US District Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, rejected the Trump DOJ’s motion to disqualify her from the Perkins Coie case. Last week the Trump DOJ moved to disqualify corrupt Obama Judge Beryl Howell from the Perkins Coie case for repeatedly demonstrating “partiality against and animus towards the president.” Earlier this month, President Trump stripped security clearances of the employees at DNC law firm Perkins Coie. Judge Beryl Howell blocked part of President Trump’s executive order barring employees from DNC law firm Perkins Coie from entering federal buildings. Beryl Howell granted Perkins Coie’s request for a TRO for part of...

President Donald Trump is proving once again why he’s the king of slashing government waste and draining the swamp. In a blockbuster report from Bloomberg, the Trump administration has unveiled plans to unload a massive portfolio of 443 federal properties across 47 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico—properties bloated with bureaucracy, including the headquarters of the DOJ, FBI, and even the General Services Administration (GSA) itself. The General Services Administration (GSA) disclosed a list of 443 “non-core” assets, encompassing a mix of prime commercial spaces that currently serve as regional hubs for various federal agencies. “We are identifying buildings and facilities...

Electric vehicles are “not mission critical,” said the Trump administration, which has ordered all EV chargers located at federal buildings to be shut down nationwide and newly purchased EVs to be offloaded. This comes on the heels of pausing already-promised EV infrastructure funding. The U.S. General Services Administration, or GSA, is the federal agency responsible for contracts and procurement as they relate to the government’s real estate, IT, products, and equipment, which includes vehicles. According to The Verge, there are several hundred charging stations managed by the GSA, which amounts to roughly 8,000 charging ports across the country. And they...

The Trump administration is shutting down EV chargers at all federal government buildings and is also expected to sell off the General Services Administration‘s (GSA) newly bought EVs. GSA, which manages all federal government-owned buildings, also operates the federal buildings’ EV chargers. Federally owned EVs and federal employee-owned personal EVs are charged on those 8,000 charging ports. The Verge reports it’s been told by a source that plans will be officially announced internally next week, and it’s seen an email that GSA has already sent to regional offices about the plans: “As GSA has worked to align with the current...

resident Biden is facing criticism after a bombshell report revealed that all federal agencies are less than 50 percent occupied - wasting billions in taxpayer dollars - over a year after he declared the COVID-19 pandemic over. According to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) memo to Sen. Joni Ernst, obtained by DailyMail.com, not a single federal agency has over half of its workforce in the office. That's a staggering statistic since federal agencies spend about $2 billion taxpayer dollars per year to operate and maintain federal office buildings - and over $5 billion annually in leases. The shocking findings comes...

Santino William Legan’s list included religious institutions, federal buildings and political institutions involving both the Republican and Democratic parties, said John Bennett, the bureau’s special agent in charge in San Francisco. It also mentioned the festival.

It’s bad enough that American taxpayers have been repeatedly fleeced by President Obama’s many failed “green” projects, now the commander-in-chief is dedicating an extra $2 billion—on top of $2 billion already dispersed in 2011—to make federal buildings in the United States energy efficient. It’s a necessary expense to protect the planet, according to the global warming movement spearheaded—and largely funded—by the U.S. government and much of the international community. This particular investment will cut carbon pollution by more than 380 million metric tons, according to a White House announcement. That’s equivalent to removing 80 million cars from roads for a...

Thousands of federal buildings sit empty across the country, costing taxpayers $1.6 billion every year in maintenance, but the government agency that oversees them doesn’t even have a timeline for putting the buildings to good use. An arduous process tangled with bureaucratic rules slows the sale and transfer of unused buildings, according to David Wise, physical infrastructure director for the Government Accountability Office. He told the House Subcommittee on Government Operations that various agencies have different rules for unused property, and without a time frame to force expediency, the process routinely takes years. The federal government owns or leases about...
