They Are Coming After You

March 11, 2025 (Vol. 19 No. 12) - There's an old saying that you should be careful what you ask for because you may get it. The 77.3 million Americans (49.8 percent) who voted last November for Donald Trump indicated that they wanted someone to shake things up in Washington. Well, they have certainly gotten their wish. The first seven weeks of the Trump administration has shaken the federal government to its very core. However, only now the people who wanted this to happen have begun to realize how these disruptions will affect them personally. The Office of Personnel Management, following an edict from Department of Government Efficiency guru Elon Musk, has advised agencies to terminate 200,000 workers hired within the past year who are still on probation. Do you like to fly? The Federal Aviation Administration has laid off 400 employees, including maintenance mechanics and aviation safety assistants essential for passenger safety. If you are a veteran, you will feel the impact of the 10,000 Veterans Administration employees laid off and the additional 70,000 they plan to cut by June. Additionally, it has been reported that 175,000 fewer vets held jobs in February, partially attributed DOGE. That's because veterans make up a substantial portion of the federal workforce. If you receive Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid benefits, look out. DOGE's twenty-something trolls are rummaging through your private data. Musk and his minions justify this unwarranted interference on the basis of unsubstantiated claims of fraud in the Social Security Administration. Tiffany Flick, former chief of staff at SSA, says these actions, along with substantial layoffs within the agency, could result in the late delivery of Social Security benefit checks for the first time in their 80-year history. By the way, if you haven't heard, Elon Musk says Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme" and wants to do away with it. Trump and DOGE have committed so many reckless acts they are too numerous to mention here. But they affect the health, safety and general wellbeing of every American - including the 77.3 misguided Americans who voted for this dumpster fire. And don't get me started on the economy and the looming "Trumpcession." Bloomberg says Joe Biden left Felon 47 with the strongest economy in the world. In less than two months, Trump has made a mess of it. Foreign policy? Forget it. Trump has embraced America's enemies and shunned our friends. If you wondered who Trump and his Clown Cabinet would be coming after in their misguided effort to "Make America Great Again" - ignoring the fact that it was already great — now you know. Regardless of who you voted for, they are coming after you. That's it for now. Fear the Turtle.
