DOGE is just getting started with its federal waste housecleaning project, and the funniest thing ever is that the media outlets carrying the progressive outrage water over it (like vitamin water but meaner) have been getting “paid” under the table to do just that.
Politico, the NYT, BBC, and others (it appears) are long-time beneficiaries of the laundromat. Fluff and Fold. Fluff and Fold. Nearly every lie the media propped up for the last eight years (probably a lot longer) was a paid advertisement for the Deep State agenda. Not a bad gig when they used to do it for free.
But the Internet changed the media landscape. People could choose which liars to believe (or not), and the professional liars in the Handmaiden media were in danger of being put out of business. Someone had to save them, and that someone was you; you just didn’t know it until the last two weeks.
NASA, who must have gotten distracted from its Obama Era Middle East Muslim Outreach mission, found a reason to spend 500,000 of your dollars on Politico Pro subscriptions (Treasury was funneling money to the NYT, if you care).
Without getting into the weeds, there’s a lot more of this, and the real contest isn’t how often and how much but how many and how absurd.
Hundreds of Millions of dollars in Gender and DEI contracts have been or are being canceled as some of the people the Democrats said should learn to code ran that code through the payment systems at USAID and Treasury and everywhere else as soon as they get to it; mapping out a complex, multi-tiered paper trail that has uncovered billions in hidden waste, fraud, or abuse in a just a few days.
And they’ve only just gotten started, and no one in the deep state establishment was prepared for it.
While media focused on campaign rallies and political theater, a quiet army was being assembled. In offices across DC, veteran strategists mapped the administrative state's pressure points. Think tanks developed action plans for every agency. Policy institutes trained rapid deployment teams. Former appointees shared battlefield intelligence from previous administrations' failures.
By Inauguration Day, over 1,000 pre-vetted personnel stood ready—each armed with clear objectives, mapped legal authorities, and direct lines to support networks. This wasn't just staffing; it was a battle plan decades in the making.
The net effect of this fiscal lightning warfare (Blitzkrieg for the people who think Trump is Hitler) is a high-speed ripping off of an enormous, very expensive band-aid to reveal the rot underneath it. Bureaucrats (and the Democrats who hid behind them while benefiting themselves or political “friends and family”) have been forced to defend expenses for Transgender opera in Peru or Condoms for Gaza (or do I have that backward) when there “wasn’t any FEMA money” to help people in the Storm-ravaged Carolinas or Florida, especially the ones with Trump signs in their yards.
DOGE continues its relentless mapping of the Federal fraud machines to the sound of high-pitched whining from Democrats who all (coincidentally) managed to get rich from public service. These Lefties are pretending that this digital invasion will somehow compromise privacy or national security. That’s a strange choice of arguments, given that under the Biden Administration, the Social Security Database was hacked, compromising 270 million social security numbers. The Bidenistas also get to wear the hacking of a federal employee database that compromised 4.2 million past and present government workers.
And if you forgot, the Chinese mirrored Hillary’s illegal server and got copies of everything that went through it, including secrets and stuff for which she remains un-incarcerated
I can’t recall if Sandy Cortez lost her shit over any of that or if Chuck Schumer or Maxine Watters went to the mattresses with whoever was running the Biden administration. Actually, I can. They didn’t. No calls for rebellion or violence. And while I’m not certain, I bet the solution to that problematic non-problem was probably something like a few hundred million to more NGOs that donate to Democratic campaigns.
Too bad that gravy train has been derailed, which is why they are all so pissed off. All those “NGOs” will have to find other revenue sources - hey, maybe they can learn to code too.
I wonder if USAID was involved in the ACT Blue scam, which funneled hundreds of billions to candidates of the Blue persuasion through millions of small-dollar transactions using the names of people who didn’t donate a dime themselves.
Wouldn’t that be a blast? Or maybe there’s a trail of dirty secrets architecture in some other agencies that has yet to be mapped - though I think the FEC is likely to run down the Act Blue culprits (once Trump gets rid of the current head who refuses to be fired), who are likely illegal foreign donors. Maybe he can fire her for that? That’s sweet revenge. And when or where does it end?
Musk said he’d need six months to find all the graft and report to his boss, Mr. Trump, who would then do whatever needed to be done himself or via Congress. That seemed optimistic last December, but not so much now. So much has been uncovered in less than three weeks I can’t imagine they don’t have a plan for pulling all the threads, as someone said, to unravel all the sweaters - in every Executive branch agency.
You knew there was waste, fraud, and abuse, but it’s as bad as you could possibly imagine and then a lot worse. Those sneaky f****** have been screwing you harder than you ever imagined, and it’s all coming out.
And America loves it while the media and Democrats scream about how Trump and DOGE are dismantling it.
Talk about a gift that keeps on giving.
Republicans should have stopped this sooner. We know the democrats wouldn't. We should all get a huge refund too!
