…Fraud
It takes commitment to defend whatever USAID was doing with our taxdollars, especially now that we know. The same can be said for the bufaoons at Treasury. Writing blank checks to whoever without a way to identify what it was for and which legislation authorized it. We had a way; they just chose to stop using it.
That’s not suspicious.
The EPA has an 80 billion dollar slush fund, created in the waning moments of the Bidenista regime, to launder money through a series of fronts to political friends and family.
The scope of the grift is more incredible than even the outrage emanating from the left. DOGE has a growing list of contracts (spending) it has identified, which the Trump administration then authorizes for the chopping block. It is very upfront and transparent. When mistakes are made, they appear to be corrected promptly—quite the opposite of the system they are auditing—the one that the political left has chosen to defend. It is not, after all, their money.
Take taxpayer-funded “subscriptions.” You likely heard about the one for Politco Pro, which offered top-dollar online access to a friendly media outlet. It turns out there was more than one—as in more than one for Politico, more than one “media outlet,” and more than one agency buying them.
Here’s a brief look at some recent subscriptions, canceled by DOGE, that you paid for.
- COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION Annual subscription to Politico Pro $255,863
- COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION FT.COM SUBSCRIPTION $188,073
- COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION RENEW ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION TO THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. $169,259
- COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSIONONLINE SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NEW YORK TIMES. $41,106
- COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION BLOOMBERG LAW SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL $194,759
- CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU POLITICO PRO $635,375
- CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU CQ ROLL CALL $299,250

- CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU WASHINGTON POST SUBSCRIPTION $127,398
And on it goes.
You should assume that every federal agency buys bulk subscriptions from Handmaiden media outlets at your expense, without a second thought. That and so much more are hidden in the fiscal digestive tract of a federal beast, which is 36 trillion in debt.
However, FEMA had no money to do the only thing it existed to do.
There are more egregious abuses, but the federal funding fanbase, led by the Democrat party, can’t seem to stop talking about Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. The welfare net. Sure, they are defending a lot of the other waste and abuse, but the three pillars of their public objection to DOGE are Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare.
DOGE and Trump are going to cut Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. That is the refrain, and there is some truth to it. DOGE and Trump want to cut Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare … Fraud.
Cutting Fraud will save money and could save Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Ending waste, fraud, and abuse in every agency will save money we could use to save Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare.
Keep that thought handy the next time a Democrat says the magic words. DOGE and Trump are going to cut Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Respond with, “You left out the word fraud. DOGE and Trump are going to cut Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare fraud.”
Then try to get them to insist there isn’t any.
