We are witnessing the greatest financial heist in the history of the world. Now, I’m simply working from my 77 years of experience – with about 65 of them following politics to one degree or another – very intently in the previous 45 years – since the days of Reagan where, from my vantage point, America was morphed from a “we” society to a “me” society. We’re seeing that in “spades” with the Musk/Trump administration. There can be no doubt that the United States of America is the “richest country in the world.” The annual budget is something in excess of $6 TRILLION and, from my vantage point, the actual “elite” have had their “crosshairs” on all that MONEY for years – since Reagan began the “trickle down” (I call it “trickle up”) scam in 1981. This SCAM has become really tiresome to me, but the republicans replay it every time they manage to fool “we the people” into putting them in power.

Well, what’s transpiring as I’m typing out this rant is the makings of a brazen attack on America’s institutions making “trickle down” look like “fools gold.” The “elite” (and, now I’m talking about the BILLIONAIRE class that discovered how to manipulate Trump) such as (f)Elon Musk – our unelected co-president, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg (I really wanted to pull a Trump trick and call him “Suckerberg”), Peter Thiel, the DeVoss family, the Walton (Walmart) family, the Coors family, and others (those are the ones which came off the top of my head) have their sights set on pilfering the American taxpayers like they’ve never done before under Trump 2.0.

Of course, co-president Musk is the one out in front with his so-called “DOGE” boys (and, I MEAN boys – I refer to them as the Dogeshits) ripping the American bureaucracy apart at the seems – finally about to achieve the right wing fever dream of undermining the Social Security system allowing them to get their greedy (grubby) hands on the SS trust fund of something like $2.7 TRILLION. Of course, they’re after Medicaid and Medicare which they plan to make – if those programs continue – “private.” Even suggesting “private business” could manage these programs more “efficiently” than the federal government is laughable on its face. For example, the administrative cost of running the Social Security system is around 1%. What “DOGE” will accomplish is less service for more MONEY (ie profits). That is if they don’t manage to crash the entire system leaving the S.S. recipients to flounder kind of like the kids Trump 1.0 separated from their parents – then deported the parents back to their home countries – leaving the kids “high and dry.”

If you don’t know by now, Trump is NOT about efficiency. What he has a lifetime of expertise in is FRAUD. Do you really believe Musk is looking for “waste fraud and abuse?” Honestly, if you’re so gullible as to believe that I’ve got a bridge……… OK, you know the rest. The real FRAUD here is the Musk/Trump administration convincing all its members in the CULT that is what they are “rooting out” of our government. But, just common sense should tell you otherwise. (f)Elon Musk likes to hold up a chainsaw as a metaphor for what he’s doing to the government – and, in this instance, it’s one thing I can agree with. So, how is that supposed to be “rooting out waste fraud and abuse?” To me, it’s simply making (in some instances) random cuts to the government workforce with NO IDEA if there’s any “waste fraud OR abuse” – and, in some instances, I don’t believe the cuts are random at all.

For example, Musk was facing investigation from FIVE government agencies where the inspector generals were FIRED. The Department of Labor had 17 open investigations, regarding both Tesla and Space X, the Department of Defense was looking into Musk’s alleged use of illegal drugs (Ketamine?) and secret conversations with Putin – either of which would bring into question any security clearance. The Department of Agriculture was investigating the Musk led company Neuralink for experimenting with brain implants, and the Department of Environmental Protection was investigating Tesla on more than one occasion. You know, things like allegedly polluting rivers. Each department inspector general was fired almost as soon as Musk was flashing Sieg Hiels during his (and Trump’s) inauguration.

I don’t understand how anyone could mistake what Musk/Trump are doing as anything other than the “mother of all” corruption schemes in the history of this once great nation – and, really, the world. And, all those “conservative” MAGAs out there will find a way to not be surprised and to blame it on Joe Biden when this republican Congress attempts to get the debt ceiling limit removed completely as they’re pushing through their “one big” budget package – which will include something like $5 TRILLION in tax cuts that MOSTLY benefit the “rich.” (OK, the top 1% and large corporations) They’re also going to have to deal with the budget deficit – in addition to the tax cuts – that will be between a half TRILLION and a TRILLION higher because of the reduced tax receipts due to the rising number of unemployed Americans and the impending recession. (They’ve strategically fired about a third of IRS agents – blocking audits of tax cheats)

