It is time to implement the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). It’s a concept that was born in 1980. But, I suppose it is better late than never.

Elon Musk, the co-head of DOGE, and Vivek Ramaswamy are not wasting any time.

They already seem to have their radars set and they can spot some animal research projects that are wasteful, but that taxpayers fund for unknown reasons. Rand Paul, R-KY, called out some of these projects in his Festivus Waste Reports. Justin Goodman lists some of these projects in an email from the Senior Vice President for White Coat Waste, Justin Goodman.

  • $770,000 to a Kremlin-run animal lab that damaged cats’ brains and forced them to run on treadmills
  • Tens of millions to fund Fauci’s Monkey Island, where the NIH breeds and stockpiles 3,300 monkeys for experiments with COVID and other viruses
  • $3.6M to get monkeys hooked on cocaine and force them to gamble
  • $5.2M to inject beagle puppies with cocaine
  • More recently, WCW has exposed millions more in ongoing wasteful government spending including:
  • NIH funding for dog testing in China and other Chinese animal labs tied to the PLA and CCP
  • NIH funding for motion sickness experiments where kittens are spun around to make them nauseous
  • DOD funding for constipation experiments where cats have marbles shoved up their butts and are electro-shocked (DOD)
  • EPA tests that force mice to inhale gun smoke from pistols and rifles

This is only a small part of the story. The DOGE is facing resistance from the usual suspects. Elon and Vivek, however, are not having it. Both of them are invulnerable, but they’re not. Both have “eff you money” — what lawfare could be used against the richest person on earth that wouldn’t just be overwhelmed by Elon simply dumping money on it to overwhelm the entire thing? This is one of many reasons why these two are perfect for this Herculean job.

If Senator Warren asked my opinion, then I would be able to give her 36 trillion different reasons why it should, nay must, be done.

This is a Herculean job. It’s like cleaning up King Augeas stables after Fluffy poop in the park.

Of course, the DOGE won’t just focus federal expenditures on stupidity of the sort noted above. They’ll – and they better – also focus on the Brobdingnagian bureaucracy that everyone who has enough brains for sand to pound knows is feathered beyond belief. For years, I’ve said that if I were elected president, I would visit each federal agency and department within the executive branch and talk to every employee.

What is your purpose here?

What are you doing right now?

If you don’t answer my questions satisfactorily, I will tell you “You are fired.” “Get out.”

We hope that the DOGE is also allowed to lose on the bureaucracy. It looks so far like they are planning to use a Viking war axe on federal spending. Ron Paul, the libertarian icon, has also chimed in.

All I can say is that it’s about time. Elon, let the DOGE out. Let the DOGE loose against Big Government. Let go of the leash, and shout “Sic’m!”

This is going to be a lot of fun.
