Screwed Again?

     When Donald Trump got elected many of us felt it was possible, just possible, that the Deep State might have been on the way out. In retrospect I think we should have known better. The Deep State, in one form or another, has been around since the Lincoln administration and we should have realized that it ain’t going away anytime soon. That doesn’t mean we should quit fighting and just go fishin’ rather it means that the struggle will be longer than we thought it would and, therefore, our perseverance needs to be greater. The Deep State is evil and needs to be resisted.
     When Trump got to Washington he was surrounded by Trotskyite Neo-cons and left-over Obama supporters who stayed around in the hope of sabotaging his efforts, and mostly they did a fair job of that. He’s gotten rid of a few but he’s got far, far to go in decimating their ranks while they continue to try to cut his political throat.
     He’s made a handful of good appointments and a whole batch of lousy ones and he’s gotten lots of bad advice from people that, quite frankly, have a vested political interest in taking him down. We should pray for Trump, and for his political discernment because this is an area he struggles in.
     I have watched as he appointed various people to different sensitive posts and watched as they worked to undermine his efforts and he eventually had to remove them–only to reach out and appoint another one just like the one he just got rid of and the process starts all over again. CFR member H. R. McMaster and some of the generals he appointed after McMaster come to mind.
     I was thoroughly disgusted with Jeff Sessions who, when appointed Attorney General, basically abdicated his authority to the members of the Deep State in the Justice Department so they could go after Trump. Sessions sat it out. It was almost like the Deep State operatives said to him “Just stay out of our way and we won’t bother you.” He stayed out of their way and Deep Stater Rod Rosenberg ran the Justice Department until Trump appointed Whitaker as interim Attorney General. Whitaker seemed like a good choice, but he was only an interim appointment. Now Trump has finally nominated his replacement, William Barr.
     Most folks probably don’t know too much about Mr. Barr, I didn’t. But a little browsing on the internet turned up the following on https://needtoknow.news   It seems that, according to political analyst G. Edward Griffin: “Barr says he will not hinder or interfere with the Mueller investigation, despite the damage it has done to the President and despite its failure to produce proof of Russian collusion. Barr and Mueller–and their wives–are close friends.  Mueller attended the weddings of Barr’s children.”
     That briefly tells you pretty much what’s going on. If confirmed as Attorney General, Mr. Barr is going to let Mueller continue with Deep State business as usual and nothing will change. Trump has nominated yet another probable Deep State operative that will do him and his agenda no good and possibly lots of harm. I’d be almost tempted to ask, “Where does he get these people?” but unfortunately, I already know. You could almost wonder if Trump has a “death wish” because he keeps nominating or appointing people that will do him and his America First agenda no good whatever. And when one of them finally folds and shows his hand, he ends up appointing another one of the same stripes. So, I ask the question that is the title of this article–why do I get the feeling we are about to be screwed again? Trump rails against the Deep State–but he appoints all their people to positions when they can work against his efforts. Folks, something is wrong here.
