We’re not even three weeks into the Trump 2.0 administration. The media should really be pacing themselves on crying wolf.

The outright hysteria that DOGE and Elon Musk have inspired from the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) is nothing short of damning. The gravy train has come to a halt, and while the haggling begins over just how many “essential” employees USAID actually needs, the panic being expressed is more about the high-intensity LED lights being trained on USAID’s books. They really never thought the audit would happen to them. And now that it has, the spending that has been going on for years and years and years is turning out to be an indefensible slush fund of goodies designed to reward political cronies and pet leftist causes. And we’re likely to find out even more before this is all over.

Which means that the media is moving on to their next card to play – dox, name, and shame DOGE employees. They already started by outing six young men. Now, it seems that they have claimed their first scalp, thanks to a Wall Street Journal “reporter” with some alleged conflicts of interest.

Well, well, well. Looks like the rats are running scared, and the goal is to get rid of DOGE employees by picking them off one by one. The next target, though, is probably not going to quit so easy – just because the optics are downright hysterical. Please meet the DOGE employee – reportedly 19 year old Edward Coristine – who once went by the online handle “Big Balls.” Cue the pearl-clutching by CNN!

Oh, and it’s a day ending in Y, so Joy Reid had to have a fit about this as well.

Apparently, none of these media “elites” have rubbed elbows with Gen Z high schoolers lately. I have, thank you very much, and if people are going to get all worked up over “Big Balls,” then I’m sorry, they need to go breathe into a paper bag for a bit. Elon Musk, naturally, had the best response.

Personally, I voted for Big Balls https://t.co/gtRPzGHLDr

And because Musk is not a fan of doxxing and canceling his DOGE people, he’s currently running a poll on whether or not the fired DOGE employee should be rehired, and is very suspicious of “journalist” Katherine Long’s connections.

The other angle the media and the left is overhyping is the age of the DOGE employees. As illustrated by swamp queen Hillary Clinton yesterday, how dare we have “unvetted” young people auditing the government? In case anyone was wondering, DOGE was brilliantly constructed to replace a government agency that already existed.

On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order that renames the little-known but highly respected United States Digital Service office as the United States DOGE Service, referring to the Department of Government Efficiency, an effort helmed by tech billionaire and Trump ally Elon Musk.

The order also moves the USDS from the Office of Management and Budget to the Executive Office of the President and directs each federal agency to create a “DOGE Team” that may include a team leader, engineer, human resources specialist and attorney to help facilitate Trump’s “DOGE agenda.”

Additionally, the new USDS office is tasked with a “Software Modernization Initiative” to update software, network and IT infrastructure across the federal government.

The USDS launched in 2014 by the Obama administration in the aftermath of the botched rollout of HeathCare.gov as an office to boost the digital capabilities of the federal government.

It has operated like a digital strike team of sorts, recruiting private sector experts in design and technology to work collaboratively with federal agencies on projects that make public-facing parts of the government more efficient, modern and user-friendly.

By changing an already established government agency into the chosen instrument of destruction, Trump all but made certain that it could not be legally stopped. Elon Musk has been helping hire the new employees, and then turning them loose to flip over rocks. But these young people are actual government employees now, in an actual government agency.

It’s pretty hilarious how the left, after years of telling us to listen to teenagers about gun control and climate change, and wanting them to vote, suddenly have discovered that there are teenagers they can’t use for political purposes, so they must be stopped. Especially when you consider that this country’s independence came about because of the can-do attitudes of very young men. The Founding Fathers were not always old men wearing powdered wigs.

Why should we care if a 19 year old is hired by the government to audit the slush fund of generations? The lefties care because the kids might notice things that a bureaucrat would ignore, that’s why. Also, why should CNN, the media company who still employs Jeffrey Toobin, flip out over a nickname like “Big Balls”? After all, it’s not like the kid made anyone look at said balls, unlike Toobin.

The panic over DOGE is increasing, which means that what DOGE is doing is cutting the legs out from under the status quo of government. But, as Elon Musk said this morning, “Cyberbadger dgaf.” Expect the panic, and the doxxing, and the whining, to increase as more rocks get kicked over, and the roaches start running.
