Too big not to Fail

 

Lack of oversight facilitates fraud.

Total federal spending in 2000 was $1.789 Trillion. Fast forward 25 years and federal spending has ballooned to $7.010 Trillion, almost quadrupling. The size and scope of the federal government has exceeded its ability to monitor and manage its vast tentacles as it attempts to impact every aspect of our lives. And some are just fine with that. There is no government spending program that democrats do not believe is absolutely essential, or that is too frivolous, in their efforts to spend our tax dollars. Case in point; USAID. Billions of tax dollars wasted on programs, with little or no oversight, that did nothing to actually fulfill the role in which it was created. Yet, democrats fought tooth and nail for each and every wasteful spending adventure in transgender education for Sudan and the like.

Oversight for this spending lies with Congress. 535 members cannot conduct the appropriate oversight with the scope of a government that surpasses understanding. The nearest star to the earth, Proxima Centauri, is 4.24 light years away, or approximately 25 trillion miles. Federal spending this year, if dollars were substituted with miles, would get us almost 1/3 of the way to Proxima Centauri. The Federal debt is over $37Trillion, or 12 trillion miles beyond our nearest star. Wrapping one’s head around the vastness of those numbers is almost beyond the capacity of human ability. Factor in the deep state’s desire to protect themselves from oversight and with programs that basically write blank checks, and you get a recipe for disaster with an avenue for rampant fraud.

Washington is the epitome of “pay for play.” You scratch my back by facilitating a contract with my firm and you get rewarded with a $6-7 figure job in the private sector when you retire. Many of our elected “representatives” have accrued wealth far beyond their salary accumulation, precisely because they know how to use their status for gain. This DC two-step is not solely a one-party problem, it is widespread throughout local, State, and Federal government, with elected officials and bureaucrats benefiting alike. There is no rational explanation for career politicians amassing such wealth, other than they are receiving illicit payments. And why would so many of our elected representatives resist passing legislation that prohibits “insider” stock trading by Congress?

For Marxism to take root and spread, capitalism must be dismantled. One strategy is to spend the government into oblivion. In 1966, leftist sociologists Richard Cloward and Francis Fox-Piven developed a plan to generate societal chaos by overwhelming the welfare system. This Cloward-Piven Strategy opens the door to the creation of a federal program of income redistribution. It then becomes necessary to subsidize even more of the poor once the welfare system collapses. The term “stimulus” is simply a pretense for income redistribution. The government takes from producers and gives to nonproducers, increasing dependency on federal government support. A representative government is replaced with an elite ruling class, a tyrannical autocracy that makes the rules and has the sole power to enforce them. Sound familiar? It is part and parcel of the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) policy platform.

This is the AOC/Bernie Sanders wing of the democrat party, one that “mainstream” democrats have little issue with as they fail to distance themselves from its radical policies. Any port in the storm when your primary goal is to seek, gain and maintain power and authority. If it increases odds of a democrat takeover, to them, that is a path well taken, no matter the consequences to this nation. The current democrat party is wholly unrecognizable from the party of JFK. Today’s Republican party is more representative of the “blue dog democrats” that placed country over party, than today’s democrats that will abandon their responsibility to constituents just to undermine President Trump.

Placing some of our representatives in charge of managing oversight for $Trillions in Federal spending, is like making a fox responsible for guarding the henhouse. Tax dollars go out the door to pet programs and money returns to the democrat national committee (DNC) via non-profits and NGO’s that were tasked to manage and distribute the funds to the “worthy” causes. Smurfs were utilized by the democrat fundraising site Act Blue to launder $Millions to democrat causes and candidates. Investigations continue that may lead to the discovery of tax dollars earmarked for USAID programs and money sent to Ukraine to aid in their war effort against Russia, that was redirected to the DNC in millions of donations small enough to evade detection by the Federal Election Commission.

This fraud is happening in plain sight, discovered by independent journalists, like Nick Shirley and James OKeefe, that are not in the pocket of the democrat party as is most of the legacy media. But there is a solution available to every US citizen. The opportunity to win this fight against dishonest politicians occurs every other year. We the people hold the key to hold the wicked accountable. Your informed vote can put good people into office, just as it can remove those who betray the public trust. Democrats, as constituted, have betrayed their duty to represent the public and must be voted out of office. We the people have the duty to elect those who understand their obligation as public servants. We also have the duty to remove those who do not. Make your vote count this November.

 

 

The Squeaky Wheel

 

Liberals bite the hand that feeds them!

Trump Derangement Syndrome is very real for our liberal democrat friends. No matter what policy is put forward by this administration, democrats howl in opposition. That it benefits their constituency matters not. If they can delay, deter or derail said policies, they continue to rail against this duly elected President. Democrat appointed judges rule on cases in which they have no jurisdiction, and democrats line up to support their usurpation of power yet squeal when the conservative majority of Supreme Court Justices uphold Trump’s policies. Accused “Tyrant” Trump abides by these rulings while they are appealed to a higher court, yet he stands accused by the left of destroying democracy.

The left uses this nation’s freedoms to undermine the rule of law. Democrat elected officials refuse to acknowledge Federal supremacy in matters of immigration enforcement. They declare themselves sanctuary cities, order police to stand down, let Federal agents be attacked with impunity, and refuse to notify ICE when criminals are released, often to reoffend. Democrat elected officials place the blame for the violence they encouraged on the ICE officers that are simply conducting their lawful duties. If criminals were released to ICE in the safety of the jails, ICE would not have to search the community for these criminals. This is tantamount to setting a fire, then obstructing the firefighters from extinguishing the flames, and finally blaming the firefighters as the fire spreads out of control.

Democrat rhetoric is out of control. They understand that ending corruption, cleaning up the voter rolls, and deporting illegal aliens stands to erode their power and position. Open your eyes. Democrats care only about maintaining their power so that they can keep enriching themselves and their families. The FBI/DOJ has recovered election documents from Fulton County (Atlanta) Georgia and Maricopa County (Phoenix) Arizona after grand juries issued subpoenas for those documents. Whether President Trump’s insistence that the 2020 election was stolen should either be confirmed or refuted once and for all.

From a Washington Examiner opinion piece by Christopher Tremoglie, ”The people are being lied to about the Iran war, and the deception is coming from the elected leaders of the country. Doomsday narratives concocting scenarios of U.S. struggles, chaos, disorganization, and failure flood legacy media broadcasts. As mentioned above, such consistent deceptive accounts of events in Iran legitimately suggest Democrats and their accomplices in the media actually want the U.S. to lose in battle so Trump could suffer political consequences. It is a sick and twisted political reality, and it shows the depths of depravity to which Democrats and legacy media will sink to achieve their political objectives.”

If democrats continue to erode their duty to stand guard as the loyal opposition by continuously demonizing their opponents, our government will cease to function. Holding the nation hostage as a strategy to obstruct passing the SAVE Act, supported by 80% of the people, and block funding for DHS, will embolden the radical left to continue their crusade to destroy the rule of law, and with it this nation. If the leftist lunatics believe that their tirades are unduly influencing the democrats, they will continue escalating on their divisive path. All of which makes the 2026 mid-terms even more important.

Democrats care not what their reckless behavior and rhetoric bring, as long as they regain their majority. If they do, get ready for open borders, ID free elections, transgender surgeries on demand, European style speech enforcement, and a determined effort to replace the free market with “democratic” socialism. Do not let the low information voters decide who represents us in Congress. Vote for those whose values are in line with the mainstream. Vote for those who love God first and themselves secondarily. Vote for those who are truly public servants and not self-anointed rulers once they gain office.

