Thank you for your service. Now you’re fired. I was surprised to learn that 25% of the VA workforce are VETS! Yes. Really. And TOM wants to can 80,000 people from the VA. The care given to those who, by definition, pledged to put their lives on the line for our country is going to be severely compromised. What a kick in the teeth that is. If you’re currently in the military and watching this all happen, what is your thought process? “Seems I don’t matter that much. Seems I’d be better off on the outside. Seems there’s a one way relationship going on here. Me giving everything. TOM and Co taking it all and then some.” So I’m curious, with all of the anger and discord that TOM is sowing across the world currently, does he not think he’s going to need a strong military? And if those weighing the option of enlisting and/or re-upping are paying attention (and I’m pretty sure they are) I think there’s going to be a math error in our future. I.e. need to defend ourselves and no one to do the defending. Maybe TOM will dump his suit and adopt green fatigues in solidarity with our forces (like Zelensky). Naaaahhhh. Even I can’t write that without laughing.

“Democrats are here to say in unison we will not allow our veterans to be defined as government waste,” said Rep. Katherine Clark, the No. 2 ranked in House Democratic leadership, at a news conference.” That about says it all. DOGE has put the VA and our servicepeople in the category of gov waste and abuse. The only abuse occurring is coming the from the gov that relies on these patriots to keep us safe. But who will keep them safe?

An interesting ruling arose from the SCO-TOM . They sided against him, yes how DARE they? But they did rule against The Orange Demon. “By a 5-4 vote, the court rejected an emergency appeal from the Republican administration, while also telling U.S. District Judge Amir Ali to clarify his earlier order that required the quick release of nearly $2 billion in aid for work that had already been done.

Although the outcome is a short-term loss for President Donald Trump’s administration, the nonprofit groups and businesses that sued are still waiting for the money they say they are owed. Organizations in the U.S. and around the world have cut services and laid off thousands of workers as a result.”

And while he continues to play ping pong with our financial lives, TOM gave Mex and Canada a one month reprieve from auto tariffs to which the stock market gave a rousing round of applause. But really. People must have patches of hair pulled out all over their homes which they on alternate days either rip back out or glue back on. TOM really is the puppet master. Let’s pull on this string and see what happens. Ohhhh that was fun. How do I make that little jump higher….oh! pull this other string. “Jump my little puppets, jump!”
