OPINION: The American Bureaucracy

Americans voted overwhelmingly for change in 2024, handing Donald J. Trump a mandate to drain the swamp, yet, here we are a year into his re-election, with the same D.C. swamp denizens seemingly unscathed, no prosecutions, no accountability for even the violations of 18 U.S. Code S.242 – Deprivation of rights under color of law, … Read more

DOGE Is Also Tracking Bureaucratic Regulations

“Well, “Taxation is Theft” especially when it is taken by bureaucrats and spent in ways that have nothing to do with America’s interests but spent on Leftist ideological pet projects.

It’s Time To Drain The Swamp

The denizens of the Federal Government, all two million plus, continue complaining, kvetching, and crying as Trump introduces them to a feature that MANY of us out here in the private sector have endured for decades: layoffs, firings, company/corporate bankruptcies, and now, buyouts.

Bureaucracy ALWAYS Comes First.

Even in LA right now, where over 10,000 structures have burnt to the ground, rendering people destitute because those former homeowners couldn’t afford the premiums – thanks to the State and its policies on insurance.

Data Point – The Hidden Federal Tax On Us: Regulatory Orgy

Taxation by Regulation by unaccountable, unelected, and unassailable bureaucrats. America leads on innovation, and Europe on regulation, or so the conventional wisdom goes.

The American System Is Collapsing.

The American system, of “Truth, Justice and the American Way” is collapsing right before our eyes.
