Promises Made Promises Kept
Tough Love or Playing Hardball, Government is Being Called to Account
Hi friends,
I’m sure you’ve seen and heard plenty of people talking about how awful President Trump and Elon Musk are - and Cabinet members too, lots of whining about how the administrative state needs all these people and programs.
President Trump promised to act for the good of America and Americans. And he is. It’s like a parent teaching a child about responsibility and consequences. For decades, ‘government’ has been ‘spoiled’ and gone completely off the rails.
And I have to say that I’m excited his appointees are doing what he’s asked them to. None (that I’ve seen) have been slow off the mark or half-hearted in taking charge and making a positive difference.
This recent step is impressive. If an employee is not productive, they are not needed.

If you are unfamiliar with Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), they use sleight of hand to pretend to be non-partisan charities, then presto-chango use the money for leftist ideals. (Likely, not all of them, but the ones with the big bucks from tax dollars, yep.)

One of the very worst, if not the worst, at taking advantage, and lying, and using the money to further their own purposes is Planned Parenthood. I bet most taxpaying citizens didn’t know their dollars have been paying for travel and other expenses for abortion-seekers. I bet they didn’t know that those dollars have been sent to foreign nations to provide abortions abroad.
Here’s a report about Planned Parenthood selling aborted baby body parts to University of California. November 2024.
Justice for Fetal Trafficking Crimes
Do you know the David Daleiden story? He went ‘undercover’ and got video about Planned Parenthood selling fetus/baby body parts from abortions. Planned Parenthood had the money and power to sic then-AG Kamala Harris on Mr. Daleiden. After a nine-year legal battle - lawfare - he is finally out from under it. (Thanks to defense by and donations to Constitutional rights legal group, Thomas More Society) There’s so much more to this, but the Fox News story, Undercover journalist who battled California over Planned Parenthood videos celebrates 'incredible' outcome, is the short version.
Here’s the Catholic News Agency article.
Americans have never had access to what’s happening in the government like we do now. You can follow at DOGE.gov or on X at https://x.com/DOGE.
Here are a few samples:
DOGE is being very transparent, and it’s encouraging to follow the updates. Do you know that DOGE is also taking tips from the public? So if you know any wasteful spending, you can tell DOGE directly.
Ukraine - oh, what a can of worms. You may have seen recently that Trump and Zelensky are having a ‘dustup’ as some call it. You can stay up to date on this situation by following Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth.

God bless you, God bless President Trump and team, and God bless America!
Stay calm - President Trump is a businessman who operates strategically, and not everything will make sense at first. His plan to shrink government and Make America Great Again is a process, not an overnight fix. Trust the long game, not just the headlines.
