The state of the country

The problems of the United States as he named them, in his words and dated, each set beside the public record that proved him right: the FBI's own admission that its crime data is not comprehensive, the breach disclosures, the 1-in-100,000 rate of justice he computed before the Bureau published the numbers that confirm it. This is diagnosis by someone whose diagnoses have held; the remedies are on Positions and Arguments, and the case for office is on Office.

The government censors through the platforms, and calls it moderation

What he says. “The Biden administration censored Americans at scale from the executive branch. Their legacy should be treason” (May 12, 2025). Moderation is the new word for censorship; moderation partnerships are the day-to-day relationship between a government entity and a private one (Aug 2, 2025).

What the record shows. The Twitter Files documented weekly FBI and DHS meetings with Twitter over content; the Fifth Circuit found in September 2023 that the White House, FBI, Surgeon General and CDC likely coerced platforms; the Supreme Court dismissed on standing (June 2024) without deciding whether it happened. Executive Order 14149 (January 20, 2025) is titled “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship.” The FTC opened its platform-censorship inquiry on February 20, 2025.

Surveillance without audit is the system, not a flaw in it

What he says. “Unaudited federal access becomes democracy's own downfall” (Oct 7, 2025). “There is very little surveillance that is lawful in the modern experience of America from an American citizen's perspective” (May 26, 2025). “American Operational Security, Where American Justice Goes To Die” (May 7, 2026).

What the record shows. The FISA court found in 2023 that the FBI ran more than 278,000 improper queries of Americans' communications under Section 702, including on January 6 suspects, protesters and a member of Congress; Congress reauthorized the authority anyway in April 2024 and expanded the class of providers who must assist. The NSA's domestic call-records program ran for a decade before a federal appeals court held it unlawful in 2020. Data brokers sell Americans' location and browsing to federal agencies without warrants, a practice the FTC began sanctioning only in 2024.

Cybercrime has no address a citizen can go to

What he says. “The entire cyber apparatus fails local citizens because the traditional civil contract is now dependent on skillset and not shared experience … where the criminals are the investigators or uninvestigated” (Oct 7, 2025). Three departments told him they had no digital-forensics resources for the public and would not take a cyber complaint (Mar 8, 2026).

What the record shows. IC3 logged $16.6 billion in reported losses in 2024, a third higher than 2023, and aggregates complaints rather than investigating them; the FBI itself says most cybercrime goes unreported. His measure of the whole system is one figure: 1% of 1% of 1% — a tenth reported, one percent of that investigated, one percent of that prosecuted — and in September 2026 the Bureau itself was breached, its employees' data taken, weeks after an intrusion into its wiretap-management network (Arguments page). Police agencies own forensic tools by the thousands — for suspects. There is no federal or state service that examines a citizen's device after an intrusion, and no local department is required to take the report.

Economic treason is all around us

What he says. “Social media is constitutionally illegal on its face value. Corporations hiding in illegal arbitration built on an overwhelmed justice system is not an excuse. Section 230 was and is a joke. Who let it get this bad, why is economic treason all around us?” (Oct 17, 2025). The Economic Treason Act is his answer.

What the record shows. Every major platform requires arbitration and a class-action waiver as a condition of use; the Supreme Court has enforced such clauses since AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion (2011). Section 230 immunity has survived every challenge since 1997. Federal courts have now found Google an illegal monopolist twice (2024, 2025) and Meta and Apple are in trial; the harms were adjudicated a generation after they began.

The justice system is broken or too late

What he says. “People are cheating, stealing and lying and winning over and over again because pillars like Justice are broken or too late to help” (Mar 9, 2026). Cyber investigation and prosecution are politicized by the difficulty of recording evidence (Jun 8, 2025).

What the record shows. Federal civil cases take a median of two to three years to trial; the immigration courts carry a backlog above three million; the Justice Department's own inspector general has repeatedly found the FBI failed to investigate reports it received. Wrongful-conviction exonerations passed 3,500 by 2025. The measurement itself is broken: crime data is a voluntary submission, a third of agencies sent nothing in 2022, the 2021 count missed a third of the population, the 2022 figures were revised from a decline to a rise two years later, and the FBI now acknowledges its historic collection “was not comprehensive” — a country that cannot count its crime cannot govern its justice, which is the underreporting he calls silent quitting (Arguments page).

Powerlessness and resentment are the national condition

What he says. “Decades of American people feeling powerlessness and harboring resentment from a multitude of politicized instances … an effect caused by the increased rate of the news cycle, which has caused not only mental exhaustion but personal integrity exhaustion” (Apr 9, 2026). Pattern recognition is used against the citizen who reports it (Oct 7, 2025).

What the record shows. Trust in the federal government has sat near historic lows since 2007 — around one in five Americans in Pew's tracking; trust in news media reached its lowest recorded level in Gallup's 2024 poll. Deaths of despair — overdose, suicide, alcohol — exceeded 200,000 a year at their 2021–22 peak.

The country cannot afford a modern civil war

What he says. “Can you imagine reaper drones over Texas or California, or an automated American force versus an automated American force? That's why this division is so inherently dangerous” (Apr 24, 2026). Lifting the filibuster returns the country to the civil-war era (Nov 7, 2025).

What the record shows. Political violence has produced two assassination attempts on a president (2024), the killing of a Minnesota legislator (June 2025) and the killing of a national political figure at a public event (September 2025); the Department of Homeland Security has named domestic violent extremism the most persistent lethal threat since 2021.

