Machiavelli said, “It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”  A prescient and oft repeated quote that is pertinent to the situation.

When our founders created the system of government for our constitutional republic, they built in layers of protection from federal control over the lives of people in the states.  Over time those protections have been eroded as the federal bureaucracy has seized power.  One of the biggest changes that led to the creation of the permanent political class was the 17th amendment.

Our founders created a system where Senators were appointed by the state legislatures.  In this original system the senate was bound by obligation to look out for the best interests of their specific states.  Under the ‘advise and consent‘ rules of Senate confirmation for executive branch appointments, the intent was to ensure the presidential appointee -who would now carry out regulatory activity- would not undermine the independent position of the states.

The nucleus of corruption amid every element of the federal institutions of government is the United States Senate.   The U.S. Senate, also known as the “upper chamber,” is the single most powerful elected element in modern federal government.

The Intelligence Branch is the most powerful branch of government.  However, the U.S. Senate is the most powerful assembly of federally elected officials.  We pretend the IC branch doesn’t exist; that’s part of our problem.  At least we admit the Senate exists.

All other elected federal corruption is dependent on a corrupt and ineffective Senate.  If we correct the problems with the Senate and reconnect the representation within the chamber to the state-level legislative bodies, we will then see immediate change.  However, there would be ZERO institutional allies in this effort.

This is a good video to put context to his familiar linguistic jingle that we keep hearing from Democrats, “our democracy.” [Citation]

The professional elements within the top floors of the Democrat apparatus, I’m specifically mentioning the people very close to Obama, genuinely do not believe Kamala Harris stands a chance at winning. FYI, I’ll have more on this later.

Putting some context data together before a video that should concern everyone.

Representative Jamie Raskin’s (U-MD) son, Tommy Raskin killed himself right after the 2020 election at the age of 25.  Congressman Raskin was diagnosed with cancer in 2022, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Raskin is an angry bitter man of intemperate disposition, the archetype nihilist.  As hate consumes him, his physical persona changes with the manifestation of evil enterprise.  While his cancer is in reported remission, I would anticipate it to resurface in early 2025, after Baal has finished using him.

All of that said, Raskin is pledging to purposefully trigger a civil war within the United States if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election.  {Direct Rumble Link Here} Raskin is prepared to work with Democrats and block any certification of any vote that has President Trump declared the winner.

Peter Navarro left federal prison in Miami earlier this morning and flew to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to deliver a speech on the “injustice” within Biden’s America.

When Navarro walked onto the stage at the RNC Convention the entire audience erupted in cheers, applause and chants of, “fight, fight, fight.”  A smiling Navarro seemed genuinely moved by the audience appreciation as he begins to deliver his remarks.  WATCH:

Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against President Trump that was brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Using a similar argument recently included by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Judge Cannon has dismissed the case as an unconstitutional lawfare attack. The Lawfare community, writ large, is apoplectic.

In her ruling [SEE HERE] Judge Cannon ruled the appointment of Smith was not constitutional. “The Court is convinced that Special Counsel’s Smith’s prosecution of this action breaches two structural cornerstones of our constitutional scheme — the role of Congress in the appointment of constitutional officers, and the role of Congress in authorizing expenditures by law,” Cannon wrote.

“At most, the history reflects an ad hoc, inconsistent practice of naming prosecutors from both inside and outside of government (typically in response to national scandal) who possessed wildly variant degrees of power and autonomy. The lack of consistency makes it near impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions about Congress’s approval of modern special counsels like Special Counsel Smith,” she wrote.

[SOURCE DOCUMENT]

The malevolent forces of the deep state have suffered a tremendous defeat, and the demons are shrieking.

The Washington Post, representing the interests of the U.S. Intelligence Community who fully supported the Lawfare attack, writes:

WASHINGTON – The Justice Department is highly likely to appeal the decision, and the issue may eventually reach the Supreme Court. By dismissing the entire indictment, Cannon’s decision also means that the charges are dropped for Trump’s two co-defendants, Waltine “Walt” Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira.

Even if Cannon’s ruling is eventually overruled, the decision to dismiss Trump’s indictment adds to a string of legal victories for him in recent weeks, including a sweeping Supreme Court ruling July 1 that gives former presidents broad immunity for their official acts while in office.

This is quite remarkable.  Alec Baldwin broke down in tears during court today because the trial judge dismissed the case against him.

Apparently, the prosecution received a box of live ammunition from a witness.  The ammunition was from the same lot used on the set of Rust.  That evidence strongly suggested the live ammunition that made its way on to the set came from the prop supplier, rather than from the film’s armorer.

The question has always been, how did live ammunition get into the gun on the set?  The prosecution team hid the evidence and never told the defense team, a clear Brady violation. [Print Media Report Here]  WATCH:

.

As much as I dislike Alec Baldwin, this judge did the right thing.  The evidence was at the center of the prosecution and withholding it was a gross violation of ethical responsibility of the prosecution.  The charges should have been dismissed, and they were.

Right is right, even if nobody does it.  Wrong is wrong, even if everybody does it.  Using corrupt lawfare tactics and hiding Brady material is wrong.  The prosecution should be sanctioned.

As things in Washington DC unfold, it is easy to lose sight of the forest due to the trees.  A few obvious big picture items:

♦ First, why is Volodymyr Zelenskyy attending a NATO summit?  Ukraine is not a part of NATO.

