It’s beyond ironic that the political party that has the word ‘democracy’ implied in its name has always pursued the most undemocratic of tactics to gain and retain office. Only truly deranged and diabolical minds could create the machinations surrounding the tragic saga of the Joe Biden presidency.  I’m reasonably certain that historians will refer to his tenure as the “Joe Izuzu” administration for the outright knee slappers they’ve foisted on the public as being facts.

We’re not casting aspersions on Joe’s qualifications since he has spent all of his adult life in political office and debated with Abe Lincoln as well as fought tough gang members such as Corn Pop.  Most famously, he was against blacks before he was for them, including “that black guy” serving as is his defense secretary.

Recall that the Democrats foisted Joe as their standard bearer for the 2020 election and lo and behold, over 80 million voters apparently agreed with this choice and by some miraculous 13^th or 14^th hour vote tabulation, he was our guy!  We still don’t know the exact count, because they’re still tabulating them 4 years later…just in case.  His preferred Vice Presidential running mate was someone that finished 6^th out of 8 candidates during the debates….by Democratic party voters, so their own party didn’t think much of her.

With Joe’s “sudden” decision to withdraw from the next election campaign, this 6^th choice is bizarrely in a position to lead the United States.   And….nobody voted for her! I wonder if 80 million voters are collectively upset?  It’s as if you ordered something off the menu at The French Laundry; were told that only soup was available and eventually got served a Big Mac from the kid’s menu. You can’t complain because, you know, racist and sexist.

I’ve spoken about this topic before, of how the public is realistically removed from the ‘democratic’ voting process.  As we’ve seen in numerous elections recently, in France, in Canada and most conspicuously now in the U.S., a very miniscule part of the population determines who gets to rule over the vast number of hapless citizens.  It’s comical to hear the on-going bleats about the importance of voting when in reality, the choices and winners are pre-determined. George Carlin was correct.  If voting worked, they wouldn’t allow it.

If you’re noticing that we’re living in a more and more regulated society, it’s not your imagination. The reality is that over our lifetime, virtually every aspect of our lives is governed by some sort of edict or decree which restricts our ability to live as free people.  It’s as if we’ve all come under the auspices of a mega HOA regime with Karens ruling every aspect of our behavior.

Well whaddya know, it’s absolutely not our imagination.  The US Supreme Court just recently issued a landmark ruling that reveals that our lives have in fact been controlled not by freely elected representatives, but by un-elected bureaucrats whom have steadily increased their control over society.

The Court overturned something labelled “The Chevron Deference”. Those who may be interested in the finer details of the decision can read about it in the link above or here.  In very simplistic terms, this doctrine was adopted in 1984 with regard to a specific case involving fines against a private company.  The Supreme Court in that year decided that they could not be expected to know the intricacies of all aspects of an issue and thus would defer to regulatory agencies because they knew best. Thus, these agencies went on to impose all kinds of fines, rules and restrictions in virtually every field of citizen behavior.

So, for the past 40 years, federal agencies have been able to ‘interpret’ laws to mean whatever they want and the courts had to just go with it.

As we know, the regulatory agencies exploded in number as did their arbitrary edicts. As is clear, most of these agencies were bureaucratic creations, not held to account by voters and which survived numerous cycles of elections. We all know these agencies because they are still imposing edicts and mandates to this day.  The most recent glaring example of this was the CDC with their edicts on vaccinations, masking and confinement.

But there are many more numerous agencies that make edicts without any regard for public input or responsibility, some which people never think about.  OSHA and ATF are such agencies, creating rules out of whole cloth that had to be followed…without legal right to do so.  One does not have to be brilliant to draw a link between the edicts created by these agencies with corporations who would benefit from them. This ruling by the Supreme Court will effectively cast light on the validity of so many edicts that citizens have had to comply with over the years and we can possibly see the elimination of many of these edicts….if not some agencies entirely.  We’ll all be better for it as we can roll back the years of arbitrary Karenism by unelected bureaucrats.
