This week the same press which has consistently lied about Trump confected a split between the DOGE team and Trump.
I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember the musical Brigadoon. It was about a Scottish village that disappears in the mists and only reappears once every hundred years. The District of Columbia and its federal components often remind me of that. On a local level (perhaps a tradition from pre-air conditioning days) the place is somnolent for all practical purposes in the summer and even through much of the spring. Then, just before Thanksgiving, the courts suddenly schedule hearings on cases that have been moldering for months in the clerks’ offices and Congress starts to hustle to get a continuing resolution -- to cover what should have been resolved months earlier -- before the Christmas recess. Past the miasma of the damp hot weather, the city once again is animated.
One hundred years ago Republican Calvin Coolidge was serving out his first term in office. He was known for being anti-corruption, a proponent of small government and racial equality, and held office during the “Roaring Twenties,” a period of vast economic growth.
One hundred years later, the nation overwhelmingly elected Donald J. Trump for a second term of office -- broken only by a suspicious election of Joe Biden who has proved a disaster in every conceivable sense. Biden’s running mate sought the presidency upon Biden’s decision (was it really his?) not to seek a second term, and she was roundly beaten at the polls.
Like Coolidge, Trump campaigned on a marked reduction of the federal government and fiscal restraint. To aid him in reducing the size of the federal government and rein in unnecessary spending, he has tapped two very successful entrepreneurs

The press will try to create turmoil for the Trunp administration. I hope they are prepared.
We are not.
Look at all the Freepers and other conservatives flipping out over the HB1 thing.
Yeah, they should be more like DUmpsters and other America-last leftists and just shut up about the whole thing.
Hadn't thought of it that way, but yes, quit being such negative Nellies, STFU, and let things play out to see how it goes.
Are you human or AI?
Leftist troll?
Sirius Lee has been here longer than AI was an actual thing.
Not as long as you, but he’s no AI.
Yes, I am a bot: "Beep Beep."
Yes, you are a leftist troll: "Whaaa whaaa, why can't MAGA voters be censored? Whaaa"
Why not start their own businesses?
Negative attitudes get one nowhere.
Why are Indians looking for jobs in America?
Why not start their own businesses?
I retired at 51 right before the scamdemic having started two (and selling the second) of my own businesses.
Negative attitudes get one nowhere.
Why do Musk and Vivek have such negative attitudes towards Americans?
Sodom, DC.
Musk and Vivek did this to themselves in public on X with their own stupid tweets. MAGA voters have agency and they were righteously angry at what these two H1B plantation owners said - they want more H1B slaves to the detriment of American citizens. The press really didn’t have anything to do with this time.
Not Brigadoon.
Mos Eisley.
“Look at all the Freepers and other conservatives flipping out over the HB1 thing.”
This election was about rampant, predatory and invasive immigration. Trump either lives up to his promises or he will lose voters, lose the House in the 2026 midterms, be impeached in 2027, and in jail by 2028.
Maybe from having to deal with the present crop of DEI and woke college grads that you won't even show up to work once you hire them.
A real bot would say “Boop Beep”. You are a fake bot.
I am very pleased with the triumvirate model operating under the Emperor.
But triumvirs, even if they helped sit the Emperor on his throne and even if they are wealthy, must show due deference - and if they think that the power behind the throne actually SITS on the throne, they usually get beheaded.
Pray for wisdom on all sides.
You insult me, Sir!
“”disappears in the mists and only reappears once every hundred years.””
Who wouldn’t be in favor of that for DC?
