The Machinery of Government is Coated

The juxtaposition of the Department of Justice’s handling of Hunter Biden with its outrageous treatment of Donald J. Trump justifies Scott Adams's view: "We can now see all of the machinery of government, from influence peddling to fake news to intel-supported hoaxes to political persecutions.” Diving even deeper, as have Jonathan Turley, James Freeman, Dan Bongino, and David Samuels, it’s beginning to look as if Barack Obama knew of Hunter’s corruption and the danger it posed to national security and did nothing about it. In exchange, he’s serving a third term as president behind the scrim while the demented present officeholder serves as a front.

Guess again babe,the government as now constituted, is gunk. WE let this happen every time WE abdicated our responsibilities to govern OURSELVES. No one needs the government to tell us the how to brush our teeth or change a diaper and yet we have entire government agencies to do exactly that. When WE take responsibility for our lives and actions,government dependency can be made to recede and We might become a self governing people again...

The ongoing failure of the Federal and State governments are just a symptom of the problem. There are tectonic forces at work, "principalities and powers" the Bible calls them, worldwide. It is going to come to a head, soon I believe.

There are a few articles on Lucianne that have my mind swirling because I am trying to sort out all of the information that is provided. It has prompted me to review the three branches of government. It is there that I am able to combine all of my swirling thoughts. In searching the three branches, USA.Gov states, :The Constitution of the United States divides the federal government into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. This ensures that no individual or group will have too much power. The ability of each branch to respond to the actions of the other branches is the system of checks and balances." Government is an entity that works for the American people. It would seem that all three branches have lost their way and it has become unprofessional and ugly. It also seems that government has become a venue for people's PERSONAL causes or ventures and is susceptible to corruption. From my view, it has become one big country club and the American people are not allowed to have membership.

The Constitution worked for two centuries because the People were worthy of it. If the People are not worthy the Constitution will not save you. It will give you a shoulder to cry on. But that’s it.

Of course 0bama was in on his VP’s corruption. And we have video proof. When the Ukrainian officials questioned Biden’s authority to withhold the billion dollars in loan guarantees unless the Burisma prosecutor was fired, he told them to call 0bama. If Joe is The Big Guy, then I wonder who the Bigger Guy is and what percentage he got.

Clarice serves us another full breakfast buffet. I tasted some of it all, but am now trying to digest that Obama is serving his third term. BHO as the puppet-master? Well, I suppose Mr. Mom Jeans can't hang curtains forever; he must stop and launder them from time to time. We used to be ''We the people.'' The change was subtle, but it became, ''They the people.'' I'll put their TDS aside for now while I go strengthen my soul with a dose of anti-venom then come home and finish the article.

Hussein as puppet master is quite a stretch imo. He's a low watt bulb and just a figurehead for the real puppet master(s) within the deep state. Who was it who said, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." Oh! That's right.

#9 Who is Obama's Puppet Master? Mr. George Soros, himself. The Communist. And his fellow travelers. And before that in Hawaii, Frank Marshall Davis, Obama's Mentor, the Communist. Communism's goal is to create a classless society in which the major means of production are owned and controlled by the public. There is no government or private property or currency, and the wealth is divided among citizens equally or according to individual need. This is what these Communists say, but not what they do. They seize control and they decide who owns property and who owns wealth. It's all built upon a lie and this is what is taught in our Colleges and our Universities to young, brains full of mush as Rush Limbaugh would say. This is why in a recent poll, college age kids have no love or respect for our nation. They have been brainwashed. We here at Lucianne.com know this, but we need to inform our kids and grandkids how and why the Communists have infiltrated our country and taught them these lies and what these lies have done to our nation. Our generation has the duty to pass on the knowledge of patriotism and the evils of Communism to the next/following generation. We cannot wait for the government schools to do it. Churches used to teach patriotism, but sadly many don't today. That is one of the reasons why we love President Trump. He is patriotic! He loves our country and hates Communism. Remember the photo of him hugging our American flag? That says it all.

An attorney for former President Trump spent Sunday fiercely defending his client in a series of TV interviews that aimed to reset the narrative in the case related to Trump’s efforts to cling to power after losing the 2020 presidential election. John Lauro, one of two attorneys who were alongside Trump last week during his arraignment, appeared on all five major Sunday morning political TV shows, collectively known as a “full Ginsburg” — albeit a modern-day one since he was not in the studio for all five — where he continued to mold his legal defense of the former president.

Nearly two years ago, Virginia Republicans stunned the D.C. pundit class after mounting an electoral upset in the increasingly blue commonwealth. By capitalizing on issues like Covid lockdown policies and parental rights, the state GOP not only took control of the House of Delegates; it also swept in races for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general. Now, with the state rapidly approaching its upcoming General Assembly elections, the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) is seeking to embrace a Democrat-favored election strategy in order to turn the state completely red this November.

Barack Obama quietly huddled with Joe Biden at the White House on June 27 to discuss a strategy to defeat Trump in 2024. Obama privately warned Joe Biden about Trump’s massive popularity and promised he would do everything possible to help Biden get reelected, according to the Washington Post. Shortly after the Obama-Biden White House huddle, Trump was indicted again by the federal government. Joe Biden doesn’t have a real strategy to win in 2024. Biden doesn’t have a record to run on because inflation is still high, gas prices are still high and the majority of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track.

It was a rough month for FOX News. For anyone who’s been paying any attention to what a post-Tucker Carlson landscape would look like at Fox News, two things are pretty apparent: That landscape is pretty barren. The suddenly-beleaguered news network has lost so many viewers, its stock was downgraded. Fox News is trying anything — or perhaps flailing about — in response to hemorrhaging viewers, including some shakeups to its primetime lineup. Following all of the recent turmoil FOX News has lost the trust of American conservatives. Only one-third of self-described conservatives trust FOX News the most. They may never gain back those former viewers. And it doesn’t appear to be a priority.

Of all the outrages in Biden special counsel Jack Smith’s latest indictment of Donald Trump — and there are many — the worst comes at the end of the 45-page screed’s Count One, the section titled “The Defendant’s Exploitation of the Violence and Chaos at the Capitol.” This is where Smith waves the bloody shirt. Smith intends to try Trump for the Capitol riot even though he hasn’t charged Trump for the Capitol riot. No rioting charge. No allegation of criminal incitement. No seditious conspiracy, no insurrection, no crime of violence of any kind. To levy such an allegation would have been untenable. Smith’s indictment hides the ball, as did the like-minded.

On Sunday night, the New York Post reported on anticipated testimony from Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Devon Archer.

The tragic drowning death of former White House sous chef and the Obama family’s personal chef Tafari Campbell over the weekend is sadly similar to the premature demise of another White House kitchen veteran. Campbell’s death comes just eight years after Walter Scheib, who served as the White House Executive Chef from 1994 to 2005, was found partially submerged in a ravine in the New Mexico mountains on June 21, 2015. The 61-year-old Scheib was first reported missing by his girlfriend on June 14, one day after he failed to return from a hike near Taos Ski Valley. Scheib died from drowning, an autopsy later revealed.

"It is a matter of public interest, Mr. Vice President, if this case comes to trial, would you be a witness against the president?" Brennan asked. "You know, I didn't want anything to do with the January 6 committee. That was a partisan committee on Capitol Hill," Pence responded.

The story about the chef’s death changed more often than the days of the week. The Obamas weren’t there, then they were. The daughters may or may not have been there. In previous versions, Tafari was paddleboarding alone, while someone else was also in the area. That person tried to assist Tafari, unsuccessfully, when he fell off his board
