Fake News ‘Journalists’ Love the Deep State

The Fourth Estate is constitutionally illiterate.

On Sunday morning’s Meet the Press, NBC News hack Kristen Welker pressed newly sworn-in Attorney General Todd Blanche to “pledge that the Justice Department will always act independently of the White House.”  The fake “journalist” performed this bit of moralizing theater with her “very serious” face, as if to suggest that the nation’s survival depended upon Blanche’s answer.  Blanche calmly swatted Welker’s solicitation away, while pointing out that no competent, law-abiding attorney general should ever make such an absurd pledge.

It was another ridiculous moment in “journalism” and reminded viewers that the biggest names in corporate news are stupid, partisan, and duplicitous.  Why would Welker believe that she is entitled to demand some kind of public oath from the attorney general?  Why does she think the United States should have an “independent” Department of Justice?  Does she not understand that the DOJ is part of the Executive Branch?  Is she not aware that AG Blanche serves in President Trump’s cabinet?  Does she not realize that Trump is his boss?  Does she not grasp that AG Blanche is now seventh in the presidential line of succession?

Many idiot “reporters” ran to social media so that they could be seen collapsing on their digital fainting couches.  “Pretty amazing confession here by the AG,” moron Chuck Todd whimpered before further whining, “Still can’t believe he was confirmed.  I guess he gets points for being honest?”  Yes, Chuck, it is stunning that the attorney general recognizes his constitutional obligation to serve the president of the United States.  AG Blanche has “confessed” that he is not a rogue dictator empowered to run the Department of Justice by kingly prerogative.  (Be careful kids: Mixing too much Kristen Welker and Chuck Todd in the same Kool-Aid punch bowl will kill millions of brain cells.)

What is it with these people?  They scream constantly about America’s descent into dictatorship, and then they demand that administrative department heads rule the country with complete disregard for the constitutional authority of the elected president.  Welker and Todd’s insistence that the AG behave as a monarch beholden to no-one reeks of the same foul odor that the corporate news media produced on an industrial scale during COVID.

When the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, was telling the world, “I represent science,” and, “Now is the time to do what you are told,” fake “journalists” clapped like seals.  Fauci and his fellow institutional health frauds ordered people to wear useless masks, stay indoors, and inject their bodies with experimental mRNA serums, and the so-called Fourth Estate — the self-adulating phonies who claim to speak truth to power — told anyone with a functioning brain to stop questioning the omniscient Dr. Fauci and obey the mass murderer’s (hey, anyone who helped fund the creation of COVID in a Wuhan bioweapons laboratory before conspiring with the pharmaceutical industry to pump poison into every human being surely must be guilty of crimes against humanity) every command.

Now that the COVID Era has been exposed as a wretched period in which pseudoscience and fake “expertise” were weaponized to justify the rapid onslaught of government totalitarianism and the obliteration of the Bill of Rights, any journalist worthy of the job title should be more wary than ever of administrative state megalomaniacs wielding unconstrained power.  Instead, the Welkers and Todds of journalism’s inbred propaganda class beg for new Deep State authority figures to act unilaterally.  Corporate news talking heads call President Trump an “authoritarian” while expressing shock when unelected bureaucrats refrain from mimicking fraud Fauci’s cult leader demeanor.

This is who they are.  Corporate “journalists” despise the Constitution.  They sneer at Americans who speak of their God-given rights.  They worship so-called “experts.”  They pray at the altar of the permanent government bureaucracy.  They probably all have tattoos expressing deep love for the Deep State.  When the “right” candidate wins an election — such as King Barack Hussein Obama II — the Welkers and Todds of “journalism’s” obsequious priestly caste demand that the American people treat the Fourth Estate-approved president as part demigod, part adoptive father.

The Kristen Welkers and Chuck Todds of “journalism’s” pathetically myopic clique of Democrat Party bootlickers never protested when corrupt Attorney General Eric Holder (who turned the USA PATRIOT Act into a weapon for spying on political enemies) referred to himself as Obama’s “wingman.”  They said nothing when Attorney General Merrick Garland and Democrat prosecutors Jack Smith, Matthew Colangelo, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis worked with Joe Biden’s White House to imprison President Trump for the rest of his natural life.  They said nothing when the Biden White House conspired with Democrat prosecutors and judges to impose “gag orders” on President Trump while he was campaigning for re-election.  They said nothing when the Biden White House dedicated significant FBI and DOJ resources to hunting down J6 protesters and inexcusably defaming them as “traitors,” “seditionists,” and “domestic terrorists.”  They said nothing when the Biden White House investigated, threatened, and prosecuted Trump’s attorneys, employees, and associates.  They said nothing when Biden’s DOJ harassed and intimidated hundreds of MAGA-aligned organizations, donors, and influencers.  They said nothing when Biden’s DOJ spied on Republican members of Congress while pursuing “seditious conspiracy” charges against Trump.  They said nothing when members of the Biden White House used an autopen to pardon hundreds of violent criminals.  While Obama and Biden used the DOJ to ruin the lives of ordinary Americans for the “crime” of having “incorrect” political beliefs, the Welkers and Todds of “journalism’s” toxic junkyard ignored the pungent stink of White House corruption.

What’s particularly galling about Welker and Todd’s constitutional illiteracy is each buffoon’s insistence that independent bureaucrats somehow safeguard “democracy.”  Unelected government employees do not represent the American people.  To accord them more power than elected officials is to weaken the public’s control over their own government.  Treating the Faucis, Holders, Garlands, Brennans, and Comeys as if they possess distinct Executive power derived separately from that of the president’s is not conducive to a constitutional republic.  It is the gateway drug to future dictatorship.
