To get an idea of how urgently Democrats’ Deep State needs to be addressed, consider that not long ago James Comey was Director of the FBI. Now he is on Instagram posting a call for yet another assassination attempt on Trump in the form of an arrangement of seashells spelling out the code “8647.”

For those unfamiliar with the term, the New York Post published this last April 8:

How much longer will Democrats accept their supporters’ escalating calls for violence? …

In Holland, Mich., Redmond, Ore., and elsewhere, grinning marchers wore shirts and carried placards emblazoned with the number “8647,” pairing the old slang term for murder with a 47 for Trump.

Comey now says he doesn’t know what 8647 means, despite years of experience investigating the sort of people who use “86” to mean “kill.” That would leave him with no reason to have posted the picture.

Comey has shared his political seashell collection with the public before:

Fortunately the FBI is currently under very different management:

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is calling for Comey to be put behind bars. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has announced DHS and the Secret Service are investigating.

It is one thing to place patriots atop federal agencies. It is another to root out the James Comey types likely to thoroughly infest them.

Trump had better drain the Swamp quickly. He may be living on borrowed time.

Jamie Raskin isn’t the only Swamp creature with good reason to oppose DOGE:

Mathieu Zahui, chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation, refused to grant DOGE access to its books and told the White House that the agency would not acknowledge President Donald Trump’s appointee as chairman of the board. After a dramatic showdown in March, DOGE physically took over the building with U.S. Marshals, but control of the agency is now the subject of a lawsuit objecting to “swooping in with DOGE staff, demanding access to sensitive information systems” — an objection that reads differently in light of the criminal probe.

For years, workers at the small, USAID-adjacent federal agency focused on Africa have told oversight bodies about allegations of self-dealing, procurement violations, and mysterious offshore bank accounts, many of them involving Zahui.

Suspicious grants to companies in Africa corresponded with wire payments to Zahui’s bank account.

It isn’t just Zahui. The African Development Foundation doesn’t want anyone poking around because the agency amounts to a crime scene:

By law, the agency is only allowed to give grants to Africa-based groups. But it moved money through African entities and then back to the United States to pad salaries of D.C. bureaucrats and pay their friends and former employers, employees said.

Americans being forced by their government to hand their money over to Africa-based groups is another crime that needs to end.

Even by DC standards, hatred of America’s core population has been rife at the African Development Foundation:

From 2021 until February, the agency was led by CEO Travis Adkins, who came to it after a short stint at USAID as a Joe Biden political appointee.

Adkins’ former assistant, who is black, said in a sworn affidavit that “On at least three occasions, Mr. Adkins told me that he wanted his entire team (to include the General Counsel) to consist only of Black people. He wanted all of his direct reports to be Black.”

The assistant said Adkins would not hire whites or veterans.

Adkins bragged about concealing operations from the board, saying “them white motherf—ers, they don’t need to know… I don’t think I should tell them sh–,” according to the assistant.

The federal behemoth developed by Democrats is an abomination hostile to most Americans and must be flushed clean.

Before popping champagne corks over the many $billions of waste DOGE has saved taxpayers, spare a thought for promising careers that have suffered a setback, as with this former “public affairs specialist”:

Tom Di Liberto, the ousted employee, called his termination from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) “ridiculous” in a Monday interview with CNN’s John Berman… Di Liberto was the creator and star of “Teek and Tom Explore Planet Earth,” an animated series produced by NOAA at a cost exceeding $3 million, according to federal spending records.

The probationary employee was told that his “skills and abilities no longer met the agency’s needs,” now that the Swamp is getting an overdue draining.

Regarding what Di Liberto did for taxpayers,

The five-part series, intended to educate children about Earth’s weather and climate, stars Di Liberto as himself alongside Teek, an apparently androgynous, cyclopean extraterrestrial from the planet “Queloz.” Teek is addressed using they/them, or “gender-neutral” pronouns in transcripts provided on NOAA’s website.

Virtually no one has been watching the videos:

The series’ most popular installment, “Episode 4: An Ocean of Data From Cool Technology,” [had] amassed over 150 views on YouTube as of Monday.

Now that Di Liberto is in the news, it still has only 568 views after being up there for a month. However, with liberals it is not results but politically correct intentions that count.

Here’s how Di Liberto has applied his pricey Ivy League education:

On a tip from Franco.

