Top 20 Insanities DOGE has uncovered... so far.

Well, I’ve been Grokking. Trying to discover the worst abuses of the last Democrat administration. Which explains me having to use Grok. One requires an advanced AI to understand the vast landscape of Democrat graft.

And let’s all admit: this corruption became industrialized under a senile and titular head.


So here’s a Hall of Flame - a Top 20 abuses of our tax dollars DOGE has discovered over the last 30 days.


#1 - Stacey Abrams/Power Forward Communities $2 Billion Grant (2025)

  • DOGE uncovered $2 billion in taxpayer funds allocated to Power Forward Communities, tied to Stacey Abrams via Rewiring America, from a $20 billion EPA grant in April 2024. With $100 in revenue, it’s under scrutiny for potential fraud.
  • $2 billion for a nonprofit with $100 in the bank? Hope they invested in a nice logo.

Top 20 Deep State Revelations from Mike Benz

The Blob vs. the Bill of Rights


The Mike Benz interview on The Joe Rogan Experience (#2237) delivered a masterclass in exposing the tangled web of government censorship, deep state schemes, and a systemic erosion of our First Amendment rights.


I'm guessing you’ve heard about USAID paying for terrorist attacks and funding various proxy wars. But here are 20 of the most startling revelations exposing our DC elites as losers, criminals or something altogether worse. 


1. Free Speech? Only for the "Rules-Based Order"

Benz reveals that post-1948, the U.S. government embraced "free speech" globally as a soft power tool to topple regimes—until it backfired with populism. Now, free speech is a threat to democracy, apparently. How quaint that the First Amendment, once a shield for dissent, is now a liability to the blob's global chess game.
