Imagine having a job, you weren’t necessarily the boss but you could basically do what you want and without almost an act of congress you could never be fired. This is the SES. It’s unthinkable to watch this government and see people that get fantastically rich, keep their jobs for decades and decades and even when they leave you can still smell the stench of the swamp long after their gone.

After all of the work, all of the nervous days and all of sleepless nights getting Trump over the finish line, 82 year old Mitch McConnell just can’t step away without stabbing us and Trump in the back one last time. He is putting his boot lickers John Cornyn (Texas Globalist) and John Thune (S.Dakota Globalist) up to replace him as majority leader. Either one of these men would assure a big wrench in Trumps government machine. They can hold up every Trump choice, appointment and all legislature in the Senate. Sometimes for months sometimes for years.

McConnell has been in the senate for nearly 40 years, he is worth up to 100 million dollars, and after all of his self enriching time in the senate he just can’t let go of the levers of power and let the voice of the people be heard for even one month, one day, no true representation for us! It’s like Mitch please let go your filthy rich, come on Mitch, give us all a break, it’s time to let it go. No, he is a swamp creature through and through. Mitch is the swamp!

So Rick Scott is running and although he is not perfect he will push the peoples and Trumps agenda through the senate. Mitch has made the majority leader voting secret but it is leaked that Scott only has 11 votes, which would probably eliminate him from the final vote which only allows 2, the 2 hand picked by McConnell.

I suggest we all call the senate and ask to speak to Ted Cruise who says he’s not voting for Rick Scott. And call Josh Hawley who also says he’s not voting for Rick Scott, and anyone else you think of and tell them you want representation in the senate, you want Rick Scott as majority leader in the senate, Please! 202-224-3121. I’ve put comments like this before and get a very blah response. Having the right majority leader could help get schedule F put into law. J.Goodrich

I don't remember which radio commentator I was listening to a couple of weeks ago. (When I'm in the car, talk radio is my friend). It could have been Mark Levin. But they were adamant that we should all call our Senators and tell them to not vote for Thune or Cornyn, because they would certainly gum up the works. Today's Magatoon cartoon sure clinched that thought! I'm going to start calling right now!! We did it last Tuesday, folks. Let's keep up the momentum!! Drain the swamp!!! How refreshing would that be? At 75 years old, I'd sure like to have that feeling before I die!

This is exactly why we need term limits for these career politicians. Politics were never meant to be a career they were meant to serve your country for a short term

Expand full comment

You’re exactly right Brandy. A big reason Mitch doesn’t want Rick Scott is because Scott is for term limits and so is Trump. What do you know. Without decades in the senate these solons can’t get filthy rich, in my state we have Elizebeth Warren, she’s already a multi millionaire. They want a simple job, with no hard work, people kiss their ass, and they get ultra filthy rich. I’ve run a business killing myself for almost 40 years and could never accumulate thousands of dollars never mind millions. It’s time we are really represented in DC!

I follow the swampy DC barn since at least 15 years, Ted Cruz is not to my liking at all, he is a very slick and underhanded person who speaks out from both sides of his mouth. He is very clever/intelligent but certainly not a true patriot. His wife is in the same league of ambivalence.

I think you are wrong about Ted Cruz. I don't know his wife but do know Ted and his father. He is very smart and well spoken.

"The other important point about the SES is that the president has no role in choosing them; he can’t re-assign them or fire them."

Nonetheless, SES employees—with few restrictions— can be transferred by the head of the agency to undesirable geographic locations. They often retire rather than accept those transfers.

"Slow walking" has been the tactic of choice for everyone from recalcitrant two year olds, to tenured professors, to entrenched bureaucrats. At the state level "classified" employees cannot be removed. The only way to cull out the bad actors is to cut positions and reorganize agencies. Make the career "lifeboats" smaller and the SES and "classified" government employees will toss each other overboard.

IMHO, it is easier to "starve a beast" then to "drain a swamp."

"They Just Got Handed Fraudulent Books" - Ed Dowd Confirms Our Warning That Trump Is 'Inheriting A Turd Of An Economy'

"Former Wall Street money manager Ed Dowd is a skillful financial analyst who said in May the economy was skidding. Now, Dowd predicts the economy is poised to “roll over” and soon.

