President Trump may be chief of state, head of government and commander in chief, but his administration is shot through with disloyalists plotting to bring him down.
We are approaching something of a civil war where the capital city seeks the overthrow of the sovereign and its own restoration.
Thus far, it is a nonviolent struggle, though street clashes between pro- and anti-Trump forces are increasingly marked by fistfights and brawls. Police are having difficulty keeping people apart. A few have been arrested carrying concealed weapons.
That the objective of this city is to bring Trump down via a deep state-media coup is no secret. Few deny it.
Last week, fired Director of the FBI James Comey, a successor to J. Edgar Hoover, admitted under oath that he used a cutout to leak to The New York Times an Oval Office conversation with the president.
Goal: have the Times story trigger the appointment of a special prosecutor to bring down the president.
Comey wanted a special prosecutor to target Trump, despite his knowledge, from his own FBI investigation, that Trump was innocent of the pervasive charge that he colluded with the Kremlin in the hacking of the DNC.
Comey's deceit was designed to enlist the police powers of the state to bring down his president. And it worked. For the special counsel named, with broad powers to pursue Trump, is Comey's friend and predecessor at the FBI, Robert Mueller.
As Newt Gingrich said Sunday: "Look at who Mueller's starting to hire. ... (T)hese are people that ... look to me like they're ... setting up to go after Trump ... including people, by the way, who have been reprimanded for hiding from the defense information into major cases. ...
"This is going to be a witch hunt."
Another example. According to Daily Kos, Trump planned a swift lifting of sanctions on Russia after inauguration and a summit meeting with Vladimir Putin to prevent a second Cold War.
The State Department was tasked with working out the details.
Instead, says Daniel Fried, the coordinator for sanctions policy, he received "panicky" calls of "Please, my God, can you stop this?"
Operatives at State, disloyal to the president and hostile to the Russia policy on which he had been elected, collaborated with elements in Congress to sabotage any detente. They succeeded.
"It would have been a win-win for Moscow," said Tom Malinowski of State, who boasted last week of his role in blocking a rapprochement with Russia. State employees sabotaged one of the principal policies for which Americans had voted, and they substituted their own.
Not in memory have there been so many leaks to injure a president from within his own government, and not just political leaks, but leaks of confidential, classified and secret documents. The leaks are coming out of the supposedly secure investigative and intelligence agencies of the U.S. government. The media, the beneficiaries of these leaks, are giving cover to those breaking the law. The real criminal "collusion" in Washington is between Big Media and the deep state, colluding to destroy a president they detest and to sink the policies they oppose.
Yet another example is the unfolding "unmasking" scandal.
While all the evidence is not yet in, it appears an abnormal number of conversations between Trump associates and Russians were intercepted by U.S. intelligence agencies.
On orders higher up, the conversations were transcribed, and, contrary to law, the names of Trump associates unmasked.
Then those transcripts, with names revealed, were spread to all 16 agencies of the intel community at the direction of Susan Rice, and with the possible knowledge of Barack Obama, assuring some would be leaked after Trump became president.
The leak of Gen. Michael Flynn's conversation with the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, after Obama imposed sanctions on Russia for the hacking of the DNC, may have been a product of the unmasking operation. The media hit on Flynn cost him the National Security Council post.
Trump has had many accomplishments since his election. Yet his enemies in the media and their deep state allies have often made a purgatory of his presidency.
What he and his White House need to understand is that this is not going to end, that this is a fight to the finish, that his enemies will not relent until they see him impeached or resigning in disgrace.
To prevail, Trump will have to campaign across this country and wage guerrilla war in this capital, using the legal and political weapons at his disposal to ferret out the enemies within his own government.
Not only is this battle essential, if Trump hopes to realize his agenda, it is winnable. For the people sense that the Beltway elites are cynically engaged in preserving their own privileges, positions and power.
If the president cannot rewrite Obamacare or achieve tax reform, he should not go around the country in 2018 wailing about Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer. They are not the real adversaries. They are but interchangeable parts.
He should campaign against the real enemies of America First by promising to purge the deep state and flog its media collaborators.
Time to burn down the Bastille.
transfer all affected state and other department personnel immediately to mcmurdo sound, where they will be scheduled for their free though mandatory transgender operations.
State lines will mean NOTHING!
Think Africa, Latin America, Sarajevo.
Come CW II, the front line will be your front door!
Short answer, Yes, and have been for some time.
I am of the opinion that we can no longer avoid a civil war. It has become a situation of when, not if.
Thanks for giving perspective
My father said that repeatedly in the years before he died.
Notable point. Our modern subverted left is all show because they are less and less go. The snake that hisses is not the deadly one.
Neither Buchanan nor Lincoln asked for John Brown to raid Harper’s Ferry, but 2 years later Union soldiers were marching to the tune of “John Brown’s Body”.
Yesterday my son and his wife had 7 rounds fired into his house at 5:30 AM in a city in peaceful ole Iowa. The cops suspect it was due to an American flag being flown and a retired police car parked in front of the house.
No one hurt but $2000 physical damage a lot of anger.
PS. this is one of who knows how many incidents that will not go public ot the media.
Yes, timing is critical. Right now, identifying major players around me who are responsible for this mess. That is a correct step at this time.

But as I observed biblically that is untrue.
While you are plotting, Donald is working in spite of the bad and the ugly.
“By the grace of God, fallen we are not serving pure Satan now. That is what we deserve!”
Maybe you’re right, I don’t know. All I do know is that American society has gone right off its rocker and something has got to give.
I don’t think our strong President is asking for that kind of help. I think we can help him by being vocal in our support for him and finding every non-violent means possible to go after his enemies. We just need to slow them down and make them think twice before they interfere—that will give him the time he needs to accomplish change.
“We are in one...just no one is shooting yet.”
We are in one and the only reason there is no shooting yet is because they know we have them massively outgunned.
I am more concerned how many ways conservatives hate the bible. God considers treason worse than outright frank enmity.
That's crazy talk. States right is the answer.
Humanity went off its rocker in the Garden. What rocker America ever had was given by pure grace. We ought to fear the Lord. Speaking of US before our neighbors!
I agree....the this is a great idea.
