The fraud within the United States government is so rampant that it is leaving Elon Musk shocked.

There is one that even the Babylon Bee would find far-fetched.

What they found will leave you livid:

“This town is now as nervous as it’s ever been.”  That’s Congressman Chip Roy’s assessment of the mood in Washington, D.C., since President Trump’s return to the White House.  It’s one of several dozen refreshingly blunt descriptions of American politics in Ned Ryun’s new documentary based on his book, American Leviathan.  The documentary is available to anyone with an Internet connection, and it is nothing short of a declaration of war on the administrative state.

I highlighted Ryun’s book when it came out last September for several reasons.  First, it is a remarkably clear description of the ideas, people, and events that led us to this unique moment in history — when the inevitable clash between the authoritarian bureaucracy and the constitutional Republic has come to a head.  There was nothing “natural” about this process.  The vast and unaccountable administrative state did not arise from the U.S. Constitution; it is a repudiation of the Constitution.  The unelected bureaucracy does not reflect the wishes of the American people; it is the polar opposite of representative government.  No matter how many propagandists defend Big Government as “our Democracy,” the ever-growing Leviathan is thoroughly authoritarian in disposition.  It jealously guards its expanding powers and despises American citizens who insist that legitimate government comes only from the consent of the people.  It is such an unnatural beast that it must spy on Americans, censor their speech, and intimidate them into submission merely to maintain control.  The administrative state is “government by coercion” and the antithesis of limited government and individual liberty.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin has rolled out 31 groundbreaking actions to dismantle the suffocating web of radical environmental rules strangling America’s economy.

These bold reforms advance President Trump’s Day One executive orders, promising to unleash American energy dominance, drastically lower living costs for American families, supercharge economic growth, and restore constitutional governance by empowering state authorities.

“Today, I’m pleased to make the largest deregulatory announcement in U.S. history,” declared Administrator Zeldin in a fiery video statement.

“The Environmental Protection Agency is initiating 31 historic actions to fulfill President Trump’s promise to unleash American energy, revitalize our auto industry, restore the rule of law, and give power back to the states.”

Earlier this month, new Secretary of Education Linda McMahon announced the Department of Education's "final mission": "Send it back to the states." McMahon says her goal is to put herself out of a job by eliminating the Department of Education. It didn't take her long to deal with the bureaucratic bloat. She said in a letter that nearly 50 percent of the department's workforce would be placed on administrative leave beginning Friday, March 21. This will take the department's staff down from 4,133 workers to 2,183.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is expanding beyond the federal government.

According to Newsmax, Republican governors and lawmakers in Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin are following the lead of the federal government and set up their own efficiency taskforces aimed at cutting government waste.

Among those is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has set up a “DOGE task force” to audit spending, reduce bureaucracy, and eliminate any remaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

“I am requiring state agencies to utilize AI [artificial intelligence] as a way to supplement our ongoing efforts to produce streamlined and cost-effective government,” DeSantis wrote on X earlier this week.

We have a government that is literally fighting against itself.  The federal workforce has always been more liberal than the population as a whole, but in recent years things have gotten really bad.  Prior to this year, Democrats had been in control of the White House for 12 of the past 16 years.  Over time, leftists that were hired for key positions just kept hiring more leftists underneath them.  In fact, it got to a point where DEI policies at various agencies essentially institutionalized the systematic hiring of leftists.  By the end of the Biden administration, leftist domination of most of our federal agencies was virtually complete.  But now we have a new administration that most of our leftist federal workers absolutely detest.  Many of them have absolutely no intention of cooperating with the new administration, and some of them have started to openly rebel against it.

President Donald Trump calls tariff "the most beautiful word in the dictionary." This refutes the orthodoxy of unilateral free trade championed for hundreds of years beginning with the 1776 "Wealth of Nations" author Adam Smith, widely known as the father of modern economics.

But economist Donald J. Boudreaux of the American Institute for Economic Research and former economics department chair at George Mason University writes Smith offered four exceptions to the principle of unilateral free trade: "These exceptions are, in the order in which Smith took them up, protective tariffs for purposes of (1) national security; (2) ensuring that imports are taxed by the home government no less than the home government taxes domestically produced goods and services that compete with imports; (3) pressuring foreign governments to reduce their tariffs; and (4) ensuring that workers in protected industries are not all hit suddenly and unexpectedly with the need to find new jobs."

LACAG and other Louisiana advocacy organizations, including Citizens For Election Integrity, We The People Northwest Louisiana, We The People Bayou Community, Convention of States, Louisiana Power Coalition, Louisiana Republican Assembly, Women’s Republican Club of New Orleans, and numerous others have been persistently raising the alarm about the acute vulnerabilities of ALL computer-based voting systems, including and especially Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs).

The best cyber security experts in the world have recommended outlawing their universal use once and for all. Alex J. Halderman, arguably the world’s foremost expert on election security, told the Louisiana Voting System Commission that BMDs have serious vulnerabilities that enable highly sophisticated cyber hackers to remotely access the voting machines and switch votes from one candidate to another:

“Universal use of BMDs is a major security challenge because if they are hacked they can misprint or alter votes. They are a large, attractive target to hackers, making attacks more likely.” Halderman added that “The attackers that I worry about are the attackers like foreign governments, and very sophisticated criminal gangs, the ones we read about in the newspapers who commit cyber fraud and manipulation… foreign governments have attempted to penetrate these machines and we have every reason to believe they will in the future.”

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has called for a long-overdue audit of the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox—something that hasn’t happened in nearly 50 years.

The demand comes as concerns grow over whether the 4,580 tons of U.S. gold supposedly stored in Fort Knox still exist or if bureaucrats and the Federal Reserve have been engaging in financial sleight-of-hand behind closed doors.

The call for transparency gained momentum when conservative news outlet Zero Hedge sparked debate on X, posting:

“It would be great if @elonmusk could take a look inside Fort Knox just to make sure the 4,580 tons of US gold is there. Last time anyone looked was 50 years ago in 1974.”

Musk quickly responded:

“Surely it’s reviewed at least every year?”
