OUR HEARTS BLEED FOR KERRVILLE TEXAS & ENVIRONS:
Anne & I Have A Special Attachment To Kerrville Texas, Where a Number of Years Ago, Anne & I were Feted to a Large Luncheon Celebration for Ourselves because of What I Write & Advocate, from a Large Contingent of Kerrville Citizens, who Laid-Out the Red Carpet for Us with a Private Tour of Kerrville and their Unique City Museum.
Anne & I Love Texas . . . But We Also Love Just About All Of The United States Of America.
Given the Driving Distance to Texas from Southeastern Ontario where we Live & Spend our Summers, the Slightly More than 2000-Mile Drive to Texas Over Hill & Dale Has Become a Bit Too Much for us at our Tender Ages in our Mid Seventies.
Because Of The Distance, the More Challenging Drive to Get to Texas, and the Overall Cost of Texas in Comparison to Myrtle Beach, we Happily Settled for our Next Best Choice at Myrtle Beach, which is Only 1000-Miles from where we Live in Ontario, Driven on Relatively Flat Highways with the Exception of Pennsylvania.
But That Said . . . Given Our Choices, Regardless of Time, Distance & Money . . . We Would Always Choose Texas . . . And Hill-Country at Kerrville Would Be a Wonderful Choice . . . We Wish There Was Something We Could Do Other Than To Pray For The Speedy Recovery Of Kerrville & All The Texas Areas, Which Were Hit By This Dastardly Storm.
AMERICA ALREADY HAS A ONE-PARTY SYSTEM – IT IS CALLED THE UNIPARTY:
Even Though The Uniparty Is Not An Official Party, Make No Mistake About-It, the Uniparty, which is a Combination of Democrats & Republicans – are Not all that Much Different One from the Other When it Comes to Spending the People’s Money, While Running-Up Massive Unrepayable Deficits & Debts.
While It Has Become Obviously True, only because of the Surging Radical American LEFT, that the People can Finally See a Real Difference Between the Social Values of the Democrats Compared to the Opposite Values of the Republicans, which Have Become Significant . . . It Has Also Become Obvious . . . That Both Parties Are Overly Similar When It Comes To Spending The People’s Money With Near Reckless Abandon.
IT’S ONE THING TO TALK ABOUT DEMOCRACY – IT IS SOMETHING ELSE TO LIVE-IT:
The Enormous Deficits & Debts Are Debt-Slavery . . . As Musk Put-It.
Trump Threatens To Strip Musk Of His Citizenship, Remove Federal Funds from Musk’s Businesses & Deport Musk Back to South Africa, where Musk was Born, or Perhaps to Canada where Musk Holds Canadian Citizenship through the Nationality of his Mother, because Musk is Threatening Dire Political Consequences to Trump and to the Republican Party for Further Running-Up the National Debt.
Either Way . . . Isn’t This The Same Type Of Strategy & Tactics . . . the Democrats Used to Try & Usurp a Burgeoning Political Trump Campaign, as the Democrats Worked to Shame, Bankrupt & Imprison Trump? What Makes It Unconscionable For The Democrats To Stoop So Low, But Not For Trump To Suggest Doing Something Similar To Musk?
I Don’t Know The Intricacies Of The BBB, Other than the Basics of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, that it Removes Federal Taxes on Tips, Social Security & Overtime.
I Also Understand that it Funds the Completion of the Southern Border-Wall, Adds Thousands of New ICE Agents, and Finances the Expansion of the American Military, but there are so Many Other Nuances to Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill that I Could Never Understand, Including Most of the People Who Voted for it . . .
We Know That Trump’s BBB Is Certainly Big, but Only Time Will Tell if it is Beautiful. I am Praying for America, and by Extension Canada and the Rest of the World that it is Beautiful, In As Much As The Economy & Security Of The World Depends On It.
Had The BBB Not Passed, I am all but Certain that the Republicans Would Have Probably Lost either the House, the Senate or Both . . . In The Coming 2026 Mid-Term Elections, Which Would Have Been A Disaster For America & The World.
WHAT WAS DONE . . . WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO UNDO:
Unlike A Presidential Executive Order That Becomes Law Until The Next President Undoes The Order . . . Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill is Ensconced Within a Congressional Bill that Cements Trump’s Executive Actions to be Irrevocable, Making them Literally Impervious to Repeal by Future Presidents Without an Act of Congress.
AT ONE POINT – THE PIPER HAS TO BE PAID:
That Said . . . No Individual, Household Or Nation Can Exist With Withering Debt.
With Great Fanfare . . . Musk Signed Onto the Trump Make America Great Bandwagon to Eliminate as Much Unnecessary Debt as Possible. So, When Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Passed Adding an Additional Burden of Trillions of Dollars to the National Debt – Musk Felt Betrayed . . . Rightly-So Me Thinks.
