The more apropos question would be what would President Washington think of the Deep State? He would recognize it as unconstitutional. So would President Eisenhower, he'd be pissed that we did not listen to him. President Trump is doing the dirty work that President Kennedy wanted to get to.

He’s giving them more money than they ever had before. That’s not shrinking the deep state, it’s growing it.

Trump has ignored the Constitution. He took an oath to uphold it, but he must have had his fingers crossed behind his back, because he’s shredded it. And he’s done it all for Israel.

DBC's avatar

Specifically, how has he shredded it? SCOTUS is there and the left loves to litigate - they'd be litigating with Scotus, if he were shredding it.

Not saying the guy is squeaky clean. Hell, Joe fired up the fascist censorship machine, the mandate world for cv jabs, residing over an admin, that fleeced the taxpayers for special interests (gay pride & lgbtq) training in Peru, money going to countries to support the gay and trans agenda's... USAID money going to 4,000 + media outlets, to carry the WH & WEF narratives.... Oh, and Joe let millions of unvetted illegal aliens into our country,.

Sick of the one-liner headline attacks on the current Potus - that's never backed up with reasoning or facts.

My ears are open.

Waging war without a declaration from Congress is the most recent example. Many have argued other previous Presidents got away with it, so it must be okay for Trump to do it now. That’s like saying many drivers never got stopped and ticketed for speeding, so it’s okay for everyone to speed now. The law is the law until it is repealed. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Our federal branch of government has three branches forming a system of checks and balances, each upon the others. What we have today is a failure of all three branches to uphold the oath they all had to swear upon acceptance of their office to support and defend the Constitution.

DBC's avatar

Scotus rules. Tough to shred, when Scotus gets involved.

Joe's avatar

That's a moldy oldie!

If Congress really cared, they'd do something about it.

But, as usual, you've got nothing.

The last two Presidents trampled all over the Constitution.

The current President upholds the Constitution and follows it as evidenced by him NOT doing all the things his detractors have been screaming he would do when he became President - like declare martial law, declare himself President for life, etc.

Jack Bergeron's avatar

It’s not just the Presidents, past and present, it’s also Congress and SCOTUS who trample the Constitution. If Trump ever aspires to be remembered as a great President he should heed the greatest President’s advice as John rewrote here. Asians and Europeans have fought amongst themselves for millennia. George Washington studied the history and witnessed it in his life time. Trump should be so wise.

Do you think that Trump and Joe Biden were making these decisions? They are mere puppets for the Jewish establishment.

Please ask me to prove this

DBC's avatar

LOL, yes - Rothschild, Rockefellers, et al... saw Rockefeller jabbing his finger into the chest of then, Prince Charles.

I get it. I refuse to believe Trump is a puppet of the deep state and the globalist ho's. He's dropped us out of the WHO, flipped the bird to the IPCC and the general WEF crowd...

Not the actions of the previous potus puppets.

So, you got me -- a few examples are welcome... there's something very fishy about 10/7/23.... the best defenses on planet earth - and 17 entry points breached, same day?

The deep WEF world is crumbling, it has BlackRock backing away from DEI & ESG... Zuckerbucks admitting the fascist censorship pressure put on by the Joe WH.

Israel, shoulder shrug.

Lay it on me....

Gayla's avatar

No question that our presidents of the last 60 years, as well as Congress, is beholden to the zionists lobbyists. Pat Buchanon was speaking about that being so, even in the 90s.

I believe that focusing on the cost of fuel is extremely shortsighted. The Shiite Islamic government of Iran has been seeking the destruction of the US for years, and has focused their resources on developing the weapon systems to attack the US and its allies. I believe if one understands the belief system driving the Shiite jihadist government of Iran, perspectives would radically alter. A short to mid-term rise in the cost of fuel is well worth protecting our children from the horrors of war reaching our shores.

pyrrhus's avatar

Bunk...The US and UK overthrew the elected Iranian government in 1953, installed the unpopular Shah and his murderous Savak, and had plans to overturn the Iranian revolution...Iran has to defend itself constantly because the West wants cheap oil and will do anything to get it....

Harry Mathis's avatar

I believe that had not President Trump taken this action, Iran would have a nuclear tipped ICBM launched on both Israel and the USA within a year.

Jack Bergeron's avatar

I was told by our government, specifically Trump, operation “Midnight Hammer” conducted in June of 2025 destroyed Iran’s capability to produce nuclear weapons. Were we lied to then? Secretary of State Rubio stated we attacked Iran because Israel was going to attack Iran with or without us and our troops would face imminent threat of retaliation from Iran. Somebody please tell me why we have troops still stationed in the Middle East in harm’s way. I suspect they are there to protect the interests of Israel, multinational oil companies and the petrodollar. Is this what we want to sacrifice our youths’ lives for? We are warring against an ideology that is centuries old. We are fools to believe we can do anything to change that ideology.

