Abuse of the citizenry: Is it ending or expanding?

The year 1865 marked the end of slavery. It was an inflection point in history. Until 1800, institutional slavery had always been the norm, unquestioned for thousands of years. Male and female, free and slave, these were almost universally accepted as being the major bifurcations of people. After the Civil War, tyrants often interrupted the decline of slavery, but 1865 marked the inflection point, the inevitability of its demise.

The Security State is just getting started. If they had their wish, MAGAts would already be on the trains to the re-education camps. With future starvation possible, people will turn to sheeple, enabling the Security State to impose more draconian measures against its detractors.

The purpose is to bring the citizenary to a point where they can be starved at will. After that any control is superfluous.

Prudent storage of goods is advisable, but let's face it, if they really get what they want, we are through. Unless you are young and fit enough to build your own shelter and live off the land...

I am increasingly annoyed by Sean Hannity’s defense of “rank and file” FBI agents. Does Hannity think leftist tyrant FBI managers hire conservative field agents?

I beg to disagree. Real Americans were forged in the taming of a wild land, many battles for freedom and survival and two world wars. We beat them all, we can beat a crooked FBI Gestapo and 87,000 brownshirts hired by a corrupt government to steal our money. Bring it on, Brandon, you are not long for our world. FJB and the cow he rode in on.

Abuse of the proles is always expanding...until they revolt. And that revolution has been stalled by the politico response to J6, locking up citizens without bail for "insurrection", and now the raid on Mar-a-Lago, with "real conservatives" declaring it's a "trap" advising those who might take any responsive action to "Keep your powder dry." There are a lot of "useful idiot Republicans" allied with "commie Dems" to make this happen...it's called the UNIPARTY. And so many honesty expect the GOPe to rescue them from this hell the "moderates" have created for themselves.

The British turned against slavery during the Napoleonic Wars. You can see this in the series Master and Commander. I would like to say it was us, but it wasn't. The big turning point was the British. The British were the first. Wilberforce, an evangelical bishop, was hugely important. Speaking as an Irishwoman, it was the British, it was the British. It was not us. Also see Lord Mansfield (chancellor) who responded to the case of an American visiting Britain whose slave ran away in the UK, to which the Chancellor said that having touched down in the UK the slave was now a free man. The US (including my forebear who fought and died for the Union) was a big help, but give the British credit.

There are many positive signs of a Great Awakening stirring in the American people. Among the unintended consequences of the lockdowns for our overlords were parents seeing the garbage being foisted upon their children. This led them to find out about their school boards and the whole rotten mess of public education was exposed. Yet it was the citizen that was shut down and arrested. As the whole narrative of the lockdowns and covid restrictions began to unravel, and the non-vaccine jab hysteria gave way to the reality behind the lies; Americans that still valued their God given freedoms and liberties have been answering the call to find political alternatives to the Uniparty. This 2022 midterm is akin to 1856 when the Republicans took over the Whigs. President Trump has been building the MAGA Party since announcing his run for the presidency. His primary candidates are running the table. The more the Deep State target and persecute him, they make bigger fools of themselves and his power and popularity grows. Donald Trump is a honest man who has very successfully conducted his life's business, and being President of the United States, among the most corrupt and criminal people alive in history. They are intent on destroying him and his family, as well as his and our country. He is perusing his lawsuit against them. He is currently calm and steadfast. As MAGA supporters we need to take our lead from President Trump. These are precarious and dangerous times. Large public gatherings of MAGA people are targets for Antifa and FIB agitators, giving fodder for CNN and MSNBC. Our strongest and truest weapons are the same as our revolutionary fathers and mothers; prayer and faith in God. Our country was founded on the freedoms and liberties given to us by God, so we can only restore them through God. We can support President Trump's efforts best by reading and meditating upon Holy Scripture and prayer. God will guide us in our actions at the right time. Until then, let us follow President Trump's current calm and steadfastness. MAGA

This has turned into somewhat of an anti-Hannity thread, and rightly so. I love his politics but his endless support of the '4th branch' is disappointing. Is he worried about a raid?

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" interviewed disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok to reassure Americans that everything is fine within the federal agency after they raided former President Donald Trump's home in Florida. Host Joe Scarborough downplayed Strzok having strong personal biases against Donald Trump while working on Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation. Strzok was later fired from the investigation for the anti-Trump bias. "So, despite that fact that put that out there the FBI makes mistakes. The church makes mistakes. People make mistakes.

