On her most recent podcast, Sara A. Carter discussed the current riots and unrest in America leading to the destruction of businesses, churches, and statues across the nation.

“They hate this beautiful nation and I don’t know why,” Carter said. “They have so much. They have freedom and an opportunity to be anything you want to be in this country.”

She questioned if these rioters would do this to their own homes and their own families. If you want to make a change, she argued, then change laws, go to school, and do it the legal way. “Speak without destroying everything,” she said.

“These are our cities, our taxpayer dollars that go into making our cities beautiful and a place where our children can go to a park,” she said. “Not to be hounded by these radicals.”

She said it’s time to restore law and order to the nation and pointed out instances in the past when the country was unified like after September 11, 2001, when the country was unified and Americans were proud to display the flag.

“Remember when we actually believed in our country,” she asked. “Remember when we cared about one another?”

“What happened to our children,” Carter asked. “They’re out there tearing down statues. For crying out loud, of George Washington.”

Broadcasting from Utah, Carter talked about her trip and the exchanges she’s had with locals in the Beehive State. “They’re so frustrated, upset about what they’re seeing their country turn into.”

Saying thank you to veterans when you see them and discussing the great things this nation has accomplished are two calls to action Carter gave to turn the situation around.

“Stand up and fight back,” she said. “Let people know what this nation means to you. Don’t be ashamed to put an American flag outside your house. Don’t be afraid to walk up to a soldier and say ‘thank you for your service.'”

Biden Administration Proposes Rule to Fortify Federal Bureaucracy Against Republican Presidency

Published

on

Joe Biden

In a strategic move, the Biden administration has unveiled a proposed rule aimed at reinforcing the left-leaning federal bureaucracy, potentially hindering future conservative policy implementations by Republican presidents. This move has raised concerns about the efficacy of democratic elections when a deep-seated bureaucracy remains largely unchanged, regardless of electoral outcomes.

Key points of the situation include:

Presidential Appointees vs. Career Bureaucrats: Of the 2.2 million federal civil workers, only 4,000 are presidential appointees. The vast majority, made up of career bureaucrats, continue in their roles from one administration to the next. This continuity is facilitated by rules that make it exceedingly difficult to discipline or replace them, resulting in a bureaucracy that tends to lean left politically.

Union Political Affiliation: A striking 95% of unionized federal employees who donate to political candidates support Democrats, according to Open Secrets, with only 5% favoring Republicans. This significant political skew among federal workers raises questions about the potential for political bias in the execution of government policies.

Obstructionism and Challenges for GOP Presidents: Some career bureaucrats have been accused of obstructing Republican presidents’ agendas, leading to policy delays and challenges. For example, during the Trump administration, career lawyers in the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division declined to challenge Yale University’s discrimination against Asian American applicants, prompting Trump to seek legal counsel from other divisions. The case was subsequently dropped when Joe Biden took office.

Biden’s Countermeasures: President Biden has taken steps to protect the bureaucracy’s status quo. In October 2020, Trump issued an executive order aiming to reclassify federal workers who make policy as at-will employees, but Biden canceled it upon taking office.

Proposed Rule and Congressional Actions: The rule unveiled by the Biden administration seeks to further impede a president’s ability to reinstate Trump’s order. Additionally, some Democrats in Congress are pushing to eliminate the president’s authority to reclassify jobs entirely. This has been referred to as an attempt to “Trump-proof the federal workforce.”

Republican Candidates’ Pledge: GOP candidates such as President Donald J Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis have pledged to address this issue. According to reports from Fox News, Ramaswamy has gone further, advocating for the elimination of half or more of civil service positions, emphasizing the need for accountability.

Debate on the Merit of the Civil Service: While Democrats and their media allies argue that civil service protects merit over patronage, critics contend that the system has evolved into a form of job security for federal workers with minimal accountability. Federal employees often receive higher salaries and more substantial benefits than their private-sector counterparts.

In summary, the Biden administration’s proposed rule and broader actions to protect the federal bureaucracy have sparked a debate over the role of career bureaucrats in shaping government policy.

Republican candidates are vowing to address these concerns, highlighting the need for accountability and ensuring that government agencies work in alignment with the elected president’s agenda. This ongoing debate raises important questions about the relationship between the bureaucracy and the democratic process in the United States.
