“This town is now as nervous as it’s ever been.” That’s Congressman Chip Roy’s assessment of the mood in Washington, D.C., since President Trump’s return to the White House. It’s one of several dozen refreshingly blunt descriptions of American politics in Ned Ryun’s new documentary based on his book, American Leviathan. The documentary is available to anyone with an Internet connection, and it is nothing short of a declaration of war on the administrative state.
I highlighted Ryun’s book when it came out last September for several reasons. First, it is a remarkably clear description of the ideas, people, and events that led us to this unique moment in history — when the inevitable clash between the authoritarian bureaucracy and the constitutional Republic has come to a head. There was nothing “natural” about this process. The vast and unaccountable administrative state did not arise from the U.S. Constitution; it is a repudiation of the Constitution. The unelected bureaucracy does not reflect the wishes of the American people; it is the polar opposite of representative government. No matter how many propagandists defend Big Government as “our Democracy,” the ever-growing Leviathan is thoroughly authoritarian in disposition. It jealously guards its expanding powers and despises American citizens who insist that legitimate government comes only from the consent of the people. It is such an unnatural beast that it must spy on Americans, censor their speech, and intimidate them into submission merely to maintain control. The administrative state is “government by coercion” and the antithesis of limited government and individual liberty.
Second, Ryun is a rather unique political operative in that he “walks the walk” every bit as much as he “talks the talk.” He is an effective warrior when it comes to getting Republicans elected

How many bureaucrats does Trump need to fire?
The Lefty Dems want to rename their party “The Common Sense Party” based on Sandy Cortez and Bernie’s rallies against oligarchs. DOGE= Dumb Oligarchs Get Even. They’re nuts I tell you. Nuts!
They do not realize elections have little effect on the Bureacrats “Webes”* run the Deep State. (*We be here long after you’re gone)
Damned near all of them.
BTTT
Three quarters of them.
Trump is bringing back so many industries there are more than enough jobs to absorb those who will be laid off. Also they will have healthier lives as they find out how good it feels to actually be productive.
Bernie and AOC are the party of the unelected corrupt bureaucracy. And the 'oligarchy' they speak of? It's the 1% by a different name. When old names stop working democrats come up with a new name. NOT new ideas - just new 'names'... Class envy gussied up as something other than jealousy.
I just watched author Michael Lewis on CSPAN. He wrote The Blind Side and Moneyball. Then I read The Fifth Risk. Great writer who should stick to sports. Hates Trump and loves government workers.The 5th Risk came out in 2017 right after Trump took office-didn’t even give him a chance and now Trump takes office again and he writes another after the people have spoken loud and clear.Some will never get it.
That’s what sledgehammers are for.
This is an incredible author. I will be keeping an eye out for this person. Bravo Zulu on their writing skills.
It seems only fair. Bureaucratic Tyranny has been at war with the Trump Administration for many years now.
Next, maybe the Bureaucrats will claim to be victims....
The honey jar of free money for democraps is closing fast...
Beware the Bureaucratic-Judicial complex (BJC).
[[The Lefty Dems want to rename their party “The Common Sense Party” ]]
They might as well... they gotta ask themselves why give up lying at this stage of the game?
Thanks, but doesn’t sound like he’s any greater than Keith Olberman. :^)
I think 90% +++
No, it is not. There is no war without POW’s. So, where are the perp walks? Lacking that, this Admin is no better than Obama’s. All talk. Accusations I can get from CNN.
