Mission: Re-Privatize the Economy!

2/26/2025
Scott Bessent, Treasury Secretary, drops a gem: ‘Our goal is to re-privatize the economy.’ The real economy’s been limp, propped up by wasteful government spending and $36T in debt—without it, we’d be in a recession. Trump might pull a Reagan, taking short-term pain for long-term gain, but weak RINOs could balk. DOGE is hitting the bureaucracy hard—this is our shot to ditch public-private BS, regulatory capture, and Boeing-style flops. Less government, more freedom. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

2/26/2025
Revolution at the Washington Post! Jeff Bezos drops a bombshell email—opinion pages will now champion personal liberties and free markets daily. Leftist heads explode as editor David Shipley bails, unwilling to ditch socialism. Bezos says these American values—driving innovation and prosperity—are underserved. The internet’s got the rest covered. Trump ties? Media’s flailing—watch the chaos unfold. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

The Lying Liberal Media BECLOWNS Itself Again

2/26/2025
Mainstream media’s shameless—Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson are dropping a book, Original Sin, about Biden’s decline and its cover-up, out May 20th. The nerve! Tapper spent years on CNN denying Biden’s cognitive issues—now he’s cashing in on it. MSNBC’s purge rolls on: Joy Reid’s gone with her 30 staffers, and now Rachel Maddow’s team is getting axed. She’s raking in $15M a year—why not take a pay cut to save them, Ms. Anti-Capitalism? Hypocrisy stinks. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Defense Budget and Major League Baseball

2/26/2025
Europe’s promising big defense spending hikes—UK to 2.5% GDP by 2027, Germany eyeing 200 billion over years—but it’s all talk, no action. Keir Starmer’s stalling, Germany needs a constitutional tweak, and cuts to welfare? Fat chance. They’ll just keep leaning on U.S. taxpayers while loving globalist Joe Biden. Our $968B defense budget dwarfs China’s $235B and Russia’s $146B—yet we can’t audit it or adapt to drone warfare. Reset the military, not the checkbook. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

CIA, FBI and Treason

2/26/2025
CNN reports CIA insiders threaten to spill state secrets to Russia if fired—treason, anyone? Isn’t that a death penalty offense? If true, the CIA’s a mess—why aren’t they tracking this? Time to shut it down and reset. CNN’s sitting on this like it’s no big deal, but journalists aren’t priests—report it! Sick of the ‘great people’ at CIA and FBI excuse; where’s the spine to call out corruption? www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

MSNBC PURGE!

2/25/2025
MSNBC’s purging Joy Reid and others—leftists cry racism, but it’s just business. DOGE cutting USAID cash might be drying up media funds—hope we find out. Reid raked in $3M yearly with 30 staffers for a lousy one-hour show. These TV clowns aren’t your pals—nasty, image-crafted elitists. Their bomb-throwing’s flopping; now the left-wing agenda’s sneaking into ‘respectable’ outlets like the Wall Street Journal. Big Pharma and ad money control the narrative—your news is bought and sold. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Empty Heads at the WSJ

2/25/2025
The Wall Street Journal’s crying foul over DOGE slashing federal leases—claims it’ll tank the office market, especially in DC with its 23% vacancy rate. Trump and Musk’s efficiency push targets 100 leases and two-thirds of empty federal buildings—taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for unused space. WSJ’s acting like a left-wing rag, not a free-market champ, propping up developers over reality. Let DC’s overvalued real estate crash and find its true worth. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

We Have Been Defiled as Taxpayers!

2/25/2025
Taxpayers are getting screwed—Department of Defense drops $10,000 on HDMI cables worth $20, billions vanish in Haiti relief, funneled through DC NGOs for the elite. The Institute of Peace? A $55M do-nothing grift with Kennedys on board. George Soros snags $260M to push soft-on-crime prosecutors, while we borrow from China to give China aid. Nancy Pelosi’s vineyard gets $14M for ‘experimental farming,’ and Senator Whitehouse steers $14.2M to his wife’s Ocean Conservancy gig. We’re defiled, and it’s tough to love the culprits. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Florida Man Rules!!

2/25/2025
Florida Man Ron DeSantis is shaking things up—proposing to ditch property taxes! You don’t truly own your home; miss a tax payment, and the government—aka the ‘Lord’—takes it. DeSantis and Senator Jonathan Martin want a study to swap property taxes for consumption-based sales taxes, cutting budgets and boosting business appeal. Florida’s already a magnet with no income tax and booming infrastructure, but this could be a game-changer. It’d free folks from ‘golden handcuffs’—stuck in homes because moving hikes taxes. A step toward real freedom: own your home, for real. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Government Dreamers Crushed!

2/25/2025
Mainstream media’s trotting out ‘government dreamers’—ex-IRS workers and agency folks whining about losing their ‘dream jobs.’ One guy’s mad after a four-month IRS stint ended—boo-hoo! Reality check: no one’s entitled to job security, not even me. Pick yourself up, brush off, and move on. Love tax? Be an accountant—jobs are everywhere. Life’s tough; it’s not about getting knocked down, it’s about getting up. Don’t sit on unemployment—hit the pavement. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Hooters Goes Bankrupt!

2/25/2025
Hooters is bankrupt—shocker, right? People are asking why, but it’s obvious. Women’s everyday outfits—yoga pants, skin-tight gym gear—make Hooters’ once-racy uniforms look tame. From grocery stores to gyms, the real world’s outdone their gimmick. Good wings aside, those late ‘80s beer-commercial vibes can’t compete today. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
