    Government credit cards
    DOGE has revealed that there are over 4 million government issued credit cards used by swamp critters . Approximately 90 million transactions, amounting to around $40 billion in spending was for the fiscal year 2024.

    The Department of Defense was the biggest abuser . The IG of the Defense Department woke up and decided to audit the use of travel credit cards

    (U) Audit of the DoD Government Travel Charge Card Program: The Visa IntelliLink Compliance Management System

    This is what was found .

    • $387,642.66 blown at casinos and mobile app stores—think slot machines and Candy Crush, courtesy of taxpayers.
    • $112,484.69 racked up at bars, lounges, and nightclubs, with spikes during holidays and big games like the Super Bowl.
    • A staggering 3.9 million transactions worth $1.2 BILLION left unchecked because no one bothered to look.

    To put this in perspective ;the cost of an F-35 fighter jet is $109 million.

    Did I forget to mention this ? Not only was the system used by military staff to party hearty on the taxpayer dime . It was also used by Intel staff to chat about their perversions.

    Tulsi Gabbard is on the case .
    The chat program was administered by the National Security Agency and intended for discussions of sensitive security matters. But a group of employees used it for discussions that contained sexual themes, intelligence officials said this week. The chats also included explicit discussion of gender transition surgery, officials said.
    Transcripts of the chat were first disclosed Monday by Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist who writes for City Journal.
    Appearing Tuesday evening on Fox News, Ms. Gabbard said she had issued a directive to fire more than 100 people who participated in the discussions and to strip the officers of their security clearances. She said the chats were an “egregious violation of trust” that violated “basic rules and standards” of workplace professionalism.

    Can't help but wonder what Wondergirl thinks about all of this. She seems to have gone permanently silent at AMHD.
