Opinion
Lately, I discovered my journey hampered by an expansive if thinly populated demonstration across the North Carolina State Capitol and Common Meeting. Pravda (a/okay/a the Raleigh Information & Observer) proclaimed the demonstration attracted “1000’s” of protestors when, in actual fact, it was maybe 500.
It wasn’t actually an illustration, in fact. It was a mood tantrum. Sure, a nationally choreographed, collective hissy match about …effectively … all the pieces.
There have been “Trump is a felon” indicators, “Democracy not fascism” indicators, and, clearly, indicators demanding jail for Elon Musk. (My, how the mighty have fallen.)
In any case, we now have to place all these “fascists” in jail to guard “democracy,” proper?
Donald Trump’s political Blitzkrieg has leftists in a tizzy, particularly when he throws a feint by bragging he’ll purchase Greenland or take again the Panama Canal.
If the cries of the deep state had been to be believed, we’re amid a “constitutional disaster” (which, in reality, actually means the left is in disaster as a result of we are returning to the structure).
When unsure…
I’ve particularly loved watching leftists invent explanation why DOGE shouldn’t be allowed to do the job constitutionally delegated to the Govt Department. Maybe funniest of all was the Related Press which, with out a shred of irony, whined that Elon Musk is “utilizing one of many world’s strongest info platforms to promote the federal government’s speaking factors whereas intimidating its detractors.”
Perhaps we must always imagine them. In any case, the press and social media platforms spent all the Biden administration changing into consultants on the subject.
Principally, nevertheless, they fall again on that ever-useful tactic of the leftist playbook: When unsure, lie.
At this level, mendacity leftists aren’t even bothering with plausibility. “An unelected shadow authorities is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal authorities,” posted Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) on X.
Lawsuits by 14 Democrat state attorneys normal name Musk “an agent of chaos.”
Ask any leftist and they’ll let you know Musk’s declare that $50 million was earmarked by USAID for condoms to Gaza is fake. What they won’t let you know is, in line with the Related Press:
“Officers stated the Trump administration stopped two $50 million buckets of ‘help’ for Gaza by way of the Worldwide Medical Corps, which included: household planning programming together with emergency contraception; sexual healthcare together with prevention and administration of sexually transmitted infections (STIs); and adolescent sexual and reproductive well being. [Emphasis added]
That’s not $50 million for condoms in Gaza. Talking usually, it’s truly extra like $100 million.
Higher nonetheless, “At Oval Workplace, Musk Makes Broad Claims of Federal Fraud With out Proof,” proclaimed The New York Occasions, apparently with a straight face.
Nevertheless, in line with “Simply the Information”:
“Your complete article hinged on a comparatively temporary trade between reporters and Musk and President Donald Trump within the Oval Workplace. The copy was riddled with flippant editorialization, equivalent to a line describing Musk as ‘an unelected appointee with huge attain throughout the federal government’ after quoting his personal criticism of the federal forms as an ‘unelected, fourth, unconstitutional department of presidency.’
“The article largely takes difficulty with the truth that Musk didn’t present reporters with screenshots, receipts, and documentation for normal claims concerning the pervasive nature of federal fraud at that actual second. Whereas he didn’t present such supplies in particular person, he directed experiences to DOGE’s X account, the place his aides have posted such supplies accessible to the general public.”
Apparently, the celebrated journalists of The Grey Girl dug so deeply into the problem that they missed not solely DOGE documentation, but in addition a newfangled service known as Google.
Additionally from “Simply the Information”:
“The [U.S. Government Accountability Office] report from September 2024, for example, warned that ‘the federal authorities may lose between $233 billion and $521 billion yearly to fraud alone.’ In fiscal yr 2023, it discovered $236 billion in improper funds throughout 71 packages.”
On the upside, we must always rejoice the obvious effectiveness of Obamacare in : Whereas auditing Social Safety, Musk found 17 million recipients who made age 100, and absolutely 12 million who’ve lived to the ripe outdated age of 120 or extra. (Nonetheless smarting from being ejected from the White Home press pool, the Related Press insists that many of the centenarians will not be getting checks.)
Elsewhere, DOGE and Lee Zeldin, the brand new administrator for the EPA, canceled a $50 million grant made throughout the Biden administration for “environmental justice” by a corporation advocating “local weather justice travels by a Free Palestine.”
Certainly, Zeldin situated $20 billion in taxpayer funds that Biden & Co. intentionally squandered earlier than leaving workplace in an train one Biden appointee dubbed “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.”
The “gold bars” being “tossed” had been, in fact, bought along with your cash.
Within the Division of Housing and City Improvement alone, DOGE helped HUD Secretary Scott Turner get well $1.9 billion “misplaced” by the Biden cabal. It’s protected to say that barring a couple of elites, HUD cash has by no means been “misplaced” into your checking account.
Oh, and did I overlook to say the $4.7 trillion (sure, trillion) in untraceable U.S. Treasury funds as a result of deep state bureaucrats determined that account identification codes had been “elective”?
