War on Trump vs Trump Tariff Trade War

Am I the only one who find Congressional Democrats once again dividing our nation while conducting their hypocritical attacks on President Trump by openly resisting his agenda’s measures aimed at making life for Americans better than ever before even as world leaders begin to comply with fair tariff trade practices in response to Trump impending tariffs.

Instead of getting on board in a show of solidarity FOR AMERICA these Congressional Democrats waste their efforts on stirring up division with outright false misleading claims that Trump is ruining our democracy by closing our borders to unlawful migration, deporting unlawful criminal migrants and demand that America First is un-American.

While anti-American, anti-Israel protestors take over our nation’s top universities and colleges, taking hostages, injuring students and stir political unrest, canceling student visas for involved foreign students and expelling them from our nation is being resisted by Congressional Democrats, the left leaning media and the un-informed/under-informed American public.

Condoning violence against the Tesla brand that has nothing to do with the gallant efforts of Elon Musk leading DOGE to stop ramped fraud throughout the US Government that wastes $B of taxpayer funds in places and on things that do not contribute to the US economy is uncalled for.

Very recently during congressional hearings Democratic NY House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries made a “historic” record breaking speech of more than 24 hours saying absolutely nothing of substance. His time could have been spent reading the fine print on legally binding documents or telling Americans the importance of patriotism, obeying the laws of our nation and the US Constitution or even warning of the consequences of violence on the streets and in the institutions of learning across our nation. He could have openly stated “STOP THE VIOLENCE”, but he didn’t.

I find it odd that the leaderless Democratic Party fears the demise of the Party over the demise of the Nation due to a potentially impending national bankruptcy caused by years of fiscal mismanagement and our governments wasteful spending.

The focus of the Democratic Party over the past 10 years has not been on shaping a better more secure national identity, but on beating President Donald Trump.

The focus of President Donald Trump has been on making this nation great again and uniting ALL Americans for one cause America First.

If you have ever driven a vehicle or flown on an airliner you know that insuring everyone is secured by seatbelts before you take care of yourself. The safety of everyone should be our primary concern.

A Better Understanding of DOGE

Do you believe the political hype being pushed by the fake news about DOGE?

Do you even know what DOGE is doing?

Have you looked at the results of DOGE’s audit of government and do you even care?

Well you should care and more importantly you should pay close attention to what DOGE is doing to bring best business practices for financial accountability to government.

Who are the DOGE individuals and how are they doing that?

What are the results of what has already been done by DOGE?

What will happen if DOGE fails?

What are the real world consequences?

We hear from far left politicians and their fake news lackeys that Elon Musk and DOGE are going into Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, the IRS, the DOD, USAID and soon into EVERY government agency or department to steal YOUR MONEY and put it into the deep pockets of Donald Trump’s billionaire friends. We also hear that President Trump’s cabinet is filled with rich billionaires and millionaires and they are set on dismantling the government so that Trump can declare himself “KING”!

What is puzzling is that the congressional politicians shouting the loudest about DOGE’s unlawful intrusion have not chosen to become part of the House subcommittee on DOGE or go to the official DOGE website or to DOGE’s Latest Works on X, in order to see the ever growing list of fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer money uncovered thus far.

The members of the DOGE team are headed by very successful businessmen, financial specialists and even a retired rocket scientist, all specializing in business finance systems and software and who are inserting database and software safeguards into official record keeping, database management and financial disbursements. I like to think of them as inputting “Enhanced Quick Books for Dummies” to bring full accountability and prevent continued misuse of taxpayer dollars.

There are quite a number of computer’s IT systems and databases that do not interface (talk) with each other, leaving “cyber holes” that are penetrable by nefarious actors who every day access and redirect monetary benefit payments. These discrepancies are uncovered and corrective action taken to plug these “cyber holes” and protect legitimate benefits.

Did you know that the federal government has one (1) single bank account for ALL DISPURSEMENTS from more than 500 entities and nobody is minding the store to insure any expenditures are valid.

America really has been the world’s ATM funded by hard working American taxpayers.

It is quite amazing that over the past 50+ years a number of presidents and congresses have sought to address government fraud, yet even when identified, no action was taken because nobody had any idea of what corrective action was or how to implement.

According to Elon Musk and his volunteer DOGE team leadership if the downward trajectory of government spending without accountability is not brought under control it will result in the bankruptcy and insolvency of the US federal government. Then nobody gets anything.

