The latest jobs report delivers a massive win buried beneath the headlines: excluding the U.S. Postal Service, federal government employment plummeted in November to its lowest level since January 2015—nearly 11 years ago. This means there are fewer entrenched bureaucrats clogging the system today than at any point during Trump’s first administration, a direct result of ruthless cuts through deferred resignations and targeted reductions. While overall payrolls added a modest 64,000 jobs amid economic headwinds, the real story is the savage pruning of the deep state swamp, shedding thousands more paper-pushers who spent decades bloating budgets and stifling American innovation.

This historic shrinkage—down hundreds of thousands since the administration’s aggressive purge began—exposes the bloated federal beast for what it was: a parasite feasting on taxpayer dollars without delivering results. Trump’s team, fueled by the Department of Government Efficiency, forced out the dead weight through buyouts and reforms that finally hit payrolls hard in October and November. No more velvet-gloved civility toward lifetime regulators; this is the primal fury needed to reclaim efficiency, slash waste, and redirect resources to real Americans instead of endless bureaucracy.

Wake up to the Darwinian reality: nations thrive when predators cull the herd, not when sheep graze complacently in overgrown pastures. Fewer federal bureaucrats means leaner government, faster decisions, and a republic roaring back to strength—proof that Trump’s blade is carving out victory from decades of complacency. This isn’t just good news; it’s a blood-soaked triumph in the fight for America’s soul. Sharpen the claws; the hunt is paying off.
