With the FBI raid on Trump’s home, America has fallen into the abyss.
When the FBI raided Donald Trump’s home on Monday, a key aspect of what made the United States of America great and free has been lost, and likely cannot be recovered. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson detested one another for years before their eventual reconciliation, but neither one used the agencies of the U.S. government to hound, persecute or discredit the other. Other bitter political opponents throughout the history of the republic have never before used the government’s own mechanisms of justice to do injustice to their foes. Joe Biden, Merrick Garland and their henchmen have brought America to a new phase of its history, and it is not likely to be one that is marked by respect for the rule of law or defense of the rights of individual citizens. Instead, we are entering an ugly age of authoritarianism, in which the brute force of the state is used to bend the people to the will of the tyrant.
Trump announced on Monday, “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.”
The 45th president is not given to understatement, but the FBI raid on his home is much more than just unnecessary and inappropriate. It is criminal. The FBI that was heavily involved in trying to frame and destroy Trump in the Russian Collusion hoax is now trying once again to destroy him, apparently by claiming that he improperly took classified material from the White House. They never cared when Hillary Clinton misused classified material on a grand scale; what is the difference? They’re also likely trying to find something to link him more firmly to the January 6 “insurrection” that never was. The Left’s January 6 narrative has been full of holes from the beginning: Trump told the demonstrators to proceed peacefully, the people who entered the Capitol had no weapons, and no one had sketched out any kind of plan to do what the Left continues to claim that Trump was trying to do all along, overthrow the government and rule as a dictator.
But Joe Biden’s handlers are desperately afraid that Trump will return to the White House on January 20, 2025 and that things will go harder for them next time than they did during his first term. They’re afraid that a vengeful Trump will do a genuine and thorough housecleaning of the desperately corrupt and compromised Washington bureaucracy, and that many of them will, quite justly, end up out of power, and some of them will, even more justly, end up in prison. So they’ve determined to pre-emptively do the same to Trump. If they can’t actually find anything to prosecute him for (and Lord knows they’ve tried, this is the most investigated and poked and prodded and scrutinized man in American history, and still those who hate him have nothing), then at very least they hope to taint Trump so completely in the eyes of the distracted and indifferent public that they will have a fighting chance in 2024.
This is banana republic stuff. This is the kind of thing that moved Woodrow Wilson to intervene militarily in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua, explaining: “We are friends of constitutional government in America; we are more than its friends, we are its champions. I am going to teach the South American republics to elect good men.” Wilson was an authoritarian scoundrel and one of the worst presidents we have ever endured, but much as he hated Theodore Roosevelt and feared that he would be reelected to the presidency in 1920 (instead, Roosevelt died in 1919), Wilson never had rogue government agents raid Roosevelt’s home looking for something they could use to pin some crime on him.
Merrick Garland recently signaled that something like this was in the offing, when he emphasized that no one was above the law and anyone could be prosecuted. No one is above that law, that is, except Hillary Clinton, and Hunter Biden, and all the FBI officials who have been implicated in the Russian Collusion hoax, and all the other Leftists who have escaped and will continue to escape prosecution because they hold what the elites consider to be acceptable political opinions.
The two-tier justice system that aggressively prosecutes conservatives while turning a blind eye to Leftists who have committed similar or worse crimes is now out in the open. Trump did nothing, but the FBI will find some crime for which the Justice Department will prosecute him. Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden did a great deal, but none of it matters to corrupt officials who share their worldview.
The lesson is clear: in America today, in the corrupt kleptocracy of Joe Biden, you have to have the right opinions. Then all doors will open for you and you can even break laws with impunity, and have no fear of prosecution. But if you dare to dissent from the opinions of the elites, prepare to be hounded by the new super-IRS and the weaponized FBI, and you’ll face raids, and prison, and who knows what else is coming.
Many conservatives are saying that this ensures Trump’s victory in 2024. But what makes them think that this corrupt regime will allow the man whom they fear and hate above all others return to the White House? It’s clear now. They will stop at nothing.
This is no longer a republic, except of the banana variety. It may be a republic again someday, but for now, the great American experiment is over. Born July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia, died August 8, 2022, in Mar-A-Lago, at the hands of Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and Christopher Wray.
Mike says
news flash the more the Democrats harass Trump the more people see the crimes of the Democrats I will vote for Trump why because if they were to find any misgiving which they will not but Biden family is one of if not the greatest criminal to ever hold office. That’s beyond the crimes that happened in the 1920’s The entire Democratic party needs to be brought down
James Hoagland says
Mike- it doesn’t matter the voting is fixed… Trump’s loss was the sign of the end of the illusion that your vote means something. Check out the support the democrats receive in contributions and see who owns them. The Democrats are not democrats they are democrat-socialists and some more than others but in fact authoritarians as in fascists or some Maoists sect. Info is still available on the web to find out for yourself.
Wazzup says
When they stole the election so blatantly, I said to the missus, this is the end for the US, we watched as the steal happened here in OZ, when Trump was up by hundreds of thousands, my wife said,great trump can’t lose now, I said give it time as we know how devious your DS and dems are, and in no time at all we saw the steal. Wife was like, how can that happen, I reminded her of the movie free state of Jones and how even back then the dems were corrupted to the core and have only gotten worse.
