Here’s How Trump and DOGE Can Cut $20 Billion and Make America Greater for Animals
January 21, 2025

Taxpayer watchdog organization White Coat Waste (WCW) has unveiled a four-point plan for President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that could save “billions in wasteful government spending and save millions of animals.”

During President Trump’s first term, he shut down many of the worst taxpayer-funded animal experiments from here at home to Wuhan, China, with his Environmental Protection Agency animal testing phaseout.

WCW’s plan involves defunding dog and cat experiments, cutting off Chinese animal labs, restoring Trump’s EPA animal testing phase-out, and abolishing the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

The organization estimates that the United States has spent $4 billion on cruel and wasteful tests on dogs and cats over the past decade. These tests include “NIH’s ongoing $5 million cocaine tests on beagles, its $770,000 treadmill experiments on zombified cats in a Russian lab (that we shut down!), and over $1.5 million it’s squandering to spin kittens around for motion sickness experiments.”

During his first administration, President Trump personally cut Dr. Anthony Fauci’s funding for the Wuhan animal lab after White Coat Waste exposed how much money was being sent there. Unfortunately, dozens of cruel labs are still operating in China on the U.S. taxpayer’s dime. 

WCW recently exposed how a single lab in China has been given $2 million to test on puppies and kittens.

“Another WCW investigation unearthed how the USDA is currently collaborating with Wuhan lab experimenters on a dangerous and inhumane $1 million bird flu gain-of-function project,” WCW said in an explainer about the four-point plan. “The Department of Defense has been funding dangerous virus labs in China, too.”

Biden granted Fauci a preemptive pardon for any crimes he may have committed before leaving office on Monday.

Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency chief, Andrew Wheeler, worked with WCW in 2019 to phase out lab testing on mammals by 2035, but Joe Biden eliminated the plan.

“Unfortunately, within months of taking office, the Biden EPA eliminated the plan to end animal tests and retire rabbits,” WCW explained. “Now, the agency is wasting millions to make animals obese and force them to inhale truck exhaust, wildfire smoke, and firearm emissions, and making companies poison puppies with pesticides.  The EPA’s main animal testing lab has an annual budget of over $100 million.”

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) currently has a $6.5 billion annual taxpayer-funded budget. That money is being spent on “maximum pain tick bite experiments on puppies, creating transgender animals, building a dangerous new U.S. bat virus lab, implanting human fetal body parts into lab animals, COVID infection experiments on cats, and confining thousands of primates on Monkey Island for deadly virus experiments,” according to the WCW report.

The agency spent $500,000 to turn monkeys “transgender” to try and figure out why transgender “women,” biological males, experience higher rates of HIV.

Fauci’s NIAID Spent Nearly $500,000 ‘to Turn Monkeys Transgender’

Beyond these horrors, the agency funding gain of function research in Wuhan, which many believe may have been the cause of COVID, should be enough to shut it down entirely.

Wheeler said in a statement provided to Gateway Pundit, “As a lifelong animal lover and President Trump’s EPA Administrator, in 2019 I proudly worked with White Coat Waste to announce a first-of-its-kind plan to responsibly phase out cruel, costly, and ineffective animal testing conducted by and required by the EPA. I was shocked when, instead of attempting to meet my benchmarks for replacing animal testing with superior alternatives, the Biden-Harris Administration completely canceled the plan soon after President Trump and I left office. Reinstating my animal testing phaseout at the EPA is an easy way for the incoming Trump Administration to spare thousands of dogs and other animals from painful experiments, protect public health, save tens of millions of tax dollars. I’m pleased to join White Coat Waste in this effort.”

Sen. Joni Ernst, Reps. Nancy Mace, Greg Steube, Paul Gosar, and Wheeler have endorsed the four-point plan. 

Roger Stone, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, Lara Trump, Dr. Marty Makary, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. also support the organization's mission.

In an op-ed for Townhall endorsing the plan, Roger Stone wrote, “In his triumphant return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, President Trump is perfectly positioned to pick up where he left off and make even more animal welfare history by cutting reckless spending that hurts animals and taxpayers.”

Anthony Bellotti, Founder and President of government watchdog White Coat Waste Project, said in a statement:

“White Coat Waste’s 100-day plan for Trump will help DOGE ditch billions in wasteful spending on federal fiascos we’ve exposed during the Biden years like Fauci's beagle and kitten labs, NIH's cocaine experiments on puppies, EPA's animal tests for gun control and climate change, transgender mice, and reckless funding for dozens of animal labs in China that torture dogs and play with deadly viruses.  The first Trump administration made historic progress to cut animal tests exposed by WCW including defunding the Wuhan lab that likely caused COVID, shutting down the government’s largest cat lab, cutting dog testing at the VA and launching a landmark initiative to end EPA animal testing. We’re proud to have the support of leading lawmakers, DOGE decision-makers, and Trump allies to keep up this momentum. A growing majority of taxpayers—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike—oppose Uncle Sam’s wasteful, dangerous, and cruel animal experiments at home and abroad and don’t want to be forced to pay billions for these boondoggles. Donald Trump can continue his legacy of Making America Greater for Animals by gutting government animal tests. The solution is simple: Stop the money. Stop the madness!” 