You like to cite history. Do some research on the Barbary Pirates and the Battle of Derna (1805). US trade ships were being attacked by the Muslim Barbary Pirates and despite numerous negotiations the pirates could never be trusted to uphold a peace deal. The parallels to today's conflict with Iran are strikingly familiar. George Washington would be proud of Thomas Jefferson and the US Marines.

John Leake's avatar

US ships being attacked by Barbary Pirates. Were US ships attacked by Iranian pirates?

Mike Bond's avatar

Yes, soldiers, sailors and Marines were killed by Iranian pirates. You are joking I assume.

The British at the beginning of the quest for oil entered into Iran and developed the oil industry there. The Iranian people benefitted little from the sale of their natural resources. The United States has meddled in Iran’s internal affairs to keep the oil flowing at the benefit of the multinational oil companies and not the Iranian people. Our meddling in other countries’ affairs has created most of the problems we face today. Ukraine is another more recent example.

Why do we still have troops in the Middle East and whose interests do they serve?

You like to draw conclusions from history, yet miss history repeating itself. Barbary Pirates attacking relentlessly until we fight back. Iran relentlessly attacking us and declaring "Death to America" until we fight back. Your credibility as an objective scholar is shaken in my mind.

Kurt's avatar

Look at the bigger picture:

Venezueala is no longer running drugs and financing terror. Game over

Cuba is no longer exporting terror and their communist government is open to capitalist investment. Game over.

Iran is facing economic collapse, totally isolated, with no allies offering significant support. Even the Palestinians support Saudi Arabia against Iran. China and Russia are cutting their losses. The currency is basically worthless. Once the IRGC can’t pay their troops it ends in short order.

Washington would have thought he's an Israeli puppet, because he is.

Here in Canada, British Columbia Vancouver Island we are at $2.60 Canadian a liter for diesel and 2.10 a liter for regular gas.

The Great Santini's avatar

Multiply by 3.79, so your regular is $7.96 USD/GAL…in expensive US Norther Virginia it’s less than $3.90. Wonder what Leake had to say when Biden had it over $5/GAL.

Trump is following the depopulation agenda, obviously. He is for genocide of billions, for $billions.

Ask the Iranian nationals who have been dancing in the streets all over the world. The women finally able to ditch their burkas and hijabs, who have been arrested and raped by their muslim overseers.

Mark Wayne's avatar

I will ask my Persian friends in Iran. The American regime needs to be overthrown, no doubt.

GW "....where no real common interest exists..."

Pretty sure, GW wasn't calculating the threats of ballistic missiles.

Isolation won't work, in today's world.

Jack Bergeron's avatar

Most of the issues we face today are a direct result of our meddling in other countries’ affairs. Iran and Ukraine are the two more recent examples. This is what Washington advised us not to do.

DBC's avatar

GW didn't/couldn't calculate the threat of ballistic missiles, nukes and the like. The threats stretch across the globe.

Agreed on Ukraine -- the deep state forced that fleecing of The U.S. taxpayer. WEF had the Biden admin, wrapped around their finger. 100's of thousands of dead Ukrainians w/ millions displaced... and we paid !$175B for... what? answer; WEF De-pop agenda.

Trump, 180 degrees, the opposite. When a ME country that hates your culture - that wants to end your culture, threatens our negotiators with 11 nukes in a few weeks - the smart leader reacts.

pyrrhus's avatar

The bankers and the otherwise wealthy managed to overturn the simple non-alignment position of the first few Presidents...Their enemy Jackson then ended the Bank of the United States, but along came Abe Lincoln who trashed the entire Constitution for a war that killed 10% of the American people....

I wrote this 7 years ago after God showed me what was coming: the covid lie, just as He has shown me everything, all my life, long before it happened, and so, this is just one of many poems, that I've written about these things, truly:

03/20/2019

The Patriot’s Call for Today!

I

As it was in their own day, our Washington, & Jefferson, knew the sounds

That we all gather to today, with love of our God, Who so blessed our earth,

We are all called to arms, for we know our love of country, without bounds!

To this sound, we quietly and steadily march, hallowed streets of our birth

As we bring to those who’ve so callously betrayed our trust, those Holy grounds

Lauding merits of our resolve, viewed by what’s stolen from our children’s worth!

It’s time we seek to remedy in noble causes: what lies in justice, truly abounds!

To unfurl what God renews, our struggle begins in Light, and in knowing Truth!

