It’s a glorious time to be alive.
With Trump’s pick of Kash Patel to be FBI director, the deeply threatened Beltway elites are howling more loudly than ever. No one more imitating a stuck pig more convincingly than John Bolton, the establishment Republican’s establishment Republican, who has decided that the Patel appointment is a good time to try out his sky-is-falling act. And who knows? He might end up being more successful with it than he was with his diplomatic career.
Fox News reported Sunday that Bolton, who has been enraged at Trump ever since he was fired from the first Trump administration for advocating that the U.S. get involved in more endless and unnecessary wars, sent a statement about the Patel appointment to Kristin Welker of NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Welker wrote on X: “Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton tells @NBCNews: ‘Trump has nominated Kash Patel to be his Lavrenty Beria. Fortunately, the FBI is not the NKVD. The Senate should reject this nomination 100-0.’”
Kash Patel is Beria now? This was shocking despite that fact that reckless, overheated, hysterical, and defamatory rhetoric about Donald Trump has become commonplace. The Democrats have been relentlessly smearing Trump as an “insurrectionist” ever since their fake “insurrection” of Jan. 6, and before that, painted him without a shred of evidence as a foreign agent, a pawn of Vladimir Putin. All that was bad enough, but in his shot at Patel, Bolton went even farther. In the febrile mind of the failed National Security Adviser, Trump is not only a threat to “our democracy” and a catspaw of the Russians; he is nothing less than a new Stalin.
Beria, you see, was the head of the NKVD, the Soviet secret police and one of the precursors to the KGB. Beria was the terrifying edge of Stalin’s regime as Uncle Joe consolidated his power, eliminated his Bolshevik rivals, and waged brutal war against his own people as he solidified the hold of the Soviet tyranny over the nations he controlled. Beria, always acting with Stalin’s approval, was responsible for the massacre of 22,000 Poles in the Katyn Forest in 1940.
That same year, Beria sent hundreds of thousands of Poles, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, and Romanians to Siberia, or just directly to prison camps, for the crime of having the wrong ethnicity; Stalin wanted to fill his new territories with Russians. Beria was behind the purge of officers from the Red Army who were suspected of being insufficiently loyal to the Soviet state. He was also behind the institutionalized terrorizing of the people of the Soviet Union, who could no longer be sure, no matter how loyal they were and how hard they worked, that they could avoid the knock on the door at 4 a.m. and a trip to the Gulag. That was how Stalin kept his people in line and ensured that they would be eager to demonstrate their loyalty to the Workers’ Paradise.
Beria was a ruthless killer, a remorseless enforcer for a brutal and conscienceless tyrant who thought no more of the mass murder of his own people than he did of what he was going to have for breakfast on any given morning.
That, in Bolton’s mind, is Kash Patel. Now, this sort of thing is the height of irrationality, and so to subject such an unhinged claim to rational analysis is to dignify it beyond any attention it actually deserves, but since John Bolton was once a respected member of the foreign policy establishment, a brief explanation is in order.
John Bolton apparently wants you to believe that if he gets his way, Trump will become a new Stalin, and his Beria, Patel, will be put to work not cleaning out the desperately corrupt and thoroughly politicized FBI, but rounding up Democrats and Never Trumpers for the new American Gulags, where they will get a bullet to the back of the neck for opposing the great leader.
Of all the hysteria we have seen from foes of Donald Trump, John Bolton’s wins the prize. With his statements on Kash Patel, Bolton has won the prize. He is far and away the most crazed sufferer of Trump Derangement Syndrome in the nation and the world today. He is in urgent need of psychiatric help. We can only hope that he gets it.
What is really happening is that the elites are looking at the derailment of the gravy train. With almost every new appointment, Trump is making it clear that he is absolutely serious about taking on the deep state and draining the swamp. The howls of the elites who assumed they were made men and could never be ousted, and who now face the very real prospect of exactly that, make Trump’s appointments all the sweeter. Who will emerge victorious from the great struggle that is about to begin between the bureaucratic elites and the people is anybody’s guess. At the very least, however, we can be grateful that finally the battle has been joined.
Better take your Meds Walrus Face
Bolton and the rest of them are laughable., one day they cast Trump and his supporters Nazis, Fascist and the next day they cast him and his supporters as Stalinists, NKVD stooges. What next Maoist?
Maoists I suspect are OK, because they seem to like how China does things.
The strange awful case of John Bolton upsets me.
He came so close to being a great man.
He got twisted with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
God help him.
He reminds me a little of Mitt Romney. Both of these men are clearly acting out of envy for President Trump. Their envy fuels the intense Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Close at best refers to handgrenades on bolton’s solid case for being mediocre, the other adjective, seriously?
A tool of the toads who was unlucky to be exposed for his true substance, character and low IQ.
Bolton has become a cartoon character, endlessly chasing the rabbit around the tree with his broken shotgun. Please, somebody….get this boy some help. Start with a straight jacket and a strong sedative.
