The FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s personal home in Florida is an outrageous, unprecedented act of a federal government bent on partisan revenge. There’s been excellent analysis and commentary throughout conservative media about the shocking event but an important part of the story is also how Democrats and their sycophants in the media accidentally revealed in their reactions just how craven they’ve become.
The usual suspects wrapped in their cozy Trump Derangement Syndrome celebrated the raid. Americans were subjected to Democrats and liberal activist television hosts getting absolutely giddy with the news the FBI raided the home of the former president. As if that wasn’t bad enough, and then like a director changing the script, the glee changed to somber concern. Some at MSNBC ordered everyone to change the language. Now we can add “raid” to “woman” and “recession” to the ever-growing list of words leftists demand not be uttered. But we know better and ignore them.
The most telling reactions were from Trump-haters whose main concern was not that the establishment had become a machine focused on self-preservation and the destruction of those who threaten its status quo, but that the truth of the matter would ruin their preferred anti-Trump narrative.
One perfect illustration is brought to us by Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump White House aide who has found a renewed mission in life as the Trump-hating Republican co-host of television’s The View. Speaking of the raid on CNN she noted, “This, I’m hoping goes beyond simply not complying with some archiving laws, or DOJ just handed Donald Trump the Republican nominee and potentially the presidency, if it’s seen as some sort of massive overreach and not something incredibly serious, this is a very good day for Donald Trump.”
Think about this. Here is someone recognizing that obscenity of what happened and on its face confirms Trump’s argument that the swamp is corrupt and needs reforming, but her concern is how the truth will harm the establishment’s narrative and agenda.
From that Russia dossier hoax to the dozens of false allegations over the years against Trump, the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid is simply one more instance of the American bureaucratic establishment behaving like a dirty and corrupt third-world dictatorship smearing, framing, arresting and disappearing its critics. No matter the obvious reality, establishment operative will always try to gaslight you into believing the lie. Take it from a former federal prosecutor who wrote this on an MSNBC website: “Indeed, despite some naysayers, all signs still point to a Trump run. We ignore them at our peril — doing so means losing precious time both reminding Americans of the ‘clear and present danger’ to our Constitution that he poses and preparing for how best to defeat him.”
You see, the projection never ends. They’re so embedded in the narrative they’re like an evil Alexa that you can’t unplug as it keeps telling you things day and night that aren’t true.
No matter what one thinks of Trump, to gloss over, ignore, or praise the actions of the FBI and Department of Justice acting as partisan weapons against an American citizen and his supporters is madness.
Businessman and political activist Andrew Yang is another example of a first excited utterance revealing what’s really behind the curtain. He declared his concern on Twitter that the raid might give the American people the impression that Trump has been right all along about the government: “I’m no Trump fan. I want him as far away from the White House as possible. But a fundamental part of his appeal has been that it’s him against a corrupt government establishment. This raid strengthens that case for millions of Americans who will see this as unjust persecution.”
Of course Yang feels compelled to assert his anti-Trump bona fides so as to not upset the woke mob, but here’s a newsflash for him: Trump’s “appeal” isn’t that he gives people an impression, it’s that he articulates what the American people have already been watching for decades—a slow and steady planned devolution of the American way of life by those in government, or as Barack Obama called it, a fundamental transformation of our country. The intention of the Democrats has always been to place government first and the citizen…elsewhere.
Trump understood how the system abandoned the American people, forgot them, and then tried to treat those forgotten men and women like litter. The system is now trying to do the same thing to him personally.
In the aftermath of the FBI raid, Griffin and Yang were not the only ones clutching their pearls that their preferred narrative might be ruined by reality. Former Obama advisor David Axelrod had his moment. Sounding like he was trying to convince himself more than anyone else he Tweeted: “One thing is very clear. Garland would not have authorized this raid, and no federal judge would have signed off on it, if there weren’t significant evidence to warrant it.”
The backlash was swift as a number of people reminded him about the FBI’s very recent lack of regard for the rules and ethics when it comes to Trump. “People said a similar thing after we found out the FBI got FISA warrants on Carter Page. Lots of ‘these warrants wouldn’t have been approved if they weren’t legit’ circular logic in both cases,’” tweeted the Washington Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross. Some Twitter users wondered if Christopher Steele of the infamous Russia dossier hoax had alerted Garland to new and nefarious items at Mar-a-Lago.
