Now We See Who Is Running the Federal Government

5/2/24

I wrote several years ago on my observations at my son’s Harvard graduation. What I saw then was the two largest departments receiving diplomas were Public Policy, and Law. Consider that between Harvard and Yale, a disproportionate number of our federal bureaucracy personnel comes from these two institutions. They have been stocking our federal government for decades and we are reaping the “benefits” of that inculcating now.

At that ceremony, Angela Merkel was the commencement speaker. She regaled the audience by denigrating our then President Trump. With thunderous applause and standing ovations, the audience made clear their political chops. These people, and the thousands that went before them, control the federal government. For those of you who think its our elected officials, want to buy the Brooklyn bridge?

The actions of students and their agitators that started in the Ivy League schools over the past week should make the case abundantly clear that we must take control of government and not it of us. The inmates running the asylum is so appropriate as it applies to both the universities, some businesses and clearly, the federal government. These rich white kids have been spoon fed the travails of the big bad USA while enjoying the vast fruits of it.  They think, no, they know, they know best. Never having to worry about where their next meal will come from makes it easy to pontificate about this or that fad issue of the day. Oh how empathetic they all are as they run home to moms and dads that have coddled them their entire lives. It won’t be long before they turn on them too in true Maoist fashion.

President Trump has raised the “swamp” issue and as a result, the swamp is fighting back to the death. From the beginning, they saw his incursion into their control of our lives as a threat to their hold on power and rightly so. His mentioning the power the public employee labor unions and civil service have over personnel practices only heightened their paranoia of a second term. Hence, the scorched earth efforts to derail his candidacy.

Regardless of who gets elected, these indoctrinated people will remain at the helm of the execution of policies that they interpret absent of clearly spelled out laws. Regulation, not law, are the deciding factors in how we live our lives. More attention must be drawn to those who actually run our government.
