Republican Senate and House all voted "NO"!-----Zeldin EPA discovers $2 billion Biden admin stashed away for Stacey Abrams-linked climate group

“It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told the outlet, referring to Power Forward Communities latest tax filings. - Victor Nava 

The funds were set aside at an outside financial institution – Citibank – before Biden left office and part of a larger, $20 billion pot of money the former president’s EPA received through the Inflation Reduction Act to dole out to climate groups.
“It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told the outlet, referring to Power Forward Communities latest tax filings. 

“That’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue.”Zeldin claims the Biden administration “parked” the money at an outside bank to keep the Trump administration from clawing it back.
Last week, Zeldin revealed that he located the $20 billion his EPA predecessors squirreled away in an apparent attempt to prevent the Trump administration from clawing back the money and to obscure the various groups that Power Forward Communities, and seven other entities, decide to distribute the funds to...

DOGE Investigating Feds Whose Net Worths Have Exploded After Samantha Power Bombshell | ZeroHedge

DOGE Investigating Feds Whose Net Worths Have Exploded After Samantha Power Bombshell | ZeroHedge - by Tyler Durden
The announcement - which came after President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling on federal agencies to work with DOGE, follows a bombshell report that Samantha Power, former head of USAID, saw her net worth explode to $30 million despite an annual salary under $250,000.

"We don't know why. Where did it come from? I think the reality is that they're getting wealthy at the taxpayer expense," Musk said on Tuesday.

• Power, a former ambassador to the United Nations under President Obama, and was sworn in as head of USAID in May of 2021, reported a net worth between $6.7 million-$16.5 million in January of 2021 on a disclosure form. Her net worth is now estimated as high as $30 million, according to the website Biden's Basement.

How Biden Traded Transformers for Heat Pumps

In America’s race to electrify everything from cars to manufacturing, it has started to run out of transformers.  - Charles Yang 

These critical components, which regulate voltage throughout our power grid, now have multi-year wait times and prices that have nearly doubled since 2020.
We shouldn't be in this situation. 

• Back in 2022, the Biden administration had an opportunity to use Defense Production Act (DPA) funding to boost domestic transformer manufacturing capacity. 
• Instead, it chose to direct its $250 million in DPA authority towards heat pump production. 

This was a disastrous misstep — and now the U.S. is stuck playing catch-up...

Yes, the CDC Lies About Flu Deaths. (Just Like COVID.)

Yes, the CDC Lies About Flu Deaths. (Just Like COVID.) - Jessica Hockett
By now, Americans—and much of the world—know that the CDC lies about a lot of things.
One of the agency’s long-standing deceptions, which only grew worse in the years leading up to 2020, is the exaggerated “estimated” number of deaths caused by or “related to” influenza...
My chief interest in flu concerns the “disappearance” of positive flu tests in 2020—an event I argue was

• intentional, not accidental, and not the result of viral interference or non-pharmaceutical interventions,
•  and a key component of the COVID-19 event, which I believe was, in part, an operation designed to off-ramp problematic flu shot technologies, obscure related morbidity and mortality issues, and sustain decades of deception about influenza and respiratory illness...

I'm no longer convinced that deaths can truly be caused by an influenza virus. 

Instead, there are deaths from pneumonia or complications involving pneumonia, with a portion conveniently “pinned” on influenza—thanks to testing...

Remember who is making them RICH!

 

Trump's EPA Chief: We Have Found the 'Gold Bars' Biden's Team Hid - $20 Billion Set Aside to Thwart Trump

Trump's EPA Chief: We Have Found the 'Gold Bars' Biden's Team Hid - $20 Billion Set Aside to Thwart Trump: 

“The American public deserves a more transparent and accountable government than what transpired these past four years.”

This stash of “gold bars” from the EPA is merely one of several slush funds that have been discovered within less than a month of Trump taking office.

Europe wants America to fund the Ukraine war indefinitely, which costs us hundreds of billions of dollars while offering us no benefit.

