The Deep State Defeat of Donald Trump
“The Trump–Deep State clash is a showdown between a presidency that is far too powerful versus federal agencies that have become fiefdoms with immunity for almost any and all abuses.”
Donald Trump lost the 2020 election by fewer than 50,000 votes in a handful of swing states that determined the Electoral College result. There were numerous issues that could drive that relatively small number of votes. But machinations by the Deep State probably cost Trump far more votes than it took to seal his loss.
“The Deep State” commonly refers to officials who secretly wield power permanently in Washington, often in federal agencies with vast sway and little accountability. During Trump’s first impeachment, the establishment media exalted the Deep State. New York Times columnist James Stewart assured readers that the secretive agencies “work for the American people,” New York Times editorial writer Michelle Cottle hailed the Deep State as “a collection of patriotic public servants,” and Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson captured the Beltway’s verdict: “God bless the Deep State!”
The first three years of Trump’s presidency were haunted by constant accusations that he had colluded with Russians to win the 2016 election. The FBI launched its investigation on the basis of ludicrous allegations from a dossier financed by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. FBI officials deceived the FISA Court to authorize surveilling the Trump campaign. A FISA warrant is the nuclear bomb of searches, authorizing the FBI “to conduct simultaneous telephone, microphone, cell phone, e-mail and computer surveillance of the U.S. person target’s home, workplace and vehicles,” as well as “physical searches of the target’s residence, office, vehicles, computer, safe deposit box and U.S. mails,” as a FISA court decision noted. The FISA court is extremely deferential, approving 99 percent of all search warrant requests.
Leaks from federal officials spurred media hysteria that put Trump on the defensive even before he took his oath of office in January 2017. A 2018 Inspector General (IG) report revealed that one FBI agent labeled Trump supporters as “retarded” and declared, “I’m with her” (Clinton). Another FBI employee texted that “Trump’s supporters are all poor to middle class, uneducated, lazy POS.” One FBI lawyer texted that he was “devastated” by Trump’s election and declared, “Viva la Resistance!” and “I never really liked the Republic anyway.” The same person became the “primary FBI attorney assigned to [the Russian election-interference] investigation beginning in early 2017,” the IG noted.
FBI chief James Comey leaked official memos to friendly reporters, thereby spurring the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Trump. A 2019 Inspector General report noted that top FBI officials told the IG that they were “shocked,” “stunned,” and “surprised’ that Comey would leak the contents of one of the memos to a reporter. The IG concluded, “The unauthorized disclosure of this information — information that Comey knew only by virtue of his position as FBI Director — violated the terms of his FBI Employment Agreement and the FBI’s Prepublication Review Policy.” The IG concluded that by using sensitive information “to create public pressure for official action, Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees — and the many thousands more...

Joe Biden may have accidentally paid $25,000 for Hunter Biden's prostitute: Report
The Chateau Marmont is part of the seedier section of Hollywood mythology, a celebrity-speckled hotel ruled cooperatively by the spirits of Dionysus, Aphrodite and Thanatos.
It's best remembered for the most notable tragedy of excess to happen on its grounds: On March 5, 1982, after a night of partying, actor John Belushi breathed his last in one of the Marmont's bungalows, the victim of a heroin and cocaine overdose. Most of the luxury hotel's famous cases of excess survived to tell the tale, however.
According to Town and Country, "Some Like it Hot" director Billy Wilder once slept in the lobby bathroom, "Rebel Without a Cause" director Nicholas Ray slept with a 16-year-old Natalie Wood there and Desi Arnaz oft slept there when Lucille Ball was nonplussed with him.
To this long list of dissolution, we can now potentially add a future American president who may have inadvertently paid up to $25,000 to a Russian prostitute hired by his son.
We're talking about President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, of course, and the story comes from the first book-length examination of a certain computer. On Tuesday, the New York Post published an excerpt from Miranda Devine's upcoming book, "Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide."
In the excerpt, Devine said messages, receipts and records on Hunter Biden's laptop -- which he allegedly abandoned at a Delaware repair shop in 2019 -- provided thorough documentation of Biden's very lost, very long weekend in 2018.
This particular snapshot from Hunter's debauchery comes from May of that year when he was shacked up in the Chateau Marmont. Biden's digital footprint reportedly shows he was browsing through his favorite escort sites when he settled upon a 24-year-old prostitute from a service called Emerald Fantasy Girls.
Yanna was described as “Russian, Green Eyes, Thin Brunette, an elite courtesan." She also listed the sex acts she could perform on her menu, according to the Post.
Biden reportedly sent a text message to Yanna: “Hi, My name is Rob. I’m staying at Chateau Marmont. Are you available now?” And so begins a debauch that lasts a few days. Devine alleged it's all recorded on Hunter Biden's laptop: The two smoked crack, drank vodka and did the sorts of things one pays escorts thousands of dollars for. (In one particularly cringeworthy scene described by Devine, Yanna supposedly ate M&Ms off of Hunter's procreative organ.)
"All of these messages, all of these pictures, are saved on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which he treats like a diary, storing every email and text conversation, his financial records, and his copious...
The Anti-Trump Verbal Preemptive Cringe Conservative pundits might do well not taking their cues from Democrat elites.
Even conservative commentators who are not afflicted with terminal Trump Derangement Syndrome are compelled to drag Trump into their writing and criticize him in order to preempt any suspicion that their comments critical of progressives show support for the hated ex-president.
This verbal preemptive cringe is a way for members of the bipartisan political guild to signal their virtue and assure progressives that they’re not one of those knuckle-dragging “deplorable” Trump supporters. In doing so, they remind Trump voters why they supported him in the first place: He cut through all the class-signaling politesse and specious “norms” the cognitive elite use to advertise their superiority.
