Law and order is a prerequisite for building a safe, strong, civil and high-functioning society.

What a concept….

03/12/2025

You’ve heard of 80/20 issues?

Issues like sealing the border and deporting illegal immigrants, removing biological males from girls’ sports, attempting to purge the waste, fraud and corruption from government spending, building a healthier America for our kids, refocusing our military on it’s essential mission, attacking censorship to protect free speech, guaranteeing that the US Navy and American merchant ships have open and protected access to the Panama Canal… these are 80/20 issues. Meaning roughly 80% of Americans supports these initiatives and 20% oppose.

The DC democrats are on the wrong side of all these issues. I guess that explains why the approval rating for the Democrat party is at an all-time low. Not coincidentally, just over 20%.

Now, a week after congressional Democrats refused to stand for any Americans (or for America as a country) during President Trump’s address, Progressives are instead taking a stand for this Hamas-loving, Jew-hating, terrorist-abetting, anti-American, professional agitator.

This is not a free speech issue. Taking over buildings, destroying property, blocking students from their classes and violently harassing and intimidating Jewish students isn’t “peaceful protest”.

It’s breaking the law. These are violations of the Civil Rights Act. Pro-terrorism foreigners doing it, like Palestinian Mahmoud Khalil, should be deported.

It is a privilege to be in the USA on a green card. You can be a guest in our country only so long as you adhere to the terms and conditions. A green card can be revoked for a number of reasons, including criminal activity. These include fraud, dishonesty, or intent to harm others, and violent crimes. Criminal trespass is grounds for revocation and deportation.

The vast majority of Americans agree.

There is no upside for America in allowing this abuse of our welcoming generosity to continue. Look at what is happening in Europe.

Why should we allow anyone to enter our country and reside here if they hate America, despise our westen values and are intent on undermining our country and preaching the annihilation of our ally, Israel, the only open, democratic society in the Middle East?

Yet this is another toxic hill the Democrats are chosing to plant their flag on. Intent to stand with hate, intolerance and calls for genocide.

Once again, we are forced to ask the question…

Whose side are these people on?

It becomes a legitimate query, when they can never seem to put America first.

Create the propaganda.
Report the propaganda.
Someone else repeats the propaganda. And you have your peer reviewed evidence.

Legacy media is in the narrative business. Well, the fake narrative business.

You shouldn’t be surprised that leftist/Democrat activists are flooding town halls hosted by Republican leaders and screaming and yelling to give the illusion actual Republican constituents are upset at DOGE. Because that’s exactly what's happening.

NYT, WaPo, and CBS have been caught red-handed astroturfing town halls with fake Republicans who express fake outrage over DOGE, trying to scare weak members of the GOP caucus.

The Townhall with Georgia Rep. McCormick was organized by Maggie Goldman a self-proclaimed liberal progressive activist.

Soros is giving money to MoveOn and Indivisible to stage fake opposition to DOGE at Republican town halls.

Then CNN spends an hour reporting on this “growing trend”. We all know the drill at this point.

THE TRUTH
70% of Americans support the Trump Administration’s initiative to reduce waste, fraud and corruption in the federal government.

Over 60% say DOGE is taking an effective approach to attacking this waste.

Meanwhile, the approval rating of the Democrat party has dropped to 36%. It’s lowest approval ever.

Clearly, opposing the will of the vast majority of Americans while circling the wagons to defend entrenched corruption is not a winning strategy.

Expect the lying and gaslighting to only intensify.

Stay focused.
Do the work.
Their bu****it is losing its power.

And the real truth bombs are coming.

The sudden uptick of angry protesters at normally quiet Republican Congressional town hall meetings and Tesla dealership surprised members of Congress.

Once again, the sun rises. And human nature never changes.

One of the greatest insights of our founders was their honest appraisal of the fallen nature of man. They suffered under the abuses of tyrannical power. Many of their families had fled England and other European monarchies to escape political and religious persecution.

They risked everything to fight for control of their own destiny. Many lost it all, including their lives.

In honor of that sacrifice, they endeavored to create a revolutionary form of government deliberately designed to create checks and balances against the consolidation and accumulation of power in the federal government. Because they knew…absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Human nature never changes. Those in power wil always seek to accumulate more power and make the masses reliant on their control. Our Constitution was designed not to empower government, but to limit it. What a concept.

Freedom has never been free. If we still believe that open and limited government best fosters human liberty then it is time for us to fully embrace this battle. And we better have the balls our Founders had if we hope to win.

The more you know…

I highly recommend this book, The Tempest at Dawn. A highly entertaining read that follows the creation of our Constitution and the legendary cast of characters that pulled off this miracle in Philadelphia in the sweltering summer of 1787. 🇺🇸

DOGE is a bunch of heartless meanies! 😭

Did you know?

