Right Shift

    The U.S. national government is taking a hard right turn, as the incoming president names his chief staffers who will take office with him as his term begins on Jan. 20, 2025.
   Oddly, some have very little experience in government, or their primary qualification is personal loyalty to their new boss. But that seems to be the crucial test for the incoming president's decision.
   Not experience, but loyalty.
   Therein lies the danger to America and its way of life. Not that you may do as you wish, but to do as you're told.
   The longer and greater danger is that when his new term expires in the coming four years, he will find some excuse to suspend the Constitution and continue his time in office, past the two-term limit, until and unless he alone decides to pass the Oval Office to one of his devoted colleagues.
   Or perhaps to a member of his family.
