Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) laid out some of the most egregious discoveries of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), noting that the American people know exactly what Elon Musk is doing in weeding out the waste.
“Musk is doing what the American people have wanted for years,” Kennedy said in a Capitol Hill speech, laying out some of the shocking realities. “But in Washington, common sense is illegal.”
“They understand what Musk is doing,” he said of Americans who have suffered under Bidenflation. “They understand spending porn and wasting taxpayer money.” Kennedy said, describing it as “fascinating”:
Now. Mr. Musk started with the USAID that handles a lot of foreign aid for America. American people very generous. And in our country, you know, when you’re homeless, we’ll house you. When you’re when you’re hungry, we’ll feed you. In our country, when you’re too poor to be sick, we’ll pay for your doctor, and we send a lot of money overseas to help our world’s neighbors, and the USAID is in charge in large part of that. But I tell you what Mr. Musk discovered.
“He discovered that the American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan. He found that we are giving money to Yemen. He found that we are giving money to a Syria. I didn’t know that some of our foreign aid is going to Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria,” he began:
He found that the USAID has 10,000 people, 10,000 people employees, and every year they give away $40 billion. Mr. Musk also found — and I’m not saying that, that all of this money is wasteful … I’m sure does some goo. That’s why Secretary Rubio is going to revamp the department and separate the good from the bad. But this is the kind of stuff Mr. Musk found. He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam — our money, taxpayer money. He found that USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. I didn’t know that. I bet you, the American people didn’t know that. He found that the USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group … Anyway, they got $1.5 million to quote, advance diversity equity, inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities. […]
Americans have had to live through 20% inflation under Pres. Biden.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