Our nation would be in significantly less peril if good people would recognize that the political and media establishment has ginned up such hatred of Trump specifically to see how much we would allow them to get away with in their efforts to destroy him. Emergencies and fear and loathing are the life blood of totalitarians. We’ve seen what this recklessness has done to other nations, let’s not let it happen here.
Sadly, the DemocRat Party has become a pack of rats in the most uncomplimentary terms. If there was ever a stage of overnance in the history of this great Nation, it would be the political events subsequent from the last POTUS election (rigged to the hilt) and of late ending with the Trump egregious home raid by the FBI. Term limits on Congressmen is a must … or this Nation will never be able to struggle thru peacefully to provide a true democratic governance environment (which the great majority of citizens desire). The great American citizenry is being force-fed Communism DemocRat-Party-style, and it is not well received. TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESSMEN ARE A MUST IF THIS NATION WANTS TO SECURE ITS DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE AND SHY AWAY FROM DEMOCRAT PARTY SLIDE INTO COMMUNISTIC RULE AS A REPLACEMENT TO DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE.
There should be term limits on all of both houses, senate and the house also all democrats should be treated as treasonous people and delt with according to the law.
We need to call it like it is. When we have a corrupt guv’ment like we do we need to put some serious thought into 1) TERM LIMITS! ALL POLITICOS! No more than twelve years total politico service in the Federal System.
It never ceases to amaze me that our politicos think they’re untouchable. How can anyone go from a moderate income to becoming filthy rich via a “salary” and most likely “vigorish” in four or less years of “public service” as a federal (or state) legislator without being corrupt?! Personally, I don’t think our politicos can go from “rags to riches” to earning hundreds of thousands, millions of bucks without being corrupt. Corruption, it seems to be a pre-requisite for government employees.
MAGA2024! TRUMP2024!
FJB! LET’S GO BRANDON!
We’ve had Antifa, BLM, Afghanistan, and Defund the Police. It’s time for DEFUND FBI
The more Democrats try to discredit Trump, the more they discredit themselves and prove how lawless, corrupt and deplorable they are – they are biggest danger to our freedoms and Republic. No longer the party of the people but the party of blatant discrimination, self-serving, rich elite, socialists. Dictatorial Oppressors of the poor.
If the election of Biden was such an obvious blunder ( and it was) why did we elect him ? We the voters are the problem. Not the candidates. We sit here and moan and groan about decisions made by candidates that we elected. Hello
Once again, the dems stepped on their wanger trying ( for the 9th time) to jail Donald Trump. Is this guy Houdini ? No. He is pursed by the Keystone Cops, a pack of clowns. The only possible gain the dims could have had was specific info about Jan 6 but we are being told that the raid was not done to obtain Jan 6 info. Quite a surprise as we know that the dims all know the Jan 6 committee has nothing. So what will be the dims Get Rid of Trump Manuver #10 ? Just hang around for the next clown show.
We need a war against the permanent government. After we win, the guillotine will feast.
The demorat “party” (see “lynch) is bleeding from the eyes terrified of Trump! Plain and simple. We The People saw the man Trump carry through with every promise he made. This nation was solvent, best employment record since the 60’s, if I’m not mistaken he even sought to bring back our manufacturing. I have no doubt the now obscene criminal justice system would have been returned to what it once was. There was a solid plan in place to get our people out of Afghanistan along with the highest tech weaponry in existence….and we all know how that turned out!! Gas prices were low, inflation was the “i” word; the wall, after years of both demorats and “republicans” promising to build the wall” was on track. Even private businesses along the border were completing stretches of the wall at their own expense!
Trump is a formidable opponent to their one world order evil and they know it. Whether one likes his way of expressing things…he did what he said he’d do. I will take a man who keeps his word (not to mention as Hillary Killary, Biden, Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer’s obscene wealth in creased, Trump lost over 1 billion dollars), over a bunch of spineless career “congressmen” any day. Of course only the true conservative organizations published that niggling “little” truth of his financial reduction.
For those who didn’t listen to George Bush Sr.’s presidential acceptance speech he said, these words.
