If you ever listen to our streaming show, “TNN Live!”, you have certainly heard my cries for the exposure of how the heck most of our representatives and senators in Congress seem to become wealthy. Indeed, some are already wealthy when winning their first elections. Isn’t it odd that almost every member of Congress is “filthy rich” when they leave Congress? It’s implausible to think that those who serve, earning approximately $200,000 annually in Congress, can find ways to parlay those dollars into millions dramatically!
I’m originally from South Louisiana. Down there, I learned that when you see an animal and it quacks, flies, and waddles on the ground, it’s almost always a duck!
I was so excited to hear Elon Musk say several nights ago that DOGE would look into this issue. Finally, maybe we’ll get some answers!
I’m not placing blame or alleging that any of our lawmakers are involved in any illegal activity. However, I’d love to sit and chat with any of them who would share their wealth techniques with this Cajun. I’d even cook some Duck Gumbo!
In steps Elon Musk! Maybe, we’ll get some answers.
The world’s richest man is dying to figure out how lawmakers on Capitol Hill got “strangely wealthy” despite their comparatively modest public salaries.
Speaking at a town hall in Wisconsin Sunday night, Elon Musk suggested that his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will investigate how certain members of Congress have achieved generational wealth.
One attendee at the town hall had asked Musk if DOGE had uncovered evidence of funds wired from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
“They’ll [the government] send the money overseas to one NGO [non-governmental organization], then they’ll go through a bunch of them, and then I’m highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to the United States and lands in the pockets of the people you just mentioned,” Musk replied.
Rank-and-file members of Congress make $174,000 annually. Last year, Musk, whose net worth is pegged at $330 billion by Bloomberg, helped kill legislation to raise congressional pay, then later supported an increase as a means of fighting corruption.
Scores of lawmakers who have spent decades in Congress are millionaires.
Two of the wealthiest include former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who has a net worth of about $250 million, and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), whose personal fortune hovers around $552 million.
Pelosi’s wealth primarily comes from her and her venture capitalist husband Paul’s lucrative investments in companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Netflix.
Scott’s fortunes largely stem from his work co-founding HCA Healthcare, a company that runs hospitals and other medical facilities around Florida, and Solantic, an urgent-care clinic chain. His work on both of those companies predates his time in the Senate.
“How do they get $20 million if they earn $200,000 a year?” Musk further pondered. “We’re going to try to figure it out and certainly stop it from happening.”
Musk swung through Wisconsin on Sunday to rally support for Brad Schimel, a conservative Waukesha County judge, in the closely watched election for the state Supreme Court.
During his visit, Musk handed out $1 million checks to two Badger State voters. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has encouraged Wisconsin residents to sign his petition against “activist judges” to get prize money.
“I should say that the reason for the checks is that it’s really just to get attention,” Musk explained about the prize money.
“And somewhat inevitably, when I do these things, it causes the legacy media to kind of lose their minds.”
DOGE Conspiracy?
I don’t know about you, but I feel that it’s odd that DOGE so quickly discovered the billions of U.S. tax dollars that simply were sent from our government to NGO’s all across the World with no contracts, no accountability, and no authorizations that can be documented. One wonders if any of the screaming, threatening, shouting, and cursing by numerous Democrats in the days immediately following the revelations of these suspicious billions showing up overseas might be connected to “sinister” actions that are being hidden. That might explain why those impromptu public appearances that were quite unsettling seemed slightly suspicious. Of course, those protesting were lawmakers — all Democrats — but did Congressional Democrats suddenly grow a conscience and feel they might be exposed if DOGE and Elon actually reveal any recipients of those suspicious funds?
My personal opinion on the matter: I feel Elon and DOGE have the names and details of who the recipients of those “NGO Dollars” went to!
That would explain why the instant reactions of those Democrats to point the finger at the “Tesla Guy!”
Remember: I’m from South Louisiana. Down there, the first chicken to cackle is the chicken that laid the egg!
I can’t wait for the revelation time.
