In a Wall Street Journal article published Wednesday, conservative commentator Mark Helprin accused the Trump administration of being "too addicted to shock, awe and intimidation to see the harm it is doing to itself."

"In his attempt to break the excesses of the administrative state, Mr. Trump’s every action can be countermanded. More consequentially, given that the seat and beneficiary of the administrative state is the executive, once the wheel turns and a Democratic administration effortlessly reverses his flurry of executive orders, augmented executive power insulated from judicial restraint will resurrect and supercharge the permanent bureaucracy," Helprin wrote.

"Thus, unbeknownst to him, Mr. Trump is building, as he might say, an “incredibly beautiful” fortress—across the battlements of which Elizabeth Warren may someday stride," he added.

The columnist noted that the administration's initiatives in various areas jeopardize its true achievements. "Its delight in shock and awe feeds upon itself in complete disregard of history and without projecting forward in view of the relative powers it seeks to marshal against those of the world, the laws of economics, and the very weight of reality, all of which it seems to imagine it is somehow able to intimidate," he said.

"Although Congress planted the administrative state within the executive and only Congress can extirpate it, nonetheless Elon Musk has been set loose to move fast and break it," the commentator wrote.

"The fact that payroll, for example, represents only 5% of federal expenditures makes many of his targets look more like the cape than the bullfighter. Rather than savings quietly accomplished by attrition and carefully deliberated reductions, a lot of political capital is evaporating in exchange for frissons and provocations," he said.​

Trump Accidentally Called Former National Security Adviser He Fired: Report

President Donald Trump last month accidentally called his former national security adviser, whom he had fired in his first term.

On March 3, Trump attempted to call South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) when he or an aide instead dialed the personal number of Trump’s former national security adviser, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, according to a new report from CBS News.

Trump referred to H.R. McMaster ― who goes by Herbert ― as Henry on the phone before launching into a conversation not meant for the former adviser.

“Mr. President, this is H.R. McMaster,” he reportedly told Trump before the president responded with an expletive.

“Why the **** would I talk [to H.R. McMaster?]” Trump said after realizing the mistake, multiple sources told CBS News.

Trump fired McMaster during his first term in 2018, saying in a tweet at the time that McMaster “will always remain my friend.”

But since then, McMaster has been a vocal critic of the president, calling him an “extremely disruptive person” and criticizing Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A day before the mistaken phone call, Trump lambasted McMaster on social media as a “weak and totally ineffective loser” after the former adviser questioned Trump’s motives with the Russian leader in an interview with “60 Minutes.”

White House communications director Steven Cheung told CBS News McMaster has “beclowned himself.”

“H.R. McMaster has completely beclowned himself and his third-rate book, which is now sold in the bargain bin of the fiction section of a discount bookstore, is filled with lies in a futile attempt to rehabilitate his tattered reputation,” Cheung said.

McMaster did not respond to a request for comment from CBS News.

The same month as the phone call, another security failure happened after Trump’s current national security adviser, Mike Waltz, texted war plans in a Signal group chat where he had accidentally included the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.

The Washington Post also reported that Waltz used his personal Gmail account for government communications.

National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes told The Post that Waltz “didn’t and wouldn’t send classified information on an open account.”

 

Judge allows requirement that everyone in the US illegally must register to move forward
A federal judge is allowing the Trump administration to move forward with a requirement that everyone in the U.S. illegally must register with the federal government

WASHINGTON -- A federal judge is allowing the Trump administration to move forward with a requirement that everyone in the U.S. illegally must register with the federal government, in a move that could have far-reaching repercussions for immigrants across the country.

In a ruling Thursday, Judge Trevor Neil McFadden sided with the administration, which had argued that they were simply enforcing an already existing requirement for everyone in the country who wasn’t an American citizen to register with the government.

The requirement goes into effect Friday.

The Department of Homeland Security announced Feb. 25 that it was mandating that all people in the United States illegally register with the federal government, and said those who didn’t self-report could face fines or prosecution. Failure to register is considered a crime, and people will be required to carry registration documents with them or risk prison time and fines.

I wonder what the next requirement will be. Tattoos on their forearms???

Surely they have nothing to fear.