“We must usher in the New World Order.” There are also videos still online showing him lauding the “new world order.”
Either we get a true American, kick butt conservative in the Oval Office or we will most assuredly be known as the “People’s Republic of Amerika”….Sieg Heil! or God Bless America?….I know which one I’d rather see.
The sad part of this is, we know they won’t find anything criminal so they will plant the evidence and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. These are VERY VERY SICK,VICIOUS, AND CORRUPT PEOPLE. I’m glad I’m not a Demoncrat. How embarrassing.
I never thought in my lifetime I would see this land turn into a Communist and Nazi country.
On a brighter note: TRUMP 2024!!!!!!!!
RED=REMOVE EVERY DEMOCRAT
Don’t be idle. Don’t be lazy. Get out and vote as if your life depends on it. Because it does. At least your way of life. We’re witnessing the destruction now, so wake up and get busy, fighting back against the long arm of the Govt.
TRUMP 2024
MORE THAN EVER
Pay Close Attention to the picture and video, shown on the news, of an armed FBI agent at the gate to Mar-a-Largo, the home of a former President, Donald Trump. In that picture the weapon the agent is holding is a fully automatic, not semi automatic, military grade assualt weapon, not a semi automatic rifle. There are major distinctions between the two types of weapons. The weapon the agent is holding is a weapon a US citizen can’t buy, even before the latest laws that resently passed, regarding semi-automatic rifles. The newly band rifles aren’t assualt weapons, regardless of how often the media has described them that way. However, the weapon the agent is holding is a military grade assualt weapon.The point, the IRS, another government agency, has purchased nearly 5,000 weaponds for their agents, semi automatic pistols and fully automatic military grade assualt weapons. Along with the weapons the IRS has purchased over 5 million rounds of ammunition and this present government is planning to add 87,000 new accountants, with armed and trained agents. That’s a larger armed force than many countries. Food for thought!So, how many raids is the IRS planning? Also, why would an accountant need any arms, let alone military grade assualt weapons? The IRS isn’t Law Enforcement or a Protection Agency like the FBI, CIA or branch of our military, so why would they need military grade assualt weaponds unless they will be taking control and control of what? I don’t care what your politics may be, Blue, Red, Librarian or none, You Better Be Paying Attention to what is happening, without your knowledge or approval. You (we) have to vote this type of Swamp Rat Authoritarianism and Mentality out of our government.Now that the left elite was forced to unmasked their radical intentions, we the American people, can start draining the swamp by removing their protectors, now and forever. If we don’t stop this hateful leadership and vote it out in November, no one will be able to live anywhere without the government taking what you have, anytime they choose, their choice not yours! Then it will be another, then another and another of our protected freedoms?Tell your family, frends, associates and that ill tempered neighbor next door or across the street to VOTE in November and defend American Democracy and freedoms and protect us against this radical government!
Abuse of power has gone way into overtime. America can’t survive this kind of corruption. It needs to stop and voters need to contact Law makers to say no with one loud and demanding voice!
the raid most definitely encourages those who would sit on their arses and not bother voting to finally get out and vote once they figure out that if we sit back and allow this sort of thing to continue they will become slaves.
Obama said he wanted an army of 4 million. Gradually, this is what the democrats mean by “change America.” Schumer screamed it at us when they barely gained the majority in the senate.
What hasn’t changed is the spirit of America’s citizens. We still have some who are pathetic. We still have some happy warriors. Some of them are facing absurd prison terms because the pathetic rule in Washington DC. Having recently reviewed the history around the Boston massacre, I strongly believe that the present rulers are hanging by a thread, and they are desperate. There is fear building among happy warriors. We must not flag under duress.
I think Garland has overplayed his hand when his statement is that the law is being applied fairly and equally when all the witnesses can see it is not. He actually is making the case that we must all vote and show him what fair is.
This is exactly what happens when the government has the power to influence the average Americans life! . . . Whether it’s your job, health and financial issues!
We the People would then be BEHOLDEN to more politicians control instead of our own personal control! . . . I, myself, will continue to oppose this government intrusion into what has always been my individual rights and concerns! I WILL OPPOSE OUR COUNTRY’S ECONOMY TAKEOVER BY ANY SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST POLICIES!!!
