I've been saying this for years. The Clintons were the biggest slobs of all and Hillary made it so obvious a blind man could see how she was funneling money into the foundation. A billion for her, 350 million for Obama into his foundation and probably lots more in offshore accounts.
And then of course we have millions at least that go directly into campaigns. How did Kamala go from 250 million to 1.5 billion in 3 months?
Those are just a couple of easy examples but I dont think for 1 minute that most of congress isn't in on it. All this money going missing and no one has ever spoken about it before now? (Other than me and a few others on here)

I'm sure there's a lot of fraud but not all 60 million are fraud. There's thousands of older guys who go overseas, get a young wife and have kids. They die and the wife gets to collect his SS and she also gets a check for each kid.

I think the real fraud is the Mexicans coming here and gaming the system. Others as well but primarily Mexicans and others from central and South America
 

Some Republicans are pushing back on DOGE as firings hit their home states​

  • Some Republicans are beginning to speak up against DOGE-led cuts to federal jobs.
  • It tends to happen when those cuts impact their home states.
  • They've made sure to emphasize their support for government efficiency as they've spoken out.
As the Department of Government Efficiency continues to make swift cuts to the federal workforce and government spending, a handful of Republicans have begun to push back.

depends on whose ox is being gored...

Time to cut the fat and start over.

No pain, no gain.

The "Party" is over!

So wait,

Kash Patel is set for a US Senate full-vote on confirmation as FBI director on Feb 18, 2025, as the 23rd line item(23=PAIN) on the Senate Execuitve Calendar, 8 days after the Feb 9 (2/9) 2025 Super Bowl game (9th + 8 days = 17) where a giant “Game Over” message was displayed during halftime for the world to see, as the “17th Trump nominee” to be voted on during the 119th (1/1/9 mirrored = 9/1/1) Congressional session, and only 1 day after a perfect 5-year delta for Q drop 3872, which states “To put it bluntly, Game Over” …

People can say whatever they want about Q… But the statistical probability of all of the above being both organic and unrelated is essentially 0%

 
Panic in DC!

MSNBC host goes on unhinged rant about Donald Trump and Elon Musk​

The former RNC chair appeared on MSNBC on Saturday, calling for Democrats to “show that you give a damn” as Trump and Musk cut federal spending.

Steele’s rant came during a panel discussion on a piece from progressive outlet ‘The Nation’ about Trump and Musk’s dismantling of federal agencies.

 


BREAKING: A federal judge just REJECTED an effort by a leftist group to block Elon Musk & DOGE from accessing student loan data at the Department of Education.

The judge concluded that the University of California Student Association didn't provide enough evidence to back their claim that the data could leak to the public, "Here, however, ED has not filed a motion to dismiss, and because the Court will deny UCSA’s motion for a TRO, the Court need not consider whether UCSA has carried its further burden of demonstrating that it likely has standing to sue. Nor can the Court conclude on the present record that UCSA’s theory of standing— including its contention that its members face an imminent threat of injury analogous to that protected by the common law tort of intrusion upon seclusion—is so implausible that the Court lacks authority even to consider UCSA’s motion." - Judge Randolph Moss

This is a magnificent ruling, and it's more surprising to me that it's coming from an Obama appointee. Democrats can't even get their own crooked judges to agree to stop DOGE. Nothing will stop the move to root out the waste, fraud, & abuse.
 
MTG is getting ready to start hearings on the DOGE finds. Honestly hearings are a complete waste of time. Can anyone name a time when hearings resulted in arrests and restitution paid to tax payers?
All these headlines are great but I am anxiously awaiting arrests and prosecutions. My fear is that won't happen because both parties know both parties are involved. My evidence for that is the silence from both parties over the last 2 decades. No one ever noticed 100's of billions or even trillions that was stolen?
Hoping this time is different but we've seen this game before.
One teams grabs major headlines.
Hearings to place blame
Silence as both teams head to the bar to celebrate the theft they pulled off and pacified the masses with hearings.

It's for the Congressional record. Future historians will consult the 'official' record.

Other news sources: Newspapers, online (these days), magazines aren't. official.
 


Fun Facts...

This list is enough to make your eyes water.

This is what Trump & Musk has uncovered so far in just three weeks.

This is a minuscule list of programs that are being shut down or suspended that left-wing lunatics are defending vigorously. If we had genuine journalism to report the news instead of Propaganda in this country, I am certain we would have fewer individuals with TDS.

Maybe.

3 million to the State Department to censor
conservatives.
2 million to fund Health and Human Services for a study on Facebook for children to see how they react to food advertisements.
419,000 to study rats to see if lonely rats are more likely to use cocaine.
4.8 million for Ukraine influencers
365,000 for the National Endowment of the Arts promoting circuses in national parks.

10 million for Girl Climate Activism In Brazil

2.3 million To the Federal Balloon Animal Training Academy to learn how to twist balloons into animal figures
3 million To the office of puddle depth management
1.5 million to the Bureau of Alarm Clock Testing.

Unauthorized spending programs.

Over 1200 programs are Running on autopilot Amounting to 500 billion a year

This refers to programs that were originally intended to be in effect for a year; an oversite or perhaps intentionally, they have remained unchecked for years, leading to significant financial gain for some individuals.

38 billion annually Foreign Relations Act approval 2003 is still in effect today. Expired in 2004
48 billion annually 21st Century Cures Act expired 30 years ago
37 billion annually the Quality Housing Act of 1998 Expired In 1999 Still operational.
25 billion annually The NASA Authorization Act of 2017 expired in 2018 still operational
7 billion annually The Energy Policy Act Of 2005 Expired in 2006 and is still operational
9 billion annually the Workforce and Opportunities Act of 2014 expired in 2015 still operational

Where is OUR money really going ??????
 
I know I am saying this a lot but the only solution is to lock them all up , strip them of all assets and all government pensions. When they get out of prison they should be penniless.

If I went out and robbed banks for 5 years and made millions doing it, no one would think it's a good idea to let me keep the proceeds, skip prison and walk away free. Not much incentive to not do this again and next time try harder not to get caught.

That's got to be a typo. The program itself started in 1935. So it's only 90 years old.

Some people were immediately eligible. The elderly and handicapped and widowed. Yes, a not-old woman who lost the breadwinner in her family, was eligible for Social Security automatically in those days.