America owes a tremendous debt of gratitude for this incredible team of patriotic volunteers devoting the better part of six months of their lives and business ventures to save America.

Thank You DOGE – RTM

Contempt by Congress

It is obvious that not every elected official is suited for the national exposure given to members of Congress. Many are very smart people elected to serve in the best interests of and by their constituents yet after being sworn in as an elected official a relative few push the boundaries and test the limits of their newfound power.

When these new legislatures exceed their authority without being restrained they expose themselves and are seen as frauds or worse. They develop an attitude of contemptuous disrespect for everyone not in agreement with their views. They are like a bad apple that spoils the entire box.

Contempt /kən-tĕmpt′/ – noun

• The feeling or attitude of regarding someone or something as inferior, base, or worthless; scorn.
• The state of being despised or dishonored.
• Open disrespect or willful disobedience of the authority of a court of law or legislative body.
• Open disrespect or willful disobedience of the authority of the President of the United States.

What is the purpose of Congress?

Is it not to insure the safety and freedom of the citizens?

Is it not to create laws through legislation that set the limits of power of the government?

Is it not for the good of the citizenry as a whole?

When I see members of Congress legislating coherently across the aisle am I then to assume those purposefully demonstrating and resting are derelict in their duties and not worthy of the trust given them by their own voters?

Their actions amount to advocating for violence and should be condemned by their peers and the voters alike. Whether new or seasoned members of Congress they dishonor the institution they represent and should resign and go home. – RTM

The Mandate

I’m sure that by now you’ve heard President Trump talk about the 2024 election where the American people gave him a mandate to fix what is wrong in America and to Make America Great Again. If you listen to the pundits in congress and on the fake news outlets they say that Trump is a man, not God and simply wants to be king and put everyone back on the plantation picking cotton. Ridiculous!

What you may not know is that in 2012 Donald Trump felt God was drawing him to run for president.

On June 16, 2015 when Donald Trump came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower and announced he was running for president the attacks began almost immediately. I often wondered why a rich self-made man like Donald Trump would lay it all aside to run for the presidency. After all Trump had his own real estate development empire, his own airplane and the freedom to go and do as he pleased. Trump had his family, his wealth and there was absolutely no reason to go for the presidency except his love for the country which he saw being ruined by corrupt politicians.

In a September 2015 meeting at Trump Tower Donald Trump received a two pronged mandate from God who spoke to Texas businessman Dr. Lance Wallnau,

‘Donald Trump is a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness.’ God spoke right to my ear, and said, ‘The next President of the United States will be the forty-fifth president, and he will be an Isaiah 45 president.’ But God restrains evil through common grace. Saving grace is what gets a Christian saved. One aspect of common grace is that God establishes officials—even ones who are not believers—to restrain evil in society.”

Wallnau remembers that he pulled his Bible out of his briefcase—“one of those big King James Bibles”—and “plopped it open to Isaiah 45.” He read the passage about Cyrus and explained how this prophecy had been spoken one hundred years before Cyrus came into office.

“I told Trump that the reason God’s hand was on him was because of the grace of God—to restrain evil. And that he would be the forty-fifth president of the United States. And when it was over, Mr. Trump knew that I had prophesied over him.” – The Faith of Donald J. Trump

We all remember the scandals, the endless investigations, the impeachments and yes the 2020 election that led to January 6^th, 2021 and still President Trump did not cower down or give up as many on the left wanted. I remember Watergate where President Richard Nixon resigned amid threat of impeachment and removal from office. Congressional democrats wanted the same outcome from President Trump.

When President Joe Biden was sworn into office the attacks on Trump intensified. There were movements within the democratic led congress to strip Trump of many of his “former presidential benefits”. Then can the Lawfare under the Biden DOJ and various state DOJs attempting to bankrupt and imprison Trump in attempts to prevent him from running or returning to the White House.

On July 13, 2024 in Butler, PA a lone gunman open fired at a Trump rally, killing and wounding innocent bystanders and grazing former President Donald Trump’s right ear. The gunman was shot and killed by a secret service sharpshooter.

On September 15, 2024 an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was prevented and the would-be assassin was arrested by secret service agents.

On November 5, 2024 former President Donald Trump won the popular vote.