There should be loud bangs all over America as gallows trap doors open, as Dems drop. Not that it helps, but hell awaits them all, inc many here that support the demonrats and RINO’s
God can perform miracles, so if he wants, then Trump will regain his rightful place, if not then I reckon Gods judgement is hanging over not only the US but here and Europistan as well
James Hoagland says
Wazzup- agree with your words. But then the question is what to do?
SKA says
I considered the Republic to have died on November 4, 2020 when the “Democratic” Party subverted the election. This blatant theft means there is no guarantee of any Republican victory in either the upcoming Midterms or the 2024 election. The Democrats truly are enemies of the people.
Infidel says
Same here! If anything, I’m surprised that it took this long to get to where we are now, particularly given the efficiency by which Biden on day 1 signed so many EOs effectively sabotaging this nation
Brian Hunter says
The left openly cheers Stalin’s dictum “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime”. For the left, there is no illegitimate path to power. The left either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that the people who helped bring Stalin to power became the victims of his brutal purges. When the time comes for them, there will be no recourse.
Infidel says
That dictum was Beria’s to Stalin, not Stalin’s himself
gravenimage says
Grimly spot on, Brian and Infidel.
Infidel says
I see this as a coup by the Dems to try and seize permanent power. As it is, they just passed the laughably named ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ this year, this close to the election, when it’s likely to be fresh on everyone’s minds. Now, w/ this raid on Mar-a-lago, they are signaling that they are willing to shut down all pillars of this republic if they can get away w/ it
I think we have a civil war in the making. In fact, we probably are already in a civil war, except that only one side – the Dems – are fighting it. I do disagree w/ RS above when he claims that Joe Biden is the first to have misused official power: Barack Obama did it w/ both Lois Lerner and Eric Holder, and if he is the one remotely running this administration, then he’s doing it b’cos it’s Joe, rather than Barack, who’ll be discredited
Keys says
When I heard this my first thought was the murder of Czar Nicholas II and his family.
The image that came to me was of Sir Ralph Richardson (as Alexander Gromeko in exile having fled Moscow) in “Dr. Zhivago” exclaiming:
“They’ve KILLED THE TSAR — AND ALL HIS FAMILY!”
The Democrat “leadership” is, no doubt, capable of this madness.
As Strelnikov in the same film proclaimed to Zhivago: “The private life is dead!”
So go the Democrats!
Wellington says
I despise Islam and I despise the Democratic Party of the USA. No patriotic American can remain a Democrat—no exceptions.
James Lincoln says
Wellington says,
“No patriotic American can remain a Democrat—no exceptions.”
100% agree.
There were, of course, some patriotic JFK type Democrats in the past – but no more.
Especially after August 8th, 2022…
john smith says
What the hell is going on in this once great nation, I never in my wildest dreams did I ever believe that the US could sink to such a level. The demonrats are working with the forces of darkness, and are determined to bring trumped up charges against Trump.
somehistory says
Mr. Trump put a video on his social platform, runs about three and a half minutes. Evidently, he was not in Florida at the time of the illegal invasion of his property, and said they even opened his safe.
He turned the papers over in jFeb., as the agency which handles such things said, so they were using this as a ruse to try to find something with which to incriminate him for the Jan 6 nonsurrection.
Question is, did they plant something?
Infidel says
Today, on Breitbart radio on Sirius, I heard a caller suggest this possibility: that they could have planted incriminating evidence to later really impound Trump. To which someone I know told me that the Mar-a-lago staff had the cameras running all the while and refused to turn it off

It does seem as if the old republic has come to an end. My hope is that a new republic will be born on Nov. 5, 2024. The first steps will begin with the election this coming November and these dogs who are now running our country will begin living in deep fear of what will come after that. It’s most likely they will become even more dangerous during the interim period so we will have to stay strong and never give up hope. Keep in mind that nothing lasts forever and neither will they. Though the worst may be yet come, have no doubt that the end for them is drawing nearer with each passing day.

The destruction of the Republic will be labeled misconduct. If you listen you will already hear that label being used. Over a decade ago I stated that we cannot live together as one country with democrats but most Americans just shrugged and carried on with their lives. Turns out I was a wee bit wrong. Democrats along with their republican co-conspirators are carrying out a variation of the Nero Decree on the American people. That group is not at all creative. History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes. They have a lot of help from people who may live right next door to you. Look at our so-called representatives and observe what states they have slithered out from.
I believe the military needs to be restructured so as to only allow residents of a state to be based in their respective states. Nothing that is managed by DC can be trusted. The American people are standing at the edge of a bottomless abyss. We are in extremely dangerous times. The establishment hunted down Bin Laden for doing a lot less. I guess Bin Laden was encroaching on their action and had to be rid of.
I wonder what Lincoln would say regarding the Gettysburg address if he were to see what preserving the Union has come to.
Yes they have help but always remember that when the shtf the dead or made up supporters wont count.
