The car I\u2019m in has one wheel with a bad bearing, another one with a chunk out of it, and clowns jumping at me round every bend.<\/p>\n<p>I can see my \u00dcber Democrat stepfather nodding his head winding up for the, \u201c<i>See this is what you get when you don\u2019t vote Democrat,<\/i>\u201d gloating. Until I finish the thought.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been like we\u2019re circling the toilet bowl since the Obama Administration. Okay honestly, Bush\u00b2 may have been when things really started to go off the rails.<\/p>\n<p>Now in Trump\u00b2 it\u2019s beginning to look like Democrat obstructionism, lawfare, and <strong><i>not<\/i><\/strong> having a better idea will continue.<\/p>\n<p>But wait, there\u2019s more! For a limited time, we can have more rioting and looting, incited by Democrat leadership. Yippee!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"State Sen.

Lola Smallwood-Cuevas.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" border=\"0\" \/>I want to be clear, I don\u2019t regret voting for Trump. Had the Democrat party offered a superior candidate, I would have voted Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>They didn\u2019t. They offered Kamala Harris and a buffoon, who would have continued on with policies that weren\u2019t working.<\/p>\n<p>For example: <i>Welfare fraud under $25,000 in California could be decriminalized due to Senate Bill 560, which was introduced by State Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"KamalaHarris.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/KamalaHarris.jpeg\" alt=\"Th 1863706216.\" width=\"299\" height=\"168\" border=\"0\" \/>Kamala Harris was a terrible AG for California. A do nothing Senator. She was a horrible Vice President and clearly out of her depth. Waltz, was no better. He might actually have been worse.

Our spending is unsustainable.<\/i>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Offshoring industries, likewise offshores jobs, (not everyone is suited to work a fast food counter,) we were spending too much money on illegal immigration, at the expense of our own citizens. I don\u2019t care if illegals were paying taxes, they\u2019d simply supplanted citizens who <b><i>also<\/i><\/b> would have been paying taxes but were now unemployed.<\/p>\n<p>The underlying problem may well be corporate greed, but yelling about it, then increasing regulations, offshoring jobs, and not fixing the problem wasn\u2019t improving anything. Nor was moving toward a globalist government or economic model under the direction of the WEF.<\/p>\n<p>The WEF is not and likely, never has been, our friend. Looking at the larger picture, I sincerely wonder if they\u2019re anyone\u2019s friend. Many of their policies seem aimed at creating dependency. Particularly when smaller countries are examined.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of cases where productive countries who were feeding their people, and exporting their goods, (in other words doing okay,) joined or implemented WEF policies, and suddenly found themselves with people starving in the streets. What followed was insurrections and revolutions.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the travails of the American People were ignored. The January 6 protest, (In Democrat Parlance, an &#8220;insurrection that was worse than 9\/11&#8243;,) was the American people essentially asking, \u201cWhat the FUCK are you people doing?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That too fell on deaf ears.<\/p>\n<p>Politicians choice to ignore the will of the American people led directly to Trump, both times!<\/p>\n<p>The Biden years led directly to a large percentage of the American People demanding an accounting of just how much government corruption there was. DOGE is the result of that demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat party is in disarray. Trump moving at breakneck speed as he has done, is about cutting the parasites out of government and keeping them so off balance that they couldn\u2019t keep up with events enough to mount a defense.<\/p>\n<p>At the risk of invoking NAZI imagery, Trump and his administration mounted a Blitzkrieg, not just against the Democrats, but against corrupt politicians in general.<\/p>\n<p>Have you noticed how many Representatives and Senators have decided not to seek reelection? In the run up to the midterms, I think we\u2019ll see a lot more from both sides of the aisle doing the same.<\/p>\n<p>But now, as the first 100 days come to a close and the Blitzkrieg comes to an end, I suspect that my prediction about a second Trump Presidency will turn out to be true.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats, other corrupt politicians, organizations, lobbyists, and whatever cabal of corporations, have begun to regain their footing. They\u2019re not off balance anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Now they\u2019re going to capitalize on the hatred they\u2019ve created toward Trump and those who voted for him. They\u2019ll engage in impeachment, and another summer of \u201cLove\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll try to back Trump into a corner wherein he\u2019ll have little choice but to deploy national guard to restore order and execute one of the primary responsibilities of the Government.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s in the freaking preamble of The Constitution of The United States.<\/p>\n<p><i>We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The 35 words of the Presidents Oath of Office are;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<i>I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.<\/i>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>If you read the preamble, and take it literally. The part about <i style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">insuring domestic tranquility <\/i>will most likely be where Trump goes.<\/p>\n<p>The primary responsibility of the Government is to insure safety of the citizenry.<\/p>\n<p>If\/when the national guard rolls on the streets of Chicago, New York, Seattle, Portland, and Los Angeles. Trump will be labeled a NAZI, a Dictator, an Emperor, \u00a0then the corrupt politicians and their henchmen will take him off at the knees.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll tie his administration up in endless hearings thereby deleting any benefit of his administration.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll have 3 years, and 265 days of endless bullshit. The country will remain polarized, the economy will stall, and we\u2019ll all suffer for it.<\/p>\n<p>The corrupt will run out the clock, they\u2019ll present someone with great hair, a winning smile, and a mouth full of honey.<\/p>\n<p>That person will talk about unity, peace, better jobs, the homeless, the poor, the disadvantaged, and how evil Republicans are. They\u2019ll appeal to emotions like revenge and retribution.<\/p>\n<p>That person will \u201cwin\u201d the next presidential election. Then, they\u2019ll say, \u201c<i>We have so much unrest, we\u2019ll need to keep the nation guard in place until things calm down<\/i>.\u201d They\u2019ll blame it all on the Trump Administration and probably set up a \u201cTip\u201d line, so that \u201cGood\u201d citizens can report <i>insurrectionist<\/i> speech, while extolling the virtues of weeding out the evil in our midst.<\/p>\n<p>And then, we\u2019ll be living in a police state. Or there will be a revolution.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"GavinNewsom.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/GavinNewsom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" border=\"0\" \/>My money is on Gavin Newsom as the Democrats choice.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s with this running as a simulation in my head, that I say I want to go back to freaking stability!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to go back to the \u201880s or \u201890s where sure, there were problems and issues but at least I lived my life pretty simply. I literally never thought about the government except at tax time, or if there was some monumentally stupid thing happening.<\/p>\n<p>I worked, I was generally happy, global issues were beyond my control or concern, and it was quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Back then I couldn\u2019t conceive of the insanity of today. Orwell, and Rand, were fictions. The sun was gentle, the beaches were clean, the ocean warm, and my culture, future, and country, were secure. Or so I thought.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect I was running the simulation in my sleep. I don\u2019t remember dreaming about any of this, but when I woke this morning, Jesse was cuddled up next to me with his head on my arm.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t typically engage in that kind of cuddling behavior, he\u2019s more of a, \u201c<i>We\u2019ll sleep when we\u2019re dead,&#8221; <\/i>kind of dog.<\/p>\n<p>But if I\u2019m sick, hurt, or restless while sleeping, he tries to comfort me. I have to give him credit, he\u2019s really a sweet dog, even when he\u2019s a pain in my ass.<\/p>\n<p>I hate like hell that I have no choice but to disrupt his life, <i>and mine,<\/i> with packing up and finding some other place that we can afford to live.
