No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.

Jesus Christ Luke 7:16-17

One of the hardest things about writing occasionally instead of writing daily is that the Trump Administration moves at the speed of the Flash remembering that he forgot to buy his wife a anniversary gift 3 seconds before she opens the door to the house.

There has just been so many things going on so quickly and so decisively that you simply can’t keep up. If this was still a daily blog with multiple writers it would be a task, but now, what do you cover, what do you talk about?

  • Do you talk about the trade deals with Japan where Trump has apparently landed a trillion dollar deal for the US after one meeting?
  • Do you talk about the various Middle East states suddenly doing an about face on Gaza rebuilding etc after Trump talks about clearing out the Palestinians and the US taking over.
  • Do you talk about the 1000’s of federal workers who suddenly find them having to justify their jobs?
  • Do you talk about the Kennedy Center suddenly run directly by Trump and no longer hosting Drag shows?
  • Do you talk about Delaware once the state of choice for incorporation now having business’ flee and viola 15% of their base revenue goes up in smoke thanks to a liberal judge going after Musk?
  • Do you talk about dog and pony shows where people like Maxine Waters try to stage a news story and end up being revealed as the joke that they are?
  • Do you talk the Coast Guard cracking down o the beaches at San Diego and Pam Bondi cutting federal funds to sanctuary cities?
  • Do you talk the billions of federal dollars being releveled as a giant slush fund for the left going to everything from Black Lives Matter to the press whitewashing it?
  • Do you cover the NCAA dumping Transgenderism while places like Minnesota and California double down?

Well if I had to pick one thing I guess I’d pick something like this:

All of this has been going on for a very long time and a lot of people knew this was going on but pretended it didn’t in the same way that people in David’s court knew what was going on with Bathsheba the wife of Uriah the Hittite when Nathan told David.

Why have you spurned the LORD and done evil in his sight? You have cut down Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you took his wife as your own, and him you killed with the sword of the Ammonites.

Now, therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah to be your wife.’

Thus says the LORD: ‘I will bring evil upon you out of your own house. I will take your wives while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor. He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight.

You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'”

2 Samuel 12:9-12

For a long time these things were kept secret but now the graft that has been going on is revealed to the entire world and no amount of ignoring it by the MSM can stand when podcasters are discussing it openly with millions.

Put simply we are seeing our government in the light of truth and there are those who can’t stand it.

It’s going to be an amazing four years and my advice to the Trump administration is to stay on offense or as General Colt in Kelly’s Heroes said: attack Attack ATTACK!

Of course from what I’ve seen they don’t need my advice, expect that sooner or later they have to get to voter ID because until the elections are clean any budget that is clean up is only temporary.

The “Untouchables” Administration Botched Raids, Apples off the Tree Everybody Knows Where the Booze is and Death Threats vs Doge

The Untouchables 1987
  • Malone: If you walk through this door now, you’re walking into a world of trouble. And there’s no turning back. You understand?
  • Ness: Yes I do.
The Untouchables 1987

If I have to think about what this administration reminds me of the most I have to say it’s the movie The Untouchables (1987) Starring Kevin Costner as Elliot Ness, Sean Connery as officer Jim Malone and Robert Di Niro as Al Capone.

I think this is a good analogy because what’s basically happened to the US is that the Chicago way came in with Obama with Chicago corruption and Trump came in the first time and did what he could but was stymied by the deep state which benefited from the corruption. This is reminiscent of the first failed liquor raid when Elliot Ness is made a fool of.

Ness is defeated and lost until he teams up with the Malone (Connery) the street smart detective who tells him that you can’t take prisoners if you’re going to fight Capone.

This is the Trump that has Elon Musk on his side the great technology and business guru who has teamed up with him.

Now the latest news is that Musk has gone after USAID and that he’s brought in a bunch of teenage computer genius’. Why? Because these kids are not dependent on the deep state or reached a point where they would be tempted to leach off the government. Or as Connery said just before this clip: “If you’re afraid of getting a rotten apple, don’t go to the barrel. Get it off the tree.”

And that sounds an awful lot like this:

For this Musk is unapologetic:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1886458513771377099

“Time to confess: Media reports saying that @DOGE has some of world’s best software engineers are in fact true.”

And like Capone the left is threatening violence against these Untouchables

https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1886453186250125702

” “”Hunt them down” Leftists on @bluesky and other social media sites are mobilizing threats of violence against the @DOGE team staff and their families as revenge against @elonmusk and the Trump administration.” “

And the discovery of Billions in waste is pretty much the liqueur raid:

Apparently everybody knew that USAID was a slush fund for pols and lefty NGO’s but nobody was willing to take on the Deep State.

Till now.

Five Trump Thoughts Under the Fedora: The First Big Test, Orders Up, Learning Nothing , The Missing Meme, A slight Bow

The Collision of a flight with a military helicopter over the Potomac is the first real big test for the Trump administration.

This is something that has to be handled wisely, Trump needs to be presidential while at the same time highlighting the importance of competence vs DEI when dealing with important life and death jobs.

Of course the press spin has helped him as it again seems to be titled toward amplifying the loudest and most hysterical “Blame Trump” declarations.

I suspect Trump’s instincts will prove wiser than the press’ but time will tell if I’m right or not.

While Trump executive actions have been swift and decisive and dizzying there is one thing that needs to be remembered.

All of these actions that Donald Trump has taken and he has taken many rather popular acts are completely reversible because they are by executive order.

If he wants them to stand beyond his presidency Trump needs to get these thing codified into law and the fact that the GOP house has not taken any action along those lines yet disturbs me.