Arm in arm, each heart is born in another: for we’ll unite, standing all together

Because stronger as One, our love for each other, is stronger than all their hate,

And if we will only but see this through, then it’s true, we will win, and weather

More than all they can muster, for even in their bluster, we still hold the gate!

Open, it leads us to what freedom saved, when we awoke, & grabbed our leather

To strike a certain blow for freedoms sake: it is right on time, and never too late

To answer the Patriot’s call today, in arising to fulfill our shared dreams promise,

When We the People fight for what’s true today, not false promises, at a later date!

After the corrupted stealthily stole, taking our real value and replacing it with debt,

Then telling us that all the blood of ours that they had spilled, had no true meaning,

We sweat from weeping, while elitist classes clink their glasses, filled with our tears,

And though we support these classless asses, they treat us with airs, so demeaning

And to top it all off, our stolen babies cry out: Blood of the Innocents, they’ll regret

When we round them up and make them pay, though not in cold blood screaming

Like they, but instead, we’ll make them look at the loss in them, voided by their bet!

Locking them up, where they can sup on each other, their own blood, now streaming

For We in Our Time, Will Also Know

II

The conditions that will cause the people to march for freedom, & make

Secretive cabals of tyrants quiver, as our arrows point which knees bow

Before God’s People! United we will make the enemies of freedom quake!

If they challenge our resolve: our Light will send their darkness down low!!

As we grow beyond any uncertainty: Our Truth will be plainly spoken…

When those liars confuse, we move beyond, beyond a corruption bereft

Of any notion that our country’s worth saving, with a fealty that’s token,

Denying that conservatism is to simply preserve, not to destroy what’s left!

So our challenge still remains, that true patriot’s must deny their platitudes

In its empty weight, of seemingly hollow collectives, parroting out in chorus,

Serving no useful purpose other than to demonstrate their reckless attitudes,

All of which contains too many false arguments, which are so clearly porous…

When instead, we should all be dreaming of a better world, a better nature

That could have inspired, the Left has now instead mired us in endless division,

Where those socialist liars in their echo chambers, lacking a Blessed Purpose,

Cannot see their future denies God’s Sovereignty, with its opaquely dark vision.

I’m not alone in saying, there’s a collective experience we Americans all share:

The pride of our care, a pride that’s grounded in our Rights, & our Constitution,

Guided by Our Lord, Who inspired it; we’re baffled, that these traitors now dare

With their hate, to try and destroy, what the People would create for our solution!

We, the Patriot’s, will persevere, no matter how many the enemies of God delude,

For in our Light, the Light Above, we will fight for Freedom’s Cause: to gladly cherish

Commandments which are our Guiding Light, a Light that’s God, will faithfully include

All those we touch with our life: a shared out Heart, Light in Him, that’ll never perish!

by Joaquin Miguel Balassa

There is an answer to the darkness: do not live in shadows, believing in a lie. Have the courage to not just not believe in the Truth, but to stand against these lies that the demonically possessed spread, have the courage to stand against the darkness and it's lies, in everything you say, everything you do, fearlessly, by always being authentic, faithful and true: stand up for the Light, stand for His Love and Light, and stand for His Truth, too.... It is the way out of this darkness. Truly.

More International Trump hatred from the left. Trump does not set oil prices, the leftists don't say a word about Iran murdering 30,000 of it own citizens, but when gas goes up the left comes out.

Iran has killed hundreds of our military through proxy terrorist funding, quit whining, they are getting what we should have given them during the leftist Jimmy Carter love fest.

Most of the world’s fertilizer is produced from natural gas and oil. When the price of those commodities rise so does the cost of fertilizers. The ramifications of this undeclared war will have long term deleterious effects upon the entire world as the food supplies diminish. We think food is expensive now, wait until this autumn and see what you pay for a loaf of bread, if you can actually buy one.

Die Untermensche's avatar

I cannot avoid the suspicion now that the powers that be initiated this war - one that cannot be won - to advance their long planned dystopia. All supply chains collapse, fuel skyrocket, no personal cars, no jet travel, no fertilizer equals famine, hunger to bring the useless eaters into line. Rationing, digital ID, etc.

You know what else famine brings? Violent overthrow of the architects of these plans. People understand who is really to blame.

One doesn't have to dislike the blue states to like the red states or Trump. I dislike all of it and all of them -xept for a few people. I detest wars. The US invasions of 1989 were wrong as were the invasions of 1Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Cuba, Iraq, Syria and on and on. FDR knew of Pearl Harbor before it occurred. Wars are the evil of human beings for power, control, wealth. Attacking Iran was no different. Mistakes and lots of them on both sides of the isle.
