DOGE has uncovered that FEMA allocated $59 MILLION last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.

One of these hotels is the Roosevelt Hotel, which is owned by the Pakistani government. The hotel was on the verge of closing before Biden took office. Shortly after his administration opened the borders to illegal migrants, the hotel was repurposed as a migrant shelter.

New York City is paying $220 MILLION to rent the entire hotel for housing illegal migrants. This deal is part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout package aimed at preventing Pakistan from defaulting on its international debt.

In 2023, a whistleblower came forward to expose the situation at the Roosevelt Hotel, which continues to be funded by American taxpayers to this day.

The Roosevelt Hotel has become a hotspot for crime, with reports of young children drinking and engaging in dangerous behavior, gang members taking over, and incidents involving guns and violence. Its residents have been linked to robberies at local stores.

Anyone responsible for authorizing and transferring taxpayer money to prolong this situation should be put in handcuffs.
 
Elon is Utilizing 5GW Wartime Tactics

Let's break it down...

DOGE Squad is operating with military-grade precision, executing full-spectrum ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) to systematically map, track, and expose entrenched corruption within federal bureaucracies.

This is not random activism... it is a coordinated, intelligence-driven operation aligned with Continuity of Government (COG) and Devolution strategies.

Just as special operations forces surgically dismantle enemy networks, DOGE Squad is deploying advanced target development and prioritization to identify high-value nodes of corruption, infiltration networks, and systemic abuse mechanisms sustaining Deep State control.

By leveraging Target System Analysis (TSA) and Unconventional Warfare (UW) methodologies, they are ensuring that every engagement weakens the enemy’s command-and-control infrastructure. The Deep State’s bureaucratic strongholds are not invincible, they are crumbling under the weight of precision intelligence, exposure, and asymmetric disruption tactics.

This is a covert takedown of an illegitimate regime, executed through the Find-Fix-Track-Target-Engage-Assess (F2T2EA) framework, ensuring that no enemy asset escapes the kill chain of accountability.

DOGE Squad is not just fighting a political battle, it is neutralizing an insurgency embedded within our institutions, using counterinsurgency (COIN) and counterterrorism (CT) tactics repurposed for fifth-generation warfare (5GW).

Every bureaucratic takedown, financial exposure, and legal reckoning accelerates the collapse of the Deep State’s administrative control, paving the way for the restoration of constitutional governance under COG protocols.

This is war... not with bullets, but with intelligence, exposure, and strategic dismantling of the enemy’s operational foundation.

The Deep State’s fortresses of deception are collapsing, and DOGE Squad is leading the charge.

The full story of USAID funding Hamas is vast, and much of it was done in secret. Before and after October 7, USAID flowed uncountable hundreds of millions of dollars toward Hamas that enabled it to launch the attack and keep battling Israel afterwards.

They lied about the nature of that aid in public databases, refused to disclose what groups were getting the money, and gave tens of millions in American cash to be distributed without American supervision.

They internally admitted the aid would benefit Hamas, and even exempted themselves from anti-terrorism laws, but in public issued denials.

For all four years of the Biden administration, I prevented them from confirming a Middle East administrator because they wouldn’t acknowledge what they were doing, because continuing their secret pro-Hamas programs was more important to them.

At USAID, Funding for Terror-Tied Groups and Internal Hostility Toward Israel Goes Back Years

As the Trump administration works to shutter the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), current and former U.S. officials who worked closely with the embattled aid group say they watched for years as it funneled millions of dollars to anti-Israel advocacy groups and entities...

HOW TO READ THE DATA: TURNING POINT DOES NOT RECEIVE USAID DOLLARS
USAID grant money is everywhere. It’s so deeply woven into the nonprofit world that tracing it is like testing $100 bills for cocaine—at a certain scale, every charity has some residue.

That’s why the disclaimer at the top of the website exists:

**"NOTE: Funding is fungible, meaning USAID dollars do not directly flow into these NGOs in a literal sense. Instead, the money moves through multiple layers, with various entities handling and redistributing it.

Rather than focusing solely on individual grants or making definitive statements about how NGOs benefit from USAID, it’s more important to recognize the broader pattern of funding distribution and influence—and to cut through the layers of unaccountability."**

So, how do you determine if an NGO is truly dependent on USAID money? Context matters.