If democrats prevail in November, all gains made in the last two years will be lost. The House will devolve into impeachment theater, grinding the government to a halt. And if you think your 401-K’s have taken a hit during the attacks on Iran, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Inflation will jump again as they obstruct any efforts to uncover fraud and waste. This is not hyperbole. All you need to do is remember what happened during the Biden administration and can currently witness in democrat run states and cities. Democrats are desperate and will stop at nothing to gain power again. If they prevail, all bets are off. Together, we have the power to prevent this. This is a nation that is of, by, and for the people. Make your vote count!

 

Integration

 

Islam will not relent until all convert.

Funny how life can often be boiled down into Star Trek episode plot lines. Back to the Borg, the all-conquering aliens that will assimilate all cultures into their own. Islam is less a religion than it is a political ideology. Muslims have emigrated throughout the western world like locusts, rejecting each welcoming nation’s culture and refusing to integrate into society. Like the Borg, their end goal is to overcome all who refuse to accept their prophet Mohammed, acknowledge Allah as their god, and replace the current government with Islamic rule.

Sexual assaults in European nations that welcome Muslim immigrants have exploded, with Muslim rape gangs committing multiple offenses. Islam apparently relegates women to less than human status. The Quran (4:34) gives license for men to subjugate women and encourages husbands to use corporal punishment to ensure their obedience. So much for equality.

Islam rejects homosexuality outright and instructs its followers to stone or to kill those transgressors.  Quran 7:80-84 "...For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)"

 "An account that is borrowed from the Biblical story of Sodom. Muslim scholars through the centuries have interpreted the "rain of stones" on the town as meaning that homosexuals should be stoned, since no other reason is given for the people's destruction." - The religionofpeace.com.

In 2025, followers of Islam, the alleged religion of peace, perpetrated 2010 attacks in 48 countries, killing 14004 and injuring 6653. So much for the religion of peace. Peace to Islam is simply uttering the phrase, “Peace be upon him.” But what of the moderate Muslims? They are few and far between and their failure to condemn violence in the name of Allah is deafening.

In the Middle Ages most Christians could not read. They depended upon Catholic priests to impart Biblical teachings to them. Their spiritual life was dependent upon Catholic church doctrine and traditions. Yet, mass was performed in Latin, a language few understood, until the 20^th century. It is not surprising that many wayward traditions, such as indulgences, arose during this time. Many Muslim clerics preach Islamism, a more radical and abhorrent interpretation of the Quran and how Muslims are to interact in society. This is how radicals are created and encouraged.

Islam instructs its followers to reject everything that makes western society and the United States unique. Tolerance is not to be offered, particularly to the non-believer. Muslims are using the freedoms of western society to overthrow the very nations that welcome them. Islam is antithetical to a free and open society.

The Bible encourages hospitality. It also advises to use wisdom to avoid thieves or those who would cause you or your family harm. One must apply discernment when offering charity, serving those who truly are in need.

“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” - Galatians 6:10

As we open our nation to refugees, we must make certain to offer our freedoms to those who would accept them gratefully, agree to obey our laws, and integrate into society. Muslims that refuse should have our hospitality revoked and sent back to their country of origin. Muslims stand accused of defrauding US taxpayer of tens of $Billions. Yet their Quran (16:106, 3:54, 3:28) condones and even encourages dishonesty and deceitfulness when dealing with non-believers in order to gain their trust so that they can be defeated. The tenets of Islam do not comport with a civil society. The behaviors that it condones must be rejected. Islam is wedded to 7^th Century conduct that is wholly unacceptable today. Islam cannot and will not co-exist with our values.

Allowing Islam to grow and spread within this nation will ultimately concede our way of life to an Islamic theocracy. We need to look no further than the European nations that have opened their borders and have been overwhelmed by the Muslim horde. If Muslim have their way, the United States will be no more. Muslim clerics preach hate and denigrate the very nation offering them hospitality, yet we fail to understand the threat to this nation.

“They will devour your harvest and food; they will consume your sons and daughters; they will eat up your flocks and herds; they will feed on your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust.” – Jeremiah 5:17

 

Let me Entertain you

 

Democrats engage in Kabuki theater.

Just as the entertainers that heap praise upon each other at their “award” shows, democrats in Congress play to their audience. Look at me as I challenge those evil Republicans and stand up to the tyranny of Trump! Aren’t I so very special, brave, and virtuous! Politicians always seem to perform for their constituency in front of the cameras, but democrats have brought it to an entirely new and disgusting level. There is absolutely nothing that would embarrass these erstwhile public servants.

Democrat representative LaMonica McIver, indicted for obstructing federal officers while storming an ICE facility, insinuates that the ICE director is going to hell at a Congressional hearing. Quite rich from the party that offers pre-born child sacrifices to Baal. If anyone has a reservation on the rocket sled to hell it would be those who revel in the murder of defenseless unborn babies.

Democrat representative and erstwhile Texas Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett has yet to discover a camera that triggers her to opine on all things she apparently knows nothing about. Her latest escapade in interview “excellence” involved falsely claiming President Trump is a pedophile and that “We’re gonna be on his ass.” Apparently indicating that democrats expect to win the House and begin impeachment after impeachment. Congressional members that have abused their positions for personal gain are in the crosshairs of the DOJ. As Crockett is one of our “representatives” that has exponentially increased her personal wealth during her term of office, she should not be throwing stones from her glass house.

Democrat representative, Communist China spy aficionado, and declared candidate for California Governor, Eric Swalwell, looks directly into the camera and promises to revoke the driver’s licenses of all ICE agents operating in California if elected. Raging leftists applaud as he takes a bow. Not one of the most intelligent members of Congress and prone to flatulence on camera, Swalwell is adept at exposing his lack of intelligence when attempting “gotcha” questions during hearings and while ignoring the fact that he really did sleep with a Chinese spy while he sat on the House Intelligence Committee.

Democrat Minnesota Attorney General testifies before the Senate and denies inciting violence in his state. "The president is deliberately weaponizing the federal government against the people of Minnesota to inflict pain and instill terror." Keith Ellison. “Ellison has emerged as the voice of resistance as Minnesota has emerged as its face.” “In Ellison’s view, Trump targeted Minnesota for three main reasons: The state voted for his opponent in all three of Trump’s election bids by close margins, state officials refused a request from the White House to provide personal information about registered voters, and they resisted scrutiny of the state’s social services programs.” Keith L. Alexander, Bloomberg Law article, January 29, 2026. During the hearing he denied any responsibility for escalating citizen confrontation of ICE agents in Minneapolis. As Senator Ron Johnson brought the receipts, Ellison sat there with a smirk on his face. Ellison’s rhetoric led to the deaths of two Minneapolis citizens, and he has the audacity to sit there and grin.

Democrat representative Ilhan Omar, most well-known for her antisemitic and anti-American rhetoric, has been implicated in the Somali fraud investigations in Minneapolis. She has also increased her net worth by over $30Million since she was elected to Congress in 2019.

Democrat representative Nancy Pelosi is now worth over $278Million, with her net worth increasing exponentially during her tenure in Congress. In 2024 alone, her portfolio increased over 54%, more than doubling the 25% stock market return, and trouncing hedge fund returns. She denies any insider trading advantage her positions on committees offer her.

Democrat representative Rashida Talib is currently under investigation for ties to numerous terrorist networks.

Democrat Senators Mark Kelly and Elisa Slotnick, democrat representatives Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chrissy Houlihan, and Chris Deluzio published a video exhorting members of the military to disobey “unlawful” orders. This video was intentionally vague to create conflict when receiving orders from the Commander in Chief, President Trump. Although none were indicted when the DOJ sought to prosecute them, the intent of their message is more than troubling. Their actions to subvert the military chain of command is reprehensible and even without a grand jury indictment, should be condemned. Placing partisan opposition before duty to the Constitution and their oath of office is abhorrent.

