“All that matters is that today, two stood against many. That is what is important! Valor pleases you, Crom; so, grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to hell with you!” – Conan The Barbarian
A bog, a marsh, and a fen go into a bar. The bartender: “Guess I’m swamped.”
He’s doing it. Or, at least he’s trying to.
The more I see Trump in action in this second term, the more I’m glad he didn’t have a contiguous second term. This time, he’s focused. Being shot, I’ve heard, does that to a man. He knows he has a limited number of days, and he has goals and is surrounded by competent people who share his desire for vengeance.
I’d say his timeframe to get stuff done really consists of the next two years. Beyond that, the intervening congressional election will have occurred, and he’ll probably lose one or both houses of congress, which is what usually happens, though with Trump, there is no such thing as “usual”.
But let’s outline at least part of the Swamp:
Above, tantum outlines at least part of the contours of the Swamp. In a bit more detail, only about 2% of the people that work for “the government” work directly for the Federal government. The rest of that 13.4% are state, county, and local government. Are all of them productive? Certainly not. I’ve met several ROAD warriors when dealing with .gov people. ROAD? Retired On Active Duty. They avoid doing work and find places to hide.
Others, however, are doing the things that people simply couldn’t do without, like building and plowing roads, or making and transporting safe drinking water. To be clear, places like Flint and Jackson show how DEI can ruin basic functions and allow the system to be filled with parasites: human parasites.
But even if you neglect those people, the real danger are the 12.8 million non-profit workers that are parasitically leaching off of the government. They are overwhelmingly members of the GloboLeft, and follow the tune of the GloboLeftElite. George Soros has a “Center For Things George Soros Likes” which gets funding and grants to hire people George Soros likes to do things like make foreign government more GloboLeftist so George can make more money.
Never Trumpers like Bill Kristol, below, are leaches on the system. He has his own non-profit foundation, Defending Democracy Together Institute, which got almost $10.5 million in donations. Yup, Bill Kristol gets money from the Swamp, or Deep State, or whatever. I’d bet he’s paid for his time. You can look up nonprofit organizations here (LINK) thanks to datarepublican’s work. The link will take you to the page where Kristol’s grift is shown. I’m thinking Ricky will find some very interesting things here.
12.8 million people in the United States, or almost 7.5% of the workforce of the United States is employed by these leaches. Where do the (Insert Aggrieved Racial Or Sexual Group Here) Women’s Studies or Gender Studies or (Insert Aggrieved Racial Or Sexual Group Here) majors get jobs? Well, Starbucks®. But if their daddy is connected, they get on at places like Defending Democracy Together where they have the opportunity to launder funds back to places the GloboLeftistElite want them to go.
If you’re not mad yet, you’re not paying attention.
What kind of coffee is served by a sad barista? A depresso.
Tens of billions of dollars are given to the major aid groups to make the United States more attractive to illegal and legal aliens. Those aliens in turn consume (generally, there are exceptions) much, much more in services than they provide. A strawberry picker working off the books contributes next to nothing, but it costs tens of thousands in welfare to feed his family, and his children consume tens of thousands of dollars in education funding. I could go on, but they are a net economic and cultural drag.
And we’re paying for it. What money? I’d say our tax money, but we all know that’s a joke. We’re printing money and inflating our dollar to nothing to import people who don’t want to be a part of our country. Look at the recent shut down of the 101 in Los Angeles to protest ICE raids: of the hundreds of flags, most were Mexican. I believe in all the pictures I saw exactly one American flag.
One American flag, among hundreds.
And your currency is being made worthless to import even more people who feel little to no allegiance to this country and culture.
Trump and DOGE appear to be on this, though. They’ve fired all the top people at the USAID offices. When DOGE team members appeared wanting to gain access to the offices, they were not admitted. USAID will soon find that the Executive Branch can shut them down.
I expect a lot of this funding to be exposed. Trump was unprepared for the Swamp (or Deep State, if you prefer) his first term. Not now. He’s gutting them, and soon enough we might see 5% of workforce, the pampered GloboLeft, wondering how they’re going to pay for their next fancy coffee.
Maybe they’ll get an employee discount?
Nah, we probably don’t need that many baristas. We want, however, to get them out of government, cut their funding, and bathe in the ashes of their lives.
But I want to say:
This. This is what I voted for. This is what I’ve always been voting for.
To crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and to hear the lamentation of their women!
