First read Ron Pauls column at; https://mailchi.mp/ronpaulinstitute.org/tpartydoge
Some comments from friends of mine on that column;
From "Countryadam" This article shows the "mountains to climb" for even one dollar of cuts. One hundred and fifty billion in cuts is very far removed from the two trillion they wanted to cut. In some ways it is business as usual, IE; nothing gets cut in the spending column.
From "Rusty" My wife and I were both in the Tea Party. Trump is doing a fine job with people management but there appears that there are too many weak kneed rhinos to cut spending to where the gov't becomes much smaller and spends much less. Time will tell. I say cut the gov't to one half of what it is now. Follow the constitution and the feds have very little to manage compared to how large the gov't is now.
From "Jerry" Very interesting, thanks for sharing. As a Tea Partier, I can identify with everything Ron Paul wrote/ It ain't over yet. Trump's team has enough to break the back of the swamp and the evil globalists with it.
From "Windstream" I wonder how many new guvmint jawbs are for a nephew who sits home collecting a check and donates a large amount back to the party. Might want to look at head counts over the last 5-6 yrs, what increased and why, Then look at payrolls, how many got big pay increases and a lot gets kicked back to the party. You see similar with WH staff count between T and joey boy and obummer. Agree, time for RINO season.

A Warning on the Unintended Consequences of Exposing Corruption
As the Department of Government Ethics (DOGE) continues its relentless work exposing the deep corruption, legislative abuses, misappropriations, and outright theft of taxpayer dollars, a new and dangerous threat is emerging — not from the criminals being exposed, but from their desperate reactions to protect themselves.
The reality is simple: when corrupt officials find themselves cornered, their instinct is survival at any cost. As DOGE pulls back the curtain and reveals how many legislators have dirt on their hands, the risk grows that these compromised individuals will band together, not for justice or reform, but for retaliation. Their survival instinct may drive them to coordinate a political assault on those who pose the greatest threat to their power and exposure.
This includes President Donald Trump, whose outsider status and refusal to play by Washington’s corrupt rules already make him a prime target. If these politicians — desperate to shift blame and attention away from themselves — unite, they could weaponize impeachment and conviction proceedings against Trump once again. The goal would not be justice but self-preservation through distraction and political destruction.
Even more troubling is the growing possibility that after targeting Trump, they will move next against innovators like Elon Musk — much as they crushed patriotic entrepreneurs like Mike Lindell. Musk, who has defied entrenched systems and championed free speech and independent enterprise, represents yet another threat to their control. His independence, wealth, and influence make him a natural next target for a corrupt political class seeking revenge and silence.
This must be avoided at all costs.
We cannot allow legitimate exposure of corruption to be hijacked by the very forces it seeks to purge. Those working to uncover the truth must anticipate this backlash and fortify against it. Patriots must stand ready to defend leaders and innovators who represent real change, not allow the corrupt to cannibalize the righteous in a desperate bid for survival.
The stakes are too high. If we allow the guilty to unite in retaliation, we risk losing not only this critical opportunity for reform but the very future of honest governance and free enterprise in America.

I am sure the Col.'s in here can lay out the best scenario, but my limited experience tells me that Limited Military Martial Law is perfect for this timeline. Trump cannot do this alone, nor can Musk. Justice has been driven out of America for over a decade, unless of course, someone is white and middle class. It's new breed of racism, classism and terrorism. Time to break some arms, metaphorically, break some legs, metaphorically and let the hammer of Justice do its magnifcent job as the time is right. It's never been so right. And the courts as a weapon against us ALL, proves it.
