The Supreme Court Has Uprooted the Deep State

Something quite monumental happened yesterday, and I’m going to write about it.

All the daily political antagonism is mostly just an eye-roll and a yawn to me. I never engage in the social media back-and-forth over it because that’s for stupid people—people who don’t really look at the long swath of history in anything. They just go by what happened today. I never do that. But what happened yesterday is truly monumental.

What happened yesterday is that the Supreme Court of these United States did something so profound that it should be addressed, understood, and more importantly, grasped in full context. You see, what’s been going on for all these decades has a root. It has a root cause.

A lot of people are pretty sound in their thinking about what these United States were about from the outset—freedom, autonomy, and all the good things that resulted in the greatest civilization this planet has ever produced. But at the same time, they get mired in minutia. If you look at the record, if you look at the history, you can trace back this thing we call the deep state, which really means the Democratic Party state. That’s all it has ever been for 100 years, since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

What happened back then was to cartelize the powers of the presidency in such a way that there were more than a dozen branches of the executive branch of the federal government—where the president is the CEO—that he cannot touch. This was the birth, the rooting in, of the deep state. And no Republican has ever been able to do a damn thing about it, because those branches of the federal government have been solidly Democrat Party for 100 years. It was always a counterweight against any Republican elected president. Even Ronald Reagan was impotent to do anything about it.

Republican presidents have had to be clever, whereas Democrat presidents just sail along because the entire federal apparatus is Democrat Party—Democrat personnel, Democrat policy, Democrat narrative. It took Trump to finally kill this thing. And kill it he did. Trump is going to go down as the most effective president in the entire history of America. And it’s fitting that it comes right on the country’s 250-year birthday.

Let me delve deeper.

Back when I was waking up to politics as a teenager and then a young adult, one thing always gave me pause. I understood separation of powers. I understood basic civics, which almost nobody does anymore. So I wondered: why can’t the president hire and fire the people who work within the vast executive apparatus of the federal government? The federal government has three branches—executive, judicial, and legislative—so why does the legislative branch, and often the judicial, always try to hamstring the president?

Can’t he have free rein over the executive branch in the same way the other branches operate within their own domains? If you don’t like the man, he only gets two terms. Vote him out and get someone else. But the real case, in my own estimation, is that Democrats are evil. Democrats are parasitic. Hard-core Democrats never make money on their own. They don’t create things that generate wealth. Democrats get into office and then make money because they hold office.

Ponder that. Most Republicans with money made it on their own before entering politics. I’m sure there are exceptions, but generally Democrats are parasites. They rise from the bottom as parasites, feed on what exists, and once they grab a spot in the federal government and hold office, someone with no money suddenly gets elected and within a couple of years they’re multimillionaires. Go figure. That’s how Democrats work. Democrats are evil. Democrats are parasites. And that is exactly what the whole deep state swamp is about.

There are plenty of Republican participants in it too. The beautiful part is that this encompasses the Republicans In Name Only as well—the RINOs. A big part of Republican officeholders are just as parasitic, and I’ll be glad to see them go down too.

Let’s see how this plays out.

If you would like a more thorough and comprehensive analysis, none better than Jeff Childers.

    After reading this, I was wondering if these changes would allow Trump to finally do something about the California Coastal Commission. Turns out he’s already on the task.

    I do read Jeff Childers every day, and so I did see his analysis of this decision, but yours is a nice summary.

    I agree–Democrats are complete idiots and leeches. They are out to destroy America.
