Those not on board with President Trump’s Make America Great Again agenda are trying everything from vulgarity to lawsuits to stop him, leaving the rest of the country wondering what they would like to see instead.
The old way of doing things under Joe Biden went out the window when his vice president was historically rejected as his replacement. As Trump moves ahead with his MAGA mandate, the resistance has reached preposterous proportions.
For the first time probably ever, a team has lifted Washington’s hood and is exposing billions in government waste and corruption. The taxpayers are apoplectic over what they are finding. But not the Democrats and the legions of leeches who have been feeding off the system for years.
Headed by tech giant Elon Musk, Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered unfathomable waste in the $43 billion Agency for International Development, including millions for transgender operas in Colombia and condoms for the Taliban.
Rather than express an interest in cutting government waste, Oregon Rep. Maxine Dexter declared, “I don't swear in public very well, but we have to f*ck Trump! Please don't tell my children that I just did that." She’s introduced a bill called the “Stop Musk Act” to keep him from finding out where all the money went.
Rep. Donald Norcross is on a similar tear. “You can't make ugly pretty,” he said. “I'm from Jersey, so I look at it a little differently. I say, 'F*ck Trump.”
Senator Brian Schatz encouraged government workers to ignore the DOGE inquiries, calling requests for data on wasteful spending an “illegal instruction.” A group of Democrat Reps banged on the doors of the Department of Education to confront Musk’s team as they were going through the books. “We’re coming in,” declared Rep. Maxine Waters of California. “Get out of the way,” she told a security guard blocking the door. “We pay you.”
“The Democrats have lost their minds,” President Trump said of his opponents. “They looked foolish today. They tried to break into the Department of Education just because we want to go in and check the books.”
Trump’s assault on Washington waste comes as the nation is drowning in debt, with an economy stifled by four years of the policies of the people who are trying to block him. As he tries to grind the gravy train to a halt, the National Debt Clock keeps ticking at $36.4 trillion. Unless Trump can stop it, the debt, which amounts to $323,000 for every taxpayer, is scheduled to increase by a trillion every 100 days. The government borrowing and spending, coupled with anti-energy and other Progressive policies, have driven inflation to all-time highs.
Democrat attorney generals from 14 states, including Leticia James in New York, are launching Lawfare efforts to hinder DOGE and the Chief Executive’s financial review. “We are asking the court to invalidate his directives and actions and to issue a restraining order,” said Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.
As Musk and his team uncover billions in federal waste, New York legislators are calling for a DOGE to root out Albany malfeasance. “Instead of harassing the president, the attorney general should focus on reducing the state’s crime rate and support our efforts to cut the highest taxes and fees in the nation,” said Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano.
