Greetings from New Jersey, formerly the Garden State, and currently the State of confusion and quarantine.  The Wuhan “Kung” Flu, and our proximity to New York City, has us in lock-down mode, “stay at home,” most businesses shuttered.  That hasn’t stopped New Jerseyans  from interacting though.

We are a hearty breed.  While we languish at home, watching the stock market shed one third of its value, while our life savings disappear before our eyes, and while thousands of  businesses are gone forever, we can take solace in the fact that Congress is diligently working on the problem.  God help us.  With the House of Representatives mercifully not in session, the Senate, the greatest deliberative body on the face of the Earth (by its own admission) came riding to the rescue.  Never fear.  The Senate will take charge.  However, as things turned out, instead of the U.S. Cavalry, we got –

That’s right, Faccia di Cazzo, Chuck Schumer, and his merry band of Bolsheviks, a/k/a the Democrat Caucus, fiddled while the virus burned through America.  The Senate had a relief bill, a bill, just for the record, that Senate Democrats co-wrote.  The bill was to provide $1 trillion in aid, or $1.4 trillion, or $2 trillion, which would provide for direct payments to unemployed people, extend unemployment insurance, defer loan payments, and provide aid to industries hardest hit by the virus, like the airlines and cruiselines.  All of these things were in the bill last weekend, but then a strange thing happened.  Nancy Pelosi flew in on her broom, false teeth clicking, and decided to kill the Senate bill, which Democrats filibustered Sunday night.  Schumer announced that no Democrat would support it because the bill “provides no aid for workers.”  Apparently checks for $3,000 directly to workers don’t count, so that was a Democrat lie.  Then Schumer criticized aid to companies, as “a slush fund” for the rich.  Another lie.  How is that Democrats won’t accept that if the company goes under, workers will have no job to go back to.  Then it got worse.  Nancy Pelosi’s House Socialists saw an opportunity.  As Democrat House Whip James Clyburn put it, the bill was “a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”  Remember, this at a time when millions are suddenly unemployed, tens of thousands are being infected with the Wuhan virus, hospitals are awaiting vital funding, and hundreds a day are dying.  It turned out the Democrat vision for America is America as Venezuela.  The Democrats saw the already bloated virus bill, as people sicken and die, and our economy faces its worst challenge since the Great Depression, as an opportunity to blackmail the nation into enacting all the loony, left-wing, Communist bullshit they have been peddling since Il Duce Obama came on the scene.  O.K., Pelosi and Schumer said, we’ll let you have money for hospitals, we’ll let you send checks to workers, we’ll even let you save large and small businesses to deal with this virus thing, but here’s what we demand: 1. Corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for corporate boards of companies receiving assistance; 2. Bail out all current debt of the Postal Service (the one entity still in business); 3. early voting in all States; 4.  same day voter registration; 5. a $10,000, or $30,000 bailout for student loans; 6. For companies accepting assistance, 1/3 of board members must be chosen by workers, meaning unions  (like the Soviet Union?); 7. expand union collective bargaining; 8. Full offset of airline emissions by 2025 (Green New Deal); 9. Greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights; 10. Pensions for community newspaper employees; 11. $15 minimum wage at companies receiving assistance (so long small business); 12. Permanent paid leave at companies receiving assistance.  Also, $35 million for the Kennedy Center, and oh yes, full funding for Planned Parenthood.  This bullcrap so outraged Mitch McConnell that his lips actually moved when he spoke, “Democrats won’t let us fund hospitals or save small businesses until they get to dust off the Green New Deal.  This has got to stop.  And today is the day it has to stop.  The country is out of time.”  Susan Collins, no conservative stalwart, warned that Democrats were “playing with fire.”  Tom Cotton was less genteel, shouting, “Come on, this is bullshit!”  Louisiana Senator John Kennedy hit the nail on the head, “You know what the American people are thinking right now, Mr. President?  They are thinking that this country was founded by geniuses, but it is being run by a bunch of idiots.”  Amen brother.  As this is written, the Senate has agreed on and passed a $2.2 trillion bill.  It’s been suggested that the Democrats, namely Pelosi, caved on their Socialist wishlist,  but we haven’t seen all the details.  Pelosi just said she is “open” to the Senate plan, “America is facing a grave health crisis with a serious impact on our economy.  I salute the strong leadership of Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats.”  Pelosi can put all the lipstick she wants on that pig, but it’s still a pig, and she’s still the Queen of Pork Barrel politics.  The truth is Pelosi and the repulsive Democrats used an unprecedented public health emergency to try to rob the American taxpayers.  And it wasn’t just the AOC crazy wing of the Democrat Party.  Every Democrat in the Senate voted twice to kill the Senate bill to permit the attempted Socialist holdup.  Next time they tell you about “moderate” Democrats, don’t believe it.  Every one of the bastards was complicit in the attempted hijack.  And it’s not over yet.  The Senate has voted, but the House has to approve the bill.  Just one obstructive imbecile, former Republican Jason Amash has applied for the job, can delay all the aid, and force House members to travel back to D.C.  Even I didn’t think Democrats could stoop so low.  They’re creating a panic that they want to continue.  A broken economy and lots of dead people is good for Democrat election chances – or so they assume.  They claim the President is mishandling the crisis, but they offer no alternatives.  Just lies.  If they’ll exploit a dire emergency, they’ll stop at nothing.  When you go to the polls remember, Democrats lied and people died.

