The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.

The White House is reportedly in talks with four different potential buyers for TikTok.
Speaking to reporters Sunday (March 9) on Air Force One, President Donald Trump said his administration has held discussions with these groups about purchasing the popular video platform, and all options seem promising.
“We’re dealing with four different groups, and a lot of people want it … all four are good,” said Trump, whose comments were reported by Reuters. A deal for the sale of the platform could come soon, the president added.

Kiev invokes God in threat against Crimean Bridge
Moscow has responded with a proverb and another religious reference
Ukraine is planning a third strike on Russia’s Crimean Bridge, says Ukrainian Navy Chief Aleksey Neizhpapa.
Ukraine has launched several attacks, the bridge has sustained damage only twice, with both incidents resulting in civilian casualties.
Neizhpapa insisted that the previous strikes were successful, causing damage to the bridge’s road and rail structures and limiting Russia’s ability to transport heavy military equipment. The vice admiral expressed confidence that a third attack will render the bridge inoperable, invoking the Slavic saying, ‘God loves a trinity’, meaning: ‘third time’s the charm’.
“The Russians understand we are actively discussing a third operation,” he claimed.
Moscow was quick to respond, countering Neizhpapa’s religious reference with one of its own.
“With this attitude toward religion, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine will soon acquire his relics,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
Leonid Ivlev, a Russian State Duma MP representing Crimea, dismissed the threat with a Russian proverb: “The hen hasn’t laid eggs yet, but she’s already clucking” – which is similar in meaning to ‘all bark and no bite’. He also warned Kiev against celebrating prematurely.
“I do not advise this aggressive hen from the banks of the Dnieper River to try to divide the skin until the bear is dead,” he said, meaning: ‘don’t count your chickens before they hatch’.
Another Crimean lawmaker, Yury Nesterenko, described the Navy chief’s remarks as the “mortal agony” of the Kiev regime.
“It’s yet another attempt to distract Ukrainian citizens from their country’s mounting problems and the dire situation of its armed forces at the front,” he told RIA Novosti. He also claimed that threats like this are often made ahead of Crimea’s tourist season in an attempt to instill fear.

President Trump was in Florida at the time.
On Sunday, the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) shot an armed man outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, roughly a block from the White House. The service received an alert when Metropolitan police issued a BOLO about the possibly suicidal individual. The man reportedly drove from Indiana to Washington, D.C., and also had a rifle in his car.
Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi stated, “As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm, and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel.”
The man was taken to a local hospital. The DC Metropolitan Police’s Internal Affairs Division Force Investigations Team is heading the investigation.
