Campaign Promises vs Economic Reality Throughout the campaign, Trump painted a picture of economic revival. He promised to bring back manufacturing, secure American jobs, and cut wasteful government spending. Since I wasn’t going to vote for him anyway, I didn’t pay much attention at first. But as the election neared, three key themes kept surfacing:…
The Deficit Is a Serious Problem—But Tax Cuts Are Making It Worse The national debt and budget deficit are serious issues. There’s no debate about that. Deficits should be managed responsibly, ensuring the country remains financially stable while still investing in what drives long-term economic growth. But the approach we’ve seen repeated for decades—cutting taxes…
A new elite ruling class isn’t fighting over capitalism or socialism—they’re replacing both. Techno-feudalism is taking hold, and Musk is spearheading the transition to an AI-driven regime where power belongs to those who control the algorithms. A year ago, I would have dismissed this as a conspiracy theory—the ramblings of a madman, a dystopian fantasy…
A Growing Public Health Crisis, Met with Empty Promises The United States is facing a growing public health crisis, particularly for children and young people. While not an overnight emergency, long-term trends paint a troubling picture: declining life expectancy, rising chronic disease rates, and a mental health crisis that shows no signs of slowing. These…
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was created to do exactly what its name suggests—make government operations leaner, smarter, and more cost-effective. From the moment it was announced, the agency positioned itself as a watchdog for waste, cutting unnecessary spending and streamlining bureaucracy. Officials have repeatedly claimed $55 billion in cuts, a figure presented as…
A Nation Divided by Headlines America isn’t just politically fractured—it’s informationally fractured. In general, the media ecosystem, whether legacy, mainstream, or conservative, prioritizes outrage over facts, clicks over context, and fear over solutions. Instead of providing a shared foundation for public debate, media coverage reinforces division, shaping entirely different versions of reality depending on where…
At the end of this last week, we’ve all seen significant examples of how the Musk/Trump administration’s approach prioritizes speed over stability, disruption over expertise, and political convenience over institutional integrity. Instead of a steady hand managing critical government functions, decisions are being made with a privately held startup tech mentality—where rushing forward without understanding…
Update: The White House Escalates Its Attack on the Associated Press (February 14, 2025) What began as a single reporter being barred from an event has now escalated into a full-scale ban. The White House has indefinitely revoked the Associated Press’ access to presidential events, including Oval Office briefings and Air Force One travel, over…
Note – this was initially a post on Facebook, copied and reformatted to this website. On Sunday, February 9, 2025, three of the most powerful figures in the country—Vice President JD Vance, billionaire Elon Musk, and President Donald Trump—condemned a federal judge’s decision to block the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Treasury Department…
Note – this was initially a post on Facebook, copied and reformatted to this website. The dismantling of USAID isn’t about fraud. It’s not about waste. And it’s certainly not about making government more efficient. Instead, it’s a test case for a new era of governance—one where facts are optional, reality is shaped by cherry-picked…
