I can't stop laughing about this. Apparently, well, I shouldnt say apparently, but yesterday at a pro life summit, a speaker who is a preacher, father, I don't know how those things work, spoke and at the end, gave a Nazi salute. Turns out he was head of a church here in GR.
Well. FAFO
Well. FAFO
“We believe that those who mimic the Nazi salute, even as a joke or an attempt to troll their opponents, trivialize the horror of the Holocaust and diminish the sacrifice of those who fought against its perpetrators. Such actions are harmful, divisive, and contrary to the tenets of Christian charity,” the statement said, in part.
Hip needs to learn this real fast about this place. njbuff and bowman should be banned.
Elon Musk staff has been caught plugging in hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA). His staff encountered resistance when demanding that Treasury officials grant access to systems managing the flow of more than $6 trillion annually to programs like Social Security and Medicare. Tensions escalated when Musk’s aides were discovered at OPM accessing systems, including a vast database known as the Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI), which contains sensitive information such as dates of birth, Social Security numbers, performance appraisals, home addresses, pay grades, and length of service for government employees. In response to employees speaking out, Musk’s aides locked civil servants out of computer systems and offices, with reports of personal items being searched.
A hostile takeover of the government is unfolding in real time, and it is imperative that prompt action is taken to prevent further erosion of democratic institutions. Elon Musk's involvement in government affairs must be terminated immediately. His role in the FAA Director's resignation and his current encroachment on the Treasury Department are deeply concerning.
Reuters reports that DOGE aides of Elon Musk have locked staffers of a U.S. government human resources agency out of the computer systems with millions of employees' personal information.
Even the senior officials of the Office of Personnel Management have had their access to the data systems revoked.
"We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications."
There is now, since Trump's firing of government Inspectors General, NO oversight of either Trump OR Musk.
One key database, the OPM officials cited, is Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which has "all of the birthdates, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and lengths of service of government workers."
The Office of Personnel Management is a nonpartisan agency that manages the federal workforce, and would typically be consulted ahead of significant personnel changes. They were not informed of this proposal, people familiar with the situation told The Washington Post.
In the weeks since Trump took office, Musk has moved to take control of the office, according to the Post. He visited the office on Friday and put several of his longtime allies in key positions.
Musk had sofa beds brought into the OPM office to ensure his personal team could work non-stop. The area can only be accessed with a special security badge or a security escort, an OPM employee said.
That includes Anthony Armstrong, who helped Musk buy Twitter, according to the Post. Others include Brian Bjelde from SpaceX and Amanda Scales who worked at a Musk AI firm. The trio are now in leadership positions in the office.
Musk’s team also built the system that sent 2.3 million government employees an email last week offering buyouts to anyone who voluntarily leaves their job. That system did not exist before Trump took office, the Post noted.
The email was very similar to one sent by Musk to Twitter employees after he took over.
DOGE was originally created to "supply ideas" to Trump on "cutting governement waste". This was changed by Executive Order by Trump on his first day of office, to "upgrading IT services".
Apparently this is what was intended. For Musk to physically take over computers storing sensitive information, and locking the government agencies in charge of it OUT.
What happens next is not known.
Meanwhile, the highest-ranking career Treasury official resigned today (Friday) over DOGE access to sensitive payment systems, including Social Security and Medicare.
David A. Lebryk, who has served in nonpolitical roles at the Treasury Department since 1989, the Washington Post reported. He was appointed as acting treasury secretary by President Donald Trump until Scott Bessent was confirmed.
Lebryk had a dispute with DOGE officials over access to payment systems that disburse trillions of dollars for government services, including Social Security and Medicare. The system also pays out tax refunds, salaries for federal workers, and payments to government contractors.
DOGE officials have been asking for access to the system since the election.
Why they want it, and what they intend to do, is also not known.
Trump announced at 5pm Friday a "PAUSE" of all Government websites, effective immediately. Some departments have already gone dark, while unknown changes are being made.

Elon Musk is affiliated with Scientology.
I have known since 2016 that Trump was our newly elected cult leader, and I wrote a paper comparing him to L Ronn Hubbard.
DeSantis went to Dunedin High school, I went to Clearwater High School. We were rivals. No one I know, knows Ron DeSantis. Dunedin is right next door to Scientology headquarters.
If my connecting of these dots turns out that in fact they are affiliated with Scientology, there is NO getting rid of these people and we are no longer a Republic anymore under our constitution.
I have been trying to warn people and people think I am the crazy one… it’s looking more like I pay attention and connect dots better than most people.

I also have been trying to warn people and get scoffed at, threatened, etc.
On one other forum where I post in a political group, there are a few who, leading up to the election, were very stern and firm about the dangers of electing Trump back into office. And we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
America is under siege and most people are either too distracted by TikTok and Snapchat to notice or are under the spell of the cult, which makes them part of it.

And I come from Clearwater, I was just a kid, like 8 when Scientology came in. These guys St. Petersburg Times tried to warn the city, but they still managed to take over. L Ronn Hubbards wife and 8 others went to jail for stealing government documents.
In 2020, Trump made a trip to Clearwater, FL and stayed there and met with a top donor of Scientology.
I’m not crazy. I know what I see and read, I know how Scientology lies and bullies and they don’t care about who they harm. This should be a national crisis and the Republicans leaders should be alarmed!!

Inside the other think tank orbiting Trump world
Donald Trump’s choice of a conservative leader to head his transition team signals rising influence for the America First Policy Institute.
