“Unprecedented” and “surreal.” These are just two adjectives we’ve heard a lot lately from the chattering class about former President Trump’s indictment on four criminal charges over the January 6 riot. Yet no one should be surprised at the turn of events Trump brought by what we now know is a completely politicized federal law enforcement bureaucracy. None of us should consider this unprecedented or surreal at all– this is the same federal government that paid for, in part (via the FBI), promoted, and used the Russia dossier hoax against Trump—even though the FBI knew it was false – at the beginning of his 2015 campaign for the presidency.
That charade can only be described as a whole of government effort to derail Trump’s campaign and then to undermine and derail his presidency. As the details dripped out in the ensuing years, the astounding politicizing and corruption of our law enforcement agencies was shocking to the conscience. So it is not surprising or surreal that the same system would engage in multiple efforts to criminalize Trump’s comments, statements, and belief that the 2020 election was an unfair process. Instead, it is par for the course.
As this is being written, Trump is in a federal courthouse in Washington DC pleading not guilty to all four federal charges brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of the January 6, 2021, capitol riot. He’s pleading not guilty because he’s not guilty. There have been innumerable excellent criticisms and analyses of what can only be fairly described as another star chamber focused on Trump and those who support him.
Jack Smith, it should be noted, has a somewhat less than illustrious history of getting things right. Smith’s conviction of former Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell on a federal bribery law was unanimously vacated in 2016 by the Supreme Court of the United States, ruling Smith stretched the law to get his way. CBS News reported at the time: “Justices on both sides of the ideological spectrum had expressed skepticism about the rationale behind the conviction, cautioning that the case presented a potentially slippery slope for criminalizing politicians’ behavior when it comes to exerting political influence for supporters.”
Ultimately, it took 3 years and $29 million dollars for McDonnell to find justice, but it ended a political career during which he was considered possible GOP presidential material. It’s likely the Democrats consider that mission accomplished.
Immediately after the arraignment, Trump made a few remarks on the tarmac as he headed for his flight back to New Jersey. He noted this was the “persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in the United States,” he said. He then noted he is the leading candidate for the GOP nomination for the presidency and that he is leading Biden as well, then concluded: “If you can’t beat him, you persecute him or you prosecute him. We can’t let this happen in America.”
The details of what Trump is facing will be discussed ad infinitum by analysts and at our dinner tables. But the real question is whether or not we want politicians using the behemoth of government to kneecap their main political opponent to be established as normal in our country.
Consider the remarkable statement from Joe Biden in the aftermath of the 2022 midterm elections. Trump was widely expected to announce another run for the presidency which compelled a reporter to ask Biden at a November 9, 2022, White House press conference what he would do to “reassure” world leaders that Trump “will not once again take power in the United States.” Biden answered, “We just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by…uh… if he does run, making sure he — under legitimate efforts of our Constitution — does not become the next president again.”
This clearly had been a decision that Biden felt comfortable stating in public, at the White House, in his capacity as president, standing behind the presidential podium. The Biden administration, ergo the Democrat Party, and by all intents and purposes, the federal government, had decided they would do whatever they had to stop him from running. The significant importance is worth noting that Trump remains the only Republican of whom the bureaucratic and totalitarian state are terrified.
None of what is happening was supposed to happen in the United States. And yet political commentators across the spectrum continue to marvel at how Trump’s popularity remains high “despite” multiple indictments (and likely more to come). They’re gobsmacked that Trump is like Teflon, and his popularity continues to rise. What could it be? How is this happening? They wonder and whine.
But it’s not that Trump is so popular or the new Man of Steel – it’s that we saw what the government was doing to us even before Trump, and we were appalled and disgusted. We saw the two-tiered system of justice; we saw them weaponize the government against the average person; we saw them grow rich and powerful on never-ending wars; we saw the IRS blatantly target conservatives; we saw our bank accounts dwindle; our police forces destroyed; our southern border erased; our faith maligned; our children targeted; our sovereignty and citizenship thrown in a dumpster. We saw the quality of our lives get pushed off a cliff as the political class grew fat and happy.
Then, and only then, did we elect Donald Trump. It’s never actually been about him, per se. It’s been about us, our loved ones, our families, and our futures. And it still is.
First, it was 2 illegal and unconstitutional impeachments for no wrong doing.
Second, 3 illegal and unconstitutional indictments with complete election interference being involved in each case.
Third, YOU ARE NEXT.
Unless, YOU WAKE UP AND FIGHT BACK FOR YOUR U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND YOUR FREEDOM.
Otherwise, YOU COULD BE NEXT BEING INDICTED.
