“Governments,” wrote Thomas Jefferson, “are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed – that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to altar or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”

Those words should not only be our rallying cry, but they should strike fear in those who lord their positions over us without concern for our wishes, interests or well-being.  Instead of falsely maligning Elon Musk, because they know the prodigious amount of corruption and fraud he and the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) are uncovering, is sooner rather than later going to result in criminal charges being filed against them; the elected should be paralyzed with fear that We the People will unite in support of President Trump and take the words of Thomas Jefferson to heart and action.

It is the will of the people that counts – not the radical socialist agendas of contumacious and morally opprobrious elected representatives.

We, the American people, tend to overlook and/or forget that we are financially responsible for all that Congress does. Their financial malfeasance and misappropriations comes out of our pockets.

Our Founding Fathers knew that government should be “by the people, of the people and for the people.” Government was not intended to be the exclusive province of 535 members with virtually unlimited powers. The government belongs to the people, not lobbyists, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC or any of the other Erebusic political knaves both male and female.  And it is time we took it back.

Our Founding Fathers realized that when Jefferson penned, “government [derived its] just powers from the consent of the people.”

The outrage being voiced by the MAGA movement and various other patriotic groups is justified.

There is one constant in the universe that cannot be argued, and it is that “power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Nowhere is that more obvious than it is with the U.S. Congress and industry bailouts. While Barron Acton concluded his now-famous quote with, “Great men are almost always bad men” – one can easily argue that, in Congress, there are no great men (or women), just 535 varying degrees of badness.

To that point, even the aforementioned would be hard-pressed to exhibit a more truthful example of Acton’s quote than Democrats and activist judges are currently acting out pursuant to Elon Musk and D.O.G.E.  The amalgamation of complicit irresponsibility, graft, misappropriation, fiscal mismanagement by so-called leaders and facilitated by a calculating, self-absorbed, power-craving government, i.e., a Congress that has been eagerly willing to behave in whatever way that would best entrench its interest.

The future of our children and grandchildren hangs in the balance of the actions we take today. As Ronald Reagan said, “You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.”

No longer can we afford to sit passively by, allowing the creeping intrusion and usurpation of our government to continue. We must not allow ourselves to be silenced or intimidated by those who owe their existence to us. We must not allow those in office to infiltrate our various organizations. We must be willing to sacrifice our all to rid ourselves of this presence of government that has become destructive unto the ends for which it was instituted. It is our right to alter and/or abolish it, and to put in place new representatives considerate of our rights, safety and well-being. Our Founding Fathers would expect nothing less.

That is why we must support President Trump and those he has assembled around him.  We must hold the betrayers of the Constitution, and our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness accountable for their treachery.
