Position Maintenance Tribunals

    If anyone has a question about the legality of removing a former government official from a position, the source of pay should be considered.  Government produces nothing.  Generally, the political positions are funded by taxes from a private individual's pocket, or inflationary cash from those who hold onto public money.

    There are only five legitimate sectors of government: police, military, judicial, diplomatic, and treasury.  All other government should be completely abolished.  In some cases, the five sectors will be overhauled partially, despite their fundamental legitimacy.  Examples of political fiascos that DOGE may want to look at are:

    (1) The weaponizing of the FBI against citizens including Trump

    (2) The Afghanistan pullout

    (3) Inviting Russia to invade Ukraine

    (4) Spoon feeding the war in Ukraine to make it last a long time

    (5) Giving Iran billions which led to October 7th in Israel

    (6) The fostering of the woke movement in the Armed Forces

    (7) Judicial rulings to sentence democrats' political enemies from Jan. 6th

    (8) Diplomatic threats to cut off military supplies to Israel

    (9) Causing inflation by printing massive amounts of money

    As I explained above, Trump and DOGE (if Trump authorizes it) have the authority to cut government positions.  Since when do bureaucrats who do bad things deserve a paycheck out of our money?

A DOGE Objectivist Philosophy

    The newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) should have a defined moral philosophy.  I am of the school of Objectivist Philosophy, developed by Ayn Rand, which stands for a political system that is a Constitutionally Limited Republic.

    Ayn Rand wrote in her book Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal in the Appendix chapter The Nature of Government the following quote:

"The proper functions of a government fall into three broad categories, all of them involving the issues of physical force and the protection of men's rights: the police, to protect men from criminals - the armed services, to protect men from foreign invaders - the law courts, to settle disputes among men according to objective laws."

    The most renown authority on Ayn Rand's philosophy, appointed by her as her intellectual heir before she passed away, explained that there would have to be two more department types for a moral Objectivist government to function - those being: diplomacy and treasury.  But that's it!  There is no further form of moral government.

    So, with legitimate government understood, it is easy to know what departments are DOGE Allies.  To begin:

    The initial question at DOGE should not be: "What does America cut in government?".  The first question should be: "What government departments does America not cut?".

A Federal State ID, DOGE, and Private Roads

    Immigration and future voting law is going to require State ID, whether that is a Federal State ID (i.e., an American Identification), or one or more of the current state's identifications.

    It has been said that illegal immigrants are a potential problem because: "we don't know who those people are".  Some could be criminals, terrorists, or foreign agents.  If an illegal alien has no ID, it is difficult for the police to relate to the immigrant or do their function.  If there is no photo, scannable data record, and address of residence, then the police are extremely limited.

    Yesterday, President-Elect Trump outlined his new plans for forming the Department of Government Efficiency.  I call DOGE: Dismantling Overblown Government Efficiently.  It is tasked with cutting government that should not exist.  Assuming government still retains its legitimate functions: military, police, judiciary, diplomacy and treasury, removing illegitimate government will bring great progress for Americans.

    When a typical individual is asked about what the embodiment of government inefficiency is, one often says: the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles).  They do provide a photo ID, but there shouldn't be driver's licenses.  A Federal State ID could cover the function of documentation and a picture that can be used in many situations: public or private.

    The argument for government driver licensing can be defeated if roads were made private.  All public roads (except the ones in legitimate government, such as at military bases) could be auctioned and the proceeds could be returned to prior income tax payers.  With present technology, private Road Tycoons can easily solve any problems that arise in running their road businesses.  Advanced GPS and the dawn of autonomous vehicles make conducting the auction timely.  The conversion of public roads to private property also creates a situation that if an individual obtains property from a bid on a road system, there is no law saying that the winner of an auctioned property has to keep all the roads as roads.  He could dig up the concrete in some road sections and build houses where those streets used to be.

    In future months I will be trying to help DOGE in the effort to restore a Constitutionally Limited Republic.  I think the greatest victories will be when entire departments that are identified as being completely illegitimate are eliminated.

Trump Should Say He Will Pardon Our Greatest Patriots Now

    The democrat cheaters robbed America of four years of economic growth and world peace.  When it became apparent that the democrats were conducting an insurrection that would take over the U.S. government, Republican patriots were sent forth to peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard.  It was unfortunate that instigators baited the Republicans into going into the Congressional building and making a minor mess.

    The democrats' response to this "January 6th Insurrection" led to mass arrests and incarcerations that were extremely unjust.  Basically, the argument behind all of the charges was that the democrats had to prosecute those individuals, otherwise they may not succeed in intimidating the rest of the U.S. population.

    These "January 6th Insurrectionists" are some of MAGA's greatest patriots.  I am glad that there has already been partial justice done since then.  But, it would be a grave tragedy if the ones still being incarcerated around the country are not let go as soon as possible.

    For this reason, I hope President-Elect Trump announces that he will be pardoning all of them once he is in office.  Any grounds that may be warranting continued imprisonment to the present day have long ago been paid.

Immigration Policy Before Day One

    As President Donald J. Trump follows up on his campaign promise to launch the biggest deportation operation in U.S. history, I think the Trump Administration is going to need a dose of realism.

    During the election campaign, I heard the Trump camp say that about 21 million illegal immigrants have come across our border while Biden occupied The White House.  When added to the number of illegal immigrants who were already here, they could be north of 40 million.

    Now, in Trump's deportation operation, perhaps he will transport 2 million people back across the border.  I don't see the government deporting more than that because of the cost.  To deport an individual illegal immigrant in a humane way, it often will require flying one to the country where that individual came from and chaperoning the person to one's town of origin.

    I want to congratulate Trump on his idea to have a mandatory policy of 10 years in prison if a deportee returns to the U.S.  I think that that disincentive to nullify the country's efforts will have a very positive effect.

    Now, there is a topic that I want to touch on - that being illegal immigrant law.  If there are 40 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. right now, as I suspect there are, and if the Trump Administration only has resources to deport 2 million, then there have to be policies in place on how the domestically residing illegals are to be treated.  I support completely cutting off all forms of welfare to illegals.  That would save an enormous amount of money.  But what would that do to the individuals in this country who are not going to be humanely deported?

    If America were to say: "You are here 5,000 miles from home with no money.  But we are not going to deport you, and neither will we let you work to support yourself financially."  Isn't that an incredibly malicious vice to put an individual into?

    For this reason, I advocate recognizing illegals' Freedom to Work and defining that as any productive activity that can be contracted with another person who one trades with.

    I see President Trump's point that illegal immigrants should not be rewarded for their border violating crime.  But if certain tens of millions of illegals are not going to be deported anyway, for benevolence sake, Let Them Live!
