That may be the most exciting political news I've heard in years. I have long called for drastic change in the federal government structure.

It's too big, too costly, too slow to recognize and react to citizens' important needs, etc. The government needs to be redone, and actually, both parties need to die,as well, although I realize that part is not on the agenda.

I volunteer AAA to be press secretary.

In all seriousness, Sean Hannity for Secretary of the Press and Tulsi Gabbard for Secretary of Defense.

I know it will never happen, but I'd like to see the IRS abolished and go to a national sales tax.

It seems like it would please both sides (but I know the left would never agree to it). Buy more stuff (the rich) and you pay more taxes. Buy more expensive stuff and you pay more of the tax bill. Buy less stuff and/or less expensive stuff (the poor) and you pay less taxes.

You get your gross pay, every bit of it tax free, and the sales tax on the stuff you buy goes to the government.

I'd also have Mark R. Levin as Attorney General and Glenn Beck as Secretary of Education (since we have to have one).

Vivek notably not on that list. The buzz seems to be he is more interested in staying in Ohio as Senator (OH Gov DeWine will need to appoint a replacement for JD) or Governor (although he is moving his investment advisory firm from Columbus, OH to Dallas so who knows):

Quote:"If Donald Trump is elected, then we will start our process to look at people and talk to people," DeWine told reporters last week. "Some people have already contacted me. I've already met with some people at their request."

Potential names began floating around months ago. Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he would "strongly consider" being senator, though he's also eyeing a bid for governor in 2026.

Sen. JD Vance will be vice president. Here's what's next for his Ohio Senate seat

I cannot comprehend why Republicans continue to fund radio for rich Democrats.

It just makes no sense at all. PBS is not so overtly political and it has a broader clientele.

Let the Democrats pay for their own radio stations.

Eliminate the CIA, no one needed
Eliminate the Education department too

Ryan Walters, the Sec of Education in Oklahoma needs to get the job of dismantling the Department of Ed.

The only way I want to see a Rep or a Sen on that list is if the governor can appoint a replacement with the same letter after their name. Otherwise, they'll lose the majority that they've been wanting. I hope they keep that in mind and doesn't go over their heads.

Education school lunch can go to HHS. The few grant programs needed can go to Labor (workforce development).
VA can go to HHS. Its nothing but an incompetent bureacracy.
HUD's housing programs can be simplified and moved to HHS. Other parts can go to Treasury or the EPA. As much as possible sent back to states.

The dept. of labor is just the crooked labor unions having a seat in govt.
Dept. of labor needs to go as well.

I like that but I think Cruz may have his eye on the bigger prize in 4 years. I like it a lot though.

Make Jeff Clark the AG. There’s enough GOP senators to vote for him that can go around any establishment type objection

Yup. The AG pick needs to be someone who has some common sense, a guy who is conservative, and a guy who can handle media criticism without backing down. Ted Cruz might be the guy for that job. Tulsi could be an interesting option at SecState.

As much as I love for Ted Cruz to be the AG, he's fine where he is right now. He just retained his Senate seat after the most expensive race for any seat in U.S. Senate history. He might be up for a SCOTUS nom once Clarence Thomas retires, and you know what? I'd be perfectly fine with that.

He is never going to do that. It's always the first consideration. They even talk about it openly.
