This is exactly why government is so dysfunctional. We elect people based on their agenda and experience but they hit a wall when trying to implement plan because of staff that think they know better!
Maybe that's why My Favorite President has decided to focus more on the foreign agenda where the Deep State bureaucrats can't obstruct his actions as much as they do in the domestic front⁉️‼️⁉️🤔
It will take many Reformative Administrations (aka, MAGA type,) to undue decades of Bureaucratic malfeasance. This is why we need to dig in our heels.
It has also not helped, that the President has spent the majority of his Capital on issues abroad. I am not discounting the need. Especially, rebuilding our infrastructure, manufacturing and energy sector.
Yet, I feel it came at a cost. He does not seem to have much sway with his Republican Congress. They have not advanced many of the most important parts of the President's agenda and I believe they never had any intention to do so. Bobby has tried mightily, to reform HHS. It too is an uphill battle.
I think many that voted for MAHA and MAGA are disappointed. We need to keep our faith and continue to vote for change. Things don't change over-night.
Comes down one basic issue. The bureaucratic leadership that runs the multiple agencies in Washington regardless of who is in the oval office and have been resident for years answers to who.? When the profitability of the chemo industry, the food industry and the drug industry is at risk of being shrunk. All knives are out.!
I know the phrase, but I’ve never seen it used in this context. I’ve only seen it used in the sexual dynamics context. But this is not a new phenomenon. It’s been going on for years in every aspect of government.
The way you deal with it is by firing or defunding or making irrelevant the person doing the blocking. Generally success against this tactic requires absolutely ruthless and tactless pursuit of the objective with subordinates who will pursue the objective with the same ruthlessness and tactlessness. They run the blocker to ground and provide targeting information to the superior who overpowers the opposition. Then the subordinate continues the pursuit until they find the next blocker. I’ve been there many times.
"The way you deal with it is by firing or defunding or making irrelevant the person doing the blocking."
That works.... until the blocker can get an injunction preventing his removal. Then you spend a year or two dragging it to SCOTUS and hope they will hear the case.
That is what they're doing because contrary to how they characterize our president, they know that he WILL follow the law. It is up to We The People to stand up and say: WE'VE HAD ENOUGH ‼️‼️‼️
DEFUND and EXPUNGE all Communists NOW embedded in the executive, legislative and judicial. Recall, the Communist Party USA was outlawed back in the 30's.
I agree, basically, however, firing people being the most effective way to show power over the entrenched will require big balls and big guns.
The ability to run an aggressive enough war against the entrenched will be directly proportional to the raw personality and strength of character of the newly ensconced department head. Secondarily, but not by much, by how much this head is supported by the administration and legal counsel to an extreme degree.
Just guessing, but it is not likely most new political appointees are prepared for what it really takes.
I think the Heritage Foundation tried to help there with their agenda formulation and the development of potential roster of "good" hires. But, the Government is Hugh. The senior layers are armed. It's a major war out there.
Jean, you're more optimistic than I am. I am of the opinion that if it doesn't happen now when we have such a knowledgeable and bold president, we just won't get it done!!!
The leader needs aggressive, supportive and committed subordinates. The old Aide d’ Camp position or something similar. Slang term in the military for this job is, or was, ‘dog robber’, as in Smitty is MG Jone’s dog robber.
Thanks for your article. It has some real insights into how the government really works. But this bureaucracy is not impossible to deal with. We can't throw in the towel! I have been a political activist, in many ways "fighting the system" for nearly fifty years, currently with Promethean Action. One thing I have learned is how to be "patiently impatient," as Lyndon LaRouche used to say. People like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Lee Zeldin are doing some very good work, but as you say, in a hostile environment. We have to do our part to keep up the work to change that environment. We just got a boost with the Supreme Court decision that allows the president to remove members of Congressionally created regulatory commissions who are opposing his policies. This is big! If people don't get demoralized and instead rally for a big vote for MAGA candidates in November, I think we can see the trajectory continue in a direction that will make a lot of people happy. We will see more eating away of the "deep state" bureaucracy, including in the areas relating to pesticides and other harmful chemicals. We just have to be patiently impatient.