The ANNUAL INTEREST PAYMENTS (just interest) on our national debt is approaching a trillion dollars per year. It’s instructive to comprehend the amount of money that actually represents. A trillion dollars, stacked in one hundred dollar bills, would reach 631 miles high. JUST THE ANNUAL INTEREST PAYMENTS. Annual interest now exceeds our entire military budget.

The actual, total debt of the federal government will soon hit 36 trillion dollars. That adds another 22,716 miles to that stack of 100 dollars bills. This is more money than has been spent by all governments in the world… in the history of the world.

If you were to spend $1 million every single day, it would take you 2,740 years to spend one trillion dollars. That’s more than two thousand years of non-stop spending.

This debt is piling up at the same time our federal government is raking in record amounts of tax revenue. Yet, our schools get worse, our militray degrades, our infrastructure crumbles, our healthcare system makes is sicker and our economy stagnates. The return on our investment is pathetic.

And this is OUR debt. It belongs to the American people. Half of those people currently pay NO federal taxes.

And this doesn’t even include government debt at the state level. California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey and Texas each have over $200 billion in total liabilities. That’s just five states.

Can we start to comprehend that this not sustainable? Can we wrap our heads around the concept that there will be less and less money to support any of these precious jobs and programs ya’ll are lamenting?

No one enjoys putting people out of work. Put if you think what you’re seeing now with DOGE is scary, then you really don’t want to imagine the economic disaster up ahead if we don’t finally get real about government spending.

This is a great observation. Spot on!

The tyranny of the Woke mob has been broken.
Cancel culture has been cancelled. Breathe again.
Speak your mind.
Trust your gut.
Follow the truth.
Be proud of your country.
F- their approved narrative.

“There’s a lot to choose from, but arguably the most important breakthrough in Trump 2.0—especially for the long-term strength of the MAGA movement—is the total collapse of emotional blackmail as a weapon. The media, Democrats, and elites once wielded it to great effect, but not anymore.”

“I don’t really care, Margaret.” JD Vance’s offhand remark wasn’t just a moment—it was the perfect encapsulation of a new reality. The guilt trips, the manufactured outrage, the pressure campaigns that once dictated the terms of debate simply don’t work anymore. And they’re not coming back.”

President Trump is a realist. Everything is transactional. How do I get the best deal for America ?

He looks at this Russia-Ukraine war as a tragic mistake that never should have happened. Brought on by preceived weakness in the Biden White House.

Being brutally honest, Ukraine is not worth a nuclear confrontation with Russia. So this war must end. This war unacceptably raises the potential for US-Russian conflict. Do not imagine that this cannot spin completely out of control.

Some great bullet points here from Kurt Schlichter:

10 Facts About Ukraine/NATO:

1. Russia is absolutely in the wrong for invading Ukraine. Nothing Ukraine did excuses or justifies Russia’s actions.

2. Ukraine is not going to be able to win the war, if the definition of the winning the war is recovering all the conquered Ukrainian territory. A continued stalemate will result in many thousands of additional deaths.

3. There is much more going on in this conflict than in the portrait painted by the media and establishment. It involves history, ethnicity, and other factors we westerners – including me, who’s actually trained Ukrainian soldiers several times on Ukrainian soil – do not and cannot understand.

4. Ukraine is an unbelievably corrupt country and the idea that no substantial portion of our aid money has been stolen is ridiculous.

5. The American people are by and large tired of subsidizing Ukraine’s end of this war. They are absolutely against American forces being involved.

6. China is a substantially greater threat to the United States than Russia in the macro. We cant afford to be distracted.

7. The Europeans should be taking the lead in supporting Ukraine and should be taking the lead in defending Europe.

8. The campaign to insult critics of past Ukraine policy by calling them Putin‘s puppets, etc, is a lie and is going to result in enmity towards the idea of helping the Ukrainians. You cannot insult Americans into obedience. You cannot fail to address their legitimate concerns and expect them to agree with you.

9. Some of our NATO allies are participating in internal repression, including suppression of free speech and the right to organize and participate in elections via non-establishment parties. This dangerously undercuts the moral argument in favor of NATO.

10. It is in America’s interest at this war ends. It is in our interest to draw Russia away from China and closer to the West. It is not in our interest to have a war going on where our proxy is fighting with a nuclear-armed enemy, regardless of how moral the cause of Ukraine is. The only way this is going to happen is if the United States takes the lead and forces Ukraine to make painful concessions in order to end this dangerous bloodbath.

Wow.

Looks like a growing majority of Americans approve of a President who actually keeps his promises and is implementing the policies we voted for on November 5th.

What do they call that again?
Oh yeah…democracy.

