  • God Blessed America Again

    What we saw and heard when President Trump delivered his address to Congress on March 4, it was inspiring and uplifting after years of overreach of government and a corrupt criminal assault on America. This was not only a speech on what has been accomplished in 42 days, this was a message to our adversaries that America is back and going to use all of its resources to take back its place as the most powerful nation in the world.
    The Democrats are not going to have anything to do with repairing the mess that they left behind. It was made very obvious that they are against everything. The Democrats either need to get on the train or get left at the station.
    Americans have not been this energized and excited about the future since President Kennedy, and it looks like President Trump has turned the American spirit loose. He is going to reduce taxes and regulations and this will put the free market back in forward motion. Once you get the government out of the way, the whole society changes for the better… Prosperity is not just about money, it is about having a moral standard, a way of living and thinking.
    What is happening is if the American people will grab the opportunity that is giving them a chance to start restoring America and make it great again. Don’t expect President Trump to make you successful. In the words of President Kennedy, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.”
    All that to say is now the citizens have to be diligent and keep the government in check so it does not once again become the arm of socialism grabbing up your freedom and liberties and pass oppressive, unconstitutional legislation.
    The aggressive move that was accelerated by the last two administrations and Congress to make America a socialist nation has been stopped. I think this is the first time a country has thrown off the stranglehold of socialism without firing a shot.
    How did it happen that the ones who wanted to remake America got in control and put an end to a government by the people?
    This is what happens when people do not do their duty and take care of what God has given them. Our founders were fleeing an oppressive Monarchy and praying for a land where they could be free to follow their religion and have the freedom to speak and live their lives, making their own future.
    We are very fortunate that the people woke up and prayed and voted for the only one at this time that was blessed with the ability to start correcting a lot of what was wrong that violated the moral compass of a free society.
    It is the duty of every free-loving American to support and be informed and be active in holding the elected servant’s feet to the fire.
    What happens to our freedom and liberty will ultimately be up to the American citizens.
    Learning what citizens’ rights and responsibilities are to keep the functioning of government under the authority of the people is the way to make the Republic of America the very best. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “it is a Republic, if you can keep it.”

  • America Renewed

    The Grace Commission, officially known as the President’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, was established by President Ronald Reagan in 1982 to identify waste and inefficiency in the federal government. It produced a report with nearly 2,500 recommendations aimed at saving billions of dollars, but many of its suggestions were not implemented by Congress. President Reagan tried to show Congress how much waste there was, but too many were benefiting from the existing programs. That was 43 years ago. Now the times are changing. The problem today with a lot of people in government is that they have never seen the Government work as it is supposed to and don’t understand that there is a rule of law and responsibility that goes along with the job. For years, they thought that once they were elected, they could do no wrong. All they had to do was play politics, negotiate with whoever could help them throw a few dollars back to their home district, make sure the special interest got what they wanted, and work on making sure they could get set up for the next election cycle to keep their job. This new idea of holding elected servants accountable has become quite upsetting for some of the ones in Congress trying to figure out how to pay back their major donors with what they want and still be able to play by the rules. Just look at the short time Trump has been in and how much he and his new cabinet, along with DOGE, have done, showing the most bought off Congress and bureaucratic agencies in the history of the U.S…
    The idea of a smaller, more efficient government has Washington D.C. in a panic, and they are fighting back with everything they have, putting out false facts, distortion,
    misrepresentation, and irrational behavior. They are seeing their hard work of years pushing and marketing their socialism coming apart, and they are desperate to find a way to keep common sense and logic from becoming a normal way of government polices being implemented. What we are seeing is a revolution. The Democrats, as well as the Uniparty, which was in control of the Republican party, now the loss of power could set them back 40 years.
    Time will tell, but it appears we are living in one of the greatest times in America. The American citizens finally got fed up with the socialistic polices trampling on their freedoms and liberties. Trump’s success will depend on his continued commitment to put American interests first. The poor and the middle class have spoken. They are standing up for families and communities, and they want America back.
    If Trump and his team keep the focus on protecting America for Americans, with God’s blessing, the U.S. will enter a glorious new era of liberty and prosperity.
    I think it is going to be exciting to see how this all plays out in the next election for the U.S. House in November 2026

  • FRAUD, EMBEZZLEMENT, AND THEFT

    FRAUD, EMBEZZLEMENT, AND THEFT

    I wonder why people are not going to jail for defrauding, embezzling, and theft of what looks like trillions of U.S. taxpayer dollars.
    If a citizen defrauded the government out of even 10,000 dollars he would be apprehended, placed in jail, go to trial, and be fined and sentenced to whatever the statute of the law required.
    The bureaucrats and agencies that have stolen from the taxpayers for years, using it to enrich themselves and their accomplices, have violated the law. Everyone who participated in stealing tax dollars and applied it for their own use, special interest, pet projects or buy-offs, etc.–need to be held accountable for their actions.
    This administration has finally started throwing the covers off, showing where billions and trillions of tax dollars have gone or just disappeared. I think most American taxpayers are in shock. Not that they didn’t know that bureaucratic corruption didn’t exist but had no idea to what extent. Now we know a lot of the ones who are responsible for stealing from the government treasury through the positions that they held, it is time to start holding them accountable for their actions. Just removing them from their job is no retribution for the crimes that have been perpetrated on the American taxpayer. For years these people have gotten away with adding wealth to themselves and others by using\ tax dollars that were intended for supporting approved government projects. These people knew what they were doing. It wasn’t a mistake or an oversight it was a premeditated robbery. They should be charged and prosecuted for their criminal actions and in some cases tried for treason.
    Simply getting fired or having to testify at a congressional hearing is no punishment. Their extravagant lifestyle in most cases will not change. Without any real punishment, they will just move on doing the same thing differently. Once you know the ins and outs of how to work the government the opportunities are endless; selling information to the lobbyists, showing how to put in for subsidies and grants, and collecting millions of dollars.
    A lot of these people who committed theft in their time of being employed by the federal government live in very high-class areas in a multi-million dollar home and they did it on a $174,000 to $200,000 a year income. Their lifestyle tells the story of corruption.
    If there is not a show of tough consequences, the ones that follow and become in charge will have the opportunity to do the same, knowing that there is little that will be done when caught.
    The American taxpayer deserves to know that government positions do not give a free pass to steal from the hardworking taxpayer who has sacrificed and played by the rules to support the government. This is why, when the books are open, and show the money that was budgeted increased every year and used for whatever would benefit them the most. It’s time to pay for the crime.
    This type of activity goes on in state and local government as well where there is unfettered access to free-flowing tax dollars. In many cases, the money will be used for wants not needs.
