Does anyone remember the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)? More finely, does this “department” even exist anymore?
The silence ism as the saying goes, deafening.
Elon Musk – the head of this department for a few months of show – has gone quietly into that good night, along with the dangled-for-the-dupes $5,000 “rebate” check Americans were led to believe they were going to get that would be financed by all the savings DOGE would realize. Does anyone remember? It is apparently easier to forget – like rape and other iterations of abuse. People put it out of their minds because dealing with it is too traumatic.
Instead, Americans are getting $4,200 per ounce gold – which would be fine if Americans had any gold. Most do not. Instead, they are getting a slowly elaborating police state, with Trump as its jefe – decreeing the deployment of the military internally. Some of the dupes approve of this because they do not think “the troops” would ever be used against them.
Israel is now first rather than America.
Trump has said so, publicly. Probably because he was told to say so privately. Have you noticed that the whole MAGA thing went offline on the day that Trump angrily castigated that reporter for bringing up the Epstein Thing? Almost immediately thereafter, there was one thing after another – including the public execution of Charlie Kirk followed immediately by the fart-in-our-faces covering up of the thing, almost certainly executed by the same forces that put Charlie to bed forever.
Like rape, people want to forget – because it’s just too traumatic to deal with.
Back to DOGE.
The initial show was spectacular. We were treated to the spectacle of USAID leeches walking out of USAID offices, ostensibly to the unemployment line. It is true that USAID – as an agency – is effectively shut down. But foreign aid hasn’t been. Trump has so far approved $12 billion in new aid to the state of Israel. What’s happened, then, is that the largesse has been redirected. This is the operational meaning of “efficiency” in government parlance. The rubes are led to believe there will be savings – which implies their tax burden might be lightened and that just perhaps, they might even get a refund.
What they got, instead, was the usual knife in the back. It is what always comes of believing that voting will change things for the better. If that were even a possibility, voting would not be allowed. It is allowed precisely because it is a show. One designed to create and maintain the illusion that the people have a choice. It is why what is styled “democracy” is so popular – as a talking point – among the ruling cliques in every Western “democracy.” It is popular because it maintains the power of the ruling clique. People who have any remembrance of history remember that the old Soviet Union and its proxies styled themselves “democratic” – which had (and has) a better sound to it than authoritarian collectivism, which is what “democracy” is in practice.
How could it be otherwise?
“Democracy” is the political hypothesis that “the people” or its synonym, “the majority” rule via the election of so-called “representatives.” The actual theory – in the sense of what the facts support – is that a clique of revolving door rulers, often generational families, rule over “the people.” The latter are given the choice every so often to change the surnames of their rulers but never given the choice to not be ruled.
This is ingenious in its deceptive subtlety. The ruling cliques figured out that having one obvious ruler – a czar or a general secretary – was too obvious. A changing-every-so-often president was far better, from the point-of-view of those who select the latter. Note that there are “presidents” everywhere now – but less liberty for the people than ever.
Trump was probably selected because those who control this “democracy” realized the people needed a show to re-instill their faith in “democracy.” Down the escalator he came. A bedraggled and desperate people voted for him, though the outcome was preordained to be the same and even worse, as accruing evidence suggests. Not only is the $5,000 “DOGE Dividend” the people were promised proving to be like all the other promises – including the promises made to end the wars, to get to the bottom of the Epstein Business, to hold accountable the criminals who tortured us for years during the “pandemic” they manufactured – the people are going broke as their money (which isn’t gold) becomes worthless.
Most of the people can no longer afford a new vehicle; young people can’t afford a home; those who are fortunate to have one may soon be unable to afford to heat their homes or pay the rent styled “property taxes” and find themselves without a home. Never mind all that.

“The latter are given the choice every so often to change the surnames of their rulers but never given the choice to not be ruled.”
The sad fact is, most people DO want to be ruled.
Because freedom implies responsibility, and few want that these days. Having Uncle Sam as one’s sugar daddy is soo much better!
As the saying goes: People get the government they deserve.
And let’s not forget that voting for anybody by definition implies we are giving consent to be governed by others.
The outcome is what it is.
Notice where Rubio’s eyes are focused in the thumbnail for the YouTube video.
Pam Bondi. Stetson University College of Law ’90.
For a woman, that academic credential carries a certain connotation around Tampa about how the tuition was earned, especially during that time period.
Little Marco is probablly wondering.
