President Trump Spanks NBC ‘Reporter’ When Media Hack Pushes Garbage Report About an Alleged ‘Fight’ Between Elon Musk and Marco Rubio

President Trump has responded to the corporate media’s latest attempt to humiliate the Trump administration and tear apart the MAGA nation.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, the far-left New York Times dropped a report on Friday claiming that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Elon Musk engaged in a shouting match during a private White House Cabinet meeting on Thursday.

The “reporting” comes from Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman, two of the Times’ biggest Trump haters. The alleged verbal brawl ended when Trump stepped in to defend Rubio and set the record straight on the administration’s priorities.

Mediaite, another leftist outlet, described it as a “knock-down, drag-out fight.”

Musk Fired-Up About Paul’s Rescission Idea For Slashing Spending Up To $500 Billion

Seeking to codify spending cuts pursued by his Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk held a closed-door lunch with Republican senators on Wednesday. Musk was said to be “elated” with Sen. Rand Paul’s recommendation to make the cuts stick with a relatively expeditious budget-slashing technique called “rescission.” The approach could guide DOGE cuts around federal judges who consider executive-branch-initiated spending cuts as exceeding constitutional authority. 

Rescission offers a means by which presidents can collaborate with Congress to cancel previously-appropriated spending. Enabled by Title X of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the rarely-used process starts with the president sending a special message to Congress, providing specific details about which budgetary authorities he wants to rescind. 

With Republicans holding a narrow 53-47 Senate majority, one of the most attractive aspects of rescission is that it doesn’t require 60 votes — a simple majority suffices to grant the president’s wish. Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley told reporters that Musk was “elated” with Paul’s proposal: “I think he didn’t realize it could be done at 51.” According to South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham, it was the first time Musk had heard of the rescission process. He said Musk reacted by triumphantly lifting his arms into the air.  

The approach promises to immunize DOGE spending cuts from federal judges who are skeptical about the executive branch’s power to cut spending that was duly authorized by Congress. This week has seen two major developments that demonstrate the strength of that judicial headwind:

Rescission is an alternative to “impoundment,” by which presidents unilaterally delay Congressionally-directed spending. First used by Thomas Jefferson, the method was restricted by the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (ICA) after Democrats felt President Nixon was abusing it. Trump has called ICA “a disaster of a law” and vowed to “do everything I can to challenge [it] in court, and if necessary, get Congress to overturn it.” However, as noted above, the same law provides the opportunity for rescission, which means Trump can use ICA to his advantage.

Oregon trans activist arrested for firebombing and shooting attacks on Tesla store

A trans Portland far-left extremist has been arrested over the firebombing and shooting attacks on Tesla in Salem, Ore.

Adam Matthew Lansky (b. November 1983) has been charged by the DOJ with illegally possessing an unregistered destructive device. He’s accused of being part of the Inauguration Day firebombing attack on the Tesla store and the Feb. 19 shooting there. Lansky allegedly pointed a semi-automatic rifle at a witness during the first incident.

Lansky uses the alias “Allison Tesla” in his activism and pornography work. He has been recruiting leftist LGBTQIA+ people in the Salem area to train with firearms. His social media shows an obsession with guns and suppressors, which he paints in trans and bright colors.

NASA’s Stranded Astronauts Confirm Biden Abandoned Them in Space — He Declined Elon Musk’s Rescue Offer For ‘Political Reasons’

NASA’s stranded astronauts have acknowledged that Joe Biden deliberately abandoned them in space for political purposes.

Barry Wilmore and his crewmate Sunita Williams have been stuck on the International Space Station since July last year after their Boeing Starliner ran into technical issues.

At a virtual press conference on Tuesday, Wilmore was asked about Elon Musk’s claim that Joe Biden declined his offer to bring them back on a SpaceX flight several months ago for “political reasons.”

“I can only say that Mr Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual,” Wilmore said.

Wilmore went on to say he and his partner at the “utmost respect” for Musk and Trump.

I can tell you, at the outset, all of us have the utmost respect for Mr. Musk, and obviously respect and admiration for our President of the United States, Donald Trump.

