We are watching, in real-time, a palace revolution, an overt effort to remove the president of the United States. Just as James Comey proudly admitted he leaked privileged communication to the press, so these insurgents brazenly brag that they want to harm the president, to impeach him, to overthrow our government. The American people seem shockingly oblivious to the looming danger.
How did we get here? Well, let's give credit where credit's due: the left has its ducks in a row. Leftists are carrying out a carefully planned, well executed plot to take control of our government.
Oh, it's not soldiers bursting through the White House gates to forcefully remove the president, or, as the left says, not yet. No, they're using a form of behavior therapy, systematic desensitization, to numb the American people to their insurgence.

It’s all about keeping in place the 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders to change the demographic makeup of the country.
Thanks for posting this explanation of why the Republic is done, if we don’t fight.
Part ofthe left includes a very latge chunck of Republican leaders in both houses as well as the RNC, RNCC and the RNSC.....
Right.
It’s high time we use every opportunity to protect our Bill of Rights, our Constitution, our way of life.
Every little and large attempt to hurt our American democracy should be pushed back.
How about some kindness. How about Love Trumps Hate??
Let’s give credit where it is due. The GOP has let them.
The Deep State NeverTrump kakistocrats and NeverTrump Demonicrats should be arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced for sedition.
Can’t disagree with that. Time to expel the GOPe.
I wish I trusted Jeff Sessions to do more of that.
I was thinking something like “Love Trump, Love the Constitution.”
It is not all Democrat. The neocon scum are just as culpable.
Finally, someone telling it like it is....HIGH TREASON on display with the tacit consent of the entire corrupted fed govt—cheered on by the fakestream media.
Today's liberals, especially these so-called "progressives," with all of their domination of academia and Far Left politics, seem to fit into a category described in an essay by T.S. Eliot on Virgil:
"In our time, when men seem more than ever to confuse wisdom with knowledge and knowledge with information and to try to solve the problems of life in terms of engineering, there is coming into existence a new kind of provincialism which perhaps deserves a new name. It is a provincialism not of space but of time--one for which history is merely a chronicle of human devices which have served their turn and have been scrapped, one for which the world is the property solely of the living, a property in which the dead hold no share."(Bold added for emphasis)
Without intellectual anchoring in the enduring ideas which provided the philosophical foundation of America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution, their vain imaginations of superiority only expose their limited world view.
Yet, the America which rose from obscurity to greatness, from crude hoes and axes to putting a man on the moon, and from oppression by King George to a symbol of liberty for millions all over the world--that America provides shelter for them, even as they attempt to "change" her into something unimagined by the Founders.
If they are allowed to succeed in their own little provincial experiment, their posterity never will know the "blessings of Liberty" proclaimed by the Preamble to America's Constitution.
Now would be a good time for conservatives to read Dr. Russell Kirk's "The Conservative Mind, which can be read online, by the way.
In Kirk's last chapter he reviews the works of poets and writers, quoting lines which now seem to bear a strikinig resemblance to the players on the stage in American politics today.
For instance, in Robert Frost's "A Case for Jefferson," Frost writes of the character Harrison:
"Harrison loves my country too
But wants it all made over new.
. . . .
He dotes on Saturday pork and beans.
But his mind is hardly out of his teens.
With him the love of country means
Blowing it all to smithereens
And having it made over new."
Yes, the pseudointellectuals who occupy the White House, the media, and much of Congress fancy themselves "intellectuals."
By their words and actions, however, they display that provinciality Dr. Kirk recalls as having been described by T. S. Eliot (see above) as being one of time and place, having no intellectual grounding in ideas older than their own little experience in dabbling and discussing Mao, Marx, and other theoreticians.
America's written Constitution deserves protectors whose minds are out of their "teens" in terms of their understanding of civilization's long struggle for liberty.
It certainly deserves protectors who do not consider it a "flawed" document because that Constitution does not permit the government it structures to run rough shod over the rights of its "KEEPERS, the People" (Justice Story).
Blasting it "all to smithereens" seems to be the goal of the Far Left which, until the recent election, had control of the Executive and Legislative branches of the government. Even now, there are enough "progressive" regressives who are convinced they can overturn the decision of "We, the People."
They, and all their fellows, rely on what they must believe to be the ignorance of the American people when they make such ridiculous claims. They have been outwitted, however, by an increasingly knowledgeable citizenry who are using the miracles of technology to study for themselves ancient and modern writings on the ideas of liberty versus those of tyranny. As Jefferson wisely observed:
"History, by apprising the people of the past, will enable them to judge of the future; it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views."
“Let’s give credit where it is due. The GOP has let them.”
You NAILED it.
Democrats/socialists/communists do what they do. Had the GOP said NO, fought, prosecuted when warranted, the slimy left would back down.
But they’ve been allowed to succeed in crime and wrong doing for decades now..
DC just will NOT police itself any more.
I believe eventually it’ll be up to the citizens.
Oh, many of us are well aware of it.
And gas-lighting us by lying and ignoring reality.
My worry is that Trump has no real allies in power, only the deplorables who elected him.
A part of the problem with treasonous activities going on in DC is that corrupt Congress isn’t lifting a finger to do anything about treason imo. This is evidenced by many unconstitutional things that Congress let the lawless Obama Administration get away with doing.
That’s why patriots need to give Pres. Trump as much of a new, Trump-supporting Congress as they can in 2018.
Also consider that when the states wake up and repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, they might want to include a provision in the repeal amendment that does the following.
The provision would give the states the power to impeach and remove bad-apple “leaders” from federal office since career federal lawmakers cannot be trusted to do the job.
Since Jane Fonda went to Vietnam, we have accepted that there is no such thing as Treason.
The founders place the bar for treason high for a reason, but...when you place the bar so high it cannot be applied, then it doesn’t have any meaning.
The other side is down to one angry old man - Mueller - who will soon report to a millennial conservative woman - Rachel Brand.
That's all he's got. The cutout who was supposed to take down Trump - Comey - is gone.
They're on their last legs.
