There is little doubt in my mind that many of these useless agencies could be eliminated, if not by the President's direct edict, than by cooperation with the Republican controlled Congress.
Let's just see what happens...
Thank you for the clarification.
The New York Times Nov. 11, 2016 just caught on to the significance of Myron Ebell as head of the EPA transition team: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/12/sci...
"In looking for someone to follow through on his campaign vow to dismantle one of the Obama administration’s signature climate change policies, President-elect Donald J. Trump probably could not have found a better candidate for the job than Mr. Ebell.
"Mr. Ebell, who revels in taking on the scientific consensus on global warming, will be Mr. Trump’s lead agent in choosing personnel and setting the direction of the federal agencies that address climate change and environmental policy more broadly."
"Mr. Ebell has said that 'a lot of third-, fourth- and fifth-rate scientists have gotten a long ways' by embracing climate change. He frequently mocks climate leaders like Al Gore, and has called the movement the 'forces of darkness' because 'they want to turn off the lights all over the world.'
"No one, it seems, is immune to his criticism. He called Pope Francis’s encyclical on climate change, issued in mid-2015, 'scientifically ill informed, economically illiterate, intellectually incoherent and morally obtuse.'”
Good to hear from you.
"'People are upset. Some people took the day off because they were depressed,' said John O'Grady, president of American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, a union that represents thousands of EPA employees. After Election Day, 'people were crying,' added O'Grady, who works in EPA's Region 5 office in Chicago. 'They were recommending that people take sick leave and go home.'"
I hope they hear this "your fired"
"After Trump's inauguration in January, 'I will be coming to work and continue to be paid for the work that I do,' said the career EPA employee. 'Whether I like it, whether they like it, that remains to be seen.'"
and http://www.eenews.net/stories/1060045...
"The agency chief said she would continue to run EPA through 'the finish line of President Obama's presidency' and noted its past work on combating climate change, fighting water pollution and its outreach to local communities.
"She concluded, Thank you for taking that run with me. I'm looking forward to all the progress that still lies ahead.'"
Also "she concluded ...blah blah...still lies ahead"
With the left always keep in mind that there are always, lies ahead.
Got it! 3-H undergoes beta decay to become 3-He, contaminating the water.
Or were the EPA afraid some one of your lab rats might spit in it?
then burn it ;^)
BUT the President Elect needs to start cutting some of these agencies within the Government. Get back to what the Constitution called for.
The truth is, I bought into the global warming scare for a couple years but there were too many inconsistencies and holes in the theory. Below are 2 things that made me inquisitive about the subject.
When I was in high school in the 70's, the big scare at the time was global cooling. In the 90's it switched to global warming and when catastrophic things didn't happen, the narrative became climate change. Now everything can be blamed on the weather. The other thing that didn't make sense, is every time there is a new record temperature, it is breaking a record from the late 1800's or early 1900 and that's still going on today. It was very warm at times prior to the use of automobiles and with a population that was significantly smaller than it is today. It just did not make sense.
There are many more reasons why I don't buy what the climate changers are selling but simply don't have time to go into all the details. Here are a couple links to check out that may start you down the path of truth.

Also watching the documentary "An Inconsistent Truth" is helpful.
Besides, some of the international politicians are careless or arrogant enough to say openly that the whole exercise is to get money from the rich countries to pay the poor. As vast majority of poor countries are deeply corrupt dictatorship (you wonder why they are poor?) the charitable benefits are out of the question.
WOOO!
Great start, Mr. President!
In the most recent regular TV show in the Star Trek franchise, you saw how Star Fleet became more than a strictly Earth-representative and predominantly human institution. Star Fleet aggressively recruited people away from the space navies of the handful of worlds that would form the permanent membership in the Federation Council. This predated the Federation.
That would be equivalent to the United States Army, Navy and Air Force (and the Marine Corps) actively recruiting British, French, German, and Chinese troops and other personnel, and perhaps even reregistering British and Chinese ships as ships of the United States Navy. It would then be a simple matter of converting the United States Armed Services to the United Nations Armed Services.
The only guarantee I see against a federal force acting like an army of occupation, is that "well-regulated militia," consisting of citizens "keep[ing] and bear[ing] arms" and knowing how to use them, of which the Second Amendment speaks.
when things definitely start getting better for the whole of the nation the looney's will still find fault.
Formulate a list of executive orders he wishes to rescind. Call Ryan and ask that the House initiate a Bill to require the President, with majority affirmation by both houses of congress, to rescind all subject executive orders.
Alternately: Call a meeting with Ryan and McConnell and ask that they call to the floor each measure for a formal vote. Should each pass, then Trump issues an executive order BASED ON THE PASSAGE BY THE CONGRESS OF THEIR FORMAL AFFIRMATION OF SAME.
The purpose of either of these measures is to stop the executive branch of the government from further usurpation of the congressional branch's responsibilities. Failure to so act will result in the next time a collectivist zealot reaches the White House, he or she will simply issue whatever batch of executive orders they cannot get the congress to lawfully enact.