The RAID should never have happened. President Trump might come off kinda brash but he put our country back on the right track (all of which Mr. Biden destroyed BTW). President Trump is still my President and I wish him all the best. We need him back at the desk in the Oval Office!
This is big government run amuck! Socialism on the march. Beware, this is only the beginning. Conservatives need to get out the vote. Let’s defeat the bastards and put them in jail where they belong.
The FBI is run by the 7th floor Soros owned suits and ties that don’t know the first thing about law enforcement or investigation. A bull dozer should be taken to the 7th floor, J Edger Hoover was a pervert and a megalomaniac and it’s gotten worse since he’s gone…they have no Fidelity to our constitution, the “B” has become Brutality and the “I” stands for infiltration and insurrection. I’m reminded of the 45 communist goals to overthrow the United States entered into the congressional record on January 10, 1963,–Appendix, pp. A34-A35. Goal number 35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI. What better way to do that than for the FBI to become an armed, rogue, Gestapo type arm of the Executive branch throwing a monkey wrench into balance of power of our three branches of government
Weaponization of the Justice Department/FBI is only the beginning. Americans should be very concerned about 87,000 new IRS agents. Obama used the IRS against his political enemies. The Democrats gave Biden reinforcements.
I read in article the other day that 73,000 troops were involved in storming the beaches on D day. If you doubt the deep state is unlawfully stalking Donald Trump, consider the deep state has authorized 87,000 new IRS agents to stalk you and your families!
Intrusive behavior by the government? No surprise there! Now I’m wondering who will be next.
libs = NAZIS
THE ONCE HONORABLE fbi IS NOW THE RUSSIAN KGB
The Intelligence agencies have been weaponized against Conservatives, President Trump and the American citizens. The FBI has turned into the KBG. They target anyone who goes against the Democratic/Nazi narrative or beliefs. Make no mistake, unless we destroy these people and weed them out, we will be living in a Dystopian State. Vote all of the Democrats and RINOS out of office. Restructure (fire all upper management, especially those that were appointed) the FBI, CIA and NSA agencies.
I am afraid that they were actually planting evidence which is why they wouldn’t let Trump’s lawyer watch them. Everything should have been inventoried and documented before it left the property so they can’t plant evidence, they have drummed up fake evidence on him in the past.
We had better stop the Democrats with their weaponizing of the FBI and IRS or they will be coming after us soon.
Now, we have former top-level officials hinting that Trump should be executed for treason, like the Rosenbergs! Were they banned by Twitter and Facebook?
I do not know enough to jump to any conclusion on MaraLago raid. I plan to wait & see what the Search Warrant & affidavit reveal why the raid was approved. And what happened with Trump team & FBI in June that must have triggered this raid. Was their total cooperation in June or not???
Interesting isn’t it that everything they are accusing Trump of now is exactly what Hillary Clinton did do…her crimes were treasonous and seditious. She took money from foreign adversaries, made millions for her slush fund so-called foundation, and the entire debacle of the 2016 campaign where she did collaborate with Russians, paid them in fact. Also, her secret server had Classified and Top Secret memos on it which we know now were hacked by foreign entities, she destroyed 33,000 emails that had already been subpoenaed, destroyed all cell phones and their SIM cards, and now she is brazenly flaunting that she got away with it by selling hats that say something like”oh, but the emails.” This arrogant, evil woman did all that the Dems and the agencies so corrupted by them to do their bidding, accuse Trump of now. It is the typical Democrat M.O. project your sins on others and deny, deny, deny. Democrat or Republican, if you stand for this, you are helping to destroy our country, the Constitution and the Republic in which we live.
Trump needs to hire some professionals to sweep every inch of his property for listening devices, cameras, etc.
Democrats have done nothing but mismanage every problem they have been handed. I just thought a few days ago could you imagine how any people would have died in the pandemic if Joe Biden had been president when the pandemic hit. There is no way the republicans could have done a better job of making democrats look worse than they have made themselves look. Every day of the Biden administration has been one disaster after another. Can anyone think of anything they handled correctly?
This is truly the saddest day in America, just think what they can and will do to the average citizen. It has become very scary and there is no punishment. I guess if you are a Democrat anything goes.
