Wednesday Morning Rant
Over the past eight years, I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250 year history, and I've learned a lot along the way the journey to reclaim our republic has not been an easy one that I can tell you.That quote from his inaugural address is an extremely good sign. "I know how you operate, I know your tricks, I know your schemes, and your old playbook ain't gonna work this time" is a promising indicator to say the least.
There was more from the inaugural address that bodes well in terms of attitude and approach:
My recent election has a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal, and all of these many betrayals that have taken place, and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed, their freedom.That is not putting to fine a point on it. Starkly presenting the system as it was - and sadly, as it is and as it will remain for some time - to underscore his mandate and ambitions is also a good sign. But there have been direct actions so far that give me hope that he might be able to accomplish something in terms of wresting control of the bureaus away from the Party men. From his victory speech after the inauguration:
I will implement an immediate regulation freeze which will stop Biden bureaucrats from continuing to regulate. Most of those bureaucrats are being fired, they're gone. ... I'll also issue a temporary hiring freeze to ensure that we're only hiring competent people who are faithful to the American public, ...Those EOs are now in effect. The regulatory freeze reads in part:
Do not propose or issue any rule in any manner, including by sending a rule to the Office of the Federal Register (the "OFR"), until a department or agency head appointed or designated by the President after noon on January 20, 2025, reviews and approves the rule.along with this absurd component that shouldn't be necessary:
...
Immediately withdraw any rules that have been sent to the OFR but not published in the Federal Register, so that they can be reviewed and approved as described
Comply in all circumstances with any applicable Executive Orders concerning regulatory management.The hiring freeze reads in part:
I hereby order a freeze on the hiring of Federal civilian employees, to be applied throughout the executive branch. As part of this freeze, no Federal civilian position that is vacant at noon on January 20, 2025, may be filled, and no new position may be created except as otherwise provided for in this memorandum or other applicable law.These EOs are, in my opinion, extremely important in terms of the power struggle within the bureaus. It remains to be seen how effective they will be and how much compliance Trump can force down the throats of the agencies and what the consequences will be for the inevitable obstruction, dodging and outright disobedience from the #Resist set, but these are excellent moves to take right out of the gate. "The crap you pushed through or are about to is all canceled. There will be no more of you people hired. We're taking control and you are all on hold until we impose our will. Everything you are working on is on hold. You will sit in your offices and do nothing until we figure out what to do with you." That is a good thing. The obstructionists and those doing the Party's business are forbidden from doing what they do for the time being, and presumably Trump will have some recourse against those who disobey him. And the EO hits keep coming in furtherance of the attempt to prevent cronyism once the hiring freeze is lifted:
...
Contracting outside the Federal Government to circumvent the intent of this memorandum is prohibited.
(b) This Federal Hiring Plan shall: (i) prioritize recruitment of individuals committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution; (ii) prevent the hiring of individuals based on their race, sex, or religion, and prevent the hiring of individuals who are unwilling to defend the Constitution or to faithfully serve the Executive Branch;If he can enforce it, no more Party Man shoe-ins. Or at least, fewer of them. Good. The civil service is supposed to be professional, right? Go for merit. The SES is is on notice, too.
(c) Each agency head shall, as necessary and appropriate and consistent with the procedural requirements of section 3395 of title 5, United States Code, reassign agency SES members to ensure their knowledge, skills, abilities, and mission assignments are optimally aligned to implement my agenda; (d) Each agency head should terminate its existing Executive Resources Board (ERB), institute a new or interim ERB, and assign senior noncareer officials to chair and serve on the board as a majority alongside career members; (e) Each agency head should terminate its existing Performance Review Board membership and re-constitute membership with individuals committed to full enforcement of SES performance evaluations that promote and assure an SES of the highest caliber; and (f) Any agency head who becomes aware of an SES official whose performance or continued occupancy of the position is inconsistent with either the principles reaffirmed in this Order or their duties to the Nation under section 3131 of title 5, United States Code, shall immediately take all appropriate actions, up to and including removal of that official, with the support of OPM and OMB. Restoring an accountable government workforce is a top priority of my Administration.Oh, so you're an SES big shot? Don't even think about losing that cushy gig by stepping out of line, or the new boss will fire you with the full approval of the president. Boy, I hope that one bears fruit. Make the executive ranks think twice. And another big one:
To remedy these abuses of the public trust, this Order directs the revocation of any active or current security clearances held by: (i) the former intelligence officials who engaged in misleading and inappropriate political coordination with the 2020 Biden presidential campaign; and (ii) John R. Bolton.Ouch. John Bolton, one of the cheapest whores in Washington, got called out directly for his malfeasance. Gotta hurt. I could go on. And on. And on. And on. But this word hole is already more than twice as long as it should be. Trump had a very busy first day, and all of it is extremely promising. A substantial amount of it - at least six EOs - are directly related to reining in the federal workforce and bringing them to heel. One of my biggest questions has been the one in the opening paragraph: how will Trump wrest control of the renegade bureaus (that is, all of the bureaus) from the Party apparatchiks packed into them from bottom to top? We're seeing part of the strategy now. All of this will be challenged. Most of it will be delayed. Much of it will probably be overturned. But he's taking a page out of the Party's book and flooding the zone, hitting from all sides and hammering it hard. This is a promising start and a strong opening play in what will be a very, very long game to contain and excise the metastatic Party cancer in the bureaus.

I think a part of his strategy is to create traps for Resistance bureaucrats to fall into.
Firing an unelected bureaucrat without cause is hard. Firing an unelected bureaucrat who clearly violated a legal EO is probably easier, one might call it cause.

This is going to be a big, big fight.
The original idea behind SES was that the senior positions in the Federal government didn't pay enough, so SES was created - the deal was allegedly that in exchange for the extra pay, you gave up civil service protections, and could be fired.
Then, of course, they changed the rules and said that if you tried to fire a SES person, the SES person could just elect to revert to being a GS-15, with full civil service protections.

I'm okay with that use of "democracy". Because "democracy" means people + rule. And that's what it is to a people. Yes, the structure is a republic. Our government is a republic. But it can still deliver "democracy" to the people, not because it *is* a "democracy", but because it has been reformed to give it back to the people.

The fight is that Congress has passed a lot of laws to "protect" Federal employees.
All these employees work for the Executive Branch, and there is a real legal question whether Congress can legislate how the President chooses to manage the Executive Branch.

NEW - Taiwan indicts ex-general over 'armed' group to help China invasion
A retired lieutenant general in Taiwan has been charged after using funds from China to recruit military personnel for an "armed" group that would assist invading Chinese forces, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The retired lieutenant general surnamed Kao was among six people indicted for violating the national security law, the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office said in a statement.
Kao and another defendant used Chinese funds to form “an armed organisation” that would act as an “internal collaborator” if China attacked Taiwan, prosecutors said.
They also engaged in “scouting, contacting, wooing and absorbing retired and active servicemen”, putting national security in a “dangerous state”.

I think it's a basic constitutional question.
The executive has no authority to cede power over its office to the legislature, and that's exactly what ever civil service law signed by a president does.
And the idea that there are unelected worker bees who have greater claim over the running of any part of the executive than the president elected by the Electoral College is deeply unAmerican.

Once upon a time, many people - including many of us here, believed in a robust US foreign policy. The idea of "fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here" is sound... or it would be but for what we've learned since.
It was a hard lesson to discover that forces within the US government are responsible for creating the scenarios which permitted/"necessitated" military action abroad. Some here still have difficulty with that fact, at least when Russia is also involved.
Bolton seemed resolute, serious, and he was glib enough to lull willing listeners. Many former "stars" on the right have been discovered to be charlatans who merely choose to focus on a different grift - likely because they're white.

It could get you access. If you're clearance wasn't pulled and it's at X level, you get access to that info. Maybe not sitting in a classified briefing, live, but it might get you access to what was discussed. At some level of detail.

That was very, very convenient for the Deep State - it allowed them to put Sicknick on display in the Capitol Rotunda with a massive funeral, and pretend that Sicknick was a January 6th martyr.

Say, does the CIA and other US intelligence agencies have any drugs that would trigger a stroke, without being noticed in a post-death medical exam?

Mission accomplished, then. Trump's flurry of EOs and pardons, with J6 front and center, has created too much for simpleminded leftists to focus on. They are hollering about J6 when that is the least of Trump's actions in the grand scheme of things. But leftists just cannot get over J6. They never will. It's a fetish, a perversion, a distracting shiny thing that calls their name like a goat's ass does to Ahmed.

