One of the most annoying and irresponsible realities about the MSM is that they have lost even a shred of responsible reporting. Unfortunately, this is not exactly new. On June 1, 1942, the Chicago Tribune published a story with the following headline:

Secrecy And Leaks: When The U.S. Government Prosecuted The Chicago Tribune | National Security Archive

“NAVY HAD WORD OF JAP PLAN TO STRIKE AT SEA”

They considered prosecuting the reporter but decided against it to avoid a public trial that would reveal we had compromised Japan’s codes.

WWII: Gov. Refused To Prosecute Leaker For Fear Of Public Backlash

Anyone who has ever worked in intelligence and had access to top secret information knows that the most vital information is “what we know about the enemy.” It is hard to imagine a more critical issue right now than whether Iran can or cannot make a nuclear weapon. The defense department, for the record, is merely stating the obvious, that our bombing mission obliterated its target. Iran is claiming it still has its enriched uranium, but they would say that whether it was true or not.

The problem is that there are supposed leaks saying we have signals intelligence allegedly showing that Iran still has enriched uranium. This story may or may not be true. The MSM lately has been famous for lying about everything if it believes it has the potential to discredit Donald Trump, without regard to the consequences.

Regarding the more recent “leak” the consequences could result in a catastrophic World War III involving nuclear weapons. Having worked in Signals Intelligence it is hard for me to imagine any person directly involved leaking this kind of information. Sadly, the deep state is all too real and there are people in positions demanding the utmost trust who untrustworthy. There are people who will leak “information” later shown to have zero merit. Sadly, there are always people in the MSM, like that reporter, willing to publish information that could be incredibly damaging to our national security.

More recently there was a classified briefing for United States Senators. Instantly senators from both parties were more than willing to publicly air their opinions. Republicans tended to support the President’s assertion that the damage was significant. Democrats tended to question the results. They all talked too much and did nothing more than provide direct evidence regarding why Congress cannot be trusted to protect classified information.

The only response to that briefing, by members of both parties, should have been to thank the military personnel involved and thank the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and the Director of the CIA for taking the time to keep them informed. Instead, they all pontificated, one way or another, and everything they said had the potential to disclose classified information.

This creates a huge problem for any administration. How, exactly, can you keep congress fully informed, if members of congress cannot be trusted to protect classified information. Just for once it would be nice to see people united in protecting the country and get off their political high horses.

The duties of a President of the United States, Commander in Chief, includes making extremely difficult but necessary decisions. Trying to run a war, with a committee, would be irresponsible. I think too many people have forgotten the awesome responsibilities of a President of the United States. We have chosen Presidents based more on name recognition than actual ability. More recently Joe Biden was allowed to remain in office even after it was apparent that the lacked the mental awareness required. In addition, even at his worst, Joe Biden may have been a better option than the only possible replacement, Kamala Harris.

It is also important to have some members of the media who can be trusted regarding extremely critical issues. Sadly, that has also not been true for an extraordinarily long time. Walter Cronkite, the most trusted name in news, completely misrepresented what was going on in Vietnam, after the Tet offense and as a result the United States snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

We should learn from this, but we increasingly rely on artificial intelligence over reality. It is hard to be optimistic.

In 1961 Fred Fassert wrote “Barbara Ann” for the Regents. No one remembers Fred Fassert and I doubt anyone remembers the Regents. But many of us remember “Bomb Iran” because it was a very catchy twist on the Beach Boys’ hit, “Barbara Ann.” It was inspired by the Iran hostage fiasco.

November 4, 1979, Iranian “students” seized the U.S. Embassy and detained more than 50 Americans. They were detained there until January 20, 1981; coincidentally the same day Ronald Reagan gave his first inaugural address.

It was humiliating to see our Embassy overrun, Embassy employees held in captivity, and our President, Jimmy Carter, seemingly incapable of doing anything about it. He did authorize a rescue mission, “Operation Eagle Claw.” It was a miserable failure, much like the rest of the Carter Presidency.

Operation Eagle Claw

The CIA was involved in the overthrow of Iran’s government in 1953 putting the Shah of Iran in power. Iran was a great ally of ours until the Iranian revolution in1979. Jimmy Carter visited Iran in 1977. He called Iran an “Island of Stability.” When the Iranian revolution broke out in 1979, the U.S. did not intervene. Carter even refused to allow the Shah to visit the U.S. for medical treatment. But later he changed his mind and let the Shah come anyway. That is what triggered the American Hostage fiasco.

