The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

Elon took it?  Did he put it in his own account, or just spend it?  Goodness knows he needs it.

waste, fraud & abuse of OUR money being discovered wasted & the left is going crazy because Trump & team are discovering it.

this is just a very, very small example: 

Under the Biden administration, USAID awarded $20 million to a nonprofit called Sesame Workshop to produce a show called "Ahlan Simsim Iraq" in an effort to "promote inclusion, mutual respect and understanding across ethnic, religious and sectarian groups." 

sometimes I just don't understand.

so you are less than excited about the fraud & abuse being discovered that effects our wallets?  Maybe it's because of the side you are on & the people that are unearthing it?  I have a feeling that if Biden & team went about this you would be cheering.  Thing is I would be cheering right with you.

that is our difference,

Good luck, you are going to need it.

DOGE has blocked a payment of $52 million to the World Economic Forum  

[Frozenbeernuts 2,100]

Oh look the government used terms like misinformation and disinformation to hide their attacks on speech. What a shocker. I would have never guessed that when they used those terms they weren't being genuine. Nor could I have ever guessed that it's impossible for any one entity to determine what is proper information, especially when that same entity is always lying.

Head of I.R.S. Is Ousted in Treasury’s Power Struggle With Elon Musk

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent complained to President Trump that the acting commissioner had been installed without his knowledge.

President Trump has replaced the acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service after his appointment just days earlier set off a power struggle between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the billionaire Elon Musk, five people with knowledge of the change said Friday.

Mr. Bessent’s deputy, Michael Faulkender, will be the new acting leader, replacing Gary Shapley, the Treasury Department confirmed on Friday. Mr. Faulkender will be the third acting leader of the agency this week.

Mr. Bessent had complained to Mr. Trump this week that Mr. Musk had done an end run around him to get Mr. Shapley installed as the interim head of the I.R.S., even though the tax collection agency reports to Mr. Bessent, the people familiar with the situation said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

The clash was the latest instance of Mr. Musk’s influence in the Trump administration that has alarmed top officials. It was also the latest upheaval at the tax agency, with much of its staff pushed out or quitting. Mr. Trump earlier this week called for the I.R.S. to revoke Harvard University’s tax-exempt status after the school refused to impose sweeping changes demanded by the administration.

...

Mr. Shapley, a longtime I.R.S. agent, gained fame among conservatives after he claimed that the Justice Department had slow-walked its investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes.

Mr. Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency pushed Mr. Shapley’s appointment through White House channels, but Mr. Bessent was not consulted or asked for his blessing, according to those with knowledge of the dynamic. Mr. Bessent then got Mr. Trump’s approval to unwind the decision within days, they said. Mr. Shapley had been working from the I.R.S. commissioner’s office as late as Friday morning.