Bubble boy is just channeling the President. It makes total sense. Blondi is as DEI as they come. At least by her job performance. At some point, sometime in the past, someone probably hired her to check off a box. Really no better than all the other worthless twat AG’s and Governessesses that plague the republic. I cant think of one that does/did a decent job. Then again same goes for the guys.
Our government is hopelessly terminal at all levels. Filled with corrupt filth and flimflammery. We should get to check a box where they are all voted out at once. A sort of no confidence in either party. Just look at Az. We have three of the incompetent sheboons. Slobb’s Mayes, and Abrogillia Gravalllllia, a chubby little nepo-baby. Does she count towards NO QUEENS!
I’ve posted on this before, but it merits repeating at every opportunity. Pam Bondi gave us “Treyvon”, crafting the charges used to prosecute George Zimmerman when the local State Attorney declined to seek an indictment.
Having grown up in Tampa and living there for half of my adult life as Bondi climbed the ladder, *I* could have done a better job with questions at the confirmation hearings.
The Republicans stopped paying attention once Matt Goetz went away, but don’t think for a second that Goetz would have been that much better in the job. Out of all the seats in the House, FL-1 is possibly the Congressional district most dependent on the Federal Government spending to keep its economy afloat, and Goetz was a legacy in that seat, his father having held the district for decades.
I did not know that about Bondi. Interesting & not surprising.
A bit player in the drama of âthe instruments of tyranny at home.â?
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/10/jacob-hornberger/another-regime-change-war-is-coming/
Bondi didn’t charge Zimmerman, Angela Corey did.
I saw similar in Nevada. Both their current DEI senators, Rosen and Maestro, (probably jews) were post turtled into power at about the time Soros began buying up LV politicos. Both won questionable elections to begin their careers, and still to this day rely heavily on unbelievable waves of magic mail in ballots to win.
It’s no wonder we are in such awful shape with regard to the current people in government. Many of them gave their souls to Soros in the late 90s, early 2000s for a taste of Gawd knows what. I remember Soros was ate up over Bush Jr. Why, I have no idea, as both held the same statist ideology. The only difference being, one preferred a stage coach, the other a rocket ship.
It’s pretty cool you got to grow up in Tampa, didn’t realize that. I used to love spending a month most summers at my grandparents place in Bradenton. It’s where I first learned to drive a stick shift. Still remember the smell of that VW Beatle. Bet you had some great times growing up there.
Aen, Norman!
Bondi’s only asset is her looks – and they’re fading fast. She’s like Noem in that respect. Trump picked both, I am certain, because he thinks they’re “hot” – and also subservient and willing to do whatever Trump demands.
Women age like milk. And if the Milk council was smart, they’d put aging Pams (the files are on my desk) face on the carton to remind customers of their products shel life.
I had a slight hope for her. Another stupid kick at the football gone wrong. Pams nothing more the female Jeff Sessions.
Here’s a couple of economic factoids about Our Greatest Ally, “Isrul” (as Lindsey Graham calls it).
According to the IMF, Israel’s GDP per capita is about $60,000. That’s higher than Germany, UK, France, New Zealand, Canada, Spain, Hong Kong and Italy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita
Why are we giving billions to a foreign country with a higher GDP per capita than developed First World nations when we are $37 trillion in debt?
To further complicate things, there are about 13 U.S. states with a per capita personal income equal to, or lower than, Israel’s:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_income
Now, personal income per capita is not exactly the same thing as GDP per capita, but it is close enough for our purposes. The point is that taxpayers in those states are subsidizing a foreign nation with an income higher than their own.
A couple of things to ponder while you figure out how you’re going to pay your own bills…
‘It is feeling a bit froggy.’ — Norman Franklin [thread farther down]
It reminds me of 2007, a year before the dam broke:
‘As we saw recently with the bankruptcies of Tricolor and First Brands, the domino effect is simple. One counterparty scrambles for liquidity, which forces them to fire-sell assets at actual bids well below [accounting] marks. That pressure spreads, forcing other players to do the same. Before long, the entire sector is spiraling.
‘For years, banks loaded their balance sheets with illiquid and risky assets. Then suddenly, one or two of these loans blow up. Rather than admitting that their underwriting standards are garbage and that they misjudged the collateral, banks hide behind fraud allegations against their counterparties. Itâs a convenient narrative â one that plays well in the media but means nothing. The jawboning and lawsuits are PR stunts, because itâs likely the borrowers are already wiped out.
