Elon Musk’s DOGE discovered that Joe Biden’s EPA awarded $2 billion to a firm linked to failed Democrat Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.

Even worse, the firm only reported $100 in revenue in its first three months in business in 2023.

How did a brand new firm that only reported $100 in revenue get awarded $2 billion??

Earlier this month Lee Zeldin, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), provided an update to the money wasted on Biden’s watch in response to undercover video posted by Project Veritas in December.

EPA Advisor Brent Efron admitted on undercover video to an ‘insurance policy’ against the Trump Admin and said the agency was funneling billions to climate organizations in a last minute heist.

“We’re throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” Efron told a Project Veritas undercover journalist.

Last week Lee Zeldin said his team at the EPA ‘found the gold bars.’

“Fortunately, my awesome team at the EPA has found the gold bars. Shockingly, roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history and it was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight,” Zeldin said.

It gets worse.

Zeldin said the $20 billion was “awarded to just 8 entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far less transparency. Just under $7 billion was sent to one entity called the Climate United Fund.”

Now this…

It was revealed that $2 billion of the $20 billion recovered by Lee Zeldin was awarded to Power Forward Communities, a brand new nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams, according to the Free Beacon.

EPA Chief Lee Zeldin responded to the Free Beacon’s report.

“It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion. That’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue,” Lee Zeldin told the Free Beacon.

The Free Beacon reported:

DOGE discovered $2 billion in taxpayer funds set aside for a fledgling nonprofit linked to perennial Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams.

The Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration awarded Power Forward Communities the grant in April 2024 as part of the agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program. Power Forward Communities received the green energy grant despite the fact that it was founded months earlier in late 2023 and never managed anywhere near the grant’s dollar figure—it reported just $100 in total revenue during its first three months in operation, according to its latest tax filings.

Power Forward Communities’ grant was one of just eight Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grants that the EPA doled out in April 2024 and that, altogether, totaled $20 billion. EPA administrator Lee Zeldin announced on Feb. 13 that his staff and Department of Government Efficiency officials discovered that the Biden administration parked that same $20 billion at an outside financial institution before leaving office, limiting the federal government’s oversight of the program.

Stacey Abrams’ Power Forward Communities received $2 BILLION to be a pass through entity for Biden EPA’s $20 billion “gold bar” scheme.

They reported just $100 in total revenue after their founding in late 2023.

I have been calling for an audit for Fort Knox for over a year. The last reported audit of Fort Knox was in 1974. That lack of transparency means our own government, as expected, is up to no good. How much gold do we have and does it really matter? The answer to those to questions is, we don’t really know and most certainly yes.

At first I assumed our gold had been raided. Stolen from the American tax payer, like all the other money we are finding our lawmakers and bureaucrats wasted and abused. But there is another option here that no one is considering, the U.S. Government has been hoarding gold over the past decades, slowly selling it off at a deep discount to well connected global elites.

Fort Knox may be continuing to increase its stock piles in preparation of a global financial catastrophe, orchestrated by a cabal of “Deep State” elites whose sole goal is bring America to its knees. But don’t think the gold will benefit us, it won’t.

With no audit or real knowledge of just how much gold we have, the stock pile could be raided for the financial gain of the very nefarious characters who created the collapse in the first place. Under my scenario the price of gold would sky rocket.  The scary part is, this is not the first time a scenario like this unfolded.  In this podcast you will hear the story of the Rockefeller Family buying gold from the Federal Reserve at “bargain basement” pricing.

We do have evidence gold is being flown to Fort Knox daily. The DOGE team needs to gain immediate access to Fort Knox to audit America’s gold stockpile now.

In a bombshell revelation, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has exposed a shocking level of federal spending abuse, revealing that the U.S. government has over 4.6 million active credit cards in circulation, processing a staggering 90 million transactions worth nearly $40 billion in Fiscal Year 2024 alone.

DOGE, the new federal watchdog agency established under President Donald Trump, posted its findings on X on Tuesday, accompanied by a breakdown of federal agency expenditures.

“The US government currently has ~4.6M active credit cards/accounts, which processed ~90M unique transactions for ~$40B of spend in FY24. DOGE is working w/ the agencies to simplify the program and reduce admin costs – we will report back in 1 week,” the account wrote.

