The martyrdom of Donald J. Trump: Trump Issues Statement After Being Indicted

My dilemma concerns the future.  Another Trump presidency doesn't sound all that bad.  But what about another Biden presidency? American Thinker

  "Former President Donald Trump responded after news broke out on Thursday of a Manhattan jury voting to indict him in relations to the Stormy Daniels case.

" 'From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats – the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country – have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement,” Trump said.

“ 'You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.”

“ 'The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable – indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference,” he continued.

“ 'Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.”

The martyrdom of Donald J. Trump - American Thinker  "Were it not for the crucifixion of Jesus, there'd be no Christians.  Such a dramatic end of a narrative ensured the historic importance of its subject.  This is now happening in the case of former president Donald Trump.  The process began when the FBI raided his personal residence at Florida's Mar-a-Lago.  The heavy-handed nature of the raid revealed its overt political nature.

Democracy in America on life support as President Trump is indicted - American Thinker  . . ."In January 2021, the Democrat-controlled House baselessly impeached Trump again, for "incitement of insurrection" and "lawless action at the Capitol". 

"Next was the January 6 "insurrection" probe, which like Mueller’s team, consisted of those who presumed or wanted Trump to be guilty.

"During the committee's televised show trial, only anti-Trump witnesses who grounded their testimony on baseless hearsay were invited, while Trump’s attorneys weren't allowed to cross-question these adversarial witnesses.

"There has never been a day since Trump was sworn-in in 2017 that he wasn’t probed or attacked. None of this would ever have happened had he not run for President.

"It wasn’t just Trump; his supporters were also targeted.

"The protestors of January 6 were detained for prolonged periods of time and were given draconian punishments.

"Parents who opposed their children being indoctrinated with far-left propaganda were branded domestic terrorists.". . .

New York Young Republican Club Issues Statement Responding to Trump Indictment — 'This is Total War' | The Gateway Pundit

“ 'Today, our nation careens toward tyranny at an unprecedented pace,” the statement began. “An impudent cabal of radical figures abandons all propriety in their dogged attacks on President Donald J. Trump. We have taken a decisive step away from the values that define our national character.”

“ 'Every utterance that has escaped these monsters’ lips since President Trump first came down the escalator has built toward this moment; each falsehood, each misdirection, each deliberate misportrayal found its culmination in Alvin Bragg’s desperate action today,” the club’s statement said. “Radical leftist interests, beholden to an elite, internationalist cabal have taken the unprecedented step of indicting President Donald J. Trump, the leading candidate for the 2024 presidential election.”

"The statement continued, “Every American feels today the solid grasp of the Fifth Column on his throat; henceforth, we must openly acknowledge what so many have long known: that control of our nation’s fate has long been prised from our grasp. Let anyone who celebrates this downfall of our republic be forever branded a traitor to our nation. No one who mocks the people’s will can claim the title of an American.' ”. . .

Obama Blames Trump For China’s Rise

 The Daily Wire

Even as he worked to strike a deal, Trump waged a trade war against China during his four years in office, which included steep tariffs on imports in what he said was an effort to reverse a deficit that disadvantaged the United States.

. . ."The Democrat said China began to change “once I left office” in 2017 when Trump entered the White House following his victory over Obama’s preferred candidate Hillary Clinton.

“ 'With my successor coming in, I think he saw an opportunity because the U.S. president didn’t seem to care that much about a rules-based international system,” Obama said of Xi.

“ 'And so as a consequence, I think China’s attitude as well, we can take advantage of what appears to be a vacuum internationally on a lot of these issues,” Obama said.". . .

Obama, being a media darling, feels free to make any claim that comes to mind, knowing it will be praised by virtually all media, especially MSNBC, CNN, and Hollywood. TD

Post-Trump, Biden unleashes hell

  Don Surber: Post-Trump, Biden unleashes hell

Inflation, losing a war we had won, and losing a border we had secured are psy ops that is meant to depress Americans. People who believe they are hopeless cannot rally and rail against their evil leaders.

"President Trump’s departure from the White House brought back the Dark Ages of the deep state’s ownership of the federal government. The new regime seeks to punish his supporters as well as destroy him.

"The destruction of East Palestine, Ohio, epitomized the cruel nature of the vengeance of our government on those who dared want to make America great again. The village is poor and white (98%) and voted overwhelmingly for Trump. The EPA used a train wreck as an opportunity to inflict pain. The administration never acknowledged the heartbreak. Biden visited Ukraine, not Ohio.