We appreciate them, we appreciate all they do for us, for human spaceflight, for our nation. We’re thankful that they’re in the positions they’re in.

The words they’ve said — politics — I mean, that’s part of life. We understand that, and there’s an important reason why we have a political system, and the political system that we do have.

And we’re behind it 100 percent. We know what we’ve lived up here. We know the ins and outs and the specifics that they may not be privy to.

And I’m sure they have some issues that they’re dealing with, information that they have that we are not privy to.

So when I think about your question, that’s part of life. We are on board with it, we support our nation, we support our nation’s leaders and we’re thankful for them.

During an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience last week, Musk explained how Biden had declined his offer and intentionally “pushed the return date past the inauguration date.”

Elon Musk Drops Truth Bomb on Washington’s Corrupt Money Machine: “This is Really Going to Get Me Assassinated”

Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries.

“I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites.

“Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.”

In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress, who are somehow able to transform their modest $170,000-a-year salaries into multimillion-dollar fortunes.

Musk didn’t hold back, stating, “It’s literally impossible” for these politicians to legally amass such wealth.

The conversation inevitably turned to one of the most notorious examples of Washington corruption: former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and his husband Paul Pelosi.

It can be recalled that Paul Pelosi dumped over $500,000 worth of Visa stock just weeks before the Department of Justice slapped the financial giant with an antitrust lawsuit.

Following the lawsuit’s announcement, Visa’s stock price plummeted by 5.5%, leading to speculation about the timing of Pelosi’s stock sale.

Former President Donald Trump has publicly called for Nancy Pelosi to face prosecution over the transaction, suggesting that the sale was not coincidental.

“Nancy Pelosi sold vast amounts of Visa stock one day before the big lawsuit that we all read about a few days ago,” Trump said. “She should be prosecuted… Nancy Pelosi should be prosecuted for that.” 

This incident is not isolated. The Pelosis have a history of fortuitously timed trades that have consistently outperformed the market, leading to widespread speculation about the use of nonpublic information for personal gain.

For instance, in 2023, their investment portfolio reportedly achieved a 65% return, significantly surpassing the S&P 500’s 24% gain. ​

Moreover, in 2022, Paul Pelosi purchased over $1 million in Nvidia call options just weeks before a congressional vote on substantial subsidies to the chip manufacturing industry, raising further eyebrows about potential conflicts of interest.

In the same year, Paul Pelosi dumped 20,000 shares of Google stock in December—a month before the Department of Justice and Merrick Garland filed their antitrust lawsuit.

Nancy Pelosi has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting that she does not own any stocks and has no involvement in her husband’s financial transactions.

Elon Musk Explains the ‘Non-Profit’ Grift That George Soros Has Been Running on the U.S. Government and Taxpayers 

During an episode of the Joe Rogan podcast this weekend, Elon Musk explained how left wing billionaire George Soros has perfected the art of fleecing American taxpayers by using non-profit organizations (NGOs) to advance his progressive agenda.

Musk suggests that once one of these organizations is established, they can then lobby the U.S. government for millions in grants and other forms of aid and that there is little to no accountability.

This is one of the reasons why the left is freaking out about DOGE and the exposure of these grifts. DOGE represents an existential threat to the left’s ability to fund their political machine.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

ELON MUSK: It’s a gigantic scam—one of the biggest, maybe the biggest scam ever.

JOE ROGAN: And how many NGOs are there?

ELON MUSK: I think the total number of NGOs is probably in the millions, but in terms of large NGOs—tens of thousands.

It’s actually kind of a hack to the system where someone can get an NGO stood up for a fairly small amount of money. George Soros was really good at this. He’s like a system hacker. He figured out how to hack the system. He’s a genius at arbitrage. I mean, these days, he’s pretty old, but he was a genius at arbitrage.

He figured out that you could leverage a small amount of money to create a nonprofit, then lobby politicians to send a ton of money to that nonprofit. So you can take what might be a $10 million donation to create a nonprofit and leverage that into a billion-dollar NGO.

And “nonprofit” is a weird word. It’s just a non-governmental organization. The government continues to fund it every year, and it’ll have a nice-sounding name like The Institute for Peace or something like that. But really, it’s a graft machine.

