The federal department of education is a 100% pure political patronage den that should be done away with immediately!
Now it has literally become no more than one half of the Uniparty.There is no place out there for values voters...... either political or ethical.
I want a technocrat that will reduce the scope of the DoE to it's original mandate... and make sure that the federal funds to land-grant universities are paid out. That's about it.
That and the DoE... will GOP have the balls to finally get rid of them?
The New Americana is an obscure website without much traffic compared to say Townhall and so on. The author can have sour grapes, that website has been anti-Trump from the start. I'm glad Trump won and Clinton lost.
For me, the Constitutional rights of born citizens trump the "rights" of non-viable fetuses. That doesn't mean I don't think abortion is wrong. I think it is. But a woman's right to self-determination must be paramount, as a legal matter. That leaves plenty of room for folks of faith to persuade and support women who do the right thing. But the state's role must be to guarantee the Constitutional rights of (born) citizens.
Funny thing about DeVos is the way her husband was attacked as a moderate RINO by FR conservatives when he ran for governor of Michigan. Its safe to say tat she would have been in the same boat if she had run for the office.They are very politically connected and are insiders by way of those connections. For instance, her brother is Erik Prince who founded Blackwater. She's probably more connected than her husband.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_DeVos
But if the issue is "Trumpism", then they haven't actually done anything yet. If they start writing/passing a whole bunch of non-conservative legislation, then sure. But until then, it seems like a lot of premature clutching at pearls. Supporting Trump after the election can be just as indicative of building relationships to restrain Trump's non-conservative impulses as it is of wholesale support of this agenda.Maybe we should wait until the vessel takes some actual hits below the waterline before yelling "abandon ship!"
@Cripplecreek If Erik Prince is her brother,she is as plugged into the system as a Mass Kennedy. Maybe even more,since they all seem to be out of office now.Not positive that is a bad thing by definition,but it does make me nervous.
Me too,but I would be glad if Clinton lost if she had been running against a candidate named Satan.
Yeah, but too bad Miroslav wasn't eligible.
Betsy DeVos has been a national RNC official which is just as much of an insider as Reince Priebus. Short of not having held high profile seats like governor or congressman, the DeVos family is probably more connected than the Romney family.
