INSANE! Musk’s DOGE Discovers that $4.7 Trillion Vanished in Untraceable Payments

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has uncovered that the federal government cannot account for approximately $4.7 trillion of taxpayers’ money paid for unknown reasons. 

DOGE found that the tracking codes used to associate payments with budget line items were left blank, making it impossible to trace the payments.

“The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process),” DOGE explained on X.

“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible.”

DOGE noted that the TAS field, which allows account identification had since been made mandatory, increasing visibility into the payments.

Less than a month into Trump’s presidency, DOGE has exposed how trillions of taxpayers’ money was wasted on unnecessary projects overseas. They include $10 million for voluntary male medical circumcision in Mozambique, $32M to the Prague Civil Society Centre, $40M for “gender equality and women empowerment hub,” $486M to the “Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening,” and $14M for “social cohesion” in Mali.

A DOGE subcommittee hearing chaired by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) also uncovered approximately $2.7 trillion in erroneous or improper payments, including for projects whose authorization had expired. Over $700 billion was also lost due to inaccurate record keeping. 

Similarly, over $2.7 trillion went to Medicare and Medicaid payments overseas to people who should not have received the money. Musk also discovered over 25 million people between the ages of 100 and 369 years, almost certainly deceased, still receiving Social Security payments.

“According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the ‘death’ field set to FALSE. Maybe Twilight is real, and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security,” Musk X’ed.

Responding to Real America’s Voice White House correspondent Brian Glenn about the wasteful spending, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said “that is certainly fraud.” 

“There is also a lot of contracts they’ve identified that, just as a hypothetical example, are a million bucks been only $500,000 went out the door, so where’s the rest of that cash?” Leavitt noted.

Musk had warned that radical action was required because “America is going BANKRUPT from EXTREME levels of government spending.” The U.S. national debt interest payments had doubled in four years to reach a staggering $1.17 trillion under Biden, while the budget deficit also topped $1.8 trillion in 2024. Government debt also increased by $2.3 trillion to reach $35.7 trillion between 2023 and 2024.

Subsequently, Musk’s DOGE is looking for public input to uncover more wasteful spending and fraud and has set up over two dozen affiliates to oversee the process. 

“DOGE is looking for help from the general public! Please DM insight for reducing waste, fraud, and abuse, along with any helpful insights or awesome ideas, to the relevant DOGE affiliates (found on the Affiliates tab). For example, @DOGE_USDA, @DOGE_SSA, etc.”

Meanwhile, Musk is optimistic that he could cut the deficit by $1 trillion by 2026 by reducing wasteful spending by $4 billion per day. 

“I am cautiously optimistic that we will reach the $4B/day FY2026 reduction this weekend,” he X’ed.

“Least Paid” CNN Commentator Accuses the Network, Obama, and Biden of Racial Discrimination

CNN commentator Ashley Allison accused the network and former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden of racial and gender discrimination while defending Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Allison made the outlandish claim while debating Scott Jennings, who supported President Trump’s decision to scrap the policy.

Allison said that as a “black woman in this country,” she does “not have the same opportunity” as the other panelists.

“I do not have the same opportunity as you. I know I don’t. And you know that too,” Allison said.

“I’m not talking about how you feel. I’m talking about how I feel, me, a black woman in this country,” she continued after Jennings interrupted her.

She continued to list her qualifications, which she said include a law degree, a master’s, and two bachelor’s degrees – which she claimed is probably more than all the panelists combined.

“And I have always been the least-paid person on payroll at every institution I have worked in, and it’s not because…,” she dropped the bombshell.

One of the panelists sought clarification on whether even a Democratic White House paid her less than other employees for being a black woman.

“Even in the White House?” Asked the panelist.

“Even in the White House,” Allison confirmed.

The panelist also suggested that it was the Left’s problem as she did not work for Republicans when the alleged racial discrimination occurred.

“Whose fault is that?” he asked. “I don’t think you worked for George W. or Trump.”

