The Trump Presidency : Year V
We are living in the time of the second American revolution – the Trump revolution. There’s never been anything remotely like it before. I feel so fortunate to be here during this astonishingly swift transition from mediocrity to greatness.

Regarding Marc Fogel, Trump made a promise to his 95 y/o mother at the time of his visit to Butler, PA, prior to the assassination attempt, that he would get her son back, if re-elected President. And he did.

Another promise made and kept. Cool

That just brings tears to my eyes, man. Promises made, promises kept. Never mind contrasting Biden letting go a criminal arms dealer for a basketball player and he didn't even get him freed as well.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Biden was never bright, and is utterly without gravitas.

Trump Warns Hamas to Free All Hostages by Saturday - Wall Street Journal

“President Trump warned Hamas to free all the hostages held in Gaza by Saturday, hours after the Palestinian militant group said it would postpone this week’s scheduled release amid a dispute over goods needed to provide shelter for the enclave’s displaced population.
“As far as I’m concerned, if all of the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday at 12 o’clock—I think it’s an appropriate time—I would say, cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday.“

The above speaks for itself… my own prognostication is simply telling Israel that all restrictions placed by Biden no longer apply. Then the IDF can use anything the want and send them every available type of munitions ASAP.

Brings tears of joy to my eyes…

If you have not seen this Democrat video, you must do so!

The Democrats are scared shitless over Trump!

I watched either 45 or 47 seconds of that video. It was all I could take.

The Left and the Media, are overwhelmed. They have not stopped backpedaling since Day #1! It is a Trump Blitskreig.

As may be obvious, I suffer from insomnia.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politi...rch-costs-rcna191337

The below Chart reference is a derivative from “X”

https://x.com/NIH/status/1888004759396958263

Essentially, the grants in the past to those Universities were OVER 60% in ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD!! That is insane!!! Now limited to 15% which makes sense.

In my past, I managed very large medical laboratories for billion dollar companies as well as my own facilities. Management overhead was considerably less than 15%!

What DOGE is uncovering is not simple waste, rather fraud! Both sides, recipients and government monetary signatories should be given to the DOJ for prosecution.

There are signers on the Government side approving the expenditures - FIND THEM AND MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!

The DOGE guys need to apply that model to the National Laboratories under the Department of Energy. When I worked at one, total indirect costs (supporting offices in the Lab that were >1000 miles from where I worked and who did nothing for me) were on par with total expenditures on doing the work.

SIG2340 -

I believe that your observation will be reflected by almost all of us who have worked and are knowledgeable about costs when paid by the Government.

I worked a short time in a military hospital laboratory. It was obvious to me that there was low hanging fruit that, with minor changes, would result in significant cost savings. I wrote up a short suggestion paper and gave it to Management.

It was summarily dismissed with the comment, “Don’t rock the boat… no one cares.” I left as soon as I was able.

Another memo went out yesterday...recall how Biden would regularly thumb his nose at judges and ignore them and keep going and these people were delighted. Roll Eyes

Now Trump mentions in passing he may defy these corrupt judges trying to shut his movement down and they all squawk in unison like the good little parrots they are:

Executions for this kind of thing is probably too much to hope for, but criminal prosecutions and long jail sentences would be welcome.
