DOGE Discoveries Shock And Anger Americans

 

Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk recently claimed the Federal Emergency Management Agency spent $59 million “last week” on “luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.” Musk’s assertion, subsequently denied by City Hall officials, was made via an early morning post on X. He then stated that “A claw-back demand” would be made “to recoup those funds.” (Which, apparently, has been done.)

Musk added, “That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high-end hotels for illegals.”

City Hall officials issued a statement denying Musk’s assertions, indignantly—but humorously-- saying that only $19 million will go toward housing migrants in hotels. The statement also noted that “the previous administration committed only $237 million in funding to help house the migrants in our care and for future services.”

These expenditures are shocking and maddening on several levels, especially as FEMA officials essentially told western North Carolina residents who were recently victimized by Hurricane Milton that the organization was out of money…or at least dangerously low on cash.

Putting illegal aliens up in cushy hotels is a misuse of funds, effectively taxation without representation. It clearly illustrates that the government prefers immigrants to American citizens. “Only $19 million” to put criminals up in luxury hotels…for a week? And “only” $237 million in funding prior to that? WTF?! I don’t recall signing off on that. Neither does any other taxpayer.

This is almost as insane as if, say, USAID spent $20 million for an Iraqi version of Sesame Street, or countless millions to promote transgenderism around the world. Oh, wait, it did do both of those, too. Hah! Why didn’t we send taxpayer money to Ireland for a DEI musical…or just send it to terrorist groups? Oh crap. We did. And we did. We also pay for many nations’ condoms-- and other contraceptive materials. Don’t ask “why?” Ask “why not?!”

Did USAID send American taxpayer cash to Canada to teach Canadians how to play hockey—or to Russia to teach Russians how to make borscht? Wouldn’t doubt it. Maybe the U.S. could send off a couple million bucks to Albania to fund classes in underwater basket-weaving for those in the transgender community.

Worst of all, USAID has been funding left-wing media outlets literally around the world. That’s right, productive Americans have been paying for the mainstream media to lie to them and mock their beliefs and values. Abroad and at home! Money well spent…if you’re an ideological thug.

President Trump recently signed an Executive Order creating a council to review FEMA, due to its obvious political bias. Many are calling for FEMA to be shuttered. And USAID has already been greatly reduced in size.

That’s a start, anyway. The founders intended for the United States to have a government of, by, and for the people. Tragically, we ended up having a government of, by, and for those in government. Most of whom are anything but ‘public servants.’

It is time for a rebirth.