Allison worked for Obama as a senior policy advisor and the Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, managing associate directors who worked with leaders in the African American community and other groups, such as LGBTQ+.

She also worked for the Biden-Harris campaign in 2020, which, according to her statement, must also have underpaid her based on her race and gender.

Ironically, she also inadvertently accused CNN of racial discrimination by stating that she did not have the same opportunity as other panelists. Similarly, claiming that she has always been the least paid in every institution she has worked for, suggests that even CNN was underpaying her.

Either she was lying, or Democrats have actually racially discriminated against her, with the former being the most likely. Her credibility took a nosedive when she claimed that DEI did not exist when she worked at the White House between 2014 and 2017, while Obama had already introduced it in August 2011 under Executive Order 13583. It is also unfathomable that someone employed to fight discrimination would herself be subjected to it. 

While Allison’s racial discrimination claims at CNN and the White House are hard to believe, the policy she defends perpetuates racial discrimination.

In 2023, the Supreme Court ruled against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina’s race-based college admissions practices. The court stated that the practices violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection clause.

According to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), “DEI policies are nothing more than state-sanctioned racial discrimination.”

Sec. Marco Rubio Declares Himself the “Acting Director” of the Beleaguered USAID

Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has announced taking over the beleaguered United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as its “Acting Director.” 

USAID has earned a top spot as one of the worst agencies the Trump administration must address, angering Democrats and career bureaucrats. 

Sec. Rubio made the announcement while on a diplomatic trip to El Salvador. The Central American nation has agreed to take the most notorious U.S.-born criminals and illegal immigrants from other countries. Rubio accused USAID of refusing to coordinate its activities with U.S. Embassies abroad or the State Department, claiming it was independent and its employees “answer to no one.” 

“They are supposed to take direction from the State Department, policy direction. They do not. Not only do they not take policy direction, they’re completely uncooperative.”

Rubio added that the agency refuses to answer important questions about who receives funding, what the program does, and who its contractors are. Trump has accused USAID of massive fraud.

“They went totally crazy, what they were doing and the money they were giving to people that shouldn’t be getting it and to agencies and others that shouldn’t be getting it, it was a shame, so a tremendous fraud,” Trump said.

“We will no longer allow it,” Rubio asserted.

According to Rubio, USAID also carries programs that contradict U.S. foreign policy objectives in the host country and the region and designates itself as an international charitable organization. “I’m the Acting Director of USAID,” Rubio stated, adding that he delegated his functions to somebody else.

USAID’s woes started when Trump announced a funding cut for the agency that diverts taxpayers’ money to foreign governments for projects that are allegedly unaligned to the country’s national interests or foreign policy.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently disclosed some of USAID’s wasteful expenditures using our tax dollars. 

“If you take a look at the waste and abuse that has run through USAID over the past several years, these are some of the insane priorities that that organization has been spending money on,” Sec. Leavitt stated.

“I don’t know about you, but as an American taxpayer, I don’t want my dollars going toward this crap, and I know the American people don’t either, and that’s exactly what Elon Musk has been tasked by President Trump to do.”

They included $1.5 million for DEI in Serbia, $70,000 for a DEI musical concert in Ireland, $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia, and $32,000 for a transgender book in Peru. Other suspicious expenditures include $50 million to buy condoms for Gaza.

Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency also recently saved $228,730,692 after canceling 7 DEI contracts associated with the agency. Two of USAID’s top officials were also sent on administrative leave after denying DOGE employees access to unclassified documents stored in a building that ironically requires security clearances. 

Musk even threatened to involve the US Marshals Service if USAID continued to deny DOGE employees access to the unclassified documents. Shortly after the incident, acting DC attorney ED Martin wrote to Musk regarding allegations that DOGE employees have been threatened after their identities were disclosed to the media. 

Meanwhile, Musk says he totally agrees with Trump that USAID should be shut down. However, Rubio stated that some USAID functions will continue but in full compliance with the U.S. foreign policy and national interests.