‘Tricolor and First Brands may have set the spark, but whatâs happening now is the fire. Real, tangible losses are surfacing, and thereâs no stopping that process once it begins. So here we are: a massive flight from fiat, reflected in goldâs surge and likely indicating U.S. creditworthiness is in jeopardy, combined with one of the stock marketâs most fragile sectors â regional banking â finally cracking.’ — QTR’s Fringe Finance
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/sht-breakingand-its-going-get-worse
Banksters are always key actors in financial crises. They operate on ten-to-one leverage, with a rich uncle (the Federal Reserve) standing ready to ‘help’ — just as an entitled frat boy expects his rich dad to buy him a new car after he gets drunk and crashes his BMW. But this business model falls apart when the macro economy hits severe turbulence.
Poor Jerome Powell just hopes to make it to January 31 without a white-knuckle crisis occurring on his watch. Then he can write a tell-all book, slanging the Orange Nincompoop and pointing out the obvious fact that we’re doomed.
Given to the fact that Elon is such a colossal grifter, dependent on the deep state for large swaths and expansion of his fortune, still not convinced his motives were honorable. it’s no surprise his shtick failed. I will give the man props for one thing though. He did a good job shinning light of some of the darker recesses in the government we might not have ever seen.
Always knew foreign aid was shit, and been telling anyone who’d listen it should be abolished for most of my life. Even if it was a fraction of a fraction of the budget, which was the excuse used for the longest time to defend it. What Elon did, by exposing USAID, was a gift to us. He showed how basically all the information we receive is little more than DS propaganda. No one can honestly say they had any idea how deep the rot of payoffs to the mockingbird legacy media went. Basically, everyone who is on tv is a lying sack of excrement, payed hundreds of millions of $$$ to tow the two party line. Either in service of team Bolshevik, or team BB. Now it’s all known, out in the open, even if many still refuse to acknowledge it. For that, Elon is owed a thanks, although balanced against his monumental grift, he probably still owes us all a debt.
Elon clearly stated his motive up front: “DOGE is going to take us to Mars!” He was only interested in cutting spending enough to use federal largesse to pay for his biggest grift of all — the space travel boondoggle.
“Given that, the voter can only express a non-influential moral opinion; more often, he votes for the same reason that he applauds at a sports game, that is, not to change the level of noise but to entertain himself.” Unknown
What trickster con man Trump did was surround himself with men of talent and integrity – because Trump has no integrity and is a sellout whore to wealthy Jewish donors. The system we exist is a criminal racket, so to fool us, the Orange Con Man brought in Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard to restore legitimacy to the government of criminals.
Note how Trump lets them do their thing, THEN BLOCKS their heroic efforts. The cuts are made but the spending is increased anyways, the files are never released. See it for what it is, a con game to fool you into thinking Trump is somehow reforming the most corrupt system of state ever.
How many betrayals will it take before we are done with the Orange Ziocon Israeli first lunatic in chief?
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/10/edward-curtin/the-masks-have-come-off/
“If you believe what is written on those hats worn in the Israeli Knesset â âTrump the Peace Presidentâ â you are deluded beyond hope. Halloween may be coming, but you donât need a frightening mask to realize the horrors that confront us. Trump is the culmination of a long developing horror story. Unlike his predecessors who prepared the way for him and who generally wore traditionally allaying masks to hide their evil actions, he is the greatest blatant fraud to ever occupy the White House. He is a war monger, a genocidal killer, and an enemy of people home and abroad so obvious, so capricious, so erratic â a man of endless threats”
As Trump is exposed, his con game revealed, he will no longer waste his time fooling us, he will just revel in pure evil doing evil things – thus the mask comes off, the new Trump is the birth of the antichrist.
Auto Loan Delinquencies Jump 50% As Car Prices Reach New Highs
https://archive.ph/9E8Tr
Can’t afford a car on your wages competing with Chinese coolie labor, goy? You’ll have to eat cake then.
Sucks to be you, because even if your car gets repossessed you’ll have to keep paying taxes to fund the IDF…
We’re pretty screwed financially. The USG is adding $1T to the debt every 150 days right now, and that interval is shrinking. The interest on the debt has to be paid, and it’s simple math, we’re only a few years away at this growth rate from the day that interest on the debt consumes 100% of tax revenue. We’re around 25% right now. It’s unsustainable.
Why doesn’t someone do something about it? We are in the last few years where something can be done. They’re either too stupid to understand, in which case we’re doomed. If they understand, they choose to ignore the problem, which also means we’re doomed. The few good Congressmen, like Tom Massie or Rand Paul, are lost in the noise of the lunatics.
