The Pentagon has just failed its sixth audit in as many years.
In early October, it was reported that the Pentagon was crying broke to Congress, now this.
Considering that the world is on fire under Biden, now would be a good time to have our Defense Department in order, but no such luck.
The Department of Defense (DOD) failed its sixth straight audit with little positive change from the year prior, despite pledges from Pentagon leaders to make improvements on the massive undertaking each year.
Auditors gave seven of the department’s 29 sub-agencies a clean audit in 2023, with no change from the 2022 audit, according to a Wednesday statement. Although it’s not a surprise that the DOD hasn’t yet been able to account for its $3.8 trillion enterprise and $4 trillion in liabilities, scattered across 50 states and 4,500 sites globally, DOD officials previously said they expected to see incremental improvement, Defense News reported.
“Auditing the Department’s $3.8 trillion in assets and $4.0 trillion in liabilities is a massive undertaking,” said Pentagon comptroller Michael McCord, “but the improvements and changes we are making every day as a result of these audits positively affect every soldier, sailor, airman, marine, guardian and DOD civilian...”

I’m sure it’ll turn up. Maybe on Zelensky’s super-yacht.
That’s okay they will just charge every guy being separated from the military fir all the equipment they were ordered to leave behind until the shortfall is made up.
Incorrect. Some know full well where the money went, while most don't. Corruption and ineptitude are having a party on the world's largest credit card, and will continue to stick the nation with the bill until a true political rebellion, fiscal collapse, or both will force re-calibration.
Trillions missing? Check the Dung Beetle Party’s accounts. That’s where it’s at. Thieving communist pigs.
When 10% is no longer enough for The Big Guy
Everybody says this is a “crazy conspiracy theory”—but everybody may be wrong:

Can you possibly give a quick recapitulation of the video? For some reason I cannot seem to access it.?.?
They should start looking for the missing money in Kiev.
And this is the last you’ll hear about it. Guaranteed.
This is why they wanted trump put. No wars means no money laundering.
The fact that we read a headline like this and there are no arrests or the smell of hot tar at the Pentagon tells you all you need to know about the deep state.
Lol private stuffy will be eviscerated over a missing canteen cover. General lard ass can loose 2 million dollars on a pallet in small unmarked bills with no consequence.
Nothing to get excited about - they are probably just building a new base on some moon somewhere. The Black World and its projects are expensive.
Ha!
We know where much of it is likely being funneled!
Leftist smear outlets!
Sure—they claim they were part of a secret space program run (mostly) by private corporations—and that is where the “missing money” from the past few decades has gone.
"REPORT: The Pentagon Just Failed its Sixth Straight Audit – Trillions of Dollars ‘Missing’"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Congress, especially the "power of the purse" House, is fully constitutionally responsible for the missing taxpayer trillions imo.
"Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time [emphasis added]."
So Democratic and Republican Trump-supporters need to remedy "Pentagon" taxpayer dollar mismanagement by primarying ALL House members, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company, Jordan (and others?) in 2024 since popularly elected representatives evidently do not take their constitutionally enumerated responsibilities seriously.
Incumbent senators up for reelection who voted to pass unconstitutional, unaccountable spending bills need to go too.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
Democrats [And RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
Finally, consider that probably the main reason that we hear political party and media complaints about the electoral college is that it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.
Interesting!
“I’m sure it’ll turn up. Maybe on Zelensky’s super-yacht.”
And don’t forget to check Biden’s pockets because he can NEVER GET ENOUGH MONEY THAT’S FOR SURE.