This is all politics. The Democrats are afraid of Trump. We no longer have freedom of the press since the media supports the Democratic Party. We no longer are a country where we can get a fair trial. Politics is now in the FBI, CIA, Justice Department and IRS. Just think what tyranny is in store for many of us if the socialists/communists gain total control. The Democrats will use these agencies to punish those innocent people who hold a different opinion from them. We impeach a President because the opposition does not like him. We send the FBI after a President because the opposition does not like him and wants to destroy him.The media and the Democrats constantly lie about Trump and criticize what comes out of his mouth. Look at all the actions of the Democrats and the media. They speak louder than words. And also we no longer have freedom of speech because citizens with opposing points of view are called racists.
remember it took hitler a good 20 years to finally amass enough OUTRIGHT POWER to pull off his stunt. lenin had been exiled in norway and germany before germany sent him back to triumphantly pull of his communist coup. this stuff doesn’t happen overnight folks it take a while and has been obvious to me for that it was coming for a long time.
DEFUND THE FBI !! The leadership ,headed by Director Wray, is worse than Comey’s FBI. It”s a sad day when your top law enforcement agency becomes saturated by swamp denizens. God, please save our nation !
If you do not have a winning argument ,intimidation and terror is the next step to get to and stay in power
Only God knows how many many laws demon crats are guilty of: treason, violating tons of u.s.a. laws, anti-constitution, etc!
Garland has committed treason. Not only does garland need to be in prison garland needs to be hung for treason.
The entire doj needs to be shut down. Every person fired, all pensions revoked even those who retired in the last two years, every single preson involved in the Raid or investigations into parents needs to go to prison for life, then rebuild the doj and fbi with a new law requiring a oath with felony punishment and a law that says no government paid person can lie to the citizens: minimum sentence fir lying will be double whatever sentence there is for a non government paid citizen.
Then they need to defund the cdc, fda, atf, nih, and epa. Fire everyone and rebuild them with honest people.
Just exactly when will the citizenry of this country get fed up and use their Second Amendment rights for their intended purpose?
If we are not living under a tyrannical government…….then how would one otherwise assess it? Sure seems as if the time to act is either now or very soon. Some say “thats what the deep state wants”, well we have been caving and giving them what they have wanted so far so……why not continue?
The democrats are insane, that is the only term left to use for this last chess play. We know all of the other terms apply for their machinations!?
ALL THE FOLKS INVOLVED IN THE RAID ON PRESIDENT TRUMPS’ PRIVATE RESIDENCE SHOULD BE ARRESTED, TRIED, AND EXECUTED FOR TREASON!!!!!!!
Everything they’ve done to attack Trump and conservatives is adding up. Throw in the massive increase of IRS agents, out of control spending and staggering inflation…. Yeah, we’re done.
” Trump’s “appeal” isn’t that he gives people an impression, it’s that he articulates what the American people have already been watching for decades—a slow and steady planned devolution of the American way of life by those in government, or as Barack Obama called it, a fundamental transformation of our country. The intention of the Democrats has always been to place government first and the citizen…elsewhere.” Very, very well said.
Where were the Secret Service agents who were supposed to protect Trump?
What worries me is this Inflation bill that just passed, authorizing 87,000 new IRS agents who will be armed. That is 4 divisions of armed agents, ready to quell any uprising or revolt against the corrupt government.
There is one more thing that people seem to have forgotten. The fbi spied on first candidate then president Trump.
Excellent article, Tammy! Very succinctly and well stated.
PS “Evil Alexa” nails it perfectly!
Bottom line is the powers that be, the deep state, is trying to find every reason so that Donald Trump cannot run for President in 2024. Remember: Paybacks are hell. When you do something mean or crooked, it will come back to bite you in the behind. Democrats need to be careful of what they are doing to America.
Photos show the thirty FBI agents skillfully wielding automatic weapons, enough firepower to suppress a major uprising. But, they were “…only following orders…,” the same as storm troopers in an earlier era. This is a prime example of why ordinary CITIZENS must never allow the Second Amendment to be compromised or diminished.
Optics are everything in a constitutional republic, Garland. The people are watching, observing, taking notes…and pictures.
