More Woke Craziness Uncovered by DOGE.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Trump Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to uncover shameless misuse of our taxpayer dollars for insider payoffs and woke activism.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0exposed<\/a>\u00a0by DOGE, the new department led by Elon Musk has found yet more leftist nonsense and grift to cancel.<\/p>\n

DOGE on Thursday\u00a0revealed<\/a>\u00a0the following initiatives on which our money was set to be spent, but which fortunately have been shut down:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

– $60M for “Indigenous Peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– $74M for “inclusive justice” in Colombia<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– $79M for “primary literacy” in Kenya<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– $37M for “female empowerment” in Colombia<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– $8M to “Reduce stigma, discrimination, and violence against LGBTQI+ communities” in Lesotho<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– $3.3M for “being LGBTQI in the Caribbean”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– $25k to increase “Vegan Local Climate Action Innovation” in Zambia<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Earlier this week, DOGE identified a substantial amount of cash going to the insidious World Economic Forum and\u00a0the plan<\/a>\u00a0for you to \u201cown nothing\u201d and \u201chave no privacy.\u201d\u00a0Other ridiculous initiatives also included \u201c$69mm for the Eurasia Foundation to do \u2018digital transformation activity\u2019 in Europe.\u201d Whatever the heck that means.<\/p>\n

From DOGE:<\/a><\/p>\n

-$32mm to Internews for programs including “media enabling democracy, inclusion, and accountability in Moldova” and the promotion of \u201csustainable media outlets”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

-$7mm for the American Bar Association to promote the “resilience” of the “Eurasian legal sector and civic society”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

-$520mm for a consultant to do ESG investments in Africa and “mobilize private sector resources and expertise\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

-$25mm to \u201cpromote biodiversity conservation and promote licit livelihoods\u201d by developing \u201csocially responsible\u201d behaviors in Colombia<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

-$40mm to “improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

-$42mm for Johns Hopkins to research and drive “social and behavior change” in Uganda<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

-$45mm to “address [] the needs, opportunities, and challenges identified by activists and other civic actors engaged in nonviolent collective action”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

-$52mm for the World Economic Forum<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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. \u201cA 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,\u201d DOGE\u00a0explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That turned out to be quite the lucrative deal. \u201cAs a result, Family Endeavors\u2019 cash and portfolio of investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023. Since March 2024, HHS has paid ~$18M\/month to keep the Pecos facility open despite sitting empty.\u201d But no more. \u201cWith national licensed facility occupancy now below 20%, HHS was able to terminate this contract, saving taxpayers over $215M annually.\u201d Hurrah, hurrah.<\/p>\n

Back on Feb. 25, DOGE also\u00a0posted<\/a>, \u201cToday, the Federal Government exceeded $100M in annual rent savings through cancellations of 250+ vacant\/underutilized leases totaling 3M+ square feet. \u00a0With ~7,250 current leases, there is plenty of available office space for the current workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, multiple agencies, including the Departments of Education, Treasury, Commerce, the Interior, DHS, EPA, and NASA reportedly have numerous unused or unnecessary credit cards. DOGE is auditing these to see how many can be deactivated. \u201cCredit Card Update!\u201d was the Wednesday X\u00a0announcement<\/a>. \u201cPilot program across 14 civilian agencies to audit unused\/unneeded \u2018P-cards\u2019 (~700K accounts with ~$30B of spend in FY24). After 8 days, ~24,000 cards have been de-activated, which will likely double by end of week.\u201d<\/p>\n

May DOGE continue its work for as long as it takes to slash unconstitutional and unjustifiable government waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
