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.

We thought we'd never get tired of all the winning, but we had no idea. Tired? We have more energy than the freshly unleashed Permian Basin. In a mere ten days, President Trump has comprehensively repudiated everything the left has tried to build over the last half-century. ​​​​​​​America First Patriots are going to win. We’re going to use our power to do what must be done to save the nation - and those who fool around by getting in the way will find out good and hard. 

On Feb. 1, the Democratic National Committee will gather in suburban Maryland to elect a new chair. The fundamental question they face is how to focus and moderate their instinct to fight every single thing President Donald Trump does. If some -- perhaps many -- of the things the president does are popular, then across-the-board Democratic resistance will serve to make Democrats unpopular. Some Democrats see the problem, and want to pick their spots to criticize, but others can't help themselves.

You’d think adults could conduct themselves like, well, adults. Yet, when those adults are liberal Democrats, you’d be better off dealing with a teenage girl (no offense to teenage girls). They have no ability to think rationally, believe incredibly stupid and obviously false things, engage in double standards, cry like they just got dumped for the first time, and pursue petty vengeance against anyone who disagrees with them like a jilted lover.

During a National Prayer Service for the newly sworn-in President Trump, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington D.C. hijacked the sermon and rebuked Mr. Trump — as he sat right in front of her — for supposedly portraying illegal aliens and transgender children "in the harshest of lights." When Snoop Dogg performed for the Trump Inauguration, Ann Navarro of "The View" — in racist fashion — called the African-American rapper "a trained seal."

Good riddance to the World Health Organization -- more aptly called the Woke Health Oligarchy. On his first day, President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from WHO, a necessary step in putting the health of Americans first. Immediately the left-wing media sounded the alarm, quoting globalist-minded scientists at American universities and think tanks falsely claiming that Trump's move will isolate the U.S. from worldwide efforts to detect and limit deadly diseases.

Common ground between the appeal of Donald Trump in 2025 and the appeal of King in 1963 is that both were about the pressing need to be faithful to the founding principles of the country. Trump's MAGA message in 2025 is that the nation has destructively strayed from these principles. King's message in 1963 was that the country failed and was failing to live up to those founding principles. However, common ground for both was and is concurrence about the validity of those founding principles -- a free nation under God -- and the critical importance of being true to them.

Our long national nightmare will end as Joe Biden wanders off aimlessly to run out the clock in Delawarever chasing squirrels and watching “Matlock” while President Donald J. Trump goes the full Grover Cleveland and becomes the 47th President of the United States of America.Biden leaves a legacy of book-ended failures, starting with the disgraceful, bloody rout in Afghanistan and climaxing with the fires in Los Angeles. He was an unmitigated disaster. Everything for the last four years has sucked. 

No Republican has held statewide office in California in 20 years. The last Republican mayor of Los Angeles left office in 2001. Of the 15 members of the Los Angeles City Council, none is a Republican. Of the five Los Angeles County Supervisors, one is a Republican. Democrats hold super-majorities in the California State Assembly and the Senate. Democrats can, and do, pass legislation without a single Republican vote.

New Yorkers, Chicagoans, Denverites and other blue-city residents should feel scared as they watch Los Angeles neighborhoods obliterated by fire. These other cities could be next, victims of the same dysfunctional one-party government that puts woke priorities ahead of disaster prevention and readiness. ​​​​​​​Voters in blue cities had better be watching the destruction and disaster in Los Angeles – and realize that at some point in their futures, they'll get what they voted for too.

Nothing is more effective in politics than someone who switches sides. Some people would call them “traitors,” but I view them more as prostitutes – they go where the money is. But they were where the money was, until the money wasn’t or they learned there was more money playing for the other team. But one thing you’ll notice with all of them is they happily hammered the checks while they were on the other side and they never, ever give the money back. A conscience only goes so far.

The United States faces numerous threats to our homeland, and we need a leader at the helm of the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) who has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to protecting American values, sovereignty, and security. In our view, South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem is that leader.  Her record of leadership, belief in the rule of law, and commitment to public safety are why the South Dakota State Fraternal Order of Police support her.

You can answer that for yourself. But the fact is, the Donald Trump transition is turning out to be quite ... normal. The president-elect is busy hammering out policy proposals and staffing his administration. Democrats are, of course, criticizing Trump and promising to give some of his nominees a hard time in confirmation hearings. But that is the sort of thing one always sees in transitions from one party to the other.

I was watching MSNBC the other day – I know, but it is fun to look into a parallel universe where progressive ideals appeal to the vast majority of Americans, it makes me appreciate reality all the more – and I had to check my phone to make sure I had the right year. You wouldn’t know it was 2024 if you’d just gone by the rhetoric belching its way over the airwaves. Donald Trump is a Russian stooge – a tool of Putin – who is only interested in…well, you know the rest of that song. They learned nothing from the election.
