Last week, I ran across a few stories about how nervous some of our federal workers are to be ‘found out’....by Elon musk and Vivek’s effort.
They understand that-if someone would ever actually come in and ‘audit’? This department? We’d all lose our jobs...because little or nothing is done here.
Other workers realize their agencies have just become wildly overstaffed over the years, and they fear they’re going to lose their ‘no work’ jobs, essentially.
And so, on that plain, I have no problem with outside ‘good govt’ groups doing deep dives into what are public records...and identifying the rot and the excess.
None of these workers at EPA, or anywhere else, should think that they have a ‘right’ to their job, or a ‘right’ to not have their workplace correspondence looked at.
They work for us. Not the other way around.
On Friday- I quoted someone as suggesting that- as a first order of business- trump and musk should officially ask for government workers to be whistleblowers for their own departments.
As in: if you are a govt worker who has been appalled about how your higher ups and/or your agency is wasting taxpayer money. Playing partisan politics. Etc. Step up and blow the whistle.
I think this is a great idea.
And to that end- the daily mail is reporting that a number of NASA staffers have already called on Elon musk to ‘start with NASA’.
They are so disgusted by how this agency has lost its mission to woke politics- they are begging musk for reforms. The Daily Mail says:
Presumably- most of NASA’s employees are probably liberals, too, and so, if they are complaining about how Biden’s DEI bullying and wokeism have destroyed their department and their mission-
Imagine how this has affected things-government-wide.
It’s just one reason that this government accountability project that trump and musk have dreamt up is one of trump’s best ideas.
Even the editors of the Wall St Journal say:
Wall Street's latest DEI move sparks fresh controversy: 'They have decided not to care'
Here. Here.
It’s a massive and ugly undertaking that Musk and Vivek have signed up for- and i hope they are serious about following thru- and I hope that the first flood of lawsuits and first wave of media criticisms only work to make them angrier and further their resolve.
Because if the activist left-in concert with their accomplices in the media- can shut down this effort by trashing these men personally and stopping every move with lawsuits....DOGE is going to be a short-lived enterprise.
And we can’t have that.
At the very least- Musk and Vivek need to help the Trump team strip the DEI nonsense from as much of government, education, and academia as we can.
This DEI BS has infected an infiltrated almost every level of education and government. And it must stop.
This accounts for untold billions in waste at our various levels of government.
I want to see all sorts of public and private organizations, departments, and schools lose their federal funding because they refused to give up on their DEI bologna...or tried to find cutesy ‘end arounds’....as many of these ivy league schools have.
