Once it goes, it’s gone
‘No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.’
Heraclitus
True for people too. We can’t ever find them again, for they are not the same person they were, and neither are we.
A sadness, sometimes.
I mean really really strange…
“tariffs burden consumers with higher prices” as corporations simply pass the cost onto consumers….
But somehow, all those corporate taxes levied during the times when the DNC types held sway never caused the same issue of rising prices…..Those taxes were Good Things.
Really really odd, that.
And it is about time, for Ukraine as well as the rest of Europe
They are gonna have to go it without the US, mostly.
America will no longer front the lion’s share of aid to Ukraine, the Trump administration said today in a devastating blow to Kyiv that will pile pressure on Europe to fill the void.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that Washington will ‘no longer tolerate an imbalanced relationship’ with its allies, adding that ‘Europe must provide the overwhelming share of future lethal and non-lethal aid to Ukraine’.
He stressed that the United States was no longer ‘primarily focused’ on Europe, and said that the old continent would have to fund most of Ukraine’s defense itself in a turn away from a 75-year role as the ‘primary guarantor of security in Europe’.
At the Department of Education…
And already, they have saved or stopped nearly a BILLION dollars in payments. Just in the Department of Ed…in a few days.
As Senator Dirksen is reputed to have said: “A billion here and a Billion there and pretty soon you are talking Real Money”.
Again, this is the leadership that I voted for. I hope Donnie keeps going.
“Nothing in this world that’s worth having comes easy.”
“Truth is, everyone is going to hurt you….the thing is, you gotta figure out which ones are worth suffering for”
“How people treat you shows their character, their worth, not yours.”
“When you have given nothing, ask for nothing.”
“Standing alone is better than standing with people who undervalue you”
Not that that is a surprise for anyone who has actually viewed the scene of the JFK assassination at Dealey Plaza and has any knowledge of shooting…..
Head of JFK task force claims that there were two shooters and pledges to uncover more secrets.
We will never know for sure, there has been 60 years of opportunity for the evidence to be tampered with and the story to be ….massaged.
Is, apparently, owned by some important people who, it would seem, don’t want to have their finances looked at regarding payments form the Treasury Department…..
He issued an emergency restraining order to keep Musk and his minions from examining any additional payments….Without a real reason, nor any possibility of arguments from anyone.
Odd, that, innit? Almost like is in the pay or control of someone who would benefit from the delay…..
How the Federal Government, via FEMA is paying the states (New York is the one that is recently highlighted in the Media stories about DOGE) millions of dollars to “House” the “Migrants” in hotels…..during the “Migrant Crisis” that is CAUSED by Joe Biden’s (and the Democrats) policies at the border….
So they are spending your money to house people that are here illegally. Using FEMA funds to do so, funds set aside for helping American Citizens during times of crisis…like hurricanes, floods etc., rather than spending it for or on on the citizens of the US…..a manufactured crisis. One wonders how much was kicked back to people approving the payments?
At least someone got fired for approving these funds. Now their bosses need to be fired for allowing them to do such egregious acts.
Work up until there are no bosses who allow such crap to happen.
Is beginning to see (assuming they are bothering to pay attention):
The amount of fraud, and waste in our Government programs, especially the “International Efforts”.
They are coming to light.
I expected a lot of fraud and waste, but level exposed so far have astounded me.
Now, if the State can be prevented from stopping the efforts in the courts and if there is support in the legislature, we can save what appears to be fully 1/3 of our budget.
The corruption is being exposed as more and more rocks are turned over: the graft, rake-off, and patronage, but unless we force the change to happen, the continued siphoning of our nations taxes will continue. We need to hold these people accountable.