Of course they might be waiting for an opportune time or might be waiting for a spending bill that can’t be filibustered to attach his EO’s to, but whatever the tact they need to keep this in mind otherwise the next Democrat president can and likely will put all of this nonsense that Trump has removed back in play with a single signature.

One of the things that never ceases to amaze me concerning the media and Donald Trump is their complete inability to learn from their mistakes.

President Trump after a term in office and four years to think about how to achieve his goals has pivoted in terms of tactics to adapt them to current conditions and has used this to achieve the highest approval ratings he has ever scored.

Meanwhile the media continues to try to spin and play “gotcha” in an age where the net allows us to debunk them to a public that doesn’t trust them.

Perhaps never having been taught how to think but only how to react they may not know how to deal with the onslaught of action that this administration has become and serving a niche market means they don’t dare go out of the zone.

They’ll have to wait for a mistake, one will eventually come but will they be ready when it does?

I’ve been surprised by the lack of focus on Abortion in the hearings for RFK JR.

The reality is that it’s going to take republican votes to sink any Trump nomination and the place where Kennedy should have been most vulnerable was abortion being a lifelong Democrat. Of course his description of abortion as a tragedy rather than something to be celebrated shows his age.

That they didn’t press it more suggests it’s all about show and fundraising from true believers than anything else.

Of course the unwillingness to celebrate killing kids rather than simply tolerating it at alone might be enough to cost him Collins and Murkowski. But will it cost him more?

As Trump’s press secretary welcomes new media to the press conferences in DC allow me to take a slight bow.

While I was unable to secure Trump as an interview in the closing days of the blog as a business I can take a bow for another matter.

I’m welcome to allow someone to correct me but unless I’m very much mistaken the very first question asked of Donald Trump either on the campaign trail or as President by a member of the new media in an official setting was asked by me in Derry NH in September of 2015

Not a bad legacy

Trump as Decatur And Columbia as Algiers or FAFO

1st Romana: Stop! I have new evidence.
4th Doctor: Too late. I’ve just been executed.

Doctor Who The Stones of Blood 1978

A little US History.

Two hundred and twenty years ago Thomas Jefferson sent a flotilla under Edward Prebble to teach the Barbary Pirates that imprisoning and enslaving Americans was not acceptable. Despite successes by him and his officers such as Stephen Decatur Prebble was eventually recalled and a half a dozen years later the US found itself engaged in a war with Great Britain, a war where American Warships embarrassed the most powerful navel power in the world repeatedly both in single ship actions and in fleet actions.

By the time the war was over the British Navy had instructed their warships not to engage American vessels alone (This didn’t help as the USS Constitution took a pair of British warships the  HMS Cyane and HMS Levant before the news of peace came through.) and the US navy emboldened by their victories was busy building capital ships and frigates and decided that having stood strong against the greatest empire the world had seen they were no longer going to kowtow to the Barbary States.

So for a second time Captain Decatur was sent to the Mediterranean Sea this time with the largest and most powerful US fleet ever assembled to make terms.

He took two Algerian warships in battle killing the captain of their fleet and sailed into Algiers. When the Bey tried to bluff him he revealed the capture of their ships and the death of the Algerian admiral and as soon as it was clear that he was ready to take their entire fleet the Dey was suddenly amenable to leaving American ships and citizens alone without requiring a bribe.

Having accomplished this he sailed next to Tunis and Tripoli and by the time he was done all three Barbary Pirate states had signed treaties declaring that they would no longer be attacking American ships and holding Americans for ransom.

A few weeks later Captain William Bainbridge, whose fleet had been delayed showed up at all three of those ports making sure that the Algerians, Tunisians and Tripolians understood that messing with the United States was a bad idea.

The size of the fleets made a difference in these decision but the thing that really sold the deal was Decatur taking their flagship and killing their admiral at the start making it clear to the Bey in the words of today, that if he fucked around he would find out.

I could not help but thing of this when Columbia discovered that Trump wasn’t kidding around.

You see two military planes were sent with Columbian criminals on them being deported. The Columbian president refused to let them land and made a rather public statement about how he wasn’t going to take them.

Minutes later Trump answered on truth social announcing a 25% Tariffs and all kinds of restrictions on the Columbian government to take effect immediately promising to make the 25% 50% if things didn’t change and then continued to play his game of golf.

Before he had finished the course Columbia had a public statement offering government plains to take his citizens back. The reversal was so fast that they left/media was still hitting Trump for the moves and bemoaning the price increases on coffee and flowers this would lead to after the Columbians had already folded.

Then Trump posted this:

The Columbian leader put out a macho face saving rant but the diplomats quickly came back into line:

Shortly after Petro published his diatribe, Bogotá announced it would accept the flights. United States officials subsequently announced they would not immediately impose retaliatory measures.

“The Government of Colombia has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or delay,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed in a statement on Sunday night.

“The visa sanctions issued by the State Department, and enhanced inspections from Customs and Border Protection, will remain in effect until the first planeload of Colombian deportees is successfully returned,” she added.

The more I think of this the more I believe Trump should send Petro a thank you card he couldn’t have asked for a better result

If you are going to convince people you are serious you need to set an example. Petro’s pushback and subsequent surrender has put the word out that Trump means it.

And if people think a man who came within a 1/2 of an inch of being shot is going to be intimidated by tin pot leftists or lefty media members and editors have another think coming.

And his courage is going to embolden others who were previously timid in the face of the deep state.

I suspect Trump knows who Decatur is but wasn’t trying to be Decatur, he was just being Trump moving forward for the sake of America.

Trump has taken up Decatur’s mantle and he’s running with it, let our enemies, foreign and domestic beware.
