MTG announced in November, 2024 she would be the chair of the DOGE oversight subcommittee. After the announcement, MTG bought shares in Tesla. Does anyone think she can conduct oversight of Elon Musk and DOGE, while having a financial interest in Musk’s company? Yes, I know all Congressmen own stock. But did they buy that stock after they become aware of whom they oversee? Vice President Vance stated, “Shutting people out of the political process protects nothing.” This was in his speech in Munich. But he, his boss and his party are intent on revenge and retribution of their political enemies as to shut them out of the political process. The Trump/Putin “peace talks” to end the Ukraine war started by a Russia will exclude Ukraine. Trump wants Ukraine’s rare earth minerals as “payback” for providing military equipment to fight a communist foe.

The “Biden Crime Family” was investigated ad nauseum because it allegedly earned $10 million. The taxpayers paid unaccounted millions for finding nothing. Trump Jr. joined the advisory board drone maker Unusual Machines on Nov. 27, 2024. It sells drone products to the Pentagon. Trump Jr. owns 331,580 shares. The stock price immediately doubled. From 2013 to 2018, Hunter Biden served on Burisma's Board of Directors. Burisma does not sell anything to the U.S. government. It is not known if Hunter Biden owned stock in Burisma. Repeating from above, the taxpayers paid unaccounted millions for finding nothing in an ad nauseum investigation.