In the meantime, DO NOT go to Wash. D.C. for rallies. DO NOT give the left an opportunity for setting up another J6. If you want to rally, do it in a friendly state, not in enemy territory like W.D.C.
Beginning January 1, The left wing nuts will be looking to lure people into violent conflicts. The left will be attacking ICE agents, attacking federal buildings. etc……
Now with CNN and MSNBC swirling down the bowl , how will these misfits earn a living ?
I would say EGO is Bolton’s problem. Same with Cheneys and Mitt Romney, etc.
Is there an ambassadorship of Antarctica that Bolton could be gifted with?
Poor Bolton; the truth is leaking out beyond the precious dam of lies they have rigorously tried to keep in place. We all know once water (truth) finds even the smallest opening, it’s power continues until that once seemingly impenetrable dam is so compromised that water (truth) soon flows everywhere. The elites are furthering this flow of truth by their behavior. In using the same blame game, as young people would say, “we’re over it!” Bolton, stuck in his self-created anger and rage, is looking like the other lunatics masquerading as if they care….Americans have witnessed first hand Trump, as President, keeping his word, changing America, and through his previous policies and negotiations a more peaceful world. What has the RINO GOP done, recklessly used taxpayer $$ for a proxy war in Ukraine that we know, via Biden and his incompetent and dare-I-say criminal administration, has vast amounts of the “aid” being both laundered and given away to those in the Ukraine for whom this has been most profitable. Bolton is from the old school and after engaging the US in this loathsome undeclared war, as well as significantly destroying a country and their people…like Bolton, it is these people who will be outed as the heinous profiteers they are and with G-d Almighty’s gale-force wind at our back, we will step toward making America great again leaving these self-magnifying and hateful adversaries in the dustbin of our history.
There’s no “may” about it. Bolton’s brain cast off from reality years ago.
It’s obvious that Bolton can’t appreciate, must less recognize his own irony. Many of us are well aware of Beria’s most repeated quote: “Show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime.” Now, who do you suppose that might apply to?
Bolton should just fade away. Your 15 minutes are over. The US doesn’t want to hear from a warmongering neocon again.
Your post made my night !! 😁
Who listens to this man? Anyone? Does he really have anything of value to say? I think not.
He did once.
When The Atlantic published that bullshit hit-piece on Trump, even Bolton said that Trump had never said “suckers & losers”.
Activist reporters resort to “anonymous sources” when they get an urge to smear (of which Hegseth is the current recipient.)
When not even Bolton would repeat that slander, you KNOW it didn’t happen.
Why Bolton decided to glue his head up is odd, but I think you’re right & that his rebuff of The Atlantic will be his last.
I actually used to admire Bolton and thought he was a serious national security guy. I was happy when Trump brought him in, but, boy, was I wrong. Like everyone else, as soon as Trump fires them they all tantrum like little children and try to do Trump in. But somehow Trump is impervious, protected by the truth and common sense. Go away, Bolton. You’re not needed or wanted. Get a real job somewhere.
Little Johnny, is just another operative of the Democrat Communist Criminal Terrorist Organization.
We will be rid of them all very very soon.
What a great article!
Yes, this sort of thing from John Bolton is the height of irrationality – and BASENESS! However, I don’t think he needs psychiatric help. It’s merely a gross baseness of a scoundrel.
What? Wally the walrus’s is upset? Did somebody block his chum load or soemehing?
At the risk of painting with too wide a brusk, I’ll say that the reptiles thriving inside the D.C. beltway are mostly criminally incompetent, morally perverse, and afraid of DOGE.
Bolton is your average arrogant insider and nothing more. He could not earn an honest living in the private sector any more than John Kerry could. Lazy slugs the lot.
Stunning display of TDS coming from Bolton. Also stunning is the almost non-existent coverage of his outre remarks comparing Patel to Stalin’s hit man. Thank you for covering this, FPM.
Bolton needs a barber, wife or girlfriend to style his mustache better. Or, better yet, get rid of it.
When I notice people like the Cheney Gang the Clinton Cartel and morons like Bolton all hating on Donald Trump because he said… ”We must get out of these endless Wars”.. Then you can see who these people are as if you wish to know who a man is simply look at who his enemies are.
Weren’t Bolton and Spencer on the same page warning about Islam for a time? I thought they were buds.
TDS is strong in this one.
Bolton wants endless wars that cost taxpayers billions, Most Rino’s and Democrats are lobbied by the military industrial complex and get a kickback on their preferred stock options, The Warhawks.. The corruption goes much deeper and is more direct . Billions in foreign aid is
” rinsed” in foreign banks and doled out to phoney NGO’s, owned by friends and family of the politicians. “Burisma ” is an example of this phenomenon. The NGO’s transfer the US aid into “anonymous ” donation portals located in the foreign country. ( any web server capable of accepting donations ). which are split up and sent as tiny donations from millions of people without their knowledge thru (actBlue).
the pathology of war becomes the impetus of absolute power at the financial level if the expense of causing a genocide and refugee crisis of biblical proportions in some far away place..