Nonetheless, Musk is not so subtle about putting USAID to sleep. 

“Spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper,” Musk posted on X.

Trump also agrees that USAID’s shutdown “should have been done a long time ago.” Interestingly, the agency’s website was taken offline, and its servers were allegedly carted away pending further investigation.

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to protest the USAID funding cut. Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy said burying USAID was unconstitutional, while Jamie Raskin said Elon Musk should not be the “fourth branch of government.”

Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who participated in USAID protests, said cutting funding would endanger “Americans around the world.”

Illinois Democrats Allow Criminal Illegal Aliens to Change Names to Evade ICE Deportations

Democrats in Illinois are allowing illegal immigrants, including those who have committed horrific crimes, to change their names to avoid deportation and remain within the state. 

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who vowed to fight for illegal immigrants, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker are also blocking ICE agents from accessing prisons to detain some of the most vile illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes, including drug offenses, gang affiliation, prostitution, human trafficking, and child sex crimes.

The Trump administration has categorically stated that it was primarily focusing on national security threats and the most dangerous illegal immigrants. However, Democrats in Illinois are preventing those people from being deported. About 300 illegal aliens with ICE detainer requests are in Chicago. 

These are not the “farm produce pickers” that Democrats have been talking about, but people wanted for various crimes that the Trump administration wants out of the country.

Recently, the Illinois legislature passed HB 5164, allowing anybody who has resided in the state for three months to change their name. Previously, it required the name change applicant to have resided in the state for at least six months.

However, that is not the most concerning detail, as the law also allows even the most dangerous criminal illegal aliens to change their names. Both chambers approved the measure, which was sent to Gov. Pritzker’s desk for signing last week. 

While proponents of the law claim it would help victims of domestic abuse and, of course, transgender individuals to feel safer, it did not exempt criminal illegal aliens with a history of violent crimes.

“There are residents in our state who do not feel safe when they are an adoptee; they’re transgender; they’re an immigrant; they’re a survivor of domestic violence, survivor of sexual exploitation and human trafficking,” Democrat State Senator Ram Villivalam, the sponsor of the bill, said. 

“So they would like to change their name, and in doing so, we need to remove as many barriers as we can to ensure their health and safety.”

However, allowing illegal immigrants to change their names will effectively enable them to evade ICE raids, as the name change may not have propagated through all systems when the immigration officers descend on the correctional facilities.

“Is this creating a loophole for people who are here, who are criminals and part of things involved in the trafficking, involved in all of these nefarious activities that we’ve been reading about?” GOP State Senator Sue Rezin asked.

According to State Senator Andrew Chesney, the passage of the law allows “illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes” to “simply change their names, making it difficult for law enforcement or immigration officials to track them down.”

However, Democrats continue to pat themselves on the back by claiming that the law allows people who feel unsafe to feel more secure.

“As people continue to feel the hate, feel the discrimination, get targeted, we need to continue to take these steps to make sure they feel healthy and safe,” said Villivalam.

The name change petitioners were also slapped with a lenient maximum fee of $25. The court can also waive the charge “for good cause shown,” allowing the law to be abused.

It also exempts the petitioners from publicly disclosing the name change, meaning most people would not know about it. It also allows name changers to exclude their home addresses, making them totally untraceable.

Disney’s Snow White Trailer Bombs Badly

“This is our kingdom, and we’re here to take it back.”

Imagine the oral equivalent of just plonking that line there like it sits at the beginning of this article. That’s how actress Rachel Zegler delivered it in the upcoming Disney live-action version of Snow White. Flat, emotionless, and with a blank look on her face as she stood before the Wicked Queen, flanked by a pseudo-medieval crowd of bored peasants with pitchforks but no motivation. And like the rest of her youthful generation, Zegler looked as if she expected the Queen to applaud her mediocre girl-bossery. Or at least to give her an E for effort. 

