Under Obama and Biden, USAID was corrupted from its worthy putpose to become a slush fund for the far left and globalists. American taxpayers should not pay for luxury junkets to an ideological indoctrination conference at Davos.

USAID stonewalled congressional inquiries into their controversial programs, including staffers of Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa. The way they handled our tax money was politically motivated and corrupt. We should all thank DOGE for outting this scam and shutting it down. The STate Department has done its due diligence and found most of it bogus.

Our legislature needs to do the same thing to protect citizens and their enjoyment of their own property from these climate grifters and their wind turbines.

The Covid era was another time when the New York Times would only report what was "politically correct" under the government narrative. During that period, the oldest medical journal in the world, the BMJ (British Medical Journal) pusblished an editorial blasting media for refusing to report peer-reviewed scientific studies that disagreed with the government narratives, saying such media were going against both freedom of speech and academic freedom. Similarly when govenrment aligned media like the New York Times refused to acknowledge a peer reviewed study by Danish medical researchers that masks did not work against Covid, the Center for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University blasted the propaganda media for the same reasons.

This is one of the many asinine research studies that our tax dollars are wasted on. And it is cruel to animals on top of that. This is one of the areas where DOGE is needed to prevent waste.

No wonder the Democrats have their panties in a twist over DOGE. DOGE is uncovering a lot of dirt on them and the Deep State, whether gross incompetence or outright fraud. DOGE needs to look at how these career government employees build up huge net worths that their government salaries would not seem to justify.

Taxpayers say HOORAY FOR DOGE.

Maybe we need a Beaufort County DOGE. These slush funds are a cancer on government as the federal DOGE is revealing.

Trump is getting Marxist and racist DEI out of the federal government. UNC has dumped it, as have many other state university systems. Many major companies are also dumping it. When will Beaufort County Community College do so?

You don't have the business success Musk has had if he was an "idiot". Given the alimony and marital property traps, maybe having kids out of wedlock is a smart business decision these days if you want kids especially if you live in California

I would say the real idiot is the person who calls Musk one.

Bigot Bob. Not every conservative is white or male or straight. Indeed a recent poll showed 42% of black males now support President Trump. I know you hate white peopke, especially white males, and most especially straight white males, but your assumptions are just wrong in the current situation.

Of course, not everyone is corrupt, but DOGE and others are sure finding a whole lot of corruption and incompetence in the federal government. Indeed, search engines have reported a huge spike in searches for "criminal defense lawyer" and "RICO" in the Washington, DC area since DOGE started its investigations.

People who threw away our tax money like that ought to be prosecuted, Country Girl. But to the hard left like Little Bobbie, grift is a feature, not a glitch, in progressive "governmance".

Little Bobbie is whining about the $40 million that Space X is getting paid to rescue the lost in space astronauts who Biden has left stranded for months on the International Space Station. Space X seems to be the only ones capable of retrieving them. Does Little Bobbie propose that they just be left to die in space?

Phil Berger is a turd in the Republican punchbowl who constantly betrays us on policy. What he did to ram through Roy Cooper's NC Green New Deal, HB951 in a radical left last minute rewrite of the original bill was atrocious and will cost NC electric ratepayers a bundle. The whole disgusting story can be read at this link:

Phil Berger has betrayed North Carolina Republicans. He needs to GO.

It is so great that we have Musk and his team of computer nerd volunteers with the skills to dig through all to bureaucracy to find all of this outrageous spending. They have the skills to find things that the Deep State thought they had covered up. No wonder the Deep State is in a panic and trying to stave them off. This is a great day for the taxpayers. Yes, they should impeach that corrupt New York Obama judge who is trying to put the brakes on DOGE.

HOORAY FOR DOGE and Musk.

The Democrats are trying to protect the financial shananigans of the Deep State. The federal government does not need to be a slush fund for their leftwing poltiical projects. Now DOGE is rinding large scale actual fraud, and the bureaucrats seemed to have been aware of it but did nothing until DOGE came along.

The whole idea of foreign aid is to help countries that are struggling like those in the Third World, not pushing woke political agendas in a major industrialized western country in Eueope. What USAID was doing in the UK was preposturous. They also sent a big chunk of US taxpayer money to the left leaning BBC which is funded by the British govenrment. Why? They funded a major international censorship organization there. Why? THey are funding illegal immigration into the UK. Why? What if CHina funded illegal immigration into the US?

Good riddance to the politically corrupt USAID.

This fiasco over the missing 4 acres is a total boondoggle, and the ruling cliques of both the school board and county commission have egg all over their faces. The taxpayers have been hung out to dry. Why delegate all of this power to a superintendant who clearly has no business sense or competence? It will be particularly galling if after this dog and pony show he dares demand a raise or a contract extension.