President Carter hosts shah of Iran, Nov. 15, 1977 – POLITICO

Iran became the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world. It has supplied weapons to terrorist groups in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, and several other places.

Iran – United States Department of State

Iran is famous for calling the U.S. the “Great Satan” and threatening to destroy both Israel and the U.S. It enabled attacks by terrorist groups it supports that have killed U.S. military personnel. To make things worse, Iran has been determined to obtain a nuclear weapon. While several nations have nuclear weapons, the only nation to use a nuclear bomb was the U.S. That happened in 1945 at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. President Truman ordered the use of atom bombs to convince Japan to surrender.

Since then, no country has used a nuclear weapon because no sane person wants to see a war involving nuclear weapons. Many people fear that Iran would either use the threat of a nuclear weapon to hold Israel and the United States hostage or it would use such a weapon to destroy Israel.

American Presidents have been expressing concern regarding Iran getting a nuclear weapon for decades. It is obvious that Iran has been putting maximum effort into getting a nuclear weapon and has been working on developing ballistic missiles capable of delivering a nuclear weapon. Iran is run by people who believe that Israel must be destroyed.

This is why Israel attacked the nuclear facilities in Iran. It is why President Trump just ordered U.S. B2 bombers to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities. Most people support this, because having a country like Iran in possession of a nuclear weapon is unthinkable. It is hard to imagine a more serious threat to our national security.

The mission ordered by President Trump was a tremendous success. The entire world watched in awe as our military strength was put on full display. No one knows what will happen next. Iran predictably launched another missile attack against Israel, but it is running out of missiles. Israel targeted the Iranian military chain of command and the results are stunning.

Before Democrats and RINO Republicans try to impeach Trump, they might want to do some research. Barack Obama attacked Libya without congressional approval. He routinely ignored the War Powers Resolution. He just sent a notification letter to Congress announcing that he was restarting the 60-day limit.

The Executive’s War: Obama’s Military Actions Without Congressional Approval – The Righteous Cause

Even POLITICO admitted Obama’s decision to intervene in Libya, while ignoring Iran, was a huge mistake.

“Rather than helping the United States combat terrorism, as Gadhafi did during his last decade in power, Libya [began to serve] as a safe haven for militias affiliated with both al – Qa i da and the Islamic State of Iraq (ISIS). The Libya intervention has harmed other U.S. interests as well: undermining nuclear nonproliferation, chilling Russian cooperation at the U. N., and fueling Syria’s civil war.”

The difference between the decision made by Obama and the one made by Trump is enormous. Trump was facing a real, imminent threat to Israel and the rest of the world if Iran was able to obtain a nuclear weapon. Obama was responding to a UN resolution. Libya was a lot of things, but not a threat to the U.S. or its interests.

Russia is warning the U.S. about dangerous escalation. But the facts are that these strikes just told Moscow their air defense systems cannot defend against a U.S. attack. In addition, they admitted that Iran was working toward a nuclear weapon.

Dmity Medvedev admitted that: “The enrichment of nuclear material – and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons – will continue.” He also said that nations are prepared to give Iran a nuclear weapon. It is hard to imagine any nation that stupid.

He also said there was only minor damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities. The pictures tell a vastly different story.

Russia has recently been threatening to use nuclear weapons. But if Russia used a nuclear weapon, anywhere, it would face an immediate threat of massive retaliation.

Donald Trump knows exactly how to respond to a threat by anyone of using a nuclear weapon.

Donald J. Trump on X: “North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!” / X

Kim Jong Un got the message. He later met directly with President Trump. With this attack on Iran, Trump just sent a strong message to Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea. We have the military capacity to take out their facilities. Trump is not intimidated by people who make hollow threats. He does not seek war with China, Russia, North Korea or even Iran. But the best way to maintain the peace is to show the world Trump can and will give the order to use our tremendous military assets if that becomes necessary.

If we learn anything from history, hopefully China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran will learn from Kim Jong Un and decide the United States may not be our friend, but they cannot risk making us an enemy.