This is how eastern european economies collapsed shortly before the fall of the USSR. We’re now doing the same thing. It’s sad to see.
We are long past the time it could be reversed. The debt will be repudiated, if the bastards are smart they will do a jubilee.
I doubt theyâre that smart.
To reverse and repay the accumulated debt would take more than can be stolen in taxes. Nothing good comes from this.
We already passed the milepost of the last chance to fix the problem. People need to accept that and plan accordingly. It’s mathematical certainty that the ‘debt’ can never be repaid. They should revalue gold to 50K along with a jubilee. The bankers won’t be happy, but its that or deer rifles, bridge overpasses, and tanks in the street. Which would shut down the economy even worse.
Balance the budget right now, maybe make a tiny surplus and completely stop growing the debt. We still have inflation due to monetary policy, which will eventually eat away at the real value of the debt. It’d be a long drawn out process of dollar devaluation, but we’ve been living with that since the 1970’s, so we know how it looks, we all slowly get poorer.
There’s no “clean” way out, agreed. Any solution means our standard of living goes down, but we’re heading to a catastrophically quick change if they don’t start doing something, asap.
I’ve lived through this. It’s horrific. I don’t want this to happen in America. The one saving grace in this country is that we still have productivity, which eastern Europe didn’t, so something should rise from the ashes, but it’s hard to say what it’ll be.
I shopped earlier this week and I noticed that grocery stores/discount stores do not have the inventory that they usually had. Does it look like March 2020? No, but there are significant gaps in certain foods and quite a few unstocked shelves. If it was one store it could be explained with a missed delivery truck, but three stores and one has to wonder what is going on?
Regional banks on edge. Inter-day, overnight lending window (AKA Fedzilla’s pawnshop) crowded past capacity, lines out the door, unable to process all the dodgy paper being presented as collateral. Globalism is about to receive another kick in the nutz.
Hi Norman,
I just sold all the stock that hubby and I had in the Stock Market (with the exception of iShares Silver). All play money, but I am taking my 42% profit and hightailing it out. I don’t like the charts that I am reading and the way this economy is feeling.
It is feeling a bit froggy. Congrats on the nice gain. What to do with it is the big question. Wish I had more kids to give to. Would love to find a small non-labor intensive business to get into. The only things I can think of are all illegal.
Everywhere you look the strip malls are full of Vape shops, tattoo parlors, Laundromats, payday and title loans, hair salons, massage parlors, and La Carnicerias
Hi Norman,
Right now I have extra funds sitting in money markets or CDs. Eventually, most of it will go to a plot of land and hubby’s new warehouse, Sheetmetal equipment, etc. but we are waiting for the costs to come down. Everything is too expensive and I am not paying today’s prices.
The only exception is used cars/trucks are starting to come down quite a bit (10 years and older, not newer models). I think it is only a matter of time (about 6-24 months) that deals will be plentiful if you have the cash ready. Right now I would sit back and see the best rate you can get on a CD. After prices fall it will be land and cheap stocks.
Dry powder. sounds like the only solid plan, RG. A correction of +30% and I’m an incremental buyer of Energy and resource stocks, PMs, or real estate. Not sure how that happens though. Current and past regimes our whole lives have always been about papering over the pain. Cant have a real market driven correction as to many donor class toes get stepped on
I’m more and more convinced that Ludwig Von Mises might have been on to something. Purchasing power falling, check, hyperbolic credit expansion, check, flight into tangible goods, check, lack of faith in policymakers and currency, check. None of which seems sustainable but we shall see.
Hi Norman,
The playbook is the same. Trump and Powell will be the new Bush and Bernanke. I expect the best deals will be 18-24 months after the drop begins. They save the large corporations and starve the citizens.
Get physical silver instead of SLV if you plan to hold for the long term.
SLV and GLD used to be a paperwork nightmare at tax time. The last time I played GLD, the paperwork was better, but the monthly fee is still a pain.
The downside of cashing out of stocks is the capital gains taxes. I’ve had a long term project to unwind certain Vanguard funds due to the management’s activism since Bogle passed, but that process has to be done carefully.
I yanked all of my money in Vanguard’s term bond fund this year when the Cracker Barrel fiasco hit and the realization sank in where the CEO could have borrowed the $700 million for the remodel
Hi Roscoe,
We have both. The physical silver we bought around $18 ounce about 7/8 years ago for fun. Didnât think it would do much since silver hovered around that price for so many years.
Iâm noticing this too, actually for the last few months especially in dairy and produce.