Elon Musk made heads explode by asking federal employees what they did last week. AP sputters that this has caused “confusion and anger,” not to mention “turmoil.” HHS shrieks that lists of activities/accomplishments will be read by “malign foreign actors.” Why all the hysteria over asking Swamp bureaucrats what they have been doing with the time we pay them for? A chatroom frequented by members of federal intelligence agencies offers a clue:

Apparently DEI selects for degeneracy and depravity in federal hiring.

Rufo reports:

According to our sources, the sex chats were legitimized as part of the NSA’s commitment to “diversity, equity and inclusion.” Activists within the agency used LGBTQ+ “employee resource groups” to turn their kinks and pathologies into official work duties. According to the current NSA employee, these groups “spent all day” recruiting activists and holding meetings with titles such as “Privilege,” “Ally Awareness,” “Pride,” and “Transgender Community Inclusion.” And they did so with the full support of NSA leadership, which declared that DEI was “not only mission critical, but mission imperative.”

In this case, “diversity” was not a byword for racialism, but rather a euphemism for sex talk.

Just as anything liberals don’t like is “bigoted,” anything they do like is “diverse.”

Not all government employees are on board:

The active source at the NSA claimed to have witnessed hundreds of sexually provocative discussions, which, he added, occurred mostly on taxpayer time. The former NSA source who was familiar with the chats recalled being “disgusted” by a particularly shocking thread discussing weekend “gangbangs.”

In intelligence agencies as elsewhere, normal people have been increasingly marginalized — by the militantly “marginalized.”

Warns Rufo,

NSA chat logs suggest the presence of at least hundreds of gender activists within the intelligence services who cannot distinguish between male and female, and who believe that discussing castration, polyamory, and “gangbangs” is an appropriate use of public resources. For psychological and ideological reasons, these kinds of people will not be easily sidelined.

An NSA spokesman has confirmed the sex chats are for real.

The continuing DOGE revelations have reduced the Party of Government to panic. Flustered Democrats have lacked even enough composure to pretend to be opposed to waste, fraud, and abuse. Instead, they have hysterically attacked and even threatened Elon Musk for bringing the scandal to public attention.

Swamp rats look guilty enough in front of cameras. Imagine what is going on behind the scenes. DC area search trends offer a clue:

Earlier this week, internet search trends for “Criminal Defense Lawyer” and “RICO Laws” went viral on X, fueling speculation that Washington’s political elites were in panic mode. The searches coincided with DOGE’s efforts to neuter USAID’s funding of NGOs that propped up a shadow government, as well as begin cutting tens of thousands of workers from various federal agencies.

Search trends have become even more suggestive:

IBAN = International Bank Account Number, a standardized number used by financial institutions to identify individual bank accounts when processing international payments. Bureaucrats are getting our money out of the country while they can.

Other soaring search terms include “wipe” and “erase” — presumably in reference to eradicating evidence of what they have been doing with our money. In support of this assumption, the more explicit terms “wipe hard drive” and “BleachBit” have skyrocketed.

At least lawyers will make out well, as they always do. DC searches for “lawyer” are up 400%.

Another advantage of shining light upon the cockroaches comprising the federal establishment is that as they scatter for crevices, there will be great real estate deals in some of the USA’s wealthiest counties.

Outside the Treasury Building last week, when prominent Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Maxine Waters openly sided with waste, corruption, and unaccountability against taxpayers, the cringe-inducing scene was emblematic of a party entrenched in opposition to the public:

As Gerry Baker puts it:

It was a tableau for the ages, one example of the many strange battle lines the Democratic Party has chosen to defend these past few years: illegal migrants over citizens, teachers unions over parents and children, criminals over victims, men-turned-women over girls.

At least they are consistent. Democrats always side against regular Americans.

Government is supposed to exist for the people, but the DOGE process has laid bare what we have long suspected—that at scale, it exists first and foremost to further the interests of the permanent bureaucracy and their like-minded friends who dominate almost all our major institutions.

What DOGE is doing to the Swamp needs to be extended by the rest of us to the entire liberal establishment:

The accountability DOGE can bring needs to be emulated in other areas of public life where these interests have long dominated, immune from responsibility: radicalized higher education, failing city governments, intellectually corrupt media and entertainment companies.

That would spell doom for Democrats.