Senate DOGE Caucus Chair Joni Ernst said, “Working with White Coat Waste, I’ve stopped Fauci’s cruel beagle tests, clipped the wings off batty spending at the Wuhan lab, and defunded the mad scientists at EcoHealth Alliance. I’m excited to collaborate with WCW and the Trump administration to stop all wasteful spending in China and end the monkey business. Washington needs to keep its paws off taxpayers’ money.”

Rep. Paul Gosar added, “Since 2019, I’ve been proud to work with White Coat Waste to slash reckless spending by Dr Fauci and others that tortures pets, engineers deadly and incurable viruses, creates transgender lab animals, implants aborted baby parts into “humanized” rodents, and even funds foreign enemies’ animal labs. President Donald Trump can cut billions in spending and Make America Great Again by continuing the outstanding work he started during his first term to stop wasteful, dangerous, and grotesque animal tests."

Spain’s Socialist PM Urges World to ‘Fight Back’ Against Trump and ‘Silicon Valley Techno-Caste’

Spain’s Socialist PM Urges World to ‘Fight Back’ Against Trump and ‘Silicon Valley Techno-Caste’

Spain’s Socialist PM Urges World to ‘Fight Back’ Against Trump and ‘Silicon Valley Techno-Caste’
January 21, 2025

Pedro Sanchez

Spain’s socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is urging the world to “fight back” against Trump and the “Silicon Valley techno-caste.”

Speaking on Monday as Donald Trump took office for the second time, Sánchez accused American tech billionaires of “trying to use their absolute power over social media to control public debate and, therefore, government action, in the entire Western world.”

“I want to be clear and concise on this, I will say it in less than 280 characters: democracy is not one euro, one vote; it is not one tweet, one vote; it is one person, one vote,” He continued.

”Therefore, Europe must stand up to this threat and defend democracy,” he said.

While Musk did not name any of the tech moguls by name, it was an obvious reference to Elon Musk, who has infuriated left-wing establishments around the world by purchasing Twitter and ending the censorship regime implemented under its previous leadership.

Sanchez also complained about the influence of the “international far-right” represented by leaders such as Argentina’s Javier Milei and Hungary’s Viktor Orban, whom he claims have benefited from the lack of social media censorship.

It was also likely a jab at Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, both of whom gone out their way of to mend bridges with the 47th president and who were present at the inauguration ceremony on Monday.

His warnings come as European leaders express concern at the threat Trump and a lack of online social censorship poses to their grip on power.

The Sánchez government has faced persistent criticism over allegations of corruption and eroding democratic principles.

Controversies include the alleged mismanagement of €30 million in contracts related to COVID-19 and claims of influence-peddling involving his wife, Begoña Gómez.

He has also been accused of illegally seizing control over Spain’s public broadcaster, RTVE, in an attempt to shut down criticism of his government.

Spain’s opposition leaders have been vocal in their condemnation. Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Partido Popular, have accused Sánchez of engaging in an “anti-democratic drift.”

Meanwhile, the European People’s Party has suggested the possibility of initiating rule-of-law procedures against Sánchez’s government, though no formal actions have yet materialized.

WATCH: Border Czar Tom Homan Says ICE Has Already Started Raiding Illegal Aliens: “It’s Started. ICE Teams are Out There as of Today”
January 21, 2025

The day after President Trump was sworn into office, his administration has already begun turning this country around and reversing Biden’s disastrous policies.

On Monday, within hours of taking office, President Trump signed 42 Executive Orders, Memoranda, and Proclamations, 115 personnel actions, and over 200 executive actions, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

This includes several actions on border policy, including designating the Cartels as foreign terrorists and revoking several Biden EOs on the border, which allowed unchecked illegal immigration. Now, on day two of his second term, Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, has announced that the mass deportation efforts and illegal alien raids are underway “effective today.”

The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday that Tom Homan said the immigration raids on sanctuary cities, including Chicago and New York, may be placed on pause after details about the plan were leaked to the media.

Border Czar Tom Homan Says Raids on Sanctuary Cities to Deport Illegals May be Paused After Plan Was Leaked

This comes after it was reported last week that Immigration and Customs Enforcement was preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” in sanctuary cities on Tuesday — just one day after Trump’s inauguration.

Homan later seemed to confirm the reports but also said that leaks put law enforcement officers at "great risk" and that ICE will "make a decision based on this leak."

However, he came out on Tuesday, telling Fox's John Roberts that despite

WATCH:

Roberts: Based on your initial schedule, today, roundups of criminal illegal aliens in the process of deporting them would begin. That seems to have been put on hold for a little while. When can we expect that to happen? Where will it begin?