If you think it can’t happen to you, then think again.
It is not about Trump. It is about erasing half the population of this country. And little by little they are succeeding. The false pandemic by banning medicine that could have saved many people that got the COVID. Then the mandated vaccine. Then banning fossil fuels by controlling the movement of the people. Banning people from social media just for a different opinion which they call misinformation. Sterilizing our young children by mutilating their bodies. The vaccine and food additive is sterilizing them as another method. Banning doctors from any discussion on health questions. Banning doctors from prescribing certain medications. teaching our kids CRT and take away their history and morals. They will decide what you have to think. Hatred is practiced everywhere. That is why criminals are good and victims bad. If they can’t charge you on what you are thinking, they will make one up. Eliminating the constitution and the Supreme Court. Weaponizing all law enforcements en cabinet depts. Weakening our military. Defunding the police and supporting Antifa and BLM. Taking away worshipping in churches. Telling preachers and priests what they can preach in their church. Schoolboard dictating curriculum and teachers teaching trans and sex to 4-5-6 year olds. Secretly mutilating our children for life by brainwashing. Taking away parental rights. Taking away free speech in any form and even punish people for what they are thinking. For they will interpret your thinking in such a way they can make you out to be a terrorist. Calling their opposition nazis, most don’t even know the definition of a nazi, fascists, domestic terrorists. Just for having a different thought than them. That’s why ole Joe can say with a straight face I was not aware of Hunters business dealings. While he was into it to his eyebrows. But do the dems leftist independents see this? No only the Trump supporters or even just opposers of their regime. You will obey us or we will eliminate you. And here we are. Still 39% of the population think Ole Joe is their guy.
We know it’s all about making it so he won’t/can’t run in 2024 because they know he will win AGAIN.
Every federal, state and local republican had better get on President Trump’s bandwagon now. The communist, democrats, are coming for you next. They already have undercover operatives in place in the Republican Party. Christie and Pence come to mind but there are many others at all levels.
Everything that the democRATs are trying to unload on PRESIDENT TRUMP are a ploy to keep him from running for President again.AMERICA and the world was much better off when TRUMP was President.Mass shootings in AMERICA were fewer than under biden/goonies,the economy was far better,Ukraine probably would not have happened and we didn’t have everything electric shoved up,YOU KNOW WHERE.The democRATs are killing AMERICA.
Tammy Bruce is always spot on. So glad she writes the truth. You can hear her righteous anger in every word. Forever TRUMP and MAGA!
Been about US since J6 for sure
The Democrats are Communists, pent on the destruction of the United States as a Republic. The sooner we get that through our thick heads and take out these Commies by whatever means necessary, the sooner we get our country back!! I said what I said!
Biden and his administration are the most corrupt this country has never see. I suppose that would not be so bad except they are also the most incomplete administration we have every had. that is a tough bar to beat as carter was pretty terrible and obama was not much better.
only those of us who have common sense and a brain know it’s all a ruse and a ploy to attack Trump and supporters. we don’t listen to morons and Trump will will 2024 and pardon himself.
All that said above, what I have yet to hear is whatever happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty. The media has him judged even though the so called facts are circumstantial at best, at least what has been published. Almost every headline or lead in to a talking head implies guilt. Apparently there are a few generations that cannot or will not see the contradictions in the statements made.
Every time some bad news surfaces about Hunter and Joe, the next day some Democrat prosecutor drops more charges on Trump to deflect the public’s attention. I expect when more information comes out later this month on Joe’s involvement in all these bribes, the Democrat prosecutor in Atlanta will file charges against Trump. The regime doesn’t even try to hide anything anymore.
Of course, this is all aimed squarely at the American people, to try and get them to just surrender to a permanent socialist regime running the country. The Democrat Party has no intention of relinquishing power in 2024. If this tactic with Trump doesn’t pan out, I’m sure we’ll be treated to some September or October surprise in 2024. A war, another virus, maybe unleashing ANTIFA to burn another 20 or 30 cities to cower the public. There are lots of ways Washington can create “a crisis” to ensure the election outcome they want.
Biden and his group hate us conservatives. We better stand behind Trump regardless of whether you want him to run again or not. Best thing to do to show your disgust is to support the Trump campaign with your name on their list and a contribution. If we don’t do all we can to stop this tyranny it will get harder to elect any conservative. Don’t let Biden get away with this insanity. The repubs are’nt perfect by any means but if we can stop this politicized persecution we may at least get to support the candidate that we want and push for honest elections.
COVID was the beginning of letting us know that the current administration running the present Democrat party from the White House is NOT the Constitutionally elected POTUS!