♦ Second, do not overlook the big picture.

While a NATO summit is happening in DC, Joe Biden is under the most intense political attack in his tenure, from his own administration.  This does not happen without the approval of the deepest elements within the Deep State apparatus, the Intelligence Community.

There is no way the entirety of the system, which in this case is specifically the U.S. State Department and Intelligence Community, would normally be launching a full-frontal assault on the office of the presidency while international leaders are here.

This just isn’t done and represents a historic inflection point.  So, we must ask what’s the background, motive and intent?

The obvious answer is that removing Joe Biden is seen as the best option for the DoS/IC.  This perspective highlights the non-pretending reality that these institutions regard the November election as lost if Joe Biden remains their candidate.

The IC and Dept of State cannot have Donald Trump take control of their operation, especially since the recent Supreme Court ruling that affirmed a majority opinion using strong language consistent with the Unitary Executive theory of the Constitution.

The Supreme Court said, the President is “a person alone who comprises a branch of government.”  [pdf, page 38] In essence, the president *IS* the Executive Branch, and all of the other various bureaucratic agents and agencies within it are under his unilateral “official act” control.

Joe Biden has been hiding in the bunker. He did a phone call with MSNBC, but Jill has been doing the campaigning while exit negotiations are ongoing.

However, someone controlling the schedule did decline a meeting with Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Chairman Mark Warner, who is also the lead spokesperson/protector for the Intelligence Community, which is not really a good idea since the “seven ways to Sunday” group don’t like to be ignored.

[…] “Warner had reportedly called the meeting in the wake of Biden’s performance in the first presidential debate late last month, and as several House Democrats have called on him to withdraw from the ticket. However, once plans for the “private” meeting became public, it was scrapped.” {link}

So instead of having the meeting with Biden, Senator Warner just tweeted the instructions:

[SOURCE]

As much as I dislike Mark Warner, I do appreciate the transparency of the coded messaging he presents.  So, let’s summarize it.

From the position of the intelligence community (IC) Joe Biden is less important than their priority of ensuring President Trump does not win reelection.

It is an existential and/or zero-sum battle from the standpoint of the IC.  If Trump wins, they could be destroyed; ergo, Biden or someone, anyone, must defeat Trump.  The IC doesn’t care who removes the threat Trump represents – that’s the “strongest path forward” part; however, Trump must be defeated.

Warner says Biden must take a meeting with the IC “broader group of voices,” and listen to them tell Biden -in person- what the real priority is.  Joe Biden is less important than removing the threat Trump represents to them.

This meeting would essentially represent the “offer you cannot refuse”, “or else” meeting, that Biden is trying to avoid.  The IC is not going to be ignored, so sayeth Mark Warner.

UPDATED by Request: /SD

The tip of the Lawfare spear consists of a small group of former DOJ attorneys and Main Justice leftists who helped AG Eric Holder create the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) when it was formed on behalf of President Obama.

Lawfare, writ large, are a tribe of leftists who strategically weaponize the justice systems within the DOJ.  They are also the main guides, strategists and legal analysts who previously used Robert Mueller and currently use Jack Smith.

The tribe is led by a trio of fellow travelers: Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann.

If you research the group, you will discover that Mary McCord sits at the center of every attack approach deployed against President Trump {CITATION}.  The influence of McCord cannot be overstated, while gender fluid leftists like Eisen, Weissmann (and others), wax philosophically about which statutes can be twisted and interpreted to assist their Lawfare strategy du jour.

Everything we have watched unfold, from using “The Logan Act” against Michael Flynn, to using “Obstruction” against President Trump and the “Insurrection Act” against J-6 targets, comes from this small crew of effeminate leftists.

The similarity of the behavioral proclivities is an outcome of their tribal synchronicity.  Much like the McClintock or Wellesley effect, when you isolate Lawfare individuals into a small tribe, their collective behaviors replicate. These travelers were incubated in the DOJ-NSD.

This crew of Brookings funded Lawfare ideologues was also described by Christine Blasey-Ford as her “Beach Friends.”

Since leaving official government positions, the main trio of Lawfare leadership congregate professionally on MSNBC and feed the leftists in media and politics from their primary cable outlet.

I noted, during a recent flight filled with DC bureaucrats and IC officials (United Airlines), how the drones all watched MSNBC on their seat monitors as if it was a religious service that needed to be attended.  It really was a sight to see.  Every bureaucrat, active or retired, seated with their laptop under the headrest monitor while typing, texting and DM’ing in unison like synchronized swimmers.

That experience was the first time I realized how the term “NPC’s” or non-Player Characters might have originated as a meme, but the label was eerily accurate.

…“The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”… 

In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court of the United Stated ruled that presidents have “absolute immunity” for official “actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.”  [SEE RULING HERE] Also, “official acts” cannot be used as evidence against the president in a criminal case.

As expected, the high court instructed the lower trial courts to hold specific evidentiary hearings on each anti-Trump criminal count, and determine which counts, if any, related to official or unofficial acts.

The Supreme Court is essentially telling the lower courts to go back and look at each citation and review which claims are official acts and which claims related to unofficial acts. The Supreme Court ruled that presidents may not have immunity for non-official conduct. However, when the judicial review cannot differentiate, the court cannot look at motives for the decisions.
