Trump— Running the Gauntlet

100 Days

You’d think the second time around would be a little easier— right? And that would be true (for the most part) just as long as your name wasn’t Donald Trump. You’d also come to the conclusion that after Trump’s election by an overwhelming majority of American voters, this was a concrete message by the aforementioned that Trump was the man that could fix all the ills plaguing this nation. We were sick and tired of all the woke bullshit. Sex education and gender identity indoctrination (using what was believed to be outright pornography) directed at preschoolers and elementary school age kids. Millions of illegal aliens strolling across the U.S. borders without any fear of consequence along with thousands literally flown into the U.S. by the Government itself. Men playing in women’s sports. The economy tanking while there was little to no change in the stock market mainly because the public knew there was nothing they could personally do to change it.

When Biden was installed, those who controlled him went right to work transforming America from a respected independent nation back to a needy one. Each year bringing the U.S. to economic and cultural collapse. What they also did was set up the framework for Trump’s return. A gauntlet so to speak— for they knew he was sure to win. More on this later.

The Anomaly

Trump is unlike any other President in recent history. The only three which come close to my mind are Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and Ronald Reagan. I’m certain there are others but my knowledge of presidential history is limited. Throughout his campaigns he made it clear to Americans what his agenda would be and what the public could expect from a Trump presidency and for the most part, he remained true to his promises and kept more than the average President.

That being said, he learned some very important lessons during his first term. The first being— four years is nowhere near as long as one believes it to be. The second being that by virtue of the first lesson, wrenches abound consequently slowing what he wanted to accomplish in his first term to a snails pace. When you add in never-ending investigations and two impeachments, the third lesson was that the only way he could count on Congress was if republicans had majorities in both Houses, especially the Senate. I realize they do now but barely. In order to do any lasting good would require 60 Senate votes and relying on intelligent Democrats wasn’t prudent. The fourth important lesson he learned was unless his goals could be written within a reconciliation bill which required only a simple majority to pass, congress as a whole was pretty much worthless therefore, at least for the time being, all he could really rely on were his executive orders hoping that Congress would eventually make them permanent.

The Deep State

It should come as no surprise due to the stark contrast between Biden’s term in office and Trump’s that the deep state is alive and well though not quite as “alive’ as it used to be. Seeing as this control and massive corruption has been going on since our second president John Adams, one can also come to the conclusion that the deep state is more difficult to kill than eggs and peanut butter. Trump found that out during his first term. Trump’s fifth lesson was acknowledging this and preparing for it this time around.

I wrote an article well before the 2024 election back in August of 2023 titled: And Then There Was One: Fighting Permanent Washington describing the “deep” or “administrative state.” In other words, permanent Washington. Below is an excerpt.

Permanent Washington

Otherwise known as the deep state. Truth be told, Permanent Washington has been around since the beginning which included our founders. However, even they were smart enough to set safeguards against themselves within our constitution. The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the collective pseudonym “Publius” to promote the ratification of the Constitution of the United States tells us as much. They were insightful enough to warn against an overreaching Federal Government.

And that worked as well as one could expect until 1963. Sure— there were some flare-ups such as the sinking of The Main which propelled us into the Spanish American war and a few others but the real change began with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Jack Ruby (if you don’t know who Jack Ruby was, I truly feel sorry for you) said it best: “Well, you won’t see me again. I tell you that a whole new form of government is going to take over the country, and I know I won’t live to see you another time.” Now some may call Ruby a lunatic but if that’s true, why are there 5000+ documents still being withheld from the eyes of the American public sixty years later? Secrets make strange bedfellows when it comes to Permanent Washington and they do their best to make sure that anyone involved in these secrets are long dead before they would consider revealing them. One example is: Martin Luther King Tapes Sealed Until: 2027. More examples? Sure but the point is— or the question is why? For the well being of the United States or to cover their asses. Personally, the latter seems more plausible.

Since that tragic day in 1963, Permanent Washington has grown to monstrous proportions employing upwards of 3 million. But keep in mind, 95% of those are simply people looking for a decent job. It’s those five percent that should worry anyone seeing as five percent of 3 million is 150 thousand who play lead roles within government institutions (unelected bureaucracies). Every single one of them. Scary thought… huh? These are the ones in charge by either leaking information, slow-walking orders or ignoring them altogether. Or worse yet, fraudulently changing, hiding or destroying documents.

