Pentagon Fails Sixth Audit in a Row, Claiming “Progress Sort of Beneath the Surface”

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:13:39 GMT

The U.S. military appears unfazed in its inability to account for billions of dollars. On Thursday, the Department of Defense failed its sixth consecutive audit — but hailed its “incremental progress.”As the Pentagon budget nears a watershed $1 trillion — the largest of any federal government agency — it has never passed a single one of the annual audits mandated by Congress. In a press briefing, the Department of Defense said it had no timeline for passing an audit.“We’ve heard the same platitudes about audit progress for years,” said Julia Gledhill, an analyst at the Project on Government Oversight’s Center for Defense Information. “They’re meaningless, especially since the Pentagon can’t even commit to a timeline for achieving a clean audit.”“We’ve heard the same platitudes about audit progress for years. They’re meaningless.”Former Pentagon comptroller Thomas Harker, now the secretary of the Navy, had publicly set a deadline of 2027 for a clean audit...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:13:39 GMT

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Ludvig Aberg had a pair of two-putt birdies, one of them on a par 4, and kept bogeys off his card for the second straight day for a 6-under 64 on Friday to take a one-shot lead into the weekend at the RSM Classic.In the final tournament of the longest PGA Tour season, Aberg will try to end his short year with victories on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. He already won the European Masters in Switzerland, a performance that secured his spot on Europe’s winning Ryder Cup team.Not bad for a 24-year-old Swede who only turned pro in June. Not surprising, either.“I know my capabilities and I know my strengths,” said Aberg, who finished at Texas Tech this spring and earned a PGA Tour card as the No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University ranking. “But also, to be able to do it this quickly, probably not. It’s been so much fun.“I still pinch myself in the morning whenever I wake up that I actually get to do this for a living, but it’s really cool and...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Four of the eight Las Vegas high school students accused of beating their schoolmate to death in a brawl captured on cellphone video made their first appearances Friday in the adult court system.In separate hearings, the two 16-year-olds and two 17-year-olds were ordered to remain held without bail until their next court date on Tuesday, at which time the judge assigned to the case may reconsider granting bail.The students each face one count of murder but have not been formally charged, court records show. The Associated Press is not naming them because they are juveniles.The other four suspects are awaiting separate hearings since they are all under the age of 16.Earlier this week, Las Vegas police announced the arrests of the eight students, between the ages of 13 and 17, in connection with the Nov. 1 brawl that left 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis Jr. dead.Authorities have said students at Rancho High School in eastern Las Vegas had agreed to meet after school let ou...