Democrats certainly do not hold exclusive authority on fraud, corruption and treachery, but they have certainly perfected their craft. Those who choose to vote for democrats do so at the risk of placing people in authority that have their own self interests ahead of those they seek to represent. Public servants are to be just that. They are to place themselves secondary to those they represent. They are not to rule; they are to represent the interests of their constituency. They are not to be considered better than the “unwashed masses,” they are to consider themselves bound to the service of others. Somehow, this has been lost to many of our representatives. There are those who understand their place and honor their oath to serve, but few of them belong to the democrat party.

The Constitution is the bedrock of all our freedoms; guard and cherish it; keep honor and order in your own house; and the republic will endure.” Gerald Ford

The deep partisan divide is driving this nation apart. When the minority party is more concerned with derailing a sitting president than enacting policies to improve the lives of Americans, something is horribly wrong. Democrats are willing to burn the nation down in order to stop Trump. They bring nothing positive, only divisiveness. Democrats must be defeated at the ballot box. They must become the small minority that they truly are. Democrats must never regain power. If they do, our nation will be fundamentally transformed.

We the People

 

Rioting is organized and targeted….. At you.

There is good reason that the 1^st Amendment protects our most important and inalienable rights. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

“Peaceably to assemble and to petition the government.” Therein lies the rub. What we have been witnessing in democrat run cities across the nation is a well-organized, well-funded effort to create chaos. These riots are part of a deliberate, well thought out plan to destabilize our government, the first step in a fundamental transformation of this nation. Sound familiar? This slogan was part and parcel of Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign. Democrat party legislators throw their support behind the protesters, vilify ICE, or stand mute, any of which tacitly support the overthrow of a duly elected President and obstruction of his administration’s policies.

An alternate universe has seemingly replaced reality as the left controls the streets and the legacy media affirms their “just” cause. This entire scenario is orchestrated by “woke” far left mayors and governors in blue cities by their refusal to, not only not cooperate with ICE, but to declare their cities “sanctuaries” for illegal aliens. By not cooperating, their court and jail system refuses to notify ICE when criminal illegal aliens are released. In other words, criminal illegal aliens are released back onto the street to reoffend instead of ICE taking them into custody. This in turn, requires ICE to search the community for the criminal illegals, where they also arrest other illegal aliens as collateral damage. So rather than make their community safer, their policies create havoc and incite agitators, not peaceful protesters.

Notifying ICE when criminal illegal aliens are released makes, not only the community safer, it allows for ICE presence to be minimized and immigration officers to make the arrest in a safe and secure facility. These policies by democrat run cities are doing the exact opposite of what they are intended to do. Or are they? In Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Frye, Governor Tim Walz, and Attorney General Keith Ellison have all been implicated in a pay for play scheme involving the Somali welfare fraud investigation, turning a blind eye to the fraud in return for campaign contributions. This entire chaotic scene in Minneapolis could very well be intentionally orchestrated to obscure the ongoing investigation into their role in the fraud. Follow the money and you will have your answer.

The ongoing funding and organization of the anti-ICE protests has links to believe it or not, China. The New York Post published an excellent article outlining the funding sources. here. It is somewhat understandable that the true believer anarchists and paid protesters are out in force. What is not however, are the useful idiot teachers, liberal white women, and the other hangers-on that contribute to the chaos. A University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee instructor has required students to engage in 20 hours of protest. Failure to do so will result with a failing grade for that class. Since that liberal arts class does not include “protest” as a requirement in the curriculum, I believe that any student in that class would be justified in challenging their “failing” grade. Public education, particularly in universities, are rife with leftist teachers and professors. They do not instruct students to think critically; they compel students to believe and accept leftist ideology. It was a sound strategy for the leftists of the 60’s and 70’s to infiltrate academia to indoctrinate the next generations.

“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.” Friedrich Nietzsche

This nation is facing a critical moment in history. The left is engaged and growing its’ base. Christians and conservatives are sitting idly, shaking our heads at the lunacy of it all, while the disease metastasizes without proper treatment. That treatment is clear. We cannot ignore these civil disturbances that are spiraling out of control. We need to stand firm against this evil that will overcome our Republic if we do not. If we fail to wake up, it could be the death knell for this nation. This nation belongs to we the people, not to those who would destroy it. Whatever your position on immigration is, what we are witnessing on the streets is not acceptable in any society. Anarchists and America haters are teaming up to create a path to socialism. Stand aside and they will. One more article from Capital Research Center to make the point.

“What is the most sacred duty and the greatest source of our security in a Republic? An inviolable respect for the Constitution and Laws.” Alexander Hamilton.

 

 

Cause and Effect

 

Consequences of poor decisions.

Many of the Star Trek spinoffs contain discrepancies from the original series canon. Those inconsistencies are justified by crafting a multitude of futures based on the effects of decisions that create an entirely unique timeline, arising from those disparate decisions. Each individual choice creates a new chronological set of outcomes. There is no limit to the choices or futures in this sci-fi theory. In the real world, individual choices produce only one set of outcomes. Our choices have consequences. Poor choices end badly. Wise decisions are often rewarded. Confronting law enforcement while armed is a very poor decision. If you comply, you will not die.

The civil unrest in Minneapolis is driven by several factors. Anarchist groups organize with the express goal of destabilizing society. Self-proclaimed social justice warriors see themselves as pursuing a just cause. Misguided individuals that join the mob are nothing more than useful idiots. Minnesota elected officials, suspected to be complicit in the $Billions of Somali fraud, incite violence with their anti-ICE rhetoric, perhaps to deflect further scrutiny into their actions, or lack thereof. So many of these protestors are not protesting an unjust government but simply aiding and abetting corrupt politicians.

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Abraham Lincoln.

Foot soldiers like Renee Good and Alex Pretti are used by the anarchists as pawns, with the strategy to sacrifice them to further their goals and drive public opinion against the rule of law. Did they die for a just cause? Absolutely not! The United States has the right to enforce duly enacted immigration laws. State and local governments have a duty to respect and cooperate with Federal immigration officials. By refusing to cooperate and obstruct ICE, State and local officials violate 18 U.S.C. ss 1501, a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison.

“Liberty may be endangered by the abuses of liberty as well as the abuses of power.” James Madison.

The right to peacefully protest is enshrined in the 1^st Amendment. To obstruct or violently protest lawful enforcement actions is not. We are all faced with difficult decisions. Those who follow the law and endeavor to discern God’s will for us will prosper. Those who rely upon their own understanding and deny our Lord and Savior will not. The decision to rebel against worldly authority carries negative consequences to those who choose that path. If you comply, you will not die.

“Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.  Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval.” Romans 3:1-3. 

Those virtue signaling liberals, that envision themselves as saving their fellow man, are protecting illegal aliens whose only contributions to society are committing criminal acts and increasing the national debt. We are witnessing the fall of the western world as elitist liberals elect leftist democrats to office so they can stand by and fiddle while Rome burns. Any reasonable person understands that the actions of the left, if allowed to fester, will overwhelm and destroy civil society. Leftists want to destroy this nation and if they ever gain power, they most certainly will. We need look no further than the out-of-control democrat run cities.

Evil is real and is evidenced by the once proud democrat party. It is imperative that good people reject democrats whole heartedly. Democrats that embrace leftist ideology must be voted out of office before they succeed in destroying this nation. Stand idly by, and you just may wake up to a nation you no longer recognize.

“People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing.” Walter Judd.

 

 

Critical Mass

 

The left is inciting an insurrection.

