You know maybe we ought to be paying attention to this

Well said:

“If the bureaucracy is fighting the will of the people. Then we live in a bureaucracy, not a democracy.” -Musk

And here’s the thing, that’s exactly what we’ve got going on right now. The bureaucracy, the deep state if you will, is scrambling, desperately trying to maintain its power, in spite of the will of the people, so clearly expressed in the most recent election.

There is a point at which this ridiculous defense of the indefensible becomes evil to say the least and certainly criminal.

That line has been crossed.

If a so-called non-government organization or NGO shuts down, Simply because it cannot survive without government funding, it never was a non-government organization…  Rather, it is simply one operating outside public view and the legal restrictions normally placed on governmental organizations. The better name perhaps would be AstroTurf.

* The entire purpose of government education is to keep people uneducated. Think I’m kidding? When Jimmy Carter created the Federal department of education we were first in education around the world. We are now 25th.

*

* Those of you still thinking that Trump is a Nazi dictator, when’s the last time you heard of a Nazi or a dictator of any kind for that matter who wanted to reduce the power of government, and then went about doing it? For the slow people in the back row, that means reducing the power of government does not make you a fascist.

* If you want proof that the whole electric car scene was nothing more than political correctness writ large, witness the number of people who are dumping the Teslas that just a short while they were so proud of, because Elon Musk is helping to reduce the power of government. Obviously, political power is more important than the electric car ploy.

* Hey, federal workers ….I wouldn’t be too worried about being unemployed. There’s large numbers of jobs opening up that until recently were occupied by people who have since been deported. Or maybe you could learn to code. There’s all kinds of possibilities out here in the real world.

*

*Name for me one Democrat who has cheered for the elimination of fraud in the federal budget. For that matter, name for me one Democrat who has successfully laid the claim that there is no fraud in the federal budget. Nobody has claimed that musk and his team are lying.

If you don’t pay attention and just believe the MSM, you might actually think Trump started this “trade war”. You would be very very wrong…

Here are just a few of the tariffs Canada has on the U.S. long before Trump 45 or 47

Dairy Products:
Milk: 270%
Cheese: 245%
Butter: 298%
Other Agricultural Products:
Chicken: 238%
Sausages: 69.9%
Barley seed: 57-57.8%
Industrial Goods:
Copper: 48%
Aluminum: 45%
Steel: 25%
Consumer Goods:
Cars: 45%
TVs: 45%
Eggs: 163%
Wheat: 94%
Bovine/Meat: 26.5%
Source : Global Affairs Canada

If there really is an ally in a so called trade war, Canada started it. Most Canadian businesses are taxed heavily by the government and couldn’t survive without imposing tariffs on the USA. This is the price of socio-communism.

Just a few thoughts as I passed through the day.

* The proper description for sugar-free vegan brownies is “compost”.

* You know, if I’d spent the last number of years getting kickbacks through various government organizations and NGOs, I probably wouldn’t like audits happening either.

*One of the reasons I might not like that happening is because for all of the screaming about Donald Trump supposedly being a felon, guess what, gang? A lot of the people that have been taking these kickbacks and ripping off the American taxpayer for generations now are also going to be felons.

Meanwhile public approval is widening. Rasmussen is reporting:

55% of American voters approve of Elon Musk running DOGE, 45% disapprove… a net approval of +10 –

Let’s hope that the Democrats with their hands in the cookie jar are actually charged with felonies. Simply exposing the crime doesn’t matter without punishment to back it up.

* Whatever happened to the people that prior to the election we’re telling us that Trump would never share the limelight with anybody? He’d never bring in people like Kennedy for example cuz he wanted to be the standalone star? There isn’t a president in my lifetime who has done a better job of distributing responsibility and credit.

I see even a large number of the left raising this question. That alone tells me that what Elon Musk and his team are doing is a fabulous thing. Even the most militant of the limit the government people are shocked at just how bad it’s got

But there’s a basic idea that the hard-boiled left will never allow itself to understand, and here it is:

Government power is always abused by seizing and perverting the law. And with few exceptions, government always determines what is law.

