Good day all. It\u2019s becoming harder and harder to keep up with everything that the Trump Administration, Elon Musk and DOGE are doing. Lord knows, the Democrats and the Legacy Media, aka the Democrat Propaganda Corps, are way behind the curve.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Since the first audits, which resulted in President Trump killing the USAID, the DOGE team have racked up billions in recovered funds and potentially trillions in identifying waste and fraud in the agencies they\u2019ve already accessed. Now they\u2019ve found another $1.9 Billion so far at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner announced a new Department of Government Efficiency<\/a> task force on Thursday to “eliminate waste, fraud and abuse” at his federal agency. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With all due respect Secretary Turner, HUD has never been anything but a center of waste, fraud and abuse. It\u2019s another department that shouldn\u2019t even exist and should be shut down with the Department of Education.<\/p>\n

DOGE revealed that $1.9 billion in HUD money had been recovered as of Friday, saying the funds were misplaced during the Biden administration and were “earmarked for the administration of financial services, but were no longer needed.”\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

DOGE said it worked with Turner to release the funds, and they are now available for use by the U.S. Department of Treasury.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

I call that a good start. How about returning the entire HUD budget to the treasury and closing down the department?<\/p>\n

“HUD will be detailed and deliberate about every dollar spent to serve rural, tribal and urban communities. Thanks to President Trump\u2019s leadership, we are no longer in a business-as-usual posture, and the DOGE task force will play a critical role in helping to identify and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse and ultimately better serve the American people,” Turner said.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is what is driving the Democrats and the Deep State absolutely batshit crazy. For decades, they\u2019ve had control of the various bureaucracies through lower level civil service bureaucrats and managers. It didn\u2019t matter if the Republicans had control of the White House or even both houses of congress. Very few of them had a business mindset, or the will to do what President Trump is now doing. This is why you are seeing all the Congressional Democrats ranting and raving. Their slush funds are being shut down and in many cases, the money already sent out is being clawed back.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As Elon Musk<\/a> and DOGE comb their way through the federal bureaucracy, some agencies are conducting their own investigations to meet DOGE halfway.\u00a0<\/b>Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin<\/a> announced on Thursday he had canceled a $50 million environmental justice grant.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

“I canceled a $50 million grant to an organization called the Climate Justice Alliance. They say that climate justice runs through a free Palestine. I think that the American taxpayer wouldn’t want $50 million going to this left-wing advocacy group. It\u2019s canceled,” Zeldin said.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

The EPA is another agency that needs to either be shut down or seriously restructured. That agency is populated primarily by Environmental \u201cTrue Believers\u201d as well as Communists who\u2019s goal is to reduce the United States, excluding the \u201cRuling Elites\u201d to below 4th<\/sup> world status. They have no problem flat out depopulating most of the United States.<\/p>\n

They have been working to wreck food production, energy production and manufacturing through over the top regulations and sending millions of dollars out to like minded lawyers to sue anyone who doesn\u2019t toe the Church of Climate Change and Global Warming line.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has also committed to cooperating with DOGE to cut wasteful spending at the Department of Defense.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

“We will partner with them. It’s long overdue. The Defense Department’s got a huge budget, but it needs to be responsible,” Hegseth told Fox News.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

The amount of waste and duplication in the Pentagon budget probably amounts to 30% of their spending. There is also the issue of how Congress has screwed up the military\u2019s procurement process. Finally, way to many flag officers have been using the military\u2019s funding and contracting processes to secure positions with defense contractors after they retire. However, we need to be very careful in how we clean up defense spending. We do need to spend money on actual requirements, like troops, beans, bullets, guns and other things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another major DOGE target is the Social Security Administration. Recently, news came out that the SSA commissioner, Michelle King, resigned over DOGE\u2019s access and that Leland Dudek, who has led Social Security’s anti-fraud office, was named as the acting commissioner. However, there appears to be more to this then the legacy MSM is reporting.<\/p>\n

It seems that Mr. Dudek offered DOGE data to help them do their jobs. King suspended him with the plan to fire him for doing so. The reports I\u2019ve seen is that President Trump found out about this and told King to resign or be fired and when she left, he called back Mr. Dudek and gave him her job. There is a lot more to that story and, time permitting, I\u2019ll dig into it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw something that Elon Musk thinks that they\u2019ve found only about one percent of the fraud and waste that\u2019s out there. If current trends continue, it\u2019s not beyond the realm of possibility that upwards of half the Federal Budget is either being wasted or stolen. With regards to the fraud they\u2019ve found, it\u2019s now time to bring in the DoJ and start following the money and see where it ended up. That\u2019s when the real fun begins.<\/p>\n
