DOGE has recommended billions of dollars in cuts. Based on the information they’ve collected, they might be pointing at trillions. Billions of it are outright fraud. Other billions are to Left Wing causes. And they are pointing at firing at least 10s of thousands of government bureaucrats.

The first thing to understand is that I have no sympathy for any bureaucrat who loses their job. Government bureaucrats are a drain on our economy and should be cut back to the absolute minimum capable of running the government. And then maybe cut some more. All they generate is paperwork and I don’t want them. So that is my bias number one.

My second bias is that I don’t like fraud. I want it found and I want it cut. And I want anyone who fraudulently received our tax paper funds to be sued and put in prison if convicted of it. There must be a cost to defrauding the government and the tax dollars the citizens sent to it. It is our money that was stolen.

My third bias is that I don’t want my tax dollars going to support Left Wing causes. Cutting up children. Sending boys to beat up girls in girls sports. Paying the hotel bills of illegal aliens. Gay pride parades. Some things I just don’t want happening at all, and other things I just don’t want my tax dollars paying for.

The problem is, that while some of these things are discretionary funding that the President absolutely can cut at his discretion. But some of these things have been specifically approved by Congress, and according to the current understanding of the law, the President still has to fund those. In the end, the President and DOGE can only cut so much. We need Congress to really get the cuts and to make them permanent. Because otherwise, the next time the people send a Democrat to the White House, and there will be a next time, that President will just restore all this stuff all over again and try to burn the country down again, just like Biden’s administration spent four years doing.

DOGE is great. I love what DOGE is doing. I love the fraud and waste they are finding. But we need Congress to do something too. And I don’t know if they will.

Some of us remember 2021 one way. Others another. Some remember a violent mob breaking into the capital on January 6. Others a peaceful protest that walked through doors held open for them by capital police, and followed police guides inside the capital. Many news agencies reported that violent rioters beat policemen to death with fire extinguishers and flagpoles. Others that only protestors died on January 6, one shot in the neck on camera and three more who “died of natural causes” during altercations with the capitol police that were not caught on camera.

Many Americans never saw the peaceful protest because the main stream news didn’t cover it. Those of us who watch more than just the mainstream news saw the peaceful protest at the same time as we saw the riot.

Four years of Hell followed that day. Impeachment. Lawyers stripped of their licenses. People banned from social media. Pro Life protestors sent to prison. January Sixers in prison. Most of them peaceful protestors. Some of them not even there. Businesses shut down. Americans kicked out of their jobs if they didn’t take an experimental injection.

A senile old man who couldn’t speak without a teleprompter sworn in as President. Abandoning Afghanistan to the Taliban. War in Ukraine. Hamas attacking Israel. Americans dead or captive in foreign lands. Boys beating up girls in girls sports. Children being cut up or drugged up and told they’re different genders. Wide open American borders with hundreds of thousands of women and children lost in the system. Illegal alien gang members killing Americans.

Trump shot on the campaign trail.

Presidential candidates from BOTH major parties joined Trump’s campaign because they couldn’t support what the government was doing. And then for the third general election in a row, the people came out and voted for the outsider again. And this time the polls stayed open. No 3AM vote dumps to flip the result like 2020.

Trump’s win in 2016 changed everything. And we all know what happened. Both the Democrat and Republican leaderships declared total war on him. The Hillary campaign paid for the creation of a report accusing Trump of being a Russian Agent, leaked it, and then the FBI used that leaked report to start an investigation against Trump and his appointees. Generals straight up refused to move troops when Trump ordered them, and bureaucrats and other appointees leaked both false and true things about him every day. They tried to break him. They DID break some of his appointees.

And when Trump succeeded against all that headwind and managed to improve all of our lives with a better economy, well then we had covid, and they decreed we had to shut down the economy to save lives. We couldn’t go to church or get together in large groups. It was unhealthy you see. But you could get together in large groups to riot and burn down the cities, like happened an hour away from where I live. The covid virus would recognize your moral good will and not infect you if you were rioting against the Orange Man Bad and the Racism Bad.

I knew going in that Trump winning in 2020 would be a heavy lift. Both political parties wanted him out. And the amount of censorship in the media and the unanimity of hatred of all things Trump was obvious to eyes that had long since learned not to trust any of those organizations. Mine. I haven’t trusted any of them since my twenties. But I still went out to vote. It is my duty as a citizen to do that. That’s the minimum we should do. Make our votes and voices heard so at least we have drawn a line and said that this is where we stand. So I voted for Trump on election day, went home, and waited to watch the unified powers of Washington and the media kick him out.

And then I saw the voice of the people in action. I watched the returns and I was amazed. The returns were clear. The voters had voted Trump and America went to sleep.