That’s probably why the trailer for this grisly piece of cinema is getting such a drubbing. Out for two weeks on Youtube, the trailer has 6 million views and only 31,000 “likes” – compared to 777,000 who “disliked” the video (you need to download a plugin to view the dislike count because here in America, YouTube disabled them to stop people form hurting video makers’ feelings.

A different trailer for the movie released four months ago racked up 100k likes, to 1.4 million dislikes.

Maybe it’s the obviously digital woodland creatures, or the video-game-tier dwarves’ cottage. Maybe it’s the feminist-inflected changes to the storyline that excised the rescuing prince and put Snow White in the captain’s chair to #TakeBackOurKingdom from her bitch stepmother. It’s probably all of those things, but it’s also definitely Rachel Zegler and Disney. The woman has been wearing out her welcome before there was even enough footage to make a demo reel. Remember her I-am-girl-boss-hear-me-roar moment talking to the press about how this wasn’t going to be a patriarchal fairy tale where some dumb MAN had to rescue the princess

Turns out movie fans don’t like having their memories of classic movies mocked, and they don’t appreciate narcissistic actresses implying that they are stupid and bigoted for liking what they like. 

Will any of this sink in for Disney, Zegler, or any of the other woke actors and actresses trying in vain to build a career on insulting the public’s taste? Probably not. Egotistical people are not known for insight and honest self-reflection. 

But in the meantime, the mockery is pretty glorious. Check out what people had to say in the YouTube comments:

Smug Anti-Trump Former CNN Commentator Ironically Debunked by CNN’s Own Reporting

This story is like that once popular saying, “how it started; how it’s going.”

Ex-CNN Hack Marc Lamont Hill is your typical leftist academic and media commentator. He teaches “urban education” at the City University of New York (CUNY), whatever that means.

Like fellow academic leftists, Hill is very keen for you to know that he is a DOCTOR. Not the kind the stewardess means when she gets on the plane’s intercom to ask for help; we’re talking about the “I have a PhD” kind of doctor. His website displays Dr. Marc Lamont Hill-Journalist/Scholar/Author/Activist. A renaissance man, in other words. 

There is not a Democrat or leftist policy Hill does not like, and there isn’t a right wing or Republican policy position he will endorse. The Democrats should be grateful to have him in their court, as you can’t buy the kind of loyalty Hill gives to Kam Kam Harris’ joyful campaign for president. 

As the Harris campaign tries to sell the country’s least popular vice president in history as the solution to what ails America (even though she’s been in office co-ailing the country with Biden these four years), critics are pointing out her extreme and radical policies. It’s one thing to lean to the left, but we’re talking about something much bigger. 

Take Harris’ position on whether the U.S. government should pay for so-called “gender transition” surgeries for illegal aliens stuck in prison. Yes, you read that right. During his first debate with Harris on ABC on September 10, Donald Trump claimed that’s exactly what Harris wants—to take taxpayer dollars to do Frankenstein sex-swaps on illegal border jumpers who land themselves in prison. (As an aside, it’s astonishing to even contemplate an illegal alien in a U.S. prison since border-jumpers seem to be above the laws governing ordinary mortal Americans who were born here.)

Marc Lamont Hill just cannot believe how crazy—crazy, we tell you!—Donald Trump must be to make such a bizarre claim. 

Mr. Hill, you may want to take your complaint up with Kam Kam, because Trump was telling the truth. Yes, Virginia, Kamala Harris really does want taxpayer money to do sex-changes on Jose from El Salvador. 

Price’s linked to the following article, ironically from CNN (posted below) confirming it. It seems unlikely that the rabidly pro-Democrat network would get this one wrong; it must have pained them to have to admit that Cacklin’ Kamala really is that much of a moonbat. 

CNN’s Erin Burnett was visibly shocked on air to learn that Harris did in fact support this.

“She actually said she supported that?” Burnett asked CNN colleague and the author of the above article Andrew Kaczynski (no relation to the other Kaczynski) when he explained her support for “taxpayer-funded gender care and transition surgeries for detained migrants.” Kaczynski confirmed that this was true – and that she supported it for federal prisoners too.

