Born in South Africa and raised in a cosmopolitan atmosphere, Elon Musk might appear to be an unlikely candidate for Patriot of the Year, but as things stand his critical role in developing strategic defense and communications satellite systems, spear-heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and his continuing efforts to educate the American Public about the dangers and losses suffered at the hands of an arrogant out-of-control bureaucratic elite place him squarely in the running.
Please, if you are part of the American workforce, a member of the Middle Class or aspiring to be, or a retiree --- take the time to listen to this recent Dutch Uncle explanation from Elon Musk that addresses why the American Middle Class is shrinking and dying, why more and more Americans are living under the poverty line, going without basic needs, without jobs, without a decent education system, without health-centered healthcare, and often, without hope.
Musk, in his sober, reasonable way, details the impact of forty years of failed immigration policies --- policies that ultimately hurt everyone involved.
His reasonable premise? That Americans have to get involved and defend themselves and their interests from the unaccountable and unelected academics and bureaucrats who have taken over the agencies and educational institutions, turning them into seedbeds for self-important political ideologues, who are unaccountable even to the ballot box and who are more concerned about serving themselves than serving the Public that pays their bills.
It may be a thankless and difficult job to re-educate the educators, but it must be done --- and as we have often pointed out, there is nobody here to do it but us.
