It's time for all of us to ensure that those working tirelessly to root out waste, fraud and abuse in Washington, D.C. don't fall for the “fake news” that the media and others are spreading. Nationwide political chatter is focused on cleaning up the D.C. Swamp, cutting billions of fat in absentee employees, and stopping the Scandalous Boondoggle Spending – which is long, long overdue. Here's one effective tool to help working-class patients and providers – and prevent further stains on the American Taxpayer.

At some point, some president was going to have to stop the unsustainable spending and borrowing. To have any country left, some president would eventually have had to restore a nonexistent border and stop the influx of 3 million illegal aliens a year. Some commanders-in-chief finally would have to try to stop the theater wars abroad. But any president who dared to do any of that would be damned for curbing the madness that his predecessors fueled. And so none did -- until now.

President Donald Trump entered his 2nd Term with a bold agenda and unprecedentedly rapid action. Joe Biden left Donald Trump with a shaky economy. So, what should Team Trump do? First, the focus should quickly shift toward cutting regulations – the true sand in the gears of American Consumers and Commerce. Second, the Republican Congress must make Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts permanent. And third, there is only one path forward toward economic prosperity for the United States.

Despite losing the 2024 Election, Democrats continue to try and claim Donald Trump represents "a Constitutional Crisis." But if there is one – which there isn't – they should know by now that most Americans blame THEM for violating the Constitution's boundaries and restrictions against excess government. A majority now sympathizes with our nation's 30th president, Calvin Coolidge, who a century ago said: "Unless the people – through unified action – arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them."

In neighborhoods across America, families go about their daily lives never imagining the shadow of violent cartels could be creeping into their communities. But make no mistake, ruthless gangs and cartels are not just a border problem – they are here exploiting loopholes to traffic drugs, launder money, and destroy lives. When states are inactive, drug cartels and human traffickers thrive. Criminals exploit weak policies and political inaction to sustain their operations. It's time to take a stand.

There’s something about being exposed that causes stupidity; a kneejerk reaction to push back against reality, no matter how obvious. As DOGE and President Donald Trump work to expose and fight government waste, fraud and abuse (how sad is it that they have to FIGHT Democrats to end those things?), more ways in which the federal government has been doing those things is coming to light.  As a result of this disinfecting glow of sunlight, people are losing their jobs. While that’s never fun, those jobs are simply unnecessary

Three recent but completely unrelated events illustrate the deranged hatred of President Donald Trump and his supporters continuing now even into a second decade. And yet the venom only further marginalizes the left. In its too-long 50th anniversary spectacle, Saturday Night Live offered a skit in which marquee actor Tom Hanks did an impression of what the left thinks is a supposedly Neanderthal Trump supporter.

President Trump correctly points out that tariffs, at one time, served as the principal source of federal government revenue. From the nation's founding until the Civil War, tariffs generated 90% of federal revenue. From the Civil War until 1913, when the Constitution was amended to provide an income tax, tariffs produced 50%. In 1900, government at all three levels -- federal, state & local -- took less than 9% in taxes and fees from the American people. Today, it takes about 32%.

New York is already getting sued by the Trump administration for prioritizing illegal aliens over the safety of Americans. Get ready for New York City to be slammed with similar suits. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul blusters that the legal action is a "worthless, publicity-driven lawsuit" that will "be a total failure." Hochul insists "New York is not backing not down." She's dead wrong about the merits of the lawsuit. It's a slam dunk.

The left and their comrades in the MSM are whining about Donald Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America – but notice they only bring up objections, avoiding mention of the favorable reasons. The most obvious is that “America” includes Mexico and the Lower Continents too – which I haven’t read in a single fake news article. The left rails against conservatives who refuse to call transgenders by their newly chosen opposite gender names, but yet seems to have no problem renaming landmarks. 

Here are some of the untruths being told about Elon Musk and DOGE: "No one elected Musk. Musk has no right to cut USAID." Well, Elon Musk and his team are NOT cutting any Federal Programs. They are auditors given legal authority under no less than a Presidential Executive Order creating the Dept. of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Its mandate is to identify waste, abuse, fraud, and irrelevance in the federal budget at a time when the U.S. is $37 trillion in debt. The agency will expire on July 4th, 2026.

Now we know why DOGE, Trump & Musk are constantly under attack for the simple act of trying to make sure all of us taxpayers don’t get ripped off – turns out that dern near the entire left and Democrat Party exists because we're being ripped off! Every time a Republican sneezed in the last decade there was a mob of Democrats there to protest it. But now the laughable “protests” we’ve seen in D.C. consist of government union members, Democrat hill staffers, and party grunts. That’s all that show up!

The day after the U.S. Senate voted 99-0 to confirm Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he gave a speech to the employees of the State Department in Washington, DC. Americans had elected Donald Trump, he said, with "a very clear mission" in foreign policy. "That mission is to ensure that our foreign policy is centered on one thing – the advancement of our national interest, which they clearly defined through his campaign as anything that makes us stronger, or safer, or more prosperous." It is not to remake the world.

On Friday, this outstanding news landed: “Musk’s team entered the headquarters of the CFPB, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Musk’s allies sought access to information technology systems and communicated with staff. Three Musk allies, some of whom are tied to his DOGE Department of Government Efficiency, have now embedded with the consumer bureau according to the CFPB’s employees union." Says Mr. Musk, “‘Delete CFPB. There are too many duplicative regulatory agencies.”

Not one single person in the Democrat Party – either elected or in journalism – has commented positively on anything the DOGE (Dept. of Government Efficiency) has uncovered and ended so far. Nothing. That tells you something. No matter how wasteful, no matter how absurd, no matter how insane or stupid, Democrats are angry (and yes, quite scared actually,) that DOGE even exists. BUT, we taxpayers have known for years we are being ripped off. The DOGE work must continue.

Because you’re a normal person with a life who doesn’t have time to monitor the 1,000s of federal government agencies that squander tax dollars while subsidizing progressive policies around the world, there’s a better than average chance you’ve never heard of USAID, the United States Agency for International Development. But, now we can see why Democrats get so upset at the idea of auditing the books and shining a little sunlight on government.

The left's gleefully predicting that President Trump’s proposed tariffs will exacerbate the nation's already high costs of goods & services caused by "Bidenflation." But the CEO of South Korea’s Hyundai says investing in the U.S. is the best antidote to tariffs, and is considering building a plant here. Germany's Audi and Porsche are considering doing the same. Joe Biden's Press Sect. Karine Jean-Pierre even said they’re “all about protecting American workers and businesses.”

When White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced last week that the White House Briefing Room would be open to reporters for "new media" – including podcasters & websites – she was acknowledging the power and reach of the outlets that now-President Donald Trump made himself available to, which were ignored by Democrat Kamala Harris. The one constant among resisters to change, is that they are left behind when the change comes.

The Left and the Democrat Party have taken something meant to right a wrong, and manipulated it to the advantage of those entering the country illegally. The 14th Amendment was written in 1868 to clarify that the newly Emancipated Slaves were granted all the privileges and rights of "citizenship." There is nothing in the historical record to suggest the authors had the slightest intent to grant "citizenship" to all born on American soil – much less those with parents living here illegally.

After four years of Biden's appeasement, Mexico seems to assume that it has a sovereign right to encourage the flight of millions of its own impoverished citizens illegally into the U.S. and further assumes that it can fast-track millions of Latin Americans through its territory and across our border. Mexico either cannot or will not address the billions of dollars of raw fentanyl products shipped in -- mostly from China -- and then processed for export to the U.S. by its cartels across a nonexistent border.
