Now that USAID is under the microscope, Liz Cheney’s deep state connections are finally coming into focus. It’s worth noting Liz Cheney didn’t just work at USAID, she worked *specifically* on the Russia and Ukraine portfolio at USAID.

California, Pelosi’s home state, has likely funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into questionable pockets, just like the federal government. New York, Illinois, Texas, Arizona—you name it.

Rep. Raskin’s outburst against Elon Musk only highlights the extent to which the political elite will go to protect their corrupt interests. With a national debt spiraling out of control, Raskin’s defense of wasteful government programs is proof that he cares more about maintaining his power and profit than solving America’s financial crisis. As the …

Since you get less of what you tax, tariffs reduce consumption. So, in the short run that means a severe U.S. recession. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) February 3, 2025 …
