The Coming Tidal Change in US Government Executive Branches Management

Reposted from Brownstone Institute - July 14, 2025 

The Racket Unravels

This past week, the Supreme Court delivered an opinion that could change everything, if not immediately then eventually. It permits the elected president to control the composition of the executive workforce. This involves millions of people in hundreds of agencies who heretofore imagined themselves to be the true and permanent government of the US. 


The administrative state has never been lawful by the words of the US Constitution. There is no fourth branch of government. There is no independent agency that operates on its own, responsive only to the corporations with whom it has a revolving door and working in tandem with the national media. That’s how the system has worked for one hundred years. 


No more. The effects of this decision, and several others dating back only one year, is fundamental to the cause of freedom itself. It won’t be enough to protect the country against more despotic moves such as we have lived through, but it is an excellent start. 


The turning point was of course Covid, when the deep state called the shots, invaded our communities and homes and then imposed experimental shots in violation of the Nuremberg Code. This was the turning point. No free people can live this way, not with the reality nor the threat that it could happen again. 


Almost daily, we see some first steps at justice. In 2021, Dr. Kirk Moore of Utah had a bad feeling about these shots and made it possible for people to avoid them. He distributed saline shots and vaccine passports widely. The Department of Justice went after him, incarcerated him for 12 days, and put him on trial. 


The good news came yesterday that the Department of Justice has completely dropped the case, mostly in response to pleas from lawmakers who cared and growing groups of protesters. The man is a hero, and is now free. The trauma, however, lasts and lasts for a lifetime. He is one victim of millions, and there is much more to do. 


Other legal progress is unfolding gradually, with several of our partner organizations prevailing in the long slog. Much more to do.

D.O.G.E. Progress Report to the President - February 11, 2025

 As Laura Ingraham says, it's Christmas every morning. 

Yesterday Elon Musk reported to President Trump. It was awesome. I lost count of how many gifts arrived in that report.  The best review is by  Jeff Childers and I could not hope to match it.

long but a great review worth your time.

Pressed for time? chatGPT summary to the rescue. You are welcome, but you'll miss Jeff's great writing and clever nuances.


☕️ SWAMP APOCALYPSE ☙ Wednesday, February 12, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠Summary

### **Summary of Key Points:**


#### **1. Trump’s Unexpected Offensive Against the Deep State**

- Instead of taking a defensive stance against legal challenges, Trump launched an aggressive, coordinated assault through an executive order and multiple press conferences.

- Speaker Mike Johnson supported Trump’s decision to withhold congressionally approved payments deemed wasteful or fraudulent, further solidifying GOP unity against bureaucratic spending.

- Johnson dismissed Democrat claims of a "constitutional crisis" and criticized their selective adherence to the rule of law.


#### **2. The Role of DOGE in Exposing Government Waste**

- DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) is uncovering financial mismanagement in federal agencies.

- Johnson met with Elon Musk, praising DOGE for revealing budget inefficiencies hidden from Congress.

- A budget reconciliation bill is being prepared, leveraging DOGE’s findings to justify major spending cuts, potentially dismantling agencies like USAID.


#### **3. Declassification Task Force’s New Transparency Push**

- Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna announced a Congressional task force focused on declassifying key documents.

- Among the files set for release: JFK, MLK, and RFK assassinations, 9/11 records, UFOs, COVID-19 origins, and Jeffrey Epstein’s client list.

- This initiative could erode public trust in government institutions by exposing longstanding cover-ups.


#### **4. Musk and Trump’s Oval Office Press Conference**

- Elon Musk, alongside Trump, delivered a status update on DOGE’s work, highlighting egregious government waste:

  - Overpayment for migrant housing.

  - Social Security checks issued to people over 150 years old.

  - Inefficient record-keeping stored in underground mines.

- Musk declared DOGE will investigate public officials who became wealthy in office, intensifying scrutiny of bureaucratic corruption.


#### **5. Executive Order for Federal Workforce Reduction**

- Trump signed an executive order limiting new government hires (1 for every 4 departures) and mandating agencies to work with DOGE on downsizing efforts.

- New conduct rules for federal employees aim to curb leaks, tax evasion, and misuse of government resources.

- This order bypasses judicial obstacles and forces immediate cuts in bureaucracy.


#### **6. Strategic Shift: Congress and the Executive vs. Judiciary**

- By using budget reconciliation, Trump and Congress sidestep court challenges, making bureaucratic funding cuts nearly irreversible.

- The Swamp was caught off guard, expecting legal battles but now facing financial starvation.

- The GOP’s new approach reframes the battle as “The People vs. The Bureaucracy” rather than a partisan fight.


#### **7. The Deep State’s Existential Crisis**

- Three simultaneous threats: budget cuts, declassification, and corruption investigations.

- The judiciary is rendered ineffective as Congress and the Executive take direct action.

- Trump’s strategy represents the most significant effort to dismantle the administrative state in U.S. history.


#### **Conclusion:**

- The political battlefield has shifted dramatically in a single day.

- The Deep State is now under siege from multiple angles, with Congress and the Executive aligned against entrenched bureaucratic power.

- The next phase will focus on legislative battles, further disclosures, and structural reforms to shrink the government’s influence.


🔥 **A turning point in the fight against the administrative state has begun.**

The Rebirth of America 1/27/2025

Our country was changed in less than a week to make a U-turn back to our roots of individualism, self-reliance, and as minimal government interference as possible. The Government is the enemy that must be kept small to be controlled if the citizens are to live free.

This is the best summary I have seen so far. One could summarize it as: 

Trump found a bankrupt business, froze all spending, and required zero-based budgeting before anyone could spend another dime - It's that simple, done routinely to failing businesses. The US was on the road to bankruptcy and our President may have stopped it just in time.
