In the intricate dance of American governance, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform stands as a sentinel, ensuring that power remains a servant to the people, not its master. In 2025, under the leadership of Chairman James Comer, this committee has embarked on a series of bold investigations, challenging the shadows where corruption seeks refuge.

Unmasking the “Biden Crime Family”

Central to the committee’s recent endeavors is the investigation into the Biden family’s domestic and international business dealings. The committee aims to determine whether these activities compromise U.S. national security and President Biden’s ability to lead with impartiality. Evidence suggests that members of the Biden family have engaged in selling access to the highest levels of government for personal enrichment, often to the detriment of U.S. interests. The committee is committed to following the money trail—consisting of complex, international transactions worth millions of dollars—to provide answers to the American people. The American people deserve to know whether the President’s connections to his family’s business deals occurred at the expense of American interests and whether they represent a national security threat.

Delving into the Origins of COVID-19

The origin of COVID-19—a virus with a death toll surpassing one million Americans and over six million globally—is a question that must be answered. Discovering the origin is vital to providing accountability and protecting Americans in the future. Mounting evidence points to the virus originating from a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) grantee, awarded taxpayer funds to the WIV to conduct gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses—research that may have started the pandemic. Committee Republicans have unearthed emails revealing that top virologists warned Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, that the virus appeared to be genetically engineered and pointed to a lab leak in Wuhan. However, these emails reveal that Dr. Fauci and former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins may have colluded with scientists to downplay the lab leak theory for their preferred narrative of natural origin. The American people deserve answers and accountability. Committee Republicans will continue to follow the facts to determine what, if anything, could have been done differently to guard against the harms Americans have endured during the pandemic.

Addressing the Border Crisis

Chairman James Comer and the Oversight Committee are investigating President Biden’s radical open borders policies that have created the worst border crisis in American history. Because of the Biden Administration’s reckless policies, human trafficking is flourishing, deadly drugs such as fentanyl are pouring into towns across the U.S., and our laws are being flouted. The committee is committed to holding the Biden Administration accountable for its dereliction of duty and is seeking solutions to support the men and women who risk their lives to protect our border on a daily basis.

Washington is in full meltdown mode. Not because of a foreign crisis, a natural disaster, or a cyberattack. No, the political class is in panic because of something far more dangerous to them: accountability. President Trump assigned Elon Musk to audit federal spending, and what he’s uncovering is enough to make taxpayers sick to their stomachs.

Let’s be clear—what Musk is doing isn’t some wild, out-of-bounds move. It’s exactly what Trump promised on the campaign trail. He vowed to scrutinize government spending, line by line. And that’s precisely what’s happening now. So why are Democrats and the media acting like the sky is falling?

The Real Reason Washington Is Panicking

The outrage isn’t about some procedural concern or ethical dilemma. It’s about fear. Fear of the truth. Fear of the waste, fraud, and outright corruption that Musk’s audit is exposing.

For years, politicians have spent taxpayer dollars like Monopoly money. And now, when someone finally dares to look under the hood, the response is hysteria. Instead of discussing the actual findings, the political class is throwing a tantrum about the process. That alone should tell you everything you need to know.

Shocking Findings: Where Your Money Is Going

Let’s talk about what Musk has discovered so far. Here’s just a fraction of the jaw-dropping waste he’s exposed:

• Foreign Aid Gone Wild: The U.S. is sending taxpayer dollars to Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria—some of which has allegedly ended up in the hands of terrorist-linked organizations.
• LGBT Advocacy in Foreign Countries: Millions have been funneled into LGBTQ+ initiatives in Serbia, Macedonia, Jamaica, and Nepal. While Americans struggle with inflation, the government is funding “equity and inclusion education” overseas.
• Sex Changes in Guatemala: Yes, you read that correctly. American tax dollars are being used to fund gender transition procedures in Guatemala.
• Sesame Street in Iraq: The U.S. spent $20 million on a new version of Sesame Street in Iraq. Apparently, Elmo diplomacy is now a budget priority.
• Teaching Sri Lankan Journalists to Avoid “Binary Gendered Language” – Because clearly, that’s where our money should go in a time of economic crisis.
• Millions to Hamas-Controlled Organizations in Gaza – If this isn’t insanity, what is?
• $280 Billion to Subsidize Big Tech Through the CHIPS Act – Because struggling small businesses don’t need help, but semiconductor giants do?

The Establishment’s Predictable Outrage

Instead of addressing these findings, Washington elites are attacking Musk himself. They’re calling him unqualified, accusing him of having conflicts of interest, and even suggesting he’s collecting private data for personal gain.

This is classic political theater. When corrupt bureaucrats get caught, they attack the messenger. But here’s the reality: Musk has a top-secret security clearance, he’s arguably the most successful businessman on the planet, and he’s doing exactly what Trump said he would do.

So what’s the problem? The problem is that Washington is being audited, and they don’t like what’s being exposed.

$36 Trillion in Debt—And This Is How They Spend?

America is now $36 trillion in debt. To put that into perspective:

• If you counted to a billion, it would take you 32 years.
• If you counted to a trillion, it would take 31,000 years.
• At 36 trillion, it would take over a million years to count to our national debt.

Yet Washington acts like more spending is the only solution. Under Biden, the budget has exploded by 55% since 2019, while the population has only grown by 2%. The numbers don’t lie—our leaders are spending us into oblivion.

What Needs to Happen Next

First, Musk needs to continue his audit. But not just of USAID—he should investigate every single federal agency. Waste isn’t limited to foreign aid; it’s embedded in every department of government.

Second, Congress should be thanking Musk, not attacking him. If they had any integrity, they’d invite him to testify—not to scold him, but to learn from him. Senator Mark Warner has called for Musk to speak before Congress. That’s a good start, but it should be about solutions, not political grandstanding.

Finally, the American people need to demand accountability. The spending porn Musk uncovered is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s time to demand audits, transparency, and actual consequences for those who treat our tax dollars like a slush fund.

The Bottom Line

Washington doesn’t want you to know where your money is going. But now, the truth is out. Musk’s audit is exposing a system built on corruption, waste, and arrogance. Instead of debating how to fix the mess, politicians are throwing a fit because their gravy train is being derailed.

The question is simple: Do we want more of the same reckless spending, or do we want real accountability? If you’re angry about what Musk has uncovered, good. You should be. Now, let’s demand that something be done about it.
