Nearing the Final Battle Against the Deep State

Original Article

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.

United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain said Sunday that President Trump’s looming 25% tariff on foreign-made cars could swiftly boost American manufacturing jobs. Fain, a prominent anti-Trump campaigner ahead of last year’s election, said that the levies could benefit workers and used remarkably similar language as the White House on how carmakers could onshore jobs. “We have excess capacity” at manufacturing plants, Fain said, using near identical framing as the White House. “They could bring work back in very short order.” “Tariffs are a tool in the toolbox to get these companies to do the right thing, and the intent behind it is to bring jobs back here, and, you know,

Mayoral hopeful Brad Lander urged the former Biden administration to yank up to $4 billion in US funding to Israel if certain conditions weren’t met — peddling the threat seven months before the Oct. 7 massacre. Lander said that if the Jewish state failed to honor human rights or kept building settlements in Palestinian territories, the Democratic White House should pull the aid. “Biden and [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken need to recognize that times have changed. The Democratic Party cannot continue toeing the AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee] line,” said Lander, the city comptroller, in a column he penned for the Israeli publication Haaretz on March 2, 2023.

A bombshell report from a clean energy group admitted that shifting to solar and wind may mean chaos for New York’s power grid as the state’s green energy law creates hurdles for cost and reliability. The report from the New York Affordable Clean Power Alliance, which represents solar and wind energy firms, noted that the state’s timetable to phase out energy generated by fossil fuel is unrealistic — and even dangerous. “The New York City area is forecasted to experience a generation shortfall starting in 2033, driven by an increase in peak demand and the planned retirement of existing dispatchable generation,” the report said.

This is one of the examples of narrative engineering that is simply infuriating. NBC has driven dozens of articles, pundit claims and discussion segments from their “transcription” of a recorded phone interview with President Trump. However, no actual audio of the interview is presented. President Trump weaves through interviews in his answers, providing context, tone, inflection and detail for each point of a conversation he is answering. It is the context that surrounds the “quote” that becomes important when understanding what the president says.

Exactly one week ago, I wrote in these pages about the release of American George Glezmann from imprisonment by the Taliban in Afghanistan. Readers might recall his gobsmacked reaction on the airport tarmac, when he was asked to comment on the situation, then his boundless gratitude to President Trump and everyone involved in getting him home after two years poured out. It's worth watching again. I also suggested near the end of the story that "considering the track record over just a few short months, this likely won't be the last U.S. hostage who Team Trump brings home." But I didn't dare dream that would happen again so soon.

Maybe the third time will be the charm. Columbia University obviously subscribes to the belief that Friday night is the best time to put out bad news. How else to explain the fact that, at 8 p.m. Friday, it announced that its interim president had quit? If members of the Board of Trustees hoped nobody would notice, they’re more delusional than advertised. The resignation of Dr. Katrina Armstrong is yet another bombshell development in the Trump administration’s crackdown on universities violating the civil rights of Jewish students, with Columbia a serial offender and top test case.

Lost amid a flash flood of recent news, President Donald Trump’s executive order to make American elections more fair and less likely to be corrupted by ideology-driven election officials is possibly a game-changer. If Trump’s order withstands the inevitable onslaught of legal and political challenges it will face, it will make a huge difference in future elections. The ink had barely dried on Trump’s reform than the New York Times, setting the tone for the national media, ran this headline: “Trump Is Trying to Gain More Power Over Elections. Is His Effort Legal?” So what does Trump’s order, dubbed “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” actually do?

secret trick to getting companies to drop DEI

Posted by 4250Luis 3/29/2025 6:01:01 PM Post Reply
President Donald Trump ended federal DEI programs. The problem is that DEI programs were captured by activists who obsess about victimhood. They divide people more than they empower. “Diversity, equity and inclusion,” says activist Robby Starbuck, “don’t mean what they pretend to mean.” Before Trump ended federal DEI programs by executive order, Starbuck ended them at some companies merely by using the power of speech. Even before, companies were having second thoughts. Victoria’s Secret changed “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” to “inclusion and belonging.”Now, even woke Disney, despite squandering 270 million shareholder dollars on a moronic new version of “Snow White,” joined the mob of companies dropping DEI programs.

According to a report in the French newspaper of record, Le Figaro, the U.S. embassy in Paris informed several companies in France that it would be ending business relationships with firms that engage in discrimination.

It’s not entirely clear if he was real or fictional. Most historians believe he was probably real, but it’s tricky to verify: The legend of Lucius Cincinnatus was (enthusiastically) retold in Titus “Livy” Livius’ book, the “History of Rome,” which was written a few decades before Christ. Unquestionably, Livius’ book included real, verifiable, historic events, but it also included the mythology of the Trojan War and tales of magical twins suckled by a she-wolf. But the legend of Lucius Cincinnatus still endures. He’s even the namesake of an American city in southwest Ohio. And his story continues to influence kings, queens, emperors, and (yes) even U.S. presidents.