And yet the Supremes dealt us a blow with pesticide liability protection. Stand for Health Freedom has a petition you can sign supporting the People Over Poison FIFRA amendment.

H. R. 9528.
To amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act to protect tort claims under State law related to labeling or packaging of pesticides or devices, and for other purposes.
Section 1: Short title: This Act may be cited as the People Over Poison Act.
Section 2: Protecting tort claims under State law related to labeling or packaging of pesticides or devices
Section 24(b) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136v(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following:
The previous sentence shall not be construed to prohibit or otherwise limit a claim related to the labeling or packaging of pesticides or devices under the tort law of any State.
If government agencies, or certain people in them, were willing to be much more aggressive in informing the public about all these various dangerous products and chemicals, that would be one way to combat the power of the big corporations.
But many of the customers of these big corporations are OTHER big corporations! So you won't break some of these markets at the consumer level. You have to expose that these powerful groups are doing and turn the general public against them, or at least against the criminal activity. We could them threaten: reform or we shut you down.
Action outing and opposing any and all corporations foisting toxic products on us or for our use would be helpful. These corporations depend on income. Seeing they aren't getting it should be a useful strategy.
And to the extent they are competitive, they also depend on good PR. Apple took a hit when reports came out about inhumane conditions in iPhone factories in China. However, large companies seem to be amazingly resilient in this regard.
Much appreciate your point. Maybe those who can might think of stepping out to local gardening, home owner groups, hoa grroups, yard care operations and spread the message using some of the articles and data?
I'm not in a position to insert myself here, but this would present an opportunity. Im in a suburb & HOA. Got notice of local Master Gardener opportunity. Opp - discussion on pests, weeds, etc - ask options. Note concerns about being poisoned - etc.
Greeting from the Thumb Coat, Michigan! My attempt is to boycott not just Roundup but every product that is in the public domain produced or pushed by the corporation producing the named item. If money talks, the lack of money may
UNLESS the US CONGRESS takes full cognizance and responsibility to ACT on its fiduciary DUTY as written in ARTICLE I, Section 8., of the all but moribund US Constitution, the "Fragile Experiment with Freedom" Ben Franklin spoke of in 1787 will DIE!
Trump tweeted out Lee Zeldin's "committment" to transparency in October of 2025 over chemtrails. Yet we still see them sprayed in our beautiful skies regularly. I understand the phrase "cock blocked" and it's infuriating.
This observation should be broadcast on X so that people can see why this administration is being sabotaged, otherwise it will be blamed for not following through on promises. The Deep State needs to be exposed every chance we get. Also, pressure needs to be brought on Trump and officials like Lee Zeldin, who should have been following the MAHA mandate, but apparently he is just another one captured by industry.
I think our entire government is corrupt and has been bought. Greed will not sustain "we the people". It seems the best solution would be to get rid of our over bloated government and start a new. Everything has gotten out of control and we can't even depend on fair elections where only live, tax paying citizens vote. Conservatives need to stay diligent and make sure to get to the polls at every opportunity. MAGA
LB, it is my prayer that we can mobilize, however after how our side was framed during the January 6th event, people are too afraid 😨 to organize and protest against all of these bad actors‼️
Maybe we should pick a RINO a day and all of us bombard each of their websites with a wake up message....needs organizing. Shall we all start with Thune? Same message 100x in one day!
Here we go:
Wake up, Get off your A**, Do the job you were elected for, Support our President, We the Voters who Elected him are tired of your wish-wash mumbo salads, We the People are tired of your hands in our hard earned monies forcefully taken by never ending taxes. Do you hear us, we are not happy with your poor performance. We see beyond your words and now call for decisive and Constitutional actions. No more Super PACS or NGOS. No more back room deals. Transparency from you and Term Limits. There's more but you should be getting the idea!
