Purpose
Trump isn’t radical. He’s just radically changing our country back to normal.

I never heard what Punxsutawney Phil saw on last Groundhog Day, but I saw Woodland Crocus last week and Daffodil shoots pushing up through the mulch, so spring must be close. I know it’s early February and winter is not done, but these early signs fill me with anticipation and the hope of spring.
Daffodils trigger in my thoughts William Wordsworth’s famous poem of the same name. Even now a spring “crowd” of yellow “flashes upon my inward eye” (Google the poem and enjoy).
I read that January was the coldest month we’ve had in a decade, so I am more than ready for spring and the special green of new growth immortalized in Robert Frost’s beautiful poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” Take a moment and treat yourself. Google both of these poems and think of spring!
It is human nature for people to take things for granted, even the return of spring. Perhaps conjuring spring might help. We also resist change, especially as we get older. The pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that everything changes (a nuanced translation). However, people are “more disposed to suffer” than to rise up and “abolish” government, even those governments that are destructive of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” (Declaration of Independence).
We are definitely in need of change in our government. However, we are witnessing the resistance to change as we watch Democrats like “Mad” Maxine Waters rage against the DOGE Boys and the stalwart security agent standing guard at the Department of Education. Meanwhile, Democrat dinosaur Chuck Schumer screams about everything Trumpian while waving a Corona beer and an avocado as he explains guacamole. Even progressive Jon Stewart was embarrassed by the feckless Democrat fossil.
And don’t think Democrats have reserves on their bench. Kamala is a proven loser. Pocahontas is a fraud. After the California Fire mismanagement, Gavin Newsom is a bust. Nor would I let bartender AOC open my beer.
It is stunning that the Democrats are on the wrong side of every issue, especially those issues Americans care about. Examples include the deportation of criminal illegals, the open border, DEI, trans operations for kids or trans men in women’s sports and bathrooms. The Democrats have become the anti-common sense and anti-government reform party. It is stunning to watch an entire political party disintegrate.
Obama once said “Elections have consequences” and “I have a pen and a phone” to govern without legislation. So does President Trump. Perhaps Obama should hold a seminar to explain reality to those who still call themselves Democrats, but who are actually progressive “corrupt-o-crats.”
Maybe the Democrats and the unelected Washington bureaucrats took their USAID gravy train for granted. And like a child whose toy has been taken away, all they can do is throw exhibitionist tantrums and curse. And of course, Democrats are returning to their lawfare gambits to hinder the duly elected president’s lawful executive orders and actions. Ultimately, the Supreme Court will have to settle whether the president or some federal judge is the leader of the country.
Amazingly, some Dems are even threatening to shut down their precious government to protest President Trump and the DOGE Boys. What kind of fool would oppose an audit of the federal government or side with Washington, D.C., bureaucrats over We The People of Main Street? I watched some of the ridiculously partisan DOGE subcommittee hearings, but I did learn from expert testimony that the federal government accepts a 20% fraud rate, whereas private businesses hold fraud to 3% or go out of business! The government doesn’t go out of business and gets to just print more money, producing more inflammation and deflating the value of the dollars in your pocket.
Democrats rant that Elon Musk and his DOGE team are not elected officials and therefore can’t be trusted to audit federal agencies. Only the president and vice president are elected in the executive branch. Anthony Fauci wasn’t an elected official and was in charge of hundreds of millions of dollars and authorized $40 million in funding for the Wuhan lab to do gain-of-function research. The mismanaged Chinese lab leaked the modified Covid virus to escape and kill millions. Sure seems like an outside auditor needs to review everything in Washington. Incidentally, Harry Hopkins was an unelected “informal advisor” to FDR during the Depression and actually lived in the White House for some time. Elon Musk is the audit advisor to President Trump and was given such authority by our country’s CEO.
The Dems now have a Hobson’s choice: defend the indefensible USAID and the status quo in Washington or lose their USAID gravy train and power. Now you see why Dems are going to court. Follow the money, the root of Washington power. The Democrats are in a crisis because the “forever government is being uprooted” (Buck Sexton). The status quo with waste, fraud and abuse is the modus operandi for Washington Democrats.
Every reputable business does audits, except our government. No wait, the Pentagon has audits but has failed the last seven. I guess this means the Pentagon can’t explain where the money or procurements went. Of the armed services, I read that the Marines passed their last audit. The new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has welcomed a DOGE audit of the Pentagon.
In a fraud situation, there are three categories: victims, investigators and perps. Americans are the victims, DOGE is the investigator and you can see why the Dems are in a panic (Greg Gutfeld).
The high energy DOGE whiz kids with their investigative computer algorithms are the future, not Mad Maxine or fossils like Schumer, McConnell or obstructionist Democrats.
I’m not the future. I look at my grandkids and see the future. Someday, my days will be done, but not yet. So, like President Trump, my purpose is to “fight, fight, fight” for my grandkid’s future and our country.
