How Far Will the Deep State Go?
Posted By: Mercedes44, 7/28/2025 4:59:35 PM
Once upon a time, there was a rock-ribbed conservative U.S. senator who tried mightily to get an über-conservative law passed but was met with great resistance by his liberal colleagues. This went on not for months, but for almost two years. But he was so persistent and determined that those same resistant colleagues — and their lapdogs in the left-wing media — started to call him “bulldog” — even, at times, Senator Bulldog! Then, one beautiful spring day, he was both astounded and delighted to learn that he had enough votes to pass his proposed law. The vote was to be taken shortly after the Senate came back from lunch.

“Deflection,” “Distraction” and “Dishonest” are just some of the accusations leveled at President Trump recently for saying he’d like to look into past Democrat conspiracies against him.
The President’s critics have claimed that he is simply trying to push attention away from the Jeffrey Epstein story.
Even some of the President’s defenders have sighed that surely he should focus on moving forward and not get distracted by these past problems.
But putting aside for a moment the fact that President Trump has shown himself able to do more than one thing at a time, he is right to bring up the Russian collusion hoax and more.
The party of El Salvador President Nayib Bukele approved constitutional changes in the country’s Legislative Assembly on Thursday that will allow indefinite presidential reelection and extend presidential terms to six years.
Lawmaker Ana Figueroa from the New Ideas party had proposed the changes to five articles of the constitution. The proposal also included eliminating the second round of the election where the two top vote-getters from the first round face off.
New Ideas and its allies in the Legislative Assembly quickly approved the proposals with the supermajority they hold. The vote passed with 57 in favor and three opposed.
A high-stakes deal that would give an American company a major role in running dozens of strategically crucial global ports is now in limbo — as China aggressively demands a stake.
The United States cannot let that happen.
US asset manager BlackRock and its partners are vying for 43 of the world’s most important shipping ports, including the two that straddle the Panama Canal.
The seller is C.K. Hutchison, a major Hong Kong operator that is one of China’s “big three” port giants — and the only one not owned outright by the Chinese government.
Prying these ports from China’s oversight is a critical move for both US national security and the global economy.
Emily Damari was shot in the hand by Hamas and kidnapped from her home in Kfar Aza in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The monsters also shot and killed her 11-year-old dog in front of her. The bullet that killed the dog also struck her leg. When she was released earlier this year, she returned with a bandaged hand and missing fingers, and only she and God know what kind of mental and emotional damage. Damari, who has dual British and Israeli citizenship, has been pretty outspoken about her ordeal, and she has tirelessly advocated for those who remain in captivity.
The Gross Domestic Product number is in.
The numbers are great, and as we seem to keep finding with President Donald Trump's economy, they're better than what was predicted. The second-quarter first read GDP is at three percent. The White House said it "shatters expectations."
President Donald Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt both trumpeted the news and called on the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to lower rates.
Trump called on Powell to let people buy and refinance their homes.
Leavitt said:
Once upon a time in America, taxpayers were scandalized to learn the Pentagon paid $400 for a toilet seat. It was front-page news. Congressional hearings were convened. Outrage flowed like prune juice at the Biden White House breakfast buffet.
Fast forward to 2025, and no one bats an eye over spending more than that for just a toilet.
In fact, the federal government under the Biden administration set aside a whopping $7.5 billion in cold, hard, debased American currency—and to date, we’ve got a grand total of 384 E.V. chargers to show for it.
And here’s the twist: hardly anyone is shocked.
Iran’s regime preparing for Plan B?
2 replies
After the recent Israeli war against the Iranian regime and the American attack on the Fordo nuclear site, the mullahs in Tehran are feeling the heat. This is the most fragile the regime has been over the past 46 years, and talk of regime change is spreading. For the past year and a half, some in the regime have been preparing for a plan B, in case they need to flee urgently. While that does not mean that the regime is about to fall, it is still a valid indicator of the nervousness of the leadership.
After Hamas, one of Iran’s proxies, attacked Israel by surprise on October 7, 2023,
The Senate has confirmed President Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Emil Bove to a lifetime appointment as a federal appellate judge for the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals.
The 50-49 Senate vote was largely along party lines with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voting against Bove’s confirmation to the federal bench. Bove’s nomination was strongly contested by Democrats who brought forth three Justice Department whistleblowers who alleged that he recommended that the Trump administration ignore court order attempting to disrupt the president’s immigration agenda.
Mamdani’s cop-hating agenda speaks louder

