“A Democrat Michigan state representative told protesters Wednesday that she underwent voluntary sterilization to avoid becoming pregnant during President Donald Trump's second term, a left-wing media outlet reported.”

These people really are mentally ill.

The BBC carps about a “free press”? While on the govt take???!!!

Oh man - the disconnect is just beyond comprehension.

All true, but this is a tectonic shift in government. As such, Trump MUST be slow and careful to fully educate Americans - even the leftist lunatics - that the name of the humanitarian program WASN’T where the money went. He must avoid the appearance of being a dictator.

I understand we need to move fast and may only have two years before the midterms, but if this USAID firing isn't well-evidenced, the Dems will have ammunition in 2026 and the moderates may not stick with Trump. We need the DOGE 20-somethings to map the money trail and put people under oath to expose the corruption in money laundering. It must be done right or it will backfire.

Only then will the full weight of the matter sink in. Make Samantha Power squirm as she is forced to tell the truth.

Now we understand how/why AP was camped in Gaza and fronting for Hamas.

The left has zero to say about anything. They’ve already done everything they accuse us of! Look at them square in the face, give them the middle finger and tell them that. Then turn and dust your feet as you walk away…

How about we let those countries harmed by USAID funded seditious actions prosecute and incarcerate responsible persons ie; Samantha Powers extradited to Hungary. Oh, the possibilities,let alone the head spinning. It might get the MSM's attention to the real problems that occurred with USAID.

Sadly, all those countries will say nothing because they want those US dollars in their country. It's all a scam and we are the funders.

Expand full comment

the legit funded programs and personnel can, should, will be continued. But if a country suffered thru a " color" revolution illegally found to be funded thru USAID ( or other illegally directed funding ) which was directly/actively supported by U.S. personnel, such that the harmed country can make a prosecutable case against said persons, then allowing that U.S. citizen to be extradited and prosecuted by the aggrieved country would make a hell of a statement and serve justice IMHO.

So let me get this straight: a middle-aged white liberal woman - you know, one of the foot-soldiers in the TDS and woke regime - had herself sterilized.

When they cannot defend their arguments and their beliefs, they never stop to consider that they may be wrong. No, they scream at the sky and then go get sterilized because they are so angry. They will go thru life that way, never understanding that or considering that they could just have it all wrong. That is the definition of one screwed up ignorant person.

Being lectured by the BBC about supporting “free speech” while Tommy Robinson sits in solitary for the crime of journalism is rich. US AID did not subsidize “free speech”, it subsidized whatever narrative the bureaucrats wanted to push, and quite often it was advocating the exact opposite, supporting groups that fight for censorship.

Great point. I checked with Grok and the BBC has never run an article nor an editorial defending Robinson's free speech rights. "That's a surprise," said no one.

I voted "ONE". It should be for Trump, personally, so that he can enjoy Don's daily column. After all, he only takes ONE DOLLAR a year as salary as President of the US. He deserves this assistance.

Me too. While I would love to give Don a million subscriptions, it would mean doing exactly what USAID was doing and we can’t do that.

Agree 100%. Frankly, I was stunned to see that answer (a million) was the winner, so to speak.

A million subscriptions was my choice also, BUT, if our Surber had a million new subscribers then I'd never be able to make it through all the daily comments!

But Don doesn't charge $10K for a Don Surber Pro account either. He is under charging. Bently's are expensive!

Expand full comment

I disagree. I want a million subscriptions hidden in the budget of the Department of Education.

Expand full comment

I'll give you and "LOL" on that comment. Trump needs to jettison The Department of Education- send education back to the cities, towns, counties, and states. Educating a kid in Lander, Wyoming (for instance) is quite different from educating one in Manhattan. Same goes for colleges; no more Federal money AT ALL to colleges and universities.

Expand full comment

As for the college tuition, you either get mommy and daddy to pay or you get a loan from the local bank if you can't earn the money yourself.

When I was a kid our local bank wanted your school record, a detailed plan for what you wanted to major in along with the class schedule. The bank VP often made recommendations for electives because they didn't want their money wasted. 100% agree with you, no more feral money AT ALL.

Expand full comment

The price of college would be greatly reduced if they'd just get rid of a bunch of those administrators and have the profs get back to teaching!