The Democrat Party is floundering on the high sees(sp). The most recent example of this was the bizarre case of Alex Padilla. Having lived in California for over 35 years, we knew about Alex Padilla. He was the California Secretary of State. People in other states are sometime shocked to learn that ballot harvesting is legal in California. Democrats consider this a way to increase voter turnout. Ballot boxes are put in selected locations so that people could vote without the inconvenience of reporting in person and bothering to identify themselves. Chain of custody was so yesterday. When Republicans tried to join in the game, by putting Ballot Boxes in Churches and Gun Stores, Padilla lost his mind. He issued a cease and desist ordering arguing that the boxes were a form of legal ballot harvesting. That, of course, was true because that is exactly what Democrats were doing. But if it weren’t for double standards, Democrats would have no standards at all, so Republicans, predictably, caved after acknowledging that a volunteer had made a mistake by denoting the ballot box as official, a designation only authorized for Democrat ballot boxes. Preserving chain of custody of the ballots, unless solely done by Democrats, was totally unacceptable to Padilla.

Naturally, this made him the ideal candidate to replace Kamala Harris as Senator from California. Governor Newsom appointed him after Harris became VP in 2021. He won election to the Senate in 2022. What a shock to see a Democrat win a federal election in California. He predictably voted with Joe Biden 100% of the time.

Most recently he tried to interrupt a press briefing by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem by rushing toward her screaming that he “wanted to know why you insist on exaggerating and embellishing.” The Secret Service responded by grabbing him and dragging him kicking and screaming out of the room. I am not sure that Kristi Noem even noticed because she just calmly continued with her briefing.

Since then, with carefully edited video, Padilla claims he was assaulted unjustly by the Secret Service. The unedited video provides a different perspective of events. Then J.D. Vance poured gas on the fire by referring to Alex Padilla as “Jose” Padilla. I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but Democrats seized the day by playing the race card. The same race card Padilla has used repeatedly throughout his career. He was president of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. But if a Republican refers to someone who brags about being Hispanic, as being Hispanic, well that is an insult that cannot be ignored.

When Padilla was appointed to the Senate, Black leaders were furious that another Black woman did not replace Kamala Harris. There’s a pattern here. Little known Democrat politicians, desperate for public attention, are finding ways to get arrested. Then they can claim the victim card. You know like when the President of the National Association of Latino elected and Appointed Officials is accused of being Hispanic.

Padilla is advancing in Democratic leadership not due to achievements, but because he got arrested. Being handcuffed for behaving like a jerk is a high honor in the modern Democrat Party. The greatest symbol of leadership ability is being publicly identified as a victim. This is why other Democrats have seized the day and the spotlight by trying to rush past armed guards at ICE detention facilities.

So, if you are going nowhere as a Democrat politician, because you are accomplishing nothing, then getting arrested will gain you the blue badge of courage. If nothing else works, give it an arrest.

Everything moves in cycles, and just when you think Democrats have dug a hole too deep to climb out of, Republicans find a way to self-destruct. But that may be delayed a little longer if the only way Democrats can get someone to pay attention is for them to get arrested for doing something stupid like objecting to the Trump administration enforcing federal law. You know, like pointing out that people here illegally, are here illegally, and the rest of us are more than a little tired of being asked to support them with our taxes.

President George W. Bush ordered Operation Iraqi Freedom which was launched on March 20, 2003. Within 21 days the coalition of troops led by the U.S. and Great Britain had seized Bagdad. In December, Saddam Hussein was captured hiding in a Spider Hole. He was executed on December 30, 2006.

The world was in awe of what had been accomplished by Operation Iraqi Freedom. People were asking what Bush should do now, should he look right or left for the next target. Muammar Gaddafi, who was on the left, was no fool, so he ordered Libya to halt its nuclear program and began cooperating with the U.S. Iran, which was on the right, suspended its nuclear weapon program. But then something changed. During an interview with Chris Matthews, Joe Biden, who was the United States Senator from Delaware and chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee said that: “if President Bush attacked Iran without congressional approval, he “would lead an effort to impeach him.”  Brilliant!

Biden: ‘I would move to impeach him’

Iran formally halted the Amad Plan in late 2003. They didn’t like what happened to Saddam Hussein. Once they realized that Bush would have to get permission from Joe Biden to attack Iran, they relaxed. They started openly working on a nuclear weapon again and that brings us today where there are some reports they could be within weeks of achieving that goal.

