People are talking about a DOGE dividend. I'd like people's thoughts on this before I share my opinion.

Too good to check:

Et Tu, Stacey? Stacey Abrams Linked to a $2 Billion Environmental Grant Rolled Up by DOGE

The worst scum: Hamas releases four dead hostages to Israel including mother, her two children

I'm sensing an underlying theme there with Democrats: Democratic governor vetoes Arizona Republicans' plan for faster election results

Based on the wasteful spending already identified in other areas of government, I'm curious to know if Hegseth can remove the waste and turn the military into a far better machine. The only question will be how many leaders he has to fire: Pete Hegseth orders Pentagon to prepare for 8 percent budget cuts for the next five years

If I needed more evidence of the stupidity of Democrat voters, this would fit the bill nicely: Buttigieg leading potential Democrats in 2026 Michigan U.S. Senate primary election: Poll

Given the complete lack of oversight, I'm pretty sure I can guess what happened here:

SHOCKING: DOGE Uncovers Over 4 Million Government Credit Cards Linked to 90 Million Unique Transactions

Total amount spent? Nearly $40 billion.

Department doing the most charging? DOD.

Hate it.

Reduce taxes, reduce the deficit, pay down debt.

Certify the ballot count before any review.

Nothing suspicious about that.

Playing Obama games....

LA Mayor, we're investigation why nobody told me not to go to Ghana before the fires.

She should be an NFL punter.

I concur. As a first stop, extending the Trump tax cuts should be congressional order #1. Any money that is recovered/not spent should be sent to pay down the deficit and debts. Then watch the effects snowball.

But sending money back to the taxpayers, while a nice idea, smacks too much of the COVID nonsense.

'zactly, snowball, across the economy, inflation, interest, available capital. The real effect makes $5K look like a pittance.

Posting again.
Worth watching the speeches Alliance for Responsible Citizenship.

None of them are longer than 15 minutes.

Anthony Oliver, remember the song "Richmen North of Richmond", very touching and on point. Sunflowers in Babylon, very emotional but not saccarine prose/poetry by Joshua Luke Smith, never heard of him but it was also on point.

I have not yet watched any of the panel discussions.
