The Trump Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to uncover shameless misuse of our taxpayer dollars for insider payoffs and woke activism.
It really is stunning what our elected officials and unelected bureaucrats believe they have the right to spend our money on. Besides the Taliban condoms, European DEI musicals, and Iraqi muppets already exposed by DOGE, the new department led by Elon Musk has found yet more leftist nonsense and grift to cancel.
DOGE on Thursday revealed the following initiatives on which our money was set to be spent, but which fortunately have been shut down:
– $60M for “Indigenous Peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment”
– $74M for “inclusive justice” in Colombia
– $79M for “primary literacy” in Kenya
– $37M for “female empowerment” in Colombia
– $8M to “Reduce stigma, discrimination, and violence against LGBTQI+ communities” in Lesotho
– $3.3M for “being LGBTQI in the Caribbean”
– $25k to increase “Vegan Local Climate Action Innovation” in Zambia
Earlier this week, DOGE identified a substantial amount of cash going to the insidious World Economic Forum and the plan for you to “own nothing” and “have no privacy.” Other ridiculous initiatives also included “$69mm for the Eurasia Foundation to do ‘digital transformation activity’ in Europe.” Whatever the heck that means.
-$32mm to Internews for programs including “media enabling democracy, inclusion, and accountability in Moldova” and the promotion of “sustainable media outlets”
-$7mm for the American Bar Association to promote the “resilience” of the “Eurasian legal sector and civic society”
-$520mm for a consultant to do ESG investments in Africa and “mobilize private sector resources and expertise”
-$25mm to “promote biodiversity conservation and promote licit livelihoods” by developing “socially responsible” behaviors in Colombia
-$40mm to “improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants”
-$42mm for Johns Hopkins to research and drive “social and behavior change” in Uganda
-$45mm to “address [] the needs, opportunities, and challenges identified by activists and other civic actors engaged in nonviolent collective action”
-$52mm for the World Economic Forum
Nor is that all. DOGE is out to identify unused buildings on which millions of dollars are spent annually. It provided one sobering example of why reform is needed on Feb. 26. “A former ICE employee and Biden transition team member joined Family Endeavors in early 2021 and helped secure a sole-source HHS contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities,” DOGE explained.
