What DOGE Is Accomplishing

March 17, 2025 Amil Imani

Elon Musk, the relentless force driving electric vehicle dominance and SpaceX into the cosmos, has redirected his insatiable appetite for disruption toward an unexpected target: the sprawling machinery of the U.S. federal government. On January 20, 2025, through an executive order signed by President Trump, Musk took charge of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a new entity … Read more

The Exploitation of Taxpayers by Federal Workers

February 19, 2025 Ryan McMaken

Workers across the country responded with anger and confusion,” the Associated Press reported last week, in response to the Trump administration’s layoffs of probationary workers. CBS News tells us “federal workers express shock, anger over mass firings,” and The New York Times writes that federal works face “sleeplessness, anger and tears.” Some workers launched lawsuits against the Trump administration. Others went on … Read more

The DOGE Raid On USAID

February 4, 2025February 4, 2025 Steve MacDonald

It will have been hard to miss the weekend coup that occurred at the offices of USAID. Trump sent Team DOGE in, who locked everyone out and then told the entire USAID staff not to come to work on Monday. “At the direction of Agency leadership, the USAID headquarters at the Ronald Reagan building in … Read more

Cleansing the Rot in Washington

June 9, 2024 Kensley Vitoria

Appalachian folk musician Oliver Anthony hit the charts with the fire track “Rich Men North of Richmond” in 2021. To many Americans suffering under the tyrannical yoke of the authoritarian communist Biden junta, the song struck a nerve.

The GOP-Swamp Cares ONLY About Destroying Trump

August 23, 2023 Ed Mosca

Here is what should be obvious … painfully obvious … by this point. The GOP-swamp, the GOP-elites, the GOP-establishment … whatever you want to call them … have much, much more in common with the Biden-regime than they have in common with GOP voters. Stated slightly differently, the GOP swamp-creatures … Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, … Read more

Bumbling Joe Is At It Again

August 19, 2023 Steve Earle

Someone, please tell me it isn’t so! Reports say that Joe Biden wants to send 3,000 reservists over to Eastern Europe. Now, I’m not too opposed to sending some money and relief supplies over, even some weapons, to help Ukraine defend itself from Putin’s invasion – but our troops?

He Didn’t Drain the Swamp!!!

August 13, 2023 Ed Mosca

There are many legitimate criticisms of Trump. (My sincerest (not in the least) apologies to the certain (not all) Trump-supporters who believe that the man actually can walk on water, BUT Trump, just like everyone else is human, which means he has flaws and weaknesses and makes mistakes.) But “he didn’t drain The Swamp” is … Read more

“I Don’t Know Where Any Bodies Are Buried. But I Think I Know What Happened to Their Souls.”

August 4, 2023 Steve MacDonald

From 2007-2015 Simon Marcus was a British Conservative Party Candidate, “sometime advisor and up-and-comer.” He’s taken that experience and written a piece you should read titled “How Politics Destroys Your Soul.” He’s talking about Parliament, but it rings true in any political environment.

If Your Stated Goal Is to Fight the Swamp, Why Are So Many Swamp People Endorsing You?

September 3, 2022September 3, 2022 Skip

Maybe it’s just me but I just don’t get that reasoning or logic. Sure, getting endorsements is great and fine and all that – but not from our political enemies, who are not just Democrats but include The Ruling Class Republicans.

New Research: The mRNA Vaccines Can Make You More Susceptible to the Rona … and Other Viruses

February 14, 2022 Steve MacDonald

A new paper poses a serious problem for the Jabbernaughts. It is titled “The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV2 reprograms both adaptive and innate immune responses.” Did you get that? The Jab reprograms your immune system.

An Early Note To Aspiring 2024 GOP Presidential Candidates

December 18, 2021 Op-Ed

The list of likely GOP candidates will perhaps be the shortest than in recent memory. I don’t think I am alone in thinking only Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis will lead the ballot in 2024. That’s immaterial, though, because a list of two or two hundred needs to be told the same thing.

Is an Insurrection Act Operation Underway?

January 14, 2021January 14, 2021 Steve MacDonald

There is a lot of interest in the notion that President Trump is preparing to bring the hammer down on the legions of lawless ruling class yahoos before he leaves office. That the Insurrection Act was not just signed but that it has been put into motion.

Biden Transition … A Slide Toward Regulatory Hell

November 24, 2020

Should Joe Biden actually take control the U.S. economy is going to change direction. A Biden Administration will attempt to unleash the executive branch agencies. The agencies themselves expect Biden will be hands-off. The result will be a regulatory free for all.

The Left and its Permissive Islam Apologists are Complicit in the Crime of Mass Murder

July 14, 2020 Amil Imani

Islam is akin to violence. Violence is the core of Islam, and it has been ever since the time of Muhammad in Medina by Muhammad’s own edict and conducts. Without violence of all kinds, Islamic ideology would undergo a slow death. Violence is the lifeblood of Islam.

If Congress Wants to Investigate Something Related to Delays In “Our Response” it Can Start with Itself

April 6, 2020 Steve MacDonald

As we wade through the “world that cried wolf” dumpster fire called COVID-19, partisans on the left see it as another opportunity to smear the President. I’m sure Mr. Trump is thinking ‘Bring It.’ Because the government is to blame but not in the way Democrat’s imagine.

The Left’s Get Money Out of Politics Lie – A Primer, or Perhaps Just a Reminder.

July 9, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Hillary Clinton’s campaign spent over 730 million dollars in the 2016 presidential election. That does not include any in-kind, third party expenses, or the endless positive earned media. That’s a lot of money on Hillary’s politics. And she lost. But we’re to believe that money in politics is a problem.