Are you going to go buy a new car when the price of the car is pushed up from $10,000 to $20,000 because of Trump’s “beautiful tariffs?” Are you going to buy new appliances for your kitchen with an increase of around 25% on each item? Do you really believe Trump’s tariffs will “bring manufacturing back to the U.S.?” For example, the “Chips Act” was passed in 2022 and it will be another year or two until those manufacturing facilities will open – if Trump doesn’t mess that up because he won’t be able to find a way to put his name on the buildings. There are thousands of Americans who are working on those projects today who don’t understand who’s responsible for their jobs. Many of them voted for this disaster we’re now calling the Musk/Trump administration. Will Americans tolerate four years of tariffs while Trump is waiting for the increase to manufacturing?

And, the level of ignorance displayed publicly by co-president Musk is startling to me – but, I guess if the CULT isn’t up to speed with what, I’m sure to Musk, are minor details, then, what the hell? For example, Musk wants judges he doesn’t like impeached suggesting this can be accomplished by “sixty votes.” Of course, even if he was correct, republicans would NEVER get 60 votes to impeach ANY of the judges ruling against the Musk/Trump administration. (Full disclosure/fun fact – it takes two thirds of those present in the Senate to impeach ANYONE in our federal government. I suppose if you could kidnap about 9 or 10 democrats you could do it with 60 votes)

Here’s the worst one for me. Musk, the Apartheid South African, who – as I mentioned above – was flashing Sieg Hiels at the inauguration ceremony (for you uneducated that would mean Nazi salutes – although, I tend to think MOST Trump supporters know what a Nazi salute is), accused Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona of being a “traitor.” He did this in a Fox “news” interview. Why? You might ask. Well, Kelly went to Ukraine and sent back messages of support for the Ukrainians in the fight against the ILLEGAL invasion of their sovereign land. Kelly, by the way, is a decorated veteran and former astronaut. Musk’s rationale, “You can’t support two countries at one time” (or words to that affect) If you do, that makes you a traitor. I would put a different “spin” on it. Coming from the mouth of someone accused of having secret phone conversations with Vladimir Putin – and, who also strategically prevented the Congress from putting into law restrictions on his business in China. Just sayin….. That’s what I would call a traitor – especially with the Nazi salutes! He’s even been reported as attempting to get American war secrets via China! I rest my case.

Of course, maybe the real reason Musk was/is mad at Senator Kelly is because Kelly published a “TikTok” regarding his decision to “get a new ride.” He was standing with his, what looked to me like a, Tesla “S” in the background while he explained he no longer wanted to drive a car “designed and built by an asshole.” Was he referring to Musk? Such harsh language! Well, actually, when I think of our unelected co-president my language – kept to myself when I can – is quite a bit harsher. For me, if you’re going to flash Sieg Hiels in public I’m going to refer to you as a NAZI.

And I have people in my peer group (when physically able I like to play a little golf) who are actually older than me – born during WW II – who are full blown members of the CULT. They are a bit offended when you point out to them their obsequious loyalty to two overt RACISTS actually, well, kind of makes them racists. Oh no, they’ll say. I know someone who is Black. And, I’m not kidding. That’s about how it goes. Or how about the word fascist. To me, when they are treating a couple overt fascists as idols – does that not make them fascists? I guess if you want to be nice you could call them “fascist sympathizers.” But, it only takes a minimal amount of historical reading about 1930’s Germany to let you know where that gets us. I’d say the same about being a misogynist, or a xenophobe, or homophobe – but, they’d likely willingly wear those “badges.” OMG!

While all this is going on, the pilfering of our taxpayers will continue as Musk/Trump hope “we the people” are distracted by their “flooding the zone” strategy. I brought this up BEFORE Trump took the oath of office (refusing to put his hand on the Bible – for some reason) – although, I wasn’t sure what the “thing” they were focused on which “we the people” wouldn’t notice until it was too late. And, last night as I was trying to sleep it became clear as a bell to me. Their goal is to privatize EVERYTHING – including Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. They even want to “privatize” what were the outreaches of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) – now that they have it sufficiently crippled. That’s the plan – cripple it, then take it over.

