DoGE

Elon Musk and DoGE take center stage

All during the campaign, Trump promised to cut out the waste, fraud, and abuse and tasked Elon Musk to organize a team to identify the abusers and fraudsters -- enter the DoGE Team.

Monday: February 10th -- DoGE

On January 21, President Trump signed an executive order establishing DoGE, the "Department of Government Efficiency."

The order renamed the "United States Digital Service" to the "United States DoGE Service" and created "DoGE teams" embedded within federal agencies consisting of at least four special government employees that would have "full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems and IT systems" to the "maximum extent consistent with law."

Officially, the group's goal is to advance the "president's DoGE agenda" by "modernizing federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity."

During the first full week of February, the DoGE Teams went to work and it didn't take long for rumors to start appearing in the media and the rumors weren't good.

Over $100 billion annually was being paid out of the Social Security System to individuals without traceable or identifiable Social Security Numbers (SSNs) and even more alarming, Treasury staffers estimate at least half of these payments -- approximately $50 billion per year or $1 billion per week -- to be unequivocally fraudulent.

That's just one federal system. There are dozens and dozens of federal systems that are cutting checks made payable to entities all over the planet -- known and unknown. In each of these systems are data -- most good, some bad, and some just not known, that have been carried forward since the systems were first built -- fifty or sixty years ago.

Musk addresses just one issue that can be created by faulty dates.

Haywood Talcove, the CEO of LexisNexis Special Services, testifying in front of Congress' DoGE Subcommittee, said that by implementing a robust Social Security Number (SSN) verification system could save $1 trillion every single year.

This iseasier said than done when you may have ten thousand people all paying into and being paid out of a single Social Security Number. Joe Biden's immigration invasion project assigned duplicate SSNs to many, many illegal migrants.

The New York Times says "no way"

The New York Times published an article about Musk's appearance in the Oval Office earlier in the week. The Times said Musk presented "no proof" of waste, fraud, or abuse, but a simple Google search shows otherwise.

The Times concluded that because Musk did not provide reporters with screenshots, receipts, and specific documentation at the press conference means such waste, fraud, and abuse never happened, but several inspectors general and the GAO have already proved the Times wrong, and there's more to come.

Over $2.7 trillion in fraudulent U. S. government payments have been discovered by DoGE in its first week of operation. DoGE found that the US government sent $2.7 trillion in Medicare and Medicaid money overseas to people who were NOT eligible to receive it. That’s 8% of our national debt.

A separate GAO report on Medicare and Medicaid alone from April 2024 found that “both Medicare and Medicaid are susceptible to payment errors -- over $100 billion worth in 2023.”

A GAO report from September 2024, for instance, warned that “the federal government could lose between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud alone.” In fiscal year 2023, it found $236 billion in improper payments across 71 programs. Of that, six programs were responsible for about $200 billion of that sum. Those included Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment Insurance, the Paycheck Protection Program, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and Supplement Security Income. That report from the non-partisan GAO was released under the Biden administration and available for months prior to Musk’s comments.

Just last Wednesday, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced that he had found $20 billion in taxpayer money that the Biden administration “parked” at a financial institution in an apparent effort to prevent the Trump administration from cutting grants to a “far-left activist groups.”

And the programs are crazy

The Department of Education funded a training program for teachers that promoted the idea that babies are racist and another one that argues that educators should destigmatize "sex work," especially for "queer and trans people of color" and "LGBT+ youth."

Every day, another dozen programs meant to spread Barack Obama's Critical Race Theory and Queer Theory propaganda throughout the world are identified -- and all underwritten by the American taxpayer.

U. S. taxpayer dollars were allocated to the following programs, all which have now been canceled:

And that's just a sampling. There are literally hundreds of like programs

The Terminator is roaming the corridors of federal buildings

While the exposition of waste, fraud, and abuse continued, the mass termination of federal probationary employees began. Probationary federal employees, those who have worked for the government for less than two years are being terminated. This action will impact up to 220,000 workers who have been hired in past two years. The word is, many long-term employees are also biting the dust.

The White House terminated as many as a dozen U. S. attorneys from the DoJ on Wednesday and about 100 people from the Office of Personnel Management were fired on Thursday in a conference call and given less than an hour to leave the building.

Nearly 1,300 probationary employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- roughly one-tenth of the agency’s workforce -- are being terminated. 400 DHS probationary employees wereterminated as mass firings continue.

And the beat goes on, creating a bottleneck problem because the maximum number of people who can retire from the federal government in a month is 10,000, because the paperwork is done manually at an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania.

The mine in question is Iron Mountain. "The speed at which the mine shaft elevator can move determines how many people can retire from the federal government." Iron Mountain is a 330,000-square-foot data center more than 200 feet deep. It uses a 35-acre underground reservoir to create a geothermal cooling system. A report from 2021 reveals how the government tried (and failed) to digitize the process for decades. $106 million later, and failing to do so, the government decided to keep the old process.

Activist judges throw a monkey wrench into the process

The activist judges who are trying to stop the Trump agenda and take control of the government for the Deep State.

Many of the same elements of our system of justice that were used to harass, bankrupt, and even try to jail President Trump in years past are still in place and are already being weaponized against MAGA right now, causing the media to cry "Constitutional Crisis".

Click, then click again, for large image

The White House on Wednesday sought to turn around claims from Democrats that there was a looming “constitutional crisis” if President Trump defied court orders, arguing that the real “crisis” was the result of federal judges blocking the president’s agenda.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt accused media outlets of “fearmongering” with headlines about a constitutional crisis. The term has been thrown out by Democrats including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and constitutional scholars who have raised concerns about Trump and his allies defying court orders. Leavitt said:

“In fact, the real constitutional crisis is taking place within our judicial branch, where district court judges in liberal districts across the country are abusing their power to unilaterally block President Trump’s basic executive authority. We believe these judges are acting as judicial activists rather than honest arbiters of the law.”

She cited a dozen injunctions in the past two weeks against orders issued by the Trump administration. She decried those who issued those injunctions as “liberal judges,” though some of the judges involved were appointed by former President George W. Bush and Trump himself.

“This is part of a larger concerted effort by Democrat activists, and nothing more than a continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump.”

The president on Tuesday said he would abide by court orders and would seek to appeal rulings that did not go in his favor, but Democrats and some legal experts have sounded the alarm after Vice President Vance and top Trump adviser Elon Musk in recent days suggested judges don’t have jurisdiction to stop the president from exercising his authority.

Signing off with a message to watch for this

This should grab your attention. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who was just appointed to lead the U. S. House Oversight Committee "Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets" in relation to UFOs, 9/11, Epstein, JFK, the origins of COVID-19 and more, says her first investigation will be the JFK assassination.

Last Friday, the FBI just hapened to find 2,400 JFK Assassination Records not provided to the review board. The White House learned of the files when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted its release plan pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order.

Then Rep. Luna dropped this hand grenade!

“Based on what I've seen, the initial hearing held in Congress was faulty -- I believe there were two shooters.”

She may be new to Congress, but she knows how to grab our attention.