On December 17, 2024 former President Trump won the Electoral College votes.

On January 13, 2025 former President Donald Trump became President-Elect.

On January 20, 2025 President Donald Trump became the 47^th President of the United States.

It has been 64 days and much has happened with all of President Trump’s cabinet having been confirmed by congress, executive actions are being signed, the borders are closed and violent criminal migrants are being arrested, detained and deported. The DOGE team under the direction of President Trump is auditing the entire executive branch for identifying and stopping governmental fraud, waste and abuse.

A new phase of Lawfare has been waged by congressional democrats and partisan democratic justices in a sweeping effort to curtail and stop the Trump agenda of shrinking government, removing unlawful migrants and hindering Trump’s foreign affairs agenda.

A new wave of domestic terrorism is being waged against Tesla and Elon Musk in an effort to prevent DOGE from carrying out its mandate from President Trump to root out fraud, waste and abuse.

It is ironic that the triumph of American entities on the world stage and the championing of ending senseless wars overseas is seeing democrat lawmakers becoming democrat lawbreakers in defiance of President Trump and no other reason. What an example for foreign powers who stop and take notice that American President Donald Trump has presented ultimatums and alternative actions, yet American congressmen and congresswomen are so defiant?

A united America projects a strong America; a divided America projects chaos!

The Bible tells us that the safest place in the world to be is in the perfect will of God and nothing can stop what God has ordained. Amid all the personal attacks against President Trump, his family and his administrations it seemed like his presidency is doomed to fail.

God has other plans! – RTM

DOMESTIC TERRORISM IN THE UNITED STATES

What we see happening across the nation, in universities, in cities and at private businesses is nothing short of domestic terrorism. Some may say it is protected speech under the first amendment of the Constitution, others call it peaceful protests and when it involved willful and deliberate destruction of private or corporate real or intellectual property I call it domestic terrorism and it must be stopped.

Student organized and led protests are protected under the first amendment so long as the students are citizens of the United States. Foreign students studying in the U.S. with educational visas or even green card residents do not have constitutional protective speech and are subject to having their visas and/or green cards revoked and their being deported when they break U.S. law.

Anyone who organizes or funds terrorist activities in U.S. homeland or territories may fall under the F.B.I. or H.L.S. definitions of Domestic Terrorism and be subject to criminal prosecution for violating federal or state laws.

Agitators in schools of higher education who incite students to raise up and commit acts of violence, trespass private property and imprison students, faculty, or staff do not deserve to be terminated and expelled and in the case of foreign students – deported from the U.S. Individuals who organize, fund and/or promote terrorist activities will be apprehended, prosecuted and when convicted face severe sentences of incarceration.

There is never a “right” reason to do wrong.

It’s been said that criminals really aren’t that smart and since money makes the world go round – one need only follow the money. – RTM

United States Digital Service (USDS) vs Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

In 2011 President Barack Obama addressed getting fraud out of government by creating the United States Digital Service and appointing Vice President Joe Biden as his USDS Czar saying “Joe is the perfect one to head this effort because nobody messes with Joe”. It’s one thing to uncover fraud in government programs and agencies, but it’s quite another after rooting it out, to do something about it.

So what happened?

One would think that two card carrying legal types (lawyers) like Obama and Biden it would be a slam dunk.

So what went wrong?

How is it that in 2025 President Trump on his second term announced the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and appointed someone who actually knew how to root out fraud and run it through the Congressional DOGE Committee in order to codify into law the actions required to rectify and stop the wasteful spending and fraud that had been going on in government for a very long time.

It must be noted that the entire DOGE team is comprised of extremely smart computer programmers using the proper software programs to get the job done, and they are all volunteers!

Now that the deep state is being exposed and their money laundering schemes are being outed it is time for the Department of Justice to begin holding these government fraudsters legally accountable for prosecution.

An even bigger question is what has Congress done all this time?

It is time America has a leaner and more efficient government doing what American voters elected them to do instead of doing to the people what has been done time and time again.

Free money isn’t free at all, it’s money taken from the pockets of taxpaying American citizens! – RTM

GIVE IT BACK

You must have heard President Trump say this about the Panama Canal, “We’re going to take it back!”

I heard somewhere that U.S. troops might be going back to Panama, not for an invasion like last time or to pack up and bring back the canal? No but to return as guardians of the canal and the zone around it.