President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore cut the federal workforce, eliminated agencies, slashed wasteful spending and regulations, and reduced the deficit.

You know, like Trump, Musk, and DOGE.

In his first weeks, Clinton ordered a 100,000-job reduction in government.

Over eight years, he cut 380,000 federal jobs—a 16% decrease.

This was largely driven by the Reinventing Government Initiative (RIGO), spearheaded by Gore to streamline operations and reduce bureaucracy.

These steps were part of an bipartisan plan to cut spending in partnership with a Republican-lead House of Representatives under Newt Gingrich

The plan worked. The deficit was erased, and the U.S. ran a budget surplus for the first time in decades.

Today, annual interest payments on the national debt have doubled in four years, reaching $1.17 trillion—now exceeding the entire U.S. defense budget.

America is $36 trillion in debt.

History proves it can be done.

The real question: Will D.C. Democrats and activists judges get out of the way so Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE can do it again?

Can the modern Democratic Party put country over party?

They have certainly shown no signs of hope so far. TDS still reigns. They would rather see the country burnt to the ground than ever admit that Trump might be capable of any good thing. They do so at their own peril. A growing majority of Americans is simply moving on to brighter future without them.

For years, sane observers have been warning about the metastasizing cancer of woke, progressive leftism that has been spreading its parasitic malignancy through our country, our culture, our schools and our politics.

Years ago, the warning signs were obvious. Early treatment and intervention could have been noninvasive, relatively painless and even involved few side effects.

But that time is long past. In order to save America in 2025, radical, invasive, experimental and aggressive treatments are our only hope.

There will be unpleasant side effects. There will probably be some damage to healthy programs in the short term. There will be disruption and recalibration required. But this the only path open to us after years of ignoring the obvious warning signs.

So I have no sympathy for the pearl-clutching whiners on the left. You know, the hacks, grifters and cynical opportunists who spread this cancer in the first place.

They are like that guy that lived a wretchedly unhealthy lifestyle in search of instant gratification. When it all started to catch up to him, he refused to get the colonoscopy, ignored all his symptoms, avoided seeing a doctor, never changed his bad habits and then shifted into total denial, angry at the world, accepting zero responsibility when told he has stage four colon cancer.

Options suddenly become much more limited and much more risky. Long term survival rates drastically diminish.

Despite all the early detection available, America blew through every warning sign.

We are not well as a country. Not physically, not mentally, not spiritually.

But, if enough of us still have the courage and faith to get up every morning, be honest with ourselves, be open to innovative cures, stand committed to the hard work and to fighting this fight, we can Make America Healthy Again.

At this late point, this fight for survival is not for the faint of heart.

Any honest surgeon would tell you…there will be pain involved. There are no easy options.

TDS - THE CHURCH OF THE POISONED MIND

I thought it could not get much worse or more bizarre. But the level of TDS we are seeing is simply stunning.

I truly feel sorry for anyone brainwashed into a constant state of terror and anxiety. What a pitiful way to wake up every morning.

Over what exactly? What rights have you lost? What freedoms have been stripped away? How exactly are you less safe?

How is Trump’s mission to shrink the size, scope and power of the federal government by rooting out waste, fraud and corruption a threat to your existence?

You scream fascist!!!

Reeling in an all-powerful government is the exact opposite of what a fascist would be doing.

But, at this point, the bubble of psychotic delusion is impenetrable.

Really shows the power of propaganda. And, if you look back, it didn’t take long to brainwash these people into despising Trump and anyone near him.

Trump was a public figure for most of our adult lives. He was a NY liberal. A famous celebrity. A celebrated capitalist who received awards from the NAACP and the Jewish community.

The political elites all wanted to be close to him for thirty years (and gladly took his political donations) until the minute he seriously threatened their power and their piggy banks.

Look at all they have done to try and destroy Trump. They have conspired to shame him, villify him, silence him, bankrupt him, jail him…kill him.

Why?

Just how awful are their crimes and corruption if these are the lengths they are willing to go to in order to avoid any legitimate public scrutiny of their schemes and their deep state ledgers?

I think we are about to find out.

Pay attention to those screaming bloody murder. They probably have the most to hide and the most to lose.

Yesterday. I predicted that she would have a book deal and her own show on MSNBC by the end of the week.

01/22/2025

For four years….

We worked harder. We steeled our spines. We found the common ground to bring people together. We lived in reality. We never stopped telling the truth.

We won.

More and more Americans saw the light and threw off the shackles of an oppressive and defeatist narrative to embrace a positive message of individual empowerment in a country they can love and be proud of again. A country full of possibilities.

We move on with the same approach to the hard work ahead with passion for our cause, kindness in our hearts and a welcome hand extended to all freedom-loving people.
