Stephanopoulos: ‘Deep State Is Packed with Patriots’

Pam Key 14 May 2024

ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos said Tuesday on “The View” that he believed the so-called deep state was “packed with patriots.”

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “The book is so good. My favorite thing is you interviewed Situation Room staff. I have always said it’s White House staff whose names you’ll never know are the writers of history. They will tell us so many details.”

Stephanopoulos said, “That was my favorite part about doing the book. I interviewed about a hundred duty officers from the White House and these are people who come, they are relatively young people who come from all over the government, the CIA, the DIA, the Defense Department, military.”

He continued, “Some people like to call those people the deep state. Well, the big thing I learned doing this book is that the deep state is packed with patriots, people who go to work every single day and are on the frontlines of the most intense crises the country faces and do it to serve their country and to serve the presidency, not the president. They don’t care about political parties. They’re there to serve the presidency and the institution.”

Co-host Sunny Hostin added, “And they’re doing it anonymously.”

Stephanopoulos said, “Absolutely. As one of them told me…we serve in silence.”

It makes no sense for America to engage in trade with a Communist government.  The Chi-coms are using trade for subterfuge to steal America's technical and competitive advantages.

Communists cannot be trusted.  The Chi-coms will never allow Western companies unrestricted access to its domestic markets.

How Democrats Helped Create The Israeli 'Genocide' Lie
David Harsanyi


In late February, The Wall Street Journal reported that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar sent a message to superiors shacked up in ritzy Qatari hotels, reminding them that “high civilian casualties [in Gaza] would add to the worldwide pressure on Israel to stop the war.”

Indeed, starting wars and then cowering behind civilians, churning out martyrs, lying about death tolls, and putting on low-budget Pallywood productions for credulous Western audiences is almost as old as Palestinian nationalism itself.

And for over seven months now, world leaders, American politicians, “experts,” and many establishment media figures have regurgitated the wholly unverified casualty numbers provided to them by a terror organization. It is a detestable abdication of duty that feeds the delusions of the far-left/Islamist alliance that’s infected college campuses, media organizations, and the U.S. government. Namely, it gives credibility to the “genocide” myth.

There are the usual offenders — United Nations, The Washington Post, The New York Times, MSNBC, and other organs of the left — but perhaps for the first time in history, the White House has also given these lies credence. In a Ramadan message to the Islamic world, Joe Biden repeated the fantastical claim that “[m]ore than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, most of them civilians, including thousands of children” by Israelis. Samantha Power, now administrator of USAID, made the same claim during National Arab American Heritage Month.

TOPLINE President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced hefty tariff hikes on a range of Chinese imports, including on electric vehicles, semiconductors, batteries and steel, part of an election-year effort to protect American industry amid growing fears Beijing is dumping a glut of cheap exports to shore up its own economy.

There will be a new 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles implemented this year, the White House said in a statement, a four-fold increase from the current rate of 25%, as well as a doubling of the 25% levy imposed on solar cells.

Tariffs on lithium batteries for electric vehicles are also set to increase from 7.5% to 25% this year, the statement said, with the levy hike broadening to cover all lithium batteries by 2026.

The White House also announced new tariffs on medical products like respirators and face masks, as well as steel and aluminium products, which will jump from a range of zero to 7.5% to 25% in 2024, as well as a new tariff of 25% for critical minerals, up from zero, and a 50% levy on semiconductors in 2025, double the current rate.

Some $18 billion worth of Chinese goods will be affected by the new rates, the White House said.

Though the move is likely to inflame already tense relations between Beijing and Washington, the White House said the new measures are necessary to curb “China’s unfair trade practices,” particularly China’s rampant “intellectual property theft” and habit of “flooding global markets with artificially low-priced exports.”

The move follows an “in-depth review” on the matter by U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Katherine Tai and measures are “carefully targeted at strategic sectors” where the Biden Administration is making “historic investments,” the White House said.

Cohen says he regrets breaking his 'moral compass' working for Trump
By Ben Kochman

In the last question asked by prosecutors before the lunch break, Michael Cohen said he regrets breaking his "moral compass" with his work for Donald Trump.

"I regret doing things for him that I should not have, lying, bullying people in order to effectuate the goal," he testified.

"I don't regret working for the Trump Organization. As I expressed before, I had some very interesting and great times," he added. "But to keep the loyalty and to do things that he asked me to do, it violated my moral compass and I suffered a penalty, as did my family."

We'll be back with cross-examination at 2:15.

F Carlson Tucker.

1.) Harry Truman was a Democrat - no need for bleeding heart Republican guilt and self-loathing.

2.) The Japanese chose to invade the Philippines and Guam, and to bomb Pearl Harbor - Japan was the agressor.  It was Japan's mistake to start a war they could not finish.

3.) Those two atomic bombs, by convincing the Japanese to surrender sooner, saved millions of American, Allied, and Japanese lives.  A land invasion of the Japanese Home Islands would have been a meat grinder, with the Japanese fighting to the death, maximizing Allied and Japanese casualties.

America needed to do what it did in the moment to protect American lives.

We used to have a Government that worked in the best interest of America and Americans.  Not anymore.

If Ukraine had kept its nukes, the Russians may not have invaded.

Many years ago, I had a pt whose unit was one of those that we going to be invading mainland Japan

Unlikely he agrees with Carlson

I have a family member, now since deceased, who would have been in the first wave; he most definitely did not agree with Carlson.
