US Liberty, Prosperity Depend on Reforming Federal Bureaucracy
Donald Trump won an electoral victory over the Marxists who control the Democrat Party and over their establishment partners: the military-industrial complex and social-engineering elites. With its Democrat membership weakened the establishment must rely on its Republicans to protect its power.
Democrats and their media partners are viciously attacking Trump’s cabinet nominees as unprepared and dangerous. The enemy is half correct: Trump’s nominees are dangerous to the establishment’s power.
The establishment has controlled the federal bureaucracy with an incestuous relationship between the regulators and the regulated, and in the procurement of goods and services. Trump released a plan on March 21, 2023, “to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption.” Successful completion of this goal is indispensable for our future.
Democrats are accusing Trump of trying to destroy the country with his nominees. As typical totalitarians, they project themselves onto their enemies. The Joe Biden regime has been our most destructive government since the Civil War.
Democrat attacks against Trump’s nominees are bogus and meant to provide fodder for establishment Republican senators to derail confirmation hearings. The latter will pretend these are normal confirmation hearings. They are not business as usual, because the enemy aims to keep its power and eventually shred our Constitution.
The Biden regime has purposely harmed our economy and military preparedness. It has purposely flooded our country with illegal immigrants and narcotics. The regime has empowered our foreign enemies and attacked our allies.
There is no common ground with the enemy within.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)—an establishment fixture—held a quick vote to name the new Republican majority leader. McConnell made the vote secret. The senators’ constituents deserved to know how they voted, but McConnell knew that would result in more votes for Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), whom he opposed.
Senator John Thune (R-SD) won. He has said he will support Trump’s agenda and give more discretion to senators than McConnell did. The first test of Thune’s support for Trump’s agenda will be getting his nominees confirmed.
Proliberty organizations and people from states that voted for Trump, including those with Democrat senators, must insist their senators vote to confirm Trump’s nominees. Nobody should be deceived by conventional and bogus arguments against them. Defeating them would reduce the chance of success for Trump’s agenda.
Democrats have focused on four of Trump’s nominees: Matt Gaetz for attorney general; Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of health and human services; Pete Hegseth for defense secretary; and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. They are all accomplished people who have been victims of government weaponization, making them anti-establishment choices.
Gaetz is more qualified than Robert F. Kennedy was in 1961, for whom President George W. Bush named the Justice Department building. Gaetz’s role on the House Judiciary Committee, including his questioning of Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray, has been outstanding and insightful.
Kennedy Jr. was a vocal critic of government COVID-19 policies and will champion individual choice with truthful information about vaccines and food. He will end the incestuous relationship between Big Pharma and Big Food producers on one hand and the FDA, CDC, and NIH on the other.
Hegseth says in The War on Warriors (2024), his sixth book, that we must not hand “our Republic over to people who loathe the sort of men vital to defending us.” Hegseth will make the armed forces into an effective, lethal fighting force that will give Trump leverage in international affairs.
Gabbard is a lieutenant colonel in the US Army Reserve. As a Democrat congresswoman, she criticized the Barack Obama administration for not recognizing Islamic extremism as a threat. Gabbard will curtail the establishment politicization of intelligence that gets us into avoidable wars.
Most critical for the establishment’s avoidable wars is the State Department (DOS). Curiously, there has been little, if any, Democrat criticism of Trump’s nominee to lead DOS: Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL). Democrats might believe Rubio will act like former Secretary Mike Pompeo, who talked tough but let permanent DOS bureaucrats undermine Trump.
Rubio’s test will be dealing with Assistant Secretary for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Todd Robinson. Under Robinson, the flow of illegal narcotics and immigrants has greatly increased, making him a candidate for immediate removal. When Robinson ran the embassy in Venezuela in 2018, Rubio criticized him for violating Trump’s policy regarding a presidential election.
Trump vowed in his 2023 video to “clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus … The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies.”
Guatemala has been the poster child for this type of abuse, under Robinson’s thumb for a decade. He has harmed US national security and has committed crimes as a government official.
Exposing federal bureaucrat criminality and treason will put more pressure on establishment Republicans to support Trump’s agenda of reforming the government. Such reforms are necessary to promote liberty and prosperity. Done right, they can also make it highly unlikely that those who have given us the last four years of disaster will return to power.
