It's crystal clear why we have never had any government cuts, reforms, or improvements. Everyone has their hand in this trillion dollar till. What is scary, is that this monster keeps growing and will take all of us with it if it finally doesn't get cut off at the knees.

Deep Stater judges don’t recuse, even if they’re caught on video being handed an envelope money as they make their ruling.

Pick any random DC apparatchik, examine their spouses, children, and friends - and you will find the most “un-diverse” group of people EVER

They all marry each other, they all have similar backgrounds, they all are climbing the greasy pole of politics and grifting off Federal Government.

Reason? Should’ve been a requirement. Self-interested. He has no business being on such a case or making such a determination.

I wonder what the net worth of this couple is? One a government employee and the other running an NGO this is supposedly feeding poor as a charity. Do I hear $30m net worth? Maybe $40m? Maybe DOGE will let us know how much these two are grifting?

Does Carol Rhees who started Hope for Children in Ethiopia somehow not know about her husband’s rulings in Planned Parenthood against babies in America?

Need an immediate investigation to determine if this Judge's connection to this blood sucking parasite organization represents a form of corruption such that the Judge can be arrested.

Need to teach these arrogant little bitches that they don't run things, and if they have something to hide, we need to arrest them.