Let’s go back to the cocaine analogy: Every $100 bill has trace amounts, but a drug dealer’s cash will be covered in it. The same logic applies here.

Look at the graph on the left. That’s Defending Democracy Together Institute, Bill Kristol’s group. Over half of their funding comes from major grants. That’s a lot of cocaine.

Now, compare it to Turning Point USA on the right. Their USAID connections are multiple hops away and bottlenecked by the smallest possible intermediary grants. Even with the most extreme assumptions, only 0.2% of their funding could possibly come from this path.

This isn’t just theory for me. I worked with Charlie Kirk during the 2024 election on early voting analysis. I saw firsthand how his operation worked, and I can say with confidence: President Trump would not have won re-election without him. He flipped voter registrations on their head and made a direct push for young male voters.

Bottom line: These graphs are tools, not verdicts. Use them wisely.

Trump Signed a USAID Bill One Week Before Leaving Office​

Trump and MAGA Republicans have been blasting the USAID program claiming that the funds were wasted. Trump has repeated debunked claims that USAID money was used to pay media outlets like Politico for favorable news on Democrats and attack pieces on Republican candidates.

Trump recently claimed the debunked conspiracy could be the "biggest scandal ...in history." If USAID was so bad, why did Trump promote it several times while in office?

I think we have all known about this for years or at least suspected most of this without knowing the exact funding mechanism. Although in many cases we did know where the funding came from and couldn't understand how it was legal. How did they turn FEMA money into illegal immigrant funding?

Now we need to deal with judges who think they can over ride the President. I say just ignore them the way Biden did but with Trump they would try and impeach him. On the pother hand I cant understand where a judge has any standing to stop him. I'd say some investigations need to happen and maybe a look into the banks in the Cayman Islands to see exactly who has accounts there.
 
Title is a bit misleading. Parkersburg isn't the backwoods. But I digress........

DAVID MARCUS: Elon Musk heads to the backwoods of West Virginia in search of the national debt​

This darling little town of 30,000 holds an astounding $36 trillion dollars of debt, but it’s not the people's fault. Allow me to explain.

Back in 1957, the Bureau of the National Debt was placed in this remote Appalachian city in case of national emergency, which presumably meant nuclear war. So, while New York, Chicago, and DC were mushroom clouded, the federal government could continue banking.

Why?

From what I've gleaned from watching Trump is he learned the game in 2016.

He learned the lay of the land so to speak? He figured out DC and planned accordingly.

He's had 4 years to plan for 'Nothing can stop what is coming'.

Notice it's been 4 weeks and that the speed the are moving is unbelievable?

The democrats are apoplectic! Notice how they all are stepping in front of the microphone complaining that what he's doing is 'illegal'. Of course they never say 'what is illegal' about what he's doing, just that it's illegal! Typical.

If what he's doing they'd sue him in court.

What they're doing is finding corrupt judges to unconstitutionally legislate from the bench. This is good.

Why? Because Trump will appeal to the highest court and SCOTUS will follow the Constitution and put those judges in their place. They have no authority to do anything to the Executive!

It's a small price to pay to open up the government to scrutiny.

 
I actually don't think it's a good think to have the President tied up in court to determine the true scope of his powers. Yes it will be decided once and for all but can we really trust the SC to do the right thing? They get shit wrong all the time and if they get this one wrong we are stuck with it for a very long time.
I have no idea how long this will be tied up in court but the left is shutting down Trump and buying lots of extra time to get the shredders working 24/7. We also know that this isn't just going to stop when the court issues a decision. The hits are going to keep coming for the next 4 years. Court order after court order. The SC will decide on each one of course but that takes time. They cant just issue a blanket statement and say no more court orders from the lower courts. Of course these lower courts were created to keep the SC from having to decide on every federal issue so if they do have to decide on every federal issue then there may be some basis to just get rid of the lower courts altogether.
I haven't really seen any good arguments from either side on why this can or cant be done by the courts. Yes the executive is supposed to have the authority to run the executive branch but when Biden was in we did take him to court to stop him from cancelling debt for students. Twice. Of course he did it anyway and the republicans let him get away with it.
So how long will these appeals take? What if the appeals dont go our way and we have to keep appealing until we get to the SC? How long will that take? Do we just have an appointed Treasury secretary that has to stay at home because he isn't allowed to do his job? Seems insane to me but here we are.
