‘Shut Down that Deep State’

Original Article

Entrepreneur and former 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy declared former President Donald Trump would “shut down the deep state” if elected back into the White House while speaking at a Trump campaign event in New Hampshire. Ramaswamy’s appearance at the Atkinson, New Hampshire, event Tuesday evening comes the day after he dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump following the 45th president’s record-breaking victory in the Iowa Caucuses Monday. In a video streamed to Rumble by Rightside Broadcasting, the 38-year-old Ramaswamy said, in his impassioned populist pitch on behalf of Trump, that the nation is in “a war” that is “between the permanent state and

Vivek gave a fantastic speech at the Trump event when he endorsed Trump for president. It had people in the audience yelling VP, VP, VP. You could see how impressed Trump was as he was standing in the background listening. You need to find it and watch it in it's entirety if you have not seen it.

The Swami does enjoy the limelight. He had many great things to say but the victory did after all, belong to Trump.

America was founded on the God breathed values and principles recorded in the Holy Bible - the inspired Word of God. America became great because of adherence to laws and ideals grounded in those biblical values and principles. America is in decline because her leadership and her people are moving farther and farther away from God and His precepts. Here we are in 2024 with some calling for a young man to become Vice President of US whose faith is in other gods (Hindu) than Jehovah God, who has warned His people to have no other gods before Him. I’m sure Vivek Ramaswamy is a fine young man in many respects. He might even be beneficial to the cause of American liberty. But, although he has said that he has read the Bible, he proudly holds to his Hindu beliefs and rejects the Word of Almighty God and the fact that Jesus Christ is THE Son of God. That is why I believe he should not be in a position to become POTUS. The following is an excerpt from an article entitled The Future of America: The “Glue” that Holds Us Together, by Dave Miller,Ph.D. I encourage you to read the entire article, and to read his other excellent research and writings on America’s Christian origins, founding fathers, her culture war, etc., at https://apologeticspress.org/the-glue-that-holds-us-together/ The Bible is clear: God allows nations to rise and its citizens to make their own decisions. A nation may be permitted to maintain its national existence for a period of time, nevertheless, He eventually calls them to account for their behavior. While individuals will be judged on the day of Judgment, nations are judged in time, in history. The proliferation of anti-Christian ideologies in America, including Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and atheism, are manifestations of a nation moving away from the God of the Bible and the one true religion of Christianity. God is watching and waiting. For the moment, He is silent (Psalm 50:21). But rest assured, He will act in His own good time. So, you see, while “freedom” and “liberty” are central to the essence of America and what it means to be American, freedom is not the overriding feature of American civilization that has given us our national identity. For even freedom itself arises from the existence of the God Who imparted to human beings unalienable rights that inherently entail freedom to exercise free will and make one’s own decisions before God. Every single one of these rights came from God—not government. God intends for governments to guarantee these God-given, divinely-originated features of human nature. Incredibly, those who were integral to the beginnings of America, who participated in the founding of the country, were familiar with this biblical principle and repeatedly articulated the principle in their organic utterances. They fully recognized that the critical principles of freedom they expounded are rooted in the “unalienable rights” that are inherent in the creation of human beings in the image of God (Genesis 1:26). Hence, they frequently intermingled their verbal pronouncements with allusions to the Christian principles that are indispensable to national survival. Indeed, while they opposed coercion pertaining to religious belief, they nevertheless viewed Christian morality and submission to Bible teaching as “the glue” which holds the Republic together.

The words "other gods" betray a profound misunderstanding of the nature and meaning of Hinduism. it is not a faith like Christianity but a way of life. It has no objection to people like #7 seeking salvation in a way shown by their ancestors. Monotheistic faiths insist that there in only one God. Hinduism teaches that there is ONLY God. Like Vivek, I am a practicing Hindu . Among all the 'gods' in the Mini shrine in my home is a picture of Jesus with the quotation from John 14:6. (I am the Way..). It doesn't anger the other 'gods' that are there.

No surprise that DeSantis is not dropping out! If Vivek gets the VP slot that would put him in the driver's seat for 8 more. See ya 12 years down the road Ron. And the Swami would be a VP that could get things done. Pres DJT can be a really tough boss, but only when you're not getting the job done. He is not intimidated by hiring good people and learns from his mistakes.Trusting CC to handle his transition is a good example of that. I don't see him as part of the future. Nikki is solidly on the wrong side of every Conservative issue and clearly the UniParty Elitist candidate. Fredo.

What a pandering statement from VR. Trump will not shut down the deep state; if VR believes so, then he is too ignorant to serve in a government leadership position. It would be nice if Trump can refrain from putting deep state operatives in his cabinet or in other key administration posts, like the military's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or as his VP.

An overwhelming majority of New Hampshire Republicans back former President Donald Trump in his assertion of absolute immunity from prosecution of presidents for their actions while in office. The result, in a new Marist poll, comes as Trump has assembled a 14-point polling lead in New Hampshire, according to the RealClearPolitics average, and indicates voters are embracing at least some of his courtroom claims while fending off four criminal cases. Voters were asked 'Do you think Donald Trump should have immunity from criminal prosecution for actions he took while he was president?.

Denver estimates more than 36,000 illegal immigrants, most of whom are Venezuelan, have arrived in the city since December 2022. Roughly half of those migrants have decided to put down roots in the city. The influx created a $2 million loss for the hospital system last year, following a $35 million loss
