The US Treasury Spent HOW MUCH Illegally? Now You Know Why the Left Wants to Stop DOGE.

Congress illegally spent at least $516 billion in 2024 on programs for which there was no authorization. Yes, billion, with a “b.”  A stunning report by the Congressional Budget Office underscores the reason for the legal assault upon President Trump’s right to audit payments by the Treasury Department.

In a report titled “Expired and Expiring Authorizations of Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024,” the CBO observes: “Historically, House and Senate rules restrict lawmakers from considering an appropriation if it lacks a current authorization.” Nevertheless, “CBO estimates that $516 billion was appropriated for 2024 for activities with expired authorizations, which the agency identified for each House and Senate authorizing committee and appropriations subcommittee.” That $516 billion in illegal payments cover “1,264 authorizations of appropriations that expired before the beginning of fiscal year 2024 and 251 authorizations of appropriations that were set to expire by the end of fiscal year 2024.” The legal authority for some of these payments expired 40 — that’s not a typo — years ago.

This data reveals a couple of things. First, Congress has established a shadow funding stream for pet projects of either the institution or of senior members that allows money to be shoveled into a porkulus spending bill under the guise of preventing a government shutdown. The money is paid even though there is no legal authority for the disbursement. This is what, among lesser beings, would be called embezzlement, but no word exists to describe the activity on this scale. Where embezzlement gets the plebians a stiff jail term, it gets members of Congress reelected and seats on corporate boards. 

Making this all the more intriguing is that it would seem that the President could stop those payments without worrying about violating the Impoundment Control Act as they are not legal appropriations by Congress’s rules.

Dems flirt with government shutdown threat despite past furor over spending cliff

Democratic lawmakers are fueling concerns of a partial government shutdown, warning they may withhold support for any plan in protest of President Donald Trump‘s shakeup of the federal government. 

Left-wing leaders who have warned of the catastrophic consequences of government shutdowns in the past are now publicly signaling it could be a possibility – and they are already positioning to blame Republicans.

“What leverage do we have? Republicans have repeatedly lectured America, they control the House, the Senate and the presidency. It’s their government,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., told reporters when asked about what concessions he would seek in exchange for Democratic help to avert a partial shutdown. “We are in the governing season, and so we’re ready to work together on any issue. But I’m also confused about the leverage that we allegedly have in the face of such an overwhelming mandate that was given to Republicans by the American people, according to them.”

“Elon Musk, Where Are You? Bring Your Ass Over Here! …He’s a Thief! He’s a Gangsta!” – Mad Maxine Goes After Elon Musk in Slander-Filled Rant

Mad Maxine went on a rant today attacking Elon Musk on Monday with her Democrat friends from Congress in front of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Trump recently fired the CFPB Chief, a Biden holdover.

OMB Director Russ Vought said the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will be closed all week and told employees to stay home.

“Pursuant to the Consumer Financial Protection Act, I have notified the Federal Reserve that CFPB will not be taking its next draw of unappropriated funding because it is not “reasonably necessary” to carry out its duties. The Bureau’s current balance of $711.6 million is in fact excessive in the current fiscal environment. This spigot, long contributing to CFPB’s unaccountability, is now being turned off,” OMB Director Russ Vought said.

Protests erupted on Monday in front of the CFPB headquarters.

The crowd looked a bit small today. Maybe that USAID money did not come in to pay the extra protesters?

Democrats are very upset that President Trump, Elon Musk, DOGE, and Republicans are saving Americans tens of billions of taxpayer dollars.

Mad Maxine went on a particularly slanderous rant accusing Elon Musk of being a “thief” and a “gangsta.”

CONFIRMED: Former DNC Donor/Fundraiser Says Joe Biden’s Presidency ‘Was for Sure Obama’s Third Term’ 

Former DNC donor and fundraiser Lindi Li has been in the news repeatedly since the 2024 election. She is one of the loudest voices calling out the Democrat party and the Kamala Harris campaign for blowing through more than a billion dollars and losing, with no accountability on how the money was spent.

