"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.
From time to time, we have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price."
--Ronald Reagan

The perfect quote, Jim Robinson.
Reagan knew about the deep state.

“Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take....
OUR FREEDOM!”

especially given that its aging children just impeached an American president on articles nowhere found in the Constitution, after weaponizing the FBI, CIA, and DOJ in an attempt to abort a presidential campaign and then presidency.

Further more, this was carried out by an ineligible usurper.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
His Kenyan national/British subject father made him a Kenyan national/British subject.
Anyone born with more than ONE nationality is by definition not NATURALLY an American.

I live next to a cemetery. My first wife, and her parents, are buried there. The sun is shining, and it's a nice day. I think I'll take a walk in the cemetery. I don't think I'll bother the people buried there, nor they me. Nor will we give each other any viruses.

Experts with all sorts of Ph.D.s, M.D.s, and J.D.s after their names lecture from authority about what we must right now do or else! on the principle that they have a scientific or technocratic prerogative to impress critics of their modeling or their demand that we shut down a $22-trillion economy for 18 months, if need be.Insanity. What do they think would be left if we remain shut down for eighteen months?
This situation must stop.

For some, the Sixties can at last be made manifest especially given that its aging children just impeached an American president on articles nowhere found in the Constitution, after weaponizing the FBI, CIA, and DOJ in an attempt to abort a presidential campaign and then presidency.There must be a reckoning.

Sure as hell feels like it, already.
Even the typos understand.

Napoleonic governors", "Experts...[with] Ph.D.s, M.D.s, and J.D.s after their names..." Then we've got billionaires with family ties simultaneously to the British Queen and Rockefellers--which, by the way was how they got so much black slush fund and investment monies to become rich (e.g., on the back of a first-day 100M operating system purchase commitment for Windows 95), not due to Bill's natural charms or intellectual prowess, but rather, bullying aggressiveness--pushing us headlong into globalist socialism.
Here's a couple of his quotes from just the last two days:
