Obama's Secret Stay Behind Army Obama literally created "The Department of The Deep State" at the flick of a pen. The Senior Executive Service, or "SES" was created on September 19, 1979 during the Carter administration. It was originally formed to professionalize career civil service, while attracting the nation's best and brightest in an effort to improve and moderate the management of the federal bureaucracy. A position within the "SES" is considered the equivalent to general officer or the flag officer ranks in the U.S. Armed Forces. For that reason, they are often referred to as our "civilian generals." The SES was to be a corps of non-partisan, career managers who serve as the executive management of federal agencies. Their job being to implement policy, not create it. At least it was until then President Obama changed that with a mere flick of his pen, making SES members nearly impossible to fire, once hired. To say Obama's transformation of the SES into an army of political operatives was effective would be a gross understatement. There are more than 2 million federal employees. And at the top of that pyramid are approximately 8,000 SES (Senior Executive Service) employees who service as the professional managerial class linking our political leaders to the civil service rank and file. And Barack Obama as president, replaced more than 6,000 members of the 8,000-member SES during his 2 terms, assembling what became a stay-behind army of political operatives. Here's a list of the number of SES employees that were embedded in the following government agencies at the end of Obama’s 2nd term in 2016: Department of Education – 86 Department of Housing & Urban Development – 115 Department of the Air Force – 182 Department of Labor – 200 Department of State – 204 Department of Transportation – 231 Department of Interior – 258 Department of the Army – 261 Department of the Navy – 326 Department of Veterans Affairs – 357 Department of Agriculture – 361 Department of Commerce – 425 Department of the Treasury – 458 Department of Health & Human Services – 468 Department of Defense – 478 Department of Energy – 490 Department of Homeland Security – 639 Department of Justice – 821 All Other Agencies (non-Cabinet agencies) – 1,796 And it wasn't just a purge of patriots from governmental agencies. Obama's purge of the military was especially damaging to our national security, as he literally gutted the command structure of the U.S. military. Cleaning out the filth from decades of infiltration and then Obama's embedded political operatives has been a long uphill battle in taking back our country and restoring our republic to making America great again. All roads lead to Obama.

@athenaeumbc This begs sone questions. I s there a UK government counter-terror program that flags books of possible signs of far-left extremism? If so, which books are on that list?

A UK government counter-terror program flagged these books as possible signs of far-right extremism. The list includes Hobbes' Leviathan, Milton's Paradise Lost, The Lord of the Rings — even works by C.S. Lewis. How many have you read??

People are perplexed that the shooter seemed to be a somewhat normal guy, with an education and a job. As a Conservative who has been living near DC for 15 years, this isn’t perplexing at all. If you could hear the way Leftists talk about Trump and his supporters, especially when they think there are no Trump supporters around, none of this would surprise you. They actually believe Trump is Hitler, and they actually believe violence is justified against Trump and his supporters. This is not some fringe belief, this is widespread. They openly and unapologetically fantasize about Republican politicians being assassinated. They are proud of it. You could ask any Leftist on the street in DC if they wish any of the assassination attempts on Trump were successful, and they will look you straight in the eye and say “absolutely”. Just like they openly rooted for us to die during Covid. A great sickness infects these people, and I don’t think those who live outside the cities have any idea just how much these Leftists hate you and want you to die. The shooter was not some fringe activist. He is just a regular Leftist who acted on the thoughts and conversations that all of them have been conditioned to have, due to the 24/7 exposure to anti-Trump propaganda from every bit of media they consume. They are heavily brainwashed.

@MrsDrPublius Imagine the world if this was the personal custom of the citizens. The art of a measured tongue would breed the art of the measured response, which logically ends with more human lives being saved—by Jesus or simply alive. Thank you for this wonderful post and God bless you.

