Firing the Deep State

photog Current Events, Trump , , , ,

After reading about the color revolution in the Ukraine back in 2014 I am now convinced that unless a United States president puts a maximal effort into defanging the intelligence agencies and the Justice Department, we will never get our country back.  These federal agencies have unfettered power to pretty much do whatever they want around the world and in the United States.  Reading the techniques used in the Ukraine; the street riots, the use of martyrs; I can see the George Floyd riots for exactly what they were.  2020 was our color revolution.  BLM and Antifa were the shock troops that goaded on the violence and chaos.  George Floyd was the martyr to the cause of social justice.  And the Justice Department and the FBI made sure no one interfered.  The flip side of this was January 6th.  Here was the FBI entrapping normal people who thought the BLM “protestors” proved that protesting and occupying government buildings was legitimate.

We now live in a country run by the Deep State.  And if they don’t approve of a president then they ignore his orders and cancel him out with phony investigations and worse.  In order to eliminate the Deep State a president will need to have the cooperation of the Congress and the Supreme Court.  He will have to have signed legislation that authorizes him to dismiss any bureaucrat that he deems stands in defiance of the presidency and he’ll need the Supreme Court to over rule the inevitable lower court rulings and injunctions when the president attempts to use this legislation to drain the swamp.  The real test of all this will be if the FBI and the NSA attempts to defy authority and refuse to vacate the premises.  At that point it would be necessary to call in the military to force obedience.

And then the question has to be asked, is this even possible?  The bureaucrats have successfully stiff armed one president who intended to run things his own way.  They wasted half his term in office with phony investigations and completely ignored most of his orders to change their behavior.  Would a more government savvy man with a cadre of seasoned managers be able to push back and effectively clean house in these powerful government satrapies.  Could Donald Trump succeed where he previously failed?  Could Ron DeSantis, do it?  Could anyone?

I admit that I just don’t know.  But I will say that if it isn’t attempted then any hope of restoring republican government to this country is doomed to failure.  Leaving the people in charge who allowed the BLM riots and set up the January 6th victims for prosecution is tantamount to admitting that equal protection under the law is a laughable absurdity.  Allowing those who set up the Russia-gate fraud to escape serious prosecution proves that President of the United States is not running the US federal government.  It’s run by a cabal of bureaucrats who run the FBI, the Justice Department, the CIA, the NSA, the DHS and the rest of the alphabet agencies that spy on us and make sure we can’t interfere with how they run their global empire.

I would like to believe that we can win back this country.  But as I’ve repeatedly said before, it’s going to take an incredibly smart and a remarkably brave man to do it.  Let’s hope God provides a man like that for us.

DeSantis Addresses the Waukesha Attack

photog Current Events , ,

In the middle of a news conference on law enforcement and the latest COVID nonsense (at about the 5 minute mark) Governor DeSantis takes the national news agencies to task for pretending that the Waukesha attack was some kind of accident.  He’s the first government official who clearly states that the driver was probably committing the attack out of anti-white hatred.  That’s actually a very bold position.  It’s also very honest and will resonate with people who sense that the networks are trying to control the facts about the case.  And as DeSantis states the networks tailor their facts to suit their bias when it comes to who is attacking whom.

DeSantis is a powerful force in our country right now.  I hope he has a chance to help the rest of the country in addition to Florida.

DeSantis Gives a Speech Outlining His Program to Defend His Citizens

photog Current Events , ,

On October 23, 2021 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gave a speech to the Claremont Institute.  He outlines the various programs and actions he has taken to prevent the federal government from overstepping its constitutional powers.  He talks about the COVID excesses, sanctuary cities, transgender bullying, social media discrimination, BLM and Antifa rioting, critical race theory, election fraud and how his government has responded to these issues.  Then he goes through the general conditions in the country and what needs to be done to rectify the problems.

Ron DeSantis is probably the leading figure in the United States fighting back against the leftist agenda that is being fostered by the Biden administration and all the public and private institutions that have allied themselves with it.  It’s a very long article but I thought it gives an idea of how many different factors he has addressed in his governing policy in Florida.  I believe Ron DeSantis will be running for president in three years.  And he is making a very strong case for why he should be elected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Letting Go of Comforting Pessimism

photog Current Events , , ,

Over the last five years it’s been necessary to recognize just how dysfunctional American politics had become.  Adding together the power and corruption of the Deep State and the cowardly and backstabbing nature of the Republicans with the ubiquitous nature of the Left’s control of almost all of the levers of power in civil society it is almost impossible to overestimate how hopeless the Right’s plight seems to be.  I mean, look at what the FBI did to the duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump.  And after what the 2020 election tells us about the ability of the Democrats to nullify their opponents’ electoral advantage by simply fabricating votes through fraud, it’s amazing we haven’t all just thrown in the towel and given up on this country.

But unfortunately, there is hope.  And hope is painful and exhausting because it comes with inevitable disappointment.  If you take three steps forward there will be two steps back.  Out of every hundred “leaders” maybe three or four will be for real.  The rest are grifters, nuts and just plain RINO’s.  What passes for pro-Trump Republicans is a motley crew that includes politicians who have put on a disguise of being on our side.  And that becomes clear when they get a chance to vote with Democrats on obvious partisan issues like the infrastructure bill.  Looking at Republicans like Mitt Romney or Liz Cheney should be enough to extinguish any last embers of hope that are still remaining on the Right.