Never fear, X is here! Social media users were johnny on the spot to help Mr. Hill out. One might even say they were helping him to “educate himself.”

Kamrade Kamala To Bring Joy to America’s Housing Market

Vice President Kamala Harris was once recognized by everyone as the most liberal Senator of all. The liberal site Govtrack itself recognized this, until it changed its ranking system, likely to remove the “stigma” from Harris. The site has a snotty aside about how dumb “right wing media” are trying to make their action look nefarious. 

Psst: Govtrack—we don’t believe you. It’s you who make yourselves look nefarious. 

Now in 2024, Kam-Kam has been elevated to the status of secular Democratic saint, even though she was plopped in as the Democrats’ nominee when senile Joe Biden decided to drop out of the race. She came in dead last in the 2019 Democratic primaries causing her to drop out of the 2020 race, and she has managed to become the Dems’ nominee without having to face a single challenger in a primary or earn even one Democrat vote. 

It is no surprise, then, that Kamala Harris feels bold and confident about her socialist, anti-freedom agenda. She’s like a clone of Biden, but even more radical. It was Biden’s Centers for Disease Control that took the unprecedented and highly unconstitutional step of effectively nationalizing the private landlord-tenant rental market during the pandemic. Remember when the CDC decided that it had the right to force landlords to continue housing tenants no matter what, even if they didn’t pay the rent, because evicting them would create a “public health” problem?

It was a move few of us ever thought could happen in America, but it did, and a cultural and legal precedent was set that we are going to continue to pay for. 

Now, Harris is telling the world exactly what she’s going to do to put the screws to landlords and the entire housing market:

That’s right. Kamala believes she has the right to set prices on rents, and that she gets to decide what an “unfair” rent raise might be. As long as you frame it as Bad Corporations against Good Working Families, disastrous rent control policies that always kill the housing market will suddenly become good things, right? 

Opposition to rent control is practically universal among economists. When the University of Chicago polled the nation’s top economists on their opinions of it, only a whopping 1% of economists favored rent control once answers were weighted for confidence.

Or as even the liberal Washington Post puts it in a headline; “The one issue every economist can agree is bad: Rent control.”

Let’s see what the internet has to say, and why not start at the top? 

Uh-oh! Literal-minded liberals are having big trouble with understanding memes and humor again. 

Ah, Kamrade Harris is looking revolutionary today!

Yes, they are, Chuck.

Cat-eating Haitians in Small Town America, Courtesy of Joe Biden

The town of Springfield, Illinois, has been inundated with so many “immigrants” from Haiti in recent years the population has swelled by one third. Haiti is, of course, a third-world country and a failed state. Successive corrupt governments and lack of infrastructure and education mean that Haitians live a hardscrabble life, and the kinds of values one develops living hand to mouth don’t fit in well with those you find in ordinary American midwestern towns. 

The U.S. has granted Haitians a special protected status that lets them stay in the U.S. because conditions in their country are so poor. But there is no such special protected status for American citizens who say their communities simply cannot absorb (in this case, 20,000 Haitians poured into Springfield, a town of 60,000) that many foreigners without life breaking down. 

Now, the fight is on between people in Springfield and the Democrats and the media. Some in Springfield are claiming that some of the Haitians are killing and eating house cats as well as decapitating ducks at city parks to take home and eat. There’s a video circulating that purports to show a Haitian woman being arrested after killing and eating a cat. There’s another video of a local man complaining to city government that the Haitians are going down to parks and killing ducks for food. 

So, we have actual residents on camera telling public officials this is going on, but media from the New York Times on down to the local level is all pretending that it’s not real. They’re coming right out and saying it, calling these claims “racist,” or suggesting that it’s just something cooked up by right wingers and capitalized on by Donald Trump

But regardless of whether the claims about cats and ducks are true, Springfield really has been overrun by third-world refugees. Why? Author John LeFevre discussed this on Twitter/X:

Figures, doesn’t it? I’m sure we’ll be told soon by some Paper of Record that these 320,000 people don’t actually exist, and if they do, anyway, it’s a good thing. 