Hello everyone! Please join me for a daily scripture break. James 1:19-20: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” Initially, I thought we would examine human anger but actually we are headed in a different direction.  Today’s topic is what I call "the art of a measured tongue." This is a topic that caught my eye because part of my job is to help others manage their emotions in challenging situations.  People really have “short fuses” nowadays.  The public can be rude, entitled, short tempered, self-absorbed all at the same time.  The key phrase I want to highlight in this passage is, “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” Okay, let’s carefully examine this. What does it mean to be “quick to listen”? In order to (actively) listen, you can’t speak or think about how you will respond to the other person - by doing so, you are actively shutting down or delaying your irrational (emotional) response. This first step requires your brain to collect information/facts not to form opinions. Our next step is to determine what “slow to speak” means?  Hopefully, you have (actively) listened to the other person, considered the current circumstances/facts, tempered your visceral response to what was said, and formulated your response using spoken words in a cogent manner. The third piece of this puzzle is to consider what does it mean to be “slow to anger?” I call this mental interdiction. In other words, your executive functions hijack and override your emotional responses which were triggered by circumstances. This skillset takes practice, practice, practice.  Many people in our society will ignore this step in their daily living - they feel entitled to "drop their issues" in your lap. I took the time to map the pattern of responses required to actually accomplish all three directives in the passage above because the real topic of today’s scripture break is “the art of a measured tongue.”  In the scriptures, the tongue represents our spoken language. So what do I mean by the art of a measured tongue? By following these clearly defined actions we can predictably respond to the chaotic world around us. Mastering this sequence of events is a highly valuable skillset to possess in your Christian journey, in your business dealings, in personal friendships and in your interactions with people you meet. Today's passage directs us to master this skill because if we don’t control our human anger we won’t produce the fruit of righteousness in our lives. Please read the passage again. So the art of a measured tongue detours us from the wayward path where human anger leads us which is displeasing to God. I reviewed all of the following scriptures please take few minutes to look them up because you will begin building a roadmap to acquire the motivation, skills and stamina to master the art of a measured tongue. 1. Colossians 4:6 2. Titus 3:2 3. Psalms 17:27 4. Matthew 15:11 5. Proverbs 18:13 6. James 1:26 7. Proverbs 21:23 8. Proverbs 10:19 9. Ecclesiastes 5:2 10.  Proverbs 17:28 11. Psalms 141:3 12. Psalms 19:14 13. Psalms 39:1 14. Proverbs 14:15 If you own your own business, I can’t emphasize this enough.  Mastering this skillset will propel you through difficult plots and problems in your business.   One final note, I'm convinced the greatest Master of the art of a measured tongue was our Lord, Jesus - if you get a chance read Jesus’ conversation with Pilate (John 18:33-38). Jesus put on a masterclass of this skillset. Imagine with those circumstances under the threat of death, Jesus' responses to Pilate were extraordinary. What an awesome God we serve! Peace and be prepared.

Our founding fathers never even considered the possibility that illiterate third world women would one day be shipped into this country and then elected to congress. We are discovering a method of national suicide that never entered the minds of the founders.

Britain is a speck. Africa is a continent. Only a suicidal idiot pretends we can swallow it whole. Look again at that map. The blue outline isn’t some random African blob, it’s England, our entire island nation, dropped onto the vastness of Africa for scale. One tiny, rain-soaked, historically English rock placed against the Democratic Republic of Congo alone, a country nearly ten times our size. Africa itself could swallow the British Isles dozens of times over and barely notice. Yet the same people who lecture us about “compassion” and “diversity” insist this postage stamp of a homeland must fling open its doors to endless hordes from that continent and beyond. What utter, manipulative bollocks. Africa spans over 30 million square kilometres with 54 countries and 1.4 billion people and growing faster than anywhere on Earth. Nigeria alone will hit 400 million by 2050. Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea vast territories, immense resources, yet perpetual chaos, tribal slaughter, corruption, and fertility rates that mock any notion of sustainability. Their young men aren’t “fleeing” because there’s literally nowhere else on their gigantic continent; they’re coming here because Europe’s idiot elites turned welfare magnets into beacons for the world’s surplus population. England is not “nowhere else to go.” It is the only homeland our people have ever known. A finite island forged by the English, for the English. the descendants of those who tamed it, defended it, and built the greatest civilisation this planet has seen. We are already 67 million strong on these crowded shores, with native birth rates suppressed and our cities groaning under the weight of parallel societies, knife crime, grooming gangs, and collapsing services. Every additional boatload whether Pakistani, Nigerian, Somali, or Afghan whatever Tom dick and Harry, isn’t enrichment. It’s dilution. It’s dispossession. The intellectual reality, delivered without the usual cowardly euphemisms: this cannot work. It has never worked. You do not transplant tens of millions from low-trust, low-IQ, high-fertility, clan-based, often cousin-marrying cultures, many steeped in the supremacist ideology of Islam or worse into a high-trust, high-investment, native European society and expect harmony. You get what we already see in Newham, Tower Hamlets, Bradford, and Birmingham: electoral capture by foreign blocs, no-go areas, skyrocketing welfare dependency, and native English families priced out or driven out. Europe’s strange death, accelerated by a pathological altruism that mistakes weakness for virtue. We owe these people nothing. The natives of these isles built this country. We paid for it. We died for it. It belongs to us. Remigration on a serious, unapologetic scale is not “far-right extremism.” It is basic arithmetic and national survival. Prioritise the English people in their own homeland. Africa has space. The Middle East has space. Pakistan has space. Let them fix their own failures instead of exporting them to the one place that still works, for now. England is our only home. Tiny, precious, irreplaceable. We’ve had enough of pretending otherwise. The hordes keep coming only because traitorous elites allow it. Time to reclaim our birthright, and ensure that this sceptred isle remains English. Anything less is national suicide sold as kindness. The map doesn’t lie. Neither should we.

