Elon Musk And DOGE Flag Treasury’s TAS Payment Verification System

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team are still at it, despite unconscionable attacks by the left and even the terrorism against Tesla, one of Musk's companies.
Now DOGE has discovered something else that Elon rightly calls a "big deal."
Last week, Treasury went live with its first automated payment verification system. In total, $334 million in improper payment requests were identified and rejected due to:

-Missing budget codes
-Invalid budget codes (i.e. the payment was not linked to the budget)
-Budget codes with no authorization (i.e. the budget had already been fully spent)

They just prevented $334 million in improper payments. This raises big questions about what was going on before they stopped all this and found these issues. Imagine all the money flying out the door before this without the proper codes.
DOGE explained in February the problem with the Treasury system -- that the Treasury Access Symbol (TAS), an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item which they called "standard financial process," was "optional" for about $4.7 trillion in payments, and was often left blank, so that you couldn't trace the payments. DOGE stopped that so they can now trace the payments.

Trans-Identifying Male Sweeps Women’s Events In Texas

A trans-identifying male competed in the U.S. Masters Swimming Spring National Championship meet, and he took gold medals in every event he entered — in the 45-49 age group of the women’s division.
Ana Caldas, who has also raced under the names Hannah Caldas and Hugo Caldas, swam in five individual events and three relays over the course of the four-day competition in San Antonio — and won every individual race: the 50 yard freestyle, the 100 yard freestyle, the 50 yard breaststroke, and the 100 yard breaststroke. Caldas came in a full three seconds ahead of the second place finisher in the 100 yard freestyle, and four seconds ahead in the 50 and 100 yard breaststroke events.
The Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) reached out to the U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS) board after Caldas won his first individual event on Friday, referencing the body’s stated rules — which require trans-identifying male swimmers to have received hormone therapy and to show proof of testosterone levels below 5 nmol/L — and saying that was hardly enough to protect the female athletes who were losing medals and opportunities to men.
“Transparency in these matters is critical to maintaining the integrity of the competition and the trust of all USMS athletes. There is no length of time during which testosterone suppression eliminates male advantage; therefore it should not serve as a guideline permitting men to compete in women’s swimming. At a minimum, it is USMS’s responsibility to enforce its current policy,” the letter read, in part.
“He’s just laughing at these women,” an ICONS spokeswoman said
As Reduxx reported, it is not clear whether or not Caldas’ competitors knew that he was male:
…he has been competing as a woman in swimming, rowing, and Crossfit for decades, and has been careful to conceal his previous identity. However, Caldas’ birth name is still listed on multiple research papers he co-authored as an academic, and in records from Wake Forest University where he was a member of the faculty. Caldas also co-applied for a patent in 2004 using the names “Hugo” and “Hannah.”

Word To The Wise - DON'T TOUCH ‘EM

(That warning should work for the stupid too ... but there's a reason we call you stupid .. so you do you.)

This guy (@omgitswicks) puts out a lot of short clips about the experience of being a Floridian. My wife loves his videos.
This one deals with something I’ve posted about before … the Puss Moth Caterpillar. It is the larvae of the Southern Flannel Moth.
Just a little brush with one will put you in pain that you can’t imagine. I thought I was having a heart attack.

I read on one other post that this was a suicide. Reuters reported this was a 21 y/o man at a tollbooth in the Chilean city of Purranque in March of 2023.

SCOTUS Agrees To Hear Case On Trump’s Plan To End Birthright Citizenship

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has agreed to hear oral arguments in May on a case that centers on President Donald Trump’s historic executive order to end birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens.
On Thursday, the court issued a notice that oral arguments on the executive order will be heard on May 15. Immediately after Trump signed the executive order in January, the pro-mass migration groups CASA Inc. and Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project sued to block the order.
The order seeks to eliminate the nation’s so-called anchor baby policy where about 250,000 “anchor babies” are born in the U.S. annually to illegal alien parents. These anchor babies are rewarded with birthright American citizenship despite having no legitimate ties to the U.S.
Years later, when the U.S.-born child is considered an adult, they can sponsor their illegal alien parents and foreign relatives for green cards — anchoring their family in the U.S. for generations.
Border czar Tom Homan recently said the anchor baby policy is a massive driver of illegal immigration to the U.S., as it entices pregnant foreign nationals to cross the southern border in the hopes of securing American citizenship for their child.
“I think the Supreme Court finally needs to answer that question. Now, I’m not a lawyer, but I can read. I don’t think it’s clear that an illegal alien that has a child in this country is automatically a U.S. citizen,” Homan said.
SCOTUS has never explicitly ruled that the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens must be granted birthright citizenship, and many legal scholars dispute the idea.
Many leading conservative scholars argue the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment does not provide mandatory birthright citizenship to the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens or foreign nationals, because these children are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction as that language was understood when the 14th Amendment was ratified.