How's that sound Ana? Feel free to add/subtrack/tastefully embellish ;>]
Hi, LB! Greetings from MI's Thumb Coast! How about an open letter to the Congressional Republican caucus? Polite, but to the point. You've made a terrific start! Slainte!
STARTING over a HALF CENTURY ago, Brandy! - Recall - was it TIME Magazine with a picture of Karl Marx on the cover with the headline: "We Are All Socialists Now."
The USA has devolved into the USSA - in the name of egalitarianism via "social justice."
I have presumed the same "cock blocking" phenomenon explains the disappointing performance of the FBI since Kash Patel and, for a while, Dan Bongino had the director and deputy director roles. The staff person who drove the Intelligence Committee's exposure of the Russiagate hoax and author of Government Gangsters is in charge of the FBI, but there has been no notable accountability for anything. I do not have any inside information or great examples like Dr. Malone's, but I am confident that Patel and Bongino found that they could not change anything at the FBI. Poor Kash Patel is left reciting crime statistics and describing the "record" size of drug busts.
Elsewhere, "Mass Deportations" are a trickle, if even that, and there is only talk about illegal aliens. The deportation statistics show there will not even be a dent in the numbers.
I try to focus on accomplishments of the Administration that I value, but there are not many. No wonder "cock blocked" is so widely used among political appointees.
An important story exposing the depth of the swamp that too many people don’t want to believe exists, so they blame the wrong people. We need to double down and support the people we put in. This is going to take a while.
Having spent 24 yrs as a bureaucrat, in a major Federal Agency, this essay does reflect my experiences.
I was first hired during a major hire of state employees (a fed-state administered program). I noted many of the hires questioned aspects of fed direction. Once they were hired, they ended up in positions that would thwart any influence.
Next came Reagan and the Grace Commission. The Commission had many suggestions for our Agency. We had many strategies that were deployed to deflect them. I'm not aware of any change made as a result of Grace advice.
Then there came an identification of a major problem in review adjudications. On the basis of State-Fed experience and recent training, got my managers to meet and formulate a recommendation that they forwarded (in rough) to a Senator and staff, that were particularly responsive to our Agency's needs. Their head of that staff was enthusiastic. The next I learned was that person was hired and placed in an office to work on it (never to be heard from again).
The observations here ring true! IMO, the recent "support" our (HHS team) has received from Justice lawyers (last seconds and poorly presented) falls into this exercise.
Watching MAHA Action just now, I gather their next step is trying to pull together and activate.
I haven't had the opportunity to read your upcoming book yet, but expect that is a primary and vital strategy! Let a war on the obstructions begin! AND best of luck to us all!
We cannot pin our hopes on any one person or administration. Once they get in power, they become corrupt if they weren't already. We can rely only on ourselves, our families, and our communities.
That said, we still must stay engaged and VOTE for the most true conservative people we can find.
I like what you say but its thin gruel here in CO. We now have a progressive socialist 29 yr old female on the Demoncratic side in the District 1 CO congressional race. I looked up the Republican runner, Christy Peterson? There's hardly anything on her website and the last I saw, she has no endorsements, no campaign funds and is not getting herself known in any way, shape or form.
Our 2 remaining Republican candidates for governor after the primaries (still too close to call) are a RINO and some guy with a non profit who already has to return over enthusiastic campaign donations he says he was unaware of and who also indicates he is the fastest man alive to disassemble a gun. I don't know the man, but don't see those credentials as my idea of a winner. They are pitted against the Demoncrat who has been the Attorney General here, has sued Trump 66 times and while the number of lawsuits is clear, details regarding the financial implications for taxpayers remain unavailable.
Sounds terrible. Are there any R supporting groups operating in your area? Turning Point, Promthean Action (they help develop local circles to support), local Republican groups?
