The noise about Elon Musk is not about the separation of powers, a Constitutional Crisis, or destroying America or our Democracy. The last one angers me because these people should know we are a Republic, not a Democracy. The noise about Elon Musk ranges from he is unelected and unconfirmed to a crook, a thief, and a billionaire with twisted motivations and conflicts of interest. What they won’t admit is the truth. Elon Musk is a newcomer to Trump’s army. He was never overly political, but Musk was aligned from his youth with the Democrats. Somehow, Musk was attracted and connected to Donald Trump during the 2024 Election. Musk had a massive impact on the campaign; he and Trump became friends, and Musk offered his brains and experience to help Trump fulfill his campaign promise to clean up government waste and corruption. Musk is a billionaire volunteer giving his time and expertise for the good of the country. That probably explains why he is a puzzle and threat to Democrats. They do not understand service to or love of country.

The noisy Reps are making sure the cameras are rolling as they spew their rhetoric of hyperboles and lies. This is Maxine’s moment in the spotlight. Her talk is loud, raucous, and laced with profanity. Ironically, as she and her Democrat allies were attempting a mini-insurrection on the Department of Education, they were missing an important roll-call vote on Education. So much for the fallacy that all they do is for the children. Everything they do is for them and their grip on power. Elon Musk is a threat to both. Every day, he exposes more of their corrupt plots to shuffle money, our money.

The claim that is consistent with every one of these irrational Democrats is that the President cannot undue funds that Congress has allocated. Let’s look at the most heinous transfer of money uncovered so far. The $40M given to Wuhan’s lab proves that Dr. Anthony Fauci lied on several occasions to Congress about the United States funding Gain of Function research in China that led to the COVID-19 epidemic that killed millions throughout the world. If all of the funds distributed through USAID were approved and voted on by Congress, then whose proposal was this $40M, and who supported it? This sinister plot was why Joe Biden needed to grant Fauchi a blanket pre-ordered pardon.

They all knew that with Trump back in the White House, with renewed confidence and surrounded by the right people from Day One, their gig was up. They knew their sins and had to protect them. These people will keep up the noise and the daily rallies in the hope they can deflect attention away from the real issue of fraud and corruption. I watched Maddow on MSNBC last night; she has elevated her level of lies and rhetoric. It was more than painful to watch. It was maddening. The extreme disrespect of Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFKJ was disgusting. She opened a segment on Hegseth’s visit overseas and introduced him as the former FOX News host, not his position as Secretary of Defense. She showed the protestors, but not the warriors who worked out with their Sec Def and lined up to shake his hand. Her demeaning of Gabbard and Kennedy defies words. These people are evil haters of this country and her people. Pardons will not erase those traits.
