More fraud coming to light! Only this time it’s not from DOGE.
The DoD Inspector General flagged over 8,000 suspicious government card transactions.
Imagine that. If you used your debt card 1 time a day, it would take you nearly 22 years to rack up 8,000 transactions.
From online dating to marijuana, cruise lines, gambling, and even fortune telling. You name it. Nothing was off limits.
That fortune teller is pretty hilarious to me. “Mentalo, can you tell me if I’ll ever get caught visiting you on the taxpayer’s dime?” “Hmmm, my sources from beyond the grave say…no.” Ha!
House Oversight is demanding answers on this obvious fraud and abuse.
Looks like DOGE’s got serious competition in the fraud-exposing arena.
Oh, and wigs.
They used your money to buy wigs.
RedState reports:
The DOGE just keeps on winning for the taxpayers. And they aren’t just uncovering wasteful spending; they are rooting out fraud, as well. But the DOGE isn’t the only group out there seeking out waste and fraud in government.
Government waste is rampant in Washington these days, but deliberate fraud and abuse of government credit cards is, if anything, worse than simple waste; fraud is a greater level of corruption, in which there is a deliberate decision made to abuse government spending authority. That is what the Department of Defense Inspector General has found: Over 8,000 questionable transactions on government credit cards – and the House Oversight Committee is demanding answers.
If you’ll allow me a moment’s speculation: It’s a vanishingly small chance that even one of these transactions was for legitimate purposes. These people were partying on the taxpayers’ dime, and while Rep. Comey and Senator Ernst are correct to demand answers, there also have to be severe consequences for any person found to be abusing a government credit card. Jail time would not come amiss. These people are defrauding the taxpayers.
This is a system in desperate need of reform. Every federal employee’s need for a government credit card should be scrutinized.
The DOD IG found nearly 8,000 HIGH-RISK transactions on government-issued credit cards. We are calling on GAO to provide a full audit of high-risk transactions, including:

• Online dating
• Gambling

Here’s a few more items listed on a letter to Congress from James Comer:
They used their government cards to go to record shops?
This lady does a great job breaking down what the mainstream media says ‘isn’t a lot of money’ in regards to DOGE.
Why are you folks upset with DOGE for exposing billions, yet you trust politicians who deceive you? A woman explained it clearly: To spend $1 billion, you’d have to spend $1,000 every day for 2,740 years—dating back to the fall of the Roman Empire—or, in an average 77-year… pic.twitter.com/W5tBqPBOos
