There’s been a lot of talk about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reportedly considering criminal charges against former President Donald Trump over his campaign payout to keep his (alleged) affair with former porn star Stormy Daniels under wraps. Now, I’ve already discussed at great length why I don’t believe such charges would stick – especially since what some call a “payoff” is far from illegal. But Senator Rand Paul recently suggested another action for Bragg’s consideration of action.
Recently, Paul suggested on Twitter that it’s not Trump who should be an order of arrest, but rather Bragg himself. “A Trump indictment would be a disgusting abuse of power,” he said. “The DA should be put in jail.”
Now, ever since Senator Paul tweeted out the message, he’s been met with a great deal of criticism. People have responded to him noting how he’s “off base,” and some even suggested that he doesn’t “deserve your high office.” But is this suggestion by Paul really that far “off base”? Let’s take a closer look at the bigger picture.
President Joe Biden and his administration have been after Trump for the longest time ever since he departed office a couple of years ago. You may recall last year, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) led a baseless “raid” on his Mar-a-Lago compound, in an effort to find what they deemed “classified documents.”
If that wasn’t enough, Trump has been the target of attacks left and right, with the Democrats and Biden’s administration threatening to chip away at his credibility. Now, we have Bragg, who, according to Trump’s post on Truth Social, is targeting for arrest. Though one did not take place on Tuesday as predicted, some believe it’s only a matter of time.
Still not convinced? Let’s take an even closer look at what happened with Biden. His son, Hunter, has been bringing all sorts of attention to himself surrounding his infamous laptop. And yet, have any charges been filed his way? Nope. Absolutely none. And this is despite the many reports indicating what he’s been doing with this laptop, or, rather, who he’s been doing it with.
Not to mention the number of claims made against Biden’s justice departments, particularly the FBI. Several whistleblowers have come forward talking about how the Bureau has monitored innocent parents who made online claims, as well as potential targets based on their religion (in this case, Christianity). Of course, FBI director Christopher Wray has brushed off the claims, but we’ve been seeing more and more proof stack up.
So, in spite of so many people thinking that Paul isn’t fit for office, he may just be on to something. His reported plans to press criminal charges against Trump for something that’s not even considered criminal is absolutely heinous.
What’s more, if these charges actually come to light, he’s going to force hard-working police officers to act on said orders, putting the cuffs on Trump and bringing him in on these ridiculous charges. That’s not just a slap to the face of Lady Liberty, but also the police officers themselves. And, honestly, haven’t they been through enough over the past couple of years between what’s happened with their budgets and the fallout from those nightmarish “defund the police” campaigns? Enough is enough already.
To sum up, yes, I do believe the officers that are given the arrest order shouldn’t follow through, based solely on the rules of “not delivering justice.” I think this should be given a much closer look before Bragg issues his charges based upon what Biden, his administration, and justice departments want to do. In doing so, I believe we’ll uncover just what kind of injustice is being done here, and the cuffs can go on someone far more deserving. And if that means Bragg, so be it.
Something has to be done. Because the wings of liberty are likely to wither to the bone if a miscarriage of justice on this level takes place. Call Paul crazy all you want, but what he’s tweeting isn’t nonsense in the least.

Biden’s handlers accused of planning to train, equip and deploy Palestinian terrorists in Judea and Samaria

The Biden administration is either dangerously naive or worse. It is presenting this plan under the pretext of helping to curb terrorism in Judea and Samaria, yet ZOA says this “unconscionable and illegal plan” would aid Palestinian jihadists. Meanwhile, another report has exposed the U.S. State Department’s funding of an anti-Netanyahu Leftist group that is behind the chaotic protests in Israel. What exactly is the motivation of the Biden administration?
A news article by Tablet Magazine stated America’s most recent plan:
Incredibly, the U.S. is now proposing to take advantage of its ally’s political weakness by standing up a potential 5,000-man Palestinian terror army that would ostensibly fight terrorism in the West Bank in place of the IDF.
Washington, D.C.’s latest bout of Mideast pyromania began with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Ramallah at the end of January, right after a Palestinian terrorist shot dead seven Israelis outside a synagogue in Neve Yaakov.
The key words are “ostensibly fight terrorism in the West Bank in place of the IDF,” which puts a different spin on America’s possible intent from that of the ZOA below. But what would make the Biden administration actually think its plan could possibly work to bring Palestinians to “fight terrorism”? Given the administration’s consistent anti-Israel stance, does it really believe that arming, training, and deploying Palestinians could be a trusted strategy to “fight terrorism,” rather than help perpetuate it?
In reality, such a plan would greatly empower the Palestinian “resistance.” History bears out the fact that the Palestinians do now want and never wanted peace. They aim to obliterate Israel from the River to the Sea, as is stated in the founding Charters of all the major Palestinian organizations, and they’re watching closely as America further positions itself as their ally rather than the ally of Israel.
