Electoral beat the clock

In his first term President Donald Trump refused to add any new federal regulation without four being vanquished. This time, the ratio should be for each additional regulation 25 are repealed. Why so many? Because in these waning days of the Biden administration, the unelected administrative bureaucratic swamp is Trump proofing their fiefdoms. 

What federal office, department, or program is truly effective and efficient, yet the D.C. swamp creatures don’t miss a beat pontificating how they are more than willing to reduce government fraud, waste, and abuse provided it isn’t their fraud, waste and abuse.

Recent dispatches plastered throughout the internet from bureaucrats defending their agencies are nonsensical though not unexpected. Their fear of the chopping block is palpable. They all claim to be prudent and provided their jobs are eliminated a world-ending crisis certainly looms.

Trump defeated every facet of government, academia, corporate America, Hollywood, and the mainstream media. It was first time a republican presidential candidate carried both the electoral college and popular vote in 20 years. In addition, for only the third time since the 1950s, republicans will control Congress and the presidency, but the election was too close for comfort and complacency. Republican margins in Congress, however, are as thin and clear as any single layer of saran wrap around that leftover turkey.

Moreover, democrats don’t fear Trump, they loathe him and his constituents.

This is why republicans must stop playing their version of political prevent defense and go on offense and score. Republican history is littered with embracing defeat from the spoils of victory. Republicans — all of them — need to stand up to democrats and not squander this opportunity.

Republicans possess a two-year window before the 2026 midterm election to pass their top resolutions. 

When Democrats win by a single vote it is a clarion mandate but no matter how large the Republican electoral victory, democrats expect them to compromise. Chuck Schumer desires bipartisanship only when democrats lose. To democrats, bipartisanship means doing what they demand. Schumer needs to be reminded of those infamous words of Barack Obama, “elections have consequences.”

Over the past four years, the Biden administration pursued policies that targeted our fundamental freedoms: religious, free speech, parental rights, the right to life, and equal opportunities for females. The past four years have vilified, censored, impoverished, and marginalized over half of the populace in pursuit of permanent power, wealth, and status. 

Democrats won’t admit that the poorest segments of society are hardest hit by big government policies. Power without accountability is the prime ingredient for bureaucratic bloat and arrogance. Less government means more freedom, which creates prosperity. 

The economic headwinds faced by the incoming Trump administration are strong. Income is down in real terms, and so is production. Debt is out of control at all levels. The inflation problem is far from conquered. Change is a must.

Freedom of speech is the governing principle of American discourse. Citizens must be allowed to speak freely in print, on social media, boardrooms, classrooms, and college campuses without fear of government, media or big tech’s contempt and censorship.

To effectively shrink the federal government, burning through regulatory agencies, massive reductions in all federal offices including congressional and presidential staff is a must, while returning to the states the functions of government like education and policing that are their proper constitutional domain.

Combing the Constitution and good old common sense will create transparency and rein in spending by cutting big government that will not only correct the deficit but return sanity to the Washington Beltway.

The Marxist Goliath still lurks in the shadows. The challenge before us is on a scale we have not seen in generations. 

The once-trusted sources: the mainstream media, academia, the political office, and legacy conventions and institutions have been vanquished. Counting on the system to fix itself is a fool’s errand. It requires citizen involvement, antithetical voices, crucial civic participation, and risk-taking in these challenging times.

The opportunity to not only restore but strengthen the American Republic is upon us. We simply cannot walk away believing all is upright over one election victory. 

The road to rebuilding freedom is the work of everyone – no exceptions. 

We dare not pass it up as the clock continues to tick.
