With the recent FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Florida home, the Democrats and the Biden administration have raised the political stakes to a level from which this country as we have known it may never return. All one can say to those that are demanding a criminal prosecution of the former president is: Be careful what you wish for; you just might get it.

Although the raid ostensibly was to see if Trump took classified documents from the White House when he left in a chaotic move in January 2021, former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy believes the Biden administration was again attempting to find that proverbial “smoking gun” tying Trump to the January 6 Capitol riot.

Whether or not Attorney General Merrick Garland is able to grab the brass ring and prosecute Trump after yet one more fishing expedition is another story, although I doubt that any president has seen as many resources used to investigate him as has Donald Trump, but the Department of Justice has not filed charges yet.

Understand that anyone reading this article has committed a federal crime at some point, perhaps more than once. I adopted four children from overseas, and while I was not involved in the details (done through legitimate and registered adoption agencies), I can be held criminally responsible if anyone paid bribes in the countries where the adoptions took place. Even if investigators could not prove someone paid bribes, they could still charge me with a crime on a mere pretext. And the charges would stick, and most likely a federal jury would vote to convict.

Remember that Democrats wanted Amy Coney Barrett’s adoption of two children from Haiti investigated. While the demands were overtly political, it was clear that the Democrats believed in using criminal law to achieve political purposes in her case, but using the law that way hardly is limited to operatives of the Democratic Party.

(Lest one believe I exaggerate, read this account about lobster importers charged with federal crimes for allegedly violating Honduran lobster regulations—with the attorney general of Honduras telling the FBI there was no violation. A federal jury convicted the men, and they were sent to federal prison for eight years.)

Anyone who has Democrat friends on social media knows that they are obsessed with having Trump charged, convicted, and thrown in prison. Because I spent many years researching and writing about federal criminal law, I can say that if federal authorities wish to charge someone with a crime, nothing, not even the law itself, stands in their way.

So, if the Biden administration really wants to charge Trump with something, the FBI will have no trouble cooking up something to order.

Furthermore, if the DOJ were to charge Trump with something, he would be tried in Washington, DC, facing a jury made up entirely of DC Democrats that almost surely will have decided guilt even before the trial begins. While the feds already know this, they also know something else: if they file criminal charges against Trump, they know they will be unleashing a mix of anger and political forces that they cannot control. If one believes there is a red-blue divide in the United States now, the public anger from those who have supported Trump will dwarf anything we saw January 6, 2021.

We also are hearing the usual “no one is above the law” platitudes from David French and Nancy Pelosi, as though the DOJ had never placed its thumb on the scales when engaged in other investigations and prosecutions of politicians and politically connected people.

One journalist who does understand what is happening, someone who called out the bogus “Trump Dossier” that turned out to be a dirty Hillary Clinton campaign trick is Matt Taibbi, a man of the Left but also someone interested in the truth.

Not surprisingly, Taibbi has weighed in on this latest development and he sure doesn’t sound like the New York Times. He writes:

We’ve reached the stage of American history where everything we see on the news must first be understood as political theater. In other words, the messaging layer of news now almost always dominates the factual narrative, with the latter often reported so unreliably as to be meaningless anyway. Yesterday’s sensational tale of the FBI raiding the Mar-a-Lago home of former president Donald Trump is no different.
As of now, it’s impossible to say if Trump’s alleged offense was great, small, or in between. But this for sure is a huge story, and its hugeness extends in multiple directions, including the extraordinary political risk inherent in the decision to execute the raid.

He continues:

The top story today in the New York Times, bylined by its top White House reporter, speculates this is about “delayed returning” of “15 boxes of material requested by officials with the National Archives.” If that’s true, and it’s not tied to January 6th or some other far more serious offense, then the Justice Department just committed institutional suicide and moved the country many steps closer to once far-out eventualities like national revolt or martial law.

The editors of the NYT, CNN, David French and his fellow “Never Trumpers,” and most of Twitter really don’t care if Trump really committed a crime or not. They want him in jail for purely political reasons. These are the same people that insisted that the Hunter Biden laptop affair was nothing more than a “Russian disinformation” effort, and since it involves Hunter and his famous father, Joe, it is clear that there will be no effort by the FBI or Merrick Garland, or anyone else in the DOJ, to investigate beyond something cursory, enough to have the authorities claim “there is no there there.”

At this time, we have no idea if Trump violated federal criminal laws or if we are looking at yet another bogus investigation, a road we have been down before. This is not to defend Trump’s presidency or agree with his insistence that the Democrats stole the 2020 election. The former president’s postelection antics certainly do not speak well of his character or the prospect of another run for the presidency.

But we should not fool ourselves about the consequences of the jihad against Trump and the never-ending “jail to the chief” efforts of America’s political elites. Sooner or later, other people will be in power, and since the elites have shown no restraint in pursuing Trump and his allies, one can be sure that no one else will show restraint, either. If the political classes have not yet turned the USA into a Third World country, they are well on their way to finishing the job.

CALIFORNIA SHUTTING DOWN SUPPLY CHAIN? 70,000 Trucks May Be Off The Road In DAYS!

Josh Sigurdson reports on the controlled collapse of the supply chain as 70,000 trucks are said to possibly be off the road in days in California due to a bill that is absolutely decimating the industry. California is not surprisingly one of the most regulated and taxed states out there and right in the middle of a supply chain crisis created by the state on purpose to push us into a Great Reset "convenience" agenda with social credit, they decide to go after truckers more. This is quite obviously a controlled collapse. Meanwhile in the Netherlands, protests continue as protesters shoot manure at government buildings as the country which is the second largest agricultural exporter on Earth plans to eliminate a third of all farms in the country. 50,000 farms are said to be shut down to "stop nitrogen pollution." If anyone actually thinks this is all accidental, they need to give their heads a shake.