Once upon a time, the media complained that President Trump didn’t give them enough opportunities to question him at press conferences.  The Wuhan Flu crisis has changed all that.  Almost every day, the President and his Virus Taskforce have appeared to report and answer questions.  The media wanted more press conferences because they thought that their questioning would be damaging to Trump.  It hasn’t worked out they way they expected.  President Trump has taken decisive action, and has backed up his actions by having the medical experts front and center to explain the whys and wherefores.  The experts told us that the numbers of infected people would go way up, and we have seen that happen.  The President daily has demonstrated that he is in command.  The expanded opportunities for the media to trip up the President have had the opposite effect.  The media has managed only to expose its own narrow-minded, petty and doctrinaire devotion to identity politics, tinged as it is with its insatiable hatred for all things Trump.  Someone once said, and now that I think about it, it might have been me, “While the eagles fly, the magpies squawk.”  President Trump and his team are the eagles, while the squawking media has merely covered itself in shame.  A timeline is in order.  The Wuhan Flu sprung up in Wuhan, China in the Fall.  It has been suggested that it came from the live animal market there, perhaps from bats.  That’s possible.  The Ebola Zaire virus (from the area near the Ebola River, in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) came from fruit bats.  Another possibility is that the Wuhan Level Four biological laboratory was studying viral agents and this new flu bug escaped.  Either way, in the Fall, the Chinese government knew that the seeds had been sown for a pandemic.  In order to have a pandemic, you need three things: 1) a new flu virus; 2) evidence that the virus has crossed from one species (e.g. bats) to humans; and 3) evidence that the virus can be spread from person to person.  The first person in China with the new pneumonia-like illness appeared on December 1st.  He worked at the so-called “wet market.”  The market was not closed until January 12th.  On December 27th, China told the WHO about a new virus.  They had many new cases in Wuhan in December, but the Chinese government insisted that the virus was not being spread from person to person.  On December 30th, a Chinese doctor reported the new virus, but was reprimanded and told not to post anything about it.  Days later, 8 doctors were “brought in for questioning” for posting information about the virus.  The Chinese had mapped the genetic makeup of the virus by January 2nd.  This information was not released to world health agencies until January 9th, and then without the consent of the Chinese government.  Meanwhile, as the virus was spreading in Wuhan, the Chinese government allowed travel and other preparations for the January 25th Lunar New Year celebrations to continue, and some 5 million people from Wuhan left the city before travel restrictions were begun on January 23rd.  The virus spread in China.  As this is written, China claims about 81,000 people were infected.  Problem is, they lie.  In December, a nurse in Wuhan claimed that 90,000 people had already been infected.  As of January 11th, the Chinese were telling the world there were no new cases in Wuhan.  That was a lie.  Meanwhile, between December and January 31st, when the President cut off flights from China, some 500,000 Chinese entered the U.S.  Since then, China has claimed no new cases.  Don’t know if that’s true, and now the Chinese, aided by the Russians, are spreading propaganda claiming that the Wuhan Flu was brought to China by U.S. military members.  Is the magpie media upset by Chinese duplicity?  No.  Is the magpie media now outraged that the Russians (about whom they have expressed great concern over collusion) are now engaged in collusion intended to damage the United States during a public health crisis?  No.  At what is the magpie media outraged?  President Trump dares to call the virus, the China or Wuhan virus.  How dare he?  Doesn’t he know that’s xenophobic and racist?  More importantly, doesn’t he know the Chinese don’t like it?  Nevermind, that before Trump called it the Wuhan virus, all throughout January and February, media magpies, on MSNBC no less (and there is no less) were themselves calling it the Chinese or Wuhan virus.  