“You can look at a platypus and be offended or you can look at a platypus and marvel. Life dishes out less scar-tissue to those of us who choose to marvel rather than scold”

It’s a start:

Several cities in northern Mexico have seen a major drop in the arrival of migrants seeking to reach the US border since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.

If Mexico would close their southern border the problem would go away .

DOGE claims that 4.7 trillion dollars paid by the Treasury of the United States is lacking any tracking data…..resulting in essentially untraceable payments.

Do we know where the money went?” If so, find out why they billed it….make the recipients justify the payment. If it is legit, then they should have no issue explaining it.

If not, then who is going to jail for signing off on untraceable payments?

Either we get an answer as to where it went and why, or we reverse the payment until there is an satisfactory explanation.

And, again, who is going to be fired for allowing this in the first place, and who is going to jail if the payments are found to be false or unauthorized?

That those on the DNC side who are upset that DJT is changing the way our Federal Government spends money …

You know, those who keep saying “Yes, we need to fix this, but use a scalpel, not a meat-axe” already HAD their chance for reform, and chose not to take it….They could have (and should have) fixed things THEIR way….but for many years, especially the Obama years and (and Trump’s first run) and then the explosive growth in the bureaucracy and spending  during the “Biden” administration….they chose to do nothing but stand by and watch the waste, the insane growth and the misspending of the monies of our taxpayers…..letting it happen.

Those folks can’t com0plaion about the way the house is being cleaned when they had the chance many times over many years and chose inaction.

“At least RFK Jr. is charmingly nuts and in a place he might do some good.”

So true

so lessee:

We have, via our new president, cut off the graft from USAID and their international efforts ….Where the leftists and government workers can/coul/did siphon off our tax dollars…….

And:

Put scrutiny on the Treasury, which simply paid bills submitted without any oversight…

And:

Harmed, if not killed, Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness…. whose programs milked both government AND private companies for large monies for Leftists.

And:

Have cut off or greatly reduced the Green Boondoggle…both wind and solar subsidies.

Closely looked at, and examined the Department of Education…and cut greatly the wasted dollars there. (Hopefully more to come)

And that is just a start. Lots of people being cut out of the Gravy Train they once enjoyed, as their positions allowed them to skim off a percentage…..

I expect EPA and Energy will yield similar results.

Lots of ways people made money.. approving supplier contracts with inflated pricing (with the appropriate remunerations funneled to the people making the decision on who got the contracts), making sure that service providers got the positions at elevated costs (with, of course, the associated kickbacks)….that sort of thing. You know, and I know that that sort of thing happened a LOT in the Federal government.,,,….before Trump and Musk….and up to now, we couldn’t do anything. But that was then, when the Right Sort of People were in Charge……now? Maybe not so much. And no one will believe anymore that it is just government worker incompetence, as I believe that performance is going to matter for our Civil Service people as well….Gonna expect productivity and competence.

Lots of people gonna have to change their lifestyle and maybe sell some of those expensive homes around DC and elsewhere along the East Coast…..maybe sell a vacation home or two….

“What you say is knowledge, when to say it is intelligence”

“A future is not given to you. It is something you must make for yourself.”

“Don’t let obstacles , those things that stand in your path, determine your path”

“True love adds to your life, it does not subtract from your dreams”

“Don’t waste time trying to change things you cannot control”

When the people fear their government, you have tyranny:

When the government fears the people, you have liberty.

Border Crossing encounters drop by 75% since inauguration. 

AND THEY KEEP DROPPING!

75%. And more.

Think about that. DROP.

Had our previous Presidential administrations not welcomed these illegals, made it possible for them to not only cross the border but also made it easy to stay, the “illegal immigration” issue could have been essentially stopped over the past 30 or so years, rather than increasing in scope tenfold up until now.

Crime would be down, the financial drain on our economy and our Federal government oud be essentially zero, freeing billions of taxpayer dollars for citizens….and state and local governments would have more money spend on the citizens they serve. …

They ALL. Republican and Democrat, could have fixed this.

But they chose not to.

Instead, most of them profited in some way from the “Migrant Crisis” they facilitated….

that are getting in the way of the whole DOGE push to find waste and bloat and outright criminally negligent processes and payments ,,,,,,if not fraud….

Is that we are getting a good look at where their loyalties lie, and who is profiting from the mess our government has become.

Most of them are profiting, in one way or another, and others are working for someone who IS profiting….either as contractors to a Department or otherwise supplying goods or services at an inflated price.

Either way, they are showing for whom they really work. And it ain’t the people who elected them.

Remember: They are not objecting to the waste and fraud, they are objecting to the waste and fraud being exposed.

Just think about that for a moment.
