Intense bureaucratic liposuction needs to follow ... with selective amputation.  A fifty percent trimmer and leaner executive branch.

How about a VP pick who has the skills to cut the fat out of government.  Sigurdur, can Burgum do it?

Burgum can and would do it. Government has shrunk in ND, services have improved.

He of course, met resistance from some legislators and public employees.

This guy "threw the bums out" and made a bunch of lifetime bureaucrats very angry. The bible education stuff is just for good measure, in case they weren't sufficiently upset with him.

Test scores rose nicely after he took over.

But really I'd support Oklahoma governor Stitt for president over any of our current names.

Gorsuch has the type of mindset I would like from the bench.

Victoria Cross awarded posthumously to late Vietnam War veteran Richard Norden

During Operation Toan Thang, Norden's platoon was ambushed and came under heavy fire from a squad of North Vietnamese Army regular soldiers.
Their section commander and a scout were wounded, and Norden ran forward under heavy fire to reach them.
Norden killed a Vietnamese soldier and seized a machine gun which he turned against the enemy squad.
He then half-carried and half-dragged the severely wounded section commander back to safety.
Norden was seriously wounded but moved forward again in an attempt to rescue the scout, who he found dead.
After collecting some grenades, the private returned to the enemy a third time, clearing the way for the recovery of the scout's body.
Norden's actions meant the enemy's position could be secured and likely saved the lives of others in his platoon.
Norden returned to Australia and after the war, joined the Australian Capital Territory Police.
He died in a traffic accident while on active service with the police force in 1972.

My birthday didn't come up in the conscription ballot for service in Vietnam ....

Hindsight's 20-20 but wow what a pointless, dumb war that was.
