We could go on and on and on about the raid on Mar-a-Lago as the most horrendous overreach of government officials and politicians. We've never had a former president raided and ransacked by the FBI. You never send agents at 6am to the president's personal resident. It's third-world, banana-republic tactics. This is Marxism on the move.

Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents, even though they have been drawn up by radical left Democrats and possible future political opponents, who have a strong and powerful vested interest in attacking me, much as they have done for the last 6 years… My poll numbers are the strongest they have ever been, fundraising by the Republican Party is breaking all records, and midterm...

...and the left is spewing all kinds of improbable conspiracy theories. After considerable public pressure, missing-in-action U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland finally addressed the media yesterday, saying he “personally approved the decision” for the FBI to execute a search warrant at President Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago. Garland declined to provide details about the investigation, such what the documents retrieved by the FBI were. Reading from his text Garland piously intoned: "Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy. Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without...

President Donald Trump on Friday ridiculed a report suggesting he had classified documents about nuclear weapons at his home at Mar-a-Lago, which prompted the FBI raid on Monday. “Nuclear weapons issue is a Hoax, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was a Hoax, two Impeachments were a Hoax, the Mueller investigation was a Hoax, and much more,” Trump wrote on social media. The Washington Post cited “people familiar with the investigation,” who claimed the FBI was searching Trump’s home for “classified documents relating to nuclear weapons.” No other details were provided.

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Friday on “New Day” that Republicans characterizing the FBI’s action at Mar-a-Lago as a “raid” using “Gestapo” tactics are out of touch with reality.

After the fascist FBI raided Donald Trump’s private residence, Republican support for the former president hit a record high. Far-left Politico reports that a record high of 58 percent of Republican voters now say they would vote for Trump in a 2024 presidential primary. Additionally, a record high 71 percent now say they want Trump to run again in 2024. Trump’s previous high for the question about voting for him in a 2024 primary was 56 percent, in March of 2022. The last time this poll was taken, last month, Trump earned 54 percent support. Support for Gov. Ron DeSantis...

Mark the date in your memory; August 8, 2022. It will be recorded in history as the "Shattering of American Democracy." Although nowhere near the bestial, violent actions of the Nazi brownshirts against helpless German Jews during the two days known as Kristallnacht in 1939, there is a similarity in the message - one of the end of the rule of democratic values and civil rights. (Kristallnacht, however was the German Nazis' opening salvo of fascism, the beginning of the extermination of Jews and democracy, on November 9, 1938.) Yesterday was a sad day for all of patriotic Americans, as...

A two-tier justice system is not a justice system. It is a totalitarian system. Its purpose is not justice but population control. n Thursday, Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder decided it was the time to bring the subtext of the Jan. 6 show trials and related domestic security state activities into the open. “My guess is that by the end of this process, you’re going to see indictments involving high-level people in the White House, you’re going to see indictments against people outside the White House who were advising them with regard to the attempt to steal the election,...

(The Hill) – The phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” started off as a dig at President Biden that spread quickly online and became a political slogan adopted by the president’s critics on the right, including former President Trump. The phrase became popular among Trump’s base after a reporter interviewing NASCAR driver Brandon Brown mistakenly interpreted the crowd’s background chanting of “f— Joe Biden” as “Let’s Go Brandon.” But recently, the use of the phrase has shown signs of shifting. The precursors to the “Dark Brandon” meme first started to make the rounds online shortly after Biden was elected, when a Chinese...

FBI agents scoured Melania Trump’s wardrobe and spent several hours combing through Donald Trump’s private office, breaking open his safe and rifling through drawers when they raided the former First Family’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida Monday morning. The Post has learned that the search warrant used by the FBI to enter the palatial Palm Beach property focused solely on presidential records and evidence of classified information being stored there. A source close to the former president expressed concern that FBI agents or DOJ lawyers conducting the search could have “planted stuff” because they would not allow Trump’s attorneys inside the...

EXCLUSIVE – Republican Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania says that the FBI has confiscated his cell phone. Perry, in an exclusive statement, told Fox News on Tuesday that while traveling with his family earlier in the day, he was approached by three FBI agents who handed him a warrant and requested that he turn over his cell phone.

Christina Bobb, former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer who was at his Florida mansion on Monday as the FBI searched it, spoke with Real America’s Voice on Tuesday and said that the warrant the FBI showed her was partly sealed. “When I arrived and kind of announced myself as the legal representation for President Trump. I asked to see a copy of the warrant,” Bobb said, recounting the events prior to the search. “Initially they refused and said, ‘You know, we don’t have to show it to you.’ And there was a little bit of an exchange about whether it...

What are we to make of 30 or so FBI agents raiding President Trump’s Florida home to collect maybe 35 boxes of records for what is perhaps the Deep State’s 7th or 8th impeachment attempt? First, why no raids on the Democrats who took the jet to Epstein’s pedophile island with its readily available sex with underage girls? Why no raids on Hunter Biden and the apparent crimes documented on the laptop? Why no raids on Hilary Clinton after she destroyed evidence? The good news, and I think it is great news, is that at least a third of the...

Barely more than a week ago, on July 31, The Epoch Times published an article of mine—Would the Indictment of Donald Trump Lead to Civil War? How fast things move; not even Usain Bolt could keep up. What’s behind the FBI’s raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home besides a burst of Neo-Stalinism reminiscent of Comrade Beria’s “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime,” mixed with an effort to prove once-and-for-all that the USA is becoming a banana republic run by characters out of ”Seven Days in May.” What made 30 (or was it more) FBI agents give a...

Earlier, we told you about deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates’ very sad attempt to make a badass “Dark Brandon” meme happen. Here it is again: Dark Brandon is crushing it pic.twitter.com/w0L8xCzIW8 — Andrew Bates (@AndrewJBates46) August 7, 2022 Pathetic? Without a doubt. But it’s relatively harmless. Relative to this, at least: pic.twitter.com/eb1AxcMFyK — Andrew Bates (@AndrewJBates46) August 8, 2022 Screenshotted, just because: “What’s the big deal?” you might be asking yourselves.

OPINION AND EDITORIAL Trump’s Statement On FBI Raid At His Mar-A-Lago Home Opinion August 8, 2022 Statement by Former President Trump 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. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical...

This is a planned event

Agents from Washington Field Office were involved in raid, the same office that has been the focus of whistleblower complaints. The FBI raid on Donald Trump's home and office in Florida was approved by the main Justice Department and is part of an investigation in Washington D.C. into the former president's handling of classified information, two sources told Just the News on Monday evening. The two sources, both briefed on the raid, said the agents who executed the search were from the Washington Field Office, the same office that whistleblowers recently complained to Sen. Charles Grassley was involved in political...

Nikki Haley, former President Donald Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations, called on President Joe Biden to “answer for his agencies” after the FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. “The American people must always trust their government. The DOJ and FBI don’t have the luxury of saying ‘no comment.’ If they won’t comment, then Biden owes it to the American people to answer for his agencies. If Biden doesn’t act, then Congress needs to handle this,” she tweeted. Her support for Trump is significant as she is viewed as a potential 2024 presidential contender. It is also significant as a growing...

Trump was not at the resort at the time of the raid. It also comes after Garland in recent weeks...