Surely America should know that Israel cannot allow such a plan. The IDF, in fact, beefed up troops in Samaria last month in response to the escalating violence.
“ZOA: Stop Biden/Blinken/Amr Unconscionable Plan to Establish Army of 5,000 Palestinian-Arab Terrorists plus U.S./Foreign Forces,” Zionist Organization of America, March 17, 2023:
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) denounces, in the strongest possible terms, the Biden Administration’s unconscionable, illegal plan to provide commando training in Jordan to 5,000 Palestinian-Arab army of terrorists or future terrorists; and to then equip and deploy this Palestinian-Arab commando army in Judea/Samaria, along with foreign and U.S. forces.
The administration’s horrific, frightening, dangerous plan also requires Israel “to sharply curtail IDF counterterror operations.” U.S. security coordinator Lieutenant General (LTG) Michael Fenzel, who is currently responsible for training Palestinian Authority (PA) police in Judea and Samaria, proposed training the new 5,000-strong commando army, and deploying foreign forces, including U.S. military forces, on the ground.
Thus, under the Biden administration’s plan, Israel would be restricted from defending innocent Israelis from terrorists; and much of Judea/Samaria would become a “safe haven” for terrorists to retreat to and be celebrated after perpetrating murderous terror attacks in Israel, with no consequences.
Moreover, American and other foreign forces on the ground would become sitting ducks, subject to Palestinian-Arab terror attacks. American and foreign soldiers would also become human shields, who block Israel from going after the terrorists, lest foreign forces be caught in the crossfire. Further, the PA will want foreign forces to include Iranians, thereby introducing even more terror into the region…..
Ron DeSantis Hits Donald Trump Where It Hurts the Most
How does Ron DeSantis’ leadership compare to Trump’s?
BY ROBERT SPENCER
Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.
Ron DeSantis has until recently remained silent as Donald Trump has been flailing away at him, but it appears that his studied silence is over. First, there was the sidelong crack in his remarks about Alvin Bragg’s looming banana-republic indictment of Trump: “I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. I just can’t speak to that.” And now Piers Morgan has asked him in an interview what the difference was between himself and Trump. DeSantis’ answer hit Trump at his most vulnerable points.
The Daily Wire reported Tuesday that DeSantis “made the remarks in an interview with Piers Morgan on Fox Nation’s ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’ that is set to air later this week.” When Morgan asked him to explain the differences between himself and Trump, DeSantis replied: “The approach to COVID was different. I would have fired somebody like Fauci. I think he got way too big for his britches, and I think he did a lot of damage.”
Hindsight is 20/20. There is no way to know whether or not DeSantis really would have fired Fauci. There is no doubt, however, that COVID-19 destroyed Trump’s presidency and ruined his chances for what looked at the end of 2019 to be certain reelection. Trump had initially dismissed the seriousness of COVID but backed down after a media firestorm and appeared to be trying to disarm his critics by aggressively pushing Fauci’s COVID agenda, including lockdowns and vaccines.
Even now, Trump has exasperated some of his supporters by refusing to acknowledge that the whole thing was a disaster: the lockdowns were ineffective and the vaccines something even worse than that. But Trump seems constitutionally incapable of admitting a mistake or even of acknowledging that he did what appeared to be the right thing at the time but that in the light of new developments, it doesn’t seem to have been the best decision after all. DeSantis is jabbing at Trump’s weakest point here, as the 2024 Republican front-runner’s primary constituency consists of people who were always skeptical about the vaccines or have come to regret their support for them, while Trump himself has remained steadfast in insisting that these ineffective and dangerous jabs were a tremendous boon.
DeSantis wasn’t finished, either. He proceeded to take aim at Trump’s other chief vulnerability, his apparent inability to hire people who will carry out his agenda, and his recurring tendency to support those who clearly oppose it. His recent support for Ronna Romney McDaniel’s reelection as chair of the Republican National Committee was a case in point, and then there is the long line of former Trump administration officials whom Trump himself has derided as stupid, venal, self-serving, and so on. All this leads inevitably to the question: Then why did you hire them?
DeSantis accordingly stated: “I also think just in terms of my approach to leadership, I get personnel in the government who have the agenda of the people and share our agenda. You bring your own agenda in or you’re gone. We’re just not gonna have that. So, the way we run the government, I think, is no daily drama, focus on the big picture, and put points on the board, and I think that’s something that’s very important.”

As for the daily drama of Trump’s relentless criticism — “Ron DeSanctimonious” and the like — DeSantis said: “I don’t know how to spell the sanctimonious one. I don’t really know what it means, but I kinda like it, it’s long, and it’s got a lot of vowels. We’ll go with that, that’s fine. I mean you can call me whatever you want, just as long as you also call me a winner because that’s what we’ve been able to do in Florida, is put a lot of points on the board and really take this state to the next level.”