Is this Permanent Washington? To an extent, yes but keep in mind, most of these people are simply following orders from those above them. Permanent Washington is a pecking order of individuals who either by employment, appointment, designation or elections do the bidding of those above them in order to fulfill their own self-interests be it monetarily or through higher status or power. So, the question is, who provides that? Who is at the top of the Federal Government food chain? The search for the answer is obvious as it is with most any question of this nature. Follow the money.

So, to keep what is already a long article just a tad shorter— Permanent Washington is comprised of the following: The Military Industrial Complex, The Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex, The Banking Industry, Technological Complex and the Information Complex. These are the top to the top. Everything flows from these institutions in and out of government. Why do you think it’s called the Federal Government’s revolving door policy in regards to unelected officials? They are the ones behind the ones behind the proverbial thrown. They call the shots and should there be a crime committed so egregious that even they can’t ignore, they provide a sacrificial lamb to quell the anger. But think about it. In recent history, have you ever seen anyone from Permanent Washington go to jail? Of course not! That’s what billion dollar fines are for. It’s their get-out-of-jail cards. Pay a huge fine, you’re good to go. Carry on. Need a bail-out? Well, seeing as most involved in making those decisions have at one time worked for or under those in industries requesting the bail-out, this should come as no shock to anyone. Have to remember that pecking order. And by the way— are other countries involved in Permanent Washington? Ask Joe Biden. He knows all about that. The obvious answer is of course they are, to a degree.

Trump was sick of it all. Why? Because as he’s said in the past, he was a part of it. He had to work under those rules and vowed to put an end to it. The one thing he realized was that combating Permanent Washington wasn’t as simple as he thought it would be and when I hear the same being said by Candidates like Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy touting they’ll do the same, you almost have to laugh. Which is why if a Republican other than Trump were to win in 2024, Permanent Washington would much rather have either of the two mentioned above become the winner.

You see, this is the real reason behind Trump’s indictments. He’s had four years fighting with them and while he may not have won the war, he definitely won a few battles and that’s what terrifies them. Trump has experience. He knows the mistakes he made and has a much better understanding of how it all works and what he needs to do to finish the job. Any other candidate would put the fight back to square one, or end it completely. On top of which, no other candidate has the temerity or the courage to go the distance with Permanent Washington. At the first sign of real push-back, they would surrender. If Trump did not have the means to fight these indictments he knew would eventually arrive if he made another run for the Presidency, I guarantee you, he would not be running.

One last thing needs to be mentioned before we go to the next topic. Permanent Washington does not give one iota regarding social or cultural issues of the United States unless it affects their bottom line. As far as they’re concerned, pro-life, pro-choice, lgbtq issues among many others are nothing more than squabbles between groups pitted against each-other amplified by the media as a distraction from them as a whole and what they’re doing in the shadows. Yes, the media is a part of Permanent Washington. They are it’s mouthpiece, following their orders. [end excerpt]

The very second Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 election, the gauntlet (primarily orchestrated by the deep state) was set into full motion using the five remaining arrows in their quiver.

1— The judiciary
Trump knew the lawsuits from the Left would run like water with just about every move he made. He also knew there would be some rogue Judge out there who would slow his process down to a crawl within days afterwards with national injunctions and restraining orders but here’s the interesting thing. 99.9% of them were (and remain) temporary. If that doesn’t tell you the motive behind these rulings, I don’t know what will. Trump also knew that most if not all these obstructions would be overturned in higher courts even if it had to go to the Supreme Court.

