    The FBI just raided the home of a Washington Post reporter looking for classified documents. The reporter does not cover foreign affairs, national security, intelligence, or law enforcement. She covers federal employees.

    It is not classified documents case. Just intimidation aimed at both reporters and whistleblowers.

    Note that she says nothing about national security or classified information.

    The Washington Post had no comment. Presumably, the same can be said for the Washington Post owner.

    Here at home, leftists are trying to resurrect the Black Lives Matter strategy against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement — even though black Americans are conspicuous by their absence this time around.

    Now, it’s mostly middle-aged white women eager to taunt, threaten and obstruct lawful enforcement raids targeting criminal illegal aliens.
    But the big news is that the raids are happening at all.

    We were told for decades that we couldn’t do anything about illegal immigration — at least not without a big pork-filled, amnesty-laden “bipartisan” bill.

    But now the border is basically closed, and those in the country illegally are being shipped out.

    Crime in Washington, DC, Memphis, Tenn., and other cities was out of control. Trump sent in the National Guard to fix it.

    Sometimes the mere threat of sending the Guard was enough to get local authorities to fix crime problems for themselves — something they could have done all along, but mysteriously didn’t.

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reported this week that up to 10% of the federal budget is lost to fraud annually.

    The total fraud tally is probably greater than that — Elon Musk has estimated over a trillion dollars a year, and what we’ve seen just in Minneapolis suggests he may be on track.

    Everyone has known for years that the federal budget was out of control and riddled with waste, but even the most pessimistic estimates weren’t pessimistic enough. Yet nothing was done.

    Now that’s changing, too, as Bessent launches new initiatives to shut the fraud down.

    In legend, the Gordian Knot was a rope fashioned into a knot of immense complexity. Whoever untied it would supposedly rule Asia, but no one could.

    Until Alexander the Great — who declared, “It makes no difference how it is loosed,” and cut it with his sword.

    To this day, “cutting the Gordian Knot” describes a simple, forceful approach to solving overly complex problems.

    As political scientist Wilfred Reilly recently posted, “Ending crime and unwanted migration was always as simple as it seemed to you and your buddies at the bar or on the track. A great, great deal of mid-wit noise was made to disguise this.”

    America’s institutional elite has spent decades making simple problems complex.

    But the Gordian Knot can be cut.

    Trouble with Iran? Try ousting the mullahs, not negotiating with them. (They’re better at haggling than we are.)

    Trouble with illegal aliens pouring into the country? Close the border down.

    Trouble with the illegitimate dictator of Venezuela? Depose him.

    Trouble with financial fraud? Arrest the fraudsters and shut off the money taps.

    The people who made these knotty problems knotty did too well “managing” or “addressing” them to ever actually solve them.

    Doing so would shut down the whole feedlot.

    Trump just cut the knot.

    That’s a terrible blow to the managerial class.

    If the public realizes you can actually solve problems, there will be more pressure to do that — rather than just manage them endlessly.

    That’s unforgivable. No wonder Trump is the villain in their eyes.

    Trump admin reportedly slashes billions in grants for mental health, addiction

    The Hill
    by Joseph Choi - 01/14/26 2:28 PM ET

    The Trump administration reportedly sent out notices late Tuesday announcing it was cutting hundreds of grants funding mental health and addiction services.

    NPR reported Wednesday that several programs were informed late Tuesday that their federal funding through the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration had been cut after officials determined their missions no longer aligned with that of the Trump administration.

    The outlet was unable to confirm the scale of the cuts, though sources said they could be as high as $2 billion.

    I have been in a Court situation in which a Judge has asked a child witness: "Do you know the difference between a lie and the truth? " I have often thought that with Trump's mental disorder ,the probable answer for Trump is, that like a three year old, literally he does not know the difference.

    That's the smallest middle finger I've ever seen. Like somebody waving a cocktail weenie at you.
