Until I saw two specific video clips last week I was overwhelmed by the multiple, seemingly unending news about DOGE, USAID, liberal judges making up their own rules, etc. However, if I were in the Trump opposition there were two specific things that would really worry me.
First: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R, FL) announced she will lead the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.
Ms. Luna explained her task force’s goal will be to form “a new relationship between the government and the governed” and restore “trust through transparency.” Among other things, Luna announced a list of previously top-secret files to be declassified, disclosed, and released to America. Among these were the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK. But none of these three could potentially strike extreme fear in individuals as each of these three assassinations occurred many decades ago. However, releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files including the client list … potentially OMG for quite a few individuals on that list who are still alive. I cannot wait!
Second: in the Oval Office Elon Musk announced that DOGE plans to investigate public officials who somehow got rich in office despite their nominal salaries. He queried, somewhat rhetorically, how is it that some government officials have acquired tens of millions in wealth despite having much more modest salaries of a few hundred thousand dollars per year.
Musk said that the reality of this is that they are possibly getting wealthy at taxpayers expense. Potentially OMG for a number of some unexplainably rich individuals in government who have engaged in skullduggery.
I cannot wait!
