Could not understand the words?!
Paul Anka recently created a customized version of his iconic song “My Way” to honor Donald Trump, which was shared by Trump on March 17, 2025, via his Truth Social platform. While the full, official lyrics of this specific rendition have not been publicly released in their entirety as a complete set, snippets and references to the lyrics have appeared in various news reports and posts on X, providing a partial picture of the content. This version includes tailored references to Trump’s life, such as Mar-a-Lago and the White House, and reflects their long-standing friendship.
Based on available information from sources like the Washington Examiner and posts on X, here’s an approximation of some of the lyrics from Anka’s Trump-inspired version, pieced together from reported excerpts:
References to Trump’s properties: Lines mentioning “Mar-a-Lago” and “the White House” highlight Trump’s personal and presidential milestones.
Leadership and personality: “You’re no novice / I bet you can’t wait to renovate that Oval Office” suggests Trump’s confidence and hands-on approach.
Economic ambition: A line about wiping “out the national debt” nods to Trump’s policy promises.
First Lady reference: “No more First Lady, we have First Babe” (noted in an X post) appears to compliment Melania Trump.
Resilience and triumph: “Nothing could stop our President Trump” emphasizes Trump’s determination, with Anka reportedly concluding, “Mr. President, my friend … you just do it. You do it your way.”
Has anyone who was collecting Social Security for a dead person been arrested yet?
Anyone see numbers of how many of those 120+ year olds were receiving SS checks?
More details on AOC’s illegal employee:
Note that the article states De La Vega was hired for AOC’s reelection campaign. She was a sitting congressperson at the time of his hiring. So… DACA-recipients are prohibited from working for congresspeople on Capitol Hill, but not from working for a sitting congressperson as long as it’s outside the Capitol Complex? Okay…
“Deputy communications director” was De La Vega’s official job title for AOC’s reelection campaign for which he reportedly made $80,000/yr — which means he had to have given his legal ID to her payroll administrator to get his salary. From what this writer has been able to ascertain, DACA-conferred identification (driver’s licenses, passports) are indistinguishable from those given to native-born Americans so it appears to be somewhat of an honor system. No one would know he wasn’t native born unless he told them. We don’t know the backstory as to why he never went to work for her on the Hill. One presumes it’s because it was just too flagrantly illegal, not that that stops most of these cretins but at least here, it appears to be the case.
Still, the potential for illegality just rolls like a river here. Quite apart from the troubling matter of him (likely) still having his DACA-conferred Social Security card (Obama was handing out Social Security cards like candy) and his (presumably) DACA-conferred American passport sitting in a sock drawer somewhere in Bogota (imagine the black market value of that down there), then there’s the matter of De la Vega harboring an illegal.

And how does the average salary of classroom teachers compare to that?
lyby asks: “how does the U.S. average salary for classroom teachers compare to the Department of Education salaries?”
The average U.S. classroom teacher salary is about $71,699 (2023-24), with total compensation around $77,000-$80,000 including benefits. Department of Education employees average $112,000-$113,000 in 2025, with compensation up to $160,000. Federal staff earn 50%-100% more than teachers, reflecting differences in role and funding.
This means Department of Education employees generally earn 50% to over 100% more than the average classroom teacher, depending on whether you compare base salaries or total compensation. The disparity stems from differences in job function and funding: classroom teachers are paid through state and local budgets, often constrained by taxpayer resources, while Department of Education staff receive federal salaries aligned with administrative and policy roles. Specific positions within the Department, like analysts or executives, can skew the average upward compared to the frontline teaching workforce.
