Chaos Comes Calling
Remember when Nancy Pelosi, in another galaxy, long, long ago, was Speaker of the House? Then-Speaker Pelosi led the pact of many patriotic citizens, eager to instruct the public about the dialectic of hubris and nemesis, joyful compilations of “Hollywood celebrities, ditto-head news readers and Democratic politicians intoning that party line.”
In Spectator US, Roger Kimball describes how the impossible mutated to “the walls are closing in.” If it weren’t “Russia, Russia, Russia,” it was Stormy Daniels.
… the entertainment committee was on the job, and many “walls-are-closing-in” compilations flooded the internet for fun but no profit.
NGO = Parallel Government
Elon Musk, Trump’s point man for DOGE, has revealed the truth about NGOs. “non-governmental organization,” actually means “nurturing governmental officialdom,” i.e., diverting taxpayer dollars for oneself, one’s relatives, and people who can do you some favors. Which is to say that the “non” in “NGO” really means “all” or “limitless.”
One canny commentator on X observed, “Over the last few months, we’ve come to a realization that should have landed much harder: NGOs weren’t just adjacent to government, they were the parallel government.”
Over the last few months, we’ve come to a realization that should have landed much harder: NGOs weren’t just adjacent to government, they were the parallel government. We were shocked. I was too. But looking back, it’s exactly what you’d expect. NGOs operate outside the chain of… https://t.co/xNu8jZKDzt

NGOs, continues Mr. Kimball, operate out of the chain of command.
They answer to no electorate, no oversight, no public mandate. They can push any agenda they choose without accountability.
The moment Biden took office, the plan was already in motion. NGOs had the infrastructure, the logistics, the funding pipelines; everything ready to go. They didn’t need permission. They just needed power. And when they got it, they had it all set up from day one: overnight, we were flooded with illegal immigrants under the cover of a coordinated strategy that had been waiting in the wings.
Well, guess what? Donald Trump has upended that apple cart. If you care about fiscal sanity, accountability, and transparency, you welcome the rehabilitation. Unfortunately for those who made a living off exploiting the corruption the status quo allowed, this plunge into chaos is into an “outer darkness.”
It is almost amusing to see the reaction from the “public-teat sucking public class.”
- Donald Trump announces a raft of tariffs to return critical industries to the United States and to level the economic playing field. The markets weep for a few days.
- One by one, countries line up to make a deal with the world’s largest economy. At last count, some 90 countries have signaled their intention to trim the tariffs and other trade barriers they have erected against America.
- Even China is making some agreeable noises. Trump has responded by delaying the imposition of certain tariffs, a canny bit of flexibility that the anti-Trump chorus has denounced as “panic.”
- Headlines scream, “No One Is Buying the White House Spin.” But in fact, countries are lining up to buy it, and it’s no spin, it’s negotiation.
- Investor Bill Ackman speaks, “A willingness to adjust a strategy based on new facts and data is a sign of the strength of a leader. It is not an indication of weakness.”
Roger Kimball continues:
Trump secured an “historic” deal with Panama to push out the Chinese from control of the canal and restore America’s priority.
Scott Bessent, the Secretary of the Treasury, is in Argentina to finalize talks with President Javier Milei. “Team Trump is firing on all cylinders. The pace is dizzying,” lauds Mr. Kimball.
According to yesterday’s news sources, yes. “Trump trade team chases 90 deals in 90 days,” scoffs Reuters.
“Experts say good luck with that. ”Experts, eh? Poor dears. They may call it “chaos.”
“It’s what the rest of us call “winning.”
