Elon Musk, the visionary former head of DOGE, amplified a brave citizen journalist’s exposé on rampant fraud in Minnesota’s Somali community under Tim Walz’s lax oversight. Young conservative Nick Shirley documented empty daycares and shell companies siphoning billions in taxpayer funds for housing, food, and vehicles. For context, most estimates place the total amount of fraud at $80-100 billion statewide, tied to scandals like Feeding Our Future. Building on this point, Musk declared that fraud in California, New York, and Illinois is far worse and estimated nationwide waste at ~10% of the federal budget. Starting the interaction, one of the...

Elon Musk and DOGE have now started their efforts to crack down on arguably the most hated agency in the entire country, causing liberals to lose it all over again. Reuters reported that Gavin Kliger, a key staffer working with Elon Musk in his efforts to downsize the federal government, entered IRS headquarters on Thursday to investigate the corrupt agency’s operations. Sources told Reuters that Kliger had been meeting with multiple senior executives at the agency to learn more. One can only imagine what nasty stuff Kliger and the rest of DOGE will discover. It’s a safe bet that documented...

Panic at the disco. Three weeks into Trump the Sequel’s executive order blitz, with technology industry legends standing at the president’s side, and figures throughout the government and media likening the newly-minted Department of Government Efficiency’s staff and budget cuts to the rise of fascism, there are two things everyone finally seems to agree on: the Deep State really does exist, and it really does run our country. Now we’re mostly just divided over the question of whether that’s a good thing, and a little shocked by what these people actually look like (yes, I’m about to be petty). As...

The clock struck 2 AM on Jan 21, 2025. In Treasury's basement, fluorescent lights hummed above four young coders. Their screens cast blue light across government-issue desks, illuminating energy drink cans and agency badges. As their algorithms crawled through decades of payment data, one number kept growing: $17 billion in redundant programs. And counting. "We're in," Akash Bobba messaged the team. "All of it." While career bureaucrats prepared orientation packets and welcome memos, DOGE's team was already deep inside the payment systems. No committees. No approvals. No red tape. Just four coders with unprecedented access and algorithms ready to run....

Did you catch this part? Elon said “I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.” Over $100 BILLION is being sent every year to people in America with no Social Security number This may be the biggest money laundering scandal since Ukraine, ActBlue, and all the other globalist scams This is why Democrats are freaking out - their DC gravy train was just exposed ... Elon Musk - To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly...

Luke Farritor, one of the few employees at Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, rose to fame in the tech world after solving a 2,000-year-old riddle that has stumped every historian and archaeologist so far - and he did it with the power of artificial intelligence. 'Wonderkids' in the technology world are certainly not a rare occurrence, as often the best and brightest begin honing their skills from an early age, but young 'genius' Luke Farritor separated himself from the rest by achieving something that many had wrestled with for over 2,000 years. For centuries historians and archaeologists had wrestled...

Over the past two weeks Elon Musk and his cadre of young computer geniuses have cracked the code. Over the past two weeks Elon Musk and his cadre of young computer geniuses have cracked the code. Like Toto pulling the curtain on the Wizard of Oz, they’ve pulled back the cover on government secrecy. They've shown how oceans of tax revenue have flowed through Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), charitable-sounding foundations, the UN, and others to fund terrorists, disrupters like BLM, and reporters to promote Democrats and censor the opposition, most often to enrich Democrat politicians and their friends, families, and allies....

Dutch garden may hold Musketeers' skeletons Wednesday, May 5, 2004 Posted: 2:18 PM EDT (1818 GMT) AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) -- Are the three musketeers and four swashbuckling chums buried under an unassuming Dutch garden in the town where legendary swordsman D'Artagnan was killed? Police plan to turn over an investigation into the discovery of the seven skeletons to archaeologists in the southern Dutch town of Maastricht, which has a history of battles going back to Roman times.
