TUCKER CARLSON: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.”
This is a very humble and honest statement. Big respect to Tucker.
Taxpayers and billionaire philanthropists have spent around $1 billion on “violence interrupter” programs in Chicago over the past decade.
The backers include some of the biggest names in politics and business, like Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Steve Jobs, and Governor J.B. Pritzker.
There’s just a few problems—@Olivia_Reingold found more than two dozen instances of violence interrupters getting arrested, including a murder charge.
These are not DOGE “kids”. These are fully functioning grown men with agency. They made a choice to serve in a capacity to remove jobs, contracts, and services for anyone not white! They were highly unqualified and the very definition of handpicked, merit-less, and privileged.
A DOGE staffer tasked with flagging grants for “DEI” struggled to define the term during a deposition, after documents reportedly revealed that DOGE staff canceled 97% of National Endowment for the Humanities grants in just 22 days. This is incredibly disturbing. WHY are decisions affecting education and culture being made without what appears to be a full understanding of DEI?!

OMG, SHUT DOWN DOGE:
A DOGE official in his 20s testified today that he canceled federal research grants based on personal judgment.
No peer review. No subject matter expertise. No formal process.
Just him. And books he had read.
He flagged a grant studying HIV in prisons during the Reagan and Clinton era — decades of academic research — as “one of the craziest” because it mentioned LGBTQ in the description.
He flagged a grant examining the military service experiences of Black, Native American, female, and immigrant veterans as crazy.
His qualification for making these calls: “A person can have enough judgment from reading books.”
He was then asked if he regretted cutting programs that may have led to people dying.
“No.”
Did DOGE reduce the deficit?
“No.”
A person in their 20s. Reading books. Canceling peer-reviewed academic research. Deciding what knowledge the American government is allowed to fund.
No experience. No regret. No results.
Under oath.
40 Years Ago Today
January 12, 1986
° 1985 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP °
The #Bears' savage '46 defense' shuts down the Rams, 24-0 — the franchise's first NFC title, and the first time in NFL history that a team records consecutive shutouts in the same postseason.
After having gained an NFL playoff record 248 yards a week earlier, Eric Dickerson is limited to only 46 yards by #DaBears. The Rams offense totals just nine first downs and 130 net yards.
As "Bear Weather" arrives in the fourth quarter, Richard Dent forces a fumble by Rams quarterback Dieter Brock. Wilber Marshall recovers it and travels 52 yards through the flurries for a touchdown.
As a parent, I think this video has taught me something useful.
I recommend that you should try it on your kids, too.
I have also shared it with my wife.
