The [Deep State} Party Is Over

Excerpt:
"The Trump administration, pushed by the Department of Government Efficiency and deployed by the Office of Personnel Management, has sent another email to all federal employees with a normal request to present five tasks accomplished in the last week.

It’s an easy task. It takes 5 minutes. In the service industry, this is entirely normal, even routine. Taking inventory of the workforce is standard for any new management in the private sector.

Oddly, absolute mania broke out among the pundit class. Government unions are preparing lawsuits. The panic and frenzy is palpable. As it turns out, no new president has ever done anything like this before, no Democrat who believes in good government and no Republican who supposedly distrusts bureaucracy.

Something dramatic has hit Washington. It’s about more than Trump.

The party now in control of the US executive branch is a third party built out of the corpses of two existing parties. It goes by the name Republican but this is nearly a historical accident. The GOP was a vessel that was least protected against invasion and occupation. It has now been nearly taken over by outsiders who had little or no influence within the party a decade ago.

Nearly all the top people now in power – including Trump of course but also Musk, Gabbard, Kennedy, Lutnick, and so many more, to say nothing of the voters themselves – are refugees from the Democratic Party. Coalitions have dramatically changed. Voting blocs have migrated. And policy debates and priorities are nothing like they have been in any period since the end of the Great War.

The occupiers left a Democratic Party that was and is busy consuming itself with Rousseauian frenzies on issues about which most people do not care or are otherwise completely opposed. The legacy establishment of the Republican Party, however, never welcomed them in. They were hated and resisted at every step. "

    Thanks great article!

    I'm dissatisfied with the trope "waste, fraud and abuse." THEFT is the word I want to hear Trump and Musk speak. Musk came close in his email experiment explanation. He implied money is being stolen by paying salaries to bank accounts for jobs that exist in title only...

    Trump finally used the word "Kickbacks" on TV!!! Thank God!!! I do believe that's the first time I heard a President say Kickbacks.

    How can Trump and Musk survive not being shot, poisoned, crashed, bombed? They are pissing on the old big corrupt money party. Lots of pissed off people.

    Maybe we might not have to NIFO just yet? Maybe the corrupt money party can be pooped out?

    I was in the Air Force for 20 years, and always had an OPR (Officer Performance Report) due once a year. Throughout the year, i would write down my accomplishments and save them up, for my OPR. Having to come up with 5 things you did last week seems like a really low bar, even for government workers!
