The swamp at Foggy bottom is draining.

Albeit slowly.

How about another change— make an executive order eliminating from cabinet agencies ANY government employee unions. And cite FDR when he does it. NO fedgov employee should be in a union— period, on the basis that they may not “lobby” to increase funding for their agency (and by so doing, increase their union membership). In NO other employment would this capability exist— private company employees of course should be able to organize into a union. Not fedgov lifetime employees. This is what is bankrupting States and the ever increasing (hint: baseline budgeting increases) for the last 50 years in the federal government. Ask any fedgov management (who uh, isn’t in the same union as their employees).

Closing the whole State department for 20 years would be a great thing.

Blessed be the Name of The Lord. Praise God. Works for me. May it become a mass exodus.

Obama-era appointees and other traitors have low morale under a bona fide American President? Hit the bricks! Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.

With the great reception Trump is getting in Asia, bad timing for this article fretting over diminishing relationships with the world.

It’s what these career diplomats do on the sly and the leaks that worry me.

If the department was top heavy with career bureaucrats...

IF???

Foggy Bottom is the very worst of the worst federal agencies. Not only career bureaucrats, but all one-worlders, largely pro-totalitarian. Good riddance! Winning! Indeed.

The state department has been a hotbed of anti-americanism since the 20s
