This is from an editorial a couple of days ago on a website Issues & Insights that spun off from Investors business Daily when they no longer wanted editorial material. It was sent to me by MS (thanks!). Interesting analysis and a short read if you hit the link below. I'm just going to excerpt…

WSJ re: Doge: “If Trump and Musk don’t succeed in showing the bureaucracy who’s boss, it’s likely no one ever will.”
Good article from the Journal. The federal bureaucracy has ballooned from a few agencies to more than 400, many of which are “independent” of the president.

Without me because someone has to be here to maintain our business. We can function out of the office; it’s the four hour time difference that is the problem. I posted about Brigid’s sister here – Sad News: Libby Dent Conyers on February 27th

10 Senate Dems join Republicans to pass government spending bill
Schumer was right – they would have been blamed for shutting down the government. The final vote was 62-38. Formal vote later tonight. Other Democrats are "outraged". Schumer has defended his decision by arguing that a shutdown is a political loser for Democrats that would further embolden the Elon Musk–run Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)…

British Prime Minister starting to sound like Trump
Ten days ago it was “rebuild our military” and now it’s chop the bureaucracy. In this case he’s referring to an overlay on the British National Health Service (NHS). And Sir Keir Starmer is PM and head of the Labor Party.
