The Battle of Taffy 3

When the enemy sends Goliath to kill David...

Its because they are out of options...

Much Eeyore moaning and Mockingbird screaming is heard today, attempting to drown out the signals and news that something is happening... and the Swamp is very nervous...
2

In the past 48 hours, the Big Boys have gone on the attack:

Durham hasn't questioned Brennan

Senate Whip Thune is conspiring to push Vote-Scam-By-Mail

The election will be drawn out long enough for Nanners to be sworn in as POTUS

Efforts to demoralize are underway

But years ago, when millions of lives were on the line, the biggest and the best the enemy could manage was unleashed...

In October 1944, the US invaded the Philippines. Doing so was a mortal blow to the Japanese empire, cutting off its oil supply.

Japan was doomed.
4

In desperation, the Japanese launched Operation Sho Go:

Send a task force of battleships to Leyte Gulf, ambush the US fleet, sink all US transports...

And turn their guns inshore, catching the 250K American troops in the coastal plain of Luzon, absolutely destroying them
5

The Japanese task force included:

4 battleships
4 heavy cruisers
2 light cruisers
11 destroyers

This task force was led by the super battleship Yamato, the largest, most powerful battleship ever to put to sea, armed with 18 inch guns, the most powerful naval guns ever made
6

Totally unaware of what was coming, just south of San Bernadino Straights, off the island of Samar was a small US Navy unit patrolling for lurking Japanese submarines while aircraft provided air support to the bsttle onshore.

Call sign: Taffy 3
7

Rear Admiral Ziggy Sprauge quickly realized his task group was massively outnumbered and suicidally outgunned..

But he also knew there was nobody between the Japanese fleet and 250K US soldiers in the open...

He ordered Taffy 3 to close with the enemy and engage...
8

The destroyer USS Johnston drew first blood, blowing the bow off a Japanese cruiser with a torpedo salvo..

Soon followed by artillery hits. One engine out, half speed, 3 of her 5 guns destroyed, bridge crew dead, and the captain with an amputated hand, she stayed in the fight
9

The destroyer escort USS Samuel B Roberts found herself in middle of the Japanese fleet, toe to toe with a battleship almost 3x her size...

She was so close the Japanese crews couldn't depress their guns low enough to hit her, while she fired 5 inch shells a point blank range
10

Taffy 3 aircraft, returning from onshore airstrikes, low on fuel with no bombs, proceeded to strafe the Japanese ships, .50 cal bullets bouncing off battleship armor.

Once out of ammo, the aircraft begin making faux torpedo runs, trying to harass the Japanese ships
11

The destroyer USS Hoel was hit in the rudder, locking her steering into a continuous circle.

The captain, afraid of being hit with her torpedoes still on board, Salvo fired all torpedoes on the fly.

The torpedoes missed a cruiser but drove towards the Battleship Yamato...
12

Evading the torpedoes, the Yamato ran *away* from the battle..

Taking Admiral Kurita with it, preventing him from controlling the Japanese fleet in the battle...

Soon, as it seemed Taffy 3 was about to fall.. Kurita ordered retreat
13

In the end, Taffy 3 lost over 800 men...

But saved the lives of a quarter million US servicemen and very likely saved the momentum of the US war in the Pacific
14

What does a battle from almost 70 years ago and half a world away have to do with the Deep State and their attempt to force their agenda down our throats?

Because we *are* in a full fledged war..

And because the Deep State never expected to be here...
15

The DS for decades has come to believe they are essentially royalty.

They *deserve* their power over you.

And Trump isn't just a disruptor... he is a message to the DS that We The People are no longer taking their đź’©
16

As a result the DS has gone on the warpath, intending to not only remove Trump, but to *punish* those who dared to buck their plans, and make sure a future Trump would never happen again...
17

To date Trump has been subjected to every manner of attack and ambush from the most powerful people on the planet...

And they have yet to lay a glove on him..

All the while he has quietly positioned his assets and dismantled the DS corruption...
17

After failing to stop Trump and realizing he has slowly boxed them in, panic has now bubbled to the surface of the swamp...

Why else are the dems pushing ideas that they *know* would make them pariahs to American voters?
19

The panic is almost palpable...

Almost like the elites know there is evidence against them of horrible crimes...

And Trump has it...
Trump didn't need to do any of this.

But he was in the circles where he glimpsed what the elites were doing, and whatvthey had planned for America.

He has skin in the game: the elites want him and his family gone, destroyed, in prison.

He's in the fight just like we are.