She recently appeared on the Shawn Ryan podcast and when Ryan asked her who was running the government for the last four years, she said it was Obama’s third term, confirming what many other people have suggested.

She then went on to name people in Biden’s inner circle, such as Anita Dunn, Ron Klain and others.

BizPacReview has details:

Commentator and former campaign advisor Lindy Li spoke on the “Shawn Ryan Show” about who was really in charge during President Joe Biden’s run at the White House and dished on Kamala Harris’s campaign for president.

“A lot of people say it was Obama’s third term. There’s rumors of… And these aren’t even… These are friends of mine that are moderate Democrats, say that they thought it was Elizabeth Warren running it. They thought it was Bernie Sanders running it,” host Shawn Ryan said. “But I think the general consensus, I think if you asked the majority of the population, they think it was Obama’s third term.”

“It was for sure Obama’s third term. I don’t think that’s even a question,” Li replied.

“That’s why you saw Obama fighting for his dear life. Why was he fighting so hard in the fall? Because he was fighting for his fourth term. He was fighting for his own legacy,” she continued, comparing the relationship between Obama and Biden to that between Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy.

Ohio Democrats Replicate Mississippi Lawmaker’s ‘Contraception Begins at Erection Act’ Criminalizing Casual Sex and Masturbation

A bill put forward by two Ohio Democrats is essentially seeking to outlaw masturbation and casual sex.

State Reps. Anita Somani and Tristan Rader this week put forward the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act” in their legislature.

The bill mirrors legislation recently put forward by Mississippi State Sen. Bradford Blackmon under the same name.

Under the terms of the act, men would be prohibited from masturbating or engaging in sexual activity when there is no “intent to fertilize an embryo.”

In a video posted to BlueSky, the pair argued that such legislation was only fair because Republicans have sought to restrict the murder of unborn children.

“If this legislature is so dedicated to regulating women’s bodies and their access to contraceptives and abortion care then let’s start policing men in the same way. After all, it does take two to tango, right?”

“Our bill would make it illegal to discharge semen or genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo,” she continued.

“If you find the language [in the bill] to be absurd, then maybe you should find any bill attempting to restrict reproductive freedoms absurd as well,” Rader added.

USAID Helped Dems Steal 2020 Election by Funding Wuhan Lab That Created COVID, the Ultimate Excuse for Illegal Election Tampering

As the U.S. Agency for International Development comes under scrutiny for what it’s been spending your money on — something it hasn’t been very forthcoming about before President Donald Trump’s administration made it one of the first targets of its Department of Government Efficiency downsizing initiative — the agency has come under fire for a whole lot of largesse that supported progressive, Democrat causes.

From the small but inexplicable ($32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru) to the larger and more problematic (funding a supposedly independent journalistic non-profit referenced by a CIA analyst whistleblower responsible for catalyzing the first Trump impeachment as a reason to suspect the president of wrongdoing), USAID has had its fingers in plenty of pies it shouldn’t have.

However, what if I told you that USAID played a part in the catastrophic pandemic that helped the Democrats dramatically (and illegally) overhaul election laws — and thus, it could be said, helped steal the 2020 election for Joe Biden?

I know, I know: I sound a bit like a slightly unbalanced Morpheus handing Neo the red pill. Breadcrumb it all back, however, and it begins to make a lot more sense than you’d think.

On Jan. 25, the Central Intelligence Agency announced that it believed the COVID-19 virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. While they asserted this with “low confidence,” according to The Wall Street Journal, it was a major shift for an agency that had long refused to take a position in the matter, particularly when most U.S. intelligence agencies favored a natural origin.

The CIA now believes, however, “that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin based on the available body of reporting.”

This comes as a surprise to virtually no one with a functioning brain. The virus most closely related to SARS-CoV-2 was not found naturally near Wuhan, nor was any original host animal found, nor were any bats — the source of that family of coronaviruses — ever found being sold at the wet market supposedly responsible for the outbreak.

