Here are 6 things you may not have noticed, but these short items are important:
- Taxpayers Spent $207 Million to Pay Bureaucrats to Work for Unions in 2024 in Biden’s Final Year
Taxpayers spent $207 million to pay federal government employees not for their official government jobs but for hours worked for unions in 2024.
Federal employees worked 3.2 million hours for unions in 2024. For federal employees who spent some time working for unions, this represented 11.25% of their overall work time.
- Federal Agencies to Delete Employee COVID Vaccine Records
The Trump administration has ordered all federal agencies to eliminate records related to workers’ COVID-19 vaccination status, noncompliance with pandemic-era mandates, or requests for vaccine exemptions.
“Federal workers were fired, punished, or sidelined for simply making a personal medical decision. That should never have happened,” the Office of Personnel Management said in a statement.
- California’s Unemployment Rate Rose to 5.5% in July – the Highest Among U.S. States
Bed Bath & Beyond’s new owners say they will not open any stores in California because of regulations, taxes and crime. Less jobs is California’s history as they see Chevron, IN-N-OUT and more leaving. It was largely government and tax supported jobs such as education that grew.
California’s job record is the worst in the nation.
- Media Matters Lawsuit Nightmare: $15 Million from FCC and Musk
The radical group Media Matters for America (MMFA) is overwhelmed by lawsuits stemming from Elon Musk’s company, X and the Federal Trade Commission.
The organization has amassed $15 million worth of legal fees over the last several months.
Musk and X filed a lawsuit against Media Matters, alleging that the media watchdog had defamed the social media platform. The lawsuit followed a report published by MMFA which claimed that ads from major brands – including IBM and Comcast – could be seen next to pro-Nazi posts on X.
The FTC launched an inquiry into Media Matters in May about whether it had illegally colluded with advertisers in order to harm Musk’s social media platform.
- Finally, Russiagate Democrat Indictments
Vice President JD Vance says “You’re going to see a lot” of Democrats indicted over the Russia Hoax.
“What they basically did is they defrauded the American people in order to take Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign talking points and turn them into intelligence,” the vice president said.
“They would take something that supported a Hillary Clinton campaign talking point, and they would overemphasize it and exaggerate it,” he continued.
“They took anything that actually contradicted that narrative, and they buried it deep.”
- The U.S. Officially Rejected the World Health Organization Citing Threats to National Sovereignty, Free Speech and Constitutional Protections
If not rejected, it would have allowed the WHO to influence lockdowns, vaccine documentations, and pandemic declarations without approval from elected officials or public input.
Austria, Italy and Israel also blocked the amendments.
