It was obvious that the 2020 election was stolen because of government interference – censorship – with the Hunter Biden Laptop story. There were some photographs on that laptop which would have put Barack Obama in an extremely difficult position, were he to be asked if he still supported Joe Biden for president. Hunter (Joe’s son) was enjoying corrupting Barack’s daughter – does Barack still support Joe for President?

No matter how Barack answered the question, the Democrats would have lost ten to fifteen percent of their voters. That would have made the election a landslide in favor of Donald Trump.

There was all loss and no win for the Democrats if that question got asked. To avoid that question being asked, our government colluded to censor the Hunter Biden Laptop story during the election.

I remember friends trying to share that story via Twitter and via Facebook, and their attempts to share were denied. These two companies have¹ become censorship tools of the deep state. Google has since joined their rank.

But Julian Assange got it right: as Trump was forming his new government, he got hustled by deep state wolves in MAGA clothing. In Donald’s interview on the Joe Rogan podcast, he made the point that it is really difficult to know who to appoint. With a lot of the candidates, there isn’t a visible list of accomplishments. You really don’t know who is going to be good in a position. There are an influx of partisans telling him who to appoint, but they aren’t necessarily trustworthy either.

I am hoping that here in his second term as President, that Donald Trump nominates Ron Paul as Director of National Intelligence, and tells Ron that he can fire anyone he wants, and still have full support of the presidency. I personally think that the CIA should be decimated², and hope that Ron Paul would be willing to do that. Doctor Paul might be a better fit for being over the Medicare department, because he is a medical doctor, and he has decades of experience fighting government largesse. So perhaps Edward Snowden should be pardoned and then made Director of National Intelligence. I’d like to see someone in charge who was bothered so much by how our intelligence agencies have strayed from their path. Both Doctor Paul and Edward Snowden fit that bill.

Another hope I have is that Donald Trump appoints Robert F. Kennedy Junior as Secretary of Health and Human Services, which would put him in charge of the FDA. Make America Health Again is a wonderful idea – probably the best idea. It could also make sense to put RFK Jr. as Secretary of Agriculture, since this position is over the Forest Service, and RFK Jr. is an environmentalist. Secretary of Agriculture is also in charge of food inspection and safety. But I think he would be best for our country directing the FDA to become a protector of the public instead of stooges for the pharmaceutical industry and the processed foods industry.

I am hoping that Donald Trump appoints Tulsi Gabbard as Secretary of Defense. I’d like to see Tulsi as our first female president. I actually wanted her as Vice President, but I admit that JD Vance was a great pick. Because Tulsi was active military and deployed to the Middle East, she has real-world experience in the horrors of war. That’s the Secretary of Defense I want. I also think that were she Secretary of Defense, when it comes time for JD Vance to pick a Vice Presidential running mate, Tulsi would be a perfect fit. That would then set her up to be our first female President.

I want our first female President to be someone honorable, not someone who slept her way to the top.

Another Cabinet pick I would like to see is Elon Musk being appointed as Secretary of Transportation, if only to get smart cars running on smart roads, quickly. It seems to me that this will be one of the best environmental moves; reducing as much as possible the amount of fuel used to transport food, goods, and people.

Of course, I’d also like to see Elon appointed Secretary of Government Efficiency. This position doesn’t exist (yet), but it should.

Although I think that Jack Welch destroyed General Electric by instituting a yearly rank-and-yank firing policy, I do think that the entire US government would benefit from a rank-and-yank performed at least once, and probably once per decade (randomly). Because Jack Welch pitched the idea to do it yearly, it destroys the company it is implemented in. But once in a great while? Yes, I can see how it would be good for an organization. Especially for government where it can be so difficult to fire bad employees.

Anyway, I am happy Donald Trump won the election. I know that there is still danger that the deep state will try to assassinate him before he takes office. But at least now, JD Vance would then become President, and he seems like the kind of guy who would not be cowed by the deep state. If an assassination of Donald Trump happened, I think JD Vance would prosecute whomever for treason with zeal to the fullest extent of the law.

1. “Had” in the case of Twitter, because it was rescued by Elon Musk. ↩︎
2. The term decimated has a specific definition: the Latin deci means “ten” so after decimation one out of ten are left. 90% gone, 10% left. With that, the CIA will be too busy to do their warmongering treason and censoring treason and could only focus on information collection actions. ↩︎

If it was such a great idea, your representatives would have voted in favor of it, passed it, and then told you how great they are for getting it passed.

The only reason the ballot measure is being put in front of you is because when given the opportunity to put their name on it, your representatives shuddered at the idea and opted-out.

If this terrible idea passes, it’s your fault, not theirs.

That I am aware of, there was a single ballot measure that was a good idea: California’s Proposition 13 of 1978.

Prop 13 limited the taxes that the government could collect, so zero representatives were going to vote in favor of it: it had to come from the voters and be put in front of the voters. Governor Jerry Brown was warning everyone ahead of the election about what a disaster it would be, if it passed.¹ It turned out to be the best idea ever.

Why was it the best idea ever? Because it limited taxes to a stable metric: property values. Before Prop 13, collected taxes were highly variable both by time and location. After Prop 13, Sacramento knew with high precision how much money was going to be coming in.

That didn’t stop the bureaucrats from spending foolishly; but it did remove the excuse that they overspent because revenues fell short this year. They overspent because they wanted to overspend.

Anyway, when your ballot has measures on it for you to approve, and they aren’t a grassroots movement to limit government reach, just vote no.

1. After the election and it passed with an overwhelming majority, Jerry Brown tried to claim he was in favor of it all along, adding evidence to the old adage: “How do you know when a politician is lying? His lips are moving.” ↩︎

The EFF pointed out that H.R.6611 is going for a vote, and it does nothing to fix the abuses of power exposed by the Snowden revelations. I wrote the following and sent it in my email to my congressman.

As your constituent, I request you to vote “no” on the FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2023 (H.R.6611) which was introduced by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).

HPSCI was established as an oversight committee, a response to uncovering unsupervised wrongdoings against helpless victims. Oversight committees don’t emerge when everything is going well; they arise when abuses of power are exposed. Unfortunately, HPSCI seems to have forgotten its purpose, allowing itself to be swayed by those who justify their actions, portraying themselves as heroes. Instead of being watchdogs protecting us from Big Brother’s abuses, HPSCI has become their lapdogs, aiding in the pursuit of more victims.

The proposed bill, H.R.6611, the FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2023, is just another act in the theater of governance – doing nothing to rectify past harm and avoiding crucial reforms that would shield the U.S.A. from further damage.

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, a sound idea in 1792, remains relevant today. I urge you to vote against H.R.6611 and demand that HPSCI revisits the drawing board with a new bill that puts an end to warrantless surveillance.

I appreciate your time and attention to my request.

In today’s climate, and with the concessions Lorne Michaels has had to make over the years, it will never be as funny as this: U.S. Ministry of Truth Interrogates Man Who Shared Misinformation

I remember watching SNL as a kid, back in the 1970’s. It was truly hilarious. 1970’s SNL would have done this skit, exactly, this coming Saturday.

Today’s SNL is likely getting pressured to let Nina Jankowicz host the show instead of (correctly) being mocked on it.

Lorne Michaeals probably sees that SNL is in hospice care. His beloved baby has grown ill, and it’s terminal.

He should do the right thing and pull the plug. Let it die with at least a little dignity left.

I doubt that his corporate owners will let him do that, however.
