I’m now banned on Tik Tok and demonetized on YouTube.

I don’t take a stance on issues or bloviate into a microphone.

I do first person observation journalism.

I just show facts. No opinion.

What you must understand is the more factual you are, the more of a threat you are!

When a columnist is muted by a newspaper, the paper of record for the region, we have reached a dangerous place. The fact that it has happened multiple times to Matt is even worse. More on this at Noon on @933KJR

WOW. Longtime @SeattleTimes sports columnist @Matt_Calkins says he has RESIGNED after the paper refused to publish a column he wrote on the fight to protect girls’ sports.

[Matt Calkins @Matt_Calkins]

After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.

@JayInslee Just stop

@KIROCharlie Maybe this will help you in taking a more critical eye towards Washington politicians.

@bigdumperPm @tridenttrue He even stated earlier in spring training that one of his season goals was to pitch opening day. Sounds like he’s genuinely happy for Logan. Good team dynamics they’ve got going

IRS Tax Examiner GOES ON RECORD AND BLOWS WHISTLE ON AGENCY: “I'm Going to Bull Ahead and Do the Right Thing,” Reveals Congress Prioritizes “Band-Aid Issues” Over Systemic Problems: ‘We’re Handcuffed by Antiquated Systems’

“We also have very antiquated software. We use a software called Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS)."

“We can’t do anywhere close to what the American people think we can.”

@RyanDivish @BNightengale A national story about what has been widely excepted in the pnw for years. Frustrating for fans and players alike. But players can’t let their opinions and emotions take too much bandwidth. Especially in season, it’s good they have their focus where it should be. On their jobs

@JL91zz @jaketapper This is the WW3 option…. The world is best served to hold off Putin who’s 72 now and has reported health issues. If we stay out of WW3 and work with Russia then the US will have a much better chance of a pro western leader emerging following Putin.

@krassenstein @kevin_smith45 Cool, now add congress and the senate to it and I’ll believe you’re serious and not just virtue signaling

@WADeptHealth @GovBobFerguson Fentanyl crisis, unaffordable crisis, schools failing there most basic missions and this is your priority?

Gently, softly, calmly, let’s talk about what’s happening in DC right now.

Friends, have you ever been through a ZBB process? If not, let me give you my take. So, in a corporation where expenses are out of control, you have to put the entire company through a zero based budgeting process. It is one of the most painful things that people in a company experience.

You basically have to justify every. single. expense. And you also cut a bunch, and then only add back after you’ve gone through a proper ZBB cycle.

The US government is going through a ZBB right now. And that is necessary because spending is out of control. The complexity is so vast that I expect it will take AI to decipher.

You cannot tell me that a government that accidentally wires hundreds of millions of dollars to the Taliban has its finances in order. That signals an underlying disaster. That signals bad stewardship of resources.

In fact, it is a disaster. Over the last 20 fiscal years, the US government has made ~$2.7 trillion in "improper payments," according to the US Government Accountability Office. Trillion! With a T!

That financial management disaster was not caused by @elonmusk. And there is no painless way to clean it up.

Elon is doing what any executive would do walking into a giant mess. You ZBB and then build back.

So, I don’t believe that America is going to be on the wrong side of global right and wrong, as some are saying. I don’t believe that America is going to be permanently isolationist. I do believe that unwatched finances will get out of control in any human system, and that the GAO has been trying to ring this bell for years, and that scaled complexity requires scaled financial management.

Because the US has the largest budget in the world, it will now go through the single most complex ZBB ever undertaken in the history of the world.

Some states do ZBB, but it's never been done at the federal level. President Jimmy Carter tried, but the bureaucratic systems were too complex, and President Ronald Reagan abandoned the attempt.

So, if there is one person in the world chosen to lead this Grand Canyon of projects, we would hope for the president to choose one of the best capital allocators on the planet. Better if that human is also one who can leverage AI and technical talent to manage the massive complexity.

Anyone who has lived through a ZBB at the corporate level will tell you that it’s hell and everyone hates it. This is why I feel really bad for federal workers -- I have a lot of empathy for civil servants and people doing a great job every day for the United States. No doubt, the uncertainty is trying and stressful for many. It's an unfortunate situation.

So, that's my take. I don't want to speak beyond what I know and can observe from the other side of the country. I've worked both in the private sector and the public sector -- the cultures are different. And an Elon-Musk-style culture is going to be the most hard core of them all. No doubt, it's jarring. It's gonna be a lot.

But what I also know is that every time I have ever doubted Elon, I ended up being the one who was wrong.

In case you missed this during the Kash Patel hearing take a listen.

This was epic.🔥

This is a must-watch.

Rand Paul just WENT OFF at RFK Jr.'s hearing.