There was, meanwhile, an institute of virology hundreds of meters from where the outbreak began. There were numerous safety issues documented there and public evidence of a mishap there in October of 2019, around the time when scientists believe the virus would have begun to spread.

While this can’t be said to be dispositive for a lab leak, the balance of the evidence is pretty clear — and despite their best efforts, even the Chinese Communist Party can’t come up with a plausible theory regarding animal-to-human transfer five years in.

To make matters worse, the research being done at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was — despite Anthony Fauci’s verbal prestidigitations in denying it — so-called “gain of function” research, which is to say it took viruses (in this case, bat coronaviruses), and looked at ways they could become more transmissible or deadly.

This was done at a research facility where, again, security concerns existed going as far back as 2009. (No, I’m not missing a one somewhere in that number.)

Hysterical Harpies Hollering About Elon Musk’s Access to Government Docs Should Make You Laugh

The man who brought you Tesla, StarLink, SpaceX, Neuralink, X.com, and other norm-breaking companies is now the target of screeching, hysterical harpies hyping the Democrat narrative that Elon Musk has no right to put eyes on any government documents. Sure, ladies, sure. Head pat. 

They accuse Elon Musk of “hacking” government documents. They accuse him of stealing your social security number from the IRS. Indeed, the world’s richest man is “getting access to the sensitive federal payment system!” Musk, who’s working for free to save the government money, is going to steal your money! “Elon Musk is rooting around highly sensitive data, and he might not even have been properly vetted,” they fretted.

And he’s unelected to boot. 

I can understand that an unelected bureaucrat’s finger in the government pie might be worrisome. I worried a lot when the elected Barack Obama put organizations out of business that dared call for the end of government profligacy back in 2012. I worried when the elected Joe Biden hired 87,000 unelected IRS police armed with guns to collect taxes. 

But how galling is it that an unelected person — an unvetted billionaire! — saves the American public money? How dare he pull the nation from the brink of insolvency and stop in its tracks the forever inflation caused by the unelected Cloward Piven-inspired spending by Dementia Joe’s unelected presidential stand-ins. 

So concerned with the idea that Elon Musk is getting a look at sensitive government documents that Democrats that Nancy Pelosi and her flying monkeys have proposed a bill they call “The Taxpayer Data Protection Act.” It will “prevent Elon Musk and his minions from accessing the private data of everyday Americans to serve their own interests” and “stop people with conflicts of interest or without a security clearance from accessing the highly sensitive Treasury Department payment system.” This, of course, is according to the woman whose insider information has turned her from a thousandaire to a multimillionaire over the decades for being a “public servant.” 

And, as usual, Nancy’s wrong. She and her fellow screamers can harp and howl at the moon, but chances are that Elon Musk isn’t looking at anyone’s private information — and regarding a security clearance? Well, has she stopped to smell herself?

How It Worked

If you wondered since 2016 how come the blob and the Democratic Party were aligned so exquisitely in their operations to destroy populism (personified by Mr. Trump) and to permanently entrench single party power in America for all time to come, it’s because an endless font of taxpayer money was streamed into countless non-governmental orgs creating a shadow civil service of Democratic Party activists that melded seamlessly with the big policy-making agencies.

The money was laundered through manifold layers of these orgs and their sub-orgs to pay for an ongoing “color revolution” in the USA — lawfare, election fraud, propaganda, censorship, career cancellation, medical fuckery, open borders, and other totalitarian ploys — while enriching political players at all those manifold layers from multi-millionaire congressmen and senators to thousands of NGO officials making six-figure salaries to street hustlers like Patrisse Cullors of Black Lives Matter and “anti-racism” racist Ibram X. Kendi and his $50-million Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University (recently axed) — and, of course, ultimately the former Potemkin president “Joe Biden” and his family.