Hi RS,
Produce seems to be hit the hardest. Only natural foods seem to be limitedâŚplenty of bioengineered crap to go around.
I have only been to the Farmerâs Markets a handful of times this year, because I canât bring myself to pay $12/lb for beef or $30 for a 4.5 lb chicken.
Same here in central WA, I was blaming store management issues (Safeway) but as the cookie crumbles so to speak their ability to maintain inventory via $$$ might be more like it.
I was looking for an Italian spice grinder, none to be found only various pepper mixes. Egg shelf picked over Soviet style. Milk section hit and miss too. This was 9AM Saturday, should be ready and set for the weekend nope.
The local chain grocery at the other end of town better stocked but itâs spendy for the same stuff – their hook for me is Northwest sourced beef, St Helens beef from Oregon and Double R Ranch. Itâs worth a couple bucks a lb more to not be dealing with âkangaroo meatâ from who knows where.
Morning, Sparkey!
I am going to the supermarket later this morning and will report what I see…
All my life I have been around “conservatives” who:
– Cheered on the “war on drugs” and subsequent use of “asset forfeiture” in fighting this “war”-these same types are the cheering on the blowing up boats in international waters with no trial or evidence of wrongdoing.
– Cheered on the “war on terror” and regarded the PATRIOT Act as a “necessary” tool to combat “terrorists” (an ill defined term) and cheered on the wars in Afghanistan and Irag while accusing those opposed to those wars of “supporting our enemies”. Remember the “Terrorist Hunting Permit” and “If You Don’t Get Behind Our Troops, Get In Front of Them” bumper stickers?
– Bitched and screamed about Clinton being a “draft dodger” while making excuses for the Shrub and the Orange Golem for not “serving” while being totally oblivious to the fact that CONSCRIPTION IS SLAVERY and if you can be forced to potentially die for your “country” (meaning the State) you have no rights at all, really.
– Evangelicals in particular are guilty of all of the above, but are even more beneath contempt as they preen around talking about how “moral” their beliefs make them and calling themselves “pro-life” while cheering on endless wars and Israel’s wanton killing of children and babies in Gaza. Beyond despicable.
The lefties gave them a run for their money in the brazen authoritarian department with their actions during Event COVID but over the long term “conservatives” have proven to be the greater evil.
Preach it, Metal Queen!
Isn’t the cognitive dissonance – the hypocrisy and subjectivism – astounding? I think it’s a function of what I’ll style ideologicalism – the unprincipled, reflexive endorsement of whatever is done if it is done by one’s ideological brethren. It is the antithesis of thoughtful, principled positions taken. The latter often being at odds with ideology.
We few who are not like this are in a position similar to that of a man thrown into a prison with violent thugs. If he doesn’t pick the Aryan Nations – or the Black Muslims – one or the other (or both) are going to regard him as their rightful prey.
‘Evangelicals … cheer on … Israel’s wanton killing of children and babies in Gaza.’ — Metal Queen
And the LĂźgenpresse still calls Gaza a ‘war.’ Caitlin Johnstone confronted this abuse of language last April:
Calling the Gaza genocide a âwarâ is like a man beating a toddler to death and calling it a âfight.â
Or saying that shooting fish in a barrel is âhunting.â Beating up a quadriplegic is a âstreet brawl.â A SWAT team shooting an unarmed civilian is a âgun fight.â
Israel is our Christ-forsaken misfortune.
On the subject of abuse of language… When did AGWs start referring to us mere mundanes (the late and great Will Grigg’s word) as “civilians”? Coincident with their all pretending themselves Seal Team Six and throwing flash-bang grenades through bedroom windows, as I recall. But does anybody remember when that was?
Hi StraitGate,
I can remember, as a kid, the term “civilians” being uttered by cop characters in movies and TV shows; these characters were always portrayed as jack-offs. Now they jack-offs are the typical. Hut! Hut! Hut!
The whole DOGE thing was an absolute cluster fumble. âNuff said.
‘What’s happened, then, is that the largesse has been redirected.’ — eric
Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.
There’s zero constitutional basis for a partial government shutdown, no matter how urgent the duties of the parts that remain open — paying Treasury holders, for instance, to stave off default. Trump is an emperor ruling by imperial ukase. The US fedgov has gone openly rogue and illegitimate. And a defiant House has gone on strike, while collecting full pay.
