Requiem for a Lightweight
American Thinker ^ | January 22, 2017 | Clarence Feldman

Posted on 01/22/2017 5:01:01 AM PST by Kaslin

As rioters trashed streets, smashed and burned property and attacked police just blocks from the securely cordoned off National Mall, the Inauguration of President Donald J. Trump took place. He gave a bold speech, reiterating his campaign promises. He would secure our borders, promote and protect U.S. interests, and revive an economy made moribund by the regulatory overreaching and policies of Obama and his Administration.

How refreshing it was to hear a crisp, muscular defense of our native land by a man who used “we,” not the incessant “I” and “me” of his predecessor. No more loopy faculty lounge locutions whose nice-sounding phrases papered over unconstitutional personal power grabs.

In the words of Ben Stein he’s a “shtarker,” a Yiddish word meaning a sturdy, strong man:

The NYT does not call the tune any longer. Voters get their news from a jillion sources on the Internet. The Times is a voice and a big voice. But there are a billion other voices now. And about half of the nation just does not believe Big Media any longer. They don’t buy the vicious lie that white people are all racists. They know that the Black Caucus and Black Lives Matter are real racists. They know Joe Sixpack isn’t and anyway, they don’t care.

They’re sick of being pushed around. They elected a tough guy who won’t be pushed around. He’s a shtarker and he cannot be broken in spirit by the thugs and bullies of the media.

The left will beat and beat and huff and puff. But it’s a different world now. Again… The people who elected Trump don’t remotely believe he’s a racist and they’re sick of hearing it anyway.

Feldman nailed it.

A miracle God has given the USA a chance to undo generations of degradation.

We ABSOLUTELY MUST keep this movement alive! This CLIMATE CHANGE.

Administrative law is an untamed monster, regulations get no judicial review, these agencies are regarded as part of the executive branch and can publish whatever they want as regulations, virtually no stopping them, these agencies need to be brought to heel and their budgets slashed.

Opinions are fine, just that they be labeled such, and not “news”.

The rate at which the MSM have been going broke may accelerate to hyperswarp.

If you have already had your morning coffee, and are sharp about the law and government, get a second cup of coffee and read the linked article A Revolution In Administrative Law, by the Hoover Institution.

http://www.hoover.org/research/revolution-administrative-law

Let me put it this way, “revolution” is an understatement.

This will change the way the entire federal bureaucracy operates, as it has since FDR’s New Deal. And it is happening right now. Republican Representative Bob Goodlatte of Virginia brought up the bill, and the House has already voted in favor of it 237-187.

Archive this article and follow this story. It is some of the most important legislation you will ever see.

In real terms, it is the “enabling act” for the agenda of President Trump and his entire cabinet.