But Musk Wasn’t Alone . . . Three Republican Senators & Two Republican House Members Voted Against the BBB. More Wanted-To Vote No, But Were Convinced Through Coercion & Other Means To Vote Yes.
Whether They Were Right Or Wrong For Whatever Reasons, Only Time Will Only Tell.
The Important Thing Is . . . As Much as I Wanted the BBB to Pass the Congress, it Would have Been a Disgrace if the People’s Representatives (Senate & House) Didn’t Have a Say in Making that Monumental Decision.
The Same Can Be Said About Elon Musk’s Decision To Oppose The Big Beautiful Bill, and Musk’s Decision to Form a Third Party . . . and/or to Target Selective Republicans in Districts & States Where they Would be Vulnerable to Democratic Defeat . . . Or To Fall To Musk’s New American Party.
Whether Trump Agrees, Disagrees, or Hates What Musk is Doing & Proposing to Do is Irrelevant, Because It’s Called Democracy.
Under The Basis Of Democracy – Either Everyone is Equal & Entitled to Reach for the Stars Without Exception, Whether the Stars are Out of Range or Not Amongst the Poor, Millionaires & Billionaires, Everyone’s Reach for the Stars Must be Equal . . . Otherwise, Democracy Would Just Be Another Word For Tyranny.
What Was Wrong To Do To Trump, Would Be Equally Wrong For Trump To Do To Musk.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

for myself I am just wondering if Carney and Polivere are discussing strategy with US negotiations?????
I personally feel Musk’s new party will attract only the IT elites & other ultra-wealthy who do not like DJT. I doubt it will pull off multiple-millions of DJT’s Nov 2024 voters, unless Trump loses his temper & does nasty things in response, which it’s looking like that at the moment. They’re both behaving like SPOILED BRATS used to getting their way. They both need to Grow Up & swallow a bit of that Pride – the world is watching & not liking what they see.
The USA is not a Democracy. The USA is a Constitutional Republic, with democratically elected representatives. Musk is unhappy because his government subsidized businesses are taking a cut , saving US taxpayers billions of dollars. Musk is also unhappy because he is all in for Big Tech, H1-B2Visas for his companies employees, rather than hiring qualified USA employees. Many have questioned how Musk attained USA citizenship. There’s nothing unique about President Trump researching this
In his BBB (now law) speech Trump mentioned the name Lisa 3 times. He was referring to Lisa Murkowski, the RINO Alaskan senator who was a hold-out and subsequently played a pivotal role in the Bill’s passage. Politics is a filthy game. Trump knows how to play it, but to do so he must soil himself just like the America-hating Demorrhoids.
Democracy, by definition, is anarchy! The word, itself, is way overused. The system leads to dictatorship, as we saw in Germany and the USSR. As far as Musk is concern, he is bitter for not getting a recognition as much as he believes he deserves for his work with DOGE.
I totally agree with the comment made by Myrna Thayne.
I like Musk’s revealing the massive waste in government, at the peril of almost loosing his grasp on Tesla. And I recognize that the Tea Party awakened conservatives. The ‘Musk’ party could awaken a resolve to pay off National debt. BUT: “TIME WILL TELL”. Let’s give the BBB time to do its job: Growing the economy so fast that it steamrollers a payback for its temporary debt increase. Musk has more than earned respect as an advocate for America as has DJT! Let the feuds be gone!
Musk is angling to be the next Ross Perot, fracturing the conservative vote and making a Democrat win happen. For all his supposed brilliance, he’s pretty stupid… unless that’s what he wants. Narcissism and ego are what drive both Musk and Trump. Who the hell knows where this will go?
You are correct Howard.
There is a lot to like in the BBB but we have 40 years of uniparty rot staring us in the face.20 years ago the Rs and Ds were at each other’s throat over 10 billion now a couple trill deficit is barely mentioned.When something can’t go on it won’t.The fiat money system is on it’s last leg,fasten your seat belt.
The American Party concept is much like every other alternative conservative effort since the U.S. Civil War but especially in the 1912 Presidential election where Theodore Roosevelt’s Progressive Party also known as the Bullmoose Party created a division within the Republican Party of William Howard Taft ushering in a liberal progressivism that began with the wide reaching vision of Woodrow Wilson affecting American and world politics from 1913 until then end of Joe Biden’s presidency.
“What Was Wrong To Do To Trump, Would Be Equally Wrong For Trump To Do To Musk.” Absolutely! Thank you! So, the BBB is now law, but the Republicans had best not be too puffed up. There’s much more to be done, and if they take their eyes off the ball . . . i.e., keep at least an equal amount of focus on the country as a whole as on your reelection campaign, please!