Nevermind that other viruses have been named Spanish, Hong Kong, Russian, West Nile, Marburg, even Ebola Reston (Virginia).  This is evidence of the underlying media mental disease, Trump Derangement Syndrome.  When President Trump said “Wuhan,” that automatically made it racist.  ABC reporter Cecilia Vega challenged the President, “Why do you call it Chinese?  Isn’t that racist?”  The answer was pure Trump.  It was aimed at the Chinese/Russian propaganda. “The Chinese are claiming that the virus was brought to China by the U.S.  That can’t happen.  As long as I’m President, that’s not going to happen.”  Another reporter claimed an Administration employee called the virus “the Kung Flu,” but she wouldn’t say who.  I kind of like it.  Kung Flu it is.  Simply put, the media has learned nothing from this crisis.  They don’t see the government working at top speed.  They don’t see people working together and Federal-State cooperation across Party lines.  They do see a silver lining to the Wuhan Kung Flu.  Ready for this?  Christine Amanpour and the New York Times have said the Flu’s worldwide lockdowns have resulted in less driving and other travel, and that has helped to reduce “the existential threat” to humanity, climate change.  I shit you not.  The media people should be tested, for something.  They are now crazier than their Democrat masters, some of whom, to include Nancy Pelosi, Andrew Cuomo, Gavin Newsome, and even Ilhan Omar, have praised Trump’s leadership.  No, it won’t last, but it was nice to hear.  Bottom line, ignore the magpies, and listen to the eagles.

It’s official, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared what is commonly called the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic.  I’m not discounting this, but then again, I’ve seen the head of the WHO on TV, and he does not inspire confidence.  The media is whipping up a world-wide panic.  This is a serious disease, to be sure, but let’s get things in the proper context.  First of all, the name.  It’s being called COVID-19 virus because, and only because, the Chinese object to the virus being linked to China, and officials are kow-towing to the Chinese.  I won’t.  Ebola Zaire is named for the river region where it originated.  Lyme disease was from a town in Connecticut.  MERS  is Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, which came from bats in Saudi Arabia.  We’ll come back to the bats, but you see the point.  This virus came from Wuhan, China.  Depending on which story you choose to believe, it either originated in the raw meat markets of Wuhan, where the Chinese buy and consume such delicacies as bats (see above) and pangolins  (I never heard of them either, think of a fat ugly anteater) , or else it somehow escaped from China’s only Level Four biological laboratory, which is in Wuhan.  That lab, perhaps not coincidentally, was studying and experimenting with various corona viruses, so the release of COVID-19 could be viewed either as an accident or as a successfully engineered mutation.  Either way, either the virus or the government killed the doctor who was running the lab.  This virus started in China, the Chinese knew it was a big problem last October, didn’t warn their people, didn’t warn the WHO, or anyone else in the world, and took no steps to control its spread until after it was too late.  For these reasons, I’m calling this thing the Wuhan Flu.  If the Chinese don’t like it, then that’s another Christmas card I won’t be getting.  So, it’s the Wuhan Flu, and the Wuhan Flu is now being used by Democrats to bash President Trump.  I’d like to say this surprises me, but alas, it doesn’t.  Every time I think the Democrats can’t go any lower, they double down and set a new limbo record.  How low can they go?  No telling.  They couldn’t defeat the President in 2016, so they accused him of Russian collusion.  That failed, and will likely find some former Obama Administration officials under indictment.  They tried to impeach the President over nothing, and that failed.  In January, while Democrats were pursuing the impeachment sham, the danger of the Wuhan Flu came to light.  In January, President Trump organized the Corona virus Taskforce and stopped all flights coming in from China.  This turned out to be a good thing, as thousands of Chinese traveled to the U.S. every day.  The President also put restrictions on people coming in from Italy, Japan and South Korea, and mandated 14 day quarantines for people at risk.  