I would like to see Trump have the U.S. withdraw from the WHO, as he did in early 2020. Many people at the time were scratching their heads as to why he would do that at the beginning of Covid, but in retrospect Trump was doing the correct thing.
Stop classifying drug addicts as disabled. This makes them eligible for subsidized senior citizen housing, causing chaos. This is the case in inner city Baltimore, and presumably elsewhere.
DEI is entrenched in the DoD; it's got to go! As a 30 year retired Air Force veteran and a current Air Force federal employee, I no longer recognize the service I grew up with.
You are assuming that Trump will have good support from the Republicans in Congress, but a bunch of them are part of the swamp and may not go along with his plans.
Go back to enforcing civil rights violations against male American Caucasian employees. Obama and his minions didn’t think these people HAD any civil rights… they can only be an oppressor class, which is leftist horseshit. Oracle was about to be severely punished but the local Congresscritter (an extreme left wing Democrat who was a “Justice Democrat” at the same time as AOC) and an unholy collection of racists got the punishment suspended.
As a supplemental to making things right for service members who have suffered due to their COVID vax mandates, I think the government should acknowledge the possibility of undiagnosed injury to current service members. There should be screening of all service members for myocarditis. Injured service members should receive honorable discharge and compensation. This is a readiness issue.
Also, fast track the investigation into omicron, which some say was actually the immediate predecessor of COVID-19 and was in circulation a year or two before the COVID-19 A variant (the original). One of the big mysteries was the wild difference in infection and death rates between countries. If omicron was an earlier family, billions of people had at least some exposure to it and developed natural immunity, which crossed over into natural resistance to COVID-19. This is standard virology, not some crackpot theory. To some degree, omicron could be like cowpox and COVID-19 could be like smallpox.
Besides the absurdity of creating more bureaucracy to shrink bureaucracy, most of the complexity of existing bureaucracy is legislatively fixed, or at least legislatively protected from outside meddling. The DOGE won't be able to touch any of that without having so much power that it itself will become the most dangerous bureaucracy. Don't think that's ok because the "right people" are in charge; Conquest's Law still applies.
The key to reigning in bureaucracy is legislatively neutering it, and it's not clear that that's the plan right now. MAYBE the DOGE will be doing investigative work that precedes legislative efforts, but I haven't seen evidence of that yet.
It has to be tried. The alternative of living with a bloated, out-of-control, unelected bureaucracy is untenable. It's a monster that is destroying the country.
At the very least, it may shame Congress into returning to doing it's job. The current method of lobbyists writing the laws for their Congressional frontmen, then sending those laws to a bunch of Dilberts in the Deep State for interpretation is silly.
An agency like DOGE exposing the waste, fraud and sheer ridiculousness of what Congress has allowed may be enough so shame the unshameable.
I don't expect these things to happen. Trump warped the mRNA vaccines to market and spent tons and tons of tax dollars on that. He marched in lockstep with all of the covid crazies. He is also talking about having a digital currency, which should be completely off the table and banned. Creating a new office of government efficiency seems....inefficient.
I have no complaints about an effort to rush developments of vaccines at a time when it was politically unfeasible to stop seriously harming society without placating the crazies with a vaccine. For all its warts, Warp Speed actually meaningfully pursued solving the problem, whereas Democrats would have had us locked down and printing money forever.
The problem wasn't the development of the vaccine, the problem was the rollout. Making it compulsory, lying about its effectiveness and side effects - all of this is where things went off the rails. And this was Biden-era stuff.
Sure, it's disappointing that the vaccine doesn't work better or have fewer side effects, but you can't reasonably know about those things in advance. Trump did the most sensible thing, and Democrats followed up with their characteristic reverse-Midas touch.
You mean the efficiency office? If it is a two year assignment, don't be surprised if it would be renewed. Keep in mind that Trump didn't drain the swamp in his first term, he increased the size of government. Now, he's certainly better than the alternative. But the lesser of two evils is still...evil.
Very true that anything can change, but for now based on what I’ve read the assignment is supposed to be wrapped up by July 2026. Time will tell I guess.
ALL of Trumps Cabinet picks will go thru…the feckless GOP know they will be primaried if they resist…and then there’s the recess appointments deal.
First 90 days the DC BLOB will be scrambling like rats 🐀 then the corrupt fake news will fade..then the real rebuilding begins..ELON and Vivek will be key…it’s the end for the corrupt uniparty global killers…yea🥳

Not just justice for troops harmed by the vax. But justice for every American harmed by it or unemployed for refusing to take it.
What a joyous refreshing read the substack columns are these days!! Lots of optimism and positive happenings!!

End all funding of the UN and all its agencies. End all funding of all NGOs. End the NPR. Stop funds to the Palestinians and all other terrorists.

-Stopping having our cars spy on us.
-Stop giving government and ngo’s access to our phone conversations, text messages and emails.
-Stop collecting credit card and banking data on our purchases, especially gun purchases.

Making sure RFK gets appointed is going to be Priority One.

The DOGE is hopeless.

There's a new set of deputies in town. Makes ALL the difference.

I’d like to recommend the work of Sasha Latypova https://open.substack.com/pub/sashalatypova?r=62k4n&utm_medium=ios
and the book “Dissolving Illusions”.
Vaccines have never worked and have always been poison.
It’s a two year assignment so not permanent.

Woke is Civil Rights 2020s
That’s it.
It’s just a new Bud Light Bottle same vintage.