Biden Corruption In your face

We are living in a time when the enormity of Joe Biden’s treason is finally coming to light even to those who refuse to see his central role in Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset. And as food and energy are systematically dismantled. The remaining liars for the Administration attempt to cover for compromised puppet Biden’s sabotage of the United States. And as China and India siphon off American fuel reserves. While American inflation is at a historic high. Biden has already signed off 54 Billion in taxpayer dollars to his corrupt partners in Ukraine along with a laundry list of military aid. Meanwhile, war torn and supposed cash strapped Ukrainian politicians have been reported smuggling millions in U.S. cash across the Hungarian border and have been seen with high end prostitutes soaking up the sun on the yachts of billionaires. In April of 2022, Biden's Energy Department lead by the great reset minion Jennifer Granholm announced the sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec or Sinopec, which is wholly owned by the Chinese government. As of last month, more than five million barrels of oil were released from the U.S. emergency reserves, and sent overseas at least one shipment of American crude went to China,according to Reuters. In 2015, a private equity firm cofounded by Hunter Biden, Bohai Harvest RST, previously owned a stake in the Sinopec Marketing valued at $1.7 million. While Americans plummet headlong into a recession and gas prices double. The Biden family is selling off our assets.This is high treason. The sooner Americans comprehend that heavily compromised Joe Biden is merely the puppet of NWO globalist sabotage to destroy the United States the sooner we can salvage what is left of our borders, our elections, our economy, our energy, our farmland and our future.

Wake Up!

Maybe the establishment doesn't know it due to their narcissism and the symbiotic CDC-FDA-Pfizer cash cow they are shooting into their veins. But no matter how many bots try to prop it up on Twitter, the world isn't buying the vaccine lockdown Great Reset prison planet lie anymore. The Johns Hopkins Pandemic study showed that the lockdowns did more harm than good. Hundreds of people under 40 are going into cardiac arrest and suffering from Sudden Adult death syndrome. Celebrities are dying. Countless vaccine injuries and deaths are all over twitter. Blood Clot gaslighting is coming out of the woodwork.Still birth numbers are skyrocketing.Male fertility is plummeting.While the ineffective vaccines themselves can’t compete with Natural immunity.And recently a Swedish study revealed what had been relegated to conspiracy theory to be horribly true. To add to the massive violation of the Nuremberg code. The masks not only never worked. But research is now showing not only that masks don't protect you but may actually make you sick, the rationale behind their widespread mandated usage must be questioned. Using CDC data, researchers with the University of Louisville calculated total COVID-19 case growth and mask use for the U.S. No significant differences were found in case growth between mandate and non-mandate states during periods of low or high transmission. "The widespread use of masks did not reduce COVID-19 transmission in Europe, and a moderate positive correlation was found between mask usage and deaths in Western Europe An update to a CDC study on school mask mandates, using nearly six times more data, found no significant relationship between mask mandates in U.S. schools and COVID-19 case rates In Kansas, counties with a mask mandate had significantly higher COVID-19 case fatality rates than counties without a mask mandate One way masks cause harm may be the “Foegen effect” — the idea that deep re-inhalation of droplets and virions caught on facemasks might make COVID-19 infection more likely or more severe. In fact Dr. Shanna Swan, a professor of Environmental Medicine & Public Health at Mount Sinai Health System, has warned in a new book that phthalates, a chemical commonly used in the manufacturing of plastics, can shrink penises and decrease male fertility." Fauci and company need to prepare for the inevitable repercussions they cannot escape. Everyone knows or will soon know that the entire pandemic response has been a blatant ruse that created 500 new billionaires, crippled our economy, exponentially killed and injured millions and decimated our educational system. By design the first battle in a war on modern civilization that has only just begun.

CNN The Most Treasonous Name In News

Do you want to know a true barometer of America's disdain for the invasion of our southern border? Look no further than the massive failure of the Biden Administration's cheerleading squad. CNN.....The most treasonous name in news. CNN's abysmal failure projected a billion dollar streaming service that would rival all the others. Expected to bring in a few million viewers an hour to begin with. But only managed to rake in 10,000 gullible minions per day. Which is likely more like a few hundred after CNN's 4000 employees and their families dutifully tune in. This catastrophe is more of a measuring of the mind of America than any poll. You can't lie to people day after day, get caught week after week, play down a child sex trafficking scandal amongst your employees and expect to skyrocket in the ratings as a News organization. All the hubris of Chris Wallace and buffoonery of Brian Stelter can't put humpty Zucker back together again. And so, even for anyone on the left with a lick of sense, the blind fold of propaganda is slipping off of the stark reality of the massive unrelenting national security threat pummeling the United State's southern border everyday. A wide open border surging into the United States with the Cartel's deadly fentanyl poison. As the DEA reported "Only weeks ago, the DEA reported overdose deaths in the U.S. had topped 100,000 for the first time over a 12-month period ending last spring. Last year, fatal overdoses rose by more than 40 percent across both D.C. and Virginia. As of Aug. 2021, D.C. had already surpassed the number of drug overdose deaths for the year prior. In the District, this overdose problem is disproportionately impacting black residents and communities, who make up almost 85 percent of all fatal drug overdoses since 2015, according to the D.C. medical examiner’s office. The Commonwealth of Virginia and Maryland drug overdose deaths are on track to outpace the already tragic previous few years. And into Biden's hellscape. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is relocating busloads of thousands of undocumented immigrants from who knows where with zero understanding of our nation's laws and its deadly vices into the District Of Criminal's streets. If there are any lawmakers listening. Don't stop with Washington D.C. Deliver these hordes to the front steps of CNN, MSNBC, and the Mockingbird media's headquarters. They will welcome them with open arms.
