Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.
It has been quite some time since I have expressed any of my rambling, rants, and revelations I thought it was high time that I did so. Especially now that the two former Democrats have been confirmed to their respective cabinet positions in DJT’s new administration. It appears that there is only one controversial cabinet pick, Kash Patel, left to be confirmed.
Speaking of President Trump and nominations I wish he and his staff well and will certainly be sending them prayers in the coming weeks months and years.
I have been gleeful, amused, and disappointed at the reactions of the deep state and their supporters the past couple of weeks since DJT took over as the President. Gleeful to see the speed, organization, and force of action that his administration has struck Washington and the entrenched elites with. I is like a breath of fresh air and amusing to watch how ill-prepared and how disorganized the Democrats and official Washington have been. Having worked and done business in the private sector where one’s livelihood is not guaranteed it is good to see the same for official Washington DC. On the same hand it is disappointing to see just how corrupted, lazy, and incompetent official Washington has become. I always knew in my gut that it was rotten but has Elon Musk has pointed out in many cases there is no apple left but rather just a ball of worms.
Quite honestly, I have been following the news much more regularly since DJT took office because events are moving much faster. One time I took a couple of days off for business reasons and when I checked back in, I was surprised how much new news there was. Therefore, I am not really sure where to start with my observations outside of what I said above, at least publicly.
I will say that I have had my misgivings about Elon Musk in the past and I will keep a sort of metaphorical distance from him. Primarily my misgivings center around him pushing for tax incentives in states that he has figuratively set up shop in. Although, I am fully aware that perhaps there should not be taxes in the first place and what bothers me is why does he get the tax breaks while I and others like me do not. Is that jealousy or is it justified? I am not sure at this point and perhaps I would just like to see these breaks apply across the board.
Now that that is out of the way I am very impressed with what DOGE is doing. Its legal standing is sound and I really am impressed with the tools that DOGE is bringing to bear upon the bloated bureaucracy. It is beautiful and I can only hope and suggest that the results be made public as much as possible. Sunshine is a great anti septic and we all know how moldy, dank and dirty swamps get because of the lack of sunlight. Please let the sunshine in and do not keep the new found knowledge secret for the gain of a few.
Lastly, I must admit that I have some anxiety because I am not sure when or how the deep state will strike back. Time will tell but I have no doubt that the deep state is not out for the count and they will not go down without a fight. The question is how and when will they regroup and mount some sort of counter offensive. There is no doubt that they are currently back on their heels and their counter responses have been mostly feeble at best. I can only hope the Trump administration will keep the pressure on and press their advantage as much as possible within the original and traditional constraints of the US Constitution which, quite honestly, allows for quite a bit of latitude. For instance, retaking executive authority over corrupt executive agencies, like USAID, etc.
God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