I never dreamed I would be seeing a dictatorial machine (fashioned like Stalin/KGB regime) in the USA in my lifetime or even my children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren lifetime. They are now subjected to what is happening to our beloved United States of America. We (citizens) do not have any representation in the Legislative branch while the Supreme Court is being “called on the carpet” when they try to draw this regime back into the Constitutional guidelines.
The Supreme Court put the abortion laws back into each state’s legislative realm (as it was meant to be) and not “federalized”! Abortion was not banned by the Supreme Court, but turned back to where it was meant to be approved or rejected as legal.
God have mercy on our Country and open the minds and hearts of the citizens who still love our country as our Forefathers designed our Republic to be!
The deep state is scared to death of Trump and they should be. I think he will clean house this time when reelected.
ONLY ONE SURE AND PERMANENT WAY TO STOP THE CANCEROUS, ANTI-AMERICAN, CHEATING, LYING, libs AND IT’S NOT THRU ELECTIONS………………….
Today’s so-called Democratic Party Leadership ARE REALLY COMMUNIST WANNABES! NOT the General Populace but DEFINITELY DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERSHIP!
Great article and yes it’s about us and President Trump is the only man strong enough to go after the criminals in the Democrats Congress, Senate, President. And all the little monsters behind those. The big weapon along with the FBI, and CIA, is the media. We need Donald Trump and the slime knows it. He has my vote. If he can win even if they convict him then he can pardon himself MAGA
This is it people….the battle that will decide whether America becomes great again or whether the communists solidify their control and end America as we’ve known it.
President Trump is not kidding that if the communists win, they will come after all of us with vengeance. He is literally standing in their way. It is Providence that we have such a courageous and indefatigable man that is standing up for the people.
Do all you can to support him and the MAGA movement and we will defeat these Satanic evildoers.
We have the man to deliver our message and represent our interests. To win all “We the People” need to do is fight for the liberation of America. Trump is the only hope.
I agree with Kari Lake when she says that all Republican candidates for President must halt their campaigns now. America is literally at stake. To not stop their campaigning means that these people are part of the problem. Most of them are the enemy just as much as the Democrats.
It is not about erasing members of the population but silencing anyone who has an opposing viewpoint that isn’t what is the current demand–aside from the obvious of taxing the rich, which is just a statement when it will never occur along as there are loopholes in the tax codes that change tax liability of income.
Enough is enough! I don’t know why a sitting President can’t be indicted. JB needs to go. He knows he is a liar; we know he is a liar, and he took money from our enemies. Lord knows how long he had classified data in his garages with his and HB close ties to Russia & China, our enemies, this is treason. How much of this info leaked to our enemies. Pence should have known this as well. He needs to be in prison not running for President. May as well put JB whole crime family be in prison too. How can JB family members get millions of dollars from our enemies. The evidence is right in front of the Judicial face, yet they keep dragging their feet on this and putting another hurdle in front of President Trump. I do not believe JB is President, do you? There is no way he got the most votes of any President and at the last-minute edging President Trump. A true voting scam backed up by the corrupt FBI, Judicial system and fake news and wealthy Lefty CEOs. The last election was bought and paid for by the Lefty Commies. And here we are, we are paying the leftyJack Ass and all the Dem lawyers to continue to go after Trump. Garland has sold out America as well. I would rather have my tax money help President Trump, our lawful President, how about you. How can we have confidence in the existing JB corrupt government?
I have been saying the same thing over and over since the first illegitimate impeachment of Mr. Trump. While the Left would like nothing better than to see Mr. Trump convicted and in jail, they know that all the charges being brought against him are phony and will never stick. In the extremely unlikely event of a conviction, that conviction will surely be overturned on appeal. So why are they doing this? Very simple. They want to “taint” Mr. Trump, to make him into an unappealing candidate, to make even die-hard Trump supporters think twice before wanting to support and vote for him. That is the Left’s goal, and while perhaps some Trump supporters are falling for it, overall it seems like this scheme is backfiring because people are waking up to the reality of what the Left is doing and its implications for the future of this nation.
The indictment game is silly as well as revealing of the Democrats’ desperate fear of a very possible Trump win in 2024.
Silly, because there is absolutely no law to prevent any US-born citizen from running for POTUS even if convicted on multiple counts, even if sitting in a Federal prison. So there: Poof! The DNC’s dream is up in smoke.
Also, these many indictments — which are already blowing up in the shysters’ faces — does nothing but add $$$ to Trump’s campaign chest as well as millions to his voter base.
This is not because more and more people are pro-Trump. No; it is because more and more are becoming fed up with Biden.