A History of Iran’s Nuclear Program | Iran Watch

“In October 2003, Iran struck a deal with three European countries, agreeing to suspend its enrichment activities and ratify an Additional Protocol to its safeguards agreement. This followed a resolution by the IAEA Board of Governors a month earlier demanding Iran’s cooperation. By the end of the year, IAEA verification efforts had begun, and Iran had signed an Additional Protocol with the Agency.

But Iran did not follow through on these commitments. Its declarations to the IAEA in 2004 and 2005 were incomplete and at times inconsistent, preventing the Agency from developing a full picture of the nuclear program and Iran’s past activities. Iran also resumed or continued activities that the IAEA considered to be related to enrichment. These issues led to a June 2004 rebuke and a September 2005 finding of non-compliance by the IAEA Board of Governors, opening the door to a U.N. Security Council referral. Iran responded by ceasing its implementation of the Additional Protocol and restarting previously suspended enrichment activities. By April 2006, the country had announced that it had enriched uranium to the level of 3.6 percent.”

Now, when President Trump is threatening to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities with a bunker busting bomb, some Democrats and sadly some Republicans are trying to hand cuff him. Once again, they want congress to give approval before Trump can act. Fortunately, there is no Senator Biden threatening to impeach him.

This is insane. Both Democrats and Republicans should be united in a demand that Iran never gain access to a nuclear weapon. Iran which has been threatening death to Israel and death to the United States would present a horrific worst-case scenario. So far, nuclear war has been avoided because even worst, Russia was not suicidal. But the leaders of Iran expose views that hint they might even welcome a nuclear holocaust. It is hard to imagine a more irresponsible and dangerous decision than to risk letting Iran get a nuclear weapon.

Iran must be stopped from getting a nuclear weapon. If not now, when? If not by Donald Trump, who? Gavin Newsom? Pete Buttigieg? Kamala Harris? AOC? Hakeem Jeffries? Please. Winston Churchill once said that the most unethical decision he could have made was to let Hitler win World War II. The cost of defeating Adolph Hitler was beyond catastrophic, but the cost of losing to him would have been much worse. Yet, even Hitler, did not have access to an atomic bomb and the ballistic missiles capable to delivering such a bomb.

That is how serious this situation is in Iran. It is why both Republicans and Democrats who think they are wiser than Donald Trump need to shut up. We all better pray he gets this right, because the consequences of Iran getting a nuclear weapon stagger the imagination.

In 1972 Democrats united against Richard Nixon and even though he had been re-elected by a historic landslide, they were determined to destroy him. They eventually turned a third-rate burglary of DNC headquarters at the Watergate Hotel into the crime of the century. They eventually got Republicans, who should have known better, to desert Nixon. He was forced to resign with catastrophic results. Democrats handcuffed Gerald Ford and prevented him from securing the peace that had been won by Richard Nixon. With no regard to the consequences, they threw away the sacrifices of the brave men and women who fought valiantly in Vietnam, who secured victory against all odds, only to be tossed on the scrapheap of history by Democrats who could not care less.

The MSM, then as now, was in full cahoots with the DNC. They also hated Nixon. Nothing else mattered. If the Watergate Burglary had happened to any other President, it would not have mattered. The MSM would have ignored it. With Richard Nixon, it became their life’s mission.

Now, history is repeating itself. Once again Democrats are so filled with hatred for Donald Trump, that they are willing to do anything to stop him. They don’t care about Democracy, or they would recognize that Trump was elected by a huge margin, and he won the popular vote. Prior to the election they tried everything, including ridiculous lawsuits to defeat him. They constantly called him a threat to Democracy. They compared him to Hitler. It was no big surprise that a mentally challenged individual believed this nonsense and decided to assassinate Trump. He almost succeeded. That didn’t even slow Democrats down. Then there was another assassination attempt, bared thwarted. That didn’t slow them down either.

Instead, they have attempted to stop Donald Trump by any means necessary. They lie about everything he does or says. They still call him a threat to Democracy. They still compare him to Hitler. They still scream outrage at the top of their lungs begging their few remaining followers to do something. Sadly, even though the MSM was humiliated by the election of Donald Trump, they are still telling the same lies, spreading the same misinformation, and doing everything possible to make as many people fear and hate Donald Trump as possible. Again, they are doing this with zero regard for the facts and the evidence and even less regard for the consequences.