The level of civil disobedience has reached an intensity necessary to set in motion a new civil war. Not the south versus the north, but this new war will pit the left versus the rule of law. Ground zero is Minneapolis where the state and local government has all but declared war on the Federal government. The rhetoric by the Minnesota democrats has poured gasoline on an already unhinged, leftist populace. There is an increase in a call to arms, to fight against the ICE “invaders” from leftist influencers to sitting democrat representatives. There will be no winners in this misguided attempt to somehow placate the leftist mob.

The left intends to overthrow the legitimate US government by causing strife and division. Capitalism will be replaced by socialism, which in turn will morph into communism, as it always does. The mob, so easily influenced by the lies propagated by the legacy media, taught in our public education system, and amplified by the democrat party, has volunteered as compliant foot soldiers, intent upon destroying the very society in which they reside and prosper. When the mob advances, logic and reason are abandoned. Individuals caught in in the mob mentality will commit acts that those individuals would likely never contemplate committing alone. Individuals are drawn along with the mob emboldened by agitators and provocateurs.

Now comes Alex Pretti, a RN that worked at the Minneapolis VA center and according to relatives, had never been in trouble with the law. They also said that he was especially upset with the immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. This man, with no criminal record, apparently incited by democrat leader’s rhetoric, decided to arm himself and confront ICE agents. Bad decision. Confronting law enforcement with a gun will not end well for you. During the altercation ICE agents shot and killed Mr. Pretti. Of course, a riot ensued. Attempting to “quell the violence,” Governor Walz and Mayor Frey accused ICE of murdering a US citizen, called up the Minnesota National Guard, and ordered ICE to leave the state. As expected, tensions only continued to rise, and some are predicting the city to burn as it did during the George Floyd riots.

Cooler heads must prevail. Unfortunately, Governor Walz stated that the ICE operation has reached an inflection point. It most certainly has, predominantly because of his and other democrat’s increasingly divisive rhetoric that has generated civil unrest. Additionally, Minnesota state and local leaders are embroiled in the Somali fraud investigation. Perhaps to distract the public from their malfeasance, they have chosen to rile up the populace. Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and the Attorney General, Keith Ellison all have been implicated in the fraud scheme and have apparently received political donations from the Somali community. All three have the very real potential of facing criminal charges.

“Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.  The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6:7-8

Do these democrat “leaders” even contemplate where their disruptive actions will lead or are they simply looking to gain power by any means necessary? Leftist ideology runs counter to a free and open society. The left is antithetical to democracy and a Constitutional Republic. The left is anti-freedom. The left will institute a tyrannical government if elected to power. Democrats have hitched their wagon to leftist ideology. The democrat party’s agenda leans far left, and most Americans reject leftist schemes. Most Americans reject socialism. Most Americans respect the rule of law. Most Americans support legal immigration and reject illegal immigration. Democrats have become a minority party, and most Americans should reject their policies. Democrats stand accused of rejecting God and standing with law breakers.

“God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger. Romans 2:6-8

In mid-term elections the party that holds the presidency usually loses seats in Congress. It is imperative that the 2028 mid-term elections buck that trend. If democrats gain the House, the Trump administration will no longer be able to properly conduct the people’s business, as democrats will obstruct, impeach, and grind any attempts to uncover waste and fraud to a halt. The United States is a country built upon Judeo-Christian beliefs. God is omnipresent in all our founding documents, yet democrats reject Him and embrace evil and disorder. Without God, this nation is doomed to failure.

“Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

 

 

Greater

 

Deceived by the worship of self-destruction.

Pride, arrogance, haughtiness are evidence of self-worship and devaluation of God. Celebrities, politicians, and other elites seem to believe that their skills are magnified and their intellects expanded. Since they are proficient in their chosen fields, they extrapolate those skills to make themselves experts in matters in which they do not possess any real-life knowledge.

“Those lowbrow, knuckle dragging Christians cannot possibly understand the nuances of transgenderism or the “monogamous, loving” homosexual lifestyle.” “Conservatives that reject wokeness and long for a return to meritocracy are nothing but a bunch of racist white supremacists.” “The unwashed masses cannot possibly comprehend the democrat’s vision of economic policy and “fair” taxation.” “Supporting legal immigration equals denying refugees.”

“When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom. Proverbs 11:2.

“By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.” Psalm 59:12

Biology affirms that two genders are necessary for procreation of all mammals. Procreation enables the perpetuation of species. Medical science has developed alternate methods to circumvent the traditional method to inseminate a human female, but both genders are still required for artificial insemination. Transgenderism, or what was once formally recognized as gender dysphoria, is a mental disorder. One cannot, no matter how much one desires it to be true, change their gender and be a fully functioning man or woman. A transgender male will never be able to father a child, and a transgender female will never be able to deliver a child. Additionally, surgically altered transgendered individuals will never be able to have normal sexual relations. Subjecting children to puberty blocking drugs or surgical alterations as “gender affirming care” should be accompanied with an arrest and revocation of medical licensing.

“Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.” Colossians 3:5-6

Love your neighbor as yourself. Forgive as you have been forgiven. Political correctness and wokeness threaten the very foundations of society. Hatred and revenge are the hallmarks of the left with their unbridled rush to level the playing field to exact retribution from those labeled as oppressors. “Democratic” socialism is their solution where equity reigns and equality dies. Tax the rich until there are no rich. When the money dries up, then what? Capitalism is far from perfect, but it does foster equal opportunity to all.

Jesus said, “As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:9-13

Unbridled spending drives inflation enables fraud on an almost unimaginable scale and creates generational reliance upon government largesse. Black Americans have been shackled with government handouts and confined to inner city slums for decades by policies championed by democrats. Estimates of fraud are as high as 20% of government spending, or over $1Trillion annually. The national debt has been driven north of $37Trillion by wasteful spending and fraud. Think about that. How can 535 congressional members conduct appropriate oversight, when half of them are likely on the take? Donald Trump and Republicans are not an existential threat to democracy; democrats most certainly are. Congressional democrats have enriched themselves at taxpayer expense. They serve themselves, not their constituency. They take advantage of their position and wield power to their own benefit.

 “Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and chasing after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the plea of the widow never comes before them.” Isaiah 1:23

We are living in an upside-down world. Our selfish human nature places us outside of God’s will. Society has prioritized the selfish desires of humankind and denied our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Reject the selfishness of the world. Without Jesus we are lost. This is why the world is spiraling out of control. This is why criminals are protected and law enforcement is vilified. This is why so many have resorted to violence. This is why families are torn apart over differing politics. There is a true solution to what ails us. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Follow Him and your world will return to ordered, instead of chaotic. Follow Him and you will learn that loving your neighbor is far more fulfilling than harboring pent-up anger and hatred. Follow Him and you will experience the joy of your salvation. Jesus can heal your heart and change the world. Follow Him!

“Jesus heals your past, is your very present help, and takes care of your future.” Joseph Prince.

All He wants is your heart. Give it to Him and you will be transformed.

“This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him. And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.” 1 John 4:9-10.

 

 

Fraudsters

 

There’s good reason that democrats are all about spending taxpayer money.

When organized criminal organizations acquire their ill begotten income, they need a method to circumvent the IRS. Many of these criminal enterprises use shadow companies to “launder” or hide their money from the authorities. Some criminals use real companies, but most are simply storefront businesses that create spreadsheets only. Noted 1930’s mobster Al Capone was incarcerated and died in Federal prison after being convicted of income tax evasion. One thing criminals always do is keep a record of their finances. That is how most criminals are eventually caught and prosecuted.

The efficiency of the democrat machine puts most criminal organizations to shame. The tangled web of fraud is deep and pervasive. The Substack site Dollar vs Peso has a great article documenting the fraud perpetrated by the democrat machine. Here. The United States government spent almost $7Trillion in 2024. That’s a 7 with 12 zeros after it. Hard to even imagine that much money. Harder still to have the proper oversight and management of those funds. But, if you’re in government long enough, one can find a way to redirect that funding to your benefit.

