Democrats are feverishly pushing their destructive agenda before the people get another say. Monday’s raid of Donald Trump’s residence shows how drunk they are with control.
Once upon a time, Democrats were terrified that a power-mad White House would ignore the “will of the people.” They warned of dire consequences if the president did end-runs around Congress.
That was between 2017 and 2021. They subverted the Trump presidency every way they could while he painted within constitutional lines. Now, with an eye on November, they are urging President Biden to go “beast mode.” He already has.
On Monday, the FBI did an unprecedented raid on Mr. Trump’s Florida residence, supposedly searching for classified materials. No president has ever been subjected to a post-term warrant search. Democrats say it’s about “accountability.” Sure, it is. The FBI participated in a three-year hoax falsely accusing Mr. Trump of Russian collusion, and no one has paid a price. Hunter Biden made millions off influence peddling his father in China, Ukraine and Russia, and no one has paid a price. Fifty national security experts signed a letter falsely implying that the New York Post exposé of the laptop was Russian misinformation. No one has paid a price.
“The Democrats are working as fast as they can to wreak as much destruction as possible and point us toward a socialist country – because they know that in November a lot of them are going to be tossed out.” (Robert Knight, in an interview with AFN)
Meanwhile, Mr. Biden is turning America into a Third World country as fast as he can. He has refused to secure America’s border, letting in literally millions of illegal aliens and sending them all over the country. This is impeachable.
He seems bent on declaring climate change a “national emergency.” Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), he could unleash a huge army of bureaucrats to micromanage every farm, business and workplace in America. COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates didn’t quite do the job.
According to the leftwing Brennan Center for Justice and the Congressional Research Service, there are 136 statutory authorities in U.S. law that the president gains under the NEA.
“These powers – many of which are mind-boggling in their scope and potential for abuse – are nearly impervious to congressional or judicial review,” wrote Heartland Institute research editor Jack McPherrin in the Epoch Times. For example, he writes, the government could confiscate farmland, do business only with “green” contractors, restrict the use of cars and trucks and make federal loans only to “green” energy companies.
It’s not like the people running the Oval Office are shy about making Mr. Biden flex. Following the Dobbs ruling overturning Roe, he promptly issued an executive order directing federal agencies to make getting an abortion easier. Last Wednesday, he issued another one directing federal health officials to guarantee women traveling across state lines access to abortions, including through Medicaid.
He issued an executive order on June 15 calling for federal agencies to push the entire LGBTQ agenda and stamp out counseling aimed at aiding people in overcoming same-sex attractions. The order empowers 10 major federal agencies to “safeguard LGBTQ+ youth from dangerous practices like so-called ‘conversion therapy,'” Mr. Biden said.
This is totalitarian. It is a direct threat to freedom of conscience, client self-determination, parents’ rights and religious liberty, not to mention states’ rights. As Bill Donohue of the Catholic League notes, it would “force Catholic doctors and hospitals to perform genital mutilation surgery on men who want to ‘transition’ to a woman.”
Heritage Foundation analyst Roger Severino, who directed the Office of Civil Rights at Health and Human Services in the Trump administration, goes into more detail:
“This rule will mandate that insurance companies cover the full menu of gender identity interventions such as mastectomies, hysterectomies, breast augmentation, hair removal, and a lifetime of cross-sex hormones, including for minor children. It would also force doctors to perform cross-sex surgeries and to administer puberty blockers to children.”
Can you imagine what America’s founders or even the Greatest Generation would think about this bizarre government tyranny?
Speaking of tyranny, the Schumer-Manchin proposed tax bill backed by Mr. Biden includes an increase of $80 billion for the IRS, or six times its current budget. More than half is designated for “enforcement” and hiring 80,000 more agents to shake down middle-class Americans.
The IRS, meanwhile, is curiously amassing gun ammunition, with a stockpile of five million rounds, according to Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican, who has introduced the “Disarm the IRS Act.” Will asking why the IRS is doing this soon be a federal crime?
Some leftists are demanding even more aggressive action.
“If the planet continues to burn, while this virus or a new one continues to ravage it, we will need a far more flexible Constitution with an administrative state that may need to be larger, not smaller, than the one that the [Supreme] court is trying to shrink,” Tom Geoghagan wrote in the Washington Post.
Lamenting the Court’s smacking the EPA and returning power to Congress to make laws, Mr. Geoghagan recounted when some Americans wanted Franklin Roosevelt to act more like Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Even the business journal Barron’s, he noted, had called for “a mild species of dictatorship.”
Likewise, Mr. Geoghagan sees an updated use for that phrase. He ended his column: “Thanks to an active court and an inactive Congress, we may have no alternative but ‘a mild species of dictatorship.'”
