This is our taxpayer money that our government wasted while citizens who lost their homes in western North Carolina are homeless and Los Angeles burns with water reservoirs depleted and unable to put out the fires to save homes. There are so many ways our government can truly help its citizens and yet this is just a few examples of where they waste our taxpayer $$$. Nancy
Rand Paul’s Report Details $1 Trillion in Gov’t Waste. Here Are the Worst Offenders.
December 27, 2024
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.

In the above report: A recent media report outlines how the American Red Cross is contributing to—not helping to alleviate—illegal immigration. In addition to the American Red Cross working to facilitate migrants’ journeys to the southwest border, a DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) report questions FEMA’s oversight of EFSP reimbursements in general.

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.

More tax dollars thrown down the green energy pipe dream – Drill, Baby Drill !!! Nancy
Gone With the New York Wind
Three more offshore windmill projects hit the rocks, despite subsidies.
April 22, 2024 By The Editorial Board
Is offshore wind a perennial infant industry? Despite receiving countless billions of dollars in subsidies over the last few decades, these energy projects are still failing to launch. On Friday three New York offshore wind projects hit the rocks owing to rising costs and technical snafus.
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.

Thanks to Royal Brown of Florida for sharing this information with us on the recently passed $1.2 trillion Omnibus Spending Bill. Democrats do this to Republicans every time – wait till the last minute to bring forward a huge spending bill packed with pork for their Democrat pet projects. A government shut down is threatened if Republicans don’t cave and surprise, surprise, the Republicans fall for it every time. 
Nancy
The terrible 1,200+ page $1.2 T Omnibus Spending Bill passed March 22 once again increasing the National Debt; funding most of Democrat agenda and made very few cuts or needed increases needed for a true conservative Republican agenda. Beijing Joe Biden and Chuck U Schumer put it over on House Speaker Mike Johnson who along with another 100 Republicans voted to pass this bill. See a partial list of the bad spending at link that follows:
The omnibus bill passed through the
Senate with a
68-29 vote. The 68 Senators who voted in favor of passing the bill included
18 Republicans. Both FL Senators Rubio and Scott correctly voted NO on the bill.

Full list of Republican senators who voted to pass $1.7T omnibus bill
The final vote was 68-29, with 18 Republicans joining all Democrats in passing the bill through the Senate.

Following is a list of the 18 Republican Senators who voted in favor of this bad bill (most are usual suspects e.g. establishment, ruling class, elitist, neo-con RINOs):
- Roy Blunt (Missouri)
- John Boozman (Arkansas)
- Shelley Capito (West Virginia)
- Susan Collins (Maine)
- John Cornyn (Texas)
- Tom Cotton (Arkansas)
- Lindsey Graham (South Carolina)
- Jim Inhofe (Oklahoma)
- Mitch McConnell (Kentucky)
- Jerry Moran (Kansas)
- Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
- Rob Portman (Ohio)
- Mitt Romney (Utah)
- Mike Rounds (South Dakota)
- Richard Shelby (Alabama)
- John Thune (South Dakota)
- Roger Wicker (Mississippi)
- Todd Young (Indiana)
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.

Democrats certainly do have a knack for destroying everything they touch ! Nancy
California is not all right
March 23, 2024
Despite stubbornly high inflation and record-high credit card debt, the economy added 2.7 million jobs last year while unemployment hovered just below 4%. But not all states did as well. California, the gem of Democratic uniparty governance, added just 154,000 jobs, and joblessness stagnated above 5%.
While states such as Florida and Texas grew their workforce by 3.4% and 3.3%, respectively, California’s grew by just 0.87%. All this was while the state budget deficit ballooned to a record $73 billion as revenues from personal income tax collection dropped by 25%.
Why is California’s economy sputtering while the rest of the nation moves ahead?
The simplest answer is that California’s population is shrinking. After more than 100 years of steady growth, California is exporting more people than it is importing. The state continues to have golden sunshine, natural beauty, and warm winters, but bad policy decisions by Democratic politicians who run the state mean people simply don’t want to live there anymore.
The biggest reason people are leaving is the cost of housing. On the coast where the best jobs are, California has some of the most expensive housing in the nation. To afford a median-priced home in San Francisco, a household needs to make $400,000 a year. Actual households in San Francisco make just one-third of that: $136,000.
California’s housing crisis is due to excessive environmental regulation, which makes it impossible to build new homes. While California built just fewer than 120,000 new homes in 2020, Texas built more than 260,000.

