A Bold New Start for America
Telling the story of the return to American greatness.
Congratulations to you all for our success in the November elections. President Trump will return to the White House and continue the work of Making America Great Again. This newsletter will record the challenges and successes along the way.
The President’s detractors called us names, tried to minimize our impact, and generally treated us poorly. They called us Trumpsters and considered it an insult. It wasn’t. It was a rallying cry, which they learned in November.
Each week, we will come together here to share stories about the President’s success. We’ll be reaching out to you for your stories and opinions. We’ll also share news of the day. In this issue…

Elon, Vivek, and the Department of Government Efficiency: A Game-Changer for America
No one knows exactly where Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will begin once President Trump returns to the White House and kicks his new administration into high gear. But one thing is certain: there are plenty of career bureaucrats feeling the heat.
The President’s decision to tap Musk and Ramaswamy to lead the newly proposed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, is nothing short of brilliant. Of course, Congress will need to give the green light since it’s not yet an official federal executive department. But let’s be honest—any politician who dares to vote against making government more efficient is going to have some serious explaining to do come election time. After all, who’s against saving taxpayer dollars?
The best part? We’re already starting to see the wheels of efficiency turning—and DOGE hasn’t even been formally approved yet.
Here’s the cold, hard truth: back in July 2013, Eric Katz, a senior correspondent with Government Executive magazine, revealed that most major federal agencies were using just 25% or less of their headquarters’ capacity. That’s right—empty desks, empty rooms, and your hard-earned money being wasted on bloated real estate expenses. What did the Obama-Biden administration do about it? Absolutely nothing.
Actually, scratch that—they did do something. Instead of unloading these unnecessary properties, President Biden had the audacity to ask for even more money to “revamp” these government buildings. Talk about a slap in the face to the American taxpayer.
But now, the tide is turning. According to Weekly Real Estate News, the federal government has already begun putting eight office buildings up for sale. Yes, you read that right—it’s happening. Editor Phil Hall highlighted an announcement on DOGE’s official channel on X (formerly Twitter), which exposed the shocking waste of space in Washington, D.C. Apparently, federal agencies are only using about 12% of their headquarters on average. Twelve percent!
Hall’s reporting made it crystal clear: with the right leadership in place, even the deeply entrenched federal bureaucracy can be forced to clean house. And DOGE isn’t even operational yet! Just imagine what’s possible when Musk and Ramaswamy roll up their sleeves and start cutting through the inefficiency like a hot knife through butter.
This is the kind of bold, common-sense leadership that gets things done—the kind of leadership that makes America great again. If this is the tone being set for President Trump’s next term, it’s safe to say we’re in for one of the greatest comebacks in American history.
What do you think? Are you as fired up as we are about a government that actually works for the people? Let us know—we’d love to hear from you!

This week on Twitter/X
Elon Musk has begun the work of looking into government efficiency. And not a moment too soon.
The Federal government computers & software are in such bad shape that they often cannot verify that payments are not fraud, waste or abuse!
That’s why the government can’t pass basic audits. They often LITERALLY don’t know where your tax dollars went. It’s insane.