The number of people around the world DYING because of what the Musk/Trump administration has done to that agency, (USAID) for example, means nothing to them. As I’ve pointed out here many times (in case you’ve been reading any of my rants) MOST of those people are in what Trump refers to as “shit hole countries.” So, why should it matter to them? What matters is if they can figure out a way to supply “stuff” to those countries and work in maybe about a 30% PROFIT. If they can figure that one out all those lives will then become important. (Makes me sick to feel the need to write those words)

Americans are getting more and more pissed as they realize what Musk and his Dogeshits are doing by messing around in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Social Security is its own agency, but Medicaid and Medicare fall under the “umbrella” of HHS – therefore being influenced by RFK Jr. Does that make you feel better? Well, between Musk and RFK it shouldn’t take a whole bunch more to send a “torpedo” into each of these programs. Nearly HALF of all Americans rely on one or more of these programs. In my case, I rely on Medicare and Social Security and I won’t be surprised when Musk/Kennedy mess them up. I’ve been paying into Medicare since its inception and I paid into Social Security for almost 55 years. Like MILLIONS of Americans, I don’t like what I’m seeing from the Dogeshits.

Final Thought: For all you MAGAs out there who are perpetually angry at “liberals” while your republican representatives in Congress (and, periodically, the “White House”) NEVER accomplish ANYTHING which might be of benefit to you – yet, you make it easy for them to keep getting your votes while almost NEVER even listening to you – and, then STEALING Trillions from ALL of us taxpayers each time they gain the “White House” – what will it take to get you to stop and think about what they’re doing to you? (And, of course, also, people like me) And, trust me, I “get” that NO ONE listens to you – but, the truth is President Biden was attempting to make things better in rural areas.

I’m just going to tell it to you straight. For all the power you SHOULD have in Congress you’re not getting much in return. In fact, it was President Biden who was actually doing MORE for people in rural areas, for example – people who vote republican in overwhelming numbers – with things like the Chip factories, or pushing high speed internet into rural locations (things Trump has probably already stopped) to name a couple – both those things designed to make things better in “red states.” Do you even realize it was happening – or if it’s already happened do you realize whose idea it was? Part of why things are so divided in this country is because you’re so gullible. Not only is Trump treating you as if you’re dumb as a rock, but so is Vladimir Putin.

And, Trust me – Putin could care less about you (or Trump). Putin’s goal is to undermine Western democracies and, sadly, you MAGAs are “ripe for the picking.” Now, we have a so-called president ordering people to be accosted on the street, put into shackles, and sent into the most convenient gulags allowing Musk/Trump to strut as if they’re some kind of tough guys. Trump is a weak hyper narcissistic LIAR who is a convenience for the fascists who wrote Project 2025. And, his co-president is simply hyper GREEDY being able to see a convenient way to eliminate federal investigations into his business practices (along with regulations) and to make himself even richer.

You MAGAs believe the Musk/Trump administration is “draining the swamp” – when, in reality a horde of BILLIONAIRES have descended on Washington DC like sharks who sense there’s blood in the water. Just think logically. When people like Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg (Suckerberg?) and other BILLIONAIRES are willing to throw MONEY at Trump and the republicans in Congress by the tens of MILLIONS – who are the swamp creatures? (Of course, Musk is throwing the money around by the HUNDREDS of millions) Do you actually believe they’re spending that money out of the kindness of their hearts? Like to make things better for YOU? Of course not – even you can see that!

By the time these BILLIONAIRES get through with what they’re doing to our government agencies I’m sure they believe things will just keep moving along except they’ll be even RICHER. They don’t seem to understand what they’re doing very likely is going to crash the stock exchange as opposed to triggering the great rise in their fortunes. (Ironically, it seems to me, the four years of President Biden may have been – at least for a few years – if worst comes to worst – the epitome of their great wealth. Of course, when you have no limit in the amount of MONEY you want to hoard, I suppose the grass always looks greener…….. You can fill in the blanks! Stay tuned…….

I have to add: Ask yourself why Musk/Trump want to eliminate the Department of Education – especially if you’re in a red rural area? (Most of America by land mass) Why does Trump exclaim “I love uneducated voters?” If you can’t figure that out, well, there is your answer. They treat you (and LIE to you) as if you’re STUPID. One of my prayers is you will stop proving them correct! One last thing, when they crash the stock market, it will be all those BILLIONAIRES buying up the scraps. Capiralism at its best!
