I was at a retreat all last week and emerged yesterday to get a big download on the Trump Offensive. What a thing of beauty. This is what he promised to do first term but was unprepared for how full of slithering beasts the swamp actually is. Not this time.
My older brother (who also reads Z) works for one of the federal agencies that actually gives money back, and he says even those people are in full on freak-out mode. There are millions of over-educated functionaries out there right now trying to figure out how they can do something productive for once in their lives.
I so hope Vance & crew are 100% on board as the baton gets passed.
As another denizen of Substackistan often likes to put it, “Do you want a Franco?”
The things Trump 2.0 has initiated since taking office have long been needed to rein in the leviathan that the Federal Gov’t has become, yet the Left and her sycophants continue to scream and wail as if a Red Caesar has taken up in the White House.
Having activist judges do things such as bar constitutionally appointed members access to their assigned departments merely pushes the calls to head further right.
The Administrative State exists without any Constitutional basis, and has, since its inception. It has subverted Constitutional process since then, and now strives to overtly overthrow Constitutional governance. It is the living embodiment of sedition, and it itself must be overthrown and abolished at all levels.
"The post-New Deal administrative state is unconstitutional, and its validation by the legal system amounts to nothing less than a bloodless constitutional revolution. The original New Dealers were aware, at least to some degree, that their vision of the national government's proper role and structure could not be squared with the written Constitution: The Administrative Process, James Landis's classic exposition of the New Deal model of administration, fairly drips with contempt for the idea of a limited national government subject to a formal, tripartite separation of powers. Faced with a choice between the administrative state and the Constitution, the architects of our modern government chose the administrative state, and their choice has stuck. ... The United States Congress today effectively exercises general legislative powers, in contravention of the constitutional principle of limited powers. Moreover, Congress frequently delegates that general legislative authority to administrative agencies, in contravention of Article I. Furthermore, those agencies are not always subject to the direct control of the President, in contravention of Article II. In addition, those agencies sometimes exercise the judicial power, in contravention of Article III. Finally, those agencies typically concentrate legislative, executive, and judicial functions in the same institution, in simultaneous contravention of Articles I, II, and III. In short, the modern administrative state openly flouts almost every important structural precept of the American constitutional order." The Rise and Rise of the Administrative State, Gary S. Lawson, Boston University School of Law
A contemporaneous writing, from 1938, was prescient of the current situation:
“The test came in the first one hundred days. No matter how carefully a revolution may have been planned there is bound to be a crucial time. That comes when the actual seizure of power is taking place. In this case certain steps were necessary. They were difficult and daring steps. But more than that, they had to be taken in a certain sequence, with forethought and precision of timing. One out of place might have been fatal. What happened was that one followed another in exactly the right order, not one out of time or out of place.
Having passed this crisis, the New Deal went on from one problem to another, taking them in the proper order, according to revolutionary technic; and if the handling of one was inconsistent with the handling of another, even to the point of nullity, that was blunder in reverse. The effect was to keep people excited about one thing at a time, and divided, while steadily through all the uproar of outrage and confusion a certain end, held constantly in view, was pursued by main intention. The end held constantly in view was power. ..." https://streamfortyseven.substack.com/p/open-sedition-by-the-administrative-900
“A corporatized, militarized, entrenched bureaucracy that is fully operational and staffed by unelected officials who are, in essence, running the country, this shadow government represents the hidden face of a government that has no respect for the freedom of its citizenry.
No matter which candidate wins the presidential election, this shadow government is here to stay. Indeed, as recent documents by the FBI reveal, this shadow government—also referred to as “The 7th Floor Group”—may well have played a part in who will win the White House this year.
To be precise, however, the future president will actually inherit not one but two shadow governments.
The first shadow government, referred to as COG or Continuity of Government, is made up of unelected individuals who have been appointed to run the government in the event of a “catastrophe.” COG is a phantom menace waiting for the right circumstances—a terrorist attack, a natural disaster, an economic meltdown—to bring it out of the shadows, where it operates even now. When and if COG takes over, the police state will transition to martial law.
Yet it is the second shadow government—also referred to as the Deep State—that poses the greater threat to freedom right now. Comprised of unelected government bureaucrats, corporations, contractors, paper-pushers, and button-pushers who are actually calling the shots behind the scenes, this government within a government is the real reason “we the people” have no real control over our government.
So it’s simple - to restore efficiency to government, remove all parts of the government which are in violation of the Tenth Amendment, including the Regulatory State, the Deep State, the Military Industrial Complex, the Censorship Industrial Complex, the Surveillance Industrial Complex, and the Intelligence Community, and the like, and stop their pay and benefits. They will go away and find something else to do, just like their counterparts in the Communist Bloc governments of Eastern Europe did back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, due to the collapse of those systems of governance, for the same reasons that will eventually cause the collapse of the US government. We can either collapse gracefully and in a somewhat organized manner, or all at once, like the Soviet Union, where Soviet Air Force officers were selling off fighter jets in order to get enough money to eat - or losing them in poker games…
Speaking of Congress critters being frivolous people, we have Fetterman in his gym shorts and some turbaned wife of her brother. Didn’t Nero make his horse a Senator? We are close.
I assume the jews who run Trump have created all the counter-suits they need to move forward. But, even so, 'the Judiciary' has lost its luster to about 50% of the population. Will Trump and the GOP have the guts to defund the federal judiciary? It's doable. The only *national* judiciary in the *constitution* the supreme court. Defund the Federal Judiciary.
Something that I think is felt on the left but perhaps not fully articulated is that we are approaching a transition in American history and it will likely mean discarding ideas and assumptions they have held for at least three generations. Obviously this is terrifying given their general supremacy of the culture and institutions since the civil rights era.
That’s not to say things are in the bag and it’s sunshine and roses for the right, either. We face very serious geo-strategic issues that will have to be dealt with, will have a fiscal reckoning of one kind or another within a generation, and most importantly of all need to have the will to fight for the outcome we want and a lot of the so called conservative movement just wants to be good losers.

In the end, government will be as corrupt as it wants to be. There is no such animal as a non-corrupt government.
The courts now. The streets later.
Life under Karen rule? No thanks.
