Detroit, Michigan: A whole Southwest neighborhood is flooded with residents stuck in their homes.

It all started around 2 a.m. Monday, when 911 dispatchers received multiple calls about a loud bang near Beard Street, Vernor Highway, and Livernois Avenue. Shortly after, streets began flooding and first responders began evacuating the area.

The Detroit Police Department has stepped in to assist, offering free towing for flooded or stranded vehicles. The towed vehicles will be taken to the Fourth Precinct, and Uber services will be arranged for residents whose cars are undrivable.

Happy President’s Day! 🇺🇸

In the 1990s, President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore took on a challenge that few politicians dared to confront: cutting the size of the federal government.

Facing a ballooning deficit and mounting inefficiencies, Clinton announced an ambitious plan to slash wasteful spending, shrink bureaucracy, and rein in government overreach. He signed an executive order eliminating 100,000 federal jobs, a 12% cut in administrative costs, and the consolidation or termination of hundreds of outdated programs.

One of his biggest warnings? If wasteful spending wasn’t controlled, the federal deficit would soar to $650 billion per year by the early 2000s, with a growing share of tax dollars going toward interest payments on debt instead of public investment.

Fast forward to today. In 2024, the federal deficit stands at $1.83 trillion—nearly triple Clinton’s worst-case scenario. Interest on the debt alone has reached $880 billion, consuming an ever-larger portion of the national budget.

Clinton’s reforms worked during his presidency. The federal workforce shrank by 380,000 federal jobs—a 16% decrease. Programs were streamlined, waste was reduced, and deficits were brought under control.

Yet, decades later—after the War on Terror, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID-19—government spending has soared once again, bureaucracy has expanded, and the national debt has reached historic highs.

Now, history is repeating itself. President Trump has appointed Elon Musk, widely regarded as the world's most successful CEO and technologist, to lead efforts to streamline the government and restore fiscal responsibility.

For the sake of America, I hope the Democratic Party and the corporate media can set aside their irrational opposition and support DOGE, just as they once backed Bill Clinton and Al Gore.

Germany is lost, by the way. —AUF WIEDERSEHEN, SNÖWFLAKES!!!

The Flowood Police Department has released screenshots of body cam footage at the scene of yesterday‘s officer-involved shooting.

The screenshots directly contradict the account of an alleged eyewitness to a reporter from local television station 16 WAPT News. The alleged eyewitness, who would not give his name, told the reporter he saw an officer shoot the suspect in the back while he had his hands in the air.

From the news report aired on WAPT, it’s unclear if the reporter asked any follow up questions or tried to make contact with Flowood Police Department for a comment after hearing that statement.

NEW: Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has announced his candidacy for California Governor.

Bianco made the announcement Monday morning at an event in Riverside alongside supporters and other elected officials; it was also streamed on his personal Facebook page.

It was speculated for months that the outspoken conservative and longtime supporter of Donald Trump would announce his bid to replace Gavin Newsom as the next Governor of California.

Bianco made national headlines last year when he posted a video of himself in his Riverside County Sheriff’s Department uniform addressing his social media followers in which he said he was tired of the rule of law being ignored by legislators and elected leaders, saying that he was in support of putting a “felon in the White House.“

Tonight, I’m announcing a nationwide and international multimillion-dollar ad campaign warning illegal aliens to leave our country NOW or face deportation with the inability to return to the US. This serves as a strong warning to criminal illegal aliens to not come to America. If they do, they will be hunted down and deported.

Thank you president Donald Trump for securing our border and putting America first.

Axios comparing arrest numbers without context? Classic. The real story? Fewer crossings and fewer arrests because Trump's policies worked.
