Veni, vidi, vici, said Caesar: “I came, I saw, I conquered.” Well, Trump, of his first week, could well say: “I spoke, I signed, I listened.”
This is a bit long, this one. But it is about Trump, so you should not be bored.

The greatest week of a beginning presidency in history. 95% is perfect. EO’s, the energy, the attitude, the rolling back of the Demon party’s planned destruction of the Excited States. DEI, queer/tran fascism, the border, illegals, EV’s, J6, Climate cult, WHO etc etc all being addressed, attacked. Love it.
The only caveat – meeting with Kill Gates and apparently waxing enthusiastic over stabs and mRNA. Tells me he is still partnered with criminal Pharma and that Operation Warped Drugs was not an accident. Strangely Tronald still does not understand that the Corona plandemic was to enable a steal of the 2020 election (he says the election was stolen but does not equate the plandemic with the theft. Weird).
Other than that his team was 1000% ready unlike 2016. Quite an amazing presidency thus far.
Let’s hope RFK Jr gives him a copy of his book on Fauci and sets him straight on vaccines.
“There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
is bound in shallows and in miseries.”
W. Shakespeare, “Julius Caesar”, Act IV
Cited by W.S. Churchill in rounding off a staff memo in July 1943:

Trump did say later that there were two sexes and not two genders.
Tons of comments in this thread, mainly USA people
What’s your favorite Executive Order so far?, by Steve Sailer – The Unz Review
AnotherDad is always worth reading – very pithy
“It is hard to imagine “a British Prime Minister filling a stadium with adoring fans to witness the signature of memos instructing Whitehall to do this or that”.
Farage probably could. But he’s the only one.
Excellent article.
Shouldn’t it be: I listened, I spoke, I signed?
Or, I listened to what people said they wanted, I promised I would do it day one when elected, I delivered on my promise on day one.
Can this be done in the UK?
1) Separate Executive from Parliament. Parliament is supposed to be between the Executive and the People to protect them from the Sate, but it has become both game-keeper and poacher. It dues nit, cannot fulfil its original intended rôle.
2) That means electing an executive president.
3) Get rid of the civil service.
Note: the US Founders modelled the prospective Government on the UK… King (executive)/President selected not hereditary, Parliament/Congress scrutineer of proposed legislation and holder of the purse strings to keep the king in check, a judiciary independent of King and Parliament and an updated, rewritten, English language version of Magna Carta.
They also enshrined independence of local government, sovereign, and not direct central government.
We can do it. If we can be bothered – or just muddle on with the current State-dependency, quasi-Socialist/Fascist form of pretend democracy.
Parliament is supposed to hold the Executive to account but how many MPs are part of the Executive or have ambitions to become so and therefore do not represent their constituents. They will vote with the Government at every turn. The Harrogate Agenda addresses this by making the post of Prime Minister an elected one. And, no that does not make it the Head of State. The ministerial posts are then employed to create the Cabinet and hopefully that means that they will know what they are doing and if they fail they are sacked and replaced.
Week two of President Trump’s executive orders has seen heads roll. Federal funding of security for people like Anthony fauci removed. Heads of gov’t depts physically removed Shen they refused to go. Federal workers ordered back to work, no mire working from home in your pajamas. Many offered 8 months salary to just go away. Available via a brief dmail. Tom Homan has now returned over 1,500 illegal immigrants to their country of birth, more to come. So much more to come.
Shocking contrast to here in the UK.
“… exhausted volcanoes.” A brilliant visual metaphor that made me laugh out loud.