The sharper among you will know where that quote comes from, without having to search engine the thing.

This is precisely why the founders believed, and rightly, that government should be limited. It was Thomas Jefferson that observed that the natural state of government is growth. That’s something that he strenuously advised against, saying that the federal government should be limited both in scope and in power.

I firmly believe that Jefferson would have been horrified and yet not surprised just how far outside the constitutional box our federal government has gotten and how much abuse draft and waste has been baked into the cake these last many years. Horrified, but perhaps not surprised.

The socialist left has been saying for generations now that we could solve all of our problems as a nation by forcing the rich to pay more in taxes.

Well, I guess that we are supposed to forget that they already pay more than anybody else. I have been responding for many years by pointing out that we don’t have a problem of not collecting enough taxes, we have a problem of too much spending. Way too much.

I must say that I take a certain level of satisfaction these days adding that the stuff that Elon Musk and his team at dug up even just what they’ve dug up so far more than bears that statement out.

I would further suggest that the reason that the left is so annoyed with Elon Musk listening the fraud and abuse that’s been going on for generations now is because they and their policies are the fraud and abuse that he’s pointing out.

I’ll even go a step further than that. One of the complaints the left has been leveling is that he’s using computer geeks as opposed to accountants. I have a couple responses to this.

Given the number of things that they’ve already dug up which the left is now forced to defend, thus forcing them into the position of defending the indefensible, do they really think that actual accountants will come up with results that are more favorable for the left? I think we both know better than that.

Another thing about the supposed youth have been experience of his team. These people know computers inside outside and backwards. I’ve got an extensive history and the it divisions of a major Bank. I can tell you that I know a very few 7 year olds that can’t out operate their parents on today’s technology.

Put these lame arguments in the end are product of the left desperation. Then again I guess if I had a seemingly unlimited amount of funding to do with it whatever I felt like doing, whatever I felt I could get away with, I guess I’d be pretty desperate too if that funding suddenly got cut off, particularly if there were criminal connotations to obtaining that funding… As it turns out there is.

In case you’re having trouble keeping up, here’s a summary . . .

Trump: I am cutting wasteful spending by our Government.

Democrats: IMPEACH HIM! We told you that Trump would be a dictator on day 1!!

Elon: We are $36 Trillion in debt, let’s find ways to cut Government spending.

Democrats: NO ONE VOTED FOR ELON MUSK!

RFK Jr.: I want to make America Healthy Again!

Democrats: WHAT!?! Noooo!!! You can’t do that!!

Trump: I will be putting a 25% Tariff on Mexico and Canada for refusing to work with America to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs coming into our Country.

Democrats: WTF!! Americans will now have to pay higher prices for Avocados and Coronas.

Tulsi: We should discuss the U.S. DoD funded bio labs in Ukraine.

Democrats: OH!! HELL NO! Tulsi is Putin’s puppet!!

Trump: I am deporting criminals who are in our Country illegally.

Democrats: Ummm?!?! Who will pick our crops????

RFK Jr.: I want to put an end to the rise of Chronic Diseases in children.

Democrats: Hey, dummy…that is literally Big Pharma’s job!!

Trump: We should look into ending all Incomes taxes on tips, overtime and social security.

Democrats: WTF!! What about egg prices?!?

Elon: We should investigate how members of Congress making low end 6-figure salaries become multi-millionaires.

Democrats: PANIC!! Billionaire Musk will have access to your home address and social security number!

Hegseth: We shouldn’t spend billions protecting foreign borders, while completely ignoring our own.

Democrats: WHAT ABOUT EGG PRICES?!?

RFK Jr.: We need to ban toxic dyes and bring awareness to the negative impacts on Fluoride in our water.

Democrats: SOMEONE, STOP HIM!! He is a crazy conspiracy theorist!!!

Trump: I am protecting women’s sports by signing an Executive Order to ban biological males from biological female’s sports.

Democrats: HORRIBLE!!! Only evil people would do such awful things to transgender women!!!

Elon: Should we audit the IRS next?

Democrats: The Rocket Scientist is, like, the dumbest billionaire, like, ever!

