Trump’s wrecking ball starts smashing Dem #Resistance

Although I’m still busy working on decluttering and early “Spring housecleaning,” I am trying to keep up with the news too. The truth is I never did that diligent Spring and Fall housecleaning that my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother did. If I had, my closets and garage wouldn’t look like this.

The Dem and liberal media hysterical spin effort to demonize and impede DOGE sounds sad and pathetic at this point. The Democrat corruption, from top to bottom of the Democratic Party apparatus might just collapse their party and I’m all in for the vast Dem corruption to be fully-exposed. Every Dem scandal in the past 30 years has covered up massive corruption, abuse of power and abuse of federal agencies for partisan purposes. The Dem weaponization of the federal government started long before Trump entered politics.

While I’m not some big Elon Musk fan or even a big fan of how Trump set this DOGE effort in motion, but truly compared to the Democrat corruption, their current caterwauling and fearmongering about a “constitutional crisis” is frankly absurd.

USAID fraud has been in the news, but wait until they get to the pandemic fraud, waste and abuse. The US government funded all of the COVID vaccines – that DO NOT work. As of January 2023, the US GAO reported the US government had provided about $4.6 trillion dollars for the pandemic response and recovery. There was widespread waste and fraud with spending all the way back to Bosnia, with NGOs.

On February 7, 2025 here’s a headline from the US Attorney’s Office District of Minnesota: Four More Defendants Plead Guilty to $250 Million Feeding Our Future Fraud Scheme

This case involves a scheme to fraudulently obtain and misappropriate $250 million dollars in federal child nutrition funds. One can only imagine what other massive fraud is buried in $4.6 trillion dollars of COVID funding. Then there was the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act which was really the Dems massive climate change spending bill, to the tune of $891 billion in spending on the Dem green agenda.

As Americans become more aware of the level of federal government inability to be good stewards of the people’s money, well, I suspect more will be demanding a massive change and some accountability. The people, in both parties, who signed on to all this reckless spending are just howling into the wind at this point.

The one thing I can say about Musk, is at least he has a proven track record at making money, lol. You don’t become the richest man in the world by sucking at money management. And while all the efforts in the past to try to run the government like a business have failed miserably, just exposing the fraud and waste and trying to rein in some of this is an important public service. Then perhaps our elected officials can start funding only the constitutionally prescribed government functions.

The Pentagon will be manning the battlements and digging a moat to try to thwart any effort to penetrate the inner-sanctum of corrupt Pentagon money-handlers.

It’s kind of wild the level of Dem and media hysteria already, considering Trump hasn’t even been in office a month yet.

The federal government’s need for serious housecleaning is way worse than my own house’s need, that’s for sure. If Trump makes even a small dent in the Washington corruption, he should be lauded. I’m all for Trump’s wrecking ball to start smashing the Dem #Resistance into a pile dust.

    Though at present it probably seems all this USAID boondoggling was always and thus a Dem slush fund operation recent history suggests a thoroughly bi-partisan enterprise:

    And that’s but a single “theater of operations.”

    Africa would likely take an encyclopedic set to set forth an adequate record!

  2. I’m sure you’re right, JK. I remember watching a news report during the Bosnia adventure and a reporter was talking to a refugee woman and hyping the rape counselors who were sent and the refugee was saying they need a home and food, not rape counselors. This kind of disconnect, I suspect is pervasive.

    No telling how many feminist and liberal causes became part of the federal gravy train in the Afghanistan and Iraq adventures/Syrian refugee crisis and now the Ukraine and Palestinian mess in Gaza. Samantha Power has always been first in line to “nudge” (sorry had to get a dig in at her husband)… more like elbow her way in front of cameras in hot spots, to wail about the need for US aid.

    I’m actually rather entertained watching the liberal meltdowns and hysteria. Trump cutting these federal purse strings couldn’t happen to a phonier bunch of grifters.

      I’m entertained too LB.

      (I’m so ashamed of myself entertained the likes of Victoria Nuland’s Kagrodile tears. As if!)

      So so ashamed. Don’t know I’ll ever recover …

      Heh heh
