The Logic Used By Democrats: I know it sounds insane but this is what they do.


 

Veterans, Veterans, Veterans: Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye!

Protect Safe Care for Veterans

The Department of Veterans Affairs has proposed a new National Standards of Practice that eliminate anesthesiologists from the proven team-based model of anesthesia care. VA has proposed moving to a nurse-only model of anesthesia care that lowers the standard of care for Veterans compared to care civilians receive.

It’s wrong for VA to put Veterans’ lives at risk by proposing to replace highly trained physician anesthesiologists with nurses in surgery. Surgery is inherently dangerous, and VA’s proposal threatens the lives of Veterans by eliminating physician anesthesiologists from the surgical team, replacing them with nurse anesthetists and denying Veterans’ access to the highest quality anesthesia care. 

Submit a comment to the Federal Register on the importance of maintaining safe, high-quality physician-led anesthesia care for our nation’s Veterans.

INSIDE THE DEEP STATE

ONE WAY GOVERNMENT

By Auron MacIntyre 

THE DEEP STATE AND THE RATCHET: HOW POWER INSIDE THE US GOVERNMENT REALLY WORKS
As the Biden administration attempted to create its own Ministry of Truth with the Disinformation Governance Board this month, it was common to hear conservatives and Republicans saying things like “just wait until President Trump or President DeSantis is the one appointing the head of that agency, then you’ll be sorry.” The underlying assumption is that, once the administration changes, the natural pendulum swing of democracy will act to punish the Left for overreaching and consolidating government power while in office. But that’s a common and very serious error in understanding how power really works inside the American government.
We are taught that the natural ebb and flow of electoral politics acts as a safeguard against tyranny; that a cost will be paid by the Left if they accrue too much power to themselves while in charge because, eventually, they will have to hand the apparatus they constructed back over to their enemies. Once the machinery of state is in the hands of their opponents, conservatives believe, the Left will finally be punished and realize their mistake, which will temper their desire to gain power the next time. The fear of a weapon in the hands of the enemy is supposed to govern the desire to wield it yourself. Self-preservation limits the aspirations of the country’s ruling class.
This check and balance that the mechanism of democracy is meant to provide may have functioned at some point in the country’s past, but that’s not how the United States government actually operates today. The majority of our government’s day-to-day decisions are not made by the legislature or even the President. The elected officeholder is not even the one regularly exercising discretion. Today, those decisions are handled by the technocracy, which is safely tucked away in our government agencies, i.e. the permanent bureaucracy that has come to be known as the deep state.
Advanced liberal democracies like to maintain the myth of ‘objective public policy’. This fallacious belief rests on the assumption that, by utilizing the bureaucratic expertise of credentialed experts, we can arrive at an objective and value-neutral solution for government policy that is guarded against the ugly bias of purely political actors. The public has been taught to love the idea of getting the politics out of things and letting scientifically-minded people make data-driven decisions. But this is a sleight of hand. Whenever someone proposes to have decisions become ‘less political’, i.e. to be made by the experts, what they are actually doing is handing more power over to the bureaucrats in the deep state, which are their own political class holding similar views.
To be credentialed as an ‘expert’ today, and thus qualify to work within the bureaucracy, you must attend university. The more prestigious, and most likely progressive, the university you obtain your degree from, the higher you are likely to climb in the deep state. What this means is that every boss and coworker who a bureaucrat needs to interact with and impress to climb the ladder was required in his or her formative years to absorb the morality of increasingly radical college professors. In other words, it is in the nature of the deep state to select those who constantly signal the virtues of the woke institution, which will one day inevitably go on to inform all of their day-to-day policy decisions.
Whenever the Left consolidates power and creates a new agency, it is immediately staffed with diehard progressive bureaucrats. In many cases, it is literally required by law that experts be placed in key positions of authority, who are all but guaranteed to be leftwing zealots (See highlighted text in post below). And the vast majority of this staff does not rotate out or get laid off when a Republican administration or legislature comes to power. Protected by their status as credentialed experts, the ideological foot soldiers of the bureaucracy stay firmly entrenched in the deep state. That’s why things always seem to sprint left when progressives are in charge and at best grind to a halt when the GOP has its turn at the wheel.
We are still told that our government operates by the formal dictates outlined in the Constitution — checks and balances carefully designed to limit the power any one side can wield while in office. But that is no longer the case. In our desire to remove politics from public policy decisions we have replaced our constitutional republic with governance by technocracy, i.e. governance by the deep state. And the deep state is a ratchet: it only moves in one direction because that is what it is designed to do. The deep state ensures that our government, if it moves at all, always moves to the left, especially when it is gaining power. This is why the Right has a very difficult time establishing lasting change in the permanent machinery of Washington. By controlling the institutions that credential bureaucrats, the Left controls the ideology that will guide the decisions of the technocracy, no matter who ‘officially’ controls it.
We have been told that the education and training which credentials someone to the level of ‘expert’ grants the recipient a natural dedication to their craft that protects them from personal bias. Experts place the integrity of their work over personal partisan concerns, that’s what is supposed to make them so valuable. But it is increasingly obvious that this is not the case. The disasters of the Biden administration of the past two years have made more and more clear to the average person how all these “experts” do not actually hold any kind of sacred gift for objectivity. Not only does being educated in, and dedicated to, a particular field not free you from political bias, but it instead guarantees a particular form of bias.
The official response to Covid by many different Western governments provides a perfect example. Prior to the pandemic, there was no issue experts were more trusted to handle than public health. If a strange new disease is sweeping the globe, you want the world’s best doctors leading the charge. And so most people happily placed their faith in highly-credentialed bureaucrats to manage the Covid response. But it wasn’t long before people started noticing how the public health establishment’s decision seemed to have very little connection to the actual science. The WHO praised China’s management of the disease despite its obvious and repeated lies about the origin and spread of the pathogen; experts in America initially claimed that masks had little to no impact but then spent months advocating for mandatory masking; social distancing was said to be a precaution and people were forced to stay indoors – until the BLM riots in the summer of 2020 when medical experts suddenly claimed mass gatherings had no impact on the spread of the virus, and so on.
The idea that the Left will pay a cost for centralizing more government power once Republicans return to the driver’s seat, is a myth. The battle the Right is fighting both culturally and politically is an asymmetrical one. Until we understand that, we are destined to keep standing bewildered as the losses for our side continue to pile up. Yes, Republicans have become a lot more optimistic lately about their prospects in upcoming elections. Approval numbers for Joe Biden have cratered, and so many on the Right expect a significant electoral backlash due to the horrific job done by Democrat Party since 2020. But any future leader on the Right who is serious about fixing our problems must start by aiming to dismantle the administrative state, clear out the entrenched bureaucracy, and return power back to an executive who can actually govern the country. Anyone who isn’t planning to do that is only wasting our time.

