In This Issue
After repeatedly asking for specifics, the media got what they wanted this week as the White House put out a list of the fraudulent activity perpetrated by USAID. While some worried that poor children might go unfed, DOGE saved trillions in U.S. taxpayer dollars through its investigation. But that’s only part of what happened this week. All of that and more in this issue:

DOGE in Action: When US Aid Goes Bad
Well, folks, it finally happened. This week, the President shut down USAID, the so-called "humanitarian" arm of our government that’s been burning through $40 billion of your hard-earned taxpayer dollars every year — or more! And guess who led the charge? None other than Elon Musk and the President’s new Division of Government Oversight and Efficiency (DOGE). That’s right—DOGE is here, and if you’re a wasteful bureaucrat, you better watch your back.
For decades, USAID was a gravy train for corruption and incompetence. This investigation didn’t just uncover a few mistakes here and there—it laid bare a mountain of fraudulent expenditures. You’ve got taxpayer-funded projects that never got off the ground, consultants billing millions for “planning sessions,” and endless foreign handouts with zero accountability. And what do we have to show for it? A debt-ridden America and overseas “partners” who never learned how to stand on their own two feet.
Of course, the media went into full meltdown mode at first. “How could they do this?” “Think of the global consequences!” But when Musk’s team dropped the evidence, their outrage turned to stunned silence. Even the loudest left-wing pundits had no defense for this level of corruption.
Naturally, some liberals are still whining. They can’t fathom that an agency designed to funnel billions of dollars to other countries is no longer going to be their personal slush fund. But for the hardworking Americans who are footing the bill, this isn’t just welcome news—it’s a cause for celebration. Finally, we’ve got a government that’s willing to say “enough is enough.”
And this is just the beginning. USAID’s implosion is a wake-up call for every bloated government agency out there. DOGE is coming for you. No more business as usual. No more six-figure salaries for bureaucrats who do nothing but push papers and attend meaningless meetings. No more tax dollars wasted on vanity projects in countries that hate us anyway.
Let’s be honest—this is exactly the kind of leadership that’s been missing for far too long. Our Founding Fathers didn’t fight for independence so future generations could squander it on reckless spending and globalist fantasies. They built this nation on principles of accountability, limited government, and self-reliance. It’s time to get back to those roots.
The lesson here is simple: Americans are done with waste. We’re done with foreign aid programs that enrich elites and leave the rest of us with higher taxes. We want our leaders to protect our borders, rebuild our infrastructure, and defend our freedoms—not bankroll the rest of the world.
So to all the bureaucrats out there: You’ve been put on notice. Clean up your act, or DOGE will be knocking on your door next. This is the new America, and it’s about time.

I can’t possibly explain the scale at which the Democrats used our taxpayer dollars to enrich their friends (who then donated to them) but let me highlight 3 USAID expenses:
• $520M was spent on ESG consultants
• $1.2B given to "undisclosed recipients"
• $375M in DEI grants… x.com/i/web/status/1…— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck)
