Abolish all federal agencies, period.

Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but it looks to me like federal bureaucrats and federal courts.

Want to garden ? - get a permit !
Want to water your garden ?- get a permit !
Want to purchase seeds ? - get a permit !
Want to sell extra produce from the garden/farm ? - get a permit !
And of course they will be fees which will pay the salaries of the bureaucrats who impose and collect these fees !

Gee, sounds a lot like our co-op development. Housing Naziism at its finest. I'm surprised they let people with different colors of hair in there. They do love their conformity.

An organization that has built enough nuclear weapons to end all life on earth, is worried about a farmer plowing a field in California ?

Trump should be great at beating back Nanny State encroachments, if anyone can.

Unfortunately, too often an absolutely toxic combo of regulatory agencies and the courts can combine to extend the tentacles of vicious dimwitted bureaucrats.

This is ALL federal courts. So it’s your fault for not stopping the federal government.

“Kaliphorniastan strikes again.”

This has nothing to do with the State of California! This is a FEDERAL Action! Nice try to conflate the facts though. I know you hate us so much. BTW, why don’t you send the Robinsons a short note berating California! They’re in Fresno, and the last time I looked, Fresno was in California.

Nutshell: Duarte hired someone to level uneven, compacted graze-land, with no recent history of farming activity, into flat farm land for wheat, including backfilling creeks, swales and vernal ponds that trapped seasonal runoff. Big no-no. (see pg35, 6. Summary at link) (there are also maps pg 5,9,10 within the briefing)

In 1941 Roscoe Filburn, an Ohio farmer, was fined for growing too much grain. He didn't sell the grain, he used it to feed his own livestock.

Filburn claimed that since the wheat in question never left his farm and was not involved in interstate commerce, the federal government could not fine him. The supreme court ruled otherwise and the penalty stood.

This has been going on for a long time. It will continue to go on until something happens to change it.

"The bureaucracy cannot be trusted to use its powers with restraint. When the power of the regulatory state grows, the liberty of the American people diminishes. Reining in the power of the regulatory state should be a priority of all American citizens."

The bureaucracy only does what the Bureaucrat-in-Chief allows it to do. The easiest and quickest way to reign in the bureaucracy is to dethrone its evil leaders. Off with their.......mandates.

“Funny thing here... after all society has gone thru, from Magna Carta to Declaration, here we are... reverting back to the Feudal System.”

Aided and abetted by the fact that a majority of the population, both legal and illegal residents of the USA, have no idea whatsoever as to what you just posted since they know nothing of the meaning of Magna Carta (spelled Magna Charta when I was in school) or the Feudal System (which we studied in great detail in the public school system in the fifties). Many would have no clue that your reference to “ declaration” refers to the Declaration of Independence which was the original founding document of the United States of America. People are not likely to assert themselves in defense of something of which they are ignorant.

Actually I am technically in disagreement with your post. I see us as headed toward something far worse than the feudal system.

Assuming Trump wins it will be very easy and quick to see whether he meant any of what he has said. If he does not move very quickly to eliminate entire departments he has been blowing smoke. There is a long list which could be eliminated with only beneficial results. I would be hard put to say which should go first. As for unemployment increasing just give the existing employees an opportunity to do real work such as cleaning toilets to earn their pay, those who refuse can be considered as not seeking work and therefore not to be counted as unemployed and not to receive unemployment compensation or severance pay. As for those who do accept the menial jobs, paying their inflated salaries for menial work would at least eliminate the cost of all the damage they are currently doing which vastly exceeds their paychecks. Those who accept the menial tasks might learn some humility which could actually result in their becoming worthwhile people rather than drones.

He better not be blowing smoke. We’ve had enough of that for far too many years.

When I refer to the feudal system, I'm meaning a great deal worse than Monty Python's depiction (ie, "Help! Help! I'm being Depressed!! I'm being Depressed!"). So, I probably agree with you here.

As Churchill put it, we “...will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age, made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science...”