"The person who oversees trains for the federal government is the first openly gay mayor of a college town in the Midwest whose goals are to make paternity leave months long so he and his chubby hubby can bond with the children they adopted because we stupidly allow gay adoption.

"He also Buttigieg-ed up transport ships by screwing up the unloading of cargo from Red China. Biden hired him because he is gay and not because he shows any competence or knowledge of transportation. Biden’s attitude is that is what Civil Service-protected managers are for.

"The campaign to make America pay for daring to elect Trump began with the Reichstag Fire the FBI and Capitol Police lit on January 6, 2021. The president rallied hundreds of thousands of people at the National Mall. FBI instigators lured them to the Capitol where the Capitol Police let them in — trapping them in an imitation insurrection.". . .

 "Fox News’ Jesse Watters is roasting President Joe Biden’s efforts to relate to the crowds he is speaking to.

"“Joe Biden’s always been known for being a vivid storyteller,” Watters began Wednesday night.

He played a series of videos of the president speaking at various events and sharing how he said various groups of people impacted his upbringing.

On Oct. 3, 2022, Biden said, “I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community.”

And in 2020, he declared, “I got my education for real in the Black church –  and that’s not hyperbole, that’s a fact.”

Biden said in September during a ceremony celebrating Rosh Hashanah, “I probably went to shul more than many of you did.”

The president also claimed in October 2021 that he used to drive a tractor-trailer and was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania

After his time as vice president, Biden was given the title of Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. However, fact-checkers have failed to find evidence he taught classes.

Dr. Fauci Now Says His Draconian Lockdowns based on the Communist Chinese Policies Lasted Too Long - After Destroying Businesses, the Economy, and American Lives

"In November 2022, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, along with Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, deposed Anthony Fauci (head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases [NIAID]) at the National Institutes for Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland.

"The Gateway Pundit previously reported in May that the Missouri and Louisiana Attorneys General filed a lawsuit (Missouri v. Biden) against the Biden Administration, including Joe Biden himself, Anthony Fauci, the Department of Homeland Security and nearly a dozen federal agencies and Secretaries.  The Gateway Pundit is a plaintiff in this case.

"As The Gateway Pundit reported, the highly politicized FBI and dirtbag FBI Director Chris Wray was busy taking a pledge to recruit more women “in an effort expected to advance diversity, strengthen partnerships, and enhance operational success.” This is despite the shooter, Audrey Hale’s last messages stating, “I’m planning to die today,” and “THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!!”

"Hale continued, “You’ll probably hear about me on the news after I die.”

"Others shared their disgust with Katie Hobbs and her team."

 The Six Christians Martyred In Nashville Are A Call To Repentance (thefederalist.com)

Until eternity, these six souls will join the millions of others “slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held,” who cry to God “with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?'”

"If you weren’t aware that the West’s culture war is also a spiritual battle, let the martyrdom of Christ’s six precious saints in Nashville, Tennessee this week open your eyes. We “wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

"It should be no surprise that worshippers of demons rage against those bought and sealed with Christ’s holy blood, and identify Christians as their worst enemy. They hate us because of Christ. Our Savior, whose torture and triumph we honor next week with Holy Week and Easter, told us to expect their violent, unceasing hatred.

Here’s Jesus in Matthew chapter 10. . .

. . ."Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, Cynthia Peak, Katherine Koonce, and Mike Hill lost their lives for Christ’s sake. Not metaphorically, as all Christians must do, but also literally. It is a heavy cross, and thus a heavy honor. That heaviness is why Christians have always, from our first days, honored our martyrs.". . .

Prepare to stand. Is that not the defining test of our day? It seems so simple to stand courageously for the true and the good, but it’s incredibly rare. When evil comes, we don’t run. We must not participate in it or refuse to see and name it. We simply stand. 

Realigning California Would Realign America

 American Greatness  "The conventional wisdom on the Right in most of the rest of America is that California is a lost cause. Rather than fight inside California, where you are up against the most powerful and monolithic alliance of progressive special interests in the world, dedicate resources to flipping purple states, and keeping red states red. But to invert a popular quote attributed to Nietzsche, even if you do not gaze into the abyss, the abyss will still gaze back into you.

