That video will now replace a mid-week newsletter. Click here for this week’s program on “Counter Narrative, with Kristi Leigh.” We hope you’ll tune in!

As we have been reporting, the Democrat Party is in shambles. They lack political leadership in Congress and in the media. They have no policies or issues to run on, and their bitterness towards Donald Trump is growing old. Democrat voters are tired of them, and it shows.
Pollster Rasmussen Reports found that of Democrat voters, 82 percent are on board with the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. They say it’s either Very Important (56 percent), or “Somewhat Important” (26 percent).
DOGE is moving from one agency to another, beginning at USAID, exposing outrageous and unaccountable spending. It now also has a website where you can watch the exposure of this government malfeasance in real time.
Lee Zeldin, EPA Administrator says he has found some egregious spending programs in his department:
Former staffers admit to spending $20 billion when Biden lost the election, knowing their time was short. One bragged it was like throwing “gold bars off the Titanic.” Zeldin says that $20 billion was divided among just eight climate change NGOs. The staffers used the windfall as an insurance policy to gain cushy jobs at those NGOs after Trump was inaugurated.
About $50 million of that was given as an “environmental justice grant” to the “Climate Justice Alliance, which believes “climate justice travels through a Free Palestine.” Zeldin wants the money returned and says he has referred this matter to the Inspector General’s office; they will also work with the Justice Department.
The EPA also cancelled three DEI contracts, saving American taxpayers $45 million, and two memberships with Politico news outlet worth $459,000 per year.
Why this Matters: A congressional subcommittee hearing this week looked into DOGE’s findings. We learned that since 2003, the US has sent out $2.7 trillion dollars in improper payments in Medicare and Medicaid to people overseas who are ineligible.
Reuters news agency wrote a hit piece against DOGE, to which Elon Musk responded on X: “I wonder how much money Reuters is getting from the government?”
Musk dispatched DOGE to find an answer, and they found a Department of Defense contract paying the news agency $9 million between 2018-2022 for “Large Scale Social Deception,” a social engineering project.
DOGE’s next target is the IRS, where a team has already arrived to begin an audit.
Attorney General Charges NY Democrats
Pam Bondi announced that charges have been filed against the state of New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul and AG Letitia James for failing to enforce immigration law. New York State forced DMV employees to give illegal aliens drivers licenses without vetting their documents.
Bondi was firm and determined in her warnings to State and local politicians who refuse to follow the law.
"If you don't comply with federal law we will hold you accountable. We did it to Illinois. Strike One. Strike Two is New York. If you are a state not complying with federal law, you're next, get ready."
“It’s over. It ends. And we’re coming after you.”
“Anyone leaking ICE operations will be arrested.”
"We will not stand for it. We will find you. We're going to investigate it, no matter what agency it came from. You will be prosecuted.”
Border Czar Tom Homan has referred Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the DOJ for potential prosecution. She may have impeded law enforcement by hosting a webinar showing illegals how to evade ICE.
NYC Mayor Caves to ICE
Four rogue FEMA employees, including the CFO, sent $59 million in federal funding to New York City hotels housing illegal aliens. That money was frozen by Trump, but these women sent the funding anyway. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem found out, took back the $59 million, and fired all four staffers.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams was not pleased, and complained that he needed those funds. Today, he visited the White House and met with ICE Director Tom Homan. It seems he “saw the light,” and later announced he will sign an Executive Order allowing ICE agents to use Rikers Island prison to detain illegals.
Tariffs and Canada
President Trump announced that the USA will be charging reciprocal tariffs on foreign countries. This means they will be taxed by the US at the same rate they charge us to import our goods.
This is particularly concerning for Canada. All 13 Canadian premiers met with White House officials—a historical first. They asked that Trump drop the tariffs on Canadian goods. Trump said Canada needs to pay up.
The President told reporters they need US protection and should pay for it. "I spoke to Governor Trudeau,” Trump said. “They don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there—people are in danger—they need our protection."
President Trump, who has previously called for Canada to become part of the US told reporters, "So I think Canada is going to be a very serious contender to be our 51st state."
More Winning
A federal judge is now allowing Trump's buyout plan for federal workers to proceed. US District Judge George O'Toole in Boston dissolved an earlier order he issued that had paused the program. At least 65,000 federal employees have resigned, which represents about 3 percent.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced his plans for Ukraine: no NATO membership, no return to pre-2014 borders, no US troops in Ukraine, and no more relying on the US for the majority of military funding.
President Trump has fired the 93 remaining Biden-appointed US attorneys, effective immediately.
Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as Director of National Security
RFK, Jr. has been confirmed as HHS Secretary
How to Pray: Continuing asking God to protect and bless our President. May he have God’s guidance and Holy Spirit discernment. Pray for DOGE and their safety. Pray for the end of the war in Ukraine. May God change the hearts of our corrupt bureaucrats as they see their gravy train coming to an end!
Psalm 111:10 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures for ever.