It was all this money that drove eight years of sponsored insanity. Mainly, it kept the hands of the Democratic Party firmly on the levers of power so that nothing could be done about the insults and injuries they were inflicting on our country. So, is it a mystery now that nobody was prosecuted for burning the cities in 2020, or for magically creating millions of extra “Joe Biden” votes out of nowhere that year, or setting up the kickback machine from Ukraine to Congress, or forcing millions to get a janky vaccine?

Modern Slavery? Wealthy New Yorkers Beg Police Not to Turn in Their Cheap Illegal Servants

Affluent liberals’ purported compassion bears a striking resemblance to self-interest.

In fact, like their 19th-century forebears, modern Democrats seem to fancy themselves benefactors to those whom they exploit.

According to the New York Post, police officials in the upscale village of East Hampton on New York’s Long Island have assured wealthy residents that local police cannot cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in detaining and deporting the illegal immigrants upon whom those residents rely for domestic service.

“If it is an ICE detainer or an administrative warrant, we do not have the authority. We will not hold them,” East Hampton Village Police Chief Jeffrey Erickson said at a community meeting on Tuesday.

East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo said effectively the same thing at a different meeting.

“Our level of participation and cooperation with ICE lies in criminal matters,” Sarlo said. “I haven’t seen an ICE agent in this town in I can’t tell you how long.”

Sarlo did add, however, that local police do not make a habit of violently confronting armed federal agents.

In other words, police in sanctuary cities cannot assist ICE, but neither do they actively resist ICE’s efforts. Thus, sanctuary cities themselves constitute the real problem here.

Tulsi Gabbard, the Smear Machine, and the Battle for America’s Intelligence Integrity

In a time of growing distrust in institutions and blatant political double standards, the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) has exposed the festering rot in America’s political and intelligence establishment.

Gabbard is a decorated combat veteran and former congresswoman. Once hailed as a rising star in the Democrat party, she has since been relentlessly smeared—from being labeled a “Russian asset” to even being placed on a terrorist watchlist during the Biden-Harris administration. These attacks aren’t just absurd; they expose how deeply politicized the intelligence community has become.

As DNI, Gabbard would oversee 18 intelligence agencies with a $70 billion budget. Her pending Senate confirmation—where Republicans hold the majority—reignited the predictable chorus of partisan attacks. But the real issue isn’t her qualifications, it’s that Washington fears what her leadership represents: independence, accountability, and a return to intelligence gathering as a national security mission—not a political weapon.

The Clinton Smear and the Politics of Personal Destruction

The “Russian asset” lie leveled against Gabbard is as transparent as it is baseless. The smear originated with none other than Hillary Clinton, who insidiously suggested in 2019 that Gabbard was being “groomed” by Russia to sabotage the 2020 election. Clinton—a political figure infamous for conspiracy theories and deflection—provided no evidence because there was none.

The sheer recklessness of Clinton’s smear should have made it a political joke—yet much of the chattering political class and legacy media ran with it. CNN, The New York Times, and others breathlessly analyzed Clinton’s remark, amplifying it with vague speculation and partisan spin. The same media that demands proof of election fraud or censorship claims had no problem laundering an evidence-free accusation from a former presidential candidate with a track record of deception.

Gabbard did not stay silent. She fired back, calling Clinton “the queen of warmongers” and exposing the smear for what it was: a desperate attempt to destroy an independent voice that refused to fall in line with the Democrat party’s regime-change mantra.

This tried-and-true tactic of the political class and their media acolytes is as dirty as it is effective. Once told, a lie creates a self-perpetuating cycle—a narrative endlessly repeated and amplified, inflicting lasting damage despite never being legitimate in the first place.

The smear took on a life of its own, metastasizing into a media-approved slander that is still repeated today by Democrat operatives, former intelligence officials, internet trolls, and corporate media lackeys.

This phenomenon is how the politics of personal destruction works. The accusation doesn’t need to be true—it just needs to be repeated. The Clinton machine, aided by its intelligence community allies, set the narrative, and the press dutifully carried it forward, tarnishing Gabbard’s name without substantively addressing the facts.
