Over the past couple of weeks since President Trump’s sweeping and decisive ass kicking of Kamala Harris and the Biden/Harris regime’s policies, Trump has assembled his 2nd term cabinet at lightning speed.
Still reeling from their crushing defeat, liberals pivoted from stunned disbelief to acrimony over Trump’s cabinet…also at lightning speed…but there are several factors at play in all of this and the liberal media propagandists are too self-absorbed to understand the process.
I’ll get into some of the specific picks in a bit, but I really want to start with the overall meltdown from the lunatic left. Over on CNN and on MSNBC, the propagandists have been bemoaning Trump’s cabinet choices as having a collective lack of experience. Let me be really, really clear about this…they are bemoaning the notion that Trump’s cabinet picks have a collective lack of BUREAUCRATIC experience.
Here’s the thing. The American people spoke loudly, and clearly on November, 5th when they marched peacefully and patriotically to the polls and let their voices be heard. They said “we’re sick and damned tired of the status quo of the DC swamp, and we demand LESS bureaucracy in our nation, and in our lives.”
Ask the good people of East Palestine, Ohio, how Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, a bureaucrat treated them, or how another bureaucrat, Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security did handling the border or FEMA. Mayorkas, by the way, is also in change of the U.S. Secret Service, and I think we all saw how well the bureaucrat did in Butler, Pennsylvania. Ask the Americans trapped in Afghanistan, or the families of those killed there during Biden’s surrender to the Taliban how the bureaucrat in charge of our nation’s military, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin did in that situation.
Ask those who lost their jobs, or were censored and deplatformed from social media, or had to close their businesses how the bureaucrat Tony Fauci did during the pandemic. And what about lawfare at the hands of the bureaucrat leading the DOJ, Merrick Garland, the situation on the world stage engineered by another bureaucrat, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, or how about the federal bureaucracy as a whole which has laser focused on a “government-wide initiative to advance diversity, equity, inclusion,” to the detriment of advancing people based on merit and instead championed “woke” hires unfit for the jobs they hold.
And don’t get me started on the Department of Education, the bureaucracy in charge of indoctrinating our nation’s youth and filling their heads with liberal, socialist, and Marxist clap-trap. That bureaucracy was created under Jimmy Carter as a propaganda arm for the teacher’s union, and most recently, the Department of Education has teamed up with the CDC (another bureaucracy) and bureaucrats Tony Fauci and Merrick Garland to keep kids uneducated, and label parents as “domestic terrorists,” even going so far as to have yet another bureaucratic nightmare, the FBI harass and arrest parents at school board meetings.
The problem is that all the bureaucracies protect the bureaucrats, and the bureaucrats protect the bureaucracy. It’s been a vicious circle for decades and it only gets worse the longer the status quo remains in place. That’s why President Trump is nominating so many non-bureaucrats, or people with a disdain for bureaucracy to Cabinet posts. You can’t expect alligators to clean up the swamp any more than you should expect more bureaucrats to clean up, and clear out the bureaucracy.
Okay, let’s just name some names. Kristi Noem has been chosen as the Secretary of Homeland Security, the agency overseeing the Border Patrol, ICE, the TSA, Cyber Defense Skilling Academy, the Coast Guard, the U.S. Secret Service, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Liberals and their propaganda media are beside themselves that Kristi Noem is set to head all of that up given her “lack of bureaucratic experience,” but how well has the bureaucrat Mayorkas been doing with ANY of those agencies?
Just tell me of ONE of those entities that hasn’t become a bureaucratic quagmire in desperate need of a complete cleansing.
The problem with putting a bureaucrat in charge of all those various entities is that a bureaucrat is only interested in maintaining the status quo, but Kristi Noem is interested in results. Noem will get the right people into the right positions, and then quite Unlike a bureaucrat, she’ll get out of the way and let them do their jobs from ridding those agencies of wokeism to securing the border and putting an end to free flow of Chinese fantynal trafficked by the Mexican cartels pouring into our country.
She’s a lot more adept and tougher than a lot of people might think.
Anthony Bliken, the current bureaucrat in charge of the Department of State has been far too squishy on Putin, Xi, HAMAS and Iran, and he’s turned his back on Israel and other allies. The world is on fire and he’s been fanning the flames. Trump’s nominee, Marco Rubio will clean house and stand strong against our enemies and with our allies on the world stage to not only restore the order lost under Biden and Harris, but create stability in the world’s most hotly contested regions…not because he’s a bureaucrat, but because he’s NOT.
Pete Hegseth is exactly the non-bureaucrat needed to wash the woke out of the Pentagon and our military as the nominee for Secretary of Defense. He’s a highly educated man who has served in the trenches and received two Bronze Stars. Hegseth has no use for woke DEI nonsense and understands that the purpose of our military is to kill people and break things should all else fail, but liberals and their media propagandists are saying, “he has no experience in the bureaucracy.”
