Sam Stea

Cogan Station

I’ll always remember my father’s words to me when I showed him a birdhouse I made for a seventh-grade school project. I’d done a crummy job and I knew it.

He shook his head and said, “Sammy, how you do anything is how you do everything.”

I find the older I get, the truer those words become.

Let’s expand on this theme.

President Trump, upon hearing a bad U.S. jobs report, made public by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, fired its commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, citing, without any evidence, that the “numbers were rigged.” This happened last August.

He just did it. No inquiry. No sound justification.

Think of January 6th and his inciting a mob to overturn the election, his purging of 17 Inspectors General in 2025 who investigate fraud, waste, and abuse across government agencies, his removal of the Special Counsel who protects federal whistleblowers.

“How you do anything is how you do everything.”

The real question is — will Mr. Trump peaceably relinquish power if he loses the House and Senate in the midterm elections this year? Or will he pull the plug, declare a state of emergency, call out the storm-troopers and erase any semblance of legitimacy?

Think, friends — is it possible that 11.03.26 is the last day of our sacred Republic? I have to say, the likelihood grows by the day.

Spread the word.

Long live the Republic!