Remember this

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

@downi75 Trust me, given our politicians, you really want to keep it that way.

Who has Ohio had 7 presidents, and Michigan only 1 — who was never elected president OR vice president? Any theories on this?

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.

One side of the political spectrum keeps trying to kill the other side. One side celebrates murdering babies, selling their body parts, and chopping off kids genitals. One side continuously releases violent repeat criminals that are preying on our women and children, while lying and saying that they support women. One side wants dudes to compete against our girls in sports, and force our girls to change with them in the locker room. One side willingly invites criminals and miscreants from the third world to live among us with impunity, even going as far as to protest when sex offenders are shipped back home. One side gleefully riots and burns down cities when they don’t get their way. This isn’t hyperbole. The Democratic Party is a party of depravity.

@ellad3vi Ran out of things to complain about today, did we? Grab a Bible, learn about Jesus and get some peace for your soul: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7 NIV

pete hegeseth's wife wore a dress from temu to the white house correspondents dinner (i'm not joking)

Most people don’t even remember this assassination attempt on President Trump. On June 18, 2016, at a Donald Trump campaign rally in Las Vegas (at the Treasure Island hotel and casino). A 20-year-old British man named **Michael Steven Sandford** approached a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer (Ameel Jacob), pretending to ask for Trump's autograph, then reached down and attempted to grab the officer's holstered Glock pistol to supposedly shoot Trump. The gun got stuck in the holster, he was immediately subdued and arrested, and he later admitted his intent to kill the candidate.

🚨JOCELYN BENSON RESPONDS TO MIGOP'S QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SPLC. Michigan's Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson—the current Democrat Party frontrunner for Governor—responded to our questions about her time on the Board of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Instead of explaining or denying any knowledge of the SPLC's alleged criminal behavior, Benson DOUBLES DOWN on racially charged rhetoric and focuses on President Trump instead of answering our questions. BENSON'S RESPONSE: "Jocelyn Benson has spent her career advancing the unfinished work of the civil rights movement and expanding economic opportunity, including helping dismantle white supremacist and neo-Nazi extremist networks responsible for hate crimes across the country," Jocelyn Benson's campaign told Fox News in response to MIGOP's legitimate questions. BENSON CONTINUED: "And while Donald Trump is trying to use his Justice Department to distract from his reckless economic policies that are driving up costs for Michiganders, Jocelyn remains focused on lower costs, raising wages, and protecting the rights and freedoms of the people in this state." Instead of simply answering the question and denying any knowledge of the alleged criminal behavior, Benson invoked the same buzz-words and racially-charged rhetoric that the Democrat Party has been doing for years now. Remember, Benson was appointed to the Board of the SPLC in 2014—the same year that the Department of Justice says it started paying the KKK and other extremist groups. We are not going to let this go. Benson is going to run on this issue, as she feels she can win this race on emotion and racially divisive rhetoric. It is important that she is held accountable and explains what she knew, if anything, about the alleged criminal activity happening within the SPLC during the exact same time she served on the Board. Jocelyn Benson must come forward and explain what she knows about the SPLC's alleged criminal behavior, which spanned for years and made up the very foundation of the Left's non-stop focus on stoking racial division in America.

