Please don't audit that man behind the curtain.

OK. I admit that it has been over fifty years since I graduated high school, but as far as I remember there are only three co-equal branches of government; the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. President Trump, head of the Executive Branch has appointed Elon Musk to lead a Department of Government Efficiency.

Mr. Musk jumped right into the task as soon as the President took office. We all have heard some of the things our tax dollars have been spent on. Maybe we were shocked at where that money went, but we were not surprised at how much. With the deficit being what it is, why are we spending money on programs that not only are of no benefit to the United States, but are wastes of money as well?

One can't help but think that those in government don't really support those programs but rather that they support the, shall we say, "service charges" paid to those in government who facilitate those payments for those programs. And those in government are not happy that a large source of revenue for them has been discovered.

Nobody voted for Elon Musk. We are, however, expected to bow down to unelected bureaucrats anonymously running "Independent Agencies."

Thinking back to my school days, I cannot -- try as I may -- recall any mention of a fourth branch of government in the Constitution, that branch being "Independent Agencies." I do remember, however, Paul Harvey reporting in the 1980's that officials in the State Department saw no reason to act on President Reagan's policies because he was not going to be President after a few years anyway.

The government needs to be brought under control. We need it to be answerable to the citizens. We cannot have a government that feels it can do whatever it wants with no consequences.

Nor can we afford it.

 

 

The connection between certain apples and their trees is not important.

After I married my wife, a Canadian citizen, we considered it more practical for me to move north than for my wife to move south. I never intended to nor considered  renouncing my American citizenship. I still considered myself to be a proud American. When I had to renew my Canadian Permanent Resident Visa I had to go in for an interview. The person I talked to said that the US did allow dual citizenships. (In some situations that was true, but not in mine.)

To check out my options, I researched the subject. I found an interesting tidbit: if I became a citizen of another country, my adult son would not be able to get any kind of security clearance from the United States government.

I have seen a number of online discussions about the many felonies committed by Hunter Biden and, while we hear about how he is under investigation, nothing of significance has happened. Hunter Biden has not been subject to a search warrant and had thirty armed FBI agents spend hours going through his home.

"Hunter Biden is not and nor ever will be President." Yeah? And your point is?

I have never been offered a position on the board of a foreign company in an industry I know nothing about that would pay me tons of money.  I acknowledge that such an offer may have been lost in the mail, but I am guessing that no such offer was ever sent. I have not received a million dollars or so from the wife of a Russian official. I have not received millions of dollars from Chinese companies. However, I can name someone who has.

Don't forget about Hunter's connection with and the ten per cent for  "the Big Guy."

But Hunter Biden is not nor ever will be President. That may be true, but that does not mean that he is not a conduit to influence someone when he was Vice President and is now President. It does not erase the video of Joe Biden bragging how he blackmailed the Ukraine government into firing a prosecutor who was looking into the business dealing of the company that handsomely paid his son. There is a definite connection whether the left wants to acknowledge it or not.

Donald Trump is the bad guy, though. He was seen taking boxes out of the White House. Because of that the FBI raids his home with a warrant allowing them to take any piece of paper dated anywhere from January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021.

The Attorney General of the United States, Merrick Garland, has said that he will not "stand by silently" and allow people to question the integrity of the FBI. What are you saying, Mr. Garland? The beatings will continue until morale improves? You have already suggested that  people who question school boards are domestic terrorists. It seems that anyone who has ever said the Pledge of Allegiance is considered a threat to national security. Maybe if the alphabet agencies did not act like secret police for the ruling class there would not be this criticism.

Vote this November. Get involved. We must shine spotlights under every rock these people may crawl under. Let the light of day be the antiseptic that cleanses the nation.
