The DOGE Days of Winter
This article was commissioned by Intercessors for America and first appeared there.
In the early 2000s, long before his first Presidential bid, if asked to describe two words that Donald Trump was famous for, many would have immediately said, "You're fired!" Call it prophetic or call it full circle; he's making these words great again—and his opponents are apoplectic about it.
President Trump vowed that if he were re-elected, he would employ Elon Musk to head up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which would have the sole purpose of identifying fiscal waste, uncovering corruption and malfeasance, and eradicate it from our system. Yes, it's "our system," not theirs.
One reason for the apoplexy is that President Trump is delivering bigly on this campaign promise. His opponents were counting on an unwritten rule of elections: The winner would wag enough dogs in the first year so that no one would remember the campaign promises. Not so, in this President's case. It's only been one month, and he is sprinting out of the starting blocks, making good on his pledges to We The People. DOGE is at the top of the priority list.
Strategically, the President's adversaries are forced into a no-win situation. To decry and bemoan opposition to eliminating government waste places them in the unseemly position of standing on the side of fraud, money laundering, and a private sector white-collar criminal enterprise never before imagined. (Unless you are Senator John Fetterman, then it's called a Carhartt Hoodie criminal enterprise.)
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has promised full transparency and disclosure as the DOGE team does their due diligence. Here are a few lowlights:
7.9 million dollars to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary gender language.
45 million to combat disinformation in Kazakstan.
2 million for sex change operations and LGBTQ activism in Guatemala.
2.1 million for the BBC to value the diversity of the Libyan society.
10 million of USAID-funded meals, which ended up in Al Qaeda training camps.
1.5 million to an Armenian LGBTQ group.
5 million to Jamaica to promote LGBTQ equity.
5.5 million to Uganda for LGBTQ activism.
This list is but a snowflake atop the iceberg, yet it already makes us wonder if DOGE stands for the Display of Global Embarrassment. However, there is a critical point to be aware of before moving on to the big-ticket items.
Years ago, we were warned that Environmental Social Governance (ESG) would be implemented in every segment of society, similar to the Chinese Social Credit System. With neither a vote nor a debate, ESG is now firmly embedded into our financial systems and is weaponized against conservatives, traditionalists, and people of faith.
The Left has continually chided conservatives that DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) does not exist but is merely a figment of their pigment privilege. This is false because DOGE is uncovering a staggering amount of DEI initiatives systemically embedded throughout government systems and programs.
DEI is the “S” in ESG. This is vital to understand because DEI is not a noble program designed to lift the marginalized. DEI and its evil parent, ESG, are tools in the hands of the oligarchical globalists who have been trained, dispatched, and embedded in positions of power all over the world by the World Economic Forum.
DOGE needs to deracinate all funding for DEI initiatives.
The Big Ticket Items
To satisfy their mandate of full transparency and disclosure, DOGE set up a website to track the details of their progress. Visit www.doge.gov and hold on to your hat.
Once on the site, you can view the wildly informative posts made daily on X. By clicking on Save, you are presented with an updated list of how much money is being saved by DOGE and where it is being cut. By clicking on Spend, you are presented with a list of each government agency and how much money they spend.
I'll give you time to find your hat.
USAID (United States Agency for International Development) is in the news as this is one of the first behemoths Musk is slaying. While the corporate media insists that USAID is as holy as Mother Theresa, what they don't tell you is there is a dollar sign to her left and a dozen zeroes to her right.
The oligarchs are trembling because it's being discovered that USAID may be one of the world's largest operations for money laundering, embezzlement, and human trafficking. Larry Alex Taunton, who is a blend of James O'Keefe and Indiana Jones, does remarkable investigative work on both the World Economic Forum and the migration crisis.
Taunton has spent a great deal of time in South and Central American countries following the pathways of the migrant caravans. USAID is actively funding the coordination and logistics of moving millions of illegal migrants into the U.S.
USAID does not reside under a specific government agency but instead operates under the policy guidance of the Secretary of State. USAID was created in 1961 via the Executive Order of President Kennedy, and it is entirely legal for it to be closed via the Executive Order of this President.
There are certainly many more surprises to come. DOGE discovered there are 8.6 million Social Security Numbers in the system for “people” ages 110 to 150. DOGE will determine how many are receiving active payments, how many have been issued to illegal immigrants to receive benefits, and how many may be phantom numbers kept active for unknown reasons.
DOGE is learning that almost half of the 250 billion dollars sent to Ukraine is unaccounted for and that the Pentagon's 850 billion dollar budget has not passed a basic audit. We can only imagine what will be discovered as DOGE works its way through the 1.72 trillion dollar budget of the Department of Health and Human Services, where three-ring-letter circuses like the NIH, CDC, and FDA reside.
We all need to pray for DOGE.
The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but an accurate measure is His delight.
~ Proverbs 11:1
May we all be found on the side of honest scales, righteous measures, and virtuous handling of our nation's wealth, which all belongs to the Lord.