Why is the Fed cutting rates with a record high DOW? Maybe they see the same thing he does. Dowd explains, “Real weekly wage growth was minus 2% going into the election. It is also interesting to know that minus 2% number of wage growth was also in 1980 when Ronald Reagan won in a landslide and also in 1992 when Bill Clinton won in a landslide..."

"I have never seen such blatant manipulation of government statistics.

There is government spending and government hiring to paper over what is truly a bad economy for the average man. When I was asked prior to the election who do you think will win the election, I said Trump has already won, according to the economic statistics. That’s why he won. Bobby Kennedy helped along with Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, lots of people switching and what have you. What really got Trump in was the economy, the real economy, not the stock market.

It was not the ‘everything is hunky-dory’ pablum from the mainstream media.

The real economy has been rolling over, and we are just waiting for the financial markets to figure this out.

When they do, Trump is going to inherit a turd of a financial market crisis.

Government statistics will be updated, and it will show we started a recession sometime this year...

The incoming Trump Administration has to get out in front of the narrative. This was already baked into the cake. They just got handed fraudulent books. So, they are basically going to get blamed for what is coming.

They have to get in front of the narrative and talk about what they were handed. They need to talk about how the stock market is not a real indicator of economic health like it was before the days of raw manipulation.”

"The Secrets of the Federal Reserve" by Eustace Mullins.

"Eustace Mullins is a veteran of the United States Air Force, with thirty-eight months of active service during World War II. A native Virginian, he was educated at Washington and Lee University, New York University, Ohio University, the University of North Dakota, the Escuelas des Bellas Artes, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Washington, D.C.

The original book, published under the title Mullins On The Federal Reserve, was commissioned by the poet Ezra Pound in 1948. Ezra Pound was a political prisoner for thirteen and a half years at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Washington, D.C. (a Federal institution for the insane). His release was accomplished largely through the efforts of Mr. Mullins."

**********

Federal Reserve It is not federal, and it does not have any reserves.

G. Edward Griffin on the Federal Reserve System

**********

The Federal Reserve Bank, a.k.a Federal Reserve System, is a Private Corporation. Black's Law Dictionary defines the "Federal Reserve System" as:

"Network of twelve central banks to which most national banks belong and to which state chartered banks may belong. Membership rules require investment of stock and minimum reserves."

Privately-owned banks own the stock of the FED.

This was explained in more detail in the case of Lewis v. United States, Federal Reporter, 2nd Series, Vol. 680, Pages 1239, 1241 (1982), where the court said:

"Each Federal Reserve Bank is a separate corporation owned by commercial banks in its region. The stock-holding commercial banks elect two thirds of each Bank's nine member board of directors".

**********

On June 10, 1932, Louis T. McFadden, said in an address to the Congress:

"We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks... Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions.

The Fed is not a USA Government institutions.

They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers...

The Federal Reserve Bank Of financial pirates, there are those who would cut a man's throat to keep their agents of the foreign central banks... In that dark crew get a dollar out of his pocket...

Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its powers, but the truth is the Fed has usurped the government. It controls everything here (in Congress) and controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will... When the Fed was passed, the people of the United States did not perceive that a world system was being set up here...

A super-state controlled by international bankers, and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure!"

***********

Prior to his death, there had been two attempts on McFadden’s life. The first was when McFadden dodged two bullets fired at him at close range. The second attempt was when McFadden was poisoned at a banquet. McFadden was in New York City visiting his wife, and son in September 1936, when he was taken ill at his hotel and died of coronary thrombosis. The circumstances around his death remain suspicious. The result of McFadden’s death was the most outspoken, and articulate critic of the Federal Reserve being silenced forever.

"The other big problem that Trump needs to get in front of is the CV19 bioweapon vax disaster. Dowd says, “We have been monitoring and tracking excess deaths, disabilities and injuries such as heart attacks, neurological problems, cancers and liver issues..."

" There is a whole host of issues that have gone off the charts since the introduction of the Covid vaccines.

As of 2023, there was about 1.2 million excess deaths in the US. There were about four million disabilities and about 32 million injured. . . .

Our calculations, conservatively speaking, are 8 million to 15 million dead globally, 40 million to 60 million disabled and 500 million to 900 million injured where their immune system is so compromised that they are getting sick all the time.