If I were emperor, I’d order the military to draw lots from the names of 435 House members, and execute one per day. They’d be back in session this evening. đ
Free strategic advice from my brother, a retired government lawyer: It’s going to be up to lawyers and courts to preserve the rule of law. Congress won’t do it. The press can’t do it, because the mainstream media has lost most of its influence, post-social media. Academia has already surrendered. That leaves only the courts and the lawyers. Betting on them to save the country from a dictator is a very risky bet — but it’s the only realistic possibility.
I hold out some hope that the Supreme Court will overturn enough of Trump’s illegal actions to retain some semblance of the rule of law to get us to the 2028 election. I think they’ll rule against him on birthright citizenship, tariffs and maybe some redirection of Congressionally-mandated spending (though it’s hard to get that issue before the Court for decision while it’s still a live issue). There’s maybe a 50-50 chance on immigration/Alien Enemies Act.
I may be proven wrong, but I think those who write off the Supreme Court as subservient to Trump are premature. They can give him some victories — they already have — but if they curtail his worst abuses, the Constitution remains, to some degree.
————
‘To some degree.’ *sigh* Actually it’s been that way since 1913 [income tax; Federal Reserve; direct election of Senators]. Or 1865 [secession reversed by federal troops]. What’s left of the constitution today is just a few lacquered shards from a smashed vase. đ
Example from the day before yesterday:
‘Republican senators have questions and concerns about how President Trump is managing to pay more than 1 million military service members during the government shutdown.
‘Republican lawmakers are glad that the military didnât miss their first paychecks of the shutdown on Oct. 15, but theyâre frustrated that Trump once again appears to be trampling on Congressâs power of the purse.
‘Traditionally, the White House needs to send a request to reprogram federal funding to Capitol Hill, and members of the Appropriations Committee need to approve it before an administration is able to shift funds away from the programs for which they were intended.
‘Republican appropriators say they are not aware of the White House sending a reprogramming request to Congress before Trump ordered Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to use âall available fundsâ to make sure that troops got their paychecks this week.’

The RINOs bark, but the executive dictatorship caravan rolls on. The Orange Emperor understandably takes pleasure in cracking his whip over their pencil-necked pointy heads, as they cower like whipped curs with their ‘questions.’ ASSUME THE POSITION, WIMPS!
Hi Jim,
I noticed that Trumpenstein is making sure all the Fedgov âlaw enforcersâ, specifically those who carry weapons, are getting paid. Guess heâs worried that they might not terrorize our populace if theyâre not getting paid, though it seems the masked ICE thugs would do it gratis.
It’s not just Trump. Every single president since 1932 has been an “emperor ruling by imperial ukase.”
Somehow I suspect that those who rule us have forgotten what the revolution was fought over. Perhaps they need to be reminded that it was caused by the overreaching actions of the British King. ZeroHedge has an article on where police shot a man in his own home; minutes before saying to each other he was probably OK. Well he ainât OK now. Apparently what was illegal in the first Dirty Harry movie (search of a suspected sniper and kidnapperâs home invalidating the evidence found) is now OK.
âThe Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi is advancing an argument that threatens to hollow out the Fourth Amendment’s core protection: that Americans may be secure in their homes against warrantless searches.â

What does this have to do with DOGE? It means we have to watch everything GovCo does or we are truly screwed. I should ask why we give foreign aid to countries that hate and control us. Itâs probably a combination a combination of kickbacks and kompromat.
As our country slowly falls apart, the Oligarchs only get richer. The ongoing rises in gold and silver prices are reflecting the ongoing death of the dollar. I suspect fun times are coming.
Spot on.
I am continually perplexed how we went from a weak federal system to the largest government in the world, losing our freedom and money along the way.
Itâs so easy. It was far easier to take over here than it was in Russia, or China. Our federal government by design was small and weak, easily ignored because a written constitution denied it any internal power, and strictly limited external power.
This is why democratic voting was allowed, because it donât matter who populates the feral gov, it has no power and the citizens of the several states outgunned it.
So when a self serving cabal of bankers (call them Fabian socialists, or Bolsheviks, or nobility) took over and changed the rules, nobody paid much attention because it didnât matter.
An imposed federal income tax didnât matter, because it was aimed at those uppity new rich swells, and no working American would ever be robbed by it.
We were a victim of our own success, we had a small weak government, and because of that freedom the country grew fat and rich, attracting vicious predators.
-“I am continually perplexed how we went from a weak federal system to the largest government in the world”
Paging Abraham Lincoln… Mr. Lincoln, please call your office…
DOGE fell victim to the massive alpha male egos of Trump and Musk. I had hope when Musk teased asking Ron Paul for advice. But, alas, we’re not much better off than we were before.