Hillary, Woodrow, and Walter... 

By Norman E. Hooben

 
Regarding the current political crisis affecting our country there’s a number of things going on that no one is talking about and if dare I say ‘conspiracy’ the so called progressives will immediately be in denial but that’s the way it is, Tuesday, December 18th, 2018.The recent U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh brought out the hate in the Democrat Senate like no time in our history; it was a most disrespectful time for those senators that took part in the most rabid character assassination attack in recent memory. This hate did not come suddenly but has been simmering for many years; it came to a boiling point when Hillary Clinton lost her bid for the White House which was also a huge loss by the Progressive’s war against America. Let’s say the war is still on for the Democrats look at it as just one battle and they will have a reunited front when they take command of the House this coming January. Many years ago when President Woodrow Wilson said, “We must control the courts and they shall control the future society; In effect, they must rewrite the Constitution.” that’s when the current war began. Here we have a President of the United States actively promoting the dissolution of a sovereign nation by destroying the one document that gave us the most people friendly freedoms the world has ever known; conspiracy, you bet! Some of you may recall Dr. D.L. Cuddy’s Chronological History of the New World Order where he mentions a 1964 publication, Visions of Order (authored by Richard Weaver) and extracts the following: “Progressive educators as a 'revolutionary cabal' engaged in a systematic attempt to undermine society's traditions and beliefs.” Fast forward to April 23, 2015 at the Women in the World Summit where presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton says, “Deep seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be changed.” Is that an attempt to undermine society's traditions and beliefs? You bet! By the way, the sad part of that quote was that the audience applauded. Then we have the Mueller probes aka, the witch hunt, where all the Trump haters are using a well-known Alinsky tactic to discredit our current president by placing all (that’s 100%) of the previous administration wrongdoing onto the guy who won the White House fair and square…even with Obama’s attempts to co-conspire with Vladimir Putin using the Clintons (Bill and Hillary) and other well-known Communists imbedded in the system…here John Brennan comes to mind. How did we get so many anti-Americans into high positions in our government? For starters you can blame President William Jefferson Clinton for hiring those with the same mindset to be placed into various positions including the Senior Executive Service (by the way Obama continued this practice) and they became the Bob Mueller, Peter Strzok, and James Comey (s) of the cabal. You don’t have to take my word for it you can read it in the New York Times December 27, 1992, “Other Clinton nominees seemed to be not advocates of the agencies they are taking over but rather infiltrators, who Mr. Clinton hopes will infect the departments with new ideas” Now I’ve only brought to light a few attempts by the Left to indoctrinate the general population but one of the most egregious was the eighteen year run by a guy who gave us the nightly news on CBS, Walter Cronkite, the so-called “most trusted man in America”. Most Americans accepted the man who delivered the news in what I refer to as a ‘comfort voice’ and he delivered what his superiors desired. “Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have.” said his boss, CBS News president Richard Salant. Then when old Walter retires from CBS and admits that he was under their control all the time but now that he’s no longer there can speak his own mind about Americans and how we need to give up our sovereignty …promoting such radicals George Soros and Richard Hudson and his unforgiving support to the United Nations the most corrupt organization ever devised by man. So for years he told us what CBS wanted us to know and in retirement while accepting an award from the World Federalist Organization tells us with that same comfort voice I mentioned earlier that he’s glad to sit here at the right hand of Satan; the same God-less attitude of Hillary Clinton. And that’s the way it is, Tuesday, December 18th, 2018. Just a small glimpse of the overall conspiracy…and it’s not a theory, it’s the truth! ~ Norman E. Hooben