The now defunct USAID had a budget of $21.7Billion in 2024. Much of that funding went to non-governmental agencies (NGO) to administer. Once allocated for any matter of programs worldwide, government oversight ended. If you believe that the $50Million for condoms in Gaza were spent appropriately, I’ve got a bridge for sale that may interest you. $Millions were skimmed from these programs and redirected to the DNC from numerous USAID “programs” through various NGOs. Funding was provided to various entities that, in turn, redistributed a percentage of the funding to democrats and democrat causes. This scheme has been perfected by decades of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats that keep the gravy train rolling.

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) was the largest recipient of USAID funding, receiving $4.6Billion in 2024. They received an additional $2.9Billion in immigration related funding during the Biden administration. Over 90% of the political donations from employes of CRS went to democrat candidates and causes. Chemonics International was next with over $4.5Billion. 100% of political donations made by their employees went to democrat candidates. FHI 360 is next on the list with $3.8Billion in funding. Over 90% of their employees donated to democrat candidates. Planned Parenthood (PP) received $700Million in federal funding in 2024. PP donated over $5Million to democrat candidates and causes in 2024. George Soros’ Open Society received over $270Million from USAID since 2010. Your tax dollars go to fund soft on crime District Attorneys, is suspected of funding groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter, and other organizations that promote anarchy and disruption in democracies.

In a nutshell, democrats are dirty. Sure, some Republicans are too. Especially those who have been in office forever, but democrats are evil to the core. You can find blue dog, Kennedy democrats, but they are few and far between. In the hierarchy of democrat ambitions, serving the people is far down the list. Smurfs, straw democrat donors, used to give tens of $Millions to the DNC using their names and addresses, without their permission. Democrat funded and supplied protestors travel throughout the US to disrupt any policies deemed unsatisfactory by the democrat party. Lawsuit after lawsuit is filed by democrat operatives targeting everything from elections to congressional and executive actions to boards of education fighting wokeness. The democrats, their allies in the media, and activist judges will obstruct anything that impedes their agenda, and their agenda is counter to what we, the people want.

I was a loyal democrat until the mid-1990’s, union member, and chief steward. I voted for Jimmy Carter, twice. Yep, Bill Clinton, both times. Supported him during the Lewinsky impeachment hearings. Started listening to Rush Limbaugh on a bet for one week to prove to my conservative co-worker that I was right and he was wrong. I lost! That’s when I found out that I had closed my mind to anything that did not comport with my worldview. I had discovered the enemy, and it was me. I realized just how obtuse I had become. It was like my eyes had been opened for the first time. I began reading from conservative news and comparing it to liberal news. I became a recovering liberal who discovered just how bad democrat policies were to we, the people.

If more people took the time to really listen to all sides of an argument, I believe most would reject the policies of identity politics, wokeness, and divisiveness that embodies the democrat party. Democrats do not offer anything of value to we, the people. Democrats want to rule and not serve. Democrats are all about enriching themselves and maintaining power, that allows them to continue enriching themselves. Democrats must not remain in power in any government office or bureaucracy. We must clean house in Congress and remove partisan bureaucrats. If your representative is not aligned with your values, vote for someone who does. Let’s put God fearing, moral, and ethical servant leaders in Congress that serve we, the people, not themselves.

 

Third World

 

Do what you do best?

When one escapes from a third world country, one can suffer culture shock and find it difficult to adjust. When one is accustomed to lawlessness, it can be difficult to adapt to a society guided by the rule of law. When one has lived without freedom, reacting to almost unlimited freedom can be challenging. When graft, corruption, and fraud is part and parcel of your life, assimilating into a society that values truth, justice, and hospitality can shake one to his core, unless, of course, you can utilize those skills to your advantage. Especially if your religion frowns upon the very principles that hold western society together and grants license to cheat, lie, and steal when dealing with unbelievers.

Far too many Muslims practice a perverted form of Islam, known as Islamism. Islamism exhorts its followers on a path of radical militancy. Islamism admonishes Muslims to forcibly “convert” non-believers and permits violence if they refuse. US foreign policy that attempted to impose western democracy on theocratic Middle Eastern Islamic societies failed miserably. Democracy is antithetical to Islam. In Islam theocracies religious leaders control government, institute religious law, and lead their armies. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of association that we take for granted are prohibited.

It is no surprise when Muslims refuse to assimilate into a culture that offers freedoms that are foreign and conflict with the tenets of the religion they practice. In other words, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink, especially if their Imam preaches that they should refuse to do so. This parallels liberals that flee democrat, poorly governed cities and states that enact policies that are detrimental to them. While they seek refuge in Republican, well governed states, they often continue to foolishly vote for democrats in their new homes.

Somali Muslims in Minnesota and other states stand accused of running fraud schemes that could result in tens of $Billions of taxpayer funds lost. Quran 3:54 - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." “The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which means 'cunning,' 'guile' and 'deceit'. If Allah is supremely deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same.” From Thereligionofpeace.com. Islam permits or encourages followers to engage in deception as a means to defeat the enemy, or non-believers. Islam is simply a false religion. There is no other way to justify a religion that promotes that type of behavior toward your fellow man.

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6. Christians are called to bring the lost to Christ in the Great Commission. Lying, cheating, and stealing is prohibited. Violence is abhorrent to our God and Creator. God is a God of love, not hate. Because of the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we want others to come to Christ in order to receive the joy of salvation that we are so grateful for. We do not hate or disparage non-believers; we are especially called to not to judge those who are lost. There is no call to punish unbelievers on this side of eternity. God wants every single one of His children to come to Him of their own volition. But those who choose to reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will have no place in His kingdom. It is the choice of the individual to believe or not.

Has the will of God been perverted by His church? Absolutely! It continues to this day. But the tenets of faith, as attested in the Bible, are clear, convincing, and most importantly, true. God’s will is perfect. Man’s religion is not. Obedience brings us closer to Him. Islam requires obedience and imposes earthly consequences on those who fail to obey. God sent His only Son to take upon all our sins, suffer the fate that we deserved, and rose from the dead, ensuring all believers a path to salvation. Salvation is gained by faith alone. God’s word is Scripture alone.

Every day democrats raise the alarm that Christianity and conservative values are an existential threat to our democracy! The true threat to democracy is tacitly supporting the institution of Muslim authority. DNI Tulsi Gabbard recently decried the growing influence of Islam in several cities, including in Paterson, New Jersey. This prompted Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) to accuse Gabbard of Islamophobia and to defend the Muslim residents of that city. Too bad he could not get so fired up over the antisemitic and anti-Christian rhetoric emanating from he and his party. Paterson has seen a large uptick in crimes against persons. Paterson, NJ has crime rates higher than 93.4% of other cities in the US. Their Muslim mayor declared Paterson the capital of Palestine during Ramadan this year. Perhaps Senator Booker should be more concerned about confronting crime in his state.

We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves. That command carries great weight and responsibility. Islam is not another path to salvation. Islam views Jesus Christ as a prophet, not the Son of God and does not recognize His resurrection. Without Jesus, followers of Islam will not receive salvation. In our interactions, led by Christian love, we must realize that fact. As with any non-believer, we must reach out in Christian love until all have heard. Partnering with the Islamic faith should be undertaken with the realization that they are as lost as unbelievers. Plant the seeds of faith. Do not be afraid to proclaim Jesus as Lord and Savior. God wants all His children to dwell with Him through eternity. Treating Islam as another valid path to God only puts your neighbor at odds with Him.

Jesus said, “Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son, so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.” John 5:22-27

 

 

Exposed

 

How government waste and fraud enrich the democrat party.

