If things aren’t working, it’s because those who work within the federal government don’t want them to work.
I am amazed how many words have been wasted trying to explain this or that government policy that is hurting the American people. Don’t we know by now that, if a government program seems not to be useful, it was designed to be that way?
Instead of taking each program and dissecting it, the trick here is to bundle them together to better understand their motivation: importing cheap foreign labor, increasing energy costs, the irresponsible tolerance of cancel culture, vaccine mandates, anti-ableism, defunding the police, bail elimination, supporting inflationary policies, the failure to prosecute rioters on the political Left while taking political prisoners on the Right, promoting racial division, stamping out debate on government policies, assaults on private property rights, selectively enforcing the law, etc.
What ties these policies together? The U.S. government, in the form of many elected officials and the permanent bureaucracy, is deathly afraid of the People of the United States. Likewise, members of the government characterized President Trump as evil arose because they feared his policies.
Both ordinary Americans and President Trump have badly misunderstood the nature of our government. They believe it has the potential to be a benign force for good. With that in mind, by repeating many times and in many fora the idea that our government is “of the People, by the People, and for the People,” the People have scared the living daylights out of government lifers, elected officials, and the powerful elites outside of government.
It is for this reason President Obama acquired and distributed huge amounts of weaponry to myriad government agencies. Government employees needed these weapons to defend themselves should the People come rapping at their door.

“Instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to roll back the every encroaching bureaucracy, the GOP Congress fought the Republican president while conducting business as usual with the Democrats.
Obama initiated the transformation of the bureaucracy into a political force. When it had the opportunity to use the power of the purse to reign in the bureaucracy, the GOP did nothing.“
This explains EVERYTHING that anybody needs to know about this nation’s problems.
-Our POLITICIANS are allied - against We the People.
If we don’t learn to stop arguing with Uncle Fred, that neighbor with the Biden sign, etc…. And identify that our REAL enemies are OUR POLITICIANS, we will lose the fight and learn to enjoy slavery like our friends in North Korea and Venezuela…
Think about it and it will hit you. Someone just posted that 14.5% work for the Feds. That means the rest of us work to support them. Are you good now?
SOOOOOOO well said!!!!
Bkmk
"At this strange moment in history, Americans of the ordinary kind are left only with hope, prayer, resignation, and as a last resort, groveling until our floundering economy is forced to respond to the realities of a failing complex system."
I won't grovel. And the last resort is the "break glass in case of emergency kind". Which why they're desperately trying to set up a gun registry.
That was a comprehensive listing of what we are facing
I’ve never been more ashamed and more afraid of our federal government than I am now. Would be even worse if I lived in a blue state. At least I have found some relief here and a place to make my stand.
And yet I’m constantly told at FR that a Convention of the States is too dangerous to contemplate.
Despite the theft of 2020 and everything since, we’re told to just keep voting.
