While Susanna (my wife, soulmate, main and only squeeze, nutritionist AND the one who tolerates me the best) and I were out browsing through various retail stores this past weekend, we ran into Lucy. Neither of us had seen her since the beginning of the Plandemic and to tell the truth, she was a ghost of the lovely woman she was prior to 2020.
Susanna and her quickly decided to go for coffee and I was dragged along because Susanna had driven her car. Catching up was nice, but my mind was elsewhere until Lucy began to tell her tale.
She has cancer. I can’t remember what kind but I do recall her saying it was stage four. My mind wandered into the past, thinking of the various events and trips we had taken with Lucy and her husband until I heard the treatment she had decided on.
As I recall, she stated, “I’ve decided, since cancer is a wasting disease (as in wasting away), to subdue the cancer by determining how best to cope with it to limit its effects.”
“What? No drugs? No chemo? No surgery?”
“No, I did an about-face over the past couple of weeks. You see, I understand the Department of Government Efficiency in the new Trump Administration is working to get rid of the waste in the various agencies and make them as efficient as possible. I figured if that’s how the American government, with an annual budget of $7 trillion handles the stage four cancer the Constitution and the Republic are suffering from, who am I to judge?”
And that, my friends, is what I am sensing.
Rather than make America Constitutional Again, or to Make America a Republic Again, thereby making the task of Making America Great Again happen by osmosis, is the Trump Administration going to keep the agencies and alphabet-soup departments and make them efficient?
This is similar to what happened to HEW in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The dream was to kill off HEW. The reality is HEW became three different bureaucratic agencies within the Federal government.
If the story of Lucy was true, Lucy would have done everything in her power to kill the cancer before it killed her. Now there’s different opinions on how to do that, but she’d aggressively attack this bastard called cancer with everything she could (if she wanted to keep on living).
Similarly, the Trump Administration needs to kill the cancer that has metastasized throughout most of Washington and return the Federal government to its Constitutionally limited size.
By doing so, a new birth of freedom—re-establishing a government of the people, by the people, for the people
