Oh boy…so much to write about…most of which you already know and have seen on the news. But there is at least 10 times that much below the surface…and almost all of it ain’t good. If you want to skip the fluff, you can go right to the “summary” if you wish.
I will try to give you enough details to back-up what I am saying but not so much material to bore you to pieces.
Topis to cover in this SitRep:
- Trump & Musk Plan Working
- Economy
- Europe
- Crime & Violence
- Illegal Alien Gangs & Push Back
- Politics
Trump & Musk Plan Working –
Yes, the Trump/Musk is working. The obvious is shrinking the government, and it is working; working for how long might be a good question to ask. They have the Dems’ organization working against them, they have the federal employee unions working
against them. They have most judges working against them, including the SCOTUS for the most part. They have the federal bureaucracy working against them. They have many Repubs working against them. And they have internal Administration members working against them…as in Cabinet level officers. And they have the FBI, CIA, NSA, and most of the Pentagon and military-industrial complex working against them.
I could be wrong, wholly or partially, about the military-industrial complex. Since Trump and Vance are both very pro-big military guys, the military-industrial complex may be with them. Especially when they are talking HUGE spending programs like the “Golden Dome”.
How long Trump, Musk, & Vance can battle all of those opponents and still score enough “wins” is up for debate. The forces arrayed against them are greater than the mortal forces with them.
And yes, stating the obvious, they have most of the world leaders and the world’s elite working against them as well.
Economy –
The economy is in horrible shape…a leftover from the Biden/Harris regime. And yes, it was absolutely intentional that those two traitors, along with their conspirators, left it that way.
Trump is NOT making the economy any better. Inflation is up considerably. Of course, inflation right now is not Trump’s fault but he isn’t bringing it down immediately as he promised. But it was a hollow and unrealistic promise to begin with…and he knew that when he made that promise.
Look, the S&P is down 6% since Trump was sworn in…and that ain’t good. Oil futures are down 13%…and that might sound good. However, the price of gasoline at the pump is basically unchanged. Those two price indices combined paint a bad picture. We are paying the same price at the pump but speculators are expecting the demand of oil to be much lower in the very near future. What does that tell you? To me it whispers…economic downturn. I hope and pray my opinion is wrong.
Then there are the tariffs…I think there should be reciprocal tariffs; that is only fair. But there will be economic pain as the country gets use to it. The question is how long the pain will last and how painful it will be. It is nobody’s guess, anybody’s guess, at this point. And the economy will suffer till we adjust.
Unemployment was up 11% in 2024 over 2023. That is significant. The January 2025 unemployment rate is now up as well. Granted Trump is not at fault for either number. But what it does show is this…the economy is hurting big time. And if Trump/Musk government employee firings and layoffs continue unabated…unemployment will get bloody and the corresponding economic numbers will suffer as well.
The economy is all but a wreck. The question is how big of a wreck will it get.
Europe –
Europe, more specifically the European Union is a mess…and getting worse. Not only do they have a war in their midst, Islamic terrorism is rising. And they are really starting to feel the pressures of their illegal and legal
immigration policies/problems. And it will get far, far worse in the months and years ahead.
Germany in particular is living on unstable ground. The rise of nationalism and ultra-nationalism is gaining strength. Many sectors of traditional German society are finally rejecting the radical left and protesting the massive immigration problems. Along with a sharp rise in terror attacks by immigrants, it is combining to make an explosive situation just begging for a nationalist strongman to come along. And that didn’t work out well for them the last time…or for the world.
Crime & Violence –
Crime and violence in the US is spiraling out of control…and the vast majority of that increase is coming from the illegal alien invasion. You can say/think what you want…or the radical left and media can say what they want…but the facts and
evidence clearly show that the rapid increase in violence and crime in the US is coming from illegal immigrants.
The real problem looming on the horizon is this…the radical law & order freaks. The “snap back” or “pendulum swing” of increased law & order could easily be even worse than the increase in crime and violence. Why? It’s called authoritarianism…this is just what the elites want and have been planning for. Why else do you think they allowed the invasion?
Illegal Alien Gangs & Push Back –
At some point we will see a significant upswing in violence from the criminal gangs in the US…almost exclusively the illegal alien gangs. They will push back like they do in their own/previous countries. Gangs such as MS13, Tren de Aragua, Surenos, Paisas, and 18th Street will lash out at some point fairly soon. They won’t tolerate the unopposed ICE raids. Why? Those raids affect their power and ability to make money.
Along with that…we can’t ignore the retribution that is occurring, and will increase, from the drug cartels. Their enforcers/gangs are organized, well-armed, and ruthless. As ICE and the DEA crackdown on them…you can count on an increase in retaliation.
Politics –
Politics is a HUGE mess right now. You might think Trump has won the day and rules Washington. Ah, no.
The political scene is a mess, a big bloody brawling mess. You have the standard Dems vs Repubs. But you also
have Dems vs Dems, Repubs vs Repubs, establishment vs outsiders, and a whole host of folks and groups fighting each other. Kinda like brother vs brother. And it will get worse…much, much worse in the days ahead.
The normal political apple cart has been tipped over, then flipped, then upended, then rolled over…and is in the process of being crushed. Trump is behind much, maybe most, of it but no doubt he is in the middle of it. What appears is happening is only the tip of the iceberg. And in defense of Trump…I honestly think he is doing what he feels is right, I do. But there is a much, much larger game being played…and he is playing into their hands. The hands of the true power players.
And if you think ALL of this is a good thing…well, no offense intended…you are out of your freaking mind!!
The chaos and instability is creating power vacuums which are screaming to be filled with someone…anyone. And trust me…there are folks standing by to fill those power vacuums that are your worst dreams come true.
Summary –
This country is a complete mess right now, chaos rules. The economy is on the brink of collapse, politics is nothing but a mess, the in-fighting is in the red zone…and the rest of the world is being destabilized by all of it.
Are there good things happening? Yup, of course there are. But, all of it combined is creating nothing more than a huge, HUGE, mega chaotic and unstable mess. And when countries get in a mess like this, where chaos reigns and so many power vacuums exist, it rarely turns out well.
Now, more than ever, is the time to keep your eyes open and your ears to the ground. There is so much happening behind the scenes and in dark smoke filled rooms. And I am telling you…none of it is for the good.
If you think Trump has this all under control and that he is running it all his way and he is designing the future…you are wrong, dead wrong. Trump is only a player, a single player, in the game that is taking place right now. The real power players are in the shadows pulling the strings.
I am telling you under no uncertain terms…prepare yourself and your family.

Thanks for the insights. I too think Trump fully believes his ideas are the best for the country, or as I imagine he may describe them “the best ideas anyone has ever seen”. I’m not sure he would ever admit to any of his ideas ever having missed the mark or even in hindsight been wrong. I don’t think admitting failure about anything is in his DNA.
The euphoria and praise coming from pundits on the right for everything he does is not dissimilar to the adulation the left heaped on Obama when he came to power. Remember Chris Matthews saying even the ‘crease of his trousers sends thrill down my spine’ or some such nonsense.
Don’t get me wrong. I like most of what Trump is doing and I especially love the consternation it causes on the left. I know this is selfish immature indulgence on my part but after what the left has done towards the right it feels good anyway.
Even if Trump’s motives are pure and his objectives and tough love approach to the economy are warranted, I suspect relatively soon the pain of the consequences to his actions will have more than just the left howling disapproval, As a nation we are too pampered and spoiled to willingly pay any appreciable cost for long term improvement.
Please include me on your mailing list. Thanks.
