The Price of Eggs and the Power of Words

The conversation around government efficiency and spending cuts is often misguided. It's not about making things run smoothly; it's about maintaining order and following the rules. Imagine if you caught some criminals in your neighborhood and brought them to the police. The police wouldn't praise you; they'd arrest you for taking the law into your own hands. This is similar to what's happening with government cuts. We shouldn't be asking if the cuts are targeting wasteful spending. We should be asking how these cuts are being made and who's making them. The price of groceries, especially eggs, was a big factor in the last election. People voted for Donald Trump because they thought he could lower the price of eggs. But has that happened? No, eggs are now twice as expensive as they were before the election. Some blame bird flu, others blame inflation. But the real issue is the people in charge. Trump's pick for Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , is against vaccines. If bird flu spreads to humans, more people will die. This is a direct result of Republican policies.Trump's policies on immigrants are often misunderstood. He's not targeting immigrants; he's targeting illegal entries. As a legal immigrant, this is a crucial distinction. The president has a mandate to protect the country, and that includes enforcing immigration laws. People who break the law risk capture and prosecution. This is how the system works. The comparison to the internment of Japanese Americans is irrelevant and offensive. The current political climate is alarming. We're seeing an attack on democracy like never before. In the past, there was bipartisan opposition to lawlessness. Today, the guardrails are being dismantled. We must sound the alarm to defeat this coup. The silence of GOP senators is a wake-up call to all Americans. They're willfully complicit by their inaction and silence. The degree of head-in-the-sand capitulation by Republican senators should serve as a wake-up call to all Americans. The current administration is dismantling our democracy. Governing by presidential decree, threatening our allies and neighbors, making a mockery of our existing laws and Constitution are not democratic actions. These actions strongly contradict the oath of office, to uphold and protect the Constitution. The illusion of reducing government bureaucracy, “saving the country, ” is in reality consolidating all power to one man. Simply, his ball, his game, his rules, the majority of Americans be damned.