Waste, fraud and abuse were never audited

What he says. “What is accounting in a cyber-crime-rampant world? #DataOwnership hedges against greed” (Oct 27, 2025); “accounting is the best excuse, 2001.” His #doge posts of December 2023 attached the term to waste, fraud and abuse.

What the record shows. The Secretary of Defense said on September 10, 2001 that $2.3 trillion in Pentagon transactions could not be tracked; the Department of Defense has failed every one of its seven consecutive audits since they began in 2018. The GAO estimates $233–$521 billion a year in fraud across federal programs (2024). The Department of Government Efficiency was created by executive order on January 20, 2025.

Immigration was financed through the system meant for retirees

What he says. “Social Security was the bankroll that fueled this invasion, and I bet if we track the money…” (Apr 10, 2025).

What the record shows. The Social Security Administration's earnings suspense file — wages reported under numbers that match no worker — has accumulated well over a trillion dollars, the bulk of it attributed by the agency's own inspector general to unauthorized workers, and the money is treated as revenue the system keeps.

The tariffs were the wrong lever

What he says. “What ruined our global relations was the tariff strategic framework” (Aug 30, 2025); data ownership before tariffs (Sept 3, 2025).

What the record shows. The Supreme Court vacated the emergency tariffs on February 20, 2026. The 2025 tariffs took the average U.S. rate to a ninety-year high and cost about $1,300 per household that year by the Yale Budget Lab's estimate; the national debt passed $37 trillion in 2025 with interest costs exceeding the defense budget.

The telecom and device ecosystem is unpatched and in constant contact

What he says. “What is the cost of cybersecurity when 80–85% of your server load is obsolete or unpatched?” (Aug 22, 2025). The vendor sees the intrusion and sells the encryption.

What the record shows. Salt Typhoon sat inside nine U. T-Mobile and Charter were among the carriers penetrated; his questions to both about remote access and data are on the Arguments page.S. carriers' networks for months; CISA's catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities passed 1,300 entries; the average time to patch a known exploited flaw in enterprises remains measured in months. The details are on the Arguments page.

The intelligence community operates from the shadows in a world with no veil

What he says. “The veil no longer exists; the people of the world know what countries are manipulating them, and it is increasingly inept of our intelligence community to operate from the shadows like what they do isn't righteous” (May 12, 2025). Cyber weapons leaked from the government are in criminal hands (Oct 4, 2025).

What the record shows. The Shadow Brokers leak, the Vault 7 disclosure of CIA tools (2017), and the OPM breach were all failures of the community's own custody; the House Judiciary Committee's 2023–24 reports documented CISA's role in flagging Americans' posts; the Epstein Files Transparency Act had to be passed nearly unanimously in November 2025 to force the release of records the government had held for years.

The education system is past broken

What he says. Universities and accessibility compliance need reinvention (Feb 4, 2024); the country has roughly a decade (Aug 6, 2024).

What the record shows. The 2024 NAEP put twelfth-grade reading at its lowest since 1992 and math at its lowest since 2005; only about a third of eighth-graders read at grade level. Student debt stands at $1.7 trillion.

The water is mismanaged and the fires are unfought with old tools

What he says. The Salton Sea is the Chornobyl of California (2022); Colorado River water is paid for after the alfalfa is grown rather than freed before it (2019–26); Los Angeles fought the January 2025 fires with technology it could have replaced three decades ago (Jan 8, 2025).

What the record shows. The Colorado River's Lower Basin has been in shortage every year since 2022. Los Angeles' Santa Ynez reservoir was empty during the Palisades fire and hydrants ran dry; the fires killed 31 people and destroyed more than 16,000 structures. Firefighting aircraft in U.S. service average decades in age.

The opioid epidemic is a policy failure lived by millions

What he says. He has spoken from his own recovery since 2019 — “opioid addiction and the solution for it is something I have experienced for myself” (Feb 7, 2021).

What the record shows. Drug overdose deaths exceeded 100,000 a year from 2021 through 2023, most from fentanyl; the 2024 decline of about a quarter was the first sustained drop in a generation. Purdue's $7.4 billion settlement (2025) came a quarter century after OxyContin's launch.

Antisemitism is at a modern high, and the institutions that should record it do not

What he says. His record is on the Legal page; the organizations built to track antisemitism should be tracking this.

What the record shows. The FBI recorded 1,832 anti-Jewish hate crimes in 2023, the most on record; the ADL logged 9,354 incidents in 2024, its highest ever, with California the leading state; the Department of Education opened more Title VI antisemitism investigations in 2024–25 than in the prior decade combined.

The veteran and the citizen are failed by paperwork

What he says. A seamless system that automatically enrolls veterans and an accountability framework that fixes the failure rather than files it (Jun 12, 2025); the Veteran Rights Compliance system on the Portfolio page.

What the record shows. The VA's claims backlog exceeded 250,000 in 2024 after the PACT Act; the GAO has kept VA health care on its High-Risk List since 2015; roughly 17 veterans a day die by suicide.

The whole thing runs on a manufactured reality

What he says. “They have to keep us all under the veil, or an invention here or an invention there might crack our colonial modern communism we all live under — best described as a clown world, or completely artificial” (Mar 8, 2025). The remedy he proposes is data ownership, first-to-publish, and the redress of grievances.

What the record shows. The remedies are on the Positions, Arguments and Appraisal pages; the record of who acted on them is on Uptake.