Determined Dems
More and more determined leftists, with no saleable agenda for the American public, now need us to imagine that each aviation crash within the 38 days Trump has been in workplace are someway his fault. Of the Delta Airways crash in Toronto, Schumer stated: “Trump’s doing large layoffs on the FAA – together with security specialists – and making our skies much less and fewer protected.”
By no means thoughts that layoffs on the FAA had been unrelated to security inspections; by no means thoughts that the crash was in Toronto beneath Canadian air site visitors management; by no means thoughts that even Delta CEO Ed Bastian stated FAA cuts wouldn’t affect security, or that Trump is definitely planning to enhance the variety of FAA inspectors. Schumer proves but once more that there isn’t a lie a leftist gained’t inform to defend his ideology.
When all else fails, kill the messenger…
Citing dramatically elevated loss of life threats from The Voice of Tolerance and Range, Elon Musk simply had his safety element deputized by the U.S. Marshalls Service, presumably enabling them to hold firearms throughout state traces. CNN says Musk’s element rivals that of the President.
Good factor. In reality, let’s hope Musk’s safety is best than Trump’s in Butler, PA. Even past loss of life threats, leftist hyperbole likening Trump and Musk to “Nazis” and “fascists,” calls to assassinate Musk uncovered by “Libs of TikTok” (to which Musk stoically replied “All people dies, however not everyone lives”), and regardless that Musk famous final yr that two individuals tried to kill him inside 8 months, everything of the hassle to empty the swamp depends upon two individuals: Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Lest you imagine hazard comes solely from the lunatic fringe, take into account that Congressman Robert Garcia (D-CA) lately informed CNN that Musk is “harming the American public in an infinite means, and what I feel is absolutely vital and what the American public need, is for [leftists] to deliver precise weapons to this political bar battle. That is an precise battle for democracy, for the way forward for this nation.” [Emphasis added]
Garcia additionally used one other frequent leftist tactic when he exhibited to Congress an image of Musk, calling it a “dick pic,” which he reaffirmed within the CNN interview. The tactic? Once you don’t have a cogent argument, begin slinging names.
As I’ve documented in earlier blogs, leftists take into account homicide to be an appropriate coverage instrument. Sadly, I vote Donald Trump for winner of the competition known as “Most Prone to Endure an Assassination Try by a Leftist Nutcase.” Quantity two on the listing is Elon Musk.
He who laughs final…
A good friend lately talked about that his son will get laughs from watching leftists on MSNBC come utterly unhinged. And sure, I too have loved a little bit of schadenfreude. However I wouldn’t snort too arduous fairly but.
Mike Shelby, previously of navy intelligence, writes “Ahead Observer,” a service analyzing threats to America, be they overseas or home. Shelby has been describing how the assorted “black block”-clad miscreants can’t fairly appear to get it collectively like they did in 2020.
Shelby additionally notes that USAID, which is being decimated by DOGE, has been a giant supply of funding for anti-American leftist organizations. White Home deputy chief of workers Stephen Miller informed Maria Bartiromo of Fox Information:
“[T]he USAID was a slush fund, to start with, for left-wing tasks across the globe, like gender surgical procedures world wide, variety, fairness and inclusion insurance policies, loopy Inexperienced New Deal local weather scams, and each different lunatic left-wing challenge that’s bankrupting this nation.
“However, even past that, it was funding a military of left-wing activists, these NGOs, nongovernmental organizations, NGOs[sic]. They get billions and billions of {dollars}, and so they use that cash to then infiltrate company America, to then infiltrate the general public sector, to then resettle, for instance, at taxpayer expense, hundreds of thousands of unlawful aliens into this nation, to drive racist fairness insurance policies, to drive radical left gender insurance policies.
“And so what we now have discovered is that this mammoth, left-wing energy construction, plus left-wing media, wasn’t natural. It wasn’t created naturally. It was funded by taxpayer {dollars}. And that’s the reason they’re screaming and screeching so loud now, is as a result of President Trump is reducing off the slush fund to the organizations that hate and damage America.”
On the upside, DOGE is dealing the left an enormous setback. On the draw back, the left by no means offers up. Leftist lynch mobs could be smaller, however depend on their response being extra dramatic. Proper now, we’re seeing lawsuits, inflammatory rhetoric, and makes an attempt to dam ICE deportations (together with doxxing ICE brokers).
However given a conservative Supreme Courtroom, many if not many of the lawsuits will fail. Given Tom Homan’s vow to deport violent unlawful aliens and prosecute anybody who stands in the way in which, radicals attempting to forestall deportation of MS-13 and tren de aragua killers will in the end fail. And given Trump’s mission to neutralize transgender radicalism, males claiming to be ladies will not dominate ladies’s sports activities.
What occurs then? What occurs when neo-Marxists attempting to destroy American society face utter defeat? My cash says we are going to see a reprise of the violent radicalism inflicted within the Seventies by the Climate Underground, Symbionese Liberation Military, Pink Military Faction, and their ilk.
In any case, few animals are extra harmful than a wounded leftist.
