Nearing the Final Battle Against the Deep State

Original Article

Posted By: 4250Luis, 3/30/2025 4:42:06 AM

While numerous federal district court judges have issued ill-conceived restraining orders against the administration, I have long believed that it will prevail in its efforts to place control of the state in the hands of the elected executive, away from the deep state bureaucracy and its black-robed judicial allies. As the litigation of these matters proceeds, I think my belief will be justified. We will return to a constitutional republican form of government. For a day-to-day look at the progress of these multiple cases,

I find it not just ironic but also deeply satisfying that this final battle and imminent victory against the deep state has been brought to a climax by the very TDS excesses, including the absurd lawfare, that the deep state has used in their vain attempt to destroy President Trump. His heroic efforts have been literally epic and will go down in history as one of the greatest achievements in the protection of this country and its Constitution.

Please next launch a full out attack on the Deep State's sources of foreign money and domestic billionaire lucre. The Deep State is just like a cancer - if you shut off the blood supply (money), the organism will expire. (In the article Clarice mentioned the late P.J. O'Rourke. America lost one of its greatest wits when he died... he is sorely missed.)

Clarice is always a must-read but this one is packed extra-full of facts that are tied together by brilliant writing. The light at the end of this tunnel is getting brighter and more promising for us but is definitely a speeding train coming toward the Deep State and the dirty democrats that keep the destruction going. Putting a bridle on the CIA is a must-do because they are the same as they have been since 1947, secretive, manipulative and never honest about it. They need to be visible to be kept in line. One huge job that will make that possible and also allow better AI to be applied across the government's data and actions will be the standardization of computers and data bases across all agencies. That's a one-line item on the to-do list but will take decades to accomplish. Many of those systems were developed when Microsoft was just a dream in some nerd's head.

Clarice's piece is a pretty summary of the current state of play with respect to the deep state battle. So far, the battle is being fought in the political domain, the msm, social media, and now the courts. Will it stay that way? Who knows. It is worth your time to play Brett Baier's interview with Elon Musk. The link is imbedded in the article. The interview affords a pretty good glimpse of Elon, who he is, and his value system.

"the next target of DOGE is the CIA" Trump and Musk have brilliantly gone after the money, choking off the Left and Deep State. There has, unsurprisingly, been lawfare against their efforts. Trump has guided the process toward a culmination soon to come. As the CIA tries to fight back, they are likely to quickly face a wall of legal decisions that says Trump can do exactly as he wants to. The CIA will be pushed aside and exposed. There will likely be a wave of terminations and hopefully some arrests for criminal activity. ""Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer said" Trump has taken this warning to heart and has prepared for this confrontation and is going to win the battle. Schumer might wise up when he see that Trump has defeated all his foes including the "mighty" intelligence community, although what he might do with this knowledge is uncertain. Schumer's party, his media, and his Deep State lie in ruins and Trump is ascendant like almost no President before him. The dems control infrastructure has been irrevocably destroyed. Their credibility has been broken and continues to fade. Their "philosophy" of governance is been shown to be insanity. Their competence is a senile joke. Like Biden, they are wandering around on the stage of governance and can't figure out how to get off. There is no viable path forward for Schumer or the dems. They can stomp their feet and make a mess but not lead or govern. They have neither the temperament or the mindset to succeed.

I keep hoping and praying that this will continue to happen the way Clarice lays it out. Draining the Swamp has been a long term goal, and was blocked so much last time. It's looking like Trump and his team, particularly the DOGE guys are really gutting the red tape machine which made any real reform almost impossible, and gave the bureaucrats essentially unlimited power.

An Arizona town competing for basic access to clean water has sunk more than 18 feet over the past eight decades — with no signs of stopping — as locals struggle to make headway against area megafarms reportedly sucking the land dry. Residents of Wenden, an unincorporated community roughly 60 miles east of the Colorado River Reservation, have had to pivot to digging thousands of feet underground just to reach groundwater. For many towns, this wouldn’t be an issue. But along the Colorado River, communities and companies are locked in battles over its water supply.

On Friday, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent appeared opposite NBC's Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press," and predictably, she pressed the SecTreas on the August jobs report. As is so often the case, Mr. Bessent just wasn't having it. The first topic to come up was the recent (mildly disappointing) August jobs report. Look, we're not going to do economic policy off of one number. We believe that good policies are in place that are going to create good high high-paying jobs for the American people.

President Donald Trump has reached his highest approval rating ever, according to a new Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll conducted between late August and early September. The poll shows a consistent upward trend for the President since early June, when it sat at 47 percent. Now, a significant number—55 percent—approve of the way Mr. Trump is performing, compared to 45 percent who disapprove. The President has never seen numbers like this previously. "This is the highest approval figure we have ever shown for Donald Trump," said JL Partners co-founder James Johnson in a statement to the Daily Mail. This record high reflects growing popularity in the President's anti-crime, anti-illegal immigration policies.

In his Breitbart op-ed, published Friday, Wilson described accompanying Ambassador Tom Barrack and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) on a recent trip to Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, where he said he witnessed historic opportunities for peace and stability following Assad’s ouster in December 2024. Wilson argued that the Caesar Act, enacted in 2019 to impose sanctions on Assad’s government, now hinders U.S. policy by discouraging long-term investment in Syria’s reconstruction. Speaking to Breitbart News, Wilson explained President Trump’s efforts had created “a real opportunity” to stabilize Syria and the Middle East. He compared Assad’s fall to the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989-

We've written before about the mainstream media's penchant for seeming to manufacture alleged "feuds" between various members of the Trump administration, citing unnamed sources who have suggested, among other things, feelings of resentment between cabinet officials and among senior advisors. One of the more notable ones, which we wrote about at the time, involved Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff, United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, and a longtime close friend of President Trump. A CNN hit piece from March claimed without evidence that Rubio was miffed because he allegedly thought he was being "overshadowed" by Witkoff.

Stephen King seems to have replaced his talent for weaving chilling tales with an unhealthy obsession with Donald Trump and his supporters. Instead of focusing on novels, King has turned himself into yet another left-wing pundit who just happens to have a long list of bestsellers on his résumé. And while his books used to inspire genuine fear, his political predictions are now nothing more than laughable, partisan nonsense. His latest declaration is so ridiculous, it proves just how consumed he’s become with Trump Derangement Syndrome. According to King, years from now, many Americans who voted for Donald Trump will deny ever having done so.

Late last week NBC ran a “news” story featuring a dozen disgruntled federal judges whose rulings against various Trump administration policies have been stayed or overturned by the Supreme Court. These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them. It’s blindingly obvious, however, that the real issue they are whining about is the Court’s refusal to countenance their usurpation of the President’s Article II powers and frustrate implementation of his agenda.
