DOGE and its boss, Elon Musk, have … focused their activity on the eradication of the federal civil service, along with its culture and values, and its replacement with something different. In other words: regime change.

Bullcrap! They have focused their efforts on the eradication of theft and waste in federal spending. The fact that some bureaucrats are in the line of fire should see those people removed from their jobs. Those thieves are collateral damage from being part of the swindle. I feel absolutely no empathy for any of them.

We need to say it to them over and over every time they come out with some crap like this: “Elections have consequences”.

"Culture and "values"" - that would be, "I have job security forever, and will do what I want, and you can't stop me".

We are about 1 month into the inverse transformation, in normal speak the restoration of American greatness.

The name and regime at DOGE has been changed, and rightly so.

“Culture and values” = pushing perversion.

NONE of these ranters would tolerate any waste & theft in their OWN BUSINESSES.

ALL their focus on a cushy job with little or no standards is another indication of the ROT in AMERICA.

Trump might ask Congress to provide his cabinet secretaries the general power to simply terminate up to 5% of their workforces annually without ado.

To avoid being among the 5%, a far larger percentage will perform much better.

It has become clear that much larger percentage workforce reductions are needed at several agencies such as USAID and the CDC. Congress should provide the legal authorization for their federal workforce and spending reduction at all due speed.

Atlantic has been woke trash for decades since I used to read it in the 60s-70s.

The only reason I broke with my policy of ignoring it and I read something from the January, 2025 issue was the cover story on Seamus Heaney.
For those who missed the book On Seamus Heaney by Roy Foster (Princeton University Press, 2020) it came out in paperback in 2022. Pretty good.

THIS is why they fought so hard against Trump.

Not racism, sexism, misogyny, being a jerk, danger to democracy, existential threat, constitutional crisis, Hitler, fascist, blah blah blah.

It was exposing their corruption that has enriched them all for so long. The Donald is far, far exceeding my wildest hopes and I am loving it.

I want Kennedy to go after FDA's revolving door between it and big pharma ... and I also want him to look into monopolistic practices in the world of pharma.

I have two type 1 children. Costly insulin has been on the market, what, 80, 90 years and there are only three companies that make it. How can that be?

The Atlantic’s author is right about one thing: The Deep State is a “regime” - an extortionist, money-laundering, freedom-crushing, murderous regime, every bit as criminal as the is Mafia.

"We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." — Barack Hussein Obama, October 30, 2008"
And we are 28 days into changing it back to a Republic.

TrumpII is the End of the Obama Army. The End of the Clintonites. The End of the Third Way. The end of grievance politics.

Obama? Bobo can't be interviewed for fear of being asked about his life as a homosexual fantasizer.

Obama's own biographer said that Bobo was not just on the down-low but a homosexual fantasizer. That revelation came from Obama's official biographer -- a Putlitzer Prize winner in the employ of the Manhattan publishing houses -- oy gevalt!. You all realize that Obama has never sat for an interview after that biographer dropped the dime on Bobo in mid-2023.

You want to see down-low? Watch how down-low and near-invisible the dedication of Bobo's Liebrary is next year.

The one thing that bothers me is that the Dems have been told to bunker down and take the hit from Trump and focus on the mid-terms, when some of this will have been forgotten.

Meanwhile, we will unfortunately have partially solved the Democrat's tranny problem, and rooted out marxists that the Democrats will casually discard.

Now if the Democrats are stupid enough to keep their tranny problem intact and promote their marxists, then the GOP will add seats on November 3, 2026.