Many people believe that Trump is moving way to fast but there’s a reason for it. It’s because he now knows how not to get sucked up into the waiting game. As I said in a recent article Judge Shopping— The Primary Goal…

[excerpt]
Eventually— that’s the keyword here. And this is one of the most important lessons Trump learned during his first term. He realized that when you have control of the White House and congress, waiting is not an option. Why? Because Democrats will go to the ends of the earth to tie up as much as they can in the courts. All they require is an activist liberal judge in a liberal district. So what did Trump do? Instead of waiting, he threw it ALL out there at once. Anything he and his advisors thought there was even a remote possibility of being challenged in court, he ordered it knowing that challenges would take time and time is in short supply when it’s your final term in office. By doing so right out of the gate, he not only knew there was time to prevail over them but more than enough time to get the ball rolling. This is why the border wall was never completed during his first term. The clock ran out. I wrote about this years ago in an article titled Lawyers, Courts and the Clock. To date, this was one of the smartest moves Trump has made. Removing all frivolous legal roadblocks Democrats continuously throw against Trump in order to delay his agenda as soon as humanly possible will give Trump the ability, and time to actually accomplish them whether it’s illegal immigration and deportations, tariffs, birthright citizenship, withholding funds from Sanctuary Cities or certain learning institutions for failing to comply with legal executive orders. (Just to name a few.) While liberal news declares one Trump loss after another in courts, he, for the most part pretty much wins every battle in the court that has the final say. (The U.S.Supreme Court.) The time consuming part is reaching that court.

By doing so now, this is giving these activist judges pause. Wondering whether or not they should press what they’re doing to the extent that Congress will put an end to it once and for all. These Judges are walking a very thin line at the moment and for Trump, there’s no better time to walk that thin line than right at the beginning of his term. [end excerpt]

To all the lawyers out there bringing these lawsuits against Trump’s agenda I can only say— be careful what you wish for or— perhaps it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie. In the past, Presidents were given a pass on their executive orders for one main reason. They can be rescinded the moment the opposing side takes power and as I said, four years is a drop in the bucket. What Trump has done and continues to do is piss off the Left so much, they bring lawsuits they know they’ll eventually lose for the sole purpose of slowing him down. What they’re finding now is this tactic is a double edged sword.

What Trump has done and continues to do (when you think about it) is kind of brilliant. Why? Because he wants final answers to important questions that throughout history, no one from either Party dare ask by the only court who can provide them. These answers will set legal precedent for generations to come which is why all rulings against many parts of Trump’s agenda (so far) are temporary or in the appellate process. This now forces the Supreme Court to rule one way or the other. Had the Left just let it all alone and simply waited for the day they’re back in control to change it, they would have been much better off. Then again, perhaps they too want final answers also— or does their fear of losing outweigh their wonder.

2— Liberal Media
Trump’s first 100 days according to Liberal news outlets? Well, what’s new… right? As usual, it’s 92% negative coverage for the few viewers they have remaining. I’ve written a few articles on the media so none of this should come as any surprise. This is what they do. It’s like their motto should be “If you can’t say something good about someone, sit right here by me” attributed to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, the only daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, and his first wife, Alice Hathaway Lee. From what I’ve gleaned about TR’s daughter, she was definitely a handful. So much so that he once said.. “I can be President of the United States, or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both. “

The most obvious question that’s rarely if ever asked.
We all know liberal media doesn’t ask it by nature of the beast however, in many instances, neither does Fox News or other conservative outlets. I wrote a message to the Will Cain Show the other day seeing if I could get a response. (I doubt I will). The following was the comment/suggestion/question.

“Enjoy the show, just one suggestion and it’s not just you, it’s pretty much everyone on Fox News during interviews with liberal guests. (example- James Carville,) when he states how Trump and Republicans are gutting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, I was waiting for the obvious follow-up question being… “exactly how are they gutting it?” or “In what ways are they gutting it?” You along with many hosts on Fox News have a propensity of failing to ask liberal guests that question. You just allow statements to be made. If you attempt to push back, they talk all over you and it all gets lost. No need to argue with them, just ask them to back up their statements. Then listen to the silence as they try to answer.”

3— Democrats
Well, what can I say— nice to know I’ve pretty much been right all these years when writing about the Left and Elected Democrats as a whole. Approval numbers plummeting into the abyss as they concoct cringe-worthy stunts at every turn. I’d almost feel embarrassed for them (if it wasn’t so ridiculously comical.) Honestly, I have no idea how they plan on climbing out from the pit they’ve intentionally jumped into with both feet, especially when their advisors are digging that pit deeper each day and being paid for the privilege. I don’t know which is worse, Liberal Media or the Democrat Party. Then again, seeing as their both on the same team, I guess it’s equal loathing by a majority of America.

