DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: We the People... taking out the trash

You do not become the most powerful nation in the world by smoking a peace pipe and singing kumbaya.

In my last 30 years of traveling around the world, the peace pipe was rarely discussed.

What people did suggest was the United States was the biggest bully on the block.

I considered that to be offensive. 

At the time, I was not in country to talk politics. 

I was there to talk travel, so I avoided the rest of the conversation.

The more I began digging however, the more I realized what foreigners knew long before WE THE PEOPLE.

As in the corruption that has gotten worse over the years.

Americans, they were in the dark for a long while.

Of course, that was mainly due to mainstream media chirping what they were told by “the machine.”

The faces changed, but the machine was the same.

People were literally still scratching their heads about “why would mainstream media lie” up until COVID.

COVID woke up the sleepers who finally saw through the programing and propaganda.

Research CIA “project whatever” performed on unknowing Americans if you really want to know how brilliant the machine has been over the years.

And then – there was the jab!

I’ve always said they rolled that deadly game out about 10 years too soon.

A lot of people had no choice but to get jabbed.

In some cases, it was a personal decision.

It turned out to be the experiment of a lifetime.

Even so, the experiment removed the fairy dust from the eyes of a country whose power was purposely being destroyed.

Hate Trump or not, but he is not playing by the DC rules (or the World Economic Forum rules), and those people are BIG mad.

People like (do your research) Macron, Trudeau, Zelenskyy, George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Bill Clinton, Larry Fink, Albert Borla (Pfizer), and the list goes on.

Trump made mistakes during his pre-Biden days. He’s making sure the mistakes are not made again.

The other day I heard someone say they were “liberal MAGA.”

Hate Trump and Elon Musk, but  they do not need your money.

Who does need your money? 

Those being exposed for wasteful spending, insider trading and millions of dollars in kickbacks.

And they are BIG mad too.

Big mad that DOGE is cleaning house. 

While you might not agree with the method of trash removal, do you really want your tax dollars to go to an NGO fund studying how many pencils can be flushed in a toilet before it gets clogged up? 

Or, do you want your money to go to a war that only those elected in DC benefit from?

Anyway, we have had spending issues in the US for years.

No surprise what DOGE is uncovering.

Remember: “Everyone knows that getting rid of the deficit will require some tough decisions.

“And that includes cutting back on billions of dollars in programs that a lot of people care about. 

“What should be easy is getting rid of the pointless waste and stupid spending that does not benefit anybody. 

“Waste we should be getting rid of even if we didn’t have a deficit.”

Sound like DOGE?

No, that was Obama.

I didn’t hear the outrage when HE uttered those words.

And this one: “There is no question there is an enormous amount of fraud and abuse in this government…

“We have an administration in Washington DC and the function of administration is to administer. 

“That means when there is waste and fraud you have an administration who is also on top of that situation.”

DOGE?

Nope. Bernie Sanders, in 2008.

Tell me again why when Trump and Elon Musk say it – heads explode?

Trump and his dream team are shining a light on what those who came before were merely paying lip service to.

And now there’s the horrified lip service regarding tariffs the US is imposing on other countries.

Trump said the US is spending $200-billion a year to subsidize Canada.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt added, “Canada has been ripping off the United States and hardworking Americans for decades.”

There was a 300% tariff on American cheese and butter to Canada.

Or India’s 150% tariff on American alcohol, or Japan’s tariff on rice at 700%, to name a few.

Trump’s word: “reciprocity?”

It should be every American’s word of the day.

From my research, “Not a single tariff Trump has proposed is higher than the tariff that country has had on us for the exact same product.”

And no chatter about China dropping a 100% tariff on Canada, only the big, mean United States.

Maybe we are the big mean United States.

After all, there was a 30-day Russia/Ukraine ceasefire this past weekend, that was big mean (for those who aren’t going to be getting their rumored kickbacks).

It’s time our government put America first.

Yes, foreign policy is important. 

The American people should be important too. 

So, for example, if a Columbia student does not like the politics here and is a guest on a student Visa, he can either leave or not incite violence like he owns the place.

Trump and Biden do not have the same ideology or definition of normal.

It was not normal for millions of illegals to pour across the border and given credit cards to play the game. 

It was not normal for billions of dollars to go to ridiculous, wasteful spending. 

It was not right for an entire party (Democrats) to be robbed of a primary to elect a candidate, or for a congresswoman to hire an illegal to work in her office (AOC).

It is not normal to send money to an unwinnable war primarily funneling cash back to those with their handout voting for dollars.

What is normal?

A government clean-up with the names named, including the pedophiles on Epstein and Diddy’s list.

An accounting of all the missing children and research into the insider trading our elected officials have been involved in for years.

Maybe we are the most powerful nation, but I’ve always believed it was the people – not the government – who defined that word.

The only way to live by that definition of “powerful” is to vote in a new ideology (done).

By taking out the trash (thanks, DOGE) and cleaning out the red and blue parasites who can’t seem to find the exit door.

You might not like the man, but do not compromise America by your hate.

If one of us fails, we all fail.
