@FTL_Bonnie @FreeTalkLive I swirled into the nice lady’s window like an F4 in Oklahoma, insulting the incompetence of every office in City Hall I’d had to deal with when I demanded my day in court. They dropped all of it - good result but I really wanted my court date.

We did not abolish the FBI after
COINTELPRO
They murdered Vicky Weaver
They murdered the Branch Davidians
They covered up OKC
They missed Robert Hanssen, Aldrich Ames
They framed Richard Jewell
They framed Wen Ho Lee
They framed Brandon Mayfield
They protected Whitey Bulger
They protected Jeffrey Epstein
They failed to catch the Unabomber
They helped ATF run guns to CIA drug cartels in Mexico
They protected Larry Nasser
Their corrupt crime labs sent untold thousands of innocents to prison
They murdered Levoy Finicum
They entrapped hundreds of Muslims, lefties and rightwingers into bogus terrorism plots
They failed to prevent WTC '93, 9/11, Ft. Hood, Little Rock, Boston, San Bernardino, Orlando, Pensacola, Corpus Christie, New Orleans and other actual terrorist plots
They helped CIA frame Trump for treason with Russia and attempt to depose him
They covered up the facts in the Biden laptop through Trump's impeachment
They illegally surveilled Catholic Churches
They helped mercilessly persecute the J6 defendants
They censored Americans who told the truth about the regime and its crimes

They lie about EVERYTHING.

And now for almost two entire days they completely failed to contribute to the capture of Charlie Kirk's assassin in any way. They didn't even have his name.

The president says that he was turned in by a family member.

America is better off without the FBI.

I'm concerned that many people do not understand the historical and institutional context in which the DOGE labor reforms are unfolding. They look at this as if these are some random, chaotic, arbitrary, strange, and even cruel measures to impose on a devoted civil service.

The reality is very different, and I'm not even sure that Elon entirely understands this. For more than a century, even dating back to 1883, the civil service has grown and grown without check from the elected branch, either the presidency or the legislature . The bureaucracies have ballooned from a few to 450 or so. The bloat and absurdities have grown too.

Get this: no one has ever known what to do about it. Not Coolidge, not Hoover, not Nixon, not Reagan, not Clinton, no one. No president has been able to crack this nut. The only reforms ever to have made it through are those that make the administrative state bigger, never smaller.

Countless cabinet secretaries have come and gone, always with the intention of making a change but leaving saddened, demoralized, outwitted, outgunned, and ultimately devoured.

No president has seriously taken on this problem because they simply did not know how. The unions are powerful, the intimidation from the deep institutional knowledge is overwhelming, the fear of the media as been powerful, and every single president comes to power vaguely feeling threatened by the intelligence agencies. The industries that have captured every single agency were also far too powerful to unseat or control.

This combination of institutional inertia has blocked serious reform for a full century. No one has dared. No one has even had a theory or strategy about what to do about this problem. It had become so terrible that most people in politics have simply surrendered, like homeowners who know there are rats in the basement and bats in the attic but long ago gave up trying to fix the issue.

All this time, the American people have felt themselves ever more oppressed, weighed upon, taxed and regulated, spied upon, brow beaten, and otherwise overwhelmed. Voting never made any difference because the politicians no longer controlled the system. The bureaucracies ruled all.

The Biden years underscored the point. We didn't even need a conscious and present executive. We only needed a figurehead to pretend to be president, just like the Soviet premiers in the old days. The institutions ran everything and the people controlled nothing.

How to deal with this? Trump alone figured it out in his last term: he simply took charge of the agencies in a limited way. There were screams of horror and plots galore. They performed a long stream of clever schemes to destroy him and show him who is boss, which is not the democratically elected president but the forces behind the scenes.

The job of the president, goes the message from all the insiders, is to PRETEND to be in charge but not actually do anything meaningful. Shut up, mug up, obey, and disturb nothing, let the administrative state do its thing without oversight or disruption, and then you will get your honorary library and bestselling autobiography and go down in history as great.

Trump refused the deal and look what happened.

Four years have gone by and Trump is back again, this time with a determination to slay this beast, one that he knows all-to-well. The efforts of DOGE and MAHA and MAGA are epic in scope, breaking a century of pathetic acquiescence toward the deep, middle, and shallow states, at last using moral courage to confront the problem head on, come what may.

They are profoundly aware that they MUST act fast and with some degree of ferocity, even recklessness, else we will default back to the status quo of leaders who pretend to be in charge while the embedded system runs things behind the scenes.

It has been this way for TOO LONG. The voters this time have demanded change, and mustered the faith to believe that change is possible. This is precisely what DOGE is attempting, to make good on a promise, a promise that for once the voters actually believed was credible.

They simply must succeed. There might never be another chance. The way of failure is the path everyone knows the US was on, toward economic stagnation, political scolerosis, and eventual irrelevance in the unfolding of the next stage of social evolution.

@FTL_Bonnie We call that “going full Mouseketeer”

[Chris Rietmann ⚡ @crietmann]

I’ve told 100s of college students about Ross Ulbricht and injustice of his sentencing. I always mention Trump’s promise of commutation and end with “but he is a politician so take that with a grain of salt”.

I hope Trump does the right thing after breaking his Day One promise.

The Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress . . .  

Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk . . . think about it .  . . nothing’s impossible. (not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, aka ‘uniparty,’ lose their ever-lovin’ minds)

@FTL_Bonnie I have a finite amount of FE tolerance available until I recharge to my normal flat level. As long as I can get them to answer my questions like " so you have followers all around the globe?" with an enthusiastic "Yes!" I'll keep taking them lol

Using AI to replace every mention of "Democracy" with "Bureaucracy"

Maybe it's just me, but my brain filters it like this automatically.

How about yours?

[Ron Paul @RonPaul]

The gravest economic challenges we are facing can be summed up in two points:
1) The decreasing purchasing power of the dollar, which hurts the poor and the middle class the most.
2) The desperate need for an audit of the Federal Reserve followed by strict limits on the Fed’s ability to monetize debt in secrecy. Government debt should be un-affordable.
We also must guard against those who would use class warfare to divide us to the benefit of the elites.
