Treasury Stopped Nearly $100M in Taxpayer Money from Going to Dead People After New Gov’t Measure Implemented

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Treasury Department has blocked nearly $100 million in taxpayer money from going to dead people since implementing a government-wide payment verification process last year, The Post has learned.

The department’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service discovered the money set to go to ghosts after a review of an eye-popping 885 million payments worth a total of nearly $2.7 trillion.

Since March 2025, the screening has identified more than 4,900 disbursements, worth approximately $99 million, associated with deceased payees, according to the Treasury. . .

The $99 million figure is a tiny fraction (0.0036%) of the $2.7 trillion the department reviewed as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on waste, fraud and abuse — but more than triple what Treasury discovered going to the deceased in the days before President Trump took office last year.

“Treasury has delivered on a key promise of President Trump’s mandate to stop improper payments and fraud before money leaves the Treasury, and strengthen the integrity of the federal payment system,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.

“Together with Vice President Vance’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, this new safeguard addresses a longstanding vulnerability and helps ensure every dollar the federal government spends reaches its intended recipient,” Bessent added. “Treasury will continue efforts to modernize the federal payment system, strengthen safeguards against fraud and improper payments, and protect taxpayer dollars.” (Read more from “Treasury Stopped Nearly $100M in Taxpayer Money from Going to Dead People After New Gov’t Measure Implemented” HERE)

Grotesque Buying and Selling of Body Parts Continues: US Firm Touts Latest Anti-Aging Craze, Cadaver Skin, Injected Right into Your Face

/1 Comment/in , /by

Known as Elravie Re2O — short for “return to your 20s” — the injectable goes through an extensive transformation before it ever reaches a patient’s face.

The process begins with skin recovered from deceased donors in the US, which is sent to a lab and stripped of all cellular material. What remains is a purified framework called the extracellular matrix, or ECM.

The final product contains a preserved network of human collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and adhesive glycoproteins that acts as a natural scaffold, giving recipients’ own skin cells a structure to attach to and grow within. 

“It’s just the skin tissue with all the cells stripped out in order to prevent immune rejection and allergic side effects,” Kim Han-saem, chief dermatologist at Seoul’s DoD Dermatology Clinic, who has administered Re2O since it was introduced in late 2024, told Bloomberg.

Once processed, the product can be injected into the face and neck, helping soften fine lines, tighten pores and create a foundation where the body’s own cells can regenerate.

Possible School Massacre Thwarted after Homosexual Allegedly Threatens Catholic Nuns, Governor

/4 Comments/in , , /by

A potential massacre at a Christian high school in Nebraska was thwarted thanks to the swift action taken by school officials and the Nebraska State Patrol.

Columbus Catholic Schools, a unified educational system that serves over 850 students in Nebraska, received a message on June 26 threatening Scotus Central Catholic, a Christ-centered high school in Columbus.

Jeff Ohnoutka, the executive director of CCS, said in a statement on Friday that after he was made aware of the “disturbing threat,” he immediately brought it to the attention of the NSP and the Columbus Police Department.

According to the NSP, the message “included a threat of violence to the school and Governor Pillen’s family.” . . .

In a post under the name “Bobby McGee” on the Facebook page for Columbus Catholic Schools, 32-year-old homosexual Ean Halstead of Omaha allegedly wrote, “I’m going to shoot up this school and kill Jim Pillen’s children and a few nuns for (expletive) funsies,” reported WOWT-TV.

Trump says Netanyahu won’t be Arrested in New York, Pushing Back on Mamdani

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump said Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “will not be arrested” when he visits New York in September, pushing back on a suggestion by Mayor Zohran Mamdani that such an arrest could happen.

Mamdani has said New York City’s legal department is discussing the possibility of arresting Netanyahu when the prime minister is in the city to attend the United Nations General Assembly.

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani told The New York Times’ “The Interview” podcast that published Saturday.

“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court. And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years,” the mayor said.

Trump, in a Truth Social post on Monday, said, “Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America.”

“He is fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which recently killed 52,000 innocent protestors, and has spent the last 47 years killing American Soldiers, and others,” Trump wrote. “The only ones that should be arrested are the people that led Iran into this unprecedented SPIRAL OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, something that should have been dealt with years ago, by previous Presidents!” (Read more from “Trump says Netanyahu won’t be Arrested in New York, Pushing Back on Mamdani” HERE)

‘I’m in’: Lindsey Graham’s Sister will Seek Full Senate Term at Trump’s Urging

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Sen. Darline Graham Nordone, R-S.C., is responding to President Donald Trump’s encouragement by announcing she will run for the full term for her Senate seat previously held by her late brother Sen. Lindsey Graham.

