Politico, the left-wing house organ that recently was outed by former reporters for killing any Hunter Biden laptop stories, is running with a headline about “terrified” government bureaucrats.
Why are they terrified? Because they are part of the leftist rot being cut out of government operations by Donald Trump and his administration. They are terrified their “skills” of creating and enforcing DEI aren’t in demand in the private sector and so there is no soft, cushy landing spot for them.
They are terrified their role as unelected shapers of the nation is being stripped from them.
They are terrified at being exposed for what they are, do-nothing, throw-sand-in-the-gears-of-progress drones who sit in offices – more lately at home – collecting attractive pay and benefits largely for getting in the way.
Others are terrified, too. Welcome to the other side, that of conservatives who have been oppressed and persecuted for the past four years or so simply because of their political beliefs.
Cue the Bob Dylan: How does it feel? How does it feel? To be without a home? Like a complete unknown? Like a rolling stone?
Payback is a female dog, guys and gals on the left.
Of late, we hear copious amounts of whining that federal taxpayers no longer will be on the hook to spend countless millions each week to protect ex-government hacks.
Dr. Tony Fauci, the elfin creature who has bragged about growing up “Brooklyn tough,” no longer will have limos and armed guards at his service at taypayer expense. Or, as Trump suggested, he made enough money during “public service” that he can afford to hire private protection.
It is the same with others, such as neocons John Bolton and Mike Pompeo
If they opt not to hire help, or buy guns to protect themselves, it’s on them.
Leftists scream about this, neatly forgetting how one Clueless Joe Biden had Trump protected largely by a Secret Service B team of DEI hires until not one, but two, assasssination attempts prompted the public to ask for an explanation.
And then there was Clueless Joe removing Secret Service protection for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. when he slipped out of the presidential race and, gasp, endorsed Trump.
RFK Jr., with a history of assassinations in his family and threats to do the same to him, a prominent person who even then was widely expected to join the Trump administration, was cut loose by Biden in terms of protection and, of course, it had nothing to do with politics.
Leftists have this gaping blindspot on such matters.
Consider pardons. When issued by Biden, to about every miscreant politically or economically aligned with Joe, they are fine.
When given by Trump to some, including Jan. 6 defendants arrested on bogus charges and held without due justice, they are an abomination.
The left still is trotting out lies about severely assaulted and/or killed police at the hands of Jan. 6 types.
To this I respond, name some names, please. Show evidence. And please, explain how Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed protester, was shot dead and there was no punishment for the person who killed her.
Trump is stripping security clearances from the likes of John Brennan and his 50 fellow co-signers of the 2020 letter branding Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation. This just in, according to no less a source than Hunter, it was, indeed, his laptop.
Brennan is a private citizen, a huckster selling himself to cable news as an intelligence expert. The leftist sites still will seek him out, despite this classic failure, because he is on their side. But they aren’t getting a guy with insider access any longer.
Seems fair to me.
Also fair is pardoning January 6 prisoners, cutting off the security gravy train, and pruning the burecaucracy of people more loyal to their political beliefs than to the nation.
It’s called progress, people. Get used to it, there is more to come.
