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.
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.

Successful natural predators attack their prey with speed, stealth and cunning looking for a meal, that’s all.
Eliminate USAID and you eliminate a worldwide, totalitarian government run out of DC by the Democrat Party. Hoo boy.
If federal agencies were held to the same standards as U.S. corporations, heads would be rolling by now. And if they were subjected to the same legal contortions that New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg used to indict and convict President Donald Trump, some government employees would already be behind bars. This is especially …
Giving taxpayers a $5,000 cut of that trillion dollars in savings would go a long way in assuring the public that this is a fight worth waging—that the outcome does affect us—and that we can win it.
For many Federal agencies and many in the Federal workforce, the arrogant attitude is that we work for them at their pleasure. It is time for large swaths of the Federal government to be defunded and abolished.
It’s time for DOGE’s next big project—fixing the tangled, messy, and possibly illegal funding streams running through Michigan’s Army and Air National Guard.
As one might expect, the media is publishing and televising sob sister stories about federal workers departing the government voluntarily and involuntarily.
Elon Musk and his tiny, intrepid Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team are ripping through DC like a small herd of bulls through a cheap Chinese tchotchke shop. It is magnificent to watch.
Though a number who work at USAID have good intentions and do good work, the agency has become corrupt, partisan, and ideological particularly the end of the Cold War.

Thanks to DOGE, I learned the media’s coverage of Trump’s two presidencies was not based on talking points but on marching orders from the deep state.
During my career as a foreign correspondent, I spent a lot of time in what could only be called roach hotels. Time and again, I would turn on the room or bathroom lights and watch as scores of cockroaches skittered into cracks and drains.
Our nation was once SO much better governed than it is now. In this regard, our errors have been to time and again hand over more and more of our freedom to ever-expanding governments at all levels.
The ever-lovely Miss Alma, from Tupelo Brake has some pithy words for President Trump, Elon Musk and their war on waste.
They call Donald Trump’s actions in his first three weeks back in the Oval Office shock and awe, but I call it shock and bwa-ha-ha.
Trump dumped DEI and racist preferences in employment into the federal dumpster of history. The reaction from the left was what you should expect.
The truth is, if STARBASE had any real educational value beyond its DoD connections, private industry or the Department of Education could have funded it.
