Still no accounting of how much they actually saved us. May be a drop in the bucket. But 99% of the corruption still continues.

And if you don’t prosecute the corrupt, it’ll continue in spades.

Prayers for Elon Musk. Despite his wealth, his standing on the world stage is fragile, his personal safety is fragile. And if the Left comes to power, everything is at risk including X. So, prayers.

I would say there are trillions going to places that should not get a dime. The American and world economy are held up by a huge amount of corruption. If we could stop half of it, we could balance the budget. But our economy would suffer as well. Parts of the waste is holding up many large sections of the economy. NGOs are out of hand. They are a huge waste of money. Almost every national charity is part scam. And most of the Universities are part scam. Almost all libraries and schools are part scam. My library taxes at a rate where I could buy 200 books a year for with tax money. The US is the most corrupt country in the world. Because we can just print money.

We’re depending on the chronically corrupt to prosecute the chronically corrupt.

Both sides are chock full of corrupt career politicians. The only hope is that the public sees it, and begins to punish those scumbags. That is to say, there is little or no hope.

DOGE under Musk was on the right track (you can tell by the daily screams and complaints from the Left which stopped immediately upon Musk’s departure) but fell short of the mark: ABOLISHING THE 80%+, $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal gov’t, THE GREATEST threat to our lives, liberties, and wellbeing, the abolishing of which will MAGA!!!

The ones who complained are the ones who are guilty. A bunch of damn grifters, stealing our tax dollars. Has anyone been arrested yet? If there has been arrests, I haven’t heard about them.

The only fix for government overspending is to cut their funds. Cut taxes 50% across the board and the government will be forced to prioritize.

None of the fraud he discovered was prosecuted by DOJ. Not one….

Talk about a thankless endeavor. I would be thoroughly embittered. In fact, his closing statement is grim:

So, I don't know, we're just going to turn into a, you know, communist hellhole, basically.

The DOGE Dance

USAID, Department of Ed, did you hear what Elon said?
Members of the Pentagon, your reckless spending days are gone.
FAA, NIH, time to end your overreach.
Treasury, CFPB, Elizabeth Warren weeps for thee.
You’re out of style. Out of loot. Donald Trump don’t give a hoot.
Robert, Pam, Peter, too,
Little Marco, we love you.
Patriots with an attitude,
Voters who are in the mood.
Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it.
Time for DOGE, there’s nothing to it.

In 2016, when President-elect Trump announced, "The party's over; I'm going to clean up Washington," the Corrupt Establishment saw this as a declaration of war against it.

Its lash-out was definitely big-time, including three assassination attempts that we know of.

Musk is right. If you attack corruption and corrupt politicians, they will lash out big time!

We've seen it in action!
