The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

This is how it is done.

Phyllis Fong is a senior government official who publicly announced her opposition to her boss and his policies. That is her right as an American citizen.

And President Donald Trump promptly bounced her ass out of her office. That is his right and privilege as the president of The United States, and the head of the administration! No bureaucratic nonsense with panels of inquiry and carefully crafted (by the deep state) delays. Nope... she was escorted out of the building by security. And that is as it should be. She is welcome to be antagonistic to the administration's goals, but she can't do it as an employee of the administration. That should be axiomatic, and it certainly holds true in American business.

USDA Inspector General Tried to Defy Trump's Firing Order, Got Hauled Out of the Building by Security

Phyllis Fong, who served as Inspector General of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) since 2002, told colleagues last week she planned to resist President Trump's order firing multiple IGs across different federal agencies.

The act of defiance did not end well. Security greeted her when she showed up to work on Monday and promptly removed her from her office.

Just look at the six-year long mess they made of Boar's Head! The USDA had internal reports of the seemingly total breakdown of that company's food safety systems, yet sat on their ample, well-fed asses until people started dying from Lysteria infections and they couldn't keep eating donuts and doing nothing.

Fong's job was to make sure that the USDA was doing what they are supposed to do! She clearly didn't do that well, if the USDA was incapable of upholding basic food safety regulations at one of the iconic brands in the American food industry.

And it won't stop on the sidewalk outside of USDA headquarters. It is vital that congress support the president in his efforts to root out the rot within the administration's many departments, and anything less than a united front will be a powerful signal who to primary in 2026!

But it will also move into the courts, and hopefully it will go quickly to the Supreme Court, which must decide whether the hundreds of thousands of fifth column moles of the deep state can be dismissed for not supporting the policies of this, or any administration.

America cannot be held hostage by unelected bureaucrats whose political beliefs are superior to the will of the American people, as voiced on November 5th, and as implemented by the president and his officers.

It is my most fervent hope that President Donald Trump and his cabinet officers pursue this policy with vigor, because this is what he promised, and the American people seem to be tired of being lied to by their politicians!
