I've experienced firsthand the Deep State at the state level. Back in January, I applied to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to get my CPA license reinstated. I had recently moved to Kentucky and had forgotten to get my license renewed in Illinois. Six months later, I am still waiting to have my license reinstated. Illinois, of course, has cashed my check for the reinstatement fee.

Michael, thank you. A clear, concise overview about what frustrates everyone who deals with government agencies and why it is so important to bring about fundamental change in the coming federal and state elections.

Trump needs Vivek as VP. I believe Vivek is the only man capable of cutting the roots off the Deep State. All the other prospects for VP are too close to the Deep State, too nice, or too valuable where they are right now.

Rhizomes can't be killed by weed pulling. They have to be extinguished by destroying the entire root system.

I know of only one person in this time and place who realizes this AND has the ability and desire to do the grueling work to clear things out.

Too bad you were not invited to advise Trump during his term in office. His failure to fire all of the deputy Attorneys General allowed the Department of Justice to continue as an oxymoron.

Michael, This is your best article yet.

Well timed to showcase the difficulty of any elected officials, although most accept, encourage & support the deep state bureaucracy.