Now we see the consequences. There are rallies all around the country, with people protesting the Trump administration for enforcing immigration laws. Some of these rallies have been predictably violent. Democrat politicians are raging calling Trump Hitler, again, while comparing ICE to the Gestapo. They are demanding people stand up and fight back against the police state.

Last night a man in Minnesota shot two Democrat politicians and their spouses. One of them was the deciding vote to stop Medicare from funding illegal aliens. When she made that vote, she tearfully said she was putting a target on her back. That turned out to be more accurate than anyone dreamed. The MSM is trying to cover this up by pretending, that since they were Democrats, that this guy was probably a right-wing MAGA supporter. But it won’t work. He was appointed by Tim Walsh and the car he was driving had “No King” rally brochures. You know the ones warning people that Trump is a dictator who wants to be King, because he is daring to enforce existing law.

They may not have expected this, but they certainly wouldn’t have shed a tear if this deranged lunatic had shot at Trump or one of the horrible Republicans supporting him. They may pretend to be surprised but there is nothing surprising about this. With this kind of irresponsible rhetoric supported by non-stop trashing of Trump by the MSM, why would anyone be surprised?

Sadly, not one single prominently known Democrat has dare speak out against the violent and dangerous rhetoric. The person who came closest was John Fetterman and when he tried to make a couple of rational observations, they instantly trashed him.

But this time there’s a problem. This is too big of a story to ignore, and the facts are going to come out. They are already starting to surface and with Pam Bondi and Kash Patel on the hunt, it is going to be impossible to sweep the reality of this under the MSM blanket immunity program.

It is past time for responsible people in both parties to join together. Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. Get over it. You don’t have to like him or like his policies but the current strategy of calling him evil, a dictator, a wannabe king, a threat to Democracy must stop. The MAGA movement has been extremely non-violent, but at some point, if things don’t change, at least some of them will want to fight back. If this doesn’t stop, it may not matter who wins the next election, because they will be dealing with a real civil war.

Most of us have watched, with disgust, the massive misrepresentation of current events by the Democrat Party and its partners in the MSM. The sad reality is that they would prefer to do absolutely nothing about the millions of people who are in this country illegally. This is so bad that they even allowed some of the most dangerous criminals on this earth walk free. They labor under the illusion that if we treat bad people fairly, they will stop being bad. There is zero evidence to support this opinion. There is a mountain of evidence to show why this approach has always failed.

Now we have violent protests in Los Angeles and other cities designed to force the Trump administration to stop enforcing immigration laws. Just think about that. When these protests turn extremely violent, they are furious not at the violent protestors, but rather Donald Trump for daring to send in the National Guard to restore order.

These are the same people who have lied to us continually about everything. They lied about Joe Biden, ignoring the dangerous reality of having a Commander in Chief, President of the United States, who was mentally incapable to performing the awesome duties of that position. Then, when he is finally removed from office by an overwhelming vote for Donald Trump, they are trying to convince us that Donald Trump is the threat to Democracy. Do they really believe that?

But the problem is far worse than that. They have ignored the indisputable fact that Iran has been sponsoring terrorism all over the world. They downplay the horrific attack on Israel by Hamas and argue that it is Israel who is the threat to world peace by working to defeat Hamas.

Now we learn that Iran was extremely close to getting a Nuclear Weapon. Thank you, President Obama. Thank you, President Biden. It is now clear that Iran has zero interest in anything other than obtaining a nuclear weapon, that it intends to use against Israel and against us. It is impossible to overstate the threat to the entire world if a terrorist state like Iran obtains a nuclear weapon. If that happens there is no possibility of a good outcome.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki taught us all about the horrific damage that can be done by nuclear weapons. Today the weapons are much smaller, and they can do much more damage.

Last night Israel launched an attack on Iran and on its nuclear capacity. This is likely to last for several days. So far, while the rest of the world is doing nothing to help, they also aren’t condemning Israel. That is an enormous clue regarding the seriousness of this threat.

We all better hope and pray that Israel gets the job done. It is time for everyone to stop playing partisan politics and work together to protect this country. One of the major problems with all those illegal immigrants let in by several Presidents, but especially Joe Biden, is that at least some of them are dangerous terrorists. We can be certain that some of them were sent here by Iran, and they are likely to at least try to attack us and inflict the most horrific damage possible.

