And whoever it is that Trump finally puts in charge of the Department of Justice as Attorney General is likely to have the same agenda as Gaetz in purging liberal hardliners from its staff of lawyers who have not only taken part in the lawfare against Trump but also enabled the woke virus to spread throughout the government.

That's a battle that Americans who understand the grave damage that Leftist ideology is doing to the country know must be fought.

And while some on the left are mocking Trump's idea of Department of Government Efficiency led by billionaire Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, their effort to make Trump's notion of a vastly trimmed-down D.C. bureaucracy a reality is no joke and a much-needed project to reduce the federal leviathan.

This is not a "revenge" tour. It's a long overdue campaign to reform an out-of-control federal bureaucracy.

In recent decades, as government power has grown exponentially, the administrative state has assumed the role of a fourth branch of government. Protected by both civil service regulations and the dysfunctional nature of Congress, it makes most of the rules and regulations that govern the country. Only the Supreme Court, with its overruling of the "Chevron" precedent, which gave government agencies the ability to make new law, has had any success in restraining it.

The people that every administration rely on to carry out their policies—the vast federal bureaucracy—are every bit as biased toward Democrats as the press. The "expert" class and their civil servant allies are dedicated to ensuring that liberal orthodoxies on a vast range of issues are not only enforced but survive the efforts of Republicans to rein in or reverse them.