Elon Musk and DOGE exposed massive waste and fraud in USAID. Ever wonder why the democrats screamed so loudly opposing DOGE and in turn, villainized Musk and by proxy, the most successful American electric car company, Tesla? The democrat machine has made fraud and corruption the hallmark of their success. Politicians have enriched themselves, financially and gained power and status through their positions in government. Each and every time a politician promises to make your life better, they devise ways to benefit themselves, their family, and their friends. You are merely pawns whose vote allows them to continue cheating the very people they are to represent. Politicians lie, repeatedly, but the democrats have perfected the art.

·         Taxpayer dollars funding programs from the now defunct USAID were transferred to non-governmental agencies (NGO’s) with little to no oversight once those funds were distributed. In turn, those NGO’s donated money to the democrat National Committee (DNC) and democrat candidates, with which they can enrich themselves and their families on your dime. Without their favorite money laundering entity, USAID, it is much more difficult for the democrat party to raise funds. The European Union (EU) has increased their funding to many of the corrupt NGO’s, but there certainly is a shortfall for the democrats. They will continue to maintain a flow of cash from other government assistance programs, through welfare fraud, fictitious social security recipients, and fraudulent SNAP beneficiaries.

·         Which brings us to the next democrat scam. Many of those non-existent government assistance collectors are also likely on the voter rolls of democrat run states. Do you really think there are that many democrat voters that are in-line with leftism? Hard to maintain your power if, suddenly, tens of thousands of democrat votes are eliminated. Why are ALL of the democrat run states refusing to turn over SNAP data to the federal government that would assist in rooting out fraud? The fraud in “repurposed” taxpayer funds is bad enough without democrat candidates being elected to office by non-existent voters, allowing them to keep the gravy train rolling.

·         And so how else do democrats game the system to their benefit? $Billions are allocated to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, Ukraine, to fight a proxy war against Russia. Yes, Russia invaded Ukraine, but that has not slowed the democrat machine in taking advantage of your hard-earned money. Once the funds are allocated, oversight ends. You heard that right. We have no idea where the money went once it entered Ukraine’s accounts. Ukraine, (perhaps at the behest of democrat leadership?) “invests” funds into FTX, a crypto-currency fund run by Sam Bankman-Fried, currently in federal prison on a fraud conviction. In the scheme, FTX “donates” $Millions to the DNC, democrat causes, and candidates. Congress continues to allocate funds to Ukraine. Quite the vicious circle. Now do you understand why the democrats continue to call to continue funding this never-ending foreign war?

Corruption is ingrained into the system that is the swamp of Washington DC. Career politicians, on both sides of the aisle, have concocted a fine-tuned operation, where elected officials thrive. Follow the money trail. Elected “representatives” have increased their net worth, often by $Millions, or in the case of investment “savant” Nancy Pelosi, by hundreds of $Millions. These corrupt politicians do not warrant the trust we imbue our representatives. It is our responsibility as citizens to be an informed electorate. If your representative is acquiring wealth when he/she should be sacrificing for this nation, it is time that they no longer “serve.” If your representative does not reflect your, or your community’s values, it is time for them to return to the private sector. If your representative believes that they rule, rather than serve, it is time to vote them out of office.

“We will vote for the country we want; we will vote for the future we want; we will vote for the politics we want; and we will vote to put this corrupt government cartel out of business and out of business immediately.”  Donald Trump

Do you understand now why “Trump Derangement Syndrome” infects every waking hour of the democrat party hivemind?

Blissfully Unaware

 

“Peaceful” Islam is exploiting our tolerance to conquer us.

Tactics used by conquerors varied with the times and situation at hand. Overwhelming force could be used to destroy an enemy's will to fight. A siege would cause kingdoms to exhaust resources until they had no choice but to surrender. Spies were employed to infiltrate the enemy’s populace to collect intelligence or cause havoc. Radical extremists of the 60’s abandoned their strategy of committing violence to affect change in society by pivoting to infiltrating academia, politics, and the media. Democratic socialists appeal to those on the lower rungs of society with promises to take from the rich and give to them, with the goal of replacing our Constitutional Republic with socialism.

Many Muslims refuse to integrate and assimilate into western society. They form enclaves where it is not necessary to change their customs. The Muslim community in Dearborn, Michigan and Somali Muslims in Minneapolis, Minnesota are prime examples. The Somali community has conspired to commit welfare fraud on an extreme level, bilking taxpayers $Millions that are remitted back to Somalia and used to fund terrorist organizations. In Dearborn, Muslims hold a majority on the city council and are imposing their will upon the city. The lack of respect shown to non-Muslim residents is stunning. See this video. Dearborn City Council. Islamism is incompatible with western society, and “so-called” moderate Muslims are becoming increasingly rare.

Radical Islam, or Islamism, is a clear and present threat to western society. Not only are radical Islam purveyors, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, responsible for atrocities worldwide, they despise western society. By enlisting a plan to conquer the west from within and by exploiting our freedoms, they plot to embed themselves into political power. With that power, they will control the authority to enable them to destroy the very nation that welcomed them. On November 19^th, 2025, the Institute for the study of Global Antisemitism and Policy published a report on Muslim Brotherhood’s Strategic Entryism into North America. This report highlights radical Islam’s strategy to conquer the west without the necessity of an armed war.

It is time that any Muslim espousing radical Islam that is not naturalized, be deported. Any visas should be revoked, and deportation proceedings should begin. When Muslims use the freedoms that this nation affords to conspire to overthrow our nation, they are not welcome here. This is not some form of Islamophobia; it is simply the truth. Those visitors to the United States who despise the freedom that all Americans enjoy, should be deported. While western society is far from perfect, instituting Sharia law, which is the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal, should be fought against, by every American that values our way of life.

Women are subjugated and treated as property in many Islamic countries. Homosexuality is punishable by death. Violations of any number of Islamic laws necessitate unjust punishments, often carried out without any due process. We should never want to return to a darker time that radical Islam promotes. Boku Haram, a radical Islamic group from Africa is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Christians on that continent and continue with their genocide in Nigeria. To them, jihad against Christianity and any religion other than Islam, is fair game to kill and destroy. Islam, as it is preached today, is corrupted by radical clerics that promote intolerance and hate. Is this what the tolerant in our society strive for and support?

Counterfeit Grievance

 The left tries to normalize violence.

Just as aberrant sexual behavior has been normalized with the assistance of the left, they attempt to validate the use of “righteous” violence to advance perceived grievances.

Why do You make me see iniquity? Why do You tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me. Strife is ongoing, and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted. Habakkuk 1:3-4

It never ceases to amaze me that Scripture, even the Old Testament, is so very pertinent to today. What is happening today has happened before. The evil one and his minions continue to use the same tired playbook. Perhaps, now the people will not continue to fall for those same tricks. Democrats are the perverters of justice. Their playbook fosters division, embraces lies, and denies common sense. Their accusations, although amplified by a compliant media, are a steady stream of falsehoods and delusions.

The organized attacks on Tesla dealerships, charging stations, and owner is not just mind numbingly wrong-headed, it is terribly misguided. Leftist true believers and paid thugs carry out the marching orders of the democrat elite. “Let the pawns expose themselves to danger,” while the leftist democrat leaders use their minions to preplan and carry out their misdeeds that endanger our nation’s rule of law. For democrats, the rule of law is to be bent, folded, and mutilated to their advantage. You see, the ends justify the means.

During the riots of the summer of 2020, our Department of Justice simply engaged in catch and release. During and after the events of January 6^th, 2021, the Department of Justice left no stone unturned to bring anyone at the Capital to “justice.”

