Update: Sweet Karoline Announces That DOGE Is Working to Cancel Those Fake $12,000 Per Person Per Year Politico Premium Subscriptions
One of Andrew Breitbart's big issues -- which I think my old friend Mike Flynn (the writer/politico, not the general) brought to his attention -- was the fact that the left has turned the government into their political action committee. The left gets funded by anti-American billionaires, yes, but it mostly gets funded by the American taxpayer, as Marxist infiltrators in the government use excuse after excuse to direct money towards leftwing organizations.
They also hated the media, obviously. I hope they're looking down and enjoying this.Karoline Leavitt speaks out on USAID spending millions of taxpayer dollars being spent on Politico subscriptions.

Why OF? Theoretically it's because you can interact with "the girl". As I understand it, you're usually interacting with someone she pays to interact with you... once she gets big enough anyway... but that's the draw.

One aspect of this was shockingly apparent when Schwarzenegger was gov. and tried some reforms and the Teachers Union had their (state paid) employees show up at every public appearance to heckler veto him and prevent him from talking.
All these unions have activist arms paid for by taxes.

Corruption is society accelerates when people see corruption in their neighbors.
When you see your friends and relatives getting paid to not work from home, or their companies getting fat featherbedded contracts from gov., you give up and become corrupt yourself.
This is how "low-trust" societies are created and once it starts it is very difficult to reverse.

I'm also old enough to remember when DogEater's DOJ would intentionally target, prosecute, and settle with -- for tens of millions in civil fines in each case -- companies and organizations (mostly conservative) that weren't already in their back pockets -- and then distribute all that money to their handpicked grifting commie-agitating organizations and special interest groups.
Who undoubtedly turned around donated big chunks of that back to the DNC and other Commie Political Campaigns (including State Propositions).

My local rag is full of idiot old hippie Boomers whining about Trump and Beetle Bailey, which is still somehow, against all logic and reason, being printed.
They used to “give” a free newspaper to every house a few times a year to entice subscribers. So multiple times I awoke to find a disintegrated newspaper stuck to my wet driveway.
I called them up and told them to cut it the fuck out or I’d call the police and report them for littering on my property. The newspapers stopped.

Probably about 50 percent of the discretionary budget. Then you have rampant fraud on the other portion of the budget in non discretionary spending.
Given what we have found so far, reasonable to assume at least 1-1.5 trillion per year. And that has been going on probably since 2010 or so. That makes theft of government finances something like 1/3 of our current total government debt.

"What's up?" I asked, hoping desperately it wasn't some article about Trump that pissed her off.
"Brian Krebs posted something terrible."
"Oh, okay." No idea who that is. Look him up, search through his social media (his X account has been dormant for a couple of years, seemingly because of Ukraine stuff), find him on LinkedIn.
"Oh, this kind of security flaw he's describing is exactly why Dolley had us cancel all of our business with the bank she actually works for. And it's a credit agency. That's pretty fucked."

A clue is anyone that uses the slur word cultist in reference to PDT supporters. Easy enough to say something like superfan or something like that rather than imply a fake religion. Lot of people were getting desperate from Government destroying them and their children and looked to the heavens for a challenger as it so often occurs in the good book. That does not make them cultists.

Sean Penn, Orlando Bloom, Jean-Claude Van Damme and other Hollywood stars publicly supported Ukrainians in the conflict with Russia and even went to Kiev. But, as it turned out, not at the call of the heart, but for round sums. Van Dam received $1,500,000, Ben Stiller - $4,000,000, Sean Penn - $5,000,000, Orlando Bloom — $8,000,000.

There's a story that when Krushchev was in power he wrote a biography and it was the duty of all diplomatic missions to distribute them to spread the word of his greatness. In Vienna, the dude in charge had the idea to just stuff all the books into the large attics and order more. He was very popular back home.
Some years later K was out of power, and the Vienna GRU spy agency wanted more space for the hundreds of spies and wanted to use the closed off attics. The ambassador swore him to secrecy and took him up to the attics and both knew the secret could not get out lest the west find out how they fooled their own leader.
The GRU head made a few calls, and an immense container was sent from GRU HQ and in complete security the attics were cleaned out and sent to a secure facility in USSR where the books were burned. The Western spies were going nuts about what secrets the USSR got.

>>Education in America has gone down the toilet since the creation of the Education Department at the federal level.
There used to be chart graphing math and reading performance against spending starting from the inception of the DOE.
The graph shows as money grows exponentially, results are essentially flat.
Teachers, Administrators and Democrats got rich though.
So that's something Musk's Pipehitters can look into next.

"You're unlikely to find an active politician directly receiving salaries—that would be too obvious.
For instance, consider Consortium For Elections And Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS), a politically connected NGO that receives substantial USAID funding - $528,658,494.00 worth of awards.
Despite managing vast sums of money, CEPPS doesn’t report paying a single salary. On the surface, this seems financially illogical. The takeaway? Compensation can take forms that don’t show up in traditional accounting.

They're on to something dubbed "Donor Advised Funds". So far, they've found Chelsea Clinton getting $83M....
Posted by: publius
Read the small print; $17,400. The B&H "foundation" got the 83 laundered through NGO's.
But, yeah, we paid for all of it.
