Electing an executive, who in turn spends trillions of borrowed and stolen money every year – mainly to buy the next election, enrich themselves and their allies, always unaccountable, always unauditable, always failing to deliver more freedom and more prosperity – why, that how it works, isn't it?

Trump, with no third term to game, and with a new and extraordinary team of patriots, entrepreneurs and even soldiers, is returning to the White House.  He has a well-published agenda, and it is not the one from the Heritage Foundation, a den of neocon and elitist iniquity up until a few years ago.

Just the other day, friend of mine, waiting for a plane, overheard (how could she not) one side of a loud conversation between a contractor working to acquiring DHS contracts for next year.  Responding to a question from the other side "…but what about Trump?" he said, "My contacts are several levels deep in DHS…" implying they are safe from any purges.

Those that suck at the federal teat aren't worried, not yet.

Also just the other day, my TikTok feed gave me the latest from the USDA. Horse shows and local competitions, even trail rides, were always self-policed, by designated volunteers, for animal welfare.  From 2025 onward, they will be USDA policed, and the designated qualified person option is ver boten.  Job creation by bureaucrats, for bureaucrats, of bureaucrats.  This on top of endless land and property rights grabs from past administrations from the "land and water management" side of the federal government.  We need to shed 90% of not just the USDA, but the entire federal bureaucracy in the next two years, but I doubt this is radical enough.

Government employees at state, local and federal levels are the most heavily unionized set of "workers" in the US – obviously this includes public school teachers, but it reveals a possibility that these unionized workers could strike in the face of a major policy change at the federal level.   It brings to mind something Ronald Reagan did in 1981, and a phrase Trump made famous – but will he use it?

The immediate action by any new president is to put loyal and like-minded people in charge of all the departments and agencies, and Trump intends to do that.  Past budgets (continuing resolutions in omnibus form passed at midnight on voice votes) exist, and his new appointees must cease to spend those authorized funds, by immediately demanding zero-based budgets from their agencies and departments and holding every fiat penny hostage.  Even this is not radical enough.