Since the people came into the country with no documentation, we don’t even know how many are here. It is sad that some good people, trying to be productive, will also be picked up by ICE and deported. But the blame for that falls on the people who let this happen, without regard to the consequences. Well welcome to the consequence.

In the meantime, pray that Israel succeeds. The cost of failure is beyond imagination.

When Donald Trump was elected President in 2016, he did not understand the deep state and he was unprepared to deal with it. Some federal officials view the President as a transient figure in the Oval Office. If they don’t like him, they just ignore him or even sabotage him, certain that they will remain in power long after he finished his term of office. (I used him because, so far, all U.S. Presidents have been male.)

If you want to see a parallel of this, check out the Cambridge Spies miniseries from 2003. It tells the all too true story of five Cambridge students recruited by the Russian KGB.

The series concentrates on Guy Burgess, Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, and Donald MacClean. John Cairncross was also recruited at Cambridge. He worked as a German Translator at Bletchley Park, contributing to the ENIGMA/Ultra project. This gave him access to secret information he gladly supplied the Soviet Union in direct opposition to Churchill’s orders.

https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/profile/john-cairncross/

He was awarded the Order of the Red Banner (a Soviet military decoration). Incredibly he was transferred to MI6 and later he returned to the Treasury. It is believed that he provided the Soviet Union with information regarding the Atomic Bomb.

When Burgess and McClean fled England to avoid investigation, handwritten notes found in Burgess’s home were linked to Cairncross. He denied being a Soviet Spy. But was forced to resign from the resign from civil service. Incredibly, he moved to the United States where he taught at Northwestern University and Case Western Reserve University.

When Kim Philby defected to the Soviet Union in 1964. Cairncross finally admitted to being a Soviet Spy but was never prosecuted. He wrote memoirs bragging about this in a book called “The Enigma Spy,” published in 1997, two years after his death.

I did not watch the entire series, because it was too disgusting. But one of the significant things was that Guy Burgess was caught doing something extremely disgusting. This was covered up by “the British establishment” at Cambridge which told Burgess he was part of the club so they would protect him. While this may not be historically accurate, it is extremely accurate in portraying the un-elected elitists who consider themselves destined, by the God they don’t believe in, to make decisions for everyone else.

It would be naïve to believe that such people do not also exist here, in the U.S. They are equally arrogant, contemptable, and stupid. Nothing matters to them other than retaining personal power.

This helps explain why the FBI, the CIA and others were more than willing to do anything and everything to obstruct Donald Trump during his first four years in office. It explains the unprecedented lawfare against him using non-existent facts and ridiculous arguments to obtain convictions against him in hopelessly prejudiced courts. This was done solely so they could call him a convicted felon and prevent him from winning.

But he did win, he knows all about the deep state and he is determined to defeat it. We better hope he succeeds. Those remaining in power and their friends in the MSM are still on a mission to stop Trump, which is why the attack, lies, and misinformation continue daily. Whatever Trump does is horrible, and everything he says is dismissed as a lie. None of this requires any facts or evidence.

But there is a problem. In their desperation to destroy Trump, the Deep States is exposing itself as never before with disastrous results. Ironically, replacing Donald Trump with Joe Biden as President may lead to their downfall. The truth is coming out, it is extremely ugly, and it is increasingly difficult to ignore. Joe Biden, a mentally deficient “placeholder” President vacationed on the beach while unelected elitists made incredibly stupid decisions that destroyed our economy and left the world on the brink of war with Iran racing toward a nuclear weapon that they would be almost certain to use. Yet if you ask any of them about this, they will argue that Joe did an excellent job.

One thing the deep state has in common with the Cambridge five is that even when confronted with their treachery, they never considered admitting they were wrong. So don’t expect the members of the deep state to ever admit they were wrong either. Instead, they will continue to blame everything on Donald Trump, foolishly expecting the American people to buy this nonsense. Fortunately, few are buying this nonsense anymore and ultimately this is how Donald Trump will deep six at least part of the deep state.

Benedict Arnold has become synonymous with “treason and betrayal.” He was a major general in the American Continental army who fought with distinction. George Washington placed Arnold in command of West Point. But it turned out that Benedict Arnold was a traitor, who secretly planned to surrender West Point to the British.

Benedict Arnold – General and Traitor, Age, Married, Children and more

Benedict Arnold is hardly the only person discovered to be a traitor. What made him famous was the significance of the position of power he held and the absolute and complete betrayal of those who trusted him. If he had been successful in surrendering West Point, the results of the American Revolution might have been very different.