Expand full comment

Universities and colleges in the US have endowments in the billions of dollars. That money, either promised in annual payments or given to the schools is invested and makes a return that goes back into the fund or endowment. It is run just like a business. The well-known and elite schools have billions invested and professors and administrators are some of the highest paid educators in the country. Explain to me why a college degree costs a student so much? Explain to me why they prefer accepting foreign students who play rack rate plus for tuition and reduce the number of US students they accept? Our kids are being and their families are being ripped off!

Expand full comment

I think Harvard or Yale has over 2 thousand more administrators than students.

Expand full comment

While I agree that feral control is bad, look at what too many loco school boards do. They magnify the federal lunacy. They also are super irresponsible with the money.

Close the schools. Give $5,000 vouchers to the parents and have a set of minimal standards based on the old Iowa basics test. The only changes allowed would be to current events sections of the test. Those to be determined by a panel with members selected, one each, by the majority and minority leaders of each chamber, and one by the president and one by the Chief Justice. Additions require a 2/3 majority, deletions require a unanimous vote.

“Ashley Allison argued in favor of DEI, saying, “I got a law degree of master’s and two bachelor’s, probably more education than all y’all added up together on this table and I have always been the least paid person on payroll at every institution I have worked in.”

I’ve got a couple of degrees myself including law. I’ve heard of a law degree, I’ve heard of a masters degree, I’ve even heard of a masters of law degree. But I’ve never heard of “a law degree of master’s.”

Perhaps those responsible for hiring her were more concerned about DEI than intellect or honesty. What say all y’all?

Expand full comment

Just to add to my comment above, by the time I completed my law degree, I was pretty tired of classroom time and tapped out of tuition money (i.e. student loans). Which is to say, I’d exhausted my “white privilege” so it was time to do some serious work. While reflecting on the time it would take for Ashley to acquire all that education and the likely cost of those numerous degrees, I wondered what actual work experience she may have and how much of her tuition was covered by grants from USAID? Rather than racism, lack of employment experience might explain her salary complaints.

Ironically she is indeed smarter than all of them at the table because none of them set her straight.

I'm guessing her two bachelorette degrees are in black studies and women's studies. A degree in basket weaving is beyond her.

Take pity on Samantha Power. Just this past May, I was onstage as a name-reader at my university's commencement and she was the commencement speaker and got an honorary degree. She was quite the big shot--big security detail, entourage of assistants. She was whisked away right after the ceremony, no time for hobnobbing with lowly profs like me.

Try to put yourself in her shoes. She can probably no longer get a gig like this, delivering her inspirational message to 20,000 people. "Congratulations, college graduates! Work hard and play your cards right as I did, and maybe you can one day be a deep-state big shot with a huge taxpayer-paid salary, a taxpayer-paid security detail, a taxpayer-paid entourage, and taxpayer-paid first-class travel and luxury accommodations wherever your exciting life takes you as you dole out hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to your cronies!

I remember her from the early part of the Obama administration. I think she was one of a bevy of youngish apparatchiks who were very enthusiastic about fundamentally transforming America and projecting American "values" abroad. Funny how all that idealism fell victim to all-too-human failings such as greed, deception, corruption, and self-dealing—as always happens with massively large and wealthy institutions that are sustained by other people's money.

It really takes some kind of indescribable brass for a bunch of people who’ve just been caught committing the greatest theft of taxpayer money in the history of the country, to be screaming and shouting and stomping and demanding that they be allowed to continue that brazen thievery right in the faces of the very people they have been stealing from! Wow.

They should be hiding away in some dark recess of a basement in utter shame and disgrace praying they will not be hauled off to jail!!

They are exactly to the letter, live and in person, those described in the Bible describes who call darkness light, and light darkness, and evil as good, and good evil; and they love their darkness rather than the light because their deeds are evil.

There was wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I am convinced that the formation of DOGE and its revelations about where OUR money is being wasted will be the bombshell of this presidency. Watergate, Iran Contra, even Boss Tweed and Tammany will fade to insignificance compared to the work of Elon and the Whiz Kids. And it's about time: we have veterans living on the street, struggling families trying to buy groceries - always one illness away from bankruptcy - while our gub'ment funds studies on how many lizards are blown out of trees by the wind.

Yes, Trump is certainly entitled to revenge - and then some, but that shot through the ear changed him - and very much in a good way. It's not revenge he's after - it's a reckoning. Me, too, by God. Me too.
