DOGE and Program Review and Assessment
DOGE appears to be taking a short-term approach to change. Audits are rearward looking and point-in-time. While important, they will not systematically change the federal government.

While some still believe the military exists for national defense, history tells a different story—it’s actually America’s premier social science laboratory.

DOGE: Efficiency vs. Effectiveness

DOGE: How we Arrived at this Point
A series of critical inflection points led us to the point where we currently are with a strong central government with several corrupt and potentially criminal acts. If it was not the federal government, elements of the central government could be subject to RICO. The key inflection points center around the Progressive Era in the early 20th century and include the Wilsonian bureaucratic reforms, the 16th Amendment and the 17th Amendment to the Constitution. Real reform must address these areas. Otherwise DOGE may save some money this year, but will not fundamentally change how the government is structured or operates.

Will this take the sting out of today’s sky-high …
Trump excels at forcing Democrats into defending the most indefensible positions
Still reeling from the breakneck pace and audacity of President Donald Trump’s first two weeks in office, The New Republic’s Michael Tomasky made an intriguing comparison. “Trump 1.0,” he observed, “was a Jackson Pollock—splat splat all over the place. Trump 2.0 is painting within very precise lines. It’s terrifying.” Tomasky was right. In his first …

The Mindless War of Shame
The Biden Administration, after the stolen 2020 election, even set up an Orwellian Ministry of Truth (“paused” due to public outrage) and redirected our military and Federal Agencies from War Fighting to political correctness, gender issues, and targeting political opponents
Watch out… Nazis in Germany Postured as “Moderates”

The Democrats’ Desperate Fight to Hide Decades-long Grift and Corruption Is Collapsing
If federal agencies were held to the same standards as U.S. corporations, heads would be rolling by now.

This is especially …