These steps kept the spread of the Wuhan Flu down in the U.S., while China, Japan, Korea and Italy saw thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths.   Did President Trump get a “thank you” for his foresight?  No.  Democrats complained that banning Chinese from entering the country was racist.  MSNBC, says calling it Wuhan is itself racist.  Sick yet?  Trump was bashed for not having millions of test kits ready in February for a disease we only learned about in January.  The notion that this President, or any president spends his time deciding what diseases we should test for is absurd, but the Democrats went one better.  Almost every night, we get a report from the Corona Virus Taskforce.  Every high-ranking professional from the CDC and the NIH participate, and it’s clear the medical professionals are running the show, but Democrats complain that the Trump Administration is incompetent.  What they’re doing is wrong.  What should they do?  Democrats won’t say.  They are openly gleeful at the prospect of a damaged economy, a frightened public and are hoping for as many deaths as possible.  You sick yet?  I don’t mean from the virus.  We know Wuhan Flu is more deadly than the normal influenza we get every winter.  But consider.  Doctors say this is a moderate flu season.  Ordinary influenza has killed over 20,000 Americans.  In a bad year, we lose more than 60,000 to the flu.  The Wuhan Flu so far has killed 4,700 people worldwide.  Italy, with 1/5 our population has over 825 deaths.  In the U.S., as this is written, there are 1,400 cases and 39 deaths, all elderly or older people with underlying medical conditions that compromised their immune systems or their lungs.  29 of the deaths are in Washington State, with most coming from one nursing home.  Had the President not ordered “racist” travel restrictions, and had hundreds of thousands of infected travelers been admitted in February, where would we be?  As this is written, travel from Europe has been halted for 30 days.  Princess Cruises has shut down till May.  The NBA and NHL suspended their seasons.  Schools are closing.  Things are so bad that New York even cleaned the subway stations.  They cancelled the St. Patrick ‘s Day parade.  I hate all parades, so I don’t care.  I don’t want to downplay the risks, but consider.  The 2009-2010 Swine Flu infected 60 million Americans and killed 18,000.  Nothing was closed.  This suggests that there’s something about Wuhan that the experts think is different.  Was it manufactured by China?  Don’t know.  We need to be careful, but hysteria is unwarranted.  This will end.  The stock market will recover, and Democrats will find something else to blame Trump for.  So I’m good and sick.  Not from the flu.  I’m sick of the hype, and I’m sick of Democrats hoping for recession and death.  Most of all, at age 65, when I add the Wuhan Flu to all the other things that are liable to kill me at any moment, it’s not so bad.  It would be nice if Democrats would put down their brick bats and think about the citizens for once.  They won’t.  They’d rather see you die than work with the President.  Sick.

The Bible’s Book of Revelation is the New Testament’s prediction of the apocalypse, or End Times.  No, I haven’t taken up sack cloth and ashes, nor have I begun to roam the countryside preaching that the end is near.  I don’t have to, and that’s the point of this piece.  We already have an organization that’s been preaching the apocalypse for as long as I can remember – it’s the Democrat Party.  Think about it.  On virtually every issue, the Democrats promise us that the end is near.  It’s always the same song.  Every year, no matter what Republicans are doing, Democrats preach the same gospel.  “Armageddon.  Millions will die!”  They warn of extreme privations that can be cured only when we surrender more of our rights to government masterminds.  It’s right out of the Book of Revelation.  St. John would be proud.  My thoughts went to Revelation in the wake of the Democrats’ latest outrage over Coronavirus.  Unable to defeat Donald Trump over orthodox political issues, Democrats, and their media lackeys, have seized on a disease as their latest hope of ridding themselves of this troublesome president.  In Revelation, we learn of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  Revelation was written in the First Century.  