Quick Analysis

The Democrat’s Playbook will be their Failure

The ongoing and monumental decline of the Democratic Party since the November election is a historical event of significant proportions. The potential demise of the oldest political party in the United States, founded in 1828 and approaching its 200th year in 2028, is a matter of grave concern can it survive. This commentary aims not to rescue the Democratic Party from its potential extinction, but to dissect the self-inflicted actions that led to its current predicament that has roots deeply imbedded in the party. First Chapter “The Courts” The Biden Administration built on the long history of using the courts to achieve what they could not achieve in Congress. With the appointment of liberal judges to the lower courts over successive presidents, they changed the structure of the courts to get them to give them the power they wanted by legislating from the bench. The American people reacted to the expansive use of lawfare to go after Donald Trump, a misuse of the courts that had a profound impact on the political landscape and the outcome of the election. The assault on Trump marked the first instance in our nation’s history where the vast resources of the government were deployed to influence the outcome of a Presidential election. The 5 cases against Trump, were viewed by Americans as an abuse of power, it began to unravel, leading to a surge of public discontent against Biden and the Democratic party. In April 2024, a PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll revealed that 45% of Americans deemed these investigations unfair and a deliberate obstruction of his 2024 presidential campaign. One of the ironies was that the more they went after Trump with 4 other charges, his favorable polling data increased, and Biden’s went down. The American people had a greater sense of fairness than the Democratic Party leadership. This lack of trust in the American justice system was shown by the 132 claims filed by the Democratic Party against the Trump Administration in his first 90 days in office. The Democrats couldn’t stop him from being elected President by using the courts. Now, they are using the district courts to try and stop him from doing what the electorate wants him to do. Second Chapter NGO (Non-Government Organization) President Trump ran on the platform that he wanted to eliminate waste, fraud, and corruption in government departments. Elon Musk was brought in to head a team of professionals to examine how the government was being run and how our tax dollars were being spent. Even the Democrats knew that there was fraud, corruption, and waste in the government because they were responsible for most of what was going on. That is not to say that some Republicans didn’t have a hand in some of it. We know that there is a Federal bureaucracy of unelected people who decide how your money is spent, and their actions were not subject to approval. What does it cost for an employee in the government vs the private sector? The average income is almost $94,000 per year plus $36,000 for the cost of benefits. However, the average non-government income is only about $64,000 plus $16,000 for benefits. These people approve the payments to NGOs who spend your tax dollars possibly against your principles and values. Elon Musk calls for arrest of ‘fake NGO’ leaders — claiming they’re part of a ‘giant money laundering scheme.’ Biden transferred $20 Billion to an offshore bank and then began distributing the money to NGOs in the United States. Under the Biden administration, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded $2 billion to a “green energy” nonprofit that appears to have been little more than a means to enrich left-wing activists such as former Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams. The DOJ/FBI are investigating, and the money has been frozen. It is insane that the Biden Administration would give $2 Billion to an organization that previously only received $100. The massive grant was awarded to Power Forward Communities in April 2024 from environmental spending in former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act 2022. So far, DOGE has identified $140 billion in fraud and corruption and expects to find at least $1 trillion before they are done. According to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) paid $380,000 a month for website changes before canceling the contract and having an internal staffer take over. You can go to the DOGE website, https://doge.gov/payments and see all the things they have discovered so far. Third Chapter Corruption Who gets the fees in NGO’s? The Democrats have spent trillions of dollars on pet projects in America and all over the world. There is no doubt that some are good, but most are not. I wonder, and now so does Elon, how people are retiring from Congress with millions of dollars in net worth on an annual salary of $174,000 as a member of Congress. Speaking at a town hall in Wisconsin, Elon Musk suggested that his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will investigate how certain members of Congress have achieved generational wealth. One attendee at the town hall asked Musk if DOGE had uncovered evidence of funds wired from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)” The government] sends the money overseas to one NGO [non-governmental organization], then they’ll go through a bunch of them, and then I’m highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to the United States, and lands in the pockets of the people you just mentioned,” Musk replied. The tactics the Democrats have used in the past are fading fast. The more we shine light on these practices, the quicker we can get rid of them, and our elected officials will hopefully serve us instead of themselves and their agenda. We will be eliminating the deep state, cleaning out the courts, and putting our house in an open and […]
