SEX, LIES, AND THE DEEP STATE
At the heart of the effort to bring down President Trump were two affairs.
Unlike the bizarre lies about Moscow hotel rooms and prostitutes in the Steele dossier that was used by the Clinton campaign and its allies to smear President Trump and generate an investigation against him, these affairs truly took place.
And they didn’t just expose the malfeasance of four people, but of a corrupt political culture.
The affairs between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page in the FBI, and between Senate Intelligence Committee security director James Wolfe and New York Times reporter Ali Watkins, did more than betray the spouses of Strzok, Page and Wolfe.
For the Deep State, running a coup piggybacked on an affair and prostituting a reporter are virtues not sins.
The legitimate body of government tests for ethics. The parallel Deep State tests for corruption. The men and women who went after President Trump didn’t just cheat on each other, they cheated on America.
SUDDENLY, TRUMP SNOOKERS PUTIN IN SYRIA
When Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the green light to Russian aerial bombing of rebel-held positions in southwestern Syria two weeks ago, he knew he was asking for trouble.
And he appears to be getting plenty of it.
Since the Russia-led operation against Deraa began, Israeli commentators have assessed that Putin wished to wrap up the offensive ahead of his July 16 summit with President Donald Trump in Helsinki so that he could present Trump with a fait accompli.
A Russian triumph would convince Trump that U.S. operations in Syria are futile, and he would have accept Russia’s predominance, with Iran in the war-torn country.
Yet, just within the past few days Trump has turned the tables on Putin. Here’s what’s happening.
FREEDOM’S BIRTHDAY 2018
[This was originally in To The Point for July 4, 2004. This is the version for 2018. We at To The Point wish all of you an exceedingly happy Fourth of July.]
July 4th is Freedom’s Birthday. My suggestion is, amidst the fireworks and barbeques and flag-waving fun – all of which are great – that you take the time to feel good about America.
Take the time to read the Declaration of Independence aloud with your family.
One reason is that, for all your worries about America’s culture and morality, you and all your fellow conservatives can feel good about your country. Liberals can’t. One of the defining characteristics of leftie-liberals is an inability to feel truly proud of their country – proud to the bone.
You cannot be a liberal without feeling apologetic and embarrassed over being an American. You cannot be a conservative without lacking any such embarrassment or compulsion to apologize at all.
That is why the Left is filled with so much hate and rage towards President Trump – and why we feel so much affection. The Left doesn’t want to Make America Great Again – and we do.
AMERICAN RECONQUISTA
Santiago de Matamoros – Patron Saint of Spain
In 711 AD, a Moslem army crossed the Straits of Gibraltar to conquer all of Christian Spain. It took 750 years to kick them out.
The story is told of the Christian Reconquest of Spain – and of Spain’s patron saint Santiago Matamoros, meaning Saint James the Moslem-Killer (those are Moslem soldiers under his horse’s feet above) – in Reconquista (TTP, August 2009).[i]
Now, in a correlation of historical ironies, we are about to embark on an American Reconquista of our own. Actually, three of them simultaneously, all deeply interrelated.
History, however, moves far faster today than in the Middle Ages. Our Reconquista will not take centuries. Indeed, victory over all three could well be before the end of the Trump Presidency in 2024.
Let’s start with the most immediate. Two days ago on July 1st, Mexico declared war upon the United States.
TRUMP’S PATIENCE AND OURS
What impresses me most about the very stable genius in the White House isn’t the brilliance and thoroughness of his strategic planning, his boldness in going where no political leader has gone before, or his determination to drain the swamp.
It’s Trump’s patience. He’s holding fire until as many Swamp Things as possible are in the kill zone, the cases against them are airtight, and their exposure will have the most effect on the midterm elections.
Many conservatives think we know more about what’s going on in FBI/DOJ than in fact we do. Some think they know more about that than President Trump does.
We don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors. All warfare is deception. The president can’t fool our enemies without also misleading us.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS A DEATH WISH
Last week I thought the Democrats were having a nervous breakdown. I was wrong. It's worse. They actually have a death wish or what Freud called a "death drive" (Todestrieb).
They literally want to extinguish themselves and/or their party, or many of them do. At least they're acting that way.
That was the first thing that crossed my mind watching the explosion of demonstrations by liberals and progressives to abolish ICE and US border control. It’s their greatest cause célèbre since, well, whatever was their greatest cause célèbre three days before.
The polls show the vast majority of Americans think they're cracked and want, as do citizens of almost all countries, secure borders and legal immigration.
So why are they doing this? Do they secretly want open borders? Are they actually wannabe socialist revolutionaries out to change American society at its core? Or is it……
LIBERAL MATH
BREAKING THE LEFT
[This Forum post by Joe Katzman responding to The Brittleness of the Left needs to be read by all TTPers. You are encouraged to share your thoughts]
The impulses of the Left you will always have with you. But that doesn’t mean we can’t raze the treasonous infrastructure and personalities that make up its modern variants, and makes them effective:
- Arrest and jail the leftists who have abused their position with rampant illegality. Time for Justice.
- RICO against the Antifa/ BLM/ Occupy types, their funders, and those that provided material aid.
- Break the pedophile and human trafficking networks that stretch from Hollywood and beyond, and publicly hang them around the Left’s neck.
HALF-FULL REPORT 06/29/18
With the Fourth of July right around the corner, we have so much to celebrate this week that the question is not, Are you tired of winning yet?. The question now is, Have you run out of popcorn yet?. Better buy a lot more. This show just keep getting better and better.
This is the week, to take a prime example, that exposed The Brittleness of the Left (6/28). Tossing modesty aside, it’s the Must-Read of the Week (and it’s Free, you can send it to everyone you know) – in which we learned that it’s not just college kids, it’s that all Lefties are snowflakes.
A key character trait of all Liberal-Lefties is avoidance of personal responsibility, acceptance of which is a necessary condition for being an adult. Thus a physically grown male Lefty remains a man-child, while a female Lefty remains a woman-child – for the above meme applies to both genders.
Another necessary condition of being a real adult, man or woman, is one’s capacity for reason to override one’s emotions. Lacking this capacity is what makes children crybabies ruled by their feelings – which is exactly what Lefties are.
Leftie crybabies have been on bright klieg lights display this week like never before. Here’s a trio of examples you’ll revel in. And there’s massively more in this Fabulous Fourth of July HFR…
THE BRITTLENESS OF THE LEFT
Justice Kennedy: “Ruth is 85 – do I tell her it’s time to retire?”
In 1987, I wrote an article for the Heritage Foundation entitled, "The Brittleness of the Soviet Empire."
I argued that the structure of the Soviet Empire, including the Soviet Union itself, was brittle. When a physicist describes a physical substance as brittle, he has definite characteristics in mind.
A brittle structure may be very stable. Unbending and unchanging, it may be able to withstand a great deal of pressure and remain unaltered for a considerable time. But it is inflexible; stresses cannot be redistributed except by causing the flaws to grow until a sudden, catastrophic failure occurs shattering the material and breaking it apart.
A brittle structure does not change slowly and gradually. One moment it seems sturdy and unyielding; the next moment it is in pieces.
That’s exactly what happened to the Soviet Union. That’s exactly what’s happening to the Left in America today. As in today, June 28, 2018. Mark the date. Millions of Lefty Trump-Haters feel just like this guy as you are reading this:
