Thought For The Day

 

Deputy Chief of Staff to the President Stephen Miller is very bright and sharp.  In the above video he explains what the President has thus far accomplished in his fight against the permanent, well they thought they were, Federal bureaucracy and gives reporters a civics lesson, reminding them that the Executive Branch is vested under Article II in one man, the President, who is elected by the vote of all the people, and that the unelected  Federal bureaucrats do not constitute a separate branch of the government.

This revolution in the Federal government, and that is not too strong a term, is courtesy of the stolen election of 2020.  If it had not been stolen Trump likely would have had a conventional second term, and second terms for Presidents in our history tend to be disappointments, with growing opposition as the political pendulum begins to swing back and most second term administrations are tired and bereft of new ideas.  Instead, Trump and his people had four years to analyze what had gone wrong and right in Trump’s first term, and they clearly determined that this time Trump had, at the onset of his new term, to tame the Federal bureaucracy, shrink it in size and render it powerless to thwart his policies.  With Trump the reign of the alphabet agencies, a legacy of the New Deal, is at an end.  In one month in office, Trump has already accomplished more of significance than most presidents accomplish in four years.  He is rewriting the book on how to be President, and there are many more chapters to come.

That’s odd. The people complaining that Musk is ‘unelected’ are the same people who were fine with Harris being appointed the Democrat candidate for president without her winning a single primary. They were also fine with ‘Dr.’ Jill Biden running Presidential cabinet meetings with her husband, and attending G7 summits with him as a participant….

Is it just me, or does their outrage seem rather selective?

Selective outrage is hypocrisy. It is a tool in the toolbox for Democrats, not a sin.

A perpetual reminder that for some, if it weren’t for double standards, they’d have none at all.

I think Mr. Don is exactly right that this is the “new and improved” Trump Presidency:

  1. We have Suzy Wiles as CoS: she’s keeping out the grifters (Bannon, maybe?) and weirdos (like Kanye West);
  2. The self-aggrandizing “neo-liberal” son-in-law (Kushner) now has to go through (reportedly) Don, Jr.–hence, we aren’t seeing the border taking a back seat to oil/finance deals in the Middle East (for example);
  3. Everyone seems to be united in purpose and execution (Wiles’ influence again?): from Sec. Hegseth getting confirmed by the Vice President rushing out from supper to cast the deciding vote, to Trump and Vance and Hegseth warning the EU and NATO allies to fall in line.

It’s been great so far, in other words!
