SOFREP Weekly- Former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb Discusses Why America Needs Outsiders in Office: What the Founding Fathers Would Think of Trump, Elon, and Bureaucracy Gone Wild
George Washington stands resolute amidst the Capitol swamp, a stark reminder of the founding ideals drowning in political waste.
The State Department used $20k of your taxpayer dollars to fund transgender shows in…wait for it…Ecuador!
When I think about the men who founded America—rough-and-tumble characters who peed standing up and would have also picked up a rifle to defend their patch of dirt against the red coats—I imagine them squirming in their graves at most of the spineless career politicians and government waste haunting Capitol Hill today.
George Washington didn’t serve eight years of ass-kissing in the local D.C. scene to climb a political ladder.
Jefferson? Adams? Hell, they were citizen-soldiers and thinkers.
The Founders envisioned a republic where average citizens would take a short break from their regular lives to serve the country and return to their farms, shops, or blacksmiths’ anvils.
They never wanted career politicians bent over; trading favors for a chance to sit higher up the totem pole.
But here we are, drowning in a swamp of professional bureaucrats so deeply embedded in their posts you’d need a pry bar to dislodge them and I hope that’s what Elon will do, take a pry bar to all of the sewer barnacles in DC.
