Where are the arrests? Where are the show trials? Where’s the congressional dog and pony show? I mean, isn’t this coordinated effort to weaken our commander-in-chief and eat away at the cohesion within our military and our intelligence services an act of insurrection or — dare we say it? — treason?

Two can play at this Democrat game, right?

At issue is a brief and melodramatic video posted on Tuesday by Michigan Senator and 2028 presidential hopeful Elissa Slotkin. The video enlists the help of five other Democrat lawmakers — fellow Senator Mark Kelly, and Representatives Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, Chrissy Houlahan, and Jason Crow — and it all but encourages insubordination among our warriors and our intelligence services by repeatedly telling them to “refuse illegal orders” and ominously warning them that “the threats to our Constitution are coming from right here at home,” all without having the guts or the decency to even name any of these threats.

The video also claims, again without evidence, “This administration is pitting our uniform military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens.” This is despicable. And clearly, it isn’t just directed toward the lonely leftist holdovers still embedded within our nation’s defense and national security apparatus. It’s also a message of general incitement to those already in the throes of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Just what are these “threats to our Constitution” that Slotkin and company are shrieking about without evidence? We don’t know, because all they do is traffic in innuendo — which is standard fare for the Party of Russian Collusion, the Party of Phony Impeachments, the Party of No Kings.

Perhaps President Trump’s innovative efforts to choke off the supply of lethal and otherwise life-wrecking drugs heading into our country from Latin America is what concerns the Scummy Six. Perhaps, for example, Trump’s ongoing show of force toward the narco-terrorist state of Venezuela and its illegitimate president, Nicolás Maduro, is what concerns them. Let’s unpack that, shall we?

Nothing defines “Big Government” better than our nation’s multi-generational failure in the War on Drugs, which has for decades been both spectacularly costly and spectacularly ineffective. Perhaps the Scummy Six would simply prefer this failed status quo to Trump’s dropping the gloves and taking the fight to the cartels in an all-new way. Perhaps they’d prefer artsy public service announcements to a declaration by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Maduro’s own organization, Cartel de los Soles, is a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Late last month, in an interview with The Detroit News, Slotkin denounced Trump’s “secret war” in Latin America against these narco-terrorist cartels, claiming that it’s unprecedented for the U.S. to strike shadowy targets such as these and warning that — wait for it! — Trump’s enemies at home could be next. “America deserves to know who we’re in armed conflict against,” Slotkin said. “No secret wars against secret groups.”

Gimme a break. Gunboat diplomacy is as old as our nation. And it’s effective. If it weren’t effective, tough-guy Maduro wouldn’t have been reduced to singing John Lennon’s “Imagine.”

As we noted in yesterday’s Executive Summary, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth dismissed the purveyors of the video as suffering from “Stage 4 TDS.” Seriously, though: Where were these gravely concerned lawmakers when our warriors were being drummed out of the service for refusing to take an experimental and ineffective — and, as it turns out, potentially harmful — COVID vaccine? The crickets and the tumbleweeds want to know.

What this Scummy Six are doing is talking to the deep-staters, the Obama- and Biden-era holdovers, the Alexander Vindmans and the Eric Ciaramellas of the military and intelligence apparatus, the ones who are now getting nervous about all the patriots around them, getting nervous about the likelihood of being caught and prosecuted if they try to pull any of the crap that they did under those anti-American administrations.

Here again, Slotkin and company are whispering to their fellow travelers. “But whether you’re serving in the CIA, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your back” — meaning, they’ll protect them if they’re prosecuted for their surreptitious activities.

Notice, too, how they specifically mentioned the Army, Navy, and Air Force, but they didn’t mention the Marines. That was wise of them. No disrespect intended to my brothers and sisters in those other branches, but traitors and trannies and snitches and saboteurs and snowflakes tend to gravitate toward their ranks more so than my beloved Corps.

In any case, the deep-staters who are encouraged by this video had better brush up on 18 USC 2383, which covers rebellion and insurrection: “Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

More likely, what we have here is a psyop being led by a U.S. senator and Democrat presidential hopeful who just so happens to be a former CIA operative. And a desperate one at that. When Slotkin was asked for a specific example of this unconstitutional behavior that she and her colleagues are intoning about, she had to go back to Trump’s offhand comment about quelling the George Floyd riots by shooting rioters in the legs rather than using lethal force.

Really? That’s the best she can do?

So at a time when the Democrat Party is being overrun by socialists and communists, at a time when that once-proud party could most use some backbone from its dwindling moderate and centrist ranks, we get a sleazy, scummy, Trump-deranged psyop from those folks instead.

Man, is that party ever in trouble.