If both parties come to their senses and nominate a different set of victims to the thankless and near-powerless post of POTUS, the story may change.
Don’t we wish . . .
Patriots…if ever there was a time in need of “stepping up”, is this not it???
Trump must be eliminated by any means Fear of clean election is a powerful motivator Thus the frenzy among rats who will do anything ,walk over dead bodies if it means survival
I absolutely agree!
All the checks and balances in our federal government and Constitution are being subverted by corrupt officials (some elected, many appointed) who will do anything to protect their power. It is time to clean house and gat back to the same laws for everyone!
Tammy,
What a Great article ! Honest, American and required reading.
I and all rational individuals who can think and reason,know that WE are indeed the targets of two corrupt and unyielding forces occupying our government currently.
Working with them is the MSM ,which has been restructured as their propaganda mouthpiece and has ZERO credibility.
Our Country, and representative democracy is being attacked from within as they work to remove and destroy America’s greatness now and from history.
The marxist democrat party and the washington bureaucracy ARE transforming Our Country ,with a well planned destruction starting with elementary schools through college.
Now they’ve directly focused on families, starting at killing babies up and taking away parents rights!
These marxist democrats, their destruction of all that’s good and moral, is TRULY EVIL and targeted.
It’s a message to ALL American citizens that THEY are supreme,arrogant and untouchable.They spit in Our faces and ignore the Constitution and Our wishes.
Attacking and destroying President Trump is their symbol of the hatred of America,Citizens and Freedom.The marxist democrat party’s message is DESTROYING America.
Yes, well said it’s NOT only about attacking a Great Leader in President Trump.
It’s about We the People,controlling and destroying OUR Freedom.
We are the hated deplorables.
Trumps correct, it’s about the democrat progressive s that want to control WE the people thru any means possible. They’ve changed elections laws behind our backs and thru the courts to put them in the drivers seat, bribed election officials to ignore the laws in elections and insert ballots that are not legit. The Jan 6 committee now disbanded as the new congress took over gave the DOJ miss info to continue the attack on any and all persons present an included Trump as to stop his pursuit of the presidency. Yet the current congress hasn’t stoped that process that which they could have it stoped. What’s wrong with this picture. We the people see the real, truth and corruption, regardless of the lefts disguised factoids . When will,some one in authority step up and stop this nonsense .
DEPORT ALL liberals, illegals AND THE ONCE HONORABLE, fbi, cia, doj, secret service 2 THE NEW AUSCHWITZ FOR ROAS….
What is happening to former President Trump is unprecedented during my life time.The aggressive banana republic and Marxist mindset of the the far left has to be stopped vigorously at the ballot box.
It is my hope that, as a people, we will be aggravatingly ever present in their heads. I am hoping for a great deal of “gnashing of teeth” among the leftists.
The one thing that I do take comfort and pleasure in is that the desperation of the far left is so over the top and nakedly apparent. The dissembling of their comrades in legacy media is perversely entertaining.
Partly true They know they cannot financially break him but they want to steal as much as they can through the indictments. There was a political cartoon in the Houston version of the NYT showing President Trum stacking bundles of money and captioned it as building a wall against indictments. What it actually shows is the leftist theory of avoiding or reducing results of illegal, unethical or immoral actions. Theu do not even consider the obvious, innocence!
There is a substantial amount of information to become familiar with! Daunting is the right word, and I suspect it serves to overwhelm, confuse, and seek to end discussion and debate.
From all that is read, seen, heard, and discussed, this is perhaps the point when the world is in peril; people are naive, those responsible remain hidden, seeking to remain that way, and fear exposure. Those who carry out the instructions are but pawns in a string of lies and misrepresentation, and although they feel necessary, they. . . and others like them will be removed when the master plan is in place. So far, this appears true!
The truth remains in a few places, with a few people, and they probably, like President Trump, are besieged daily by hidden forces, the corrupt, the layers, and those who plant false information and feel some false giddiness that surely labels them. Good or bad? It depends on where you are standing!
AMAC coverage is of value, and with other sources, people must read and discern implications, and if found concerning, do something! Apathy is the enemy and debilitates people and allows miscreants to do what they do.
Yes
President Trump is the only candidate who can lead the way out of this mess. Vivek Ramaswamy does understand where we are and how we got here. All the other candidates are every shade of conventional politics. At least Podesta saw that this is not the time to run. Pray for America.
President Trump did such a wonderful job as President that the left wing DemonRat party is trying to subvert our way of life. Biden is not qualified for anything except he and Hunter see themselves getting rich by sabotaging our great nation. They are contortionists under mining our homeland. May God help us.