Now French politician Raphael Glucksmann suggests that because Trump’s America no longer expresses the values of the statue, given by France and the US should give it back!

I think that is only fair because after all it’s a couple of hundred years old anyway and it could very easily be dismounted from the pedestal it’s mounted on, placed into one of SpaceX’s very huge rockets and like an ICBM hit the French mainland in possible 5 – 10 minutes (my rough estimate).

What to do about Ellis Island?

Glad you asked, someone could commission a huge golden TRUMP statue with real working elevators to the top section with a snazzy upper class restaurant and to top off this project, Ellis Island could be renamed Trump Island.

That would wrap up another controversy that has been brewing since 2017 – putting Trump on Mount Rushmore. Problem solved.

To seal the deal, President Donald Trump would come out AGAINST the Ellis Island deal and congressional democrats would be compelled to vote FOR IT! – RTM

Party of the People

Based on actions and words it is easy to see how democrats have become disconnected from the ordinary working people they claim to represent. These are not just my words, but why many dyed-in-the-wool lifetime democratic voters are expressing their disapproval of the repetitive and tired tactics of hatred for anything or anyone “Trump”.

What we see on television and on social media are members of congress making spectacles of themselves as they attempt to sing and dance “Trump & Elon” away from the American consciousness and I wonder how that is working out for them?

Across the board Americans don’t want to hear what democrat politicians are against. They want to hear and know what democrat politicians stand for.

All of this political activism might be good for the $40 per hour paid activists, but in the end it amounts to nothing. It doesn’t put beanie-weenies on the table for families across the country.

Democrats have not yet learned what the take aways are from losing the election to Trump. They still talk that Kamala was a good VP and a good candidate and that she might even run again in 2028. They overlook the fact that Kamala wasn’t a good VP or a good candidate with a strong message of hope. Kamala had no message, gave no interviews where she talked one-on-one to the voters of how she was fighting for them.

Nor do democrats see the manner in which the DNC party headquarters made the sudden bait and switch, shutting down the sitting president and substituting the vice president was nothing more than a losing proposition.

So when democrats say they are the party of the working class, why do they gravitate to labor unions instead of the actual labors? Why do they say voters matter, except Trump supporters (they are voters too) and chase away anyone with a differing opinion?

When democrats jump on the women’s rights and pro-abortion bandwagons, they just as eagerly step on the necks of infants in the womb and think nothing of it?

Voters know that nurturing and keeping families safe matter.

Instead of caring about a bloated government full of fraud, democrats rally against everyday Americans who are doing something about stopping government fraud.

Voters want democrats to get on board to support the efforts of DOGE!

Yes democrats talk about the economy, but have let the minority of the party in congress pave the way to shutting down the government because of their hate for Trump. Just look at the way they turned on Chuck Schumer when he voted with republicans to keep the government open. Why are they not working across the aisle to solve the many important issues facing our nation?

If democrats really care about the state of our nation they would be leading the way to make our citizens safe, prosperous and better than ever before, but because that sounds like the republican mantra of Make American Great Again, they are compelled to stand in opposition.

Democrats would stand in the gap for illegal and undocumented alien migrants who have invaded our nation, but wouldn’t cross the street to stand for the very people who voted them into their elected office.

Even as president, Biden claimed he need congress to write legislation in order for him to close the border HE opened wide. Congress failed to do anything except help invite everyone to enter our country without regard to vetting for health or background. It took Trump to verbally order the border closed and follow up with an Executive Order. Problem solved.

As a party, democrats are driving voters away by the hundreds by treating everyone who differs in opinion as the enemy of the state and vilifying those attempting to whittle away the political graft.

Schumer recently said on The View, “House and Senate Democrats are united on one thing, getting Trump.” Voters want to know that that is the “hill” worth dying on.

What is clear, democrats are not fighting for what Americans think is important to them because they keep ignoring what is right in front of their noses.

There are many voices coming out of the Democratic Party, yet not one has risen to the level of leadership to unify the party or the nation.

I fear the end of the Democratic Party is near! – RTM

Righting the Ship of State

During my entire lifetime the state of the union has been off kilter. I have often thought that our bloated and unresponsive government needed downsizing, refocusing or a huge do-over. But where do you start, with Congress who make the laws, the President who enforces the laws, or the Supreme Court that weighs the laws against the U.S. Constitution?