"California’s role in influencing the future of the country is unparalleled. In addition to its economic and demographic weight, California remains the epicenter of America’s media and entertainment industry, as well as its high-tech industry. Even if several American states defy the momentum of California’s political class, laws governing California frequently end up becoming federal policy. The abyss is coming for us all, and its epicenter is in California.

"It’s expensive to engage in public education in a state with a population of nearly 40 million, including 22 million registered voters. California’s political culture is almost completely dominated by social radicals and environmentalist extremists. But if the challenges to changing the political culture in California are daunting, the potential rewards are even greater.

"There is an immediate financial incentive for the Right to take the fight into the belly of the beast, which is that whatever money California’s well-heeled public sector unions and progressive billionaires have to spend on defense in their own state is money that will not be used to swing close races in other states. The question then only becomes how to engage in asymmetric warfare to ensure that California’s progressives spend far more money on defense than their attackers spend on offense. In this manner, even if the political battle is lost, the money is well spent.\

"An example of this strategy is Proposition 32, waged in 2012 by reformers attempting to force government unions to obtain consent from their members before they could spend any of their dues on political campaigning. A lot was at stake for these public sector unions, which in California spend an estimated $600 million on political campaigning and lobbying each two-year election cycle. That’s a lot of money, even in California. Voters rejected Proposition 32, but proponents spent $10 million, whereas the union defenders spent over $108 million. That’s $98 million that did not flow into the other U.S. elections in the 2012 cycle.". . .

Gavin Newsom is cornered by the reparations clown show he unleashed

"Gov Brylcreem"

 Thomas Lifson- American Thinker  . . ."Democrats totally control both houses of the legislature, and who among them would vote against reparations? Blacks’ share of California’s population is well below the national average, but in a state utterly dominated by the left, it would take courage – and leadership from the governor – to go against the fad (and left wing obsession) of reparations.". . .

"Plans that spend impossible amounts of money, taxing people wholly innocent of any guilt to bestow fabulous wealth on others to compensate for wrongs that none of them suffered: this is California Democrat policies at their zenith. No wonder that the dummy Newsom is dummying up.". . .

Biden morphs into Carter faster than Jimmy did

 “Biden is a worse president than Carter because Carter proceeded cautiously in his first couple of years. Inflation was tolerable in his first couple of years. But Carter also abandoned Iran and left 50 American hostages behind two years later,” he said. "Those hostages, however, were returned as Reagan entered office. The difference now is that it looks like Biden will leave people behind, he said.

. . ."Back in May, when inflation headlines were raging, gas prices were surging, and the coronavirus crisis was kicking in again, critics of President Joe Biden tried to label him the new Jimmy Carter. Former President Donald Trump joked, “That is very unfair to Jimmy Carter.”

"The label didn’t stick in most circles because Carter was saddled with one crisis Biden had avoided, the foreign policy debacle in the Iran hostage crisis.

"But now, as Biden muddles through a much worse crisis in Afghanistan, the comparison is returning, and this time, it’s sticking.". . .

. . ."Alfredo Ortiz, the president and CEO of the influential Job Creators Network, for example, said the parallels are clear to “ordinary Americans."

"He cited surging prices on everyday necessities, weak job growth, threats of high taxes, and the Afghan debacle as permanent stains that Biden won’t be able to wash out.

“ 'The American people can only hope,” he said, “that Biden follows Carter in yet another respect, being ousted after only one term in office.' ”. . .

Who Owns the University? By Victor Davis Hanson

  American Greatness

The megalomania of the current crop of students, faculty, and administrators at our radical universities blinds them to the claims of their generations of benefactors.

"The most recent shout-down debacle at Stanford’s law school, one of many such recent sordid episodes, prompts the question: “Who owns our universities?” 

The law students who are in residence for three years apparently assume they embody the university. And so, they believe they represent and speak for a score of diverse Stanford interests when they shout down federal Judge Kyle Duncan, as if he were an intruder into their own woke private domain. he most recent shout-down debacle at Stanford’s law school, one of many such recent sordid episodes, prompts the question: “Who owns our universities?”

"But private universities, while different, are not really so different.  

"Take again Stanford as a typical example. It receives about $1.5 billion per year in federal taxpayer grants alone to its various faculty, labs, research centers, and programs. 

"Its annual budget exceeds $8 billion. If Stanford accepts such huge federal and state direct largess, do the taxpayers who provide it have some say about how and under what conditions their recipients use their money?