Golly! Damned swell of them to actually hold a TRIAL and not proceed straight to the sentencing….
I firmly believe that they are doing everything they can to convict him for one reason. If they can file charges for speaking your mind, a constitutional right, and get a conviction on a former president, then we the people have all been silenced. What do you think your chances are to stand up and speak out at a school board meeting, commissioners court, etc. Tyrants use fear to get votes and others use the truth. Problem there is that the media will only publish what the left really wants.
Early on I’m hoping President Trump names Kari Lake his VP running mate.
I think the pair would be Great at saving America from the marxist democrat party destruction.
Trump has “broad strong shoulders ” and is a true grit American patriot! Go Trump go!!!!!
Given recent history, it appears that the current regime uses the same tactics as practiced by Communists to maintain political power, In fact their political platform in 2020 reflected these objectives.
President Trumps popularity continues to grow and add new voters who are sick and tired of the marxist democrat party’s failed policies,destruction of America, immorality,corruption, ignorance of Our Constitution,Our laws rampant crime,encorangement of the illegal invasion ,and mostly the attacks on Individual Citizens and organizations through government bureaucracies.
These marxist America haters shove it in Real Americans faces and think they can do anything!
THROW THEM OUT – SAVE AMERICA
President Trump is a Real American like you and I, their attempt to destroy him is an attack on EVERY American Citizen.
Who the hell do these useless,hateful politicians think they are???
Time to cleanse America from this scum!
After slowly but steadily taking away our rights and freedoms over the past 50 years, indoctrinating our children into hating our country the Democrat Party has pulled out all of the stops with their total disdain for over half of the country. When Donald Trump was elected in 2016 they got a wake up call. it appears that the majority of the country disapproved of the poisonous policies of the Obama Administration and were not excited about “fundamentally changing the country”. Donald Trump, despite intense political opposition, turned our economy around, brought back industry and jobs back to America, strengthened our Foreign Policy, rebuilt our military and restored our place as the #1 Superpower in the world. Unlike other politicians he was not beholding to any special interest groups and didn’t even take a salary! He was taking steps to go after those in the deep state to drain the swamp. He made promises to the American people and he kept them. As a businessman he looked at problems and found solutions, again despite political interference. Now we know what the country will look like under Democrats rule.The question we need to ask ourselves when it’s time to vote is; were we better off under Trump’s policies where we were energy independent and had low energy prices, low inflation, a healthy stock market, a controlled southern border, a stable foreign policy, a strong military, support for the police and law enforcement or the chaos and divisiveness we are in now thanks to Democrat policies.
The progressive left fears Trump like no other man. He is not part of the DC establishment and came in and beat them at their own game and ruled well, and kept us out of foreign wars. So they declared war on him with the 2020 riots, false dossier, misleading and confusing pandemic solutions, impeachment, and corporate media lies. They slandered him so badly that even many conservatives could not see the truth. This country is in very deep trouble, God, help us.
Amazing article and so full of truth. They are not after him, they are after ALL of US
Thank you warrior
This is a transparent ploy to disqualify Trump’s candidacy and as such disenfranchise those who would vote for him. Which intensifies his adherency.
We are about to see 2016 all over again. The defection of the Democratic Party in 2016 was about the politicians not listening to all of us. It’s worse now even the home town democrats are suffering along with the rest of us. It shouldn’t be a surprise when the Dems are thrown out of office again because the Republican candidate as in the past let’s the people be in charge. For awhile it will be a new alignment of taxes and regulations again. Prosperity for all willing to work and get along. The media can spin all the propaganda they want about Biden can’t be beaten it’s all about trying to convince the population a lie. They know it and we know it. The SUPRISE will be the Dems
DEFLECTION, is one of the basic rules for Radicals, by Salinsky. You can pretty much bet that what these immoral unethical criminal marxist deep State swamp creatures are currently doing is exactly what they are accusing Trump and their enemies for doing. And they are good at it. We Are The Government and Sovereign.
I’m not sure what more evidence anyone would need than the FBI cover up, DOJ sweetheart deal for Hunter Biden, turning a blind eye to the influence for hire of Biden Inc. You really just have to shake your head about the corruption by our federal gov’t law enforcement agencies. Blatant, in your face, lies to Congress. How we have let these kind of people be in charge of these important positions is a sad day for America. God bless our service members that have died to keep our nation free even though these criminals have taken over our government.
We are a nation who elected Joe Biden and rejected Trump. Do we need to know more about who we are ? What we wish we were and who we actually are describe our delimma. I don’t want to say it but will. We had our chance.
