US News - From War Mongers to Peace | DOGE Hysteria & More

March 20, 2025

From war mongers to peace—it's a tough pill for the media and politicians to swallow. Admitting they may have been wrong after years of fearmongering about Putin's global ambitions makes the idea of peace hard to embrace. Still, any ceasefire talk will likely come with strings attached, as Putin uses negotiations to secure more favorable terms. - Have we fallen into a trap of propaganda and bias simply because we dislike Putin or communism? - Since the collapse of the USSR in 1990, NATO has expanded eastward—driven by both Bush administrations' paranoia about communism, rather than pursuing unity. - Would the U.S. tolerate a Chinese military base in Greenland or Canada? Probably not. A neutral Ukraine and halting NATO expansion could bring peace for all. - It's ironic that critics claim Russia can't defeat Ukraine but simultaneously warn that Putin plans to conquer the world. - For a full breakdown, read this Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 , Part 4 series. - Also see this author profile and afterthought analysis —is the U.S. better off partnering with Russia than leaving it to China?

If nothing else works, just write a true story —at least according to conspiracy theorists. After Biden’s failed use of Nazi and Hitler rhetoric, now the so-called PayPal Mafia is being accused of apartheid sympathies, Nazi lineage, and dictatorship ties. - Since when did saving taxpayer money become criminal? - Learn more about Peter Thiel , branded the “mastermind” of it all. - And where were the reporters when Hunter's laptop surfaced?

Bernie and the Oligarchy —as Democrats push their Town Halls , Tim Walz joins in , perhaps in response to declining media viewership on the left. - Maybe Bernie should join Willie Nelson on tour. Not everyone may be thrilled about Bernie taking the stage, though.

Nostalgia —here's a fun clip on what cowboys ate during the 1800s cattle drives. About 7 minutes in: rattlesnake chili. - Beef wasn’t on the menu because cattle were too valuable to eat. - Hopefully MAHA isn’t watching—though it could be a timely reminder for Lent.

The DOGE hysteria has turned into full-on LAWFARE , driven by third-party advocacy , law firms , and a media frenzy. - Shouldn’t taxpayers be united in wanting to cut waste? It seems there are more voters who take than those who pay—or at least among decision-makers. - Explore these perspectives: doge.gov , opinions , more - Clinton (Gore) proposed it, Obama echoed it—but no one acted until “Big Ball” stepped in. - Burn Teslas or sell them—it’s another summer of protest. - Musk isn't leading the department; he's the brain. Amy Gleason is the actual leader. - Meanwhile, check out the state of Medicaid , USAID , and VOA. - Read the Newsweek overview. - Why was Erica Carr burning classified documents ? - And why is a federal judge ordering DOGE and Musk to disclose their plans ? Is it about transparency—or covering for someone else ?

The Media Mafia —the Gridiron Club , often referred to as the "club of clubs" for elite Washington reporters like those at The Washington Post , remains a self-serving institution. - It’s no surprise that the President received a cold shoulder—what value is there in attending when it's more about insider access than accountability?

It’s the suit now —you really have to wonder who elects some of these people. - With headlines driven more by optics than substance, are we seeing peak performative politics?

Human interference or climate change? The ongoing debate continues as new reports examine the origins of the latest California wildfires. - If negligence is a factor, maybe it's time for class-action lawsuits to bring accountability—and provide relief for FEMA and insurers alike.

The economy: Are we headed for a recession—or just a necessary reset? - What’s really wrong , aside from a bloated stock market that may need a correction? - The market was propped up by artificial confidence during the Biden years— - Perhaps even buoyed by strategic government-funded projects.

Government shutdown averted, but at what cost for the Democratic party ? Is the new generation of Democrats so ideological that it raises the question of renaming them "Dementor-crats," taking ideology to defy any logic . Their hatred for Elon Musk and Trump runs so deep that they end up contradicting themselves. There is no question that the budget deficit now requires immediate action —not more taxes that suppress overall spending, but policies that fuel economic growth and increase tax revenue. Immigration : With border crossings at near-zero levels , we now have an opportunity to implement a merit-based immigration system to attract the skilled labor needed to support reshoring efforts. While it may not reduce the overall number of immigrants, it would shift budgets—moving from dependency to immediate economic contribution. The skilled labor gap is a documented reality —there is no denying it. The Teachers Union continues to claim it's helping everyone, yet it’s failing to educate children. Anger over budget cuts distracts from years of waste, and most states arguably perform better. The U.S. education system is currently ranked #31 globally , yet—like many Democrats—the union blames everyone else for its failures. Despite ranking #1 in per-pupil spending , the system cannot deliver the diversity and choice families want. So, who are we listening to—parents or unions ?

Tariffs, Dogecoin, and the Popper Paradox: Navigating Trade, Tolerance and much more in 2025

Timothy Snyder is an American historian specializing in the history of Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust. His most recent analysis displays that " Hate" is not a good advisor .  But if you checked the Democratic representation during the Joint session of Congress , their body language suggested otherwise. As long as the Democrats are represented by "Dinosaurs" like Sanders, Waters, and Pelosi, even their strongest strategists may face challenges. James Carville , who is often outspoken, is shifting in rhetoric. Meanwhile, even a well-placed analyst will not change the overall impression . Her family farm was part of Hygrade Meat Company, founded by her great-grandfather Samuel Slotkin, who emigrated from Minsk in 1900. Hygrade was the original company behind Ball Park Franks , now owned by Tyson Foods . Chris Murphy commented via MoveOn.org but offered no solutions. Mary Trump , a psychologist, has long been a staunch critic of her uncle, frequently warning of the risks he poses. She said she was traumatized by his 2016 election win, fearing that he was uniquely ill-qualified to govern in a crisis. Let's follow all legal challenges for now. The Supreme Court has addressed the USAID ruling . Ultimately, the government will need to navigate these legal hurdles. Imagine: The endgame could be avoiding a Russia–BRICS alliance and instead fostering a Russia–US alliance, which could change the landscape of global peace. Given Russia and China's vast rare earth reserves, integration could be more beneficial than conflict. Gaza remains a focal point, and time will tell how the situation evolves. If diplomatic efforts succeed, we may see meaningful negotiations unfold in the near future.

Is Zelensky now running the world ? It appears so after his historic tantrum at the White House. Or is he merely a figure acting on behalf of the EU, Kaja Kallas, and European leaders (France, UK, Germany) to secure a seat at the table for “peace negotiations”? - Most likely, he is maneuvering to ensure continued EU support, including troops, while hoping that the EU convinces the Boltons of the US to send reinforcements as well. - Unfortunately for him, the US halted its advance in Berlin in 1945. Some on both sides may still be unhappy with that outcome. - Had Churchill and a real army continued, they could have pushed the Soviets back then. Note: The longer this conflict drags on, the only real losers are Ukraine and Europe. It's time for the US to explore trade agreements with Russia and South America. Accessing Russia via Alaska or Greenland remains an option. Should Europe be left to the Romans ? A Swiss newspaper featured an image of Mr. Murphy, who went on CNN after the meeting to ridicule JD and the President for their failure. Is he a traitor?
