Well, would you look at that? The U.S. government is finally acting like... a government.
Gone are the days when mid-level bureaucrats could sip soy lattes, shuffle papers, ignore actual law, and still walk away with a pension fat enough to rival a small country’s GDP. The message is clear under President Trump’s America First administration: Do your job—or don’t expect to keep it.
In recent actions, we’ve seen what real leadership looks like when the White House decides enough is enough. First, the Trump administration dropped the hammer on South Sudan by revoking all U.S. visas and halting future visa issuances until the country accepts back its own deportees. Translation: you don’t get to play house in America while pretending you’ve never met your own citizens. Uncle Sam just locked the door and turned off the porch light.
Second, a Justice Department lawyer was suspended for failing to “zealously advocate” for a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported. Now, if you’re normal, you might say, “Wait, Kevin, doesn’t that contradict the first story?” And that’s where the brilliance of Trump’s team shines.
