TRUMP TRUTH SOCIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Keystone Pipeline
President Trump just posted the following statement Monday evening:
Our Country’s doing really well, and today, I was just thinking, that the company building the Keystone XL Pipeline that was viciously jettisoned by the incompetent Biden Administration should come back to America, and get it built — NOW!
I know they were treated very badly by Sleepy Joe Biden, but the Trump Administration is very different — Easy approvals, almost immediate start! If not them, perhaps another Pipeline Company. We want the Keystone XL Pipeline built!
GOING VIRAL: Hegseth smacks down rude reporter
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth welcomed Prince Khalid bin Salman Al Saud and his delegation to the Pentagon Monday. During the meeting, Hegseth smacked down a reporter who brazenly questioned his judgement on the new Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Friday night, President Trump fired Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Charles Brown, a Biden appointee well known for his liberal DEI policies.
Trump announced that he has nominated Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a “warfighter” with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump said.
A reporter asked Hegseth on Monday, “Why did you select an underqualified retired lieutenant general to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?”
Without skipping a beat, Hegseth fired right back, “I’m going to choose to reject your unqualified question. Who’s next?”

BACK TO WORK!
Small Business Administration director Kelly Loeffler provided an update Monday, after sharing a video of an empty office on Friday. The office has gone from 20% occupancy on Friday, to 80% occupancy on Monday, due to President Trump’s order that they all get back to the office instead of working from home.
A quick update at the end of Day One of President Trump’s return-to-office order.

UPDATE FROM ELON MUSK
Musk sent out an email to all federal workers on Friday, asking them to report back in by midnight Monday with a list of 5 things they got done at work last week. The request prompted a meltdown from many liberals.
Musk had explained later that many are not even working. “In some cases, we believe non-existent people or the identities of dead people are being used to collect paychecks. In other words, there is outright fraud,” he wrote.
Monday, he commented, “The email request was utterly trivial, as the standard for passing the test was to type some words and press send! Yet so many failed even that inane test, urged on in some cases by their managers. Have you ever witnessed such INCOMPETENCE and CONTEMPT for how YOUR TAXES are being spent? Makes old Twitter look good. Didn’t think that was possible.”

FROM THE LIBERAL LOONY BIN: TikTok user calls for assassination of Elon Musk. Now she’s being paid a visit by the feds!
Sarah C. Roberts posted a video on TikTok 6 days ago, raging against Elon Musk and called for his assassination. She dared the FBI to arrest her, and claimed, “You don’t have enough people to even investigate me at this point.” She also bragged that she hasn’t filed income taxes in about 8 years.
Libs of TikTok found the video and posted it on X, tagging the FBI.
Less than 3 hours later, U.S. Attorney Ed Martin replied, “Duly noted. Thx for letting us know. We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, M’am. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw.”
Roberts now appears to have deleted her TikTok account. Apparently, she’s has found out they DO have enough people to investigate her after all.

BEHIND THE SCENES: President Trump’s assistant Dan Scavino posted another “Behind the scenes” video from the White House. Scavino has started posting these videos when the President has visitors, and they’re awesome!
Today’s visitor was French President Emmanuel Macron. Macron had arrived at the White House earlier this morning for a G7 conference with Trump, then departed briefly to do other business. When he returned for his formal discussions with Trump and other dignitaries, the president gave him a more official welcome.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass touts city’s sanctuary status, gets rebuked by Fox News reporter
“No one should live in fear due to their immigration status. Los Angeles is a City of immigrants and we will continue to stand together,” Bass just declared on X this evening.

WASTEFUL SPENDING REPORT FROM DOGE: Here’s just another crazy way the government spent your tax dollars! DOGE just posted the following:
Agencies often have more software licenses than employees, and the licenses are often idle (i.e. paid for, but not installed on any computer). For example, at GSA, with 13,000 employees, there are:
– 37,000 WinZip licenses
– 19,000 training software subscriptions (and multiple parallel training software platforms)
-7,500 project management software seats for a division with 5,500 employees
– 3 different ticketing systems running in parallel
Fixes are actively in work.
The Social Security Admin. completed the same software audit. Initial findings:
-4 redundant survey tools, ranging from $118K-$1.8M/year
-Paying for 10,000 UI Path licenses; only using 5,011
-Paying for 20,600 Tableau licenses; only using 11,560