Naturally, countries like Germany, that have howled about Putin being the next Hitler who must be stopped at all costs, are now flinching from the idea of doing anything themselves to keep the peace.
Charlie Kirk@charliekirk11 

But now that Trump has proposed a peace deal that would end the fighting, and be maintained by stationing European but not U.S. troops along the ceasefire line. 

Naturally, countries like Germany, that have howled about Putin being the next Hitler who must be stopped at all costs, are now flinching from the idea of doing anything themselves to keep the peace.

This is a continent of freeloaders. 

Torsten Prochnow@TorstenProchnow - Charlie Kirk is absolutely right. 

For years, European leaders—especially Germany—have screamed that Putin is the biggest threat since Hitler and that Ukraine must be defended “at all costs.” 

But the moment President Trump proposes a real solution—one that actually requires Europe to take responsibility—they suddenly aren’t so interested. 

Germany in particular has been one of the loudest voices demanding endless U.S. funding for Ukraine, yet it won’t even meet its own NATO defense commitments, let alone step up to secure peace...

Elon Musk bombshell: 'This might be the biggest fraud in history' * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

Maybe there are vampires after all. And they're collecting Social Security. That stunning conclusion comes from Elon Musk, chief of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, and is a result of DOGE's initial review of the nation's Social Security, its payouts, and more specifically, those getting the benefits.

One of the things that I wanted to talk about today is, of course, our shared values. 

And, you know, it’s great to be back in Germany. 

As you heard earlier, I was here last year as United States senator. 

 saw Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and joked that both of us last year had different jobs than we have now. 

But now it’s time for all of our countries, for all of us who have been fortunate enough to be given political power by our respective peoples, to use it wisely to improve their lives...

 

 

The "system" is a MESS!-----Elon Musk cries 'fraud' on 20 million in Social Security database over age 100

— here’s why they’re listed and don’t get benefits - Josh Christenson 

Tesla and X CEO-turned-special government employee Elon Musk claimed to have uncovered “the biggest fraud in history” when he stumbled across more than 20 million people listed in the Social Security database as over 100 years old...

• “We believe it likely SSA did not receive or record most of the 18.9 million individuals’ death information primarily because the individuals died decades ago — before the use of electronic death reporting,” the report states...
• The audits, however, did reveal that around 531 million unique Social Security numbers are in circulation — and that “thousands” may be in use to commit identity fraud.
• The 2015 audit showed about $3.1 billion in earnings reported by employers or self-employed individuals who were not the actual Social Security number holder...

Educating the Stupid on How Audits Work In Real Life | Monster Hunter Nation -  correia45 

Watching everybody I know on the left pontificating about the proper way to conduct audits, after getting their accounting degrees from the University of Internet this week, is absolute cringe for me.

• Guys, listen, I say this with love… You don’t know dick about shit and it’s fucking embarrassing. Just stop. 

You sound like idiots.
So now, as a guy who used to be an auditor, who has defended companies from dozens of audits from different government agencies, I’ll try to correct some of your incredibly stupid NPC talking points you keep endlessly barfing up.
First off, you need to know there’s a difference between an outside audit and an internal audit. 

• An outside audit is when somebody who isn’t part of your company comes in and checks your stuff. This could be one of the fifty something government agencies that audit people/businesses, or this could be an outside CPA firm making sure you are in compliance for some reason (like the company is publicly traded). I’ll talk more about what CPAs are in a minute.
• Then there are internal audits, where the person in charge has his own people audit his company, looking for problems, hoping to have everything in order before those 3rd party outsiders show up to check, or searching for fraud, waste, and abuse… You know, those annoying things that tend to screw you over and put you out of business. That’s the kind of auditing I mostly did...

Musk retweeted a screenshot from the report and disputed the characterization of the treatment of the workers. "60 Mins are such liars. As the Community Note states, all employees were offered 8 months of pay & benefits," he wrote.