A good example can be found in a commentary from Lance Morrow in the Wall Street Journal. Much of the piece is a spot-on dissection of the progressive class-hatred of conservatives in general and Donald Trump’s supporters in particular. His portrait of these plutocrat progressives is worth quoting:
In their voices, you hear a throb of opulent hysteria—an ostentatious despair, the boutique self-pity of the privileged. Hating Mr. Trump and his followers dramatizes one’s own virtue. It makes elites feel good about themselves in the way, classically, that poor whites in the South were able to feel better about their own lot by despising and discriminating against black people. Progressives think that hating not only Mr. Trump but all conservatives settles their debts and cleanses them of sin. It gives them a certain moral luster.But immediately there follows the preemptive cringe, the reflexive criticism of Trump lest Morrow’s fellow cognitive elites interpret those prior remarks as support for him:
Mr. Trump is to blame for much of this. Character is destiny, and Mr. Trump was quite a character. He gave his enemies the gift of Jan. 6. He played peek-a-boo with forbidden thoughts. He tossed cherry bombs at the Constitution to see if he could give it a scare. Whatever else one may say about Jan. 6, it was one of the stupidest afternoons in American history.The burden of this charge contains an obvious begged question. By “character” Morrow seemingly assumes that it comprises style, tone, and language, rather than actions that, in the case of Trump, fulfilled campaign promises, and fought back against the decades of Democrat slanders and lies about Republicans and conservatives.
Morrow’s idea of “character,” moreover, reflects the mores of just one of America’s several “peoples,” the cognitive elites who often are more impressed with style and manners and class markers, than they are with meaningful deeds. Nor is it clear what “forbidden thoughts” Morrow’s talking about. Racism? Overturning the election results? These charges are the equivalent of the country-club set’s rule that forbids wearing white after Labor Day.
But there are ways of being American other than the modern equivalent of Boston Brahmins. Those whose ancestors came from the English borderlands with Scotland, or were the Scots who settled the Ulster Plantation in Ireland, have a different sensibility. These are the people who tamed the frontier, and have disproportionately fought and died in America’s wars. They distrust authority, especially that of distant elites. They prefer plain speaking and credit deeds rather than the clever, passive-aggressive, snide rhetoric of college-boys, tinhorns, and tenderfeet. They despise pretense and snobbery, and have a...
Is HAARP Firing Up? FAA Issues Warning About "Electromagnetic Radiation"
A longstanding topic of great speculation among curious minds is HAARP, a controversial Alaska-based research facility that studies the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere: the ionosphere.
HAARP (short for High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) has been at the center of wild speculation that its high-power radio frequency transmitter facility can control the weather. Though those claims have yet to be confirmed, conspiracy theorists say otherwise.
HAARP has fallen out of the news cycle in recent years for inactivity, but there's reason to believe that it's being fired back up for "scientific research."
A notice to airmen (known as a NOTAM) was issued by the Federal Aviation Administration on June 17 with the beginning date of June 21 through June 25.
The NOTAM places "temporary flight restrictions" around Gulkana, Alaska, where the HAARP facility is located. It reads that planes are restricted from flying in the Gulkana airspace due to "electromagnetic radiation for scientific research."

After Trump Announces Border Trip, Harris Finally Decides To Visit - 800 Miles Away.....
She isn’t really going to where the border crisis is though, she’s going to El Paso
Kamala Harris, the so called ‘border czar’ has finally decided to visit the border, but only after President Trump announced that he will be making a trip there, prompting Trump to issue a scathing statement.
“After months of ignoring the crisis at the Southern Border, it is great that we got Kamala Harris to finally go and see the tremendous destruction and death they’ve created — a direct result of Biden ending my very tough but fair Border policies,” Trump said in a statement.
He continued, “Harris and Biden were given the strongest Border in American history. And now, it is by far the worst in American history.”
“If Governor Abbott and I weren’t going there next week, she would have never gone!” Trump declared.
Just a week ago, Trump announced that he and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott will visit the Texas/Mexico border on June 30th, noting “Biden and Harris won’t even tour the scenes of the wreckage they created, or come down and visit with the Border Patrol and ICE heroes risking their lives to defend our Nation.”
Harris has avoided the crisis for over three months, but according to Politico will now travel to El Paso, Texas on Friday with DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has been claiming for months that there is no crisis on the border, and that it’s under control. On Thursday that narrative appeared to completely evaporate:
Joe Biden Threatens Gun Brokers’ Licenses Who Willfully Sell Guns that ‘Commit Violent Crimes’
President Joe Biden delivered Wednesday’s remarks on the administration’s strategy to prevent gun crimes across the country when he issued a stark warning for gun brokers who have willfully sold guns to people who are not authorized to own one and are used to commit violent crimes.
Biden said in April he had originally announced the Department of Justice was “going to be issuing an annual report on gun trafficking so we can update that data.”
He continued to say the Justice Department also announced a “major crackdown to stem the flow of guns used to commit violent crimes.”
The Biden administration under Biden will have a “zero tolerance for gun dealers who willfully violate key existing laws and regulations.”
He continued if a gun broker is going to willfully sell a gun to someone that is prohibited from owning a gun, in addition to “willfully fail to run a background check” or “willfully falsify a record or fail to cooperate,” the Biden administration will come after the broker.
Biden said his message is very simple, the authorities “will find you,” and the authorities “will seek your license to sell guns.”
Biden noted the authorities would “make sure [the gun broker] can’t sell death and mayhem on our streets.”
“It’s an outrage,” Biden said. “It has to end,” and that his administration will “end it.”