Here’s what Liz Warren had to say about the Hegseth nomination, “A Fox & Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense. I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our servicemembers. Donald Trump’s pick will make us less safe and must be rejected.”
To start with, Liz Warren wasn’t qualified to be an Indian, but it didn’t stop her, and second off, how has the highly qualified Lloyd Austin done over the past four years. Austin pulled our troops out of the Afghanistan base before he pulled our people and allies out of Afghanistan, under his highly qualified command, 13 Americans were killed in the surrender to the Taliban he engineered, Americans and key allies were left behind and people desperate to get out were falling off of our military planes as they were fleeing.
Lloyd Austin went all-in on the woke BS and subjected our once great military to comply, he fired members of our military who refused to be jabbed with experimental “vaccines,” and the bureaucrat Austin simply disappeared without telling anyone for over a week when he got sick.
And what about the Chinese spy balloon? The highly qualified bureaucrat, Lloyd Austin allowed a CHINESE spy balloon traverse our nation and fly over and around our sensitive military bases UNCHALLENGED, until it had drifted out to sea off our east coast…and Liz Warren says Hegseth isn’t qualified?
For far too long, the puffed-up bureaucrats in the Pentagon have thought THEY call the military shots, and THEY are the Commanders in Chief. Those bureaucrats will now have to answer to Hegseth who will take his orders from the REAL Commander in Chief, the PRESIDENT of the United States.
Let me be candid…the choice of a Fox and Friends weekend co-host to become the Secretary of defense is not emblematic of Hegseth being a weak pick, it’s emblematic of how deep and strong the bench is at Fox News.
Matt Gaetz…okay, here we go. There was bound to be a skunk in the woodpile sooner or later, and Gaetz gave off an odor, even to many Republicans. Up until he resigned from congress upon being nominated, Gaetz was the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation and the allegations were serious and involved sexual misconduct and drugs. My initial gut instinct was “bad pick, loose cannon, and he should remove himself from consideration because he won’t be confirmed.”
Last Thursday, November, 21st, Gaetz took my advice and liberals cheered because they said he wasn’t competent. Then, just a few hours later, Trump announced his new AG pick, Florida’s Pam Bondi, and liberals went into panic mode because, as College professor and MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson said, “Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment that we should all fear, because she’s competent.”
Pam Bondi is baggage free, she’s accomplished, she has been a successful prosecutor for two decades, she’s America First, she’s law and order, a Constitutionalist, Bondi was the Attorney General in Florida for eight years, she’s anti-lawfare, tough as nails on illegal aliens, has no love for sanctuary cities or states, she’s a pitbull on a pork chop when it comes to the drug cartels, and drug and human smuggling, and Pam Bondi is a street sweeper when it comes to corruption.
Pam Bondi is the All-American, America First Attorney General the American people deserve. Republicans and Conservatives are cheering, and the bureaucracy is terrified because Bondi will hit the ground running at full speed.
And finally…DOGE. The combination of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, a couple of billionaire businessmen who know how to make money by saving money rifling through the bureaucracy like the FBI rifled through Melania’s underwear drawer has both liberals, and the bloated federal bureaucracy terrified.
Their job will be to recommend cost cuts and agency cuts and to root out wasteful spending to put an end to the burning of taxpayer money. We all remember the shrimp on a treadmill that cost American taxpayers more than $3 million over the course of a decade. That includes a $559,681 grant for research into “Impaired Metabolism and Performance in Crustaceans Exposed to Bacteria,” but did you know that the federal bureaucracy gave bureaucrat Tony Fauci and his NIH $33 million to a firm that runs “Monkey Island,” a colony of around 3,000 primates sent to research labs. Additionally, NIH grants totaling $3.7 million funded a study on monkeys and gambling. Part of another $12 million went to the University of Mississippi to test monkeys on methamphetamine, and a Florida lab received $477,000 to help fund research into “transgender” monkeys — males injected with female hormones.
Monkeys on meth playing Mahjong for money I get, but TRANGENDER monkeys…male monkeys who think they’re female monkeys using the girl monkey’s bathroom?
Nobody needs to see that, and you have to draw the line somewhere.
Here’s the bottom line…President Trump, with his cabinet picks has fire a warning shot just barely over the heads of the status quo bureaucracy of federal government on BOTH side of the aisle signaling that there’s a new Sheriff in town and he’s got a posse riding in hard to restructure the government, making it leaner and meaner as a government OF, By and For the people.
Let the wadding of bureaucrat’s panties begin.
