What to do? I believe “we the people” still own the government that our Founding Fathers gave us 240 years ago. We need former Presidents George Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to take part in expressing their political opinions, on the record, to correct this runaway madness. We should never abandon our political friends in the world. The European Union, Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, and NATO must all be part of our political admiration circle.

The White House is now a casino, a department store, and it's open for business 24/7. The door is always wide open for the rich and well connected throughout the world. Elon Musk is not an official political appointee, but he has free office space in the White House. Well, not really free, he donated $260 million to the Trump campaign. Now Mr. Musk even gets to use the White House grounds to display his Tesla cars, and he is also the DOGE Master.
We must not forget that Mara Lago in Florida, is also a welcome wagon for the rich influential billionaires of the world ready to wheel and deal 24/7.
Are "we the people" able to keep track of what's going on financially in all of this influence peddling and deal making? Nope. All oversight, all accountability, all transactions, are lost in the political sphere of things. We are not allowed to know. Accountability is gone. Dear reader, please be reminded that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Our oversight, the IRS, the checks and balances of a normal White House are now absent. We are forced to witness purposeful division, not political unity. Its the old juvenile strategy of divide and conquer.
All Institutions in our country are under a supervisory of DOGE, led by Elon Musk. Also, Project 2025, produced by the Heritage Foundation conceptually, now believes that the U.S. government is overregulated, overtaxed and has grown into a large bureaucracy full of waste, fraud, and abuse. And it needs to be flattened out and restarted. Oh really? How did we get here? Well, according to Project 2025 the WOKES did it! The do-gooders did it. The patriots did it. Those who believe in government that needs to have a heart did it. The wokes came up with ideas like, the government should have safety nets for some of our citizens. The wokes created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and USAID. They came up with civil rights, immigrant rights, and the concept of inspectors general for oversight of government operations in every department. All created by wokes. And now what? Well, we are told we have to do a re-do. Flatten out the system, all Institutions need to start over. Just as Elon Musk has suggested, the bureaucracies are full of “weeds”, you know, the workers who must be eliminated. And all the Institutions where the weeds are, must be disposed of or, “the weeds will come back”. Dear reader, dear voter it all seems like a crock to me! Please fact check everything I'm saying. Fact check everything! Fact check everything! Elon Musk has warned many of his billionaire friends that he doesn't want to be fact checked. My answer? Fact check every time he or the Unitary Executive Donald Trump open their mouths. I simply cannot believe that all of our federal employees should be treated like “weeds". And would you believe 80,000 veteran employees will be laid off by June?
Even the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Justice, the FBI and the Foreign Service including the CIA need revamping according to Project 2025. All departments must now answer to a Unitary Executive who has been given all power, to add or to detract. Does that sound really dumb? Yep, and it is real, not fiction!
What’s the outcome? Well, Plato said “democracies pass into despotism”. Dear reader, dear voter, that is happening at this very moment before our eyes. Our 240-year-old government is being destroyed, and destroyed on purpose. And now the replacement? Trust me, from all of my studies it will be chaos and mayhem beyond belief. And the answer to how to save our country? Is there hope? The answer can be simplified. WE THE PEOPLE must stop this damn nonsense. It is our government and it does not belong to a bunch of misguided ideologues who despise their own government and who want to replace it out of a misguided sense of their own ideas. And by getting rid of so many Institutions, won't there be a government windfall? You betcha. But dear reader, dear voter, $4.5 Trillion has already been promised in tax cuts to the billionaire class. So what we have is, get rid of the weeds, to reward the billionaire class. Fact check, fact check!
Dear reader, dear voter, 65% of the American public believes in a Christian God or believes in another religion. Remember in the New Testament, St. Peter said to “honor your government and pay your taxes”. Christ said, “render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God’s.” Now, please think carefully, there are 40,000 Christians sects in the world. Our Founding Fathers, most of whom were God driven and God fearing, wanted to set up a U.S. Constitution that was free of any religious test. In other words they weren't driven to set up a theocracy. That U.S. Constitution started in 1787 made it clear, freedom of speech and freedom of all religions has to be protected! Now Project 2025 is driven by many American Christian Nationalists who are opinionated and believe now in the destruction of our present form of government. Are they wanting to change this great political experiment that has lasted over 240 years? You betcha, and just think, only three months ago we were the envy of the entire free world. So now suddenly, we have to rid ourselves of a very successful governmental experiment of over 2 centuries. Never forget those 55 men in Philadelphia in 1787 were not looking for more power or more money. They were looking to give “the people” a good government. A government of Arts, Science, the rule of law, and not of men.