Then where do you go?

According to politicians the nation seems to be their personal piggybank to be spent according to the political winds of the day and since many presidents have come out from the halls of congress with an obsession of making their mark on the direction the nation should go. Members of the Supreme Court should be upcoming constitutional judges with a firm grasp on the Constitution.

In a perfect world the government would work like a fine Swiss watch, spending cuts and taxes would enable US citizens to raise their children in perfect peace and safety.

In a perfect world the USA would be a wonderful place with opportunity for all.

Since the founding of our Constitutional-Republic many politicians have tried to tackle the economy, domestic tranquility and national security issues yet have ultimately failed to make significant and lasting progress.

It’s easy to see we’re not in a perfect world.

What America needed was someone with a love for country and a vision for a better tomorrow as well as the knowhow to identify problem areas, formulate solutions and execute needed changes. That someone had to be an agent of change with the backbone and intestinal fortitude to stand firm against resistance to change while being the driving force bringing about necessary changes. The task would require a dedicated team of likeminded individuals willing to put everything on the line, laying aside personal gain for the good of the nation.

Problem identification was paramount.

What is the condition or state of the union? What are some obvious needed changes? How to prevent the continuation of problem areas, actions or individuals? What is the desired direction needed for a national coarse correction? How to gage the progress needed? What would that look like in real time? How to determine and select the right team and set the boundaries of their individual responsibility in order to accomplish the overall objective?

How to communicate to the general public and members of congress the current state, the desired state and the amount of work required to accomplish the needed changes and to know when to declare mission accomplishment? This is a monumental task with overwhelming possibilities and setbacks due to an organized resistance to change by individuals lacking the overall vision. The final and yet most important element in this process is following and conforming to the will of God. Biblically speaking we are told that it is God who sets up and brings down kings and leaders and we are told to pray for them.

It is the responsibility of government to ensure the safety and security of the American people where everyone is free to dream and live their “American Dream”. What is NOT the responsibility of government is the political polarization and infighting that divides Americans by race, creed, national origin, political distinction or sexual orientation in order to obtain a political “victory”.

Not everyone has that vision of a better America ahead or become the catalyst to affect the change needed.

Everyone can be an agent of change provided they put the interests of America ahead of their own personal or financial interests.

Either you are the solution or the problem? You decide…….. – RTM

Get the Flock Outta Here

Have you ever watched geese flying overhead and wondered where they are headed? Some say they are heading south for the winter, while others say north. What determines where they land and for how long? What about their order in the flock? More importantly have you noticed that one side of the wedge seems to have more birds? Why is that?

The antics of congressional democrats look a lot like a flight of geese.

When congress is in session you would think that they are a well-oiled machine, focused and intent on doing what is best for the American people or at least for the constituents who voted them into office.

Sadly that’s not the case at all. Since the “Iron Lady” of the Democratic Party ceased to be Speaker of the House, the party flounders like a fish out of water. Not only have they lost their message, but a credible speaker to convey to the American people why their concerns, desires and wants are important.

When there is no competent leadership, the flock flays this way and that way. At first Democratic voters fail to realize the obvious, that their elected politicians are not looking out for the interests of their constituents, but have become sidetracked nitpicking the other side. They literally can’t see the forest for the tree in their eyes.

When properly used the principles of Saul Alinsky are very effective in casting doubt on the other side, with or without substantial evidence. When no properly used or held onto for too long they only highlight the deficiencies of those holding on to them. In fact Alinsky warned that a negative pushed too far turns into a positive – for the other side.

It seems that congressional democrats are better suited as TikTok stars than as elected officials representing only their own self-interests – name recognition as being anti-Trump and nothing else. Screaming profanities, dancing as geriatric ninja stars or holier than thou know it alls is certainly their cup of tea. Competent public servants – Not so much!

Voters want to know that their elected officials are looking out for their safety; bringing down higher prices (the economy stupid); and pulling the nation together as one people, under God. Voters want to know that THEY ARE IMPORTANT enough to fight for, not anyone from foreign countries who came into this country illegally. Americans want to know that there are two genders and that life begins at conception and EVERYBODY IS IMPORTANT.

Back to that flock in flight, do you know why one side has more birds? It’s because the very last one is a mamma bird – telling the others to GET THE LEAD OUT – WINTERS COMING! – RTM