“What my enemies say can never be trusted; they only want to destroy. Their words are flattering and smooth, but full of deadly deceit.” Psalms 5:9

Under the guise of protecting democracy, $Billions of property damage, numerous lives lost, and hundreds injured, leftist rioters were granted leniency in 2020, while even peaceful trespassers on January 6^th were prosecuted well beyond the scope of their transgressions. Yes, democrats lied to the American people about the “insurrection” on January 6^th while they minimized the “mostly peaceful” riots after George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis Police. Antifa and Black Lives Matter thugs we let off with municipal citations, when they committed felonies, while grandmothers strolling through open doors at the Capital were given four-year sentences.

“So justice is turned away, and righteousness stands at a distance. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter. Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil becomes prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.” Isaiah 59:14-15

Ken Martin, the Democrat National Committee Chair is instituting a “people’s cabinet” to actively undermine a duly elected President and his administration. Tim Walz, the 2024 democrat Vice-Presidential candidate had earlier called for a “shadow government” to derail and counter any policy initiatives proposed by President Trump. In this case the democrats are not propagating lies, they do admit to conspiring to commit treason against the sitting President, elected by a majority of Americans. The utter contempt that democrats have for the people is staggering. They utterly fail to govern by refusing to even try.

Yet, the democrat party’s biggest failure is their inability to discern right from wrong. To them, violence is a way to regain power. To them, continuing to support waste, fraud, and inefficiency in government maintains the money flow to their party. To them, their party is everything. To them, the people are merely pawns to help them get what they want.

“Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If you're smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is. That's why I'm a Democrat. I can make the Democratic voters think whatever I want them to.” James Carville, democrat strategist.

Democrats think Americans are stupid. Democrats only obey the law when it serves their self-interests. Democrats have chosen their side, and it is not on the side of freedom. Democrats, simply put, are in league with Satan because they believe that better serves their purpose than moderating their positions in order to serve God.

“Those who corrupt the public mind are just as evil as those who steal from the public purse.” Adlai E. Stevenson.

The democrat party commits both offenses with their rhetoric and their malfeasance. They must be exposed for what they truly are and face the appropriate consequences. With DOGE following the money, hopefully that will happen sooner than later.

 

 

 

Spoiled Rotten

 

Entitled petulance reigns supreme.

Government largesse has risen well beyond anything that could possibly have haunted the founders in their worst nightmares. Government no longer provides just services that are mandated, taxpayer dollars are spent as if there is an infinite supply of funds for all manner of, not only unnecessary services, but those that government has no business providing. When this great nation was founded, power to the federal government was intentionally limited. The majority of the power was delegated to the States. The US Constitution tasked the federal government to provide for a national defense, finance the government, transact with foreign nations, regulate commerce, and any matters that impacts all states.

Today, the federal government employs over 2 million people, operates 15 departments and over 400 agencies. Since Congress has been unable to pass a budget, Congress has used a continuing resolution to fund the government. The federal government spent in excess of $6.8 Trillion in 2024 and has spent over $3 Trillion so far in fiscal year 2025. The national debt is approaching $36 Trillion. Interest payments on the debt are approaching $1 Trillion annually. Currently, the federal government spends more than $1 Trillion over their receipt of taxes and fees collected. Every year overspending leads to increasing the national debt. The federal government borrows over $1.5 Trillion per year. This is absolutely not sustainable.

Without reduced spending, the US will become a debtor’s nation, beholding to those who hold our debt. Or worse yet, our currency will no longer be amenable as an investment, and we will no longer be able to secure those loans. If the US dollar loses value on the world stage, other countries will no longer trade in the dollar, setting the stage for hyper-inflation. Without reduced spending, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid will become insolvent. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was instituted to root out fraud, waste, and create efficiencies in the federal government. It has paid dividends in identifying wasteful programs to the tune of over $100 Billion in its’ first month of existence. Yet, democrats cry bloody murder over the possibility of downsizing and creating a more efficient government. Democrats sue and radical judges enjoin the executive branch. George Soros funds leftist protests that vilify the process of identifying fraud and those exposing a government run amok. How could forcing government to be accountable to the people be problematic?

President Trump has already declared Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as off limits to any cuts in benefits. Any cuts made will to be to end the fraud and waste that is discovered, and it is estimated that Medicare fraud is in excess of $100 Billion annually, Social Security over $700 Billion, and Medicaid over $100 Billion. There is almost $1 Trillion that is depleting those entitlements every year, bringing those programs ever closer to bankruptcy. Yet, democrats cry in unison that Trump is going to eliminate those benefits and the legacy media amplifies their false complaints. Democrats are bitter clingers to their bloated, wasteful government and the benefits they derive from fraudulent spending. Do the math. How can so many of our elected representatives, from both parties, inflate their net worth by 10’s of Millions while earning an annual salary of under $200,000? The question is, where is that money coming from? Is it just from “shrewd” stock trading, or something more nefarious?

“A merchant loves to defraud with dishonest scales in his hands. And Ephraim boasts: “How rich I have become! I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors, they can find in me no iniquity that is sinful.” Hosea 12:7-8

Legacy programs that many depend upon for retirement and medical benefits is in danger of failing. Waste and fraud are sucking the very lifeblood from those programs. Without eliminating the bloat, inefficiency, waste, and fraud, what will those who depend upon those programs do when the benefits end? Democrats should be cheering Elon and DOGE so that their constituents can enjoy their retirement without fear of losing their homes, feeding themselves, and having the wherewithal to receive necessary medical treatment. Before Trump was President, many of the democrat leaders bemoaned the waste and fraud and called for reform. The reason for the change of heart is apparent. Obstructing Trump is more important than saving Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. They are hellbent to destroy Trump even if it means destroying this nation.

“Then you will discern righteousness and justice and equity—every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will delight your soul. Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you, to deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perversity, from those who leave the straight paths to walk in the ways of darkness, from those who enjoy doing evil and rejoice in the twistedness of evil, whose paths are crooked and whose ways are devious.” Proverbs 2:9-15

Yet there are those that say Scripture does not pertain to current times.

 

 

If at First You don’t Succeed

 

Lie, lie again!

As the democrat party fades into irrelevancy, they have launched a strategy to use outright lies to undermine the Trump administration. There is no nuance to their actions since they have nothing valid to offer this nation, other than bitter hatred of Trump. The democrat party was rejected in the 2024 election, yet they continue to embrace insane leftist ideology. Democrats have lost their way. They stubbornly cling to all things woke, even though this often places them at odds with 70-80% of the population. Not only is the democrat party failing to adjust their strategy to align with common sense societal values, they refuse to acknowledge the error of their ways.

Democrats on transgenderism – They remain steadfast in their belief that little Johnny can become little Janet and that if the child chooses to alter their gender, parents need not be consulted. It is ideology over reality. They approve of chosen gender pronouns, gender reassignment surgeries, and life altering puberty blocking drugs for minors. Anyone else that is gender confused can obtain medical treatments at government expense, including those imprisoned. Male inmates can elect to be housed with females if they claim that they are women. There are no unforeseen consequences to those actions that could occur?

Democrats on LGTBQI+ - Woke school boards allow pornographic homosexual novels to be placed in elementary school libraries. The very same books, when read aloud by parents at a school board meeting are shut down due to their graphic nature. Pride flags flown proudly at democrat state capitols take the place of state and POW flags. Pride parades that are no more than an excuse for homosexual exhibitionism are celebrated. Pride month? Where do their priorities lie?

Democrats on fraud, waste, and bloated bureaucracy – It would seem that making government more efficient and accountable would be an issue that transcends politics, but democrats are fighting DOGE tooth and nail. They are beholden to the public sector unions that funnel $Millions to the DNC. Unfortunately, some elected officials may find themselves in hot water once Elon and his compatriots follow the money trail from these bloated agencies. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are facing insolvency in the next decade. If we cannot trim down the federal budget, those entitlements could be severely reduced. Interest payments on the national debt is approaching $1Trillon annually. Democrats continue to accuse Trump of trying to gut those programs, when their obstructionism will adversely affect the solvency of those programs.