Smelling their own extinction, they have succumbed to panic, committing political suicide by defending the indefensible USAID. Ed Morrissey comments:

You know who loves USAID and its unaccountable structure? The progressive Academia elite that run it and other less-than-responsive federal bureaucracies. Why? It appeals to their elitism, and the flow of money without accountability allows for massive manipulations and social engineering. …

You know who hates USAID and other less-than-accountable federal bureaucracies? Everyone else. Almost literally.

They do still have the support of federal bureauweenies. At a rally yesterday outside Capitol Hill,

Hundreds of federal workers gathered for the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) “Rally to Save the Civil Service.”

Rep Maxine Dexter (D-OR) was there to present her party’s pitch to the public:

The Trump Administration caught them by surprise when Musk switched on the kitchen light with his USAID revelations. Rather than retreat under the stove by pretending they didn’t know what was happening to our money, the roaches wag their antennae belligerently. The instinctive reaction is to grab a can of Raid.

Democrats still have the entertainment industry to promote their public image. But as the respective responses to Donald Trump and Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl made obvious, that won’t be enough.

Move over, Soros and Baby Soros. American taxpayers have supplanted you as the most malevolent leftist financiers on the planet — albeit unwittingly via USAID.

It was bad enough that USAID was secretly funding the Democratic Party propaganda platform Politico and RINO snake in the grass Bill Kristol. Yet it gets worse.

Traitors lurking in the Swamp have been giving American taxpayer money to a supranational organization that aspires to supersede the US government — namely the globalist social engineers of the World Economic Forum:

The World Economic Forum wants us to prevent racist climate change by eating insect larvae. It is opposed to the private ownership of cars and phones. The sinister yet silly organization achieves Dr. Evil levels of cartoonish malice, even opposing washing clothes. Its totalitarian ambitions extend to regulating the supply of oxygen.

USAID has also been funding human trafficking, according to Ryan Matta:

The sort of leftists who surreptitiously finance their agenda with our money through USAID preen about how much they revere democracy. However, when elections don’t go their way, USAID money is used in to cripple their opponents politically if not remove them from office:

USAID even funds leftist zillionaire George Soros (who in turn funds the Democratic Party). That’s not all:

“Under the Biden administration, USAID was weaponized to fund leftwing projects and progressive operatives,” [Senator Ted Cruz] noted. “They poured uncountable amounts of money into places like the Hamas-controlled Gaza, knowing it would benefit anti-American and anti-Israel genocidal terrorists—and hid much of it from Congress and the public.” …

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned the “insane priorities” that USAID has funded, mentioning “$1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia’s workplaces, $70,000 for a production of a DEI musical in Ireland, $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia, $32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru.”

No really:

It is worth underscoring, in case treason ever comes to be regarded as a punishable offense, that Joe Biden used USAID to give $1.3 billion to Islamic terrorists. The next 9/11 will be largely financed by American taxpayers.

Originally the USA had three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. The media establishment emerged as a fourth branch. But increasingly, the real power has come to lie elsewhere, as we are choked by the constricting python grip of a hypertrophied federal bureaucracy that is loyal to the Democratic Party but not directly subject to democratic elections.

This deep state comprises a repressive shadow government that has continued to grow in power regardless of who wins any particular election. Not a moment too soon, the Trump Administration is capitalizing on its mandate from voters to make a sincere effort — largely through DOGE — to unwrap the bureaucracy from around our neck by exposing its abuses and trimming it down to side.

Demonstrating the Democrat proclivity to portray everything as the exact opposite of what it really is, Chuck Schumer shouts that those confronting the shadow government represent a shadow government:

“An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.”

As if that wasn’t already enough to overload an irony meter, consider that the absurd mischaracterization above was reposted by Alex Soros.

Alex Soros is the scion of the aging plutocrat George Soros, who through a deluge of donations has helped pull the Democratic Party all the way to the left, and who personifies shadow government by installing radical DAs throughout the country.*

George Soros is still with us, but son George has already taken on his mantle regarding the shadow government. He isn’t secretive about his powerful if unofficial position in the US government:

Now that the good guys are running the Justice Department, the public can find out what the FBI has been up to. It hasn’t been good:

FBI officials have caved to demands from the Justice Department, providing a list of agents involved in the J6 Capitol riot investigations…

More than 5,000 names were coughed up in response to the demand from Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove.