It was thought to refer to Roman Emperors, but it’s equally applicable to today’s Democrats.  Revelation 6:2: “I looked, and there before me was a white horse!  Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.”  There was a time when the political Parties had more similarities than they had differences.  Each Party had its own ideas about how to get things done, to be sure, but there was a commonality of purpose. Both Parties recognized the Constitution as the law of the land, not just an obstruction on the way to absolute power.  The two Parties worked together when necessary, and our national security was always more important than the next victory.  Now there is no consensus on anything, not even on public health.  It didn’t start with Coronavirus.  Long before this flu season, in their mindless zeal to advance identity politics, Democrats were telling us that screening people entering the country for communicable diseases was a racist policy that offended groups they hoped to cultivate as likely voters.  How is it that the dangers of spreading AIDS, cholera and tuberculosis can be overlooked?  It’s because, for Democrats, politics isn’t about convincing voters they’re right, it’s about conquest.  Behold a white horse.  Revelation 6:4: “Then another horse came out, a fiery red one.  Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.” The second horseman is said to represent civil war.  Who in this country is preaching revolution?  Why it’s Democrat frontrunner Bernie Sanders.  He’s openly advocating the revolution to come, promising to scrap the system that has created all the wealth that he vows to strip from the underserving sinners who earned it.  All Bernie needs is the red horse, he’s already old enough to have biblical roots.  Revelation 6:5: “and there before me was a black horse!  Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.  Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures (the Squad?), saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!’”  The third horseman of the Apocalypse refers to a great famine to come.  The scales are necessary to dole out what little food is left to the starving masses.  This is right out of the Democrat playbook.  They are forever predicting that Republican policies will starve the poor.  “Think about the children!”  Your grandmother reduced to eating dogfood.  But once again, this Democrat foretelling of doom demonstrates their utter inability to perceive irony.  Privation and famine result not from the policies they seek to change, but from their own quest for a socialist worker’s paradise, in which the government controls all from the cradle to the grave.  The people of Venezuela aren’t suffering from the effects of supply-side economics.  Their abject poverty is the direct result of unbridled socialism, to the point where they have run out of dogfood, and have taken to eating the dogs.  This is the promise of Red Rider Bernie Sanders.  Can’t you just picture President Sanders’ Treasury Secretary Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, astride her black horse with her scales held high?   Revelation 6:8: “I looked, and there before me was a pale horse!  Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.  They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.”  The Fourth Horseman is also known by the names “Pestilence” or “Plague.”  This one is ripped right from the latest headlines.  Just watch any of the news conferences being given by the Coronavirus Task Force.  First, they criticized the fact that Vice-President Pence was put in charge of the Task Force.  “Why, he’s, he’s, religious.  He may rely on his religious or political beliefs instead of on the medical professionals.”  Never mind that the medical professionals are all standing behind him answering the questions.  They keep saying the risk to Americans from the virus is low, but Democrats won’t have that.  They’re rooting for pestilence and plague, because they figure it will help them get elected.  Dr. Fauci, “The risk is low.”  “Sure, doctor, but when can we expect the inevitable nationwide epidemic that will kill thousands, and it’s all Trump’s fault?”  Who are the really sick people here, those with the virus, or the media whores?  The Book of Revelation ends with the second coming.  Despite the cries of the Democrat Jeremiahs, I don’t think they’re foretelling the advent of Bernie Sanders.  More likely, what’s coming is the second term of Donald Trump.

