Terminate This Federal Department With

Donald Trump said if he’s elected one of his first orders will be to eliminate the Department of Education. Not a bad start. But he should quickly move on to the other DOE, the Department of Energy. Please pull the plug. The Cabinet-level department was created when Democratic President Jimmy Carter, whose energy policy was ruinous, signed the Department of Energy Organization Act, which he had asked Congress to pass. In “business” since 1977, the Energy Department has not generated, in any way that we can satisfactorily verify, a single watt of energy for consumers.

Most, if not all, federal agencies are failed attempts at central planning. Energy, environment, education - you name it. This is not democracy™ that leftists claim to love.

The only product of a government agency is regulations. The government is so bloated that we have out of control inflation, half the government paid for by inflation, direct taxation accounting for only half. The solution of government in every detail of our life and inflation is to reduce the whole government by half, and some departments by 100%. That also would give the new President the opportunity to rid themselves of saboteurs of their administration.

Jimmy Carter created the Dept. of Energy (and Education). Like every other idea he had, it was a bad one. If it wasn't for the federal government and all of its "Departments", gas would be $1.50 a gallon, kids would be able to read, food would be cheaper, doctors would be able to treat you effectively, and you wouldn't have to fill out a bunch of forms to buy a gun. A number of federal agencies need to be defunded and disbanded. The Dept. of Energy would be a good start - then Education, Health, Agriculture, and of course the FBI and the ATF.

We don't have the federal government envisioned in the Constitution. The federal government was supposed to be small and not all powerful. States were supposed to be the seat of power vis a vis the people. States became vassals of the fed due to the civil war. States couldn't wipe their behind without the fed's approval. The administrative state arose after the 16th and 17th amendments were accepted. Unlimited access to all of our assets AND no more representation of the needs of the state(s). Then in the 30's came the crushing federal bureaucracy. Social Security, IRS, FBI, FDA, TVA, and a host of others all the way into the 70's and 80's. Our founders would vomit at what we have wrought from their brilliant creation. If they knew THIS was the end, they wouldn't have bothered.

When I was in grade school, we had teachers and a principal. When I was in high school, we had teachers, guidance counselors, a principal, a vice principal and a head of pupil personnel. This was before the Department of Education. Now, the number of teachers is pretty much the same but the bureaucracy has grown HUGE and the teachers can't teach anymore.

There are about six departments that could be eliminated, and I doubt anyone would notice except those employed by them. Think of the amount of money that could be saved each fiscal year.

Many if not most Americans tuning into the debate Thursday night were probably shocked at President Joe Biden’s performance. He was confused and tired. He mumbled and bumbled through his answers. He looked at times despondent. He had trouble keeping focused. His closing statement was perhaps the worst in the history of presidential debates. And this was after spending a week at Camp David resting and preparing. Anyone who was surprised by his performance should be asking themselves Why? Why didn’t they know how bad a state Biden is in? How did the White House keep this under wraps for so long?

We have our hand on the Bible swearing we are not making this story up. A gang of 16 Nobel prize-winning economists signed a letter yesterday endorsing Joe Biden for president because: “There is rightly a worry that Donald Trump will reignite inflation with his fiscally irresponsible budgets.” But then our colleague, Scott Bessent, noticed something strange and ironic about the signatories: 13 of these economists signed a highly-publicized open letter three years ago assuring Americans that Biden’s “Build Back Better” spending spree would “ease longer-term inflationary pressures.”

Last week, we published an editorial arguing that government data didn’t support various claims about climate change. And we predicted Google would demonetize it. We were right. (See: Heat Wave Sets Off New Round Of ‘Climate Crisis’ Lies.) Shortly after that article was published, Google’s AdSense informed us that it had “disabled ad serving” on that page because the article contained “unreliable and harmful claims.” (We have one spot on our pages for AdSense ads, mostly to track Google’s efforts to demonetize content. See the list of related editorials below.) So what was “unreliable” or “harmful” about that editorial? Google doesn’t say.

The first 2024 presidential debate is on the way, but already controversy has emerged over the television network that will conduct the presidential face-off and those selected to ask the questions. Some Americans, it turns out, aren’t exactly thrilled about CNN anchors serving as moderators for the debate, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The national online poll, taken from May 29-31, included 1,675 registered voters who were asked the following: “CNN will host the first general election presidential debate on June 27, 2024, moderated by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.

