But before I get feeling too cozy with the change in Washington DC, I pause to realize those who brought us credentialism and corruption and what I call the anointed path are still out there. The feminists, the social scientists and social engineers, the teacher's unions, the university professors, the doctors and lawyers, and more. Their power may have declined but I doubt their ambitions have changed. Just read Robert Reich's Substack posts.
Indeed, in my darker moments the glorious prospects before us seem almost utopian, almost "What can be, unburdened by what has been (during rise of the Progressives)". We conservatives mustn't become complacent. Inquiry, transparency, decentralization, Federalism, and pragmatism must continue. May God bless America and teach us how to balance a budget.
Fabulous! (from a reader in England)
Thank you.
A marvelous, valedictory post. Thank you.

You are welcome. And you are right. Many resistant personalities out there.