Here’s what Twitter/X users had to say in response:

This one has a good point:

This is what burns so many people up; their own government paid for by local tax dollars is on the side of foreigners, and makes sure to do PR for them by calling them “legal.”

Yep, it looks this way:

California’s Governor Goodhair Vetoes Bill to Give Tax Money to Illegals

You’re going to have a hard time believing this, but woke Democrat governor of California, Gavin Newsom, actually said no to a bill that would have given illegal aliens free down-payment money to buy a home in the U.S. 

The bill, AB 1840, was called the “California Dream For All” bill. It would have given taxpayer money to illegal aliens to use for a downpayment on a house. You read that right. A bill to give away your money as an American citizen to illegal border jumpers worked its way through both chambers of the California legislature and made it all the way to the governor’s desk. We are living in an era where politicians can publicly advocate stealing money from U.S. citizens to give to criminals who waltz into our country illegally. 

This should be no surprise, really, as it’s become clear that the Democrats hate American citizens and believe we are cash cows for third-world vagrants. Especially the “unhoused.” 

AB 1840 was generous, too, promising the aliens 20 percent of their dream home’s value up to $150,000. And if you live in California, you would be buying their home for them. Aren’t you nice? 

We’re scratching our heads over why Gavin Newsom, who has been likened to the psychopathic character Patrick Bateman from the movie American Psycho, would suddenly have felt a fiduciary duty to his own citizens above the desires of illegal foreigners. After all, Newsom signed a bill recently to give Medicaid (again, you pay for this with your tax dollars) to all illegal immigrants in the Golden State. 

But on AB 1840, he is signing a different tune. While he certainly did not come out and admit that it’s gallingly unfair to take tax dollars from U.S. citizens to give houses to criminal illegals, he did say he could not sign the bill because of the “finite funding” for housing in California. 

Users on X (Twitter) had their own theories about Newsom’s motivation. 

We suspect Jewels here is right; Newsom is likely positioning himself for a future presidential run. 

What do you think explains Governor Goodhair’s change of heart?

70% of “Migrants” Under Biden Came Illegally

The Biden administration is pathologically incapable of telling the truth about the “migrant” crisis at the U.S. border. They seem to pick responses at random, including:

  • There is no migrant crisis
  • Well maybe there is but it’s Trump’s fault
  • Yeah there are lots of migrants but it’s actually a good thing

They can’t even accept the reality of the job they gave to Vice President Kamala Harris, who Joe Biden put in charge of figuring out the “root problem” propelling so many foreign nationals to jump over the very lightly guarded U.S.-Mexico border. The Democrats and the mainstream media (to be redundant) dedicated almost a week of the news cycle to shrieking about how “border czar” was not Harris’ official job title, as if that mattered. (Watch below for just a few examples)

Even the words the administration uses—sadly, conservatives have adopted this language, too—is dishonest. Have you noticed that over the past year, the terms “illegal alien,” and “undocumented immigrant” have disappeared? We’re now all supposed to call them all “migrants,” as if the millions of aggressive military-aged young men pouring into America (breaking the law) were simply jolly travelers with a knapsack on a stick coming to the Hard Rock Candy Mountain. 

Never mind the 4,000 Venezuelan “migrants” who trashed a Target parking lot in Colorado last week and fired guns into the air in what the Aurora police tepidly called a “gathering.”

The Wall Street Journal has put together a chart using data from the Congressional Budget Office showing that more than 70 percent of the “migrants” who entered the country under Joe Biden did so illegally. 

Unsurprisingly, X/Twitter users on that thread were not happy with the situation. 

“Bourbon Moon” asks a question we’d like to know the answer to; Democrats seem to have a death wish. 

Tamas asks another, and we suspect we’re never going to be told the truth about this. 

Well, yes. 

Readers, what do you think the total number of illegals is under Biden? And do you think we’ll ever be able to trust the numbers from any government?
