Just weeks into DOGE’s fight against the Deep State, it’s obvious that Musk’s brainchild operates more like a tech startup—fast, agile, and focused on delivering results. I mean, just look at Team DOGE—instead of bringing in career bureaucrats or Washington insiders, he handpicked young engineers from Silicon Valley, Austin, and even Eastern Europe, all under 30 years old.
One of them, a 24-year-old Estonian coder, developed a fraud-detection algorithm that flagged over $2 billion in illicit transactions for private banks. Another, a 26-year-old AI specialist, helped optimize Tesla’s supply chain automation. Then there’s Luke Farritor, who created an algorithm capable of reading text from carbonized ancient scrolls, winning a $250,000 prize from the Vesuvius Challenge.
[The rolled-up scrolls were burned up during the Vesuvius inferno in Pompeii. They are but scrolls of ash. The remains look like black, charred hot dogs which fell to the bottom of a firepit. One professor ran them through a CT scan and revealed layers of burned paper. Ink on the burned paper didn't burn as fast as the paper, leaving a trace of an image. Luke applied AI to detect the difference between paper and ink and found the Greek word "purple." He believes AI will now be able to reconstruct all the words hidden within the ash-like paper.]
Notice a DOGE pattern? No Beltway insiders. No political appointees. Just young, hyper-competent tech professionals leveraging AI and automation (to cut through waste faster than any government watchdog ever has).
Another key strategy? Publicity. DOGE isn’t waiting for agencies to act—it’s making its findings public before legal challenges can even be filed. Instead of quietly reporting waste to the White House, DOGE posts its discoveries directly on Musk’s X platform, putting agencies on defense immediately.

A few weeks ago, an image went viral. In Belgium a migrant used the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to cook an omelette. For many, the desecration brought to mind a quote from French author Jean Raspail, written in 1973 in his novel Camp of the Saints, about a sudden invasion of Muslim, Indian and African migrants into France:
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.”
“Beware of two errors: despising the world God sustains, or worshipping the culture He restrains.”
— Abraham Kuyper, Common Grace Vol. 1, Ch. 30
"[Successful NY Mayoral candidate] Mamdani built his campaign on the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA and its city allies can dispatch activists across New York and, with a network of progressive partner organizations, can mobilize young people, get out the vote, and do the work of door-to-door politics.
"We saw this dynamic many times in the twentieth century: socialists rise to power, their policies degrade the quality of life, and, as they enter the endgame, they tighten their grip on power and offload resentments onto their ideological, racial, and economic enemies.
"...the twentieth century taught us that left-wing voters have extraordinary defenses against reality."
-- Christopher Rufo
