Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E finds answers to where the Pentagon’s missing $800B went last year
The Pentagon’s books are a mess, and D.O.G.E just ripped the lid off one of the biggest financial disasters in government history. The Department of Defense (DoD) lost track of $824 billion last year, and their latest audit only confirms what most already suspected—no one knows where the money went.
This isn’t a small accounting error. The DoD’s $4.1 trillion in assets and $4.3 trillion in liabilities were put under scrutiny, and the results are just embarrassing.
Out of all the entities inside the Pentagon, only nine managed to pass their audits. One got a “qualified” rating, meaning the books weren’t great but not a total disaster. The remaining fifteen failed completely.
Their financials were such a mess that auditors couldn’t even determine whether they were right or wrong. Three major Pentagon branches—the Marine Corps, the Defense Logistics Agency’s National Defense Stockpile Transaction Fund, and the DoD Office of Inspector General—haven’t even submitted their audits yet. Pentagon spending raises questions
Sean Parnell, assistant to the secretary of Defense for public affairs, pointed to wasteful contracts in a video posted Monday night. According to him, the Department of Government Efficiency (led by Musk) has identified $80 million in potential savings, though this barely makes a dent in the Pentagon’s $850 billion budget.
Parnell called out $13 million in projects that had little to do with military operations. This included:
$1.9 million for the Air Force’s “holistic DEI transformation and training” $6 million to the University of Montana to “strengthen American democracy by bridging divides” $3.5 million for “support to DEI groups” from the Defense Human Resources Activity $1.6 million to the University of Florida to study “social and institutional detriments of vulnerability and resilience to climate hazards in African Sahel”
“This stuff is just not a core function of our military,” Parnell said, calling these expenses “a distraction.”

...and the Democrats just sat there while Trump talked about all the wasteful spending that DOGE has found.
I'd cut DOD department heads pay until the missing amount was made up by the withheld pay and/or monies magically re-appearing. Not just being accounted for, but returned to the coffers. Offer whistle blowers who have no fund dispersing privileges at all a substantial reward for verifiable undocumented spending.
Damn this is a great rant!

Trump Hit With Devastating Poll Result After Bonkers Speech
"Apparently, only 44 percent of viewers had a very positive reaction to the president’s address. Twenty-five percent had a somewhat positive reaction, and 31 percent had a negative reaction.
This is not only a low watermark when compared with the first addresses to Congress delivered by previous presidents...."
Everything the politicians and press spew out to us is full of spin!

I do not like the Tate Bro's ........ but everyone should have their say........
I gotta say He's a grifter. He thinks he has an answer. He's a piece of shit. Our political class is in his crosshairs, not normal happy families. Most of us do not need a side piece or a kid to fuk.
