Welcome to the 2^nd American Revolution. While liberals scream obscenities from the streets over what President Trump is doing, and while the liberal elite issue talking points memos to their propagandist media instructing them to claim we’re in a “constitutional crisis,” there is actual historical precedence for what DOGE, under the watchful eyes of Elon Musk is doing.

Liberals, of course, don’t want you to know this, and since nobody else is talking about it, I’ll be happy to be the source of leaking to you.

Remember how our 1^st American Revolution started? I’m asking rhetorically for those who were educated rather than indoctrinated because the former group knows what was never taught to the latter group, but to be clear, it all started with the Pine Tree Riot in 1772. 50 years prior, the British Crown made it illegal to cut down white pine trees larger than 12 inches in diameter in New Hampshire in order to reserve them for use as Royal Navy masts.

On April 13, 1772, Sheriff Benjamin Whiting and Deputy John Quigley came across a sawmill in Weare, New Hampshire, that was in violation of the law. The Sheriff and his Deputy arrested Ebenezer Mudgett, then released him on bail. The next day, Mudgett, not at all impressed with being arrested for cutting trees to be used by locals rather than by the King’s navy, and twenty of his friends attacked the Sheriff and Deputy at the Quimby Inn. To be fair, the Quimby Inn wasn’t anything like a Holiday Inn…the Quimby Inn was a pub. Mudgett and his men nearly beat the Sheriff and the Deputy to death before running them out of town on horseback.

The Pine Tree Riot became the inspiration for the Boston Tea Party where things went from a slow simmer to a rolling boil which is generally considered to be how the American Revolution got started, but to be clear, both events were about one major point…taxation without representation…which led to the Revolutionary War, which we won, thus leading to the Constitution.

How this plays into what has liberals screaming obscenities in the streets is really quite simple. For decades, our own government has been taxing us CLAIMING to represent We The People, but as DOGE is exposing, what’s really happening is that our own government is taxing the HELL out of We The People but USING our money for whatever they want and HIDING the overt waste, fraud and abuse FROM We The People.

That sure does sound like the same sort of taxation without representation that lit the fires of the 1^st American Revolution to me, and today’s American liberals are as pissed off in 2025, aS the British were after not getting their tea in December, 1773 not to mention how snooty they got after 1776. What people realized then is the same thing we realize now…that’s OUR money, and YOU are NOT representing OUR best interests when you steal it from us for YOUR OWN enrichment.

One would think the screaming liberals would understand that, but they clearly don’t. Take congressman Emanuel Cleaver, the elected liberal from Missouri as exhibit “A”. Just over a week ago, there he stood, screaming in the street about DOGE and Elon Musk. Cleaver said, “TAKE YOUR MUSTY HANDS OFF OUR MONEY!!”

Obviously, Cleaver, like the rest of the screaming mob, thinks those taxpayer dollars are THEIR money. That’s NOT their money…that’s OUR money, and we have a right to know exactly how it’s being spent. To put an even finer point on it, while these screaming mad liberals are claiming that what DOGE is doing is “UNCONSTITUTIONAL,” the exact opposite is actually true.

What DOGE and Elon Musk are doing is exactly what is spelled out in USC Article 1, section 9 Clause 7, in that NO money shall be spent except by law and a REGULAR STATEMENT AND ACCOUNT OF THE RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES of all PUBLIC MONEY…We The People’s money, shall be published.

Neither elected liberals, nor the liberal elite want you to see those receipts. They don’t want you to know how your money is being spent, and they absolutely do not want to be accountable to anyone but themselves for what they are doing with your money because they want you to believe that THEY are better stewards of OUR money than WE are.

Here are a few other things they hope We The People have forgotten.

Liberals claim that Elon Musk shouldn’t be in charge of DOGE and snooping into how they spend OUR taxpayer dollars because he wasn’t elected. Well, let me remind them that absolutely NONE of the more than a million federal employees who are laundering OUR taxpayer dollars for the growing list of malfeasance were elected either, and for that matter, I never heard these liberals screaming about the power given to Tony Fauci a few years ago.

Liberals claim that 19 year olds and 20 something year olds should NOT be auditing our nation’s books because they’re too young, but let me remind them that just a few years ago, they were the ones INSISTING that we all follow the absurd policy mandates of a 13 YEAR OLD GIRL, who had dropped out of middle school to lecture the world regarding the weather. In fact, Obama sought out her advice.