I already KNOW you don't have the brain power to get around how the two relate to each other. You're probably thinking "Park Police AREN'T Capitol Police! Secret Service ISN'T DC Metro!" They aren't a SPECIAL CASE as DC Metro and Capitol Police--apparently who are SO SPECIAL that they defy the Dem-promoted equation "All Cops Are Bastards" that DEMs saw no need to counter.

I downloaded the software required to get a security clearance way back when and filled everything out. After I submitted the information, I was told I needed to have a job which required a security clearance before one would be granted. Meanwhile, the jobs in question required I get a security clearance before applying.

Manitoba has too much of the "gimmiedat" mentality, despite being resource rich. I'd freeze them out. Most of B.C. is probably as conservative minded as Alberta, excluding the Lower mainland (the huge urb containing Vancouver) and Vancouver Island. I would partition B.C. and take the bigger part of it. Nets a good seaport at Prince Rupert, too. Also snag the Mackenzie Valley segment of Northwest Territory: oil, gas, gold, diamonds, and access to Arctic.

Don't take it personally. The usajobs.gov website is one of the worst software abortions I've ever seen. After I retired, I was looking for a PT job to ease the transition. I'm highly skilled, with very specific attributes that very few people have, and one job for which I applied read like it was written specifically for me. Did I mention that I was an ex-Fed with 33 years of service, and a security clearance? I applied, heard nothing for months, and then was eventually told that my qualifications didn't match the criteria. I never found out why.
And the government wonders why they don't get more quality applicants.

Senior Executive Service
It's intended as a way to skirt the ridiculous CS pay scale. Otherwise, it's impossible to hire good top managers. And before the usual suspects have an aneurysm, I'll say it again: the CS pay scale is compressed. Low skill people are overpaid, and high skill people are underpaid. The high COL of the DC area has greatly exacerbated the problem.

True. The hardest part of ANY federal job is the application itself. Best advice I can give anyone trying to maneuver USAjobs is to load your resume up with their favored keywords (find them in their "requirements" section,) and answer every single KSA (knowledge, skills, abilities) question in the affirmative whether true or not.

The missile exploded as two Propellant Transfer System airmen, Sgt. Jeff Kennedy and Sr. Airman David Livingston, were attempting to vent the leaking fuel and potentially save the missile.

"Gates isn’t the first climate crusader to face criticism for sounding the alarm on climate change despite a personal carbon footprint far larger than the average American. Former Vice President Al Gore frequently flies a private jet while living in a luxurious mansion with a large carbon footprint. Gore, a vegan, says he offsets his travel emissions with a program that balances out this behavior by funding tree planting and other carbon-negative activities."

IIRC, Gore got his carbon offsets as a perk of being an officer in a carbon offset selling company.
Brilliant, in a way.

Feed a wife and children, say his daily prayers?
And who has the right, as master of the house,
To have the final word at home?

I've been reading some Egyptian online sources since the war in Gaza began, and was surprised to find out that Egyptians today all admit without hesitation that Sadat's assassination was not some terrorist attack (which was claimed at the time) but a carefully orchestrated hit carried out by the Egyptian Armed Forces, which had become quite tired of the way Sadat was running things.

I have less of a problem with property taxes as they are localized in your County and State. Where you have, theoretically, a say in the amount and the use.

If there isn't already a tree growing there, there is a good reason why.
And the tree you plant is almost certain to die.
Unless you intend to come back every week to water and weed around it?

You remember how Biden tried to use his unlimited dictatorial power as President to create the ERA as the 28th?
And how everyone started talking about lawsuits to support it in the face of everything that indicates that it is the fabrication of a desperate administration?
It seems that there is not a lot of case law or constitutional law about how amendments are adopted since it is sort of done on a handshake and agreement basis, and if there is enough noise, all the sudden the process of adoption gets called into question, and THEN such important questions about the legality of the 16th amendment can be considered.

What property tax should not fund is the day-to-day operation of schools, teacher's salaries, etc. Property tax should be reserved for funding capital investment in infrastructure that accrues to the benefit of the property being taxed. One can make the argument that a new school building improves one's property value as it acts as a magnet to draw new residents to the area.

I’d be for not paying property tax for any property owner that use no local services or public access roads. The alternative is to pay for the services you want or need directly to the government department provider.
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at January 22, 2025 12:31 PM (D6PGr)
It definitely does increase the value of your home if you are in a good school district. That said , some states give you an over 65 exemption where you don’t pay school tax .