The title of this week’s work is a combination of  movie and book titles.  Witness for the Prosecution is a great old Billy Wilder film starring Charles Laughton.  Meanwhile, humorist P.J. O’Rourke wrote a book about Congress entitled, Parliament of Whores.  Stay with me, I’ll put this together.  The subject of this piece is President Trump’s so-called “purge” of the intelligence community in general, and Adam Schiff for brains’ star witness, Lt. Colonel  Alexander Vindman specifically.  Lt. Colonel Vindman was on the staff of the National Security Council.  He listened in on the Trump call to Ukranian President Zelensky.  Vindman decided that what the President did on the call was “improper,” and that his Commander in Chief was undermining the relationship between the United States and Ukraine, the country from which he emigrated, and which previously had offered him the job of Defense Minister.  He then went outside his chain of command, complaining to a State Dept. official, and to “an unnamed intelligence operative,” who some believe is Eric Ciaramella, the so-called whistleblower.  From there, Vindman went right onto Schiff for brains’ witness list.  He righteously testified in the Parliament of Whores that he was only serving his country (which one?) and doing his duty, thus proving Samuel Johnson’s observation that, “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.”  Following the impeachment acquittal, President Trump removed Vindman and his brother from the National Security Council for insubordination, and had them reassigned.  The Democrats, and their media lapdogs were indignant.  How dare Trump dishonor a decorated soldier?  They really have no institutional memory, or they might have recalled the tenure of General Michael Flynn with the Obama Administration’s Defense Intelligence Agency.  Flynn clashed with other Obama officials and he was fired, after having been accused of having an improper relationship with a female Russian academic by, ready for this, FBI informant Stefan Halper, yes the same Stefan Halper who the FBI later used to smear George Papadopolous.  The Russian woman is now suing Halper for lying about her.  Democrats accuse the President of purging the intelligence community of dedicated professionals.  The question is, “dedicated to what?”  Ever wonder why the President might do such a thing?  There are many good reasons.  Mollie Hemingway, at The Federalist, recently wrote an article detailing the illegal actions taken by the CIA and FBI against this president.  The FBI investigated four Trump campaign aides early in the 2016 campaign.  The four were Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.  The New York Times admitted that multiple overseas intelligence assets were deployed against Trump associates.  FBI informant Stefan Halper was tasked with collecting intelligence on the Trump campaign.  The so-called “intelligence community” that Democrats once hated, but now, apparently support, blatantly interfered in a national election.  Russian collusion in 2016?  No!  It’s FBI, CIA, State and Justice Department collusion you should be worried about.  The Times has finally admitted what honest people saw 2 years ago.  The “intelligence community” sent a woman overseas under the fake name,“Azra Turk,” to oversee the spy operation.  The Times says she works for an unidentified federal intelligence agency.  (Can you say CIA?)  “Turk” claimed to be assisting Halper.  She targeted George Papadopoulos, who reports now disclose was helping U.S. intelligence.  She tried to plumb Papadopolous for information about Russia and other topics.  After the Times published its article on “Turk,” Papadopolous wrote on Twitter that she “clearly was not FBI” and instead “was CIA and affiliated with Turkish intelligence.”  Why target Papadopolous?  He dared to work for Trump.  Meanwhile, who was in charge of the “intelligence community” at the time?  That would be James Comey, the FBI director Trump fired in 2017, and ex-CIA Director John Brennan and ex-DNI James Clapper, both of whom now work for fake news CNN, and who now spend their days attacking Trump on TV, decrying Trump’s “dangerous erosion of U.S. norms.”  That’s what this is all about.  The “norm,” as far as the “intelligence community” is concerned, is that they control whoever happens to get elected president.  They haven’t been able to control Donald Trump, therefore it is Trump who is dangerous.  The indignation of the “intelligence community” increased when President Trump fired the acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Joseph Maguire, and replaced him with Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell.  This move came after Democrats, considering the prospect of Bernie Sanders as their national candidate, revived the Russian collusion narrative.  Schiff for brains was briefed about speculation that the Russians would use a misinformation campaign to interfere with the 2020 election.  Not really a revelation, as the Russians have been doing that for 100 years.  It was suggested that Russia sought to get Trump re-elected.  Schiff for brains immediately told the media, and CNN was ecstatic.  But even fake news CNN had to walk that back when it came to light that Bernie Sanders’ campaign was notified the Russians were trying to help him, and that there is no evidence, that is NO EVIDENCE, of any attempt to help Trump.  So Maguire was out and Grenell was in, as acting Director.  The story is that Grenell, who is being criticized as “a Trump loyalist,” will stay in the job only long enough to clear out the remaining deep State subversives from the various intelligence agencies.  You see, Donald Trump knew in 2017 that he had to get rid of the snakes in the intelligence swamp.  General Flynn was about to start canning them in 2017, but the Deep State got Flynn before he got them.  Remember Chuck Schumer’s warning?  “If you mess with the intelligence community, they have six ways to Sunday to get back at you.”  We’ve had Flynn, Manafort, Roger Stone, the Mueller investigation and the impeachment scam.  That’s five ways.  Wonder what the 6th way will be.  The intelligence scum have managed to dodge the ax for more than three years.  The latest so-called purge is long overdue.  The Chicago Sun-Times says the purge “sends the signal once again that President Trump is not a respecter of the United States intelligence services.”  Given the foregoing, what respect do they deserve?  All of them are whores, doing the dirty work of the Parliament of Whores.  Good riddance.
