Government Does Not Work

By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

This is true literally and figuratively.[2] Anyone who has worked in or with government at any level will confirm this fact, if they are honest. From "Fort Fumble"—which is how The Pentagon was referred to affectionately when I worked there—to a county in California where the pothole-plagued roads are more dangerous than those in third-world countries[3], the tell-tale signs are everywhere.

A true American hero, Elon Musk—who saved our astronauts from almost certain death—is the brains behind DOGE, which has exposed massive waste and wrongdoing. For doing this, his life has been threatened; his Tesla cars and dealerships have been attacked; and he has been forced to retreat from exposing wrongdoing.[4]

We Americans live in a country that has been deteriorating. Elections have been rigged, and this has consequences. A vast numbers of Americans have said "enough is enough," and voted out their Democrat "masters" in the last election. But power and money are addictive, with power being the most addictive of the two.

Does the average American have any power at all? Not until Donald Trump came along, which is why his MAGA movement is a threat to the "entrenched" who have ruled America. Attempts have been made on his life already; and he is implementing his policies quickly, because a four-year term of office passes in the blink of an eye.

How does one turn around the "Titanic" and prevent it from hitting the iceberg and sinking? Therein lies the task for Trump, Musk and the MAGA faithful, who have become empowered. Their haters—including the corrupt power-hungry judiciary[5]—are determined to stop them. These evil doers gave us "Comatose" Joe Biden, Willie Brown's former ho Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi and legions of others like them.
