You may have noticed the absolute meltdown of the left over the existence of Elon Musk and the DOGE team doing exactly what Donald Trump was elected to do. I phrased it that way because that’s exactly what is happening – someone is finally going through the government’s books and records to figure out what people do, how much it costs, where the rest of the money is going and whether or not we can live without it since we’re more than $36 trillion in debt. Why would anyone meltdown over that? There’s a very simple reason: Democrats cannot afford for the American people realizing

This is the Crime Of The Century. A corruption scandal so huge I don’t know if anyone even imagined it was so bad. Why isn’t the news reporting it for what it is?

Republicans should be starting the campaign ads now for the 2026 elections. Show Democrats waxing hysterically about "cuts hurting children", then a Morgan-Freemanoid voice saying "but they weren't helping children - they were putting on LGBT plays in India".

Why terrified? For the same reason, and in the same way as a burglar confronted by 2 dobermans. Zeus, Apollo, attack!

The author pointed out the following:
There are only two conclusions that can be drawn from that fact: either Democrats do not care – they put their political power ahead of what is in the best interest of the American people – or they benefit, financially or otherwise, from the inefficient and corrupt management of government.
To me both are true. USAID is the laundry, American tax $$$ are being laundered. Elon and company are finding the abuse. It's up to Congress to investigate the abuse.
I suspect there are Republican tentacles attached to the abuse as well.
Investigate each line item. Punish the abusers, regardless of Party.

USAID is only the beginning. Just wait until they get to the Pentagon. Hegseth is there to open the books wide and reveal all of the contractors, consultants and government officials who profit greatly from that behemoth. Halliburton, Lockheed, Raytheon, all of those old standby money pits that couldn't exist without mountains of taxpayer cash.

The Left is always redefining words. Thus when they enthusiastically tell us we need more of "this" they know we are thinking about more of "that", which we DO want more of.
When they say "Trump is a threat to democracy", they mean "democracy" as they envision it, with them in charge and the voters pushed aside. Such a government has nothing to do with democracy.
So when they say Trump is a threat to democracy, they mean themselves, which is correct because Trump wants to secure the Republic the founders have given us. There is no place for the dems in our Republic. They are right to be afraid.
For the rest of us, we are closer to our foundations than we have been in 100 years and that is a cause for great celebration.

President Trump has had some legal setbacks with DOGE, that being said the cat is out of the bag. I hope the first question is why did we only give the people in North Carolina 750 dollars when we gave 1.5 million for a trans opera in Columbia. The second and more important one is why did my republican congressman Steve Scalise and my 2 republican senators Kennedy and Cassidy sign off on this nonsense or at least bring it to my attention.

I hope Pam is up to the task. If no one goes to jail over all of this and what is yet to come, I give up on both parties.

We point the finger at democrats and rightfully so, but they could not have dont it for so long without the knowledge or even help of the Republicans. As far as I'm concerned they are just a protest vote so I wont have to vote for the democrat.

The leftist and progressive Democrats appear to be upset with what Musk and his crew are doing because they are bound to uncover huge amounts of Democrat perpetrated corruption, along with the dispatching of huge amounts of taxpayers money fraudulently to support domestic and foreign activities that are not in keeping with the desires of most American taxpayers and voters who elected Trump.

The only conclusion that makes complete sense of all the ridiculous spending plus pulling into this country as many third world illegal immigrants as possible is that Soros and Obama deliberately planned to bankrupt this nation they hate and turn it into another third world country. They needed pockets of third world communities scattered about every region and every Washington congress critter and bureaucrat willing to receive payouts. I’m so proud of the Musketeers.

Names, dates, the $ amount spent and the $ amount of the kickback and to whom. How many average people go to DC with stars in their eyes and then the big transformation happens. Those stars turn to $ dollar signs. The Deep State/The Woke/The Leeches and their minions (corruption personified) is like cancer in your lymphatic system. It isn't easy but it can be treated. Unfortunately the cancer has spread to virtually every institution. If there is nothing wrong with all these $ trillions being thrown around someone is going to have to explain it to me. I have watched enough Law & Order and gangster movies to understand money laundering.

This theft is the main reason we are $35+ trillion in debt. They must pay! There's a least one story about why the Pubs did nothing to stop the grift all these years. It's time for them to start talking.
