I’ve been saying for years the choice is between the End of the Democratic Party or the End of America. More people recognize that now.

You were ahead of the curve! The evidence supports your binary outcome. The Dems are dead as an effective party....for now at least.

This is very well written and highlights the need for much needed reform and reflection. How is it that the Democratic Party lost Tulsi and RFK Jr? and even Donald Trump? They have simply failed to govern. How can they go years without even trying to end the bloodshed in the Ukraine. Was the Biden policy just to keep feeding Ukrainian men into a wood chipper until they ran out of soldiers? Where is the humanity in that.

How much money has been wasted and services denied to our own citizens due to willful corruption. Trillions have been wasted on stupid wars that have ended countless lives and social programs that have destroyed families.

Just look at what has happened to the out of wedlock birthrate in the African-American community and the destruction of the middle class and public education and try to convince us that our government has actually served the people over the last 30+ years. The Clintons got rich, the Obama's got rich, Dick Cheney got rich and the country is $36 trillion in debt.

The citizens of this country deserve better and we need to vote that way.

Nobody elected Elon Musk. Correct, Musk wasn't on the presidential ticket. However he was standing on stage along with President Trump very often during the closing weeks of the election campaign. Both made clear that Musk's role, as the head of DOGE, would consist of ending tax-dollar waste and misuse, corruption and embezzlement, and getting rid of useless agencies and incompetent civil servants.

What annoys the Demonrats is that each finding brought to light by DOGE is released in real time and made public. This is the exact opposite of what the duo Biden/Harris did. Back then, everything was hidden, hush-hushed. Nobody knew what the adminstration was doing. But knew for sure that Biden was doing zilch for the American people.

Great points. The corruption in Washington is vast and deep. Example, Biden awarded $2 billion to Stacey Abrams' Power Forward Communities as a pass-through entity to distribute his EPA's $20 billion scheme. A hidden wealth redistribution scheme to enrich his Party's friends in a way that boosts their political influence. In other words, buy votes with taxpayer funds.

In Western Europe billionaire-owned and state-subsidized mainstream media vilify Musk as the head of DOGE and defame Elon as free-speech supporter and practioner.

This noisy campaign aims to divert public's attention from the DOGE efficient work and astounding findings. For sure, England, France, Germany and Italy don't want to have their versions of DOGE. This would speed up the collapse of these wobbling countries.

I have an essay on Vance's speech to European leaders.... you are spot on about them not wanting to have a DOGE going through their budgets.

Thanks Bob. On hindsight, these truths appear apparent. Truths the Democratic party's leadership has fails to acknowledge.

Americans should be outraged. Because of the censorship and media deception, our country has been in the dark....the fog of propaganda to hide the incompetence and corruption.

What does today's Democrat Party stand for?

Having completed a long march through American institutions, today's Democrat Party wishes to realize the culmination of progressive ideals and practices: tyranny under an enlightened few for the "greater good".

Trump and RFKjr can put the final nail in the MSM and democrat party by banning advertising from big Pharma- MSM gets 70% of their revenue from drug advertising- will be so much fun watching them try to figure out how to run a business with their revenue cut 70% - let the firings and bankruptcies begin

Great point. If mainstream media gets 70% of its revenue from drug advertising, and Big Pharma is the largest donor to the Democratic Party, this might explain why prices in this industry are skyrocketing. The same goes for healthcare. Something smells rotten in the corrupt pay-to-play system of politics.

My most favorite Trump quote is when he was delivering a speech in NYC in late 2024. Trump put his hand on Chuck Schumer shoulder and said; “Don’t worry Chuck, given your party’s politics, if Kamala doesn’t win ‘you’ could still be our country’s first female president!”
