Mark Caserta: Outrage over making government more efficient is puzzling. Who disagrees it must be done? And why?

11 Mar

Could there be something to hide from the American people?

Regarding the outrage by liberal Democrats over the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) identifying and halting insane government use of our hard-earned tax dollars.

Are you kidding me? 

It is completely befuddling to me how anyone can place their hatred of a man’s personality over the future of our nation and their family!

Are you seriously willing to defend your tax dollars being used for the following?  This is real, validated, ludicrous spending of your tax dollars by the (now defunct) U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

  • $1.5 million to advance Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) in Serbia’s workplaces.

Most people can’t even find Serbia on a map.  Do you really want to pay for the advancement of DEI in their country?

  • $70,000 for a production of a DEI musical in Ireland.

Now, I appreciate the Arts as much as anyone, but $70,000 could nearly pay off my mortgage!

  • $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia.

You probably couldn’t pay me $47,000 to “attend” a transgender opera in Columbia!  I certainly don’t want to pay for it!

  • $32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru.

I just don’t have the words for this one. Maybe it’s Dick Tracy in drag?  Who knows…

These insane expenditures were identified by President Trump’s DOGE team led by Elon Musk.  And this is just the tip of the iceberg! 

Do not forget – IT’S YOUR MONEY!!

Additionally, this is the most transparent administration in my lifetime.    All cuts of waste, fraud and abuse can be found on the DOGE Offical Webite where they detail cuts and expenditures and even offer receipts to validate their findings!

President Trump’s goal is not to hurt the American people.  He’s working for you!

The US Government has simply failed us.  They’ve proven they are completely unable and unwilling to cut spending.  While we sit around the dinner table trimming back and planning our finances, Congress spends your money with complete oblivion as to how it impacts the average American and their family.

And the outrage is mind boggling. Many of the very same hypocritical, liberal Democrat politicians making fools of themselves over Trump’s noble efforts to bring efficiency back to government have openly stated in the past that we must trim government spending.

Who doesn’t agree government spending has been out of control for decades? Our nation is $32 trillion dollars in debt! Utter collapse is inevitable if we don’t stop the spending insanity!

It isn’t about the process – it’s about hating President Trump!  Democrats have proven they are willing to compromise you, your family and, indeed, our nation to see Trump fail. 

That, my friend, is a symptom of a failing Republic and must be stopped. We hired these individuals to represent us. But it doesn’t matter what our president does or how much it benefits you!  Liberal Democrats will oppose it, regardless of your wishes! That’s not representation.

My challenge to patriots is to see beyond the messenger!  Focus on the message!

Make America great again by returning control to the people. We finally have a president ready, willing and able to fight for the American people. At least we can do it be open-minded to the option of winning!

But make no mistake, “We the People” have to be serious and do our part to take back America from liberal Democrats, who frankly, have turned their backs on their country and fellow citizens.

Don’t be fooled by the liberal mainstream media, either.  They are complicit in the process. 

Get engaged, study the issues and pray for our president and our nation.

Mark Caserta:  Free State Patriot editor

July 13, 2018

 

Since winning the presidency, Donald J. Trump has successfully exposed the liberal bias in our nation, not only among the mainstream media, but in the nooks and crannies of “dark state” America. Even individuals heretofore considered “moderates” are “coming out” and revealing their ardent disdain for conservatism.

Exposing the progressive movement in this country has long been a mission of mine. As millions of Americans awaken every day to an unprecedented number of non-sensical attacks on this presidency, the mission has accelerated exponentially.

I believe many of the so-called “never Trumpers” would rather our nation’s unemployment rate and taxes be higher, the labor participation rate lower, and our brave military men and women facing down ISIS in large numbers, just so they can defile the Trump presidency.

And it’s the epitome of hypocrisy that they do it under the guise of protecting our “republic” from the “worst president in U.S. history,” a moniker for which they’ve no concrete foundation, other than his demeanor and success makes them look irrelevant.

The most recent attempt by the left to assault President Trump resulted from his promise to the American people to enforce border security and protect our nation.

Trump’s wins for America are compiling so rapidly that liberals have no argument that engaged Americans are willing to support. Ineffective as they are, they must find a way to make an emotional connection with the masses if they ever hope to regain the White House.

The attempt to make a connection between Russia and Trump failed miserably. Liberals are now reduced to throwing anything possible against the wall and hoping it sticks – hence their clamor on illegal immigration.

I wish I had a Buffalo nickel for every time I heard a “never Trumper” make the case against Trump’s border policies by asserting “we’re a nation of immigrants.”

Agreed. The U.S. has always been inviting for individuals desiring to come to our country – but legally. Anyone saying otherwise is woefully ignorant of American history.

And yes, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.” But don’t begin your assimilation by ignoring our laws and entering our country illegally. We are a nation of laws. When we ignore them, we’ll resemble the nations from whence these individuals desire to escape.

The Statue of Liberty was gifted to the United States by France to commemorate our alliance during the American Revolution and to honor our perseverance for freedom and democracy. The sonnet mounted on the statue, written by Emma Lazarus in 1883, was written to help raise funds for the statue base.

It’s not a “Bada book, Bada boom” invitation!

America’s military is far too mighty for our sovereignty to be challenged by another country. But I can think of no quicker way to concede our sovereignty than to eliminate our border. That’s essentially what liberals are proposing in dealing with illegal immigration.

My great-grandfather traveled from Italy and disembarked at Ellis Island over 100 years ago. He arrived legally, assimilated into our American culture and worked hard to become a contributing citizen to society. He earned his citizenship and learned to love his country. That sort of patriotism can’t be imparted to someone unwilling to respect our laws.

When our nation becomes inundated with illegal residents, who haven’t pledged their allegiance to our country and flag, we’ll become weak from within, susceptible to civil unrest and discord.

Sound familiar? The liberal position on border security will make it devastatingly worse.

That’s why President Trump and millions of supporters realize our borders must be controlled.

It’s time liberals put America first.
