I'm sorry, but it requires numbskull naivety to believe that Donald Trump is fixing what's wrong with America. Indeed, it requires numskull naivety to even believe that today's irreparable America is reparable. Take for example a story I heard on the news last night, which despite its preposterousness, will fail to arouse today's average American enough to even raise an eyebrow, since he or she has been conditioned to consent to such craziness.
Illegal immigrants, who've obtained illegal Commercial Driver's Licenses to drive 18-wheelers on our highways, are suing our federal government for revoking their illegally obtained Commercial Driver's Licenses. Of course, this out of control problem, which has been going on right under our government's nose, was finally brought to our government's attention when fatal accidents, caused by these unlawful Gear-Jammers, began piling up on our roadways. Now, to prove just how messed-up our country is, ask yourself the following question: "How can such a lawsuit be filed, when it not only flies in the face of our laws, but is being filed by people who have neither legal standing in our courts nor any legal right to be in our country?" Still, instead of being immediately dismissed as a joke, our courts, which have become a joke, will not only hear this case, but in all likelihood find in favor of these illegal Diesel-Doctors.
It's not just the state of jurisprudence in America today that serves as proof positive of our country's irreparability, but also our government's out of control spending, much of which goes for unconscionable waste, fraud, and abuse. Back in 2013, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul started issuing his annual Festivus Report, a year-end enumeration of the enormous wasteful spending of our federal government. Paul got the name for his annual report from a Seinfeld episode, in which the Costanza family celebrate Festivus, as an alternative to Christmas, by putting up an aluminum pole and airing out their grievances. Well, when it comes to Paul's 2025 Festivus Report, the Kentucky Senator has gobs of grievances to air out.
To begin with, according to Paul, $1,639,135,969,608 of our taxpayer dollars was wasted by our spendthrift federal government in 2025. By far, the largest portion of our government's wasteful spending went to pay the interest on our government's out of control wasteful spending. In 2025, our government spent $1.22 trillion on the interest to our $40 trillion national debt. Granted, the average American cannot even get his or her head around such enormous figures. Therefore, in an attempt to help you understand just how astronomical our national debt is, permit me to provide you with a couple of illustrations. First, if $1 trillion was divided among every American, each one of us-every man, woman, and child-would receive almost $3 thousand. Second, if every American, every man, woman, and child, was asked to pitch in to pay off our national debt, each one of us would have to fork over $120.000.00.
When it comes to the balance of our government's boondoggle spending, Paul found some real beauts. First, there was the $54 million sent to Wuhan, China to continue funding its risky gain-of-function research, which unleashed on our world the COVID-19 pandemic back in 2020.
Second, there was $200 billion in COVID relief funds scandalously spent on such things as stays at Caesars Palace, Major League Baseball stadium rentals, ice cream trucks, and Xbox consoles.
Third, $22.6 billion was doled out to illegal migrants, in order to provide them with startup money, to purchase things like furniture and to pay for things like car repairs.
Fourth, $2 million was spent to fund woke workshops in Central America, like one for “gender-affirming care” in Guatemala.
Fifth, $2.1 million was spent to survey attendees at electronic dance music festivals about their drug use.
Sixth, $936,000 was spent to inform drag queens and queer punks about sexually transmitted diseases.
Seventh, $244,252 was spent to fund a cartoon series in Pakistani that was designed to teach kids about climate change.
Eighth and finally, along with loads spent on other ludicrous things, like climate change cartoons in Pakistan, there was no lack of our taxpayer lucre wasted on critters as well. For instance, $77 million was spent on dolphin training, $14.6 million on monkeys gambling on video games, $5.2 million to dose dogs with cocaine, and $1 million to study the effects of binge-drinking on ferrets.