You’ve got to think about it as a funnel. Most of the numbers are injured, and then the next level down are disabled and then dead. People can funnel down from one category to the next.

We have a problem here because we have 10% to 13% excess mortality currently running. . . . We are running once in 200 year flood numbers in 2024. . . . This is not over.

It is going to stay with us for decades. The way to mitigate that is there needs to be national awareness so people can treat the problems they have. This is the biggest healthcare failure we have ever seen. We need to pull the mRNA vaccines and have a global truth moment...

We continue to go along with a wink and a nod to pretend there is not a problem. We are not going to talk about Covid and the mRNA vaccines, and in my mind, this is unethical, immoral and criminal.”

Judge rules AstraZeneca, other COVID jab makers NOT immune from injury claims for breach of contract.

The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, which Congress passed just before President Trump declared a public health emergency for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) in early 2020, is not enough to shield the pharmaceutical industry from liability for breach of contract, a U.S. judge ruled this past week.

In a feverish attempt to create the perfect con for Big Pharma to rake in the dough during the "pandemic," both sides of the American political aisle rushed through the PREP Act, believing it would be the perfect liability shield for COVID jab makers like AstraZeneca, which is on the hook for injuries.

Wow! I'm impressed with your understanding of the dark machinations that happen deep within the bowels of the executive branch. The machinations that occur therein and with executive manipulation are surely made with the intent that the public not understand how biased and unaccountable bureaucrats are empowered to undermine our democracy. It it surely done to empower corporate and/or globalists interests who would love to keep the "Deep State" firmly entrenched in their behalf. The past four years has been an education in how deceit, fraud, and corruption have penetrated into so many features of our government. In disgust and horror, I have often found myself wanting to wipe all of Washington off the map and rebuild government elsewhere, on a much smaller plot of land. Yet there are many good people in Washington, who have been stymied by the surreptitious actions of the SES and other corrupted parts of Washington. I would like to believe that the new administration can clean up this complicated mess, but I remain alternately skeptical and cautiously optimistic. Trump could use people like you in his administration who understand the dark side of our government.

I was a Personnel Mgmt Specialist in the VA and was on the DOD PIO's press announcement distribution list until the exact same day PDJT's Twitter account was suspended (And my account and 10's of thousands of patriots as well.) when I was unceremoniously terminated with no explanation. From 2009-2013, Obozo hired hundreds of SES appointees to DOD and without exception, the bio on each showed they were either a Demonrat congressional or senate staffer or a former employee in a left-wing think tank in WDC. Let's hope PDJT can crack this nut. BTW, the President, as the Chief Executive, has the absolute authority to assign (Or reassign.) the work within the Executive Branch. There is nothing that could stop him from determining the needs of the nation dictated that reassigning certain staff to a windowless basement room in WDC to do book reports was necessary.

Having worked (pro-bono) with an agency for 15 years, AND served on a Federal Advisory Committee, it is indeed the SES employees who thwart, hinder, water down, avoid, and delay commonsense changes by the constituents it is intended to help. It is infuriating. These are NOT necessarily the best people, but they ARE the most well-connected in many, many cases. MOST frustrating are the attempts to govern non-transparently - it breeds further discontent and distrust from advocates and constituents alike. Many have been moved around like bad priests.

Great discussion! Thank you! Was unaware of the actions taken re Schedule F, after OBiden's assumption of power. Hopefully the Trump transition team is hot on the issue.

As a former Fed ee, lived during the development of the scheme. Our SES appointee occasionally visited us to peer over our shoulders. It was she who advised businesses routinely paid fed fines for infractions rather than incur costs of fixing problems (cheaper). Then there were the EEO hires with equal grades, who physically ran around delivering orders from above.

It seemed clear to me (at a time I was generally politically - Hatch Act - uninvolved) the initiatives represented liberal/Democratic values.

Given the role the SES has assumed, they sorely deserve "at will" status! They are absolutely in a position to stop and destroy MAGA/MAHA efforts. Particularly if the election in 2026 would end Trump's Congressional support.

The totalitarian disease within the fed gov doesn’t end at the SES. Hopefully, under the present description, it will reach down to the 'employee' ranks as well.

Amazing the depths of counter-offensives that have been perfected (just in case) in the last 4 years. Praying we are up to squashing them!

Beautiful day! Many pleasures for all.
