MAGA hoots and hollers have been bouncing across the country since Nov. 5, Jan, 6, and especially Jan. 20th when DJT was sworn in for Trump 2.0. Simultaneously, those dates coincided with the spread and intensification TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). Once Pres. Trump’s appointed Special Government Employee, Elon Musk, and his DOGE Boys began uncovering massive waste, fraud, and corruption long hidden but endemic to the Federal government at virtually all levels, agencies, and departments, “all Hell broke loose” – just not the kind Trump has promised Hamas and Houthis.
With Trump’s “maga”-aggressive plans unleashed, it became clear this administration would be nothing like Trump’s first naïve, scandal-hobbled rodeo, Trump 1.0.
As EOs went full auto from the Oval, thousands of unnecessary (and no-show) Federal “employees” who found themselves out of a cushy “forever” job, went ballistic. Soon, government employee unions leaped into action, returning fire with over 100 judge-shopped TRO wishes. No surprise. Clinton, Obama, and Biden loyal judges accommodated the plaintiff’s wishes. With the MSM over its Election Day shock and passed its nanosecond of introspective examination of Objective Reporting, it reverted to its biased Fake News addiction and anti-Trump aggravation. Despite a few collateral “field casualties” (Acosta, Reid, Lemon), all the usual outlets are back to SOP.
Most filings are still being adjudicated, but the Orange Tornedo remains at Level 5 mode while the Courts and lawyers dither. Still. the Rule of Law has scored the most W’s for Team Trump.
So far.
This spawned mirth and merriment among the MAGA Hats! “Huzzah! Huzzah! Reason and Justice have been restored! Power has returned to The People! America will be great again now that the bat-sh*t crazy progressive, liberals and Democratic Party have been vanquished! They have no message! They have no principles! They support nothing positive for Americans or the human race! They are the true extremists! This is the “existential threat”: the Party destroying Democracy!”
Cogent Democrat response? Crickets. Equivocation. “If only” excuses. In-fighting. Political cannibalism. Zero leadership with a zero message.
Time for a sing-a-long! “Ding Dong - The Dems are Dead! Which old Dems? The wicked Dems! Ding Dong the wicked Dems are dead…!
Not so fast…MAGA memories are critically short. The euphoria of the Trump victory, the DOGE revelations, and the continued unveiling of issues contradicting Conservative and Constitutional values are blinding many to the light of fact and history.
Fact: Democrats have no principles.
Early example: In 2004, Kerry vs. Bush - Democrats told Kerry to campaign against gay marriage. What are Democrats endorsing today? The Dem’s 2004 stand on gay marriage wasn’t a principle, it was an opportunity to regain power with a failed strategy playing on the emotion and ignorance of Democrat voters. Imagine if Harris-Waltz campaigned on this “Democrat principle”.
Dems don’t “care” about any single group; only whatever it takes to win. The trophy is Power, and with power comes Control; Control over the government, the country, the states, and you.
Democrats change “values” in the moment because they hate Trump/Musk more than any principle they allegedly supported.
With principles like these, who needs reason, compromise, principles, or even a Constitution?
Despite the false outrage, nonsensical sound bites, and documented hypocrisy, the “death of the Dems” is temporary at best. Their resurrection will be more dreadful than anything we've seen.
Recalling guest Don Williams’ comments on our last podcast: Democrats, liberals, and progressives “need to be called out for what they are: wicked.”
A glance at current news provides ample proof. The catacombs of lies, deceit, skullduggery, and complicity used for power and enrichment of the elected Elite and their myrmidons are the embodiment of evil. Their silence and decades of dedication to abortion, especially late-term abortion, human trafficking of women and children for sex, and child labor prove them wicked.
And they’re not going away. Their success has gone on too long, been too successful, and too addictive to surrender because of a one-off election loss. The Democratic Party has been around for a long time. They’re smart. And they fight dirty.
Republicans and Conservatives have yet to take seriously the political nature of Democrats: Winning Power isn’t everything; it’s the only thing. How it is achieved is irrelevant and immaterial to the ultimate goal. Winning is not subject to rules or limits or ethics.
As scribbled previously: Conservatives treat Politics the way Victorians treated sex. It was not for public discussion or exhibition. It was accepted and understood as a necessity to sustain the human race. Prudish pragmatism was acceptable, not displayed. Similarly, politics was a ‘necessary evil’ for maintaining order and defense of the homeland.
Not so with Liberals. Politics remains a full-contact sport with Power as the ultimate trophy. To that end, Liberals will lie, cheat, and steal. Given the opportunity, they will riot, destroy, beat, and kill you. Then dig you up, shoot you again, and bury you. Then go have a beer with their friends.
Consider the current burning and vandalizing of Teslas, dealerships, and doxing owners. This is the nature of Democrats, the deranged “politics” of unhinged evil. Just as psychotic are the pundits and “entertainers” who equate these actions to the boycott of Bud Lite, failing to note no Budweiser breweries or convenience stores were burned in protest. Disagreeing individuals simply bought something else. That logic, common sense, and civility are lost on what passes for today’s “Democratic mind”.
Yes, every MAGA Hat is thrilled that Power has been restored to the People. However, the current level of derangement along with the latest version of Democrat-inspired Lawfare, may be a Cloward-Piven-type smokescreen for Liberals concocting their next move. The level of fear, hatred, and scorn coming from the Left is meant to show they are intent to return bigger, worse, and more frightening than any other time. Maybe Obama, the acknowledged “mastermind” behind Biden, the Waking Sarcophagus, and Harris, the well-marinated Word Salad Maker will take an encore. Barry hit the AstroTurf hard when Nov 5th didn’t turn out as planned (and forecast). His absence from the MSM spotlight is one confirmation he’s pissed. Big time. It also strongly suggests, with nothing else to do with his millions, mansions, and Michelle, he’ll be back (a la Ahnold).
The key to preventing this is remembering the changes Trump has initiated by Executive Order will only last as long as his term in office. If they are not codified into law pronto, as soon as Democrats win some upcoming election, the Good that has been accomplished will disappear like the writing on a Magic Slate. Or a Democrat's principles.
Thanks for reading this far.

I'm so used to rooting for gridlock that I'm not sure what to make of having a team to cheer for, I'm talking about DOGE. Trump's still a mixed bag, with DOGE however, it's all upside. Although I'm once again reminded that we never have enough liberty minded lawyers and judges to go around.
I'm also reminded of how it's human nature to hate turncoats.
You can hate someone who's not on your team, but never as much as someone who WAS on your team. I suspect that's actually why they hate Elon so much, same for Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy, maybe even Trump to some extent. Tim Pool and Joe Rogan fall into the same category. I've lost track of how many times Tim Pool has been swatted.
I ended up face down on the pavement in Fairbanks AK with AR's pointed at my head, because of a false police report. I played two gigs that night and was handcuffed to a bench until noon the next day. The cops never did give our friend his pistol back, only reason I wasn't armed was because I'd just flown in and my luggage got sidetracked. (Only time I've ever been glad to have that happen.)
I think that swatting shit should be treated like attempted murder under the law.
Well…Shit.
