Look back to Jan. 19. America was in big trouble. Biden was lobbing missiles deep into Russia. The deficit was piling up at $2 trillion a year -- $2,000,000,000,000.00. On top of the $36.5 trillion debt -- $36,500,000,000,000.00. The Ukraine war was dragging on, killing by then as much as 1.5 million Ukrainians and 100,000 Russians. The Middle East was in turmoil, albeit it got better on Jan. 17 when Trump, even before taking office, arranged a cease fire to swap Hamas’ hostages for prisoners held by Israel. I could go on.

Fast-forward to today. Trump is negotiating a new détente with Russia, ensuring we don’t nuke each other. He’s resolving the Ukraine war, one way or another, ignoring the shrieks of the chickenhawks in both parties. We’re going to find out soon who, beside Zelinsky and the Biden Crime Family, got the $350 billion of our money. Zelinsky said half can’t be accounted for. Where is it?

Elon’s DOGE also uncovered USAID money went to the New York Times, the Financial Times, Reuters, Politico and other media outlets. All were not “independent media,” but mouthpieces for the Biden regime.

DOGE continues to dig out the massive waste, fraud, debt and abuse run up by both parties. Check the National Debt Clock. In addition to listing the debt, it shows DOGE has saved $116,974,924,122.00 so far – and rising. It’s a start. Elon said he could save $1 trillion. That leaves another $1 trillion to cut.

Trump even is talking about cutting the defense budget and working out nuclear arms reductions with Putin, Xi and Modi. These are the new Big Four, much as in World War II the Big Four were the United States (FDR/Truman), Russia/Soviet Union (Stalin), the UK (Churchill/Atlee) and China (Chaing Kai-Shek). We see pictures of the first three at Yalta or Potsdam, but Chiang was part of it, too. India still was under the Raj. Nowadays, swap out the UK, a weak power, and put in the leader of India, independent since 1947, now the world’s most populous land at 1.5 billion and a major nuclear power.

The UN also is going end up including India in the Security Council. It has eclipsed not only the UK, but France. But Trump’s new Big Four will be circumventing the UN. That’s just the reality, like it or not. For now, the Big Four are going to be ruling the world for decades. Marco Rubio used the word “multipolarity,” which has been bandied about for years, including on my blog. It replaces “unipolarity,” or U.S. hegemony, or being “the sole remaining superpower,” all phrases from the 1990s, a long time ago. I’m working on a concept called “Quadpolarity,” meaning the Big Four. More anon.

This is the real Trump. In his first term, he tried to govern like Reagan, trimming waste here and there and making deals with Democrats in Congress. But this ain’t 1981. And since then we had RINOs (Republicans and Name Only) Bush I and Bush II, who vastly increased spending. Democrats are pointing out Clinton, helped by VP Al Gore, in the late 1990s actually did cut spending and balanced budget. Indeed, give them credit. They did it with Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Then Bush II went on a domestic spending spree faster than even that of LBJ and his Great Society giveaways – even as Bush’s Iraq War blew $7,000,000,000,000.00, while blowing up the Middle East.

Trump 1.0 made some improvements, but he was attacked for the Russiagate Hoax and for other reasons. This time we’re seeing how Trump operated when he took over a failing company. He sent in sharp lawyers and accountants and overwhelmed the other business team, forcing deals on his terms. This time he means business, knows where the levers of power are and is de-funding them.

The vast gravy train that funded the Blob, as the Establishment/Deep State is being called, is being cut off its dependence on our tax dollars. Billions and billions will be saved. That will cut their funding, all the money they stole from us to fund their propaganda and manipulations.

To conclude, I’ve long said we’ll know reform is happening when D.C. finally suffers a recession. When times are good nationally, the tax dollars flow in and Washington blows it all. When a recession hits the country, D.C. expands to dole out all the welfare money. It always grows – like the Blob in the classic Steve McQueen horror movie.

Here’s a ZeroHedge headline: “Washington Recession Begins: DC Active Home Listings Soar, Jobless Claims Spike As DOGE Drains Swamp.” Finally, the Blob that has abused us for more than a century is shrinking. It “has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance,” as the Declaration of Independence charged of King George III, a petty tyrant compared to the Blob’s pervasive and corrupt autocracy.

And Trump is just getting started.
