A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

The headcount at the independent federal agency prior to DOGE's onslaught was 48, and the average employee salary was $131,000 each year, according to Musk's department.

'The Inter-American Foundation, an agency whose primary action was to issue federal grants ($60million budget), has been reduced to its statutory minimum (1 active employee),' DOGE posted to its X account on Tuesday ahead of Trump's Address to the Joint Congress.

The agency was created by Congress in 1969 to issue grants to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean for 'localized community-led development,' according to its now defunct website.

Yeah, fuck that. That's not where our money should go. Deserved to be shut down for sure.