Democrats on “saving our democracy” – over 100 lawsuits have been filed to obstruct legitimate executive actions by cherry picking radical leftist judges, most that have no jurisdiction on the matter, then have the audacity to issue orders to the President. Imagine that, a US District Court Judge issuing rulings that restrict the executive branch from carrying out Constitutionally protected duties and executive orders. Next federal laws, upheld as constitutional will be struck down by any radical leftist judge and the democrats will approve.

Democrats as the “loyal opposition” party – Resist, obstruct, derail, lie, and whatever else is necessary to destroy not only the Trump administration, but the majority of this nation that elected him. Not only has their rhetoric influenced radicals within the US, it has emboldened other nations to act brazenly against the US. Our nation’s world standing has suffered as democrats continually rebuke every White House statement or action.

Democrats on tariffs – Other nations have accumulated massive trade surpluses with the US due to their imposing tariffs on US goods. Canada has amassed over $60 Billion, Mexico over $150 Billion annually. Democrats lambast President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs as “inflationary” when the reciprocity will simply level the playing field and likely lower other countries tariffs on the US. Democrats are wrong again and their resistance will ultimately harm the US consumer.

The list could go on, but democrats have made the choice to be on the wrong side of history, yet they resist changing direction. Unless they return to a semblance of normalcy and begin to prioritize serving the people again, rather than being the obstructionists that they now are, they will fade into oblivion. And it will be well deserved.

A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth, winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers. With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord. Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered beyond recovery. Proverbs 6:12-15.

Sound a bit like today’s democrat party? Well, if the shoe fits, wear it!

On the road back to sanity.

The first month of the second Trump Presidency has been a whirlwind return to common sense and the restoration of traditional values. For four long years the Biden administration intentionally incorporated woke insanity into the fabric of society. Now it is finally being unraveled. Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is leading the charge to re-normalize accepted “pronouns” instead of overemphasizing they/them. He is delivering on his promises, with a mandate from the majority that voiced their displeasure with the Biden/Harris administration on November 6^th. Our forebears entered into a covenant with God to instill Judeo/Christian values into this newly formed nation. Rejecting the evil that is paramount to the woke culture and reinstituting that which God approves, is long overdue.

The rollback of woke ideology is occurring at break-neck speed, and the people approve. Unfortunately, the woke leftists that apparently dominate the democrat party are doubling down on the absurdity of it all. Maine Governor Janet Mills preens to her woke audience, defies President Trump at a White House meeting of Governors, while threatening to see the President in court over her stated disregard of his executive order upholding Title IX and protecting women’s rights. Polls indicate that this is an 80/20 issue with a vast majority of people agreeing that biological boys should not compete against girls and that biological boys should be barred from using women’s locker rooms and bathrooms. Yet, the democrats persist in supporting the insanity that is the transgender agenda.

President Clinton and Obama, both democrats, tried to rein in the outlandish spending of our federal government by streamlining the bureaucracy. Clinton eliminated over 300,000 Federal workers and balanced the budget. Obama eliminated over 39,000. There was no hair on fire, assertions of threats to democracy, claims of benefits being denied, or accusations of violations of the rights of Federal workers. There really is no bias in the media, is there? By their actions, democrats support government waste, fraud, and abuse while they decry the Trump administration’s attempt to create a more efficient government that uses your tax dollars appropriately. Not what I would call a winning issue if they ever hope to regain power.

It has become all too apparent that democrats prefer to defend federal employees that deliberately undermine the current administration, and by doing so, oppose the will of the electorate they are charged to serve. Fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer’s money is a personal affront to all citizens of this great nation. Those enriching themselves, their families, and friends should be prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law. The love of money is the root of all evil and those that fall prey to that proclivity will be identified, investigated, indicted, thrown out of office, and learn what life behind bars is all about.

Interest payments on our national debt exceed the annual budget of our national defense. Trillions of dollars are spent without justification or records to where the monies went. Taxes continue to pay for a bloated bureaucracy that continues to grow and siphon the nation’s money that would be spent to positively grow the economy, create wealth, and jobs. This must end. Government must only provide the necessities, efficiently and cost effectively. That is not the case as our government has run amok, ruling rather than serving the people. Those who steal from the people are simply criminals, enriching themselves at other’s expense.

Ronald Reagan famously said, “In this present situation, government is not the solution; government is the problem.” In the forty years since he said this, government is not only the problem, but it also hinders the very structure of this nation. It has metastasized like a cancer leaving surgery as the only option. Government must be cut down to size and begin to function as the founders intended. If the democrats refuse to conform and serve the people, they will be left behind as an insignificant minority that they truly have become. Get on the train or it will pass you by. The people are watching and waiting for a return to sanity from the “loyal opposition.” Unfortunately, I only see democrats doubling down on insane leftist ideology, making them prime candidates for the next species facing extinction, and rightfully so!

We’re Not in Kansas Anymore

 

Audits, accountability, innovation, oh my!

Democrats shed their crocodile tears as an unelected but duly appointed “Co-President” Elon Musk, and his merry band of techies audit bloated government agencies. “Elon is usurping Congressional authority.” “Elon is accessing personal data.” “Elon has allowed Mr. “Big Balls” to invade our bureaucracy.” “People will die!” Last I checked, the IRS is filled with unelected bureaucrats that are granted authority to audit any citizen’s tax returns. Unelected Federal, State, and local regulators infringe on the rights of property and business owners with impunity. Musk was granted authority by executive order and appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency. (DOGE) Musk was tasked to audit the Federal bureaucracy to identify fraud, waste, unnecessary programs and positions. DOGE, led by Musk, is doing just that. President Trump was elected with a mandate to clean up our runaway and, far too often, unaccountable Federal bureaucracy.

The hair on fire response from the democrats leaves one to postulate as to why they doth protest so vehemently. Could it be that an end to their gravy train is nigh? Democrats are filing lawsuit after lawsuit before hand-picked, activist, democrat appointed judges that intend to hamstring the Trump administration and derail the people’s agenda. Why are the democrats protecting the Deep State bureaucracy at all costs, while neglecting their responsibility to the taxpayer’s they represent? As in all corrupt endeavors one needs only to follow the money. Who has gained financially and who stands to lose their financial advantage. Career politicians, ingrained into the swamp of political favors that is Washington DC, fall prey to the temptation of lobbyists and the “under the table” benefits that they offer. Those elected from the middle-class end up with a net worth of tens of $millions on an annual salary of under $200,000. Pretty lucrative when all you need to do is cast your vote for special interests while betraying your oath to your nation and constituency.

It is not only democrats that are worried that their evil deeds will be discovered. The swamp has infected, not only both political parties, but the deep state bureaucrats, and many stand to lose their ill-begotten gains. From Nancy Pelosi’s insider trading, I mean astute stock strategies, to former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez’ conviction on bribery charges, unethical and illegal behavior is rampant among our elected representatives. Many of the unelected bureaucrats have also accumulated vast wealth, out of proportion to their salaries. Power and authority are the great aphrodisiacs that enable one to justify inappropriate behavior.

It is long past due that there is an accounting of the bloated Federal bureaucracy and those elected officials with their hands in the till. Housecleaning often entails culling the herd and discarding items that are no longer of use. So, it should be with those charged to serve the people if they have decided to serve themselves. Things need to change, and the House, Senate, and swamp need to be drained of the useless, classless, and unethical. Elon Musk and DOGE is exactly what the doctor ordered. Priorities must be maintained, but there is much too much frosting on the cake. Time to trim down to what is necessary and trim the fat. Go Elon go!
