February 2025 President's Message - "What is Happening?"

That is a question that many are asking themselves on both sides of the aisle. We are seeing the implementation of plans that have taken four years to put together, and they are being implemented at light speed. The playbook has been written and is so detailed that every day we see the implementation of the plans for that specific day. It is happening so fast that the opposition doesn’t know which way to look because every single day there is a new bend in the road for them. So, they have to let up on the last issue that they were concerned about, and now they have to pivot to the new issue of the day. It is overwhelming to them, and they use the same old techniques and tactics to attempt to deal with it. Unfortunately, though, they just aren’t working anymore.

Yes, the majority of the voting populace has spoken, and they are, for the most part, happy with what they are seeing.

But that brings me to the concern that must be addressed right now. That concern is becoming more and more evident with each passing day. You see, I sadly see that people are becoming content. It’s kind of like eating that big Thanksgiving dinner and then going into a “food coma” afterward. You end up lying on the couch and watching holiday movies for the rest of the afternoon.

You see, contentment leads to apathy, the feeling that everything is taken care of. Sort of like when we were kids. Mom took care of the meals, we had clothes provided for us, and a warm home to live in. What more did we need? Everything was taken care of, so we could go out to play ball, ride our bikes, and go fishing.

You see, what I am observing is the same form of contentment. Many feel that everything is being taken care of for us. Unfortunately, I have to say, “It just ain’t so, folks!” You see, there are roadblocks being placed in the way every time a new initiative is announced. And if you think that since things are being cleaned up on a federal level, all is well locally, I have news for you. The battles on the state and local levels are going to continue raging on and perhaps even be magnified in order to combat the federal mandates.

For these reasons, I would like to encourage everyone who is becoming content with what they are seeing occur to remain in the fight. Do not become a “bench sitter.” Perhaps you are falling into the trap of just watching and checking from time to time to make sure that all is going well from your perspective. I have news for you: You must remain vigilant and stay in the game. Don’t let contentment lead to apathy. You also can’t fall into the trap of listening to those who are angry and distraught over what they see happening. You have to avoid contentment, and we definitely cannot become apathetic.

I want you to understand that there are some on this side who support the President; however, they are becoming concerned about some of the cuts that are being implemented or proposed. For those of you out there who are listening to the hyperbole about tariffs and what they will do to our economy and the inflation rate, I would suggest that you read The Art of the Deal. I use the threat of tariffs that the President suggested placing on Canada and Mexico as an example. None were applied, yet the President succeeded in having both countries shut down our northern and southern borders. Also, as a fringe benefit, both countries placed 10,000 troops on each border to stop the fentanyl and human trafficking that has been rampant for the last four years.

I will leave you this month with the words of Giacinto Dragonetti, Italian jurist and writer (1738-1818):
“The science of the politician consists in fixing the true point of happiness and freedom. Those men deserve the gratitude of ages who should discover a mode of government that contained the greatest sum of individual happiness with the least national expense.”

Let us all take these words to heart as we move forward through the next several months and years. There is a lot to be done, and there will be some pain in creating a landscape in this great Republic in which we will have “the greatest sum of individual happiness with the least national expense”!

If you are there, get off the couch and engage in the local, state, and national battles ahead. I would truly consider it an honor to work side by side with you as we move forward.

Thank you all for being a part of the movement. I wish you all a safe and blessed week.
Dr. Pfeiffer