Recently in the United States, we voted on a United Nations Resolution over condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We voted "no" with China, North Korea, Russia and Israel. This is a shameful development in our political alignment. Note carefully if you would, and fact check what I'm telling you. Over 80% of Americans recently polled do not approve of Russia's or Vladimir Putin's activities. So what's going on here? One of the issues that is disturbing our way of government is President Donald Trump has “Putin Envy”, and that has driven him to act like a kitten that must rub his master on the ankle. He does not realize that if he treated Vladimir Putin the same way Ronald Reagan would have, he most likely would win the Nobel Peace Prize. Especially if Ukraine is kept safe. If that happens, Donald Trump will no doubt have a statue in Ukraine honoring him and honoring his legacy. Every American should remind our President to seek peace and victory for Ukraine. But it is plain to see that right now, President Trump is an admirer of dictators and authoritarians. And Project 2025 accepts a Unitary Executive who will crush the woke created Institutions. And they want to get rid of D. E. I. (diversity, equity and inclusion), as they perceive it all as a dumb idea to have in our Institutions. They feel the “woke stuff” must stop, and must stop immediately. The Founding Fathers and the U.S. Constitution, cannot stand in the way of crushing all American Institutions, and getting rid of the “weeds” that are employed there! Are any one of our “weeds” safe if they believe in and admire their own government? No! Project 2025 wants to crush all Institutions including and especially the "weeds".
And never forget that if you want to belong to the MAGA group, there are certain things you absolutely must accept as true. For example, was President Joe Biden properly elected as President of the United States in 2020? If you answer yes, you will not be welcomed into the club and you will not be given any authority in the MAGA group. Is there any proof, facts or evidence that Joe Biden did not win the election of 2020 properly? Well dear reader, dear voter, 62 courts cases said no, there is no evidence. Dear reader that is where the goofy MAGA Republicans have literally lost their minds, surrendering to ignorance. Never forget and please fact check this, 83% of Americans polled disagreed with President Donald Trump pardoning the 1,600 insurrectionists from the January 6th 2021 Capitol building disgrace. Now we are in a weird predicament. We are standing on a legal foundation of sand, and eighth grade ignorance. Truth is the enemy of MAGA, and truth to them is simply a woke opinion. Truth to them is something that must never be in the realm of fact checking. The new opinions of what American government is all about have to be accepted in this new group of leaders who say their propaganda is truth! And if you don't accept it, you will face retribution and be tossed out of the club. Does this sound fascist? That is exactly what it is. It is in-fact a destroyer of souls.
What to do? I believe “we the people” still own the government that our Founding Fathers gave us 240 years ago. We need former Presidents George Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to take part in expressing their political opinions, on the record, to correct this runaway madness. We should not ever abandon our political friends in the world. The European Union, Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, and NATO must all be part of our political admiration circle.
I will be 88 years old in two weeks. I love my country. I really do believe in Patrick Henry saying “give me liberty or give me death”. I really do believe in Nathan Hale’s last words on the scaffold when the British were about to hang him in the War of Independence when he said, “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country”. I really do believe in the Gettysburg address. I really do believe the United States saved the world for freedom in WWII. I am a veteran with two older brothers buried in Arlington National Cemetery. They both saw way too much combat. At this very moment we will be dumping over 80,000 veterans as the Veterans Administration is closed down to a large degree. This will all happen by June according to Project 2025 folks. Is this nuts? You're damn right it is. They are not “suckers and losers” or “weeds”. President Donald Trump disrespects our military, ridicules military generals, reduces their rank and takes down their photos in the Pentagon. I remind you that Trump is a proven draft dodger who never wore the uniform.
So before God and all of the Saints and all the angels, let us pray for guidance on how to rid ourselves of this political mess we are forced to witness. “We the people” must get ourselves out of this possible slide into oblivion. We are a country of laws, not of men. We are a country of honor and decency, not of money grubbing by misfits who can never get enough. Let us be courageous and pull out of this political mayhem and reestablish honor to our flag and our country.
Let us pray for each other via a just and loving God and try to shore up peace for our children and grandchildren to keep them safe from chaos and mayhem. Dear reader, dear voter let us be faithful to our God and our Founding Fathers. All Americans of character, religion or no religion, must stand up for their oath and pledge to their flag and our U.S. Constitution. You will not regret it!
Dear reader, dear voter, lets all think of our children and grandchildren.