When you are defending the indefensible, nonsense is what comes out of your mouth. Clearly that’s what’s happening here.

Eric Florack on February 11th, 2025

* What fascist in history has ever sought to shrink government? Next time you hear one of your left wing friends tell you about how Trump is a fascist, hit them with that question. The stunned silence will speak volumes.

* Does this surprise anyone?

* Taylor Swift concerts are a controlled atmosphere by virtue of the fact that only people that like her and her music are going to pay the big bucks to see her perform. Her reaction to being booed very loudly at the super bowl must have been a bit of a shock. For the first time in a long time there was evidence in her face that she is not nearly as popular in the general public as she had believed. And, speaking of her face, the look on it told the story.

* If it wasn’t for inconsistent standards they wouldn’t have any at all.

* Word on the wire is that that character that killed the healthcare executive has received something on the order of $300,000 donations for his legal defense fund. Given the profile of this case, my take is that the figure seems a little low. And I would be interested to see where the money was coming from.

* That anybody is willing to publicly defend this animal’s actions is troubling, but then again look at what else the left has been defending. Usaid for example. The bison crime family. Anthony fauci. The list goes on and on. Defending the indefensible appears to be something of a character trait for the Democrat party these days. There can be little doubt that there will be electoral consequences for those defenses.

President Donald Trump learned today a Federal Whistleblower and former PA State Police employee has come forward with information and filed a criminal complaint this week on February 7, 2025, allegedly linking Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro with the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Allegations from the private criminal complaint,

“In the weeks leading up to the Trump Rally, President Joseph R. Biden, made frequent visits to Defendant Joshua Shapiro to discuss the obstacle faced by the Democratic party. Joshua Shapiro, organized, schemed, and conspired with other officials to carry out the attempted assassination against Former President Donald J. Trump.”

“Governor Josh Shapiro, facilitated, planned, and coordinated the attempted assassination to climb the political ladder..”

“On July 13, 2024, this Affiant contacted the Secret Service to provide a tip which was blocked by Biden’s Administration.

On July 15, 2024, through July 23, 2024, this Affiant communicated with Secret Service Agent John T. Donohue and provided numerous documentations related to the crimes committed by Governor Joshua Shapiro and the Philadelphia FBI’s involvement in covering up the crimes of Defendant Joshua Shapiro. Agent John T. Donohue sent the complaint to Headquarters, but the Biden Administration blocked it.

On March 9, 2024, Supervisory Special Agent Kenneth Keller, advised this Affiant through email that he contacted the FBI Philadelphia Personnel, FBI victim services, and management at the Washington Field office, and that they advised him to direct the Affiant to Philadelphia FBI. Agent Kenneth Keller informed this Affiant that the crimes being reported are not occurring in his jurisdiction, and that he has no jurisdiction to assist Pennsylvania victims. He advised the Affiant to contact the Department of Justice. This affiant contacted the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation. Up until recently, Ex FBI director Christopher Wray was conspiring with the Biden Administration and concealing the reports.

Now that he has resigned, this private criminal complaint must be investigated.”

July 23, 2024 the former State police employee filed documents to have criminal charges of attempted homicide filed against Governor Josh Shapiro. Butler County District Attorney, Richard Goldinger sent a letter to the former State police employee, dated August 22, 2024 refusing to bring attempted murder charges, because it was being investigated by other agencies.

Governor Josh Shapiro has not been criminally charged at the time of this story and presumed innocent of any alleged wrongdoing.

Both President Trump and Josh Shapiro are attending the Super Bowl today, which should make for an interesting game. ~ via Pennsylvania Arrest Warrants

Just a few thoughts on the events of the day:

* So, now the teachers unions are talking about arming to fight Trump’s policies in the streets. These are the same people that complained about arming themselves to protect their students from school shooters.

*It is impossible to underestimate the idiocy contained in the skull of the average socialist. The proof comes out every time they open their mouths.