than his hollow words after horrific NYC shooting 6 replies
Sensible New Yorkers didn’t need yet another reason to vote against Zohran Mamdani for mayor, but Monday’s horrific Midtown slaughter provided a clear illustration of why the radical Democrat must not win the keys to City Hall.
Mamdani is in Uganda celebrating his wedding, but his initial statement on X about the bloodbath on Park Avenue rings hollow given his past smears of the NYPD and repeated calls to “defund the police.”
“I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in midtown and I am holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts,” Mamdani posted on X late Monday.
Voter fraud is suspected in the recent NYC primary, after it was discovered that dead people allegedly cast ballots.
It was reported last week that two dead voters had somehow cast absentee ballots submitted under their names in June's still-contested Republican primary between two South Brooklyn City Council candidates, according to The New York Post.The New York City Council District 47 race between Brooklyn Republican Chairman Richie Barsamian and George Sarantopoulos is extremely close, with Sarantopoulos leading by 16 votes as of July 28.
Both campaigns have called for investigations amid reports of ballot irregularities.
When it comes to their views and policies concerning so-called climate change, President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama stand far apart.Trump is a climate realist who understands that conventional power sources like coal and natural gas are pivotal to America’s grid stability and will play a big role in the forthcoming AI arms race.
Obama, on the other hand, is a staunch climate alarmist who derides conventional power sources and favors “green” energy.
During his two terms, Obama enacted several policies that subsidized uncompetitive, unneeded, and unwanted green energy while placing onerous regulations on fossil fuels.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced Tuesday that the EPA would propose rescinding the 2009 so-called "Endangerment" finding by the Obama administration. This finding underpins every "climate change" and most automobile regulations issued since 2009 and, if successful, would effectively eradicate "climate change" regulation as a federal policy consideration. Using a visit to a truck dealership in Indianapolis with Governor Mike Braun as a backdrop, EPA Administrator Zeldin announced EPA's anticipated attempt to unravel the fragile underpinning for such things as EPA's electric vehicle mandate and the war on efficient air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, and small gasoline tools like lawnmowers and leaf blowers.

The leftist mob is now melting down over Dunkin’s latest “genetics” ad — just days after Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign was slammed as so-called Nazi propaganda. The donut company is the latest to find itself in the liberal firing line after dropping its new commercial featuring “The Summer I Turned Pretty” star Gavin Casalegno earlier this week. The 30-second clip, which was posted on the chain’s social media accounts, shows the heartthrob gushing that his tan is down to genetics.
WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton approved a plan hatched by a top campaign adviser to “smear” then-candidate Donald Trump with false claims of Russian collusion and distract from her own mounting email scandal during the 2016 campaign, according to explosive intelligence files declassified Thursday. The intelligence came from two memos obtained by the Obama administration in the lead-up to the Clinton-Trump contest and laid out “confidential conversations” between members of the Democratic National Committee and liberal billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
In recent weeks, a scandal of epic proportions has come to light, confirming that the Obama administration rigged intelligence to concoct the Russia collusion narrative against Donald Trump, and the conspiracy went all the way to the top: Barack Obama himself.
This is no longer hearsay, thanks to two explosive document releases from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. (Snip) But speaking the truth in a rigged game is a recipe for punishment. When the analyst tried to report his concerns, he was promptly silenced by Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), then the Democratic chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
Nancy Pelosi appeared rattled and visibly annoyed during a CNN interview this week when anchor Jake Tapper confronted her with Donald Trump’s accusations of insider trading. The former House speaker had joined the program to discuss the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, but things quickly went off-script when Tapper tried to bring up Trump’s pointed remarks.
Tapper began to quote Trump, saying, “Nancy Pelosi became rich—” before Pelosi abruptly cut him off. “Why—why do you have to read that?” she snapped, clearly not happy with where the discussion was going.
Tapper attempted to defuse the tension, saying he just wanted
Biden warns of ‘dark days’ under Trump