Leading the charge in spending? None other than the Department of Defense (DOD), which boasts roughly 2.4 million individual accounts and a jaw-dropping 27.2 million transactions in just one fiscal year.

In response to DOGE’s report, President Trump issued a scathing memo on Tuesday, ordering all government agencies to implement “radical transparency” when it comes to spending taxpayer money.

The statement reads:

The United States Government spends too much money on programs, contracts, and grants that do not promote the interests of the American people.

For too long, taxpayers have subsidized ideological projects overseas and domestic organizations engaged in actions that undermine the national interest.

The American people have seen their tax dollars used to fund the passion projects of unelected bureaucrats rather than to advance the national interest.  The American people have a right to see how the Federal Government has wasted their hard-earned wages.

I therefore direct the heads of executive departments and agencies (agencies) to take all appropriate actions to make public, to the maximum extent permitted by law and as the heads of agencies deem appropriate to promote the policies of my Administration, the complete details of every terminated program, cancelled contract, terminated grant, or any other discontinued obligation of Federal funds.

Agencies shall ensure that such publication occurs in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the underlying contract, grant, or other award.

DOGE’s revelations are just the tip of the iceberg, and as Musk and Trump continue to dig deeper, expect more shocking disclosures about how Washington elites have been abusing YOUR tax dollars.

ABC News is making the wrong kind of headlines.

The network caught a storm of flack Tuesday over a post on the social media platform X about the latest expected return of hostages taken by the terrorist group Hamas during its Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel.

The ABC post labeled some of the hostages “deceased,” a choice of words that ignited the internet.

BREAKING: Hamas will release the bodies of four deceased hostages on Thursday and six living hostages on Saturday, Hamas and Israel confirmed.

Four more dead hostages will be released next week, according to Israel.

“BREAKING: Hamas will release the bodies of four deceased hostages on Thursday and six living hostages on Saturday, Hamas and Israel confirmed,” the post said.

“Four more dead hostages will be released next week, according to Israel.”

In a responding post, Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, slammed the deliberately cloudy language.

“Do you mean ‘murdered,’ @ABC?” he wrote.

“Civilian hostages, little children, murdered by the evil, brutal scum of Hamas.”

“Deceased”

“Dead”

Lee was far from alone. As of late Tuesday afternoon, the post had been viewed more than 750,000 times and had received more than 1,300 responses. Virtually all of them damned the network’s obfuscation of reality.

Deceased?

— Catturd (@catturd2) February 18, 2025

The identities of the dead were not included in ABC’s report, but CNN reported that two of the four were brothers Kfir and Ariel Bibas, who were 9 months old and 3 years old when Hamas savages captured them during the single deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust.

Nikki Haley, former United Nations ambassador and former South Carolina governor, was enraged with the network.

“Shame on any media outlet that can’t call this what it is, murder,” she wrote.

“Two innocent babies, their mother, and others did not simply ‘die’. They were kidnapped, murdered, and their bodies were held as bargaining chips by terrorists.”

There’s no question this was no accident — and it’s almost certain that ABC’s social media writers and editors anguished over precisely the right term to use to describe a formerly living human being who was taken captive by a bloodthirsty terrorist organization and, as a result, can no longer be counted among the quick.

“Deceased” and “dead” are technically correct terms to describe humans who no longer have a pulse. But context matters when it comes to truth. And context matters a great deal when it comes to the Bibas boys and their mother, Shiri.

(The boys’ father, Yarden Bibas, is a former Hamas hostage who was freed Feb. 1. He had no knowledge that his wife and sons were dead, according to The Times of Israel.)

The Israeli prime minister’s office used the word “slain” to describe the victims whose remains are due to be released, according to CNN. But ABC apparently couldn’t bring itself to say even that.

Hamas claimed Kfir, Ariel and Shiri were killed in an Israeli airstrike in November 2023, CNN reported. Even if that’s true — and no Hamas statement can be taken at face value — they were present in Gaza because Hamas had abducted them. Israel was launching airstrikes on Gaza because of the war Hamas started.

That puts their deaths on the heads of Hamas. It also puts Western liberals — the kind who flooded American campuses with pro-Hamas demonstrations last year — on the side of their killers.

And it exposed how a news media organization like ABC, ostensibly devoted to bringing its customers an accurate picture of world events, has allowed itself to become a shill for what can only be described as evil.

Don’t expect to see that word from ABC either.
