President Trump makes a bold move to weaken the Swamp’s power

Thanks to President Trump’s latest executive order, there’s got to be a sense of panic across every administrative agency in Washington. Last week, President Trump issued an order bearing the innocuous title, “Executive Order on Creating Schedule F In The Excepted Service.” Behind that title lurks an earthquake that may finally break the permanent bureaucracy’s stranglehold on federal politics and bring more accountability to the American government.

When the Founders ratified the Constitution, they envisioned only three branches of government: The Executive, the Legislative, and the Judiciary branches. However, as America grew, a bureaucratic class grew along with it.

In theory, the federal bureaucracy is a subset of the Executive branch. Its purpose is to act as the President’s agent in carrying out the laws that Congress passes. Also, in theory, the people working in the federal bureaucracy act strictly without partisanship, performing their work for all Americans’ benefit, not for a specific political party’s benefit.

In fact, those theories are, as Biden would say, malarky. Over the past four years, we’ve learned that agency employees believe themselves to be an unaccountable fourth branch of government. We’ve also seen that too many employees are highly partisan. Whether in the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ, the CIA, or multiple other agencies, they see their highest goal as advancing the Democrat party’s interests. This is not surprising, given that, in 2016, 95% of those federal employees who made political donations gave their money to Hillary Clinton.

For being a CENTER/Right Republican (which I believe he is), Donald Trump is doing a Very Good impersonation of what a Conservative President would do.

(thinking outloud) I wonder if so much of what he is doing has been in response to the attacks he has gotten from The Left? If they had played nice with him, he might have not gone so Hard Right. He Likes it when people say nice things about him (as do we all) and he's got a thin skin.

Bad News From Ed Markey: Originalism Is Racist, Sexist, And Homophobic

ALLAHPUNDITPosted at 10:41 pm on October 26, 2020

@SenMarkey condemns the U.S. Constitution: "Originalism Is racist, originalism is sexist, originalism is homophobic"

The good news for Markey is that Congress has the power to pass all sorts of laws that would undo vestiges of the Founders’ racism, sexism, and homophobia. The bad news is that Congress doesn’t actually legislate anymore, it simply confirms judges who do most of the actual legislating instead.  https://hotair.com/archives/allahpundit/2020/10/26/bad-news-ed-markey-originalism-racist-sexist-homophobic/
