By sending weapons to Ukraine are we just prolonging the suffering? If he wasn’t getting $13 billion in weapons and cash from The Big Guy, would Zelensky have made peace a week ago?
And how much of that $13 billion is going to end up Hunter’s nose and the DNC’s bank account?
Can you imagine if Don Jr was even 1/10th the scumbag Hunter is? The media would rant about nothing else.
Good morning, lysie!
No need to apologize for not getting back to all of us, I blame DST as I know you are off doing your thing by the time I join the TFT each morning.
Lovely breakfast, thank you.
I am not surprised.
I'll bet many people on the right have been spied on.
We know the President was.
The out of control Federal prosecutors need to be prosecuted themselves along with the DOJ.
So many law students don’t believe in free speech.
Seems about right after the indoctrination they have been receiving.
I have heard many calls for the abolishing of Yale Law School but I don’t believe that will fix the problem.
It has taken years to get to this point, will take many years to correct it.

Hunter Biden’s laptop would have sunk Joe Biden’s election.
The DC newsrooms knew it. They covered it up.
This is a total crisis for the US media.— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) March 18, 2022
I think Biden still would have won - they just would have had to cheat even more than they did.
Morning, Gran...and, TFT.
I agree w/Grenell....that laptop from h3ll was given a total cover up/distraction by the lying media, and, they pushed their FALSE narratives, about RPOTUS Trump, over and over, to cover their steal.
Yes, no matter what the fix was in and they will do it again.
Why do you think that the the LSM is reporting on Hunter’s laptop now?
Is it that they don’t want Bye-done to run again or they want to get rid of him now?
Good morning, Jane!
Heard that a special prosecutor has been appointed in Delaware to look into Hunter’s and Joe’s business dealings.
Why now?
More distraction and kabuki theater, I’m afraid.
OK, so now, 18 months later, everyone is admitting the Hunter Biden laptop is real. Why? Why admit it is now? Obviously initial denial was to influence 2020 elections. But why now? Was it because unavoidable? Is it because they know Oatmeal for Brains is untenable as POTUS?— Ned Ryun (@nedryun) March 18, 2022
Because you know the propagandists never want to admit they’re wrong. It just appears to me that by acknowledging the lap top is real the propagandists have acknowledged open season on Grandpa Dementia’s corruption. . . We’ll see what happens.
Every Biden voter is responsible for what's happening in Ukraine.
Every Biden voter is responsible for our border invasion.
Every Biden voter is responsible for soaring gas prices.
Every Biden voter is responsible for runaway inflation.
This historical disaster is on you.— Catturd ™ (@catturd2) March 18, 2022
WHOAAAAAA.
What she said!!
Thanks lysie, just great looking.
Been up a few times during the night to chase ducks out of pool, wearing me out, they didn’t show till about 6:30 this morning when I wasn’t looking, lol.
Have a great day everyone.
Having a friend over today that I haven’t seen in a few years because of the Virus.
Everyone have a good day unless someone get us blown off the face of the earth.
God Bless Our America!!!
Now You’re Talking: Trump Offers a Proposal to Destroy the Deep State-”The Deep State must be brought to heel.”
Fri Mar 18, 2022
Robert Spencer
Virtually all Americans believed, until the inauguration of Donald Trump as president on January 20, 2017, that when someone became president, he could begin to implement his agenda. Certainly Old Joe Biden’s handlers have done so with a vengeance since they took over; but when Trump became president, he immediately began to encounter resistance from entrenched members of the government bureaucracy who refused to do as he ordered. Some worked actively against Trump, while the establishment media assured us that these self-appointed “deep state” saboteurs were the courageous guardians of “our democracy.” At his South Carolina rally Saturday night, Trump continued to tease a 2024 run and made a new promise about how he would break the power of the unelected “deep state.”
“We will pass critical reforms,” Trump said, “making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States. The deep state must and will be brought to heel.”
It’s a commonsensical solution, as Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance pointed out. “Everyone is losing their mind about this, but I’ve been calling for it at every town hall I do. Either the president controls the executive branch or he doesn’t. If he doesn’t, we don’t live in a Republic, we live in a civil service driven oligarchy.”
Quite so. And although the “deep state” only came to the attention of most Americans over the last few years, the controversy over the hiring and firing of civil service employees is one of the oldest controversies of the republic. As Rating America’s Presidents explains, Andrew Jackson was elected president in 1828 on promises to end the hegemony of a privileged aristocracy, and, to drain that swamp, he would need his own men in key positions. He removed a large number of civil service employees and replaced them with men of his own faction, which came to be known as the Democracy, or Democratic Party. This came to be known as the spoils system, after the old adage “To the victor belong the spoils.”
The term “spoils system” is today practically synonymous with government corruption, but Jackson began it as a blow against corruption, preventing the establishment of an entrenched bureaucracy that would oppose the president. The Trump administration made it clear that such a bureaucracy, determined to thwart the president at every turn, is a genuine concern; it is time for a reconsideration of the spoils system.
The spoils system essentially died with the assassination of President James A. Garfield in 1881. Garfield believed that the spoils system was an unending source of government corruption and pushed for measures that would end it, only to be shot by a man who publicly proclaimed that he was doing so because he belonged to the faction of the Republican party, the Stalwarts, that supported the spoils system. Garfield’s successor, Chester Arthur, was a Stalwart, but he demonstrated immense personal courage and honor in choosing to carry out the wishes of his slain predecessor rather than implement his own contrary agenda. His decision to do this effectively ended his political career, as he almost certainly knew it would, and yet he stood firm.
Whether his stance was entirely wise in the long run, however, is a separate question. Historians take for granted that civil service reform was good for the country, and there has been no significant indication that it wasn’t until quite recently, when a president was thwarted in numerous endeavors by an army of unelected bureaucrats within the various departments and agencies of the government, who were determined to impede his agenda in every way possible.
The proponents of civil service reform never envisioned a situation in which unelected and unaccountable opponents of a sitting president in the FBI, the Justice Department, and elsewhere would be determined to destroy the president — or at the very least make it impossible for him to carry out his policies — and could not be removed from their jobs because of civil service regulations.
Wouldn’t government work more smoothly, and the executive branch be able to operate more effectively in the way the Founding Fathers envisioned it would, if the president were able to clear out the employees of these agencies who opposed him and replace them with people more in line with his vision?
The spoils system has no defenders today, and has had none for over a century. It should have more. Trump is on the right track.