“Twitter Files” Reporter Matt Taibbi Uncovers Plot To Stop Trump, Democracy Be Damned
Posted on Monday, January 29, 2024

AMAC Exclusive – By Shane Harris
In a pair of articles on his Racket News website, “Twitter Files” reporter Matt Taibbi uncovers corrupt, systematic, and longstanding efforts by leading Democrats to stop the election of Donald J. Trump in 2024 or, at a minimum, cripple his presidency before it can get off the ground.
Taibbi, who, it should be noted, was once a darling of the progressive left while working as a columnist for the New York Press and Rolling Stone, has in recent years become one of the left’s top critics as an independent investigative journalist. He and fellow disaffected liberal Michael Shellenberger have broken major stories about the federal government’s involvement in online censorship on issues like pandemic lockdown policies and the 2020 election as part of their “Twitter Files” coverage, and Taibbi has become a leading detractor of the corporate media and the political establishment in both parties.
In his most recent work, a 4,200 word article that should have every American citizen concerned about the future of free and fair elections in the United States, Taibbi writes, “The 2024 presidential race increasingly looks like it will be decided by lawyers, not voters, as Democrats unveil plans for America’s first lawfare election… To ‘protect democracy,’ democracy is already being canceled. We just haven’t admitted the implications of this to ourselves yet.”
As Taibbi outlines, the Democrat establishment is already engaged in a systematic effort to ensure that Biden remains in the White House beyond 2024. One part of this effort is the series of lawsuits in a number of states to remove Trump from the ballot. Another is ensuring that Biden has no serious primary threat – something which has, according to Taibbi’s sources, been accomplished through threatening would-be challengers.
Meanwhile, the corporate media has launched a propaganda campaign to convince the American people that Trump would be a “dictator” were he to win this fall. Mainstream pundits and journalists have in unison begun hammering the line that Trump is an “existential threat to democracy” and suggesting that Trump would use the military to go after his personal enemies.
Most chillingly, as Taibbi describes, we’ve seen this same sort of effort before. As he relays and as many major news outlets reported in the months leading up to the 2020 election, a group called the “Transition Integrity Project” (TIP) – comprised of top power players in Democrat circles like current Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm and Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta, as well as nominal “conservatives” who had become anti-Trump fanatics – had gathered to “wargame” contested election scenarios.

Another excellent article by Sam Faddis. There are videos in this article so you may have to click on the link below to view the videos. Nancy
If you prefer to read this article on our site, click here. Don’t forget to check out all our content on Substack, including our In The News articles.
EXCERPTS FROM THIS ARTICLE: Your tax dollars are not paying for border defenses. They are paying for bigger camps so more people can be pushed through into the United States. They are paying for something called ‘safe mobility centers’ throughout Central America to speed up the movement of illegals north.
The Biden administration failed to remove through immigration court proceedings, 99.73 percent of illegal aliens released into the United States during President Biden’s first 26 months in office.
Two new camps are currently under construction in Panama. They will be operated by the United Nations (UN) and affiliated NGOs. Much of the funding is coming from the United States. The purpose of the new camps is to make sure more illegals can be pushed through and make it to the United States.
The centerpiece of this conference was the concept of climate refugees. What that boils down to is this. Climate change is dogma and cannot be questioned. The whole world is impacted by climate change. If you are impacted by climate change you can claim refugee status and demand the right to migrate wherever you choose.
Everyone is now a refugee. Borders no longer exist.
