If you're school won't change then move (I'm looking at everybody that lives in Alabama at this point). 2nd message, Dept. of Ed employees - you're all fired because we're eliminating the department and leaving education to the states where it belongs.

Energy - start building NextGen nuclear plants. Implement policies to support coal and gas plants until the nuke plants can get built. Then shut the coal plants down. Gas plants continue for peaks and emergencies. No more subsidies for wind or solar.

I don’t want State. State is vestigial and does not make foreign policy .... the NSC does. It really and truly is a “deep state” and nobody really knows or cares

The NSC and NatSec advisor are not Senate confirmed, are not subject to Congressional oversight, and should be abolished.

I disagree with the existence of DHS too so I dont want that either

“If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve.”

I thought most of the people on the NCS are already cabinet-level positions, and thus they do get confirmed? There are a few, NatSec among them, who aren't, but at the top level most seem to be ones requiring confirmation. I do take your point that at some level there are a bunch of unelected/unconfirmed folks who are steering policy decisions.

SuperHornet wrote: Mon Aug 16, 2021 9:46 am Too bad we can't recall Biden as there's no provision for it in the Constitution. And the other methods of removing him (impeachment doesn't seem to apply right now and that idiot Nancy wouldn't stand for it; the other way has the same problems) won't happen with the current make-up of the Congress. There's also the drawback that the way the rules are currently written, there's a major drawback with ANY way Biden were to be removed: the next in line is that incompetent Commie Harris.

It's probably best that we look to '24. My primary choice, as always, is Sarah Palin. You all know that. You might think she's crazy, but she's not really Trump crazy. But what about a compromise candidate?

I hereby start a committee to draft SD Hornet for President! He's probably the best of all we know from a Conservative perspective to handle the White House without doing stupid crap like Trump did and without looking like a senile fool like Biden....

I an referring to the staff of the NatSec advisor when I say “NSC”... not the actual cabinet. The natsec staff is where policy is made - they control the entire process. They are huge and none are confirmed

I am fine in principle with a natsec advisor to the Pres and a small staff, but the position has morphed since the days of Truman. The natsec advisor now is essentially the secdef and secstate all rolled into one