CHICAGO — Former President Joe Biden expressed alarm Thursday about attacks on the rule of law and threats to civil rights under President Donald Trump in some of his most pointed criticism about the new administration since leaving office. Biden, speaking to the National Bar Association in Chicago, did not mention Trump by name but his intended target was clear during remarks that only ran about 20 minutes. “You can’t sugarcoat it. These are dark days,” Biden told the crowd of nearly 1,100 members of the predominantly Black legal organization. The remarks echoed, at least in tone, some of his
An Islamic center in Minnesota penned a gushing letter of support for a Somalian migrant convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl. Qalinle Ibrahim Dirie, 42, was convicted in May of first-degree criminal sexual conduct after he was found guilty of abducting the girl from her backyard and raping her in June 2024. Following his conviction, Dirie's local Islamic center, Al-Ihsan Islamic Center in St. Paul, submitted a heartfelt letter begging Hennepin County District Court Judge Michael Burns to consider the convicted criminal's 'character' before delivering a sentence, Alpha News reported.
For 150 years, Presidents, Administrations, and White House Staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed. President Donald J. Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future Administrations and the American people.
The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders and other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building entrance.
Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to talk about illegal immigration, but specifically about the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum.
She’s been very vocal about U.S. policy toward Mexico. For example, she said she would offer legal counsel to her citizens that were here illegally that were picked up, she thought, unfairly or too violently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.She also said that the United States had no business taxing remittances—that is money that Mexican nationals here, for the most part illegally, send back to Mexico.
She said, “Do not come into Mexican national ground if you’re going after the cartels.”
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has privately discussed the idea of running for political office next year in Tennessee, according to two people who have spoken directly with him about it.
If Hegseth were to follow through on the discussions, it would amount to a major leadership shake-up at the department that oversees the American military and millions of federal employees. The Defense Department bars civilian employees from running for political office, meaning Hegseth would have to resign to do so.
In a statement, Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said, “Hegseth’s focus remains solely on serving under President Trump.”
Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Weeknight” that President Donald Trump’s tariffs would cause “double-digit” price increases.
Coons said, “He made a lot of promises in his campaign. He promised not to cut Medicaid, but he has. They’ve passed the so-called Big Beautiful Bill that cut Medicaid. He promised he was going to lower prices, but he hasn’t. He’s going to impose tariffs tonight, that will raise them.”
Host Michael Steele said, “Senator, we have less than a minute left, but I do want you to pick up on one thing you noted there about tomorrow, August 1st, tariff day, your thoughts?”

On Thursday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) argued that redistricting by Democrats that was favorable to them in states like Illinois, Oregon, and New Mexico is different from what Republicans are doing with redistricting in Texas because “there [are] criteria that goes into how the lines are to be drawn. You can’t do it in a discriminatory fashion.” And stated “folks are watching for” if Republicans will follow voting rights protections.
Co-host A Martínez asked, [relevant exchange begins around 2:10] “But Democrats had redistricting efforts in the past, Illinois, Oregon, New Mexico, in recent years, to their advantage. Why is this any different?”

"You wrote a book? You couldn't make it through a speech without the teleprompter, but you want people to believe you wrote a book?"
Those are the words of Trump impersonator extraordinaire Shawn Farash in response to former vice president and miserably failed 2024 Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who announced on Wednesday the upcoming release of her "behind-the-scenes look" at arguably the most disastrous presidential campaign in modern American history.
