It didn\u2019t start that way; cartoonist Thomas Nast portrayed Republicans as such in a number of different settings, some not so kindly. Elephants are also noted for their excellent memory. I don\u2019t think that that particular elephantine talent always translates to the Republican Party. It should. It better.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the Trump-Musk BullDOGEr has crushed and chewed its\u2019 way into the Deep State Swamp the rats are scrambling. Leftist\u2019s wails and screams and gnashing of teeth are music to my ears. They are attempting to fight back, of course. This time President Trump and Elon Musk are far better prepared not just to do battle but to eviscerate their opposition. Good for them.<\/p>\n<p>There is a new book out, you might have seen it advertised \u2013 I\u2019m reading it now and comparing it to the revelations being exposed by The BullDOGEr.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal that is Manipulating The Federal Government\u201d was published and released before the BullDOGEr got started but it reveals the tentacles and kudzu like morass of NGO\u2019s, government agencies and dark money from the likes of George Soros. Possible also from Satan, though it\u2019s hard to tell the difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWoketopus\u201d is one of, if not THE, most researched and footnoted books I\u2019ve ever read. It follows the money trail from and through the government to all of the myriad Marxist agencies infecting our government.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and Musk are making fabulous \u2013 and frightening \u2013 progress in slashing both the size of government and fraud, waste and abuse. We can hope that their efforts will be long lasting.<\/p>\n<p>Yet I fear that Republicans (not to mention the general public) will not long enough remember what has been done to our Republic that they are having to undo. Marxists are nothing if not tenacious. They play the long (and dirty) game. They are not like a simple weed that can be plucked from the lawn or garden and discarded forever.<\/p>\n<p>No, they are more like kudzu or Poison Ivy, that even after being cut, sprayed and pulled, the tiniest remnant will return to infest the lawn and garden, stealing the strength and sapping the energy of the honest bureaucrat (yes, an oxymoron. Though a few might exist. Like unicorns.) who is actually trying to spend our hard-earned tax dollars wisely and efficiently. (You have no idea how hard that concept is for me to grasp. Or type.)<\/p>\n<p>We MUST remember. We MUST insist on transparency. We MUST refuse to sit back and expect this lesson to be learned. Because the Donkey party is stubborn. They are obnoxious. And they will fight back. They must be treated like General Sherman treated Georgia. On second thought \u2013 compared to what the Marxists deserve, Sherman was too kind.<\/p>\n<p>ciao<\/p>\n<p>The Snark<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember the Elephant The symbol of the Republican Party is an elephant, representing dignity and strength.
