Just before US President Donald Trump returned to his rightful place on January 20, the outgoing Joe Biden administration decided to add just a couple more entries to the catalog of egregious and/or maliciously stupid actions it has filled out over the past four years. One of these, in particular, practically gift-wrapped Trump the ability to remake the country in a way that hasn’t been seriously considered for generations.

I am increasingly sure that no one (very few people) has ever really paid attention to US President-Elect Donald Trump in a way that matters. This is nowhere more apparent to me than in the current discourse regarding Trump’s interest in acquiring the territory of Greenland and re-acquiring the previously ceded territory around the Panama Canal. Why?

That which may be done with the stroke of a pen may be undone with the stroke of a pen. This simple maxim is, in its two separate clauses, the nursery and the gallows of every piece of progressive judicial activism that has ever been forced upon an unwitting populace. Social change that is founded solely upon the whims of judges may be undone by the whims of contrary judges and there is no legitimate reason to gainsay the reaction.

I am a very happy camper. Not only did my tribe win the US presidential election on November 5, it did so in a stunning fashion. Since then, The Don has wasted absolutely no time in signaling appointment after appointment that make all of the people I disagree with most incandescently furious.

Let’s do a thought experiment. Imagine you have a group of five hundred men, and they want to decide how to run their society. They vote on whether to enact Proposition A or Proposition B to solve Problem X. Suppose 249 men voted for B and 251 voted for A. Obviously, A won the vote. Let’s say X is an issue slightly more complicated than what to do for dinner. Tempers are high, because tempers are always high when people deliberate how society should be organized.

On June 24, the US Supreme Court shocked legal observers with Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. The decision overturned the 40-year-old doctrine of Chevron deference. Stemming from the 1984 Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. National Resources Defense Council, Inc., the Chevron deference doctrine required US courts defer to the administration’s interpretation of ambiguous laws.

Hunter Biden, the not-so-prodigal son of US President Joe Biden, is currently facing criminal charges for illegal handgun possession in Delaware. Prosecutors allege that he failed to disclose his drug addictions when applying for a license.This is just the latest episode for the scandal-prone scion of the Biden family. As always, pundits and clickbait writers love extreme accusations. Commentators on my side of the aisle have called Hunter everything from a child molester to a traitor.

To paraphrase one of the most unfairly maligned presidents of the 20th century, “The administrative state is the enemy, the administrative state is the enemy, the administrative state is the enemy. Write that on the blackboard 100 times and never forget it.” What is the administrative state, you ask? It is what is colloquially called the “deep state.” Everything you learned in high school civics class about how the US government operates is wrong.

Allow me to be blunt: I think most of the criminal charges against Donald Trump are bogus. They are the precise product of political gamesmanship by leftist, activist district attorneys (DAs) meant to pad their bona fides with their co-belligerents and garner awards at the next bar association meeting. Let’s be honest. They don’t do anything to sway voters because of how transparent the effort to do so is. Even less likely is Trump seeing the inside a prison cell. The cases are far too weak for that.
