Donald Trump’s stunning victory in the presidential election has already created the usual swarm of “experts” who know exactly what the new president must do. The chattering class, editorialists, columnists, and bloggers everywhere are rushing to get their ideas heard. From appointment suggestions to major policy initiatives, all seem to know exactly what Mr. Trump should do. So, here is my two cents!

...

With Trump appointing Ebell to watch over the EPA, I wonder what the liberal so-called climate change professors will be saying about the environment when their government funds are cut off???

Well, that’s a start in the right direction. I’d say the next step would be the IRS after the EPA. There’s a lot of crap in that swamp.

They may have to find something REAL to worry about instead of human-caused climate change.

God bless this man Trump.
He far underspent Clinton.

May he make wise decisions and economically sound decisions for America’s greatness.

I pray Donald will only consult with the very best.
Unlike those before him who listened because they owed someone something.

Kill it. Dismember it. Fire everyone involved with it. And then move to the next agency that is worthless. There are only 8.452 * 10**328 of them.

A plan aimed at harvesting and thinning of national forests under sound forestry principles could be one method of reviving the economies in rural areas.

That and an EO to reopen ALL closed forest roads would have the added benefit of demoralizing the radical environmental left.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Ending the lawfare as practiced by the enviromental groups constantly sueing over every decision by various agencies should be the first step.

Because every other step will be tied up in court by them if you don’t.

For example:

Shouldn’t the title be “Drain the Wetlands” instead of Drain the Swamp? Has everybody forgotten their PC indoctrination so quickly? Shameful, just shameful.
