Elon Musk could get a golden audit.
The world’s richest man got encouragement Sunday to bring his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) into one of the most secure places in the world: Fort Knox.
Sen. Rand Paul called for a review of the vault’s massive gold reserves — worth an estimated $425 billion based on market rates — in response to the tech mogul’s musings about the stash.

A former Canadian intelligence official is warning recent cuts by the new U.S. administration to its intelligence agencies could position the country for “another 9/11.”
Dan Stanton, a former executive manager for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), said in an interview with The West Block’s Mercedes Stephenson that cuts are “degrading the efficiency” of the U.S. intelligence community, which could have a much bigger impact than just America’s borders.
The Deep State had such a surplus of staff that 5000 FBI agents were assigned to hunt down the Jan 6 protesters.
How many others across the multiple US intelligence services were hard at work on undermining President Trump?
The borders were wide open under President Dementia’s tenure.
The barbarians are not only inside the gates they occupied the White House the last 4 years.
The Mike Benz interview on The Joe Rogan Experience (#2237) delivered a masterclass in exposing the tangled web of government censorship, deep state schemes, and a systemic erosion of our First Amendment rights.
An eye opening list of Gov’t abuse of freedoms.
And it just keeps getting worse!
The impossibly rich lifestyle of DC liberals, funded by YOU the taxpayer, without your consent or approval. This is how they live, and the receipts prove it.
USAID, the NEA, and other taxpayer-funded programs issue billions of dollars in grants. John and Jane, or Pete and Pete,… pic.twitter.com/qwq2o2GusA

If an obscure nonprofit received hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars, trained thousands of journalists, influenced media outlets worldwide, and quietly scrubbed its leadership and key records from the internet—wouldn’t you want to know why?
That’s precisely what’s happening with Internews Network, a so-called “independent” media organization almost entirely bankrolled by USAID since 2008.
Treason is the one exception to a presidential pardon.
Legend divulged that the cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Okinawa, Japan’s Camp Courtney, the headquarters of the commanding general of the Third Marine Division, was where Japanese soldiers committed harakiri rather than be taken prisoner during World War II.
You could say the view was to die for.
It was also my introduction to the palatial digs of Major Gen. Steven Olmstead, as the food delivery detail I was assigned to made it obvious this wasn’t your typical stopover on mess duty.
The International Organization for Migration is the primary human smuggling organization that the United Nations uses to shuffle weaponized humans (“migrants”) around the geopolitical chess board to destabilize nation-states and dilute their cultures.
Members of Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” arrived at the Pentagon Friday, in what appeared to be their first meeting with defense department staff, a US official told Reuters. The official spoke on condition of anonymity.
Donald Trump has said the Pentagon would be an early target of Musk’s government budget and personnel slashing team and that he expects the tech billionaire to find hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud and abuse in the department.
Last week, Trump confirmed that he had asked Musk to review spending in the sprawling defense department. “I’ve instructed him to go check out education, to check out the Pentagon, which is the military. And you know, sadly, you’ll find some things that are pretty bad.”
There is a lot of attention on the Trump administration removing dozens of Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI officials involved in charging 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants, but one area of politicization in the FBI and DOJ that isn’t getting attention: crime data.
The ability to manipulate and distort crime data allows those distorting the data to control the political debate.
Searches for “criminal defense attorney” have skyrocketed in Washington, D.C. over the past couple of weeks.
As in a 500% increase since Donald Trump was inaugurated.
Do watch this vid. It’s how I feel about the Trudeau Government.
Everyone needs to watch this video..
This video needs to reach every member of Congress and the Senate.
They need to see the hurt and anger that so many of us are feeling right now!! pic.twitter.com/8kaakTwgYN

Biden’s agenda was really a way to funnel billions of dollars to progressive activist groups.
On his first day in office, President Trump signed an executive order rolling back DEI policies across the federal bureaucracy. Moving almost as quickly, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency investigators set off a firestorm by exposing the dubious spending priorities of USAID and other federal agencies. Now the White House is starting to dismantle the Biden administration’s vast “environmental justice” apparatus. Last week, Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin placed 160 employees in the agency’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights on paid leave. The move leaves “the environmental justice program at EPA on life support,” that office’s former deputy assistant administrator, Matthew Tejada, told NPR.
JUST IN: EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and DOGE just cancelled a $50 MILLION environmental justice grant to the Climate Justice Alliance, which believes “climate justice travels through a Free Palestine”.

USAID is only one outpost of a corrupted humanitarian establishment.
In the past couple of weeks, devastating information has erupted into the public domain detailing the malign activities of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The Trump administration has effectively shut USAID down by freezing its existing foreign assistance programs, worth around $70 billion per year, and putting the agency under the oversight of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio as acting director.
Now that it's been exposed that Thomson Reuters was being paid by the American govt through USAID, we know why Andrew Coyne has been screaming like a lunatic at Trump and Musk.
The Globe and Mail is owned by Thomson Reuters. Coyne's newspaper is in deep shit. pic.twitter.com/LhNY9HBamV

Government dollars flowed to the infamous terror group, watchdogs found.
The most striking aspect of President Donald Trump’s dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) isn’t that unsavory aid recipients have misused taxpayer dollars. It’s that anyone is shocked by the revelations of waste, fraud, and abuse. After all, watchdog groups have sounded the alarm for years about misuse of USAID funds.
People shouldn’t just be enraged by USAID’s wasteful spending. They should also focus on what that spending supported—particularly when it promoted terror or aligned with Hamas’s interests.
The revelation that The New York Times and Politico received millions collectively in taxpayer dollars from a slew of US government agencies sparked public outrage. But a new investigation by MRC Business will make the scandal of government-funded media even worse.
Every so often, I get reminded that I’m old, and I’ve been programming for almost 60 years, which is a long time. But 60 years in the business means I’ve seen a lot of things that young naïve programmers have never seen.
This comes up often when people talk about DOGE and the Wizards Academy Musk has put together to help investigate fraud, abuse, and, probably most of all, bureaucratic stupidity.