Liberals think it’s against the law to fire federal government employees who don’t want to go into the office and work, but let me remind them that they are the same group that saw nothing wrong with firing 10,000 pipeline workers and thousands of coal miners a few years ago, who DID want to work. What was that they told them at the time? Oh yes…”learn how to code.”

So, what exactly IS the goal of DOGE, President Trump and Elon Musk? Simply to make our government more affordable, more effective and more consumer friendly. The idea is to run the government more like millions of Americans run their businesses. The idea is to use better technology to reach faster results and better services. Primarily, President Trump wants to use DOGE to eliminate some agencies, merge others, and reorganize the federal government to create a better America. When it comes to government agencies, if you have too many in charge of how taxpayer dollars are spent, no agency is really in charge of anything. Control at that point is handed off to the bureaucracy. Obviously, one primary task of making America great again, is removing unnecessary and over-burdensome regulations. All of this of course has today’s liberals screaming in the streets, hurling obscenities and foaming at the mouth…BUT…

That is EXACTLY what Barack Hussein Obama CLAIMED needed to be done on February 7^th, 2011.

Last week, it all got too real for liberals to handle. As DOGE moves swiftly from agency to agency, giving each one a colonoscopy, they finally arrived at the hallowed doors of none other than the IRS. Terrified liberals, like California congressman Jimmy Gomez said, “This is a five-alarm warning. Elon Musk has been after your personal financial info from day one. His actions are illegal and a blatant power grab. The GOP majority must join Democrats to stop Musk from stealing taxpayer information. If not, they’ll be to blame for any leak, abuse or theft.”

First of all, Elon Musk doesn’t need anybody’s personal information for his own purposes as he seems to be pretty well off financially as it is. Second, we’re talking about the agency that was weaponized under Obama’s watch to target the liberal’s political rivals. And third, the IRS, as a federal agency tasked with extracting our hard-earned money for distribution throughout the rest of the federal government for the growing list of corruption and waste DOGE has so far exposed, is completely unaccountable for how they launder the money of We The People.

More than 10 years ago, an IRS whistleblower provided the IRS Inspector General a list of 9 witnesses to IRS misconduct, and years later, not even one of those witnesses were ever contacted.

And finally, there’s this…

Since 2006, the unaccountable IRS has supposedly spent $35.2 MILLION dollars of OUR money to purchase guns, ammo and military-styled equipment. In fact, the unaccountable IRS now has their very own stockpile of better than 5 MILLION rounds of ammunition. Why? With whom exactly is the IRS engaged in a hot, shooting war?

Let me put this into its proper context…IRS Criminal Investigation Agents are the ONLY agents in the IRS who are allowed to be armed, and as of last year, there were exactly 2,290 such agents within the IRS. That means that each CI Agent has at their disposal, 2,183.4 rounds of stockpiled ammo. Furthermore, given that since 2006, 35.2 million taxpayer dollars have been spent on weapons and ammo, each one of those 2,290 agents is equipped with $15, 317.18 worth of weaponry. That seems to be a whole bunch of firepower for an agency primarily staffed with pencil-pushing, dust-sniffing yahoos.

I suspect the real reason why slobbering, rabid liberals like California’s Jimmy Gomez don’t want DOGE auditing the auditors is because Musk will probably discover some pretty dark corruption and/or kickbacks, waste, fraud and certainly abuse within the IRS just like DOGE is finding in each and every agency it probes. To date, they have uncovered hundreds of billions of dollars of such malfeasance and through direct cuts and cancelled or renegotiated federal contracts, saveD nearly 60 billion taxpayer dollars.

Democrat voters, your party of screaming liberals are gas-lighting you, lying to you, and hoping you never find out the truth, because day by day, hour by hour, the corruption within our federal government, and the theft of our taxpayer dollars is being exposed.

Remember, this is OUR money, not the government’s money, and the party of screaming liberals is hell-bent on protecting the waste, fraud, abuse and outright THEFT of our taxpayer dollars to enhance themselves, and their party’s agenda rather than enriching our nation, and thus enriching We The People.

Keep it up liberals, and the 2^nd American Revolution will end as well for you as the first one did for the Brits.
