RE: https://mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYou/116946669644034707
"The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs was scheduled to launch about 2,000 inquiries in 2025, all of which were derailed by Mr. Trump’s order. Among the companies spared additional scrutiny was Tesla, whose chief executive, Elon Musk, oversaw Mr. Trump’s initiative to shrink the federal government."

Good grief, what a clusterf*^%
“The ICAC inquiry has heard former UOW governance chief Alyssa White celebrated recruiting former colleagues because the university was "broke" before later agreeing recruitment processes were compromised.
Ms White accepted multiple candidates received advantages and agreed she had repeatedly breached university policies and conflicts of interest requirements.”Read more

Translation: The con artist and his cronies don't make money from offshore generics, but boy, would they ever, if they could control the entire market, and jack up the cost to patients. These people are crooks, but media treats them as truthful.

This is gross in multiple ways. Patronage nepo appointments, indeed.
Carney's chief strategist. Ties to the AI strategy. A plum reward for 2 generations of service and friendship apparently.
It's this type of thing erodes public trust in government.

Jessica Riedl wrote about the end of #DOGE, the child of Donald Trump and Elon Musk:
"DOGE created chaos, spread misinformation & incompetence, violated numerous laws, targeted minorities, killed lifesaving aid funding, likely leaked confidential information, and fed the myth that waste alone drives deficits - all to produce rounding-error savings."

Every government leadership worldwide has a SET of people looking after their kickbacks. These businesses get all the CONTRACT, TENDERS... its a PERFECT legal process. This is how POLITICIANS appear clean. People NEED to look into this because no COMPETITORS are allowed into many businesses. #Cronyism #politics #busineses

Governing a nation today needs ONE MAJOR Guideline: Get RID of Corruption and Cronyism. I am of the view that there is a need to look at priorities and to strike a balance between Income and Expenditure.Everyone wants a wage increase, then there are unions, but honestly raising funds through taxes and how this money is spent is the key to a nation's survival... definitely NOT wars. #corruption #Cronyism #politics

@treleanor @drrimmer
Lack of scrutiny and accountability, lack of whistleblowers, overworked staff, clueless student bodies, slack Unionists and almost non-existent investigative journalism. Add to this #managerialism and #NeoLiberalism with entitled individuals appointed to Councils rife with #Cronyism and you have a perfect cocktail for catastrophic failures in our education system. That’s how we got here. But we know how to get out of here as well, it just takes an education #Minister with political will and courageous spirit to sweep the broom. Are all #Education ministers capable and willing to take up the broom? That is the $M question. -

The continuing saga of #University mismanagement now focuses on the #UniverstityOfWollongong with allegations of #cronyism and favoured #consultancies.
“The corruption watchdog has confirmed three main areas it will probe, including whether the university's chief governance officer and secretary, Alyssa White, or any other staff subverted recruitment processes for governance roles.
The commission will also examine whether, since 2024, Chancellor Michael Still, Ms White, or any other staff improperly awarded or influenced the awarding of work to a consultancy company, Aspirall Consulting International.” (Source: ABC News)

A Reminder that Antofagasta’s Copper and Nickel Mine on the edge of the Boundary Waters is a Coordinated Political Project
In my most recent post about the Senate vote to overturn the Rainy River Watershed Mineral Withdrawal, I made the simple point (for what seems the umpteenth time, forgive me) that this latest bid to hand over the Boundary Waters to a foreign mining company is part of a coordinated political project, one that stretches back to Trump’s first term and with connections to Project 2025.
The coordinating is being done behind closed doors, much of it by Antofagasta’s lobbyists, and nowadays that means The Bernhardt Group, the lobbying firm that Trump’s former Secretary of Interior, David Bernhardt, set up last year. The Group has edged out all other firms and now exclusively runs the Antofagasta lobbying game in DC.
Now we have The Bernhardt Group’s lobbying disclosures for the first quarter of 2026. The form shows a slight increase in revenue — from $110,000 in the final quarters of 2025 to $120,000 this quarter. Three Bernhardt lobbyists worked every room necessary: the House, the Senate, Interior, Executive Office of the President, and USDA.
It’s notable that the Group did not lobby DOJ this quarter, as they did in 2025. As I remarked last week, passing HJR 140 likely rendered moot the case before the DC District Court of Appeals. A favorable judgment in that case seemed highly unlikely.
Having worked with the federal government to put that case on hold, the Bernhardt Group could focus instead on the political front. The House and Senate passed House Joint Resolution 140 to overturn the mineral withdrawal. The Executive Office of the President could be involved in all sorts of ways, and it’s worth remembering that one of the most powerful figures in that Office these days is Russell Vought, architect of Project 2025; the agencies (Interior and USDA) had to be captured and controlled — easy enough with people like Doug Burgum and Brooke Rollins in charge.
Under their direction, the agencies will now start taking steps to approve Antofagasta’s lease applications (the stated object on these federal disclosures) and move the Twin Metals project toward the permitting phase.

Trump: Buy American, Unless It’s for My Ballroom
President Trump, who has long married “protecting American steel” with his “Make America Great Again” slogan, reportedly accepted tens of millions of dollars in donated steel from a foreign firm for his ballroom just days before he slashed tariffs in half that could help one of its plants.
According to a report by the New York Times from earlier this week, two people familiar with the White House ballroom plans said the steel was made in Europe by ArcelorMittal, a Luxembourg-based steel manufacturer.

Former modeling agent Paolo Zampolli, a Trump confidant who introduced the president to his wife, Melania Trump, allegedly contacted a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement official to help deport his Brazilian ex-girlfriend Amanda Ungaro during a custody battle over their teenage son, according to The New York Times.
Zampolli reportedly approached ICE official David Venturella after Ungaro was arrested on fraud charges at a Miami jail, requesting she be placed in ICE detention, citing her immigration status. Records acquired by The Times indicate Ungaro was picked up by ICE agents before making bail and subsequently deported
