Here’s How Trump 2.0 Can Cut $20 Billion in Spending, Wipe Out Fauci’s Leftover Bloat — and Save Animals; COVID Death Coverup: Trump-Hating Lawyers at DOJ Strike Again, and other C-Virus related stories

Here’s how Trump 2.0 can cut $20 billion in spending, wipe out Fauci’s leftover bloat — and save animals:
President-elect Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency has elevated the problem of wasteful spending from think-tank white papers to a national cover story. With $36 trillion in national debt — more than $300,000 per taxpayer — there’s a lot of spending to slash.
What better way to start than by cutting the $20 billion the government wastes every year on dead-end experiments that torture dogs, cats and other animals?
Trump 1.0 scored unprecedented wins against expensive and ineffective animal tests. Here are four easy ways the returning administration and Congress can continue to save millions of animals and stop billions in reckless spending.
1. Defund painful testing on dogs and cats.
COVID czar Anthony Fauci may be gone from government, but we’ve uncovered how cruel taxpayer-funded testing on dogs and cats he and other bureaucrats greenlit continues at labs in the United States, China, Canada and elsewhere.
DOGE recently highlighted a number of these wasteful programs we’ve exposed including the $5 million the National Institutes of Health is squandering to inject beagles with cocaine, the $770,000 the NIH shipped to a Russian lab to sever cats’ spinal cords and force them to run on treadmills and more than $1 million spent to spin kittens around for motion-sickness experiments.
Eighty-five percent of taxpayers oppose government funding for painful experiments on pets, a national October poll found.
But we detailed at a congressional briefing last month that more than 60,000 dogs and cats are still locked in American labs. End it now.
2. Cut off China’s animal labs:
The NIH is still funding 26 animal-testing laboratories in China, several of which are linked to the Chinese military and government. The agency recently paid one lab in China more than $2 million to force-feed and inject puppies and other animals with experimental drugs in completely unnecessary tests. --->READ MORE HERE

COVID Death Coverup: Trump-Hating Lawyers at DOJ Strike Again:
The last time a tornado hit Washington, D.C., like this was August 1814. That’s when British troops were fleeing a frightening twister. The storm extinguished fires the British set and killed more redcoats than the American army did.
In the last 72 hours, Donald Trump has whirled through the Washington bureaucracy with similar fury. Things that seemed impossible last week, Trump made possible, like revoking LBJ’s sixty-year-old Executive Order 11246 that mandated the use of race in government contracting.
Yet there is a mountain of problems. Meet two DOJ lawyers who used their positions to target the first Trump administration: Deborah Zerwitz and Jennifer Ramella.
Unlike Jack Smith, Zerwitz and Ramella are still employed at DOJ.
Zerwitz and Ramella are two progressive DOJ lawyers who work for the Inspector General. They authored the recent hit job on the first Trump term.
More on who they are in a moment, lots more.
Here’s the hit. Just before the inauguration, the pair authored a little-noticed hit piece on actions taken in the first Trump term.
Specifically, they worked on a report by the DOJ Inspector General. The DOJ IG published a report about nursing home COVID deaths that occurred in New York and elsewhere.
In 2020, state officials in New York and elsewhere were shoving COVID patients into assisted living facilities, where their virus promptly spread to existing residents and killed them by the thousands.
The Trump Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation into the despicable behavior under laws prohibiting discrimination against institutionalized persons, particularly the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 1997). The law is often referred to in shorthand as “CRIPA.” People in nursing homes have a federal civil right to not have Governor Andrew Cuomo shove sick patients with a deadly disease into their otherwise healthy nursing homes. --->READ MORE HERE
