Government Waste and Corruption thread

Interested to hear @Marauder06 perspective on this. In your experience at USMA, are woke, civilian professors even an issue? I'm guessing civilian professors are less likely to share their personal politics at a service academy. @Marauder06 If your not comfortable commenting on this, roger that!

I don't think it would be prudent for me to comment on pre-decisional issues, especially ones that are outside my area of expertise and far above my pay grade. I will say, though, that you all know my personal politics and if the situation at West Point was as dire as many people seem to want to make it out to be, I wouldn't work here. Period.

I'll also add that I leave my politics at the front gate when I come to work. If there are those here who don't--and I'm struggling to come up with any specific examples of that in my mind--then maybe they need to find another line of work. We're here for one reason: to support the unit's mission, the Army, and the nation. Anything else is secondary.

The Academy had a direction under the last presidential administration, and I reacted to it by... doing my job. If the Academy takes another direction under the new administration I will react to it by... doing my job.

Any organization can be improved. But I think this one does good work for the nation and I'm glad to be a part of it. That was true in the past, is true now, and I expect it will be true in the future.
 
Got any USAID money?

Now that foreign aid is being shut down, governments are openly meeting with the Soros clan to discuss funding. Looks like USAID was taking cues from Soros. In Bangladesh their minister is meeting with Alex Soros. Same dude who was at the White House getting a medal from Biden.

Media is admitting that Bill Clinton was on took over 50 trips to Epstein Island.
New Jeffrey Epstein files expected to name Bill Clinton

There was a document drop related to the JFK files. Something about, "a CIA screener: Reuben Efron, a lieutenant colonel in the US Army and a Jewish immigrant from Lithuania".

Our tax dollars were used for this garbage.

related: West Point axed all of its cadet "affinity" clubs (affinity is a category, like "military," "competitive," etc.).
The U.S. Military Academy has banned organizations centered primarily on ethnic and gender affiliation as part of what it says is compliance with the effort to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs in government.

I have zero trust in transparency or anything even approaching truth when it comes to government shenanigans or the shenanigans committed by those in government when they aren't in front of a camera.

Here is how the media is going to deal with "name math" as it relates to this dumpster fire of degenerate power elite...

"So, did you ever meet with Mr Trump?"
"No - I never met with Mr Trump"
"Did Mr Trump ever contact you?"
"No Mr Trump never contacted me"
"Did anyone ever contact you on behalf of Mr Trump"
"No, no one ever contacted me on behalf of Mr Trump"
"So, did your friend ever meet with Mr Trump?"
"No - my friend never met with Mr Trump"
"Did Mr Trump ever contact your friend?"
"No Mr Trump never contacted my friend"
"Did anyone ever contact your friend on behalf of Mr Trump"
"No, no one ever contacted my friend on behalf of Mr Trump"
"Did anyone ever ask you to initiate contact with Mr Trump?"
"Did anyone ever ask your friend to initiate contact with Mr Trump?"


BREAKING NEWS - CNN UNCOVERS PROOF THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS MENTIONED OVER A DOZEN TIMES IN NEWLY RELEASED LIST OF CROOKED DEGENERATE EPSTIEN CLIENTS
...news at 11

The same goes for every other public figure. If it advances the narrative - the information will be held up as misinformation...
...sort of like Hunter Bidens laptop
...sort of like Ashley Bidens diary
...sort of like the Panama Papers

If it can be used to denigrate or undermine a political opponent, facts will be twisted or buried appropriately.

Rinse
Repeat
 
That's not what the article says. Don't get me wrong, dude's a shitbag and I have zero doubt he went there.
You're right, I skimmed through. That said, from recollection the name John Doe (aka Clinton) appears quite a bit in the flight logs. If the documents cited are the logs, he's been to the island and other Epstein properties multiple times.

One of the United States’ leading funders of science and engineering research is planning to lay off between a quarter and a half of its staff in the next two months, a top National Science Foundation official said Tuesday.

The comments by Assistant Director Susan Margulies came at an all-hands meeting of the NSF’s Engineering Directorate, according to two program managers who attended.

Marguiles, NSF and the White House didn’t respond to detailed questions about the layoffs and their potential implications.


“A large-scale reduction, in response to the President’s workforce executive orders, is already happening,” a spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management said in an email. “The government is restructuring, and unfortunately, many employees will later realize they missed a valuable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the deferred resignation offer.”

The NSF announcement comes amid reports of planned layoffs at the General Services Administration and with a Thursday deadline looming for federal workers to accept buyouts from the Trump administration that some former government officials have warned are legally dubious.

The Trump administration is trying to “scare the shit out of people so they take advantage of the resignation offers out of fear,” said one NSF program manager who asked not to be identified to avoid retribution.

But if the White House and its so-called Department of Government Efficiency are serious about slashing NSF, the result would be catastrophic, the same program manager warned. Cutting the $10 billion grantmaking agency in half would “gut the intellectual center of U.S. leadership in science and technology,” the official said.

It’s unclear how the threatened reduction in force at NSF would comply with union agreements the agency has with the American Federation of Government Employees. AFGE didn’t respond to requests for comment.
