“It took the Nazis 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 days, 8 hours..to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the 5-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it.” -Gov. Pritzker www.americaamerica.news/p/rooting-ag...

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Appearing today in The Week:

Vance poses immigration as ‘greatest threat’ to US and Europe in CPAC speech. Says the guy whose wife's parents are immigrants. And, whose boss's (Trump) wife and her parents and his parents were immigrants. And, Musk is an immigrant. But yeh, ok JD, whatever you say. Geez, dumb as a board.

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552. Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

EMERGENCY VIDEO: Doesn’t it make sense, since we evidently don’t have enough money to stop AIDS in Africa or utilize that we cut Congress’ budget? Doesn’t it make sense for the White House to live on less? Shouldn’t Elon Musk take a cut to his Space x? adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

A drug addict who makes cars that spontaneously explode, plows into cops, and crash at much higher rates than other cars, is going to fix the air traffic control system? I'm not getting on a plane until this drug-addled illegal immigrant is deported or imprisoned.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

So air travel is now unsafe. Food safety is a thing of the past. Consumer protections no longer exist. The air we breathe and the water we drink can be contaminated due to the dismantling of the EPA. None of these things make America greater.

I'm starting to think DEI was the only thing keeping planes in the air - Make Aviation Great Again!

The incompetent engineers at SpaceX who create aircraft that explode after takeoff are going to take control of the FAA to make aviation safer. Nothing to see. Everything is fine. GIRL, TAKE GREYHOUND!!!

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Wow, this is outrageous! DOGE claims they found fraud where 150 year olds were receiving Social Security! What a joke these incompetent, inexperienced folks running this department are! #BlueCrew #BlueCircleFamily🌈🦋 #BluePetPatrol💙🐾 #ProudBlue #Resist #TruthWarriors #antitrump #antimaga

Check out this video where Musk’s own AI categorically declares him unfit to head DOGE and likely cause the downfall of America. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2UgtxNx/

I repeat…

Knowledge is power…

So what would happen if people refused to pay their taxes this year? If there are no watchdogs or government workers left, who will conduct the audits?

He who violates every law, is not saving the country.
