Trump and his cabinet nominess will move the country from an administrative state to the sort of republic the Founders envisioned.
There have been thousands of words written about the 2024 presidential election, but I think Jeffrey Tucker’s article at Brownstone best summarized the sea change in votes cast , and Victor Davis Hanson best describes the cabinet nominees so far of greatest significance, people selected in part to avenge their treatment by the prior lawless administration.
Tucker argues that what we are seeing is an actual, not purported, transfer of power. A transfer from a permanent government to a new one actually responsive to actual voters against pollster predictions:
What was correct were the betting odds on Polymarket, and only days later, the FBI raided the 26-year-old founder’s home and confiscated his phone and laptop. There are still many millions of missing voters, people who supposedly showed up for Biden in 2020 but stayed home this time. Meanwhile, there has been a historic shift in all races, ethnicities, and regions, with even the possibility of flipping California from blue to red in the future. After decades of academic slicing and dicing of the population according to ever more eccentric identity buckets involving race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual interest, along with countless thousands of studies documenting deep complexity over intersectionality, the driving force of the election was simple: class, and the few intellectuals and some wealthy entrepreneurs who understand that. The division was not really left vs right. It was workers vs laptoppers, wage earners vs six-figure stay-at-homers, bottom half vs top 5 percent, people with actual skills vs weaponized resume wielders, and those with affection for old-world values vs those whose educations have beaten it out of them for purposes of career advancement.

With Trump’s selection of people who have been abused by the system it is clear that there will be enthusiasm for his reform vision.
I think a lot more than we thought realized we were right on the edge of the abyss, and that if we didn’t reach out and grab a branch to save ourselves we were done for good.
The US is a nation governed by laws and regulations. It is not a business where managers are in control. Bringing in good people can often fix a business.
The US has many bad laws and bad regulations. Trump’s picks will have to follow the laws.
Changing the regulations is not a fix in itself. Come 2028 the appointees of a President Newsom can bring back those same regulations claiming the same Congressional statutory authority under which the regulations were issued in the first place.
Even in 2025, leftist DoJ and agency people in a Trump administration with civil service protection can claim the statutory law should be interpretated in the fashion the regulations under Biden said they should be. And the judges appointed by Democrats (and Trump and Bush) can agree with the rogues.
Bad laws and regulations need to get fixed at the Congressional level.
Trump must not weaken the Republican majorities in Congress.
Clint Brown [VP of Government Relations at Heritage?]suggests to those disappointed in the outcome that under Thune reform is coming, that Thune has promised that senators will now have the right to amend, cut, and change legislation and ”vote on specific provisions of bills until they reach agreement.” That means voters, too, will have a possibility for greater input and senators will be more accountable to constituents.

Clarice, darling, they were fake votes! Come on hon, say it. Right now fake votes are flowing in races that are still being counted in CA, AZ, MI and PA. People who cheat have to go to jail.
I am almost through reading Hegseth's "The War on Warriors" and am shocked at what he has to say about the state of our military. It is far worse than I imagined.
As Hegseth says (I paraphrase), once the Marxists are done defanging the military with DEI/Equity/CRT, they will own America.
If Hegseth or someone like him doesn't clean house as SecDef, it's over.
“Mental illness is caused by believing bad ideas”
-Kilgore Trout
Democrats believe bad ideas, they are mentally ill.
President Trump ran ahead of almost all Republican U.S. Senate candidates.
You can check the numbers for yourself.
He is carrying the Republican Party on his back.
Clarice says that Mark Halperin believes that even the most contentious nominees (RFK and Gaetz) will be confirmed because Republican senators are under pressure from their constituents, donors, staff, family members, et al. who want jobs in the Trump administration.
Yes and the pool-pah is about to strike them!
Kilgore Trout!
I highly recommend his ‘Venus on the Halfshell’ if you can find a copy!

Until their final short drop and quick stop, the Demonicrats and DeepStaters will not go quietly or peacefully.

From the article:
“This week even the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals weighed in on the issue in Marin Audubon Society v. FAA, in which it held that the Council on Environmental Quality lacked any authority to prescribe the content of environmental impact statements, something it had been doing since 1978. Think! For over four decades this agency has been deciding when such statements are necessary (each of which cost thousands and thousands of dollars to prepare) and what they must contain while acting with no legal authority to do so.”
Any new regulations will have to come from new LAW. Another Lefty president cannot just institute new regulations where they have no authority. At least that’s how I read this.
But just to be sure, I prefer to terminate most of these agencies outright. Then it’ll be harder for future administrations to tie us up with stupid regulations.