“I’ve made a decision,” Darline told Sean Hannity of Fox News. “I’m in.”

“I have been praying a lot, talking to my family,” she said. “I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes. Absolutely.”

Last Friday, Trump publicly urged Darline to run, and she told Hannity the presidential request was “a tremendous amount of pressure.”

“We have known each other for a long time,” Trump said of Nordone, who was sworn in last week on a temporary, fill-in basis.

CIA Report: Venezuela ‘Could Have’ Used Voting Machines To Rig Elections

/2 Comments/in , /by

A newly declassified CIA report says the Venezuelan government “could have” used voting machines to rig elections. President Donald Trump declassified a series of documents and reports related to election integrity on July 16, including a “CIA Note” entitled, “Summary of Select Intelligence Reporting From 2004-2020 on Venezuela’s Electronic Voting Manipulation Capabilities.”

The note says that between 2004 and 2020, “intelligence established that Venezuelan government officials developed sustained interest and likely some capability in manipulating electronic voting systems, including Smartmatic technology, to influence electoral outcomes in Venezuela.” The document says it was produced under the auspices of the CIA’s deputy director of analysis and is dated June 29, 2026.

The CIA produced a baseline assessment of Venezuela’s 2012 presidential election that maintained mass electronic election fraud had not occurred. A 2013 CIA “devil’s advocate” analysis, the note says, provided “plausible scenarios” in which “large-scale electronic manipulation could have occurred in Venezuela’s 2012 election without detection.”

The note summarizes sources reporting that, prior to the 2012 Venezuelan presidential election, Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez’s “intelligence services … worked with the National Electoral Council and Smartmatic to develop plans to manipulate election results using preprogrammed voting machines.” The source or sources of that reporting, however, are censored in the document released Thursday.

The note includes claims that such plans included sending “altered machines” to roughly 300 voting centers in pro-Chavez areas “to ensure victory by approximately 1.5 million votes.” Chavez won that election by roughly 1.6 million votes, according to the note.

Convicted Killer Suing Trump Demands $75M, Apology, and US Citizenship

/0 Comments/in , /by

An illegal immigrant serving a lengthy prison sentence for the murder of a Michigan woman is suing President Donald Trump, alleging he faced humiliation when his case was used as a political talking point, and is demanding $75 million, a public apology, and U.S. citizenship.

Brandon Ortiz-Vite, 27, who was previously deported from the United States, is serving a sentence of 39 to 102 years in prison for killing Ruby Garcia in March 2024.

Garcia’s body had several gunshot wounds and was found dumped along a road in Grand Rapids. The pair were in a romantic relationship and were engaged in an argument at the time of the slaying.

In a handwritten complaint filed in federal court, Ortiz-Vite named Trump and White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Steven Cheung as defendants. . .

Ortiz-Vite’s case garnered national attention and was highlighted when Trump, who made combating illegal immigration a large part of his campaign, visited Grand Rapids in 2024. During his remarks, Trump labeled Ortiz-Vite as “America’s problem.” (Read more from “Convicted Killer Suing Trump Demands $75M, Apology, and US Citizenship” HERE)

Resumption of Iran War Pushes Average Gas Price over $4

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .With the resumption of the war with Iran, gas has returned to a national average of $4 a gallon this week. Gas prices had started coming down after the U.S. and Iran agreed to a peace deal, which brought stability to the market. Then, as everyone with an IQ over 70 expected, that all fell apart as Iran continued to violate the agreement. Nevertheless, we did have a few weeks of gas prices coming down.

“The price is a national average, meaning drivers in some states have been paying well over $4 a gallon for a while now, while others pay less. Prices vary between states due to factors ranging from nearby supply to differing tax rates,” reports the far-left Associated Press. “People around the world are also dealing with high gas prices as a result of the war.”

We are less than four months out from the November 3 midterm elections. Hopefully, Trump can mop this up pretty quickly with a lasting victory against the jihadist mullahs in Iran and get those prices down. Voters don’t like the war. Voters hate high gas prices. Still, if the victory against Iran is decisive in the minds of voters, they could come around to approve Trump’s decision in hindsight.

But it must be a decisive victory, a victory where 1) everyone knows for sure that the war really is over and 2) the Strait of Hormuz is open and free. (Read more from “Resumption of Iran War Pushes Average Gas Price over $4” HERE)