That's a completely new phrase to me (I'm 63). Your explanation and dissection of the issue and its being used by upper administration people reveals how the bowels of bureaucracy have become so constipated.
Everything you described is 100% accurate to what I've experienced over the years of trying to bring natural medicine thru the federal regulatory system. (It's been a lonely battle.) Add in the professional trade groups (guilds as you've rightly described them) and experts at universities, which are the breeding grounds for the entrenched system to sustain itself. Whether young college graduates getting their fingers onto regulations that then can wield them against "upstart" independent thinking people or the good ol' boy/girl appointees that perpetuate the agencies that they've effectively navigated while at their corporate /university mommy... DC continues as it is.
At the State level, however, real change can take place simply by being involved, being respectful in manner and conduct and logical persuasion. At least that's my experience. On that, I'm now strongly for "States' rights", not as reactionary to the civil rights of the 1960's but in response to the institutional roadblocks that have led to why the term cock blocked is now in vogue in DC.
This was very educational, as it is a brand new vulgar use of the English language I have never heard, and I just turned 72 this month! Wow, it makes me ashamed of my stupidity!
There are more an more reasons for backyard gardens, chickens, and water filtered pitchers. The less we depend on government food like, canola, soy oils, chemical preservatives, additives in our foods, fake meat, fake cheese, margarine, the healthier we will become. Which helps us to prove we do not like our unhealthy choices in our grocery stores.
We the people have changed the direction of corruption in the past by not buying their products! Think about what happened to the soft drink industry, beer companies, favorite restaurant changes, feminine hygiene products that caused near bankruptcy to businesses..this article could benefit the masses to become educated in basic lifestyle changes, or choices, which turn the Cock fighters into barnyard buddies!
Definitely will be sharing this with family and friends!
Thank you once again Robert and Jill for opening my eyes today!
Since I always get excited about reading one of the Malone’s Homestead posts, you can imagine my surprise and embarrassment when I discovered what it was really about! Then I laughed and laughed. Then I got angry when I realized how many years this “cock blocking” had actually been going on! Our government really does “suck”, doesn’t it! Sigh!!!
I thought this was going to be a Homesteading post about your roosters 😂
OK - you got a laugh out of me!
This is exactly why government is so dysfunctional. We elect people based on their agenda and experience but they hit a wall when trying to implement plan because of staff that think they know better!
Maybe that's why My Favorite President has decided to focus more on the foreign agenda where the Deep State bureaucrats can't obstruct his actions as much as they do in the domestic front⁉️‼️⁉️🤔
AND NOT ELECTED! SLAINTE!
I swear I did too. Thought it was just being used as a play on words because the Malone's have a sense of humor.
Or his stallions 🤣🐴
It will take many Reformative Administrations (aka, MAGA type,) to undue decades of Bureaucratic malfeasance. This is why we need to dig in our heels.

Well said. Discouraging, but we cannot waver or yield. Keep the faith. Dig in our heels. Spread the word. Open our mouths.
Exactly 💯 %.
Word of mouth is the best form of advertising ‼️‼️
Not in New York.

Ana, "he will follow the law"...until the courts of law determine that he doesn't.
He DOES follow the law as his attorneys direct him. He always follows the advise of counsel.
That's definitely happening.
DEFUND and EXPUNGE all Communists NOW embedded in the executive, legislative and judicial. Recall, the Communist Party USA was outlawed back in the 30's.

We need to prepare the appointees for the battle or not send them in to be defeated.
I think the Heritage Foundation tried to help there with their agenda formulation and the development of potential roster of "good" hires. But, the Government is Hugh. The senior layers are armed. It's a major war out there.
Jean, yes that is why I'm a Heritage Foundation Sentinel. I get frustrated at how little impact that we have against this monolithic Deep State‼️
With this additional experience I'm hoping Heritage will be at the ready with more and more advanced support for 2028!
Jean, you're more optimistic than I am. I am of the opinion that if it doesn't happen now when we have such a knowledgeable and bold president, we just won't get it done!!!