But I’ve come to the scary conclusion over the last few months that someone like Ron DeSantis might just be able to rally enough people around him to take some ground back from the Biden Administration and his Deep State stormtroopers.  It’s definitely not certain or even highly likely but it is possible.  And if it is, I’d be a coward if I didn’t at least allow myself to follow the story and even help the effort if it comes to it.  I just read the other day that Republican voter registration in Florida exceeded Democrat registration for the first time in history.  And then we have the elections in Virginia.  And the Federal Courts have put a temporary injunction on the OSHA vaccine mandate for larger companies.  And Biden’s poll numbers have plunged.   And, and, and.  Let’s face it horrible, horrible optimism is creeping into the political scene against my will.

So, I will not pretend that nothing has improved since that horrendous day last November when the fake Biden win was engineered against us.  The blowback from so many bad policies and incompetent leadership is becoming a storm.  Whether it turns into a hurricane that blows away Dementia Joe’s regime remains to be seen.  But just ignoring all this is a mistake I don’t intend to make.

And I won’t suddenly become some kind of Pollyanna pundit.  I’ll call them as I see them.  You won’t hear me seeing allies in every leftist who complains about woke persecution.  That’s just friendly fire on their side.  I won’t start warning against primarying RINO’s.  RINO’s not only deserve to be knocked out of their offices but doing so is therapeutic.  Even if it means we lose a seat to the Dems.  Punishing traitors is good for the movement and good for morale.  I will pay attention to the real results positive and negative.

But doggone it, I’m not going to be allowed to wallow in my delightful misery.  I’ve got to start caring about things again.  Well, here we go.

DeSantis Will Push for a Florida Agency to Police Election Fraud

photog Current Events , ,

It’s like he’s reading my mind.  Which I guess just means he’s doing his job.  This is right on the money.  Don’t wait for the fraud to cost you an election.  Arrest the perpetrators in the act and prevent the problem.  Imagine if Pennsyvania had had a law like this when those bozos covered up the windows and excluded the poll watchers.  The cops could have dragged them away to jail instead of allowing them to steal an election.

Why the hell aren’t the rest of the Republican governors copying this stuff?  We need forty nine other guys just like him.

Ron DeSantis Keeps Taking the Right Actions to Protect His People From Biden

I’m starting to feel like a broken record praising this guy but he’s not taking no for an answer in pushing for a shield against Floridians losing their jobs over refusing the vaccine.  Here he is calling the Florida legislature into special session to enact laws to prevent mandates from taking away the jobs of those who refuse to be vaccinated.

At this rate I expect him to issue a warrant to have Dementia Joe hauled down to Florida and prosecuted for mopery and dopery and eventually forced to pick up trash on roadsides with that stick with the spike at the end in an orange jump suit.

Well, anyway, it’s good to see there’s at least one politician who isn’t going to just sit there and let Washington treat us like slaves without at least putting up a fight.

DeSantis Begins His Re-Election Bid

photog Current Events , , ,

DeSantis is the one bright light in the current debacle that is American politics.  He’s smart and articulate.  He isn’t mealy-mouthed and he has shown initiative and the willingness to act proactively instead waiting for his opponents to attack him unchallenged.

His court challenges to the Biden crime family’s unconstitutional executive actions have been by and large successful and the legislation that he has spear-headed in the Florida legislature have been bold and practical.  Granted not all of it will work and the feds have enormous power to make trouble for him but he’s shown that acting on a positive agenda can be the best way to combat the attacks of the Left.

In three years I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump anoints him his successor for the 2024 election.  His youth and energy make him a natural to attract support from all corners of the non-insane portion of the citizenry.  After four years of the Biden mess even some of the insane may see him as the more attractive path.  After all even the insane have to eat.

I wish Ron DeSantis all the good fortune he can get.  And I hope in a few years he’ll be running all fifty states and not just Florida.

Hat Tip to the Conservative Treehouse – DeSantis Fighting Back Against Biden Immigrant Dumping

photog Current Events , , , ,

This guy DeSantis is really stepping up his game.  He’s going after the feds who are transporting illegals from the Mexican border and dumping them in Florida.  He’s going to criminalize what they are doing and confiscate the vehicles they are using.  And he’s suing the Feds over the dumping which is being called illegal human trafficking.  Here’s the Conservative Treehouse link.  I think DeSantis is serious about fighting back against the Feds.  In my estimation this is huge.  I wonder if he has found some allies even in the Courts to help him make this stick.

I hate to have too much hope but I have to say I’m starting to feel optimistic.  If he wins this fight he is starting to look a very important national figure.  If this works hopefully the other red states will copy this and use it to stem the tide of illegals.

 

 

 

DeSantis Shows Some Brains and Guts

photog Current Events , , , , , ,

When the Broward County school system voted to mandate masks in the schools, Florida Governor DeSantis let them know that their funding would be cut in accordance with the recent law outlawing mask mandates in the schools.  And the schools backed down.  Finally someone with guts willing to stand up to Fauci and the other nitwits in the COVID conspiracy.  Let the parents who want their six-year-olds to wear masks do so.  Let normal people live normally.

Now that’s Republican leadership.  Let the rest of the Red State governors take notes.
