The spirit of the 1st amendment is to allow citizens to talk shit and criticize if they disagree with the facts....the right to protest, etc.....

I'm fairly sure the spirit of the 1st amendment is not to have everyone making up lies just to get people riled up so they hate each other.

Some (not all) of the older generations can sift through the bullshit to some extent. The younger generations believe everything they see posted on tiktok.


If I knew how to use TikTok, (or instawhatever or half the other bullshit out there), I could make a video talking shit about "Regor on RDP" telling everyone he's a bleeding heart liberal and sucks Trudeau's cock these days since Biden can't remember where he put his viagra and half the world would be here trying to burn him at the stake.

.....and I should have my ass kicked for that, repeatedly, because it's not exactly accurate.

I am tired of watching and listening to people on the side I have chosen not deliver receipts (lifted that from Dan Bongino). I voted for and support the Trump administration and believe what they are doing is what is needed to save our country, but I want to see indisputable evidence soon.

Trump and team ran on it, I approve of everything he is doing right now but he and his administration need to show the US population absolute proof of the financial waste, deep state regime change focus that has been turned inwards on the US in order to maintain as well as justify his presidency. I understand it's early, but this is needed to keep up the momentum. If not, support will fall by the wayside very quickly.

The interruption in the status quo is currently and will continue with financial pain for US citizens, if the pain is irrefutably justified most people with common sense will deal with it with the understanding it will make the US stronger and better for us and our children. THAT is Trumps next hurdle to execute. Deliver the receipts of waste and attempts by foreign nations to topple the US.

This is one of the most popular podcasts on YouTube. The host is a former SEAL and it is also one of the podcasts that Trump went on leading up to the election. This is not a Tik Tok video. There are other sources out there that have connected USAID to funding BLM as well. People on here can do their homework if they want to try and verify what's true and what's not.

It's popular because it tells people what they want to hear to justify their position. The burden of proof lies on the person making the claims.....show us the data

I am completely behind cutting spending regardless of the agency to include defense. But I understand the difference between fraud which is a violation of law and “waste” which is a legal difference of political priorities.

The risk is that when one sides calls differences in political priorities a criminal activity such as fraud they create an eventual disbelief of their activities.

Why not just call giving money for whatever it is that a majority of people would roll theirs eyes at as wasteful spending. Call it unnecessary spending and a total waste, point it out and stop it.

But referring to waste and the stupid spending of taxpayer money as a criminal activity such as fraud, eventually erodes trust and credibility in doing the right thing which is balancing the budget.

There is certainly some fraud which should be prosecuted. But very little compared to simply wasteful unnecessary spending. Call it what it is without hyperbole or drama.

I am not making any claims. I posted a video, and people can do what they will with the information. There is more information out there and people can do their own homework.

As far as BLM, here is another source:


The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) issued a $24.7 million grant to the George Soros-funded Tides Center, which then funneled millions of taxpayer funds to the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. Tides granted more than $12.6 million from its Black Lives Matter Support Fund to help support BLM Grassroots during the height of the racial justice riots following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. BLM Grassroots is an organization that works with local Black Lives Matter chapters and similar racial justice groups.

The discovery was revealed after the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation sued the Tides Center in California court last year, accusing the nonprofit of withholding $33 million in donations to the foundation. Tides was forced to issue a clarification that the funds were intended for BLM Grassroots, which is a distinct organization separate from BLMGNF, and other racial justice groups. Tides, which manages roughly $1.4 billion in assets, said the amount awarded was $12.6 million, according to a statement issued to Bloomberg.

I was wondering when you would chime in and quote me to support your self centered political position.

So I will qualify my opinion to distance my view on politics from yours. When government employees responsible for spending our hard earned tax dollars rubber stamp payouts to wasteful expenditures ( trying to be objective) or knowingly spend our hard earned money on objectives that are deliberately intended to destroy the US it needs to be documented, articulated to the US public, tried in a court of law and if perps are convicted, every perp needs to be tried for treason. If convicted, they should be hung in a public court and hopefully the hanging should be on national tv.

Do you agree with this? I bet you do not.

It should be prosecutable to publish shit like this without citing sources

All the data is public. Benz worked for the state department, he knows his shit. Furthermore he is public and open with what he says and has been for years, and nobody has validly refuted anything he's claimed in all that time.

This man knows more about the inner workings of how the government is involved in censorship than anyone.

He was on Rogan 2 months ago talking about UDAID before it had any attention on it

I think one of the problems we are seeing is the difficulty of the burden of proof. Politically driven funding to BLM, Antifa or whoever, Is wasteful, but not exactly criminal. The burden of proof is showing how that money was used to create violence in the streets. If they can prove large funds were broken down into smaller sums, and then that money given to protestors, it is a criminal offense.

Was it done? Most assuredly. Can it be proven? Well, that's where things get sticky.

And again today....I can't remember the first time I heard him on a podcast, it was within the last 6 months, and it blew my mind wide open. Hopefully he is helping to guide the DOGErs

No I do not as I have worked for the government and been involved in government.

The hard fact is that each administration has their political goals as does each legislative body. And they use appropriations to further their goals.

I disagree with many of these goals as I would assume you do also. But that doesn’t make them illegal.

I supported individuals who demanded an end to earmarks as well as wasteful spending furthering political positions, basically that which you would call fraudulent spending, and was soundly derided in here for doing so.

Government employees rubber stamping wasteful spending enacted by congress and signed into law by the president is complying with the law. Attacking those who comply with the law versus those who passed those laws, as is your view, is antithetical to the rule of law.

If it's the government investigating something Trump did it's definitely "fraud" and "criminal". If it's Trump investigating something the government did it was just "waste" and a "policy difference"

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Chronic TDS

So tired of this crap about slavery. What about the chinese that built the railroads.
In the "Memoirs of Lewis Kingman", it was noted how much pay per day, depending on skin color. This was for cutting, grading and laying the tacks that parallel I-40. I can't remember the amounts now, but it went "White", "Black", Mexican/Indian (feather, not dot) and then Chinese. It was news to me, I was kind of told in school it was white and others...not broken down even more.

I think the programs you refer to as waste end up as fraud. For example, the 20 million for the Sesame Street show in Iran, did it ever get produced? How the fuck would we ever know? There is no one following up on the money given out, I’m sure all or most of these “waste “ programs turn to fraud because of no accountability. USaid was a rubber stamp for fraud. Don’t forget a second think these programs were to help people, always follow the money.

Your response is why no one respects you in the political forum. So...these Legistrators are not elected officials? Do they actually follow the constition and or do they delegate their responsibility to un elected mid level beuarocrats to guide US policy and expenditures?

Those mid level non elected beuarocrats as well as those elected politicians that over see the the non elected ( appointed non elected beuarocrats) need to be held accountable for their subordinates actions.

Do you agree?
