As the Biden regime prepares to exit, it has orchestrated a move as a cunning attempt to undermine the incoming Trump administration’s agenda to streamline government operations. In a last-minute deal, the Biden regime has locked in telework protections for 42,000 Social Security Administration (SSA) employees until 2029. The agreement, reached with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), ensures remote work privileges for these federal workers for the next five years, despite the Trump administration’s explicit plans to slash such arrangements, according to Bloomberg.

This is the problem, they negotiate their own deals, pay scales, pensions, etc... The public does not have any input or say in the matter except that they are required to pay for it all with taxes and borrowing. While someone may be able to work remotely, those rules for logging on, doing X amount of work during that period of time, etc.. can be monitored. Any infraction being reason to fire or disciplinary actions. And, Congress has the power of the purse to fund or not fund too.

Easy for Trump to undo, but the fact that he has to do it will allow the media to paint him as a cruel, heartless CEO. ...was authorized by outgoing SSA Commissioner Martin O’Malley... Ah, the former governor of Maryland. Known as "MOM" during his tenure as the state's nanny, he's still looking out for the solid citizens in Baltimore, where the SSA is headquartered. So expect Trump's reversal to take on a racial spin.

This makes zero sense - - as usual. 1. Federal employees are forbidden to form unions. 2. No administration can bind the hands of future administrations. Our sharp posters are correct - - President Trump can tear up this worthless piece of paper on Day One - - and fire bloated bureaucracies at will.

Considering all of the hacker breaches in recent years, the only way to secure SSA data is to isolate the SSA computers from the internet. But, that would eliminate working from home.

A conservative influencer who helped President-elect Donald Trump claim victory in Pennsylvania is now focusing on New Jersey—a state that he suggests could flip red in upcoming elections. In November, Vice President Kamala Harris secured victory in New Jersey with 52% of the vote, defeating President-elect Donald Trump by just under six points in a state that was never considered a battleground. The gap between the two candidates was much tighter than in 2020, when President Biden carried the state by almost 16 points. Some analysts now suggest New Jersey has transitioned from a blue state to a swing state.

Exposure to lead in gasoline during childhood resulted in many millions of excess cases of psychiatric disorders over the last 75 years, a new study estimates. Lead was banned from automobile fuel in 1996. The study, published Wednesday in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, looked at its lasting impact in the U.S. by analyzing childhood blood lead levels from 1940 to 2015. According to the findings, the national population experienced an estimated 151 million excess mental health disorders attributable to exposure to lead from car exhaust during children’s early development.

Luigi Mangione, 26, comes from a powerful Maryland family centered around the late patriarch Nicholas Mangiano, a first-generation American who built a real estate empire in the state that included country clubs and media. Nicholas, who died in 2008 aged 83 after suffering a stroke, was the owner of Turf Valley Resort and Hayfields Country Club, as well as the radio station at the WCBM-AM.