This will be one of the rare times Republicans will continue to hold Congress after the midterms. Why? Because of what I said earlier. Success. Nobody is going to screw with success. Especially when people see improvements in their quality of life meaning— interest rates, mortgage rates, food prices and gas prices. When the cost of living goes down and by extension the quality of life goes up, trust me, for as much as Democrats would love to see the failure of America, voters remember success more-so than failure. And all you hear from Democrats is what a horrible job Trump is doing. And how will Democrats spin each Trump success into a failure? What will they say when gas prices go down to somewhere around $2.00 a gallon (or less). What will they say when each trade deal is announced (especially a deal with China)? What will they say when the war between Russia and Ukraine ends? Have you heard much about the U.S. rare earth mineral deal with Ukraine? Especially on Liberal Media or from elected Democrats? Nahhh… I didn’t think so. Hell, they rarely if ever cover Trump’s speeches, rallies or press conferences without talking all over him as they mute his voice or cut away completely after the first three minutes.

With a long way to go until the midterms, every single Trump success that decreases the cost of living, decreases the tax burden to the middle class (personally, I don’t give a shit about rich people saving money on their taxes also as it doesn’t affect me or any middle class person who’s not a socialist in the least) and by extension—  increases their quality of life Within success, tell me, what will concern you more? Trump’s occasional embellishments or never ending lies and complaints from Democrats? The answer—  Liberal lies. The American people want results. Not delays and they know who are the ones delaying the Golden Age. Democrats and their new constituents, the fringe Left which appears to be the only base they have remaining who would love nothing more than see America fail.

With each Trump success, the midterms will be as if the Kevorkian needle drives deeper into the collective Democrat arm. The funny part is, Democrats (by their actions) are helping choose the best vein.

4— Globalist Billionaires
You know, the George Soros types. The dark money people funding chaos here in America. Chaos can be expensive. Protests aren’t cheap you know. The money for all those signs and banners during well orchestrated protests and payrolls for the leaders of such doesn’t just fall from the trees. And then we have campaign funding that easily run into the millions for the likes of Alvin Bragg, Letitia James and George Gascón (just to name a few) who prosecute political foes while criminals are allowed to continue plying their trade. Add in funding political for House and Senate seats and we can’t forget hundreds of newly acquired radio stations doing their best to further indoctrinate, dangerously misinform young impressionable minds to their delusional way of thinking.

Money has, and will continue to play an important role of a gauntlet. Large or small.

5— Ivy League Learning Institutions
Simple. Adding to the chaos. They are the staging locations of these orchestrated protests against Israel. Apparently with the blessing of the school’s administration. Also a main player within the gauntlet but this will change soon enough when Federal funding for these institutions ends. Not only that, I believe that eventually (if not already) these universities will be compelled to inform the Fed exactly who they’re receiving millions in foreign donations. And I’m not talking about a country donating money to Canada then Canada forwards the donation to a school like Harvard under the auspice that Canada itself funded it with their own money. You’re going to see an end to that (what should be illegal) practice soon.

Trump’s Last Stand

Believe it or not, Trump has set himself up in a win win situation no matter what happens in the midterms although it would be nice if republicans gains seats in the House and get up to the sixty seat level in the Senate which is why the next year or so has to include some major victories.

1— Ukraine/Russia war ends (soon)

2— Iran is no longer a threat (doable – one way or another)

3— Trade negotiations announced (soon)

4— Economy improves (already beginning)

5— Cost of living comes down (already beginning)

If Trump is able to make those five issues turn into either non-issues or dramatically close to becoming non-issues then his final two years in office will be a breeze (comparatively speaking) as the Democrats race farther down the road to irrelevant obscurity. Notice I didn’t mention the stock market. Well, if the issues listed above are no longer issues, Trump and the rest of us won’t have to worry about the stock market. Also notice I didn’t mention anything about dealing with deportations of illegal aliens. Why? I’m saving that for the next article. This article is long enough.