Nothing should shock us anymore, but the latest Congressional Budget Office report did. Released this week, the report shows that the nation is in vastly worse financial shape than anyone thought just a few months ago. And the report makes clear who is to blame. The CBO’s latest “Budget and Economic Outlook” projects that the federal deficit this year will top $1.9 trillion. That’s $408 billion higher – a 27% increase – than what the CBO thought it would be just four months ago. This will make the 2024 deficit the biggest ever recorded in American history – not counting the two years

Joe Biden is very clearly in the running to be the worst U.S. president ever. To understand why that’s true, you need only look at the Democrat’s refusal to protect the integrity of our borders. It’s almost as if he wants America to disappear. As we’ve noted here before, we do not oppose immigration. But, as with everything else, immigration is governed by laws, rules and principles. Unfortunately, when it comes to immigration, Biden simply ignores the law and instead uses presidential command in its place. The result: chaos on our border and, increasingly, on our streets as city after

In the Christopher Nolan movie “The Prestige,” about competing magicians in 1890s London, there’s a scene where a doddering old performer, Chung Ling Soo, does a magic trick that would require incredible strength. Alfred Borden, played in the movie by Christian Bale, says the secret behind the trick is that Chung is always pretending to be a doddering old man, on stage and off. “This is the trick. This is why no one can detect his method,” Borden says as Chung struggles to get into his carriage. “Total devotion to his art. A lot of self-sacrifice.” Why bring this up?

There’s a summer heat wave going on, which gives journalists the opportunity to fill up their stories with climate change boilerplate. It no longer matters whether any of it is true. Just the opposite, in fact. If you point out the truth, you’re accused of being a denier. Sure, the data doesn’t show an increase in the number or intensity of hurricanes or tornadoes or wildfires. Yet every time one or the other strikes, the press robotically connects that event to “climate change.” Every tornado season, we hear about how climate change is making them more frequent and more deadly. Except the narrative doesn’t align with the facts.

When some of our readers tried to share Thursday’s editorial on Facebook, their posts were deleted. This isn’t the first time Big Tech has suppressed our speech and tried to rob us of revenue. In fact, it seems rather routine. The editorial that Facebook doesn’t like was written under the headline “When Will The Ministry Of Truth Shut Down The Lyin’ Biden Ads?. When one reader (see the editorial’s comments section) tried to share it on Facebook, she “was advised they deleted my post for violating community standards.” “It’s pretty rich,” she said, “for Facebook to claim an article pointing out how Biden’s ads are misleading is in itself misleading.”

President Joe Biden’s reelection ad campaign contains a boatload of misinformation and disinformation. Will the censors shut it down? Will the media alert their readers and viewers to the falsehoods? We all know the answers to those questions. The political left is obsessed with shutting down any speech that doesn’t agree with its narrative. And it has successes to show for it. The Twitter files are the preeminent example. There exists a censorship-industrial complex, “a state-sponsored system targeting ‘disinformation,’” says journalist Matt Taibbi, who had access to the Twitter files, that strike “at the essence of the right to free speech.”

Millions just witnessed the end of a presidency live on television. Joe Biden’s performance during the debate was embarrassing. Whenever CNN put him up on the split screen, he had a thousand-yard stare. He didn’t look old. He looked ancient. He looked empty. But at least he wasn’t speaking. Because when it was his time to answer, Biden was incoherent. He said he “beat Medicaid.” (Photo) Asked about abortion, he randomly started talking about migrant crime. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” former President Trump noted at one point, “and I don’t think he knows what he said either.” At one point Biden just froze.

Raphael Warnock (D-GA) were sent into a phalanx of reporters as the Biden campaign’s surrogates with a seemingly impossible mission: spin a debate that even MSNBC thought Biden lost as a win for the incumbent. “To me, that was daylight and darkness … I care about substance,” Newsom said. “This is not about style … Biden not only asserted himself, he reminded people of his accomplishments and his vision for the future.”

On Friday morning after the presidential debate, ABC’s Good Morning America claimed that former President Donald Trump made more mistakes than President Joe Biden. One of the biggest focuses in this debate was if Biden was mentally fit to serve another four years; however, he was not able to meet this hope Thursday night. Co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos admitted that “from the start, Joe Biden struggled to answer questions”, but unsurprisingly added that “Trump launched a series of lies and misleading attacks.”

President Biden and former President Trump faced off on the CNN presidential debate stage Thursday night, but suggested another showdown--this time, in an unlikely setting. The golf course. During the CNN Presidential Debate, CNN moderator Dana Bash presented the age Biden and Trump would be at the end of a potential second term. Biden would be 86. Trump would be 82. Biden defended his age, saying he "spent half my career being criticized about being the youngest person in politics. I was the second youngest person ever elected to the United States Senate, and now I’m the oldest. This guy is three years younger and a lot less competent."

Sure enough, that is exactly what happened. As RedState's Levon Satamian reported, calls are already growing in liberal media circles and beyond for Biden to be replaced as the nominee either at the Democratic National Convention or maybe even sooner than that.
