Rich Higgins is the quintessential American patriot.
A tough, blunt-spoken guy from the streets of Boston, he began his career as an Army bomb technician in the 1990s. He went from screening visitors to the Clinton White House, looking for hidden explosives, to clearing IEDs in Iraq, to working in the Trump administration as a national security expert, worrying about metaphorical boobytraps set by Obama holdovers and Deep State seditionists.
Higgins new book, The Memo: 20 Years Inside the Deep State Fighting for America First, is an eye-opening and unique book for a political memoir. It is not heavy on political wonkiness, policymaking stratagems, and personal vendettas typical of Washington, DC tell-alls. It is a refreshingly direct tale of a talented young mans rise from the enlisted ranks of the military into politics and then policy-making, only to discover the realities of a brutal and seditious opposition fighting to preserve a decrepit, America-destroying agenda that culminated in an outrageous coup attempt against a U.S. president.
What Higgins quickly discerned at the outset of the Trump administration in early 2017, however, was that there were only a relative handful (six or seven) fellow staffers on the NSC who truly believed in Trumps MAGA philosophy. Meanwhile, there were 60 or 70 Obama holdovers, and many, many individuals on the NSC staff who sought to undermine Trumps agenda, either overtly or covertly, actively or passively.

IIRC, wasn’t Ciamarella on the NSC?
I hope so too..but I'm afraid the Deep State is “ALL IN” on this one....They cant let him "Fundamentally Change" Amerika back to America!......The bogus vote is baked in...
the rest of us, nearly ALL of us, are just little serfs running around....for 99.99999% of serfs, we have very limited upside....
but we can be happy, peaceful, satisfied and successful in our own little lives....

Im sorry, but its stupid to think all of this was going to be just this bad. Some pushback, certainly, but not the wealth of bad, this deep and beyond.
We operate seeing the veneer of truth. The reality becomes apparent only when fully understood to be engaged.
I suppose you tell all your divorced friends they should have been better prepared for their divorces from before they were married, right?
The only way I see justice established is to turn over the FBI and DOJ functions to military authorities and judges for a period of time.
The DOJ has proved it cannot investigate itself, police our domestic NKVD (aka: FBI), or prosecute the Deep State coup plotters and traitors.
Wray had the Biden laptop for over a year, and did nothing with it. Even while the President of the United States was wrongly impeached.
Wray is a criminal. Barr is a useless windbag and fixer for the Deep State.
I really liked that Z and I did give her an A.
I think this is true of almost all communist leadership. They are mafia gang bosses. They loot and pillage the common working person, but have their army of ignorant thugs who are true believers, thinking that they will be a gang boss one day and rule everyone else.
I beg to differ, slightly. For the past 50+ years, except the Reagan years perhaps, it’s true, the Republican Party had great Platforms, but never lived up to them. PDJT believes in the Platform, and is working diligently at living it out. Pro-Life, U.S. Embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Originalist Court appointments, etc., etc. We finally have a TRUE Republican, a la, Lincoln. America First!
This game of chess they all play is to fool the American public. No matter who is in and who is not they all share in the spoils
I don’t think many people trust the GOP anymore. If they were a corporation they would have failed long ago as their product is defective, unreliable, and doesn’t perform as advertised.
The only thing they do consistently is cave and appeease.
Its never going to change.
Power which brings control which in turn brings wealth. Look at history and it has all been this way. Various factions have different ways of winning. Sometimes it is to the benefit of the masses and sometimes not. But about all one can do is hope you dont get run over as the game is being carried on. It is fun to watch.
Sorry but this goes back to Trumps stupidity in trusting these deep stat rats. He royally sucks at hiring people. He should have followed his Apprentice model. Flame away if you mist, then metion, Sessions, Amarosa, Scaramuchi, among others!
Not being a politician I can see how being a tad naive could have produced this situation. A lot of us figured it was bad but dang that swamp is deeper than we thought. Deeper than I thought anyway.
You are both absolutely correct.
I left the GOP 20+ years ago as they are nothing but hot air wind bags. All talk and no show.
They are only marginally less distasteful than the Democrats.
George Washington is roiling in his grave, as everything he warned about in his farewell address has come true in spades.
My most ardent of reasons in supporting President Trump is that he is not a career politician.
It’s called money laundering. RICO the bastards
Targets should include:
Time to fight fire with fire... Take a lesson from communist history...
From 1923 until 1953, Joseph Stalin never had uncontrolled leaks out of his administrations...
From 2008 until 2016 obunghole never had uncontrolled leaks out of his administrations...
Worth considering.
Ala Lincoln, good one!
I agree, PDJT gets things done.