Worst case scenario
If the American electorate are as stupid as I many times believe them to be and republicans somehow lose the House, Trump will be forced to alter his tactics though not by as much as you’d think. He’s well aware of what will happen if the House goes to the Democrats. One House investigation after another and one hearing after another. Congress will become just about as worthless as a whole as it is now though should they lose the House, it will be next to impossible for the House and Senate to pass just about anything which is why it’s imperative Trump’s Big Beautiful bill gets passed as soon as possible including all safeguards against Democrat shenanigans later. As this is Trump’s final term in office, he won’t give a shit about any distracting investigations and hearings including impeachments. What he will do is continue to use his administration to hold all those accountable in past actions that brought the U.S. to the brink of collapse. He campaigned on shining a bright light on what’s really going on in this country. DOGE has already made a huge difference. 168 billion so far in savings might not have been his goal but it ain’t peanuts either.  And the exposure of waste, fraud and abuse from people who allowed this to happen? To me, is equally if not more important.

No matter what happens in Congress, this continuing exposure won’t be ceasing anytime soon. As we’ve seen in the recent past, a whole lot of damage can be accomplished simply with the stroke of a pen although should I say… an auto-pen in Biden’s case. Therefore, one can say an equal amount of good can result from a Trump signature. Add Trump’s cabinet to the mix including the FBI and DOJ and watch the fireworks as Democrats including a few RINO Republicans try to defend themselves. Could there be a slightly positive side to this? Could very well be. As in Biden’s term, the public got to see what an unbelievably incompetent President looks like. The public will learn this also should Democrats witness yet again, the incompetence of Democrats resulting in a huge red wave in Congress and the Presidency. As I said, in any event, Trump wins as do Republicans in 2028.

The Great Reset

Emptying the Can of Worms
In essence— this is exactly what Trump is doing and is exactly what the Deep State (administrative state) doesn’t want. This was the main reason the 2020 election was rigged and the main reason you’re seeing this gauntlet materializing right before our very eyes. The assassination attempts didn’t work although I find it curious after all this time, the American People still know absolutely nothing about these would be assassins. Hopefully, the truth will be revealed.

Keep in mind, Democrats opened this can of worms, this Pandora’s Box beginning in Trump’s first term. Bogus investigations, two impeachments and a mountain of lies concocted by Democrats amplified by their mouthpiece, the liberal media. They continued this immediately after Trump’s announcing his run for a second term using an unprecedented amount of illegal law-fare at the behest of the deep state. When that didn’t work, assassins were obviously sought out by someone. All this for what? Because Trump wants a level playing field in international trade? Because he wants to end gender, DEI and alternative sex education bullshit being taught to impressionable four to ten year olds in public schools? Because he wants to stop biological males competing against females in women’s sports? Because he wants to stop our Public School’s churning out millions of functional illiterates yearly? Because he wants to end wars? Stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons? Because he wants to make America healthier? And above all else, he simply wants America as a whole, a better place to live?

Is that the reason behind this gauntlet Trump has been plowing through these last eight years? Yes. Trump is kind of pissed by what he’s seen happen not only to him but the United States as well. Now that he’s returned to the Presidency, he basically responded with something to the affect of… “you wanted to play this game? Good! Let’s play it.”

As I’ve said in many articles, To the Deep State, Trump is Public Enemy No 1. Why? Because they are terrified of him. He was able to put a significant dent in their goals during his first term and they did everything they could to prevent him from wining a second. The Deep State regained their momentum during Biden’s four years especially by allowing millions to invade the U.S. (more on this in the following article.) But they’re more terrified than ever now because people remember his first term and how great it was despite everything thrown against him. They’re terrified from not so much of what his administration will do, it’s what his administration continues to reveal how deep the Administrative rabbit hole goes and I guarantee you, prosecutions will be coming soon and it won’t be just meaningless low hanging fruit. Heads will definitely be rolling. Trump is poised to set the Deep State back at least forty years.

The Gauntlet

So how is Trump doing with running the gauntlet?  It’s been difficult to be sure. Impossible for anyone else but this is Trump so for now and in the future? Three words.

— Winning, winning, winning —

and in the future? Again, I’ll quote Trump.

“We’ll see what happens”
