OH, WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN! This is an outstanding article that I highly recommend. Regardless of what you think of Donald Trump the man or his policies, this was a great good now lost: The Astonishing Implications of Schedule F
Two weeks before the 2020 general election, on October 21, 2020, Donald Trump issued an executive order (E.O. 13957) on “Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service.”
It sounds boring. Actually, it would have fundamentally changed, in the best possible way, the entire functioning of the administrative bureaucracy that rules this country in a way that bypasses both the legislative and judicial process, and has ruined the checks and balances inherent in the US Constitution.
The administrative state for the better part of a century, and really dating back to the Pendleton Act of 1883, has designed policy, made policy, structured policy, implemented policy, and interpreted policy while operating outside the control of Congress, the president, and the judiciary.
The gradual rise of this 4th branch of government – which is very much the most powerful branch – has reduced the American political process to mere theater as compared with the real activity of government, which rests with the permanent bureaucracy.

JOHN CORNYN MUST GO: The Bad and the Ugly of the Cornyn-Murphy ‘Bipartisan Safer Communities Act’
The “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act” is a wholesale sellout by Sente RINOs and the a give-away to anti-gun liberals. The result is several more gun control laws while spending huge amounts of money on government programs and grants that will have no impact on violent crime or school shootings.
The Cornyn-Murphy legislation expands the prohibitions and scope of current criminal statutes, creates several new crimes, complicates the process for firearm transfers to young adults (that will ultimately expand to all transfers), bribes states to create their own unconstitutional gun-confiscation programs, gives millions of dollars to the FBI to further restrict firearms, and throws billions of dollars into grants and other programs that have already failed and will inevitably be used to fund further anti-gun “research” and legislation.