NBC News's Capitol Hill correspondent Ali Vitali has a new book out, "Electable: Why America Hasn't Put a Woman in the White House...Yet." In it, she says that Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts claimed that many people told her during the 2020 presidential primary campaign that they would have voted for her except for her lack of a penis. Possibly even more hilariously, Warren argued that she could have beaten then-President Donald Trump in the general election. Vitali wrote: We’d talked about the dynamics of Iowa, her competitors, and the pressure she put on herself not “to screw this up.”

Media coverage of the Mar-a-Lago raid has not been entirely illuminating, melding together as it does without distinction the four components of the search warrant process. The four components are: 1. Petition 2. Affidavit 3. Warrant 4. Return The petition is the Department of Justice’s application asking that the court issue a search warrant. In the petition, the DOJ (a) argues to the court that the affidavit shows there is probable cause to believe that evidence of criminal activity can be found on the target premises and (b) specifies the nature of that evidence (documents, firearms, automotive parts, etc. whatever). The affidavit is a sworn statement attached to the petition attesting to the essential fact

It is helpful to think of political developments as moves on the chessboard made to advance an objective. In chess, the objective is to win the game, chess being zero-sum. Politics is like that, too, though participants often claim it's not, that they're acting for the greater good, principles at the foundation of democracy, motherhood and apple pie and all that — which is true in some cases but never if Democrats are in the game. This brings me to Attorney General Garland's claim that the Mar-a-Lago home invasion wasn't a raid at all.

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 as 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.

Former President Trump’s son Eric Trump reveals key details on the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago. Trump told the Daily Mail that the FBI refused to to hand over the search warrant for their raid on the Florida residence. He also recalled about 30 FBI agents kicking his attorney off the property. “So they showed it to her from about 10 feet away. They would not give her a copy of the search warrant,” Trump said. “There’s 30 agents there… They told our lawyer … you have to leave the property right now. Turn off all security cameras,” Trump said. He said that the former president’s attorney Christina Bobb was forced to stand

A senior Arab official has informed me that the ceasefire was confirmed by the Islamic Jihad after a 45-minute phone call between a senior Egyptian intelligence officer and his Iranian counterpart. “The Iranian side wanted the truce to happen as fast as possible” What the source claims does not seem to contradict what has happened on the ground in Gaza.

One day after the FBI raided former President Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago, agents confronted U.S. Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) and seized his cell phone while the congressman was at an airport with his family. Three FBI agents approached Perry, handed over a warrant for his cell phone, and then seized the mobile device — apparently without previously trying to contact his attorney. In a statement, Perry slammed the seizure and the Biden administration's politicization of the Justice Department. "This morning, while traveling with my family, 3 FBI agents visited me and seized my cell phone,"

Merrick Garland should have recused himself from anything pertaining to former President Donald Trump. Period, full stop. Think about it. President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland for the United States Supreme Court in 2016. With the presidential election looming that coming November, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell halted the nomination and refused to allow it to even go to the Judiciary Committee, let alone to the floor of the Senate for a confirmation vote. This immediately made Garland a major issue in the 2016 presidential campaign.

For liberal America, it’s time to pop open the champagne bottles. Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago this evening. Spencer wrote up the “siege” that’s taken place in Florida. FBI agents arrived unannounced and broke into the safe on the property. It was reportedly empty. The former president was not in the state; he’s in Trump Tower now. That’s another location that could be targeted within the coming days since it’s clear that the FBI has gone off the rails to prevent a duly elected president from running for office again.
Gov. Abbott’s idea to bus illegal migrants

Back in April, Texas's Republican governor, Greg Abbott, pledged to bus migrants who had entered Texas illegally to Washington, D.C. on a voluntary basis. It was laughed at in the press and among Democrats as a "publicity stunt" at the time. But the governor was dead serious, and kept that promise. Leadership is contagious, and Abbott was soon joined by Arizona's Gov. Douglas Ducey. For months, the states of Texas and Arizona have been sending charter buses of illegal border crossers being let in by Joe Biden's open borders policy to Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, near the Capitol building and now to New York City, led by Mayor Eric Adams,