* We are supposed to accept the idea that immigrants make us strong. Well, arguably the legal ones do. The illegal ones not so much. If you look closely you may notice that their home countries are refusing to take them back. Sounds to me like those countries don’t think that the people that snuck into our country aren’t going to make them stronger.

*If you’re going to insist on tipping the waiter, you’re not going to get any of my business. Not dime One.

* Amusing, to watch the Democrats marching on the agencies that have been audited. What they’re trying to hide seems rather obvious. The panic level is nothing short of amazing. Then again I guess it shouldn’t be. You always catch the most flack when you’re flying directly over the target.

#I think the funniest thing I’ve heard today is the complaint that Elon Musk has access to your social security number. Well, so do a few thousand people in the federal government, your bank, your insurance company, the state you’re driving in because your license has it. I mean let’s think about this seriously; do the people making this complaint think he’s going to be taking Grandma’s social security check, or maybe taking out fraudulent loans based on somebody else’s id? These people are complaining based on fear and nothing more. If they actually thought these things through, they wouldn’t say word one. Then again if they went that route, they wouldn’t be able to complain about the change in administration. And that’s really the thing… They still can’t get over the idea that Donald Trump won the election despite their worst efforts.

USAID NOT THE BIGGEST SCAM:

MUSK’S DOGE TEAM REVEALS THE BIGGEST FRAUD IN U.S. HISTORY—$100 BILLION STOLEN FROM TAXPAYERS THROUGH MEDICARE!

Elon Musk has detonated the most explosive revelation in history, A staggering $100 BILLION—siphoned from the American people, funneled through a system designed not to provide healthcare, but to fuel covert operations, line elite pockets, and sustain an agenda that was never meant to be uncovered.

With Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) peeling back the layers of corruption, Musk’s team has gained limited yet damning access to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency responsible for over one billion Medicare claims annually. What they’ve uncovered isn’t just a broken system—it’s a well-oiled criminal empire.

Medicare serves 68 million Americans, Medicaid another 73 million—one in four citizens trapped inside a system designed for plunder. Between June and October 2024, CMS was forced to suspend 850 agents and brokers for fraud, from unauthorized enrollments to illegal plan switches. These were not isolated incidents. They were part of a larger, calculated financial attack embedded in the very core of government healthcare.

The Justice Department has been aware for years. In June 2024, the DOJ indicted 193 defendants—76 of them medical professionals—in a $2.75 billion Medicare fraud operation. Yet these were only the foot soldiers. The true architects remain untouched, operating above the law. Since 2007, over 5,400 defendants have been charged, with more than $27 billion stolen.

The missing $100 billion isn’t missing at all. It’s been redirected into black ops funding, financing CIA shadow programs, experimental weapon development, and covert global influence campaigns. Big Pharma’s role is undeniable, using fraudulent Medicare payouts to keep hospitals, doctors, and insurers locked into their control. Stolen funds also grease the wheels of political machinery—untraceable slush funds financing election interference and opposition suppression. The laundering mechanisms are intricate, cycling through shell companies, offshore accounts, and private equity firms, ensuring those at the top remain untouchable.

Now, the Deep State is preparing its counterattack. The media is mobilizing a disinformation blitz, branding Musk’s findings as “exaggerated” and dismissing his team as “unqualified.” The DOJ and intelligence agencies are poised to retaliate, likely fabricating an investigation into Musk’s access to CMS data under the guise of “national security concerns.” Expect sudden SEC probes into Tesla, antitrust pressure on SpaceX, and government threats against Starlink—all calculated moves to silence him.

The evidence itself is in danger. Cyber warfare and “system glitches” could conveniently erase key data before the public ever sees it. If that fails, personal attacks are inevitable. Expect leaks, “anonymous sources,” and strategically timed scandals designed to discredit Musk before the truth fully surfaces.

This is the moment that will determine who truly controls America. The $100 billion Medicare heist is more than just financial fraud—it’s a revelation that threatens to unravel the entire power structure. If the full extent of this operation is exposed, it won’t just shake Washington—it will collapse the entire corrupt establishment.

This is the war Trump’s DOGE was created for.

If it’s only $100 billion I’ll be stunned

I think most of us would be.
