Excellent. We do not have the money.

We must balance the budget.

When leather-clad singer Rob Halford of the heavy metal band Judas Priest toured the United States in 1978, he picked up a piece of subversive literature in San Francisco to steer him safely as he sought companionship on the road.

As Halford later divulged in his 2020 memoir, not even bandmates on his tour bus could guess that this Damron guidebook provided their front man with a coded treasure map to America’s gay underworld, from Texas truck stops to Detroit bookstores, as they shuttled from gig to gig.


They are all interconnected and in our government.

That should be over—today.

I am reading (from first person accounts, no media confirmation) that all grants have been frozen/stopped.

Arts and Sciences used to mean mechanical arts, like drafting.

Not to mention it has no constitutional authority to pay out welfare or any number of other unconstitutional, money-wasting programs that just launder the money into the uni-party’s pockets.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me glad I voted Trump despite disagreeing with him on other things. The dismantling of the bureaucracy is critical.