Моя любимая краткая история СССР. Как только умер Ленин, оказалось, что второй человек в партии, товарищ Троцкий - предатель. Каменев, Зиновьев, Бухарин и Сталин свергли Троцкого и изгнали из СССР. Но через пару лет оказалось, что Каменев, Зиновьев и Бухарин тоже враги и вредители. Тогда доблестный товарищ Генрих Ягода их расстрелял. Чуть позже Ягоду, как вражеского агента, расстрелял Ежов. Но через пару лет оказалось, что и Ежов не товарищ, а обычный предатель и вражеский агент. И Ежова расстрелял Берия. После смерти Сталина, все поняли, что и Берия тоже предатель. Тогда Жуков сверг и расстрелял Берию. Но вскоре Хрущев узнал, что Жуков враг и заговорщик. И сослал Жукова на Урал. А чуть позже вскрылось, что и Сталин-то был врагом, вредителем и предателем. А вместе с ним и большая часть политбюро. Тогда Сталина вынесли из мавзолея, а политбюро и примкнувшего к ним Шепилова разогнали честные партийцы, во главе с Хрущевым. Прошло несколько лет и выяснилось, что Хрущев был волюнтаристом, проходимцем, авантюристом и врагом. Тогда Брежнев отправил Хрущева на пенсию. Вскоре Брежнев умер, и выяснилось, что он был маразматиком, вредителем и причиной застоя. Потом было еще два маразматика, который никто и запомнить не успел, потому что дохли, как мухи. Но тут пришел к власти молодой, энергичный Горбачев. И оказалось, что вся партия была партией вредителей и врагов, но он-то сейчас все исправит... Тут-то СССР и развалился. А Горбачев оказался врагом и предателем.

As an Ex-Muslim, let me explain Muhammad and “The Satanic Verses” in the Quran.  This will shock you. was a good prophet until he wasn't. I wanted to believe he was sincere, that maybe he was just misunderstood, maybe he repented later on in his life.  But the more I studied the timeline of his ministry, the harder it was to ignore the shift. Early Muhammad in Mecca preached peace, talked about one God, and tried to win over Jews and Christians. But later in Medina, that’s when it changed. Suddenly, it transitioned to power and polygamy and violence, and revelations started sounding a lot like personal convenience. Then there’s a part nobody really wants to talk about in apologetics - “the Satanic verses.” Ibn Ishaq, Islam’s earliest biographer, says Muhammad delivered verses that glorified pagan idols and then blamed it on Satan. And you tell me, how does a prophet mistake a demon’s voice for God’s? Imagine if Paul or Peter did that. Imagine if Jesus said, “oops, that part was from the devil.” You would never trust that message again. But with Muhammad, there’s a double standard where you’re not allowed to question. Even when he married a child, took extra wives, and had people killed, you’re told to submit. And that’s when I knew. A real prophet doesn’t serve himself. He sacrifices himself to serve others. Only one man in history never changed under pressure and still laid down his life. And that’s Jesus Christ.

@DonnieDetroit19 With this picture and post, you will never be President.

This you? If the violence has to stop, maybe you should stop encouraging it.

🚨 FULL MANIFESTO: Trump White House Correspondents' Dinner Shooter Cole Allen details his motives and targets: "Hello everybody! So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused. I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for “Most Wanted.” I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.) I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near. I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure. I don’t expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies. On to why I did any of this: I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me. And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. (Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I’ve had to do something about it.) While I’m discussing this, I’ll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but I’m not military so too bad.) Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they’re wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who *aren’t* Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me) Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security National Guard: same as Hotel Security Hotel Employees: not targets at all Guests: not targets at all In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls) I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that. Rebuttals to objections: Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek. Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes. Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this. Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn’t about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be “inconvenient” for people who aren’t the victim? This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with. Objection 3: You didn’t get them all. Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere. Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn’t be the one doing this. Rebuttal: I don’t see anyone else picking up the slack Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered. I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is *astoundingly* incompetent.) Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years. Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years. Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism. Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning. Thank you to the many acquaintances I’ve met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration. Thank you all for everything. Sincerely, Cole “coldForce” “Friendly Federal Assassin” Allen PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone. Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo. What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing. No damn security. Not in transport. Not in the hotel. Not in the event. Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance. I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat. The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before. Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again. Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit. Actually insane. Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it’s awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done. Can’t really recommend it! Stay in school, kids."

There is no "both sides" to this violence. I’m am extremely concerned for this President. They only have to get lucky once.