The process MUST BE STARTED YESTERDAY ‼️
HOW, Ana?
Tom, I'm sorry but since I'm viewing this on my phone, I don't see what point you are asking: HOW?
I was referring as to how you would bring bout how you would "get it done"?
If you're referring to preparing the appointees, I think that they need to be exposed to the background of all of those who they'll be dealing with.
My guess would be kind of how they prepare a candidate for the debates.
They need to know what to expect and how to handle certain situations.
Those would be some suggestions for starters.
Let's hope.
The leader needs aggressive, supportive and committed subordinates. The old Aide d’ Camp position or something similar. Slang term in the military for this job is, or was, ‘dog robber’, as in Smitty is MG Jone’s dog robber.
Seems to be working relatively well in the Dept. of Education. Terminate staff and shift responsibilities until it's gone.
Until ALL MARXIST curricula (and) Marxist "teachers" expunged, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.
So true.
It will have to get ugly before we will be able to win this battle ‼️‼️
BRING IT ON!

A couple things 'we the people' can do:
Stop buying/ using Roundup and it's fellow dangerous products to kill weeds and insects.
Promote identification of and purchase support for products that are desiccant/ toxin free products.
If government agencies, or certain people in them, were willing to be much more aggressive in informing the public about all these various dangerous products and chemicals, that would be one way to combat the power of the big corporations.

Maybe we could start a campaign of alternatives to Roundup targeted at gardening clubs?

Spot on, Charles. After reading Patel's book GOVERNMENT GANGSTERS - and what they did to HIM I had hoped he would reciprocate in spades! HAH!

Colorado became dominated by DemoComies and RINOcommies back in the Patsy Schroder and Sibeling era...DOWNHILL from there
That's a completely new phrase to me (I'm 63). Your explanation and dissection of the issue and its being used by upper administration people reveals how the bowels of bureaucracy have become so constipated.
Everything you described is 100% accurate to what I've experienced over the years of trying to bring natural medicine thru the federal regulatory system. (It's been a lonely battle.) Add in the professional trade groups (guilds as you've rightly described them) and experts at universities, which are the breeding grounds for the entrenched system to sustain itself. Whether young college graduates getting their fingers onto regulations that then can wield them against "upstart" independent thinking people or the good ol' boy/girl appointees that perpetuate the agencies that they've effectively navigated while at their corporate /university mommy... DC continues as it is.
At the State level, however, real change can take place simply by being involved, being respectful in manner and conduct and logical persuasion. At least that's my experience. On that, I'm now strongly for "States' rights", not as reactionary to the civil rights of the 1960's but in response to the institutional roadblocks that have led to why the term cock blocked is now in vogue in DC.
Ditto, and I'm almost 87!
This was very educational, as it is a brand new vulgar use of the English language I have never heard, and I just turned 72 this month! Wow, it makes me ashamed of my stupidity!
There are more an more reasons for backyard gardens, chickens, and water filtered pitchers. The less we depend on government food like, canola, soy oils, chemical preservatives, additives in our foods, fake meat, fake cheese, margarine, the healthier we will become. Which helps us to prove we do not like our unhealthy choices in our grocery stores.
We the people have changed the direction of corruption in the past by not buying their products! Think about what happened to the soft drink industry, beer companies, favorite restaurant changes, feminine hygiene products that caused near bankruptcy to businesses..this article could benefit the masses to become educated in basic lifestyle changes, or choices, which turn the Cock fighters into barnyard buddies!
Definitely will be sharing this with family and friends!
Thank you once again Robert and Jill for opening my eyes today!
Since I always get excited about reading one of the Malone’s Homestead posts, you can imagine my surprise and embarrassment when I discovered what it was really about! Then I laughed and laughed. Then I got angry when I realized how many years this “cock blocking” had actually been going on! Our government really does “suck”, doesn’t it! Sigh!!!