Homan: No, it’s started ICE teams are out there as of today. We gave them the direction to prioritize public safety threats that we're looking for, so we've been working on the target list. There was some discussion about Chicago because a operational plan was released, so we got to look at and reevaluate, does this raise officer safety concerns? And it does, but we've addressed that, and teams are out there effective today.

Serial Liar Anthony Fauci Breaks Silence After Biden Grants Him Preemptive Pardon Over COVID Crimes Allegations

In a final act of blatant disregard for justice, outgoing President Joe Biden issued a preemptive pardon to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, shielding him from any future prosecution related to his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fauci, who has been widely criticized for his inconsistent guidance, misleading statements, coverup, and involvement in controversial research funding, now escapes accountability thanks to Biden’s unprecedented use of executive clemency.

“For more than half a century, Dr. Fauci served our country. He saved countless lives by managing the government’s response to pressing health crises, including HIV/AIDS, as well as the Ebola and Zika viruses. During his tenure as my Chief Medical Advisor, he helped the country tackle a once-in-a-century pandemic. The United States is safer and healthier because of him,” Biden wrote.

Recall that in the 1980s, during the height of the AIDS epidemic, Dr. Fauci told Americans that children could catch AIDS from casual contact.

Fauci also withheld successful treatments from AIDS patients for over a year as THOUSANDS died. He wanted a vaccine—that never came.

Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has finally broken his silence following the controversial decision.

Fauci spoke with CNN’s Dana Bash during the network’s coverage of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Bash said that while Fauci is ‘ very appreciative’ of the pardon, he once again insisted he did not commit any crimes while overseeing the United States’ response to the COVID pandemic.

Dana Bash:
“I talked briefly to Anthony Fauci, who got one of the pardons, who said he is very appreciative of what President Biden did. He said, and again and again, he has done nothing wrong, but there are baseless accusations against him in his view, and he has been very worried about what it will mean for him, and even more so for his family.”

January 21, 2025

Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán calls for right-wingers to ‘Occupy Brussels’.

The historic second presidential term of Donald J. Trump is sending geopolitical seismic waves all over the world. In many countries, right-wing political forces that espouse a ‘common-sense’ approach to policy-making may benefit from this altogether new political landscape.

In Europe that is expected to be the case, since the last year already saw the pendulum shift tremendously to the right side of the political spectrum in most countries.

The Trump era in the US will ‘trigger a new right-wing surge in Europe’, according to conservative champion, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Orbán launched yesterday what he called ‘an offensive to occupy Brussels’.

Reuters reported:

“The nationalist premier, a long-time Trump supporter, envisages a ‘golden era’ for relations between the U.S. and EU member state Hungary under Trump’s presidency, despite a warning from Hungary’s central bank that the incoming president’s proposed tariffs on the EU will hurt Hungary’s economy.

‘Only a few hours and even the sun will shine differently in Brussels. A new president in the U.S., a large faction of Patriots in Brussels, great enthusiasm’, Orbán said before Trump’s inauguration later on Monday, which he will not attend.

‘So, the great attack can start. Hereby I launch the second phase of the offensive that aims to occupy Brussels’, Orbán told a conference, upping his anti-Brussels rhetoric.”

RIGHTWINGERS IN EUROPE ! Upper row: Netherland’s Geert Wilders, Poland PiS’ Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Sweden’s Jimmie Åkesson, Spanish Vox’s Santiago Abascal. Lower row: German AfD’s Alice Weidel, Italy’s Mateo Salvini, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, French RN’s Marine Le Pen.

While Orbán’s political ‘call to arms’ can be seen as a mere celebration of this year’s victories, and an attempt to keep the momentum going, his ‘Patriots for Europe’ Group of MPs in the EU Parliament is not to be scoffed at, anymore.

For example, Austria’s Freedom Party is about to take power and negotiate a coalition.

Growing parties in Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Latvia and Poland.

Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) party in France is now a major player about to go into power.

Orban’s Hungarian Fidesz Party is in power since 2010.

Mateo Salvini’s Lega (League) is a member of the Italian governing coalition.

Geert Wilders PVV in the Netherlands, leading the governing coalition.

The Chega (Enough) party in Portugal and Vox in Spain – incidentally both parties that were present in Donald J. Trump’s inauguration.

“Orban’s Fidesz party and other right-wing parties founded the Patriots party group in the European Parliament last year. The group, led by France’s National Rally, has become the third largest in the parliament with 86 members.”

Orbán: ‘At the European election we came close to a real chance of a new right-wing majority that can replace the Brussels elite’.

European liberal establishment tries to terrorize Orbán that Trump’s tariff will destroy Hungarian car industry and the economy in general.

The EU lives in a crisis because it did not ensure the prosperity of its citizens, did nothing to stop illegal migration and didn’t even ensure its security.

“’We in Hungary are the opposition to the system in Brussels. Brussels is occupied by a left-liberal oligarchy’, Orban said. ‘At the European election we came close to a real chance of a new right-wing majority that can replace the Brussels elite’.”

Watch: Orban – ‘The executive orders signed by President Donald Trump will transform not only the US, but the entire world’.