He added: “To me, it’s just background noise. It’s not important for me to be fighting with people on social media. It’s not accomplishing anything for the people I represent. So, we really just focus on knocking out victories, day after day, and if I got involved in all the undertow, I would not be able to be an effective governor. So I don’t think it’s something that makes sense for me.” Makes sense.
DeSantis also emphasized that if he runs in 2024, he’ll be running not against Trump, but against Old Joe and his henchmen: “If I were to run, I’m running against Biden, Like we [he and Trump] are competing for the Republican [nomination], potentially, I get that, but ultimately, you know, the guy I’m gonna focus on is Biden because I think he’s failed the country.” There is no doubt whatsoever about that, and we don’t need hindsight to see it. The devastation increases with every passing day.
Arresting Trump America sinks deeper into Banana Republic status.

America’s descent to banana republic status, with the ruling regime having its principal opponent arrested on bogus charges, looks as if it is going to happen this week. The New York City Police Department (NYPD) was busy on Monday setting up steel barriers outside the Manhattan Criminal Court as if it fully expects (and may even be hoping for) patriots to come out in force to protest against the destruction of our free republic and the weaponization of our justice system as a tool of partisan politics. No one seems to be backing away from the brink.
Soros-funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg seems determined to make history by arresting Trump, but House Republicans on Monday were standing athwart history, shouting “Stop!” and demanding that Bragg give them all the documents related to his investigation of Trump. Will they be able to stop the arrest? The republic itself could hang in the balance.
Meanwhile, preparations are proceeding apace. Robert Costa of CBS News on Monday tweeted three videos of “Steel barricades arriving outside Manhattan Criminal Court.” This comes after NBC News reported on Friday that “local, state and federal law enforcement and security agencies are preparing for the possibility” of Trump’s arrest, with the NYPD, the Secret Service, and even the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) all involved.
In Washington, the Capitol Police are gearing up for riots as well. According to Politico: “The Capitol Police are girding for the possibility of protests ahead of the potential indictment of former President Donald Trump, according to two people familiar with the situation. Their security posture will be elevated starting Tuesday morning, the people said, and bicycle rack-type fencing could also be deployed.”
The JTTF’s involvement immediately calls to mind Old Joe Biden’s statement from his infamous red-and-black speech from last Sept. 1: “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
That’s the closest an American president has ever come in the history of the United States to declare that his primary opponent and his supporters were criminals who were outside the bounds of acceptable political discourse, and now the ruling elites seem ready to take the next step, not only of arresting Trump but of behaving as if his supporters were terrorists. After all, Biden, Gestapo chief Merrick Garland, and the FBI have all told us that “white supremacists” constitute the greatest terror threat the nation faces today. The only thing lacking in their scenario is actual white supremacist terrorists.
That’s where Trump’s supporters come in; Leftists are rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of protests against Trump’s arrest that they can weaponize the way they did on Jan. 6, so as to continue their efforts to criminalize political dissent in the United States.
Trying to put the brakes on this effort and save the concept of the loyal opposition in the country formerly known as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave are House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer, and House Administration Committee chairman Bryan Steil. According to a Monday report in the Daily Caller, they’re asking Bragg to “provide all documents and communications involving his investigation into Trump, as well as sit for a transcribed interview.”
In a letter to Bragg, Jordan, Comer, and Steil don’t mince words: “You are reportedly about to engage in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and currently declared candidate for that office. This indictment comes after years of your office searching for a basis—any basis—on which to bring charges, ultimately settling on a novel legal theory untested anywhere in the country and one that federal authorities declined to pursue.”
They charged that Bragg was pursuing a “politically motivated prosecution,” which is certainly true, and point out that “even the Washington Post quoted ‘legal experts’ as calling your actions ‘unusual’ because ‘prosecutors have repeatedly examined the long-established details but decided not to pursue charges.’”
Will Bragg comply with their requests and hand over the relevant documents? The New York City authorities are acting as if they believe that even if he does, nothing is going to stand in the way of their determination to give their rabid Leftist base what it has been slavering for: photos of a handcuffed Trump doing the perp walk, being fingerprinted, maybe even (oh glorious day!) behind bars.
This is not the way the Constitutional republic that the Founding Fathers bequeathed to us was ever supposed to work. The Democrats, having spent decades hollowing out our Constitutional protections, are now planning on doing a victory dance upon their empty shell and casting any people who dare to protest in their next Reichstag Fire production, as we all descend merrily on our way to becoming a one-party state. Can the House Republicans stop them? We can hope.
