VIDEOPhillip Patrick: “No Nation In History Has Come Back From A Debt Position Like We Are In”
All over America supporters of Donald Trump are riding high. Trump is in the White House. A new day has dawned. Common sense has returned. Illegals are being rounded up, and we can all breathe easy again.
Not so fast. We won a battle. This is a long war, and the guys on the other side have no intention of simply packing up and going home.
David A. Lebryk was until yesterday the Fiscal Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. He was a “non-political” civil servant who controlled the computerized payment system the government uses to pay out $6 trillion a year. He was the guy who actually controlled all the money the federal government spent, where it went, and to whom.
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, directed Lebryk to give the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) headed by Elon Musk access to the payment system. The intent was to allow individuals with DOGE to see where all this money was going, how it was being accounted for, etc.
Lebryk refused. Let’s be clear. He did not refuse to comply with some instruction Musk or his people came up with on their own. He refused to comply with a direct order from the President of the United States. When it became clear Trump was serious, Lebryk resigned instead.
The office Lebryk ran pays out trillions of dollars a year. DOGE began asking for access to the payment system immediately after Trump was inaugurated. Lebryk, a supposedly non-partisan career employee, simply refused to comply. He didn’t think the President of the United States had any business snooping into how he did his job.
The secure payment system in question is run by something called the Bureau of Fiscal Service. These guys make something like 90% of the payments made by the U.S. Government. And, here’s the kicker. They don’t ever stop payments. They just cut checks.
Sen. Rand Paul released a report on Monday outlining more than $1 trillion in government waste from the past year.
The 2024 “Festivus” report highlighted various instances of wasteful government spending from the federal government, including a pickleball complex in Las Vegas and a cabaret show on ice. This year marks Paul’s 10th annual report.
“This year, I am highlighting a whopping $1,008,313,329,626.12,” Paul, R-Ky., wrote in the report. “That’s over $1 trillion in government waste, including things like ice-skating drag queens, a $12 million Las Vegas pickleball complex, $4,840,082 on Ukrainian influencers, and more! No matter how much money the government has wasted, politicians keep demanding even more.”
The Department of the Interior spent $12 million on the Las Vegas pickleball complex, according to the report. Interior also spent $720,479 on wetland conservation projects for ducks in Mexico.
“I have a lot of problems with federal spending, and now it’s time to hear all about them,” Paul wrote in the report.
The National Endowment for the Arts awarded the Bearded Ladies Cabaret a $10,000 grant to support a cabaret show on ice skates focused on climate change, according to the report. The NEA also spent $365,000 to promote circuses in city parks, the report states.
Thanks to one of our conservative ladies for sharing this information with us. Nancy
I went to Harris Teeter today and while they are asking customers if they want to round up to support Hurricane Helen victims, the money goes to the Red Cross. I did a bit of research, knowing what I do about the Red Cross. The irony is Red Cross is a FEMA partner and partially responsible for FEMA not having funds to support Hurricane Helen relief.The House Oversight Committee opened a probe in May to look into FEMA’s misuse of funds to “incentivize illegal immigration. The Red Cross is identified as a facilitator. Other sources show Red Cross takes the FEMA money and distributes it to NGO’s that support illegal migration to/in the US.PLEASE CLICK ON THE LINK FOR INFORMATION RE THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT PROBE

Someday is today. Our freedoms are gone. Bannon is in prison, and the Democratic Party is trying to imprison Donald J. Trump. Don’t sit in your basement and go into a fetal position. Get up, move, and do something to help us win.
Remember your high school economics class? Well, this isn’t your teacher’s dull lecture; it’s real talk about why the proposal to tax unrealized capital gains is a disaster waiting to happen. I’ll break it down using a story that might sound familiar—Mamaw’s house. Imagine the government swooping in to tax gains she hasn’t even cashed in on yet. Where’s she supposed to find the money for that? Spoiler alert: It’s not as simple as they make it sound. If this passes, it’s not just the rich getting hit—it could be you, your family, and your future. If you care about your financial future (or your Mamaw’s), you’ll want to hear this. Don’t miss it—click play to find out what’s really going on and why we need to push back against these bad policies!
Covid Relief Money Paid for a Water Park and Luxury Hotels
The Danville Aquatic Center in Central Illinois cost $13 million, courtesy of the federal taxpayer.

If you were looking for a family-friendly escape from the heat this summer, you should have checked out the new aquatic center in Danville, Ill. While the Central Illinois town may not ring a bell, what should catch your attention is that you helped pay for Danville’s splashy venture—thanks to a cool $13 million injection from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
While facilities like the Danville Aquatic Center will likely provide enjoyment for area residents for years, such expenses aren’t a smart use of federal taxpayer dollars, especially considering that the funds that built the new water park were intended for Covid-19 recovery efforts. Unfortunately, this questionable expenditure represents a small fraction of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.
The law also allocates $350 billion specifically for emergency funding to state, local and tribal governments. This particular pool of money has bankrolled many projects like the Danville Aquatic Center. It’s a spending spree that should upset all taxpayers, as such projects demonstrate a complete lack of oversight and blatant misuse of funds intended to accelerate the nation’s economic rebound.
Danville, population 28,000, is far from alone in this trend of inefficient spending. Across the country, American Rescue Plan funds have been used in questionable ways. In New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy spent $15 million on promotional efforts to attract soccer’s 2026 World Cup to the state. Maine used $20 million to modernize fish hatcheries, while North Carolina dedicated $5 million for the development of moonshine walking trails. Arizona spent $7 million to boost horse racing. New York paid $2 million to plant 3,600 trees. And Broward County, Fla., commissioners doled out more than $140 million to build a 29-story luxury hotel.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority called off contract negotiations with three wind developers after turbine manufacturer GE Vernova said it couldn’t deliver 18-megawatt turbines for the projects. As a result, the projects would have to be redesigned with more and smaller turbines that would make them noneconomic.
GE’s renewable business had planned to produce the 18-megawatt turbines but last year decided to limit turbines to a maximum of 16.5 megawatts, according to Bloomberg News. Bigger and more powerful turbines have recently been toppling over, requiring expensive repairs. This is one reason GE’s renewable business lost $1.44 billion last year, which was an improvement on its $2.24 billion loss in 2022.
The offshore wind industry received a strong tailwind from the Inflation Reduction Act, which included tax credits that cover 30% or more of a project’s cost. The law also subsidized the domestic manufacturing of components, which New York’s wind developers and their suppliers planned to exploit by making parts at new plants in the state.

So the overspending adding more to the National Debt goes on without securing the border or demanding accountability for spending in areas which are anti-American, anti-Constitution, immoral, promote the LGBTQ agenda and/or not in best national interests of the United States or the safety of its citizens.Royal A.
