A Very Deep State

Donald Trump has spent a lot of time talking about a 'deep state'. He has felt used, abused and threatened by bad actors in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the Republican Party and his own White House. Bad, bad people all out to get him.

But in reality we have been given a glimpse into his own 'deep state': Children & toddlers disappearing around the country in the middle of the night. And think about it, they have no identification, they have no passports, nothing. Yet they and their handlers are walking through airports and flying on airlines, who by the way, try to deny their involvement. Try that yourself. Somehow TSA is waving these folks through. Airlines, police and military are all participating without question. Police deny access to properties by the media and public officials. Contractors move children with gag orders.

In the midst of all of this, First Lady, Melania Trump travels to Texas and meets what are described as smiling & happy children. She checks out neatly made beds and listens to a Lutheran shelter explain that everything is fine for these 55 children. No need for mothers here. All is well. A very deep state indeed.