Recently the Democrat Party and its supporters in the MSM have been exposed as modern-day Benedict Arnolds. Their irresponsible behavior and betrayal put not only our National Security, but also our democracy at risk. The reason the President of the United States has such enormous power is that this position is directly responsible for protecting this country against the worst imaginable threats. A President of the United States may be confronted with making decisions that could impact every person on this planet. The President of the United States has the authority to launch a nuclear attack against our enemies. It is unthinkable to put such power in the hands of someone who lacks the mental capacity, character, and experience necessary to manage such power responsibly.

Joe Biden was given this power, even though the Democrat Party and the MSM knew, or should have known, that he was unqualified to manage the awesome responsibilities of this office. The coverup of Joe Biden has been shredded and even some people who thrived in maintaining the coverup are pretending they are also shocked. Only a fool dominated by Trump Derangement Syndrome would even consider believing them. It is now clear, that in addition to the obvious mental decline, Joe Biden has been seriously ill with prostate cancer for many years. No one even pretends that Joe Biden was remotely capable of being President, yet the coverup continued until Joe’s performance in that debate with Donald Trump made his mental incompetence too obvious for anyone to ignore.

Historically Speaking: Benedict Arnold tries to justify his treason

The Democrat Party and the MSM have been caught with eggs benedict all over their faces. Like Benedict Arnold, they betrayed us all and put the entire world at risk. Benedict Arnold never admitted to his mistake. Instead, he wrote an open letter to “the inhabitants of America.”

“Very few words, however, shall suffice on a subject so personal, for to the thousands who suffer under the tyranny of the usurpers in the revolted Provinces … as to that class of men who are criminally protracting the war from sinister views, at the expense of the public interest, I prefer their enmity to their applause.”

He stupidly thought people would ignore his treason and embrace the ridiculous. Sound familiar? It didn’t work. Instead, he was burned in effigy and his name became synonymous with treason and traitor.

New London’s Tradition of Burning Benedict Arnold…in Effigy – Who Knew? – Connecticut History | a CTHumanities Project

He escaped to England. He was not buried with military honors, although one of his descendants funded research that reached the conclusion that he actioned with pure intentions. Few bought that then and few buy it now.

Benedict Arnold’s London Residence – Atlas Obscura

Those who have eggs benedict all over their faces, do not deserve any praise, they are nothing more or less than traitors who committed treason. But perhaps, the more important question is: “if they were lying about this, what else were they lying about.” For years these same people told us that the big lie was Trump claiming the 2020 election was stolen. They routinely demanded people confirm that the 2020 election was valid. The sad reality is that this election was “ratified” before it was “verified.” The more we learn, the more questions raised. The only thing we know for sure, at this point, is who was lying about nearly everything, and who was not.

The most significant thing to remember about Benedict Arnold is that once he was exposed, no one ever trusted him again. That is exactly what people should learn from “eggs benedict.”

The Democrat dream team has produced a real nightmare. They had defeated Donald Trump and selected Joe Biden to be our Commander in Chief. It is now beyond obvious that he was never close to being qualified for the position. But that didn’t matter. He wasn’t Donald Trump and nothing else mattered.

But there was a problem. Joe was the problem. They successfully hid him during the 2020 campaign. They tried to hide him during his entire Presidency. Every appearance was carefully choreographed. If there were reporters involved, they were given written questions for which Joe had answers written for him by someone else. But the problem is that Joe is, well, Joe. The minute he went off script he started spouting nonsense and told ridiculous stories about personal accomplishments that were not only false, but they were also absurd. For example, he bragged about hitting a ball off the fence during a congressional baseball game. This was so absurd that even Snopes could not pretend this was close to accurate.

Did Biden Get a Mighty Hit at Congressional Baseball Game in the ’70s? | Snopes.com

Many people knew about the problems with Joe Biden. They all conspired to hide this the American people. Congressional Democrats expressed outrage if anyone dared question Biden’s mental acuity. We were constantly told he was as sharp as a tack. The fawning MSM went along with the cover-up. Then there was the famous debate with Donald Trump, and Joe was so horrible that the cover-up fell apart. It was too late to hold a real primary, so they were stuck with Kamala Harris, the ultimate DEI choice. Biden repeatedly said his VP would be a Black female. He chose Kamala Harris. The same Kamala Harris who was the first candidate to drop out of the 2020 Presidential primaries.

Recently there have been several people who decided to come clean regarding Biden’s mental decline. Of course they are lying about the timing, but at least they finally admit the decline is too obvious to ignore. This was bad enough, then the Hur tapes, where Biden was interviewed regarding his mishandling of classified files were released, and oh boy. All the usual suspects who trashed Hur and tried to pretend that Joe was still as sharp as a tack were exposed as total frauds.

Now Democrats are engaged in a circular firing squad, taking pot shots at each other. No one was buying this, so, in an act beyond desperation they disclosed that Joe Biden was also terminally ill with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Apparently, they thought the sympathy vote would overwhelm all the negativity. But they missed something big. His cancer is so advanced that he has had this for years. His medical providers are either incompetent or they conspired to hide this from the American people. While a lot of people are genuinely sad to see anyone with this prognosis, it does not detract from the cover-up regarding everything Joe Biden. In fact, it just makes the cover-up look even worse.

The only justification for any of this is Trump Derangement Syndrome. Biden was selected to be the candidate in 2020 for two reasons. One, he wasn’t Bernie Sanders. Two, the other candidates were so awful that it was decided Joe was the only one with a chance to beat Donald Trump. Qualifications for the job were not a consideration.

Democrats and the MSM has been lying about everything for years. They constantly misquoted Trump or took things out of context. They consistently covered up for Joe Biden. The lying about Trump has not changed, but they can’t even pretend that Joe Biden was remotely qualified. They just blame everything and everyone other than themselves. They consider themselves the “dream team” but they are just a nightmare.

The following article on MSN is a classic example of what is seriously wrong with the MSM. In their lust to trash Donald Trump, at any cost, they continue to distort reality. Whether this is simply the result of stupidity or is a continuing effort to put Democrats in power permanently, the effect is the same.

Retirees face potential 33% benefit cut under new tax plan; Here’s why

“While this might initially seem beneficial, experts warn it could lead to a significant reduction in Social Security benefits, potentially cutting them by 33% by 2035.”

Trump wants to eliminate tax on Social Security benefits because people who paid for Social Security Benefits, for years while being employed, should not be punished by continuing to pay taxes after retiring. Seems simple, but the MSM has somehow decided this will cause social security benefits to be cut by 2035.

Republicans have never cut Social Security benefits. Obama cut them, three times, by not approving a cost-of-living increase.

The following chart by AARP shows social security COLA increases by year:

History of Social Security COLA Increases by Year

2010 – Obama – 0

2011 – Obama – 0

2016 – Obama – 0

If Social Security runs out of money, the person most to blame was President William Jefferson Clinton. The following article from factcheck.org documents this.

The Budget and Deficit Under Clinton – FactCheck.org

“Clinton’s large budget surpluses also owe much to the Social Security tax on payrolls. Social Security taxes now bring in more than the cost of current benefits, and the “Social Security surplus” makes the total deficit or surplus figures look better than they would if Social Security weren’t a factor.”

This was ignored by the MSM. Republicans tried and failed to get Clinton to stop “Washington’s budget practice of stealing from the Social Security Trust Fund.”

GOP House leaders want Clinton to recommit to Social Security ‘lockbox’ – September 14, 1999

So once again the MSM, encouraged by irresponsible and deliberately misleading attacks by the increasingly left-wing Democrat Party, is falsely accusing Republicans of cutting Social Security. Once again, they ignored the person who deserves most of the blame, Bill Clinton. In fairness both Reagan and George H.W. Bush also spent part of the Social Security surplus. Bill Clinton just had more funds available, and he did this at the worst possible time. If a private insurance company managed money like Social Security the management would be lucky to avoid criminal prosecution.

Neither party should be proud of this, but at least Republicans tried to fix this in 1999, and they tried again in 2023.

As far as I can tell the strategy of the MSM and the Democrat Party is to focus on pointing fingers at Republicans, hoping no one will notice the real facts. The good news is that both the MSM and the Democrat Party have been caught lying too many times that fewer people buy this nonsense anymore. My sad prediction is that both parties will just kick the can down the road, hoping once again, that tomorrow never comes. Or perhaps, more accurately, that if tomorrow comes it will be “someone else’s problem”