This is in a paper whose front-page banner trumpets “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”
The clock is ticking. Like the devil, who knows his time to wreak havoc on Earth has an expiration date, Democrats are feverishly pushing their destructive agenda before the people get another say. Monday’s raid of Mr. Trump’s residence shows how drunk they are with control.
Republicans need to do much more in the next 90 days, using every power at their disposal to throw wrenches into this relentless scheme to remake America into a socialist Sodom and Gomorrah.

If Republicans would get off their respective a**es and stand up to them, they wouldn’t be abusing power. This requires fighting just as dirty as they do—throwing every damned thing back in their faces that they throw in ours. It is way past time to “play nice”—there is no room for that anymore. If you have to become an a** to beat an a**—then, by God, do it. They are pushing the limits on everything to see how much they can get away with. We need to shorten the leash until they choke.
I am tired of this kid-glove approach with Leftists. It is time to pull out the big guns and use them. Biden, Garland, and Wray would not be getting away with the stuff they are getting away with if they were taken to task on it all. Too many damned wooses in the Republican Party.
Exactly. WE ON the right, have for far too long, fought politely. ITS TIME TO FIGHT DIRTY!
Amen to that! The time for “being above that” is OVER! The dummycrats have become so obsessed with holding onto power that there is nbo middle ground or reasoning with them. Full out communism is what they want with THEM in charge while getting rich on the backs of the working citizens through taxation and government over regulation. Dummycrats hate people who made their way through life by working hard for it. Dummycrats are lazy moochers. The ONLY reason they want to destroy our 2nd amendment rights is so they’ll have all the weapons and be able to keep the rest of us in line for the good of the dummycrats. At this point it’s clear there is no reconciliation with these stupid greedy so it’s better just to split the country and go our separate ways. But the dummycrats won’t allow that because their stupid blind idiotic followers are just as lazy as the leaders of the party, which means no tax money. So it will take a shooting civil war to finish this mess for once and for all.
Hence why i scratch my head, when i see folk saying ‘being violent to these so-called LEOs, is wrong”? HOW MANY MORE instances of overreach, how many more times of thuggery from them will it take BEFORE WE CAN ‘respond in kind? OR are we so scared of the repercussions, will that answer always be ‘never’? AND IF that is the case, imo then the left TRULY has won.
This whole FBI move is another desperate attempt to take the focus of all the Biden administrative failures and have THE PEOPLE get emotional over things that AFTER the election will AGAIN be proven false. When you have no victories over your opponent, all the weak failures can do is attack THE PERSON or THE PARTY. You want to know who is really running this country right now? It is the ghost of Saul Alinksy come back to life since Obama, Clinton, now Biden wormed their way into American power;
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon”.
“War is not an intellectual debate, and in the war against social evils there are no rules of fair play.”
“Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live”.,,,(i.e. overwhelm the system by importing as much poverty as possible).
Debt –“ Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.”
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it”,,,,,,,today Called Donald Trump, their north polarized Santa that keeps on giving.
Hmmm…wasn’t it after the 2020 election (that Biden won) Democrats were screaming that a “Tyrannical” Trump would refuse to vacate the White House and not surrender the Office of President? Cynical me already suspects there will be massive voter fraud by Democrats in 2022 and 2024. But what if the Democrats still lose the Congress and Presidency? Will they peacefully surrender their offices as the Constitution requires? Or will the Democrats, screaming “voter fraud” or “national emergency” simply ignore any results they don’t like and refuse to surrender their power? Should be interesting.
This Treasonous, dishonest, destructive, Socialist Democrat Party’s objective is to deliberately lie, cheat and steal elections in order to take total control of the American people, by restricting U.S. oil production, increase Taxes and the cost of everything and bring American commerce and economy to its knees and to promote Socialism.
Then access power and retain it by any means available –
no matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation.
This treasonous, hateful, destructive, immoral, socialist Democrat Party and their corrupt, demented puppet president has become our country’s most destructive and deadliest ENEMY!
We either bow down to this treasonous Socialist Democrat Party State or WE the PEOPLE destroy this Socialist Democrat Party State.
Vote EVERY Democrat and their Democrat RINOs OUT of offices everywhere, from the president to the school board!
As always, THEY ACCUSE others, of what THEY THEMSELVES are guilty of!
Moronic, disgusting, dis-honest, deplorable, dispicable, demonic dem-rats abusing power?? I find that hard to believe (not!)
After 2020 I didn’t believe we’d ever have another real legitimate election. I still believe that as I see our country rapidly falling to the Commies. After all, Communists don’t really even need to bother with elections.
Sad, but true.
Which is why part of me fears, we’re all being fools, thinking there will be a red wave this november…
