Nearing the Final Battle Against the Deep State

Original Article

Posted By: 4250Luis, 3/30/2025 4:42:06 AM

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.

President Trump warned Iran that it would face the US military “at levels never seen before” if it attacked America’s forces or land in a scathing message to the Islamic regime. Trump said early Sunday the US was not involved in Israel’s overnight attack on its Middle East foe as the two countries continue to exchange aerial assaults on each other. “The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.
BOOM! Elise Stefanik May Have Ended Kathy
Hochul’s Career

In what I can only describe as a masterclass in political demolition, Rep. Elise Stefanik delivered a withering takedown of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul during a House committee hearing on sanctuary state policies. The exchange was so brutal and methodical that it may have effectively ended Hochul's political career before it even had a chance to flourish. Stefanik, who is reportedly considering a gubernatorial run herself, came armed with facts while Hochul appeared woefully unprepared to defend her own policies. From the opening moments, this wouldn't be a typical political theater exchange — this was a prosecutor methodically building her case against a defendant who had no viable defense.

Justice is coming to the Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi as prosecutors involved in the Biden administration’s lawfare against Donald Trump and his supporters are gradually rooted out. The latest is Ahmed Baset, one of the DOJ team who dusted off an old Civil War era charge of “seditious conspiracy” against members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to align with the fake Dem narrative that Trump was an insurrectionist. He also teamed up with Jack Smith on the Get-Trump Special Counsel investigation, which they hoped would land Trump in jail.

Israel has reportedly bombed the capital of Iran in a preemptive strike against the Islamic regime that has vowed to wipe Israel off the map. The Israeli Air Force launched its attack late Thursday on Iran’s nuclear program, according to The Times of Israel. “Home Front Command spokesman says Israel could experience ‘heavy missile attack’ in coming hours, but no fire from Iran as yet and no need to go to bomb shelter," the outlet noted, adding that Israel has closed its airspace.

Israel launched air strikes inside Iran late Thursday, the latest effort by the Jewish state to destroy Tehran’s nuclear program. The targets of the operation, the extent of the damage, and any casualties were not immediately clear. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the attack, saying in a statement: “Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future.” At the White House earlier Thursday, President Trump said an Israeli airstrike “looks like it’s something that could very well happen” — but stopped short of saying an operation was “imminent.”

Newsom Blames Trump for L.A. Insurrection 12 replies

Don't blame Gavin Newsom for the violent L.A. ICE "protests." He's only the governor of California presiding over the chaos he helped cause by running a proudly "sanctuary state"--forcing taxpayers to pay for all manner of support for illegal aliens—while presiding over open air drug use, "homelessness," and "insurrection." He's supported and endorsed the people running these protests (see my story nearby). Newsom would like you to believe, however, that it's President Donald Trump's fault that these bullhorn-spewing, pre-produced-sign-waving "protesters" have become violent. Indeed, these agents provocateur hope that the rabble take the bait and cause more pain. That’s Trump’s fault, naturally.

ABC News’ senior national correspondent Terry Moran has been suspended after going on a late-night screed against top White House adviser Stephen Miller along with President Trump on social media — drawing scathing backlash from the Trump administration. Moran, who landed an interview with the president in April, blasted Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, as a man “richly endowed with the capacity for hatred.” “The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller,”

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Sunday. "Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we're not even talking about going after the political leadership," said one of the sources, a senior U.S. administration official. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said top U.S. officials have been in constant communications with Israeli officials in the days since Israel launched a massive attack on Iran in a bid to halt its nuclear program.

They also sent messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.

The Dem Minnesota state lawmaker who was assassinated by a crazed gunman in a rubber mask crossed party lines just days earlier and made a critical vote revoking health care coverage for illegal migrants. Melissa Hortman, the state House Democratic leader, was the only member of her party to side with Republicans and vote to repeal taxpayer-funded healthcare coverage for adult illegal immigrants as part of this year’s budget bill. She and her husband were gunned down on Saturday in Brooklyn Park just outside of Minneapolis, shortly after the same assassin is believed to have gravely wounded Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.

It’s strange how I keep being told by the regime media and Democrat political flunkies, to the limited extent that those are different things, about how I didn’t vote for what Donald Trump is doing to illegal aliens. I keep hearing about how I don’t want ICE raiding Home Depots, factories, and non-Beatles strawberry fields or sending away 30-year illegal aliens or illegal alien honor students. I’m told that Donald Trump only promised to deport criminal aliens – in the sense that they committed other crimes besides the crime they committed by being illegal aliens – and that Trump can’t actually send criminal aliens away either.