To put it into proper context, there are only roughly 13,000 agents and 38,000 total FBI employees. This means that roughly 13% of the entire FBI was tasked with investigating protestors.

That is, 13% of this bloated federal behemoth devoted itself to hunting down people for taking part in this:

The handful of hooligans who vandalized or assaulted police officers deserved to answer to the law. The rest of the protesters never should have been pestered.

At least hunting down tourists who wandered into the People’s House is better than taking part in SWAT raids to terrorize pro-lifers.

It is unclear whether the 5,000+ number includes agent provocateurs embedded with protesters to stir up something for Democrats to exploit.

Moonbats shriek that trimming some of the fat at the FBI is a five-alarm fire:

But it seems the bureau has plenty of manpower to spare.

On tips from Tlabia Majora and KirklesWorth.

Trump has come out of the gate swinging, landing blow after blow against the moonbats who have been ruining our country. Already leftists plot their revenge. Its petty, insidious, and underhanded nature reflects their character.

Via Daily Mail:

Spiteful federal government workers have vowed to boycott struggling mom-and-pop businesses near their offices after Donald Trump banned remote working.

Regular Americans trying to keep their businesses afloat deserve it for being the type who might have voted for Trump.

Democratic DC mayor Muriel Bowser said she supported Trump’s order because it would bring more people to the downtown economy; she has previously tied a decline in retail and office space revenue to a lack of federal workers in their offices.

Bowser is a moonbat par excellence, but those who support Trump in any way must be punished, if only indirectly. Barks one bureauweenie,

“On principle, I will bring my lunch (or starve) every day rather than give a dime to DC businesses if this is part of the justification. Boycott DC needs to become a thing for all feds ASAP.”

Such people will exploit their own uselessness to stall Trump’s agenda despite his mandate from voters. Via New American:

A White House aide has confessed on video that the Deep State “is real,” and that bureaucrats inside the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) will block the initiatives of incoming Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. …

Their tools will be inertia and outright lying, said Byron Cohen, a White House advisor on pandemic policy. The bureaucracy, he said, will “crush” RFK Jr.

Similar tactics can be expected throughout the federal bureaucracy — providing Trump with even more motivation to drain the Swamp thoroughly.

The illegal aliens Democrats have imported and Trump is exporting may also take revenge:

Democrat presidential candidate Jesse Jackson would likely endorse the spitting in food. Jackson bragged about doing that to white customers’ food when he worked in a restaurant “because it gave me psychological gratification.”

Antifa is the modern Left’s juvenile, mentally unfit answer to Hitler’s Sturmabteilung. It exists to inflict largely random violence so as to intimidate those who might resist the liberal agenda. In light of the Trump assassination attempts, it is alarming to find an Antifa kook in the Secret Service:

An antifascist Redditor and self-proclaimed “anarcho-communist” has been unmasked as a Special Agent for the United States Secret Service (USSS).

Thanks to publicly available information, counter-extremism researchers with the Justice Report can confidently name 30-year-old Thomas Jack “TJ” Hamil—an 1811 employee for the Department of Homeland Security—as a lifelong anarchist, left-wing extremist, and a devout follower of “Antifascist” shock jock Robert Evans.

An 1811 employee is commonly referred to as a “special agent.”

Hamil has opined that Trump supporters are by definition Nazis.

As for qualifications, Hamil says he is on the autism spectrum. This would qualify him for federal hiring priority.

Draining the Swamp will be a task worthy of Hercules.

Assuming the raid on Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan was political retribution as alleged, it may not have been the only way the FBI participated in the election:

House Republicans are demanding more information from the FBI about its use of “software tools” to seek out election-related speech on social media after a bureau analyst mentioned their use during a recent deposition — before being barred from saying any more by FBI lawyers.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan wants “additional information in order to understand whether the FBI has or could use this software tool to censor or infringe upon lawful speech, particularly Americans’ political speech.”

Jordan, who also chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, has for years investigated and criticized the FBI’s role in a broader executive branch effort to curb alleged misinformation and disinformation online.

By now, we recognize “misinformation and disinformation” as euphemisms for speech Democrats want suppressed. Speaking of which, like the CIA, the agency was involved in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story, which likely would have spared us from Biden’s miserable presidency if it had not been smothered. The FBI “pre-bunked” the true story, misleading social media companies regarding the fictitious Russian angle and refusing to publicly confirm the authenticity of the laptop until the 2020 election was safely over with.
