HOW TO READ THE DATA: TURNING POINT DOES NOT RECEIVE USAID DOLLARS
USAID grant money is everywhere. It’s so deeply woven into the nonprofit world that tracing it is like testing $100 bills for cocaine—at a certain scale, every charity has some residue.

That’s why the disclaimer at the top of the website exists:

**"NOTE: Funding is fungible, meaning USAID dollars do not directly flow into these NGOs in a literal sense. Instead, the money moves through multiple layers, with various entities handling and redistributing it.

Rather than focusing solely on individual grants or making definitive statements about how NGOs benefit from USAID, it’s more important to recognize the broader pattern of funding distribution and influence—and to cut through the layers of unaccountability."**

So, how do you determine if an NGO is truly dependent on USAID money? Context matters.

Let’s go back to the cocaine analogy: Every $100 bill has trace amounts, but a drug dealer’s cash will be covered in it. The same logic applies here.

Look at the graph on the left. That’s Defending Democracy Together Institute, Bill Kristol’s group. Over half of their funding comes from major grants. That’s a lot of cocaine.

Now, compare it to Turning Point USA on the right. Their USAID connections are multiple hops away and bottlenecked by the smallest possible intermediary grants. Even with the most extreme assumptions, only 0.2% of their funding could possibly come from this path.

This isn’t just theory for me. I worked with Charlie Kirk during the 2024 election on early voting analysis. I saw firsthand how his operation worked, and I can say with confidence: President Trump would not have won re-election without him. He flipped voter registrations on their head and made a direct push for young male voters.

Bottom line: These graphs are tools, not verdicts. Use them wisely.

They stole 2020 and believed they could jail Trump or bankrupt him and take 2024 and never have to divulge these email while making the US into a 3rd world shithole. Now, they are trying to get ahead of the DOGE train, RFKjr and Big Balls.

THE MACHINE FIGHTS BACK
When DOGE found empty fields in Treasury's payment system, they uncovered more than missing data. They found a mechanism.
Simple things were left blank:
Payment categories
Payment rationales
Basic audit controls
The kind of fields any small business would require. The kind that let you track where money goes. The kind that stop a billion dollars of fraud. Every week.
Here's what Treasury didn't want exposed:
Over $100 billion flowing annually to accounts without Social Security numbers. No temporary ID numbers. No verification. Nothing. When Musk asked Treasury officials how much was "unequivocal and obvious fraud," the answer revealed decades of corruption: Half.
Let that sink in.
$50 billion per year.
A billion dollars every week disappearing into accounts that shouldn't exist.
The kind of fraud that would shut down any bank in America. The kind that would land any business owner in federal prison.
But Treasury had perfected its system:
Process payments
Ignore controls
Keep the machine running
Late last week, something shifted.
A judge's order appeared, ex parte—meaning only one side could speak. No warning. No defense allowed. Just a wall erected between Treasury officials and their own department's data.
Look at the numbers. Really look at them.
Treasury bleeds 23.87% of its budget to waste, fraud, and abuse.
Almost a quarter, vanishing into what auditors politely call "mismanagement." More than Labor at 11%. More than Veterans Affairs at 10%. More than Agriculture at 9%.
More than Defense Department's 1.85%. More than Homeland Security's 0.89%.
A pattern emerges. The deeper you go into Treasury's operations, the more the waste grows. The more controls vanish. The more fraud flourishes.
Until now.
"Everything at Treasury was geared towards complaint minimization," Musk revealed after meeting with officials. Not accuracy. Not accountability. Not protecting taxpayer dollars. Just keeping the machine quiet.
This wasn't incompetence. This was design. Previous management had built a perfect system: Let the fraudsters complain. Let them threaten. Let them pressure. Easier to process bad payments than face their wrath.
Think about that calculation. A billion dollars of fraud every week was deemed less costly than dealing with complaints from people gaming the system.
That's how machines like this protect themselves. Not through efficiency. Not through good management. But through the path of least resistance. Through empty fields and missing controls and payments without Social Security numbers. Through a quarter of their budget disappearing into the void.
Until someone starts asking where it goes.
The system's response was swift.
Coordinated.
Precise.
Nineteen Democratic state attorneys general filed suit. Not about the fraud. Not about the waste. Not about billions vanishing into accounts without SSNs. But about "protecting" the Treasury Department from its own Secretary.
A judge in New York responded with something unprecedented: an ex parte order blocking Treasury officials from accessing their own department's data. No warning. No chance to respond. No opportunity to present evidence. Just a wall between the people elected to fix the system and the system itself.
Think about what that means: The Secretary of the Treasury—effectively the CFO of the United States government—legally barred from seeing how money moves through his own department. The people's appointee blocked from viewing the people's accounts. Young coders mapping the missing controls ordered to stop looking.
The MACHINE has judges. Has lawyers. Has media. Has entire states moving in coordination.
But here's what makes this time different: The DOGE clock keeps ticking.
$74 billion saved and counting.
Each number representing not just dollars, but holes in the machine.
Gaps in the armor.
Places where light gets in.
They can file motions.
Can issue orders.
Can build blockades.
But they can't make those empty fields disappear. Can't hide a quarter of Treasury's budget vanishing into the void. Can't stop what happens when people finally see truth.
This isn't about spreadsheets anymore. This isn't about waste or controls or management. This is about who controls the machine.
Because when you find something like empty fields in Treasury's payment system, you're not just finding missing data. You're finding purpose. When basic controls sit blank while billions vanish weekly, that's not incompetence. That's design.
The machine is fighting back.
But this time, it's fighting years and years and years of gathered light. Now activated.
And summer is coming.

If I am reading this correctly, Elon has found that money was not appropriated incorrectly but that the system was designed to commit fraud intentionally. If this is the case, it will go to the DOJ and a Grand Jury, and all these judges putting out orders to stop President Trump and Elon will not or can't be involved.



to financial loopholes, the biggest scams don’t happen by accident. They happen because the system allows them to. Time to ask: Who benefits from all this fraud?

I'm sure the Trump team has thought about everything. Of paramount importance is to go to every recipient of improper money and tell them they have 10 days to return their ill-gotten handouts or face being criminally prosecuted by the DOJ...or both. Use every technique to not have Grand Juries or trials in DC or NY.

Improper English is common place. What does anyone expect with our education system?

it's ridiculous for the minority, for a committee where every Democrat and every Republican voted for this nominee, to have even one minute of debate. It ought to be approved by unanimous consent..We shouldn't be spending 30 hours of debate on somebody that's been approved unanimously by the Agriculture Committee.

We need an FBI Director more than this guy.

The delay on Patel's nomination is deliberate. They know once he gets in place all Hell will break loose. The 2000 JFK email release and more is being done to get ahead of Patel. They are using the interim director (a squish) to sanitize as much as possible before Patel.
