You don't know how the burden of proof works, do you, Anchovies?
If you make a claim, the burden proof is yours.
Now, cry some more for my amusement, will you?
Poor Anchovies.

The House Oversight Committee has reportedly discovered that $241 million in taxpayer funds were used to study transgender surgeries and treatments on animals, with Dr. Anthony Fauci authorizing approximately 95% of these experiments, according to Rep. Eli Crane.

The real question there is, DID THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

Not yet. Things don't move that fast. I'm sure the Democrats are venue-shopping for an activist judge to issue a TRO.
DC ain't a magic fairytale place where shit happens right away.
The House Oversight Committee has taken several actions in response to the discoveries regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci's alleged authorization of transgender animal surgeries:
- Hearings: The Committee, particularly through its Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, organized a hearing titled "Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty." This hearing was held to scrutinize the ethical and financial aspects of these experiments. During the hearing, it was highlighted that federal funds, including those from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), were used to conduct these experiments on animals like mice, rats, and monkeys.
- Investigations: There have been investigations into how taxpayer money was being spent, specifically focusing on the amount spent on what was described as cruel, unnecessary animal testing. Rep. Nancy Mace and others have criticized the use of taxpayer funds for these purposes, pointing out the ethical implications and the potential waste of resources.
- Public Statements and Media Coverage: Various members of Congress, including Rep. Eli Crane and Rep. Nancy Mace, have publicly addressed these issues, emphasizing the amount of money ($241 million, with Fauci authorizing 95% according to some claims) spent on these experiments. This has led to significant media coverage, with various news outlets reporting on the hearings and the findings.
- Policy Proposals: Witnesses at the hearings, like Justin Goodman from the White Coat Waste Project, have proposed policy solutions aimed at reducing or redirecting funding away from such animal experiments toward alternative research methods that might offer more humane or scientifically relevant outcomes.
- Criticism of Fauci and the NIH: There's been direct criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci, focusing on his role in authorizing or managing research funds that went into these experiments. This scrutiny is part of a broader oversight into NIH's research practices, questioning the necessity and ethics of such research.
- Calls for Accountability: There have been demands for more accountability from federal agencies regarding the use of taxpayer dollars in research, particularly when it involves what is perceived as unethical or questionable practices.

Paypal has plenty of data; just not the same as the SSA or IRS, because they don't need all of that.
IRS's data is used for enforcing tax laws, ensuring compliance, and managing tax revenues. SSA's data revolves around social security benefits administration.
PayPal has access to a variety of personal information primarily related to facilitating transactions and ensuring compliance with financial regulations. Here's an overview of what PayPal has access to:
- Basic Personal Information: This includes names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.
- Financial Information: PayPal collects details like bank account numbers, credit/debit card details, and transaction histories. For those using PayPal for business or receiving payments for goods and services, PayPal may also handle tax-related information like Social Security Numbers (SSNs) or Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) for issuing Form 1099-K if transactions exceed certain thresholds ($600 for goods and services in the U.S.)

Ah, all Americans don’t use Pay Pal, but they do either file tax and pay social security, duh, and again, Elon is a private citizen with zero clearance or accountability
Waste of time engaging with one who doesn’t know what he is talking about

Open wide and say "ah" again, Anchovies.
No, Anchovies, all Americans do not "file tax (sic) and pay Social Security".
- Not everyone is required to file a federal income tax return. The obligation to file depends on several factors including income level, filing status, age, and whether you are claimed as a dependent. For example, if your income is below a certain threshold, you do not need to file.
- FICA Taxes:
- FICA taxes include Social Security and Medicare taxes. These are typically withheld from employees' wages, but:
- Students employed by their school do not pay FICA on their earnings from that employment.
- Members of certain religious sects that are conscientiously opposed to accepting benefits from any private or public insurance (including Social Security) can apply for an exemption. These individuals must belong to a sect that has been in existence since December 31, 1950, and must waive all benefits and payments from Social Security.
- State and local government employees who were hired before specific dates are not covered by Social Security if their employers did not enter into a Section 218 Agreement with the Social Security Administration.

It's never of a waste of my time engaging with one - like you - who doesn’t know what he is talking about.
Poor Anchovies.
Prove there is fraud and waste. Tell us why the left benefits when it is the wealthy who make out like Musk in govt programs. We all know about fraud in military contracts, yet it is not being mentioned. They keep fooling you people into looking past the real thieves. The poor are not robbing you. We did not get the worst wealth gap in history by getting robbed by the poor and immigrants. You rightys still cannot understand who is gutting you and you never will.

Not all Americans, though.
It's funny that Anchovies doesn't know that the government buys people's data all the time, isn't it?
Various U.S. government agencies, including the FBI, Department of Defense, U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Defense Intelligence Agency, among others, have contracts with data brokers to purchase personal data. This includes sensitive information like location data and social media activity.

Massive declassification is the key to deep state reform.
The public must see the full record, including any and all evidence of corruption, waste, and criminality, inside agencies like USAID, FBI, DOJ, CIA, DHS, HHS, NIH, FDA, and CDC.
This means exposing decades of crony capitalism, criminal activity, and covert operations that have destabilized both the U.S. and the world.
The FBI and DOJ have systematically suppressed political movements on both the left and right.
USAID and CIA have orchestrated regime changes abroad under the guise of humanitarian aid.
Meanwhile, NIH, FDA, and CDC have functioned as little more than subsidiaries of the pharmaceutical industry they are supposed to regulate.
Radical transparency is the catalyst for reform.
Release the declassified documents on President Trump's and Elon Musk's social media accounts, bypassing the legacy media and ensuring mass exposure.
Secrecy allows corruption to thrive; only full disclosure can end it.