JOE ROGAN: And what are the requirements for that money? What do they have to do?

ELON MUSK: Really, no requirements at all.

DOGE doubles down on ‘what did you do last week’ emails — with a new requirement

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has sent out a second mass e-mail to executive branch employees requiring them to list their weekly accomplishments by midnight Monday — but with a new requirement excepting classified information.

The new missive hit email boxes Saturday night via the Office of Personnel Management, and bore the subject line “What did you do last week? Part II,” in a callback to last week’s DOGE email that caused an uproar and confusion.

The federal employees have until 11:59 p.m. ET Monday to write an email listing 5 bullets describing what they accomplished last week.

The email added the new requirement that targeted agencies whose employees sought to be exempt from the extra paperwork due to the secretive nature of their work.

Respondents were told not to send links, attachments, or any classified or sensitive information — and were given the option to write “All of my activities are sensitive.”

‘Maximally transparent’ DOGE now tells federal court its records are ‘not subject to FOIA’ requests 

While standing next to President Donald Trump in the Oval Office earlier this month, billionaire Elon Musk, the de facto head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claimed that his team had been “maximally transparent” as the Trump administration seeks to gut the federal workforce. But in recent court filings, the government said it will not provide DOGE records to the public under Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, claiming that the organization is exempt from the law.

Justice Department attorneys on Thursday filed court documents in connection with a FOIA lawsuit in Washington, D.C., wherein they state that Trump’s executive order redesignated the U.S. Digital Service as the U.S. DOGE Service, removing the organization from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to make it a “free-standing component of the Executive Office of the President.”

As such, the government claimed that DOGE is “not subject to FOIA.”

Teary-Eyed Federal Employee Compares Filling Out Elon Musk’s Email to “What I Imagine Living in North Korea to be Like”

Leftist federal workers are having a rough time completing Elon Musk’s request to respond to an email about the work you did last week.

Elon explained at President Trump 47’s first cabinet meeting that this was an attempt for government workers to show a “sign of life” since they were receiving government paychecks.

It will be interesting to see how many are NOT returned and how many go to dead accounts!

One pretty little snowflake had a particularly difficult time with the task. She cut an 8 minute video due to the trauma the email caused her. She also compared the task to living in North Korea.

Government Employee: I have plenty of things to report. I did plenty of work last week. But the feeling of just absolute existential dread that I felt typing out a response to that email is something that I wish I could convey to everyone because it felt like such a glimpse into the reality that they are trying to create, and it was terrifying. It felt like, You will do what I say or else. The email that we received did not say that failure to respond would be taken as a resignation. But the Host on X did say that…

… The feeling that I felt responding to that email was such a glimpse into a possible future here, probable future here, if we don’t fucking do something about it. It felt so scary and so heartbreaking. It felt much like I would imagine living in a place like what I always imagine North to be like would be like, where the energy is, Yes, master, your wish is my command.

What an ignorant nutcase!

Red-District DOGE Protests, Cited As Proof of Broad Musk ‘Backlash,’ Were Organized By Left-Wing Groups

When angry voters confronted Rep. Rich McCormick over DOGE at a town hall held in the Georgia Republican’s deep-red district, the New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS News cited the scene as proof of emerging bipartisan “backlash” over Elon Musk’s efforts to slash government spending. CBS included a quote from one of the protest’s organizers, Maggie Goldman, describing her only as a McCormick constituent.

Goldman does live in McCormick’s district, though she’s far from a concerned supporter of the two-term Republican. A self-described “Democrat & Political Activist,” Goldman, who did not respond to a request for comment, coordinated volunteers for Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign in 2019 and 2020, according to her LinkedIn. Shortly thereafter, she ran for her local county commission as a Democrat seeking to enact a “more inclusive policy agenda.” Goldman has donated exclusively to Democrats and sent Kamala Harris’s campaign more than $1,500 last year, according to campaign finance records. On her Facebook page, she boasted of the national media attention the McCormick protest received, sharing screenshots of headlines alongside the caption, “We really were on fire.”
