Starting with the FBI’s outrageous politically manufactured raid on former President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida and accelerating exponentially since he was indicted on federal charges resulting from the retention of records at Mar-a-Lago, I have heard a growing chorus of this refrain from tens of highly experienced Republicans and conservatives:
“While I like DeSantis, we must vote for Trump to not only save our nation but send a message to these corrupt, power-hungry elites.”
While the liberal mainstream media continues to profess its “shock” that former President Trump retains a massive – 30 points or higher – lead over DeSantis in polls taken after the “Kangaroo Court” indictment, I am not. To paraphrase the line from a horror movie, “If what these far-left operatives within our own government are trying to do to the leading opposition candidate to Biden does not make your skin crawl, it’s on too tight.”
Tens of millions of Americans know a totalitarian political hit job when they see it. Not only does it frighten them, but it is galvanizing them into action.
Millions of Americans know this indictment was handed down on the exact same day it was revealed by Fox News that President Joe Biden allegedly received $5 million for involvement in a bribery scheme.
Whoops. Time for the Biden-supporting federal government to instantly roll out a game of “Three-Card-Monte” to take the eyes of the media and the public off that Biden family corruption report.
Not only are tens of millions of Americans on to that, but they also understand that since he first rode down the escalator at Trump Tower with his wife Melania by his side in June of 2015 to announce his campaign for President, Donald J. Trump has had a bullseye on his back put there by the cowardly and corrupt entrenched elites from both political Parties; the mainstream media; the Deep State; envious rival CEOs; war-thirsty neo-cons; and life-failing "Never-Trumpers."
Why? Because they could not control him, and he would get in the way of them grifting the American taxpayers out of collectively hundreds of billions of dollars.
The absolute truth is that Trump’s election in 2016 was the single most outstanding achievement in the political history of our nation.
Basically, on his own, against all odds, against massive corruption, against the entrenched elites, against the non-stop smears and ridicule from the mainstream media, against the Deep State working hand-in-hand with his political opponent, Donald J. Trump shocked the world by winning the presidency in 2016.
The entrenched elites were right to fear him in 2016. Now, in 2023, they are terrified of him, so they seek to imprison him.
Why?
Because now, Trump has four highly successful years as President under his belt. And because of that experience, he knows precisely which centers of corruption to attack and eliminate once he is reelected in 2024.
The 4th of July will soon be upon us. It is our most sacred holiday, which the far-left is continually seeking to cancel. A year ago, at this time, I put out a book titled: The 56 – Liberty Lessons from those who risked all to sign The Declaration of Independence.
The only reason I authored that book was to warn of the left’s growing efforts to cancel the 4th while offering up a blueprint on how to stop them.
One of the most valuable lessons I relayed was that out of the 56 men who courageously signed the Declaration, one-third were born into great wealth with others obtaining wealth via hard work. What set those men apart was the fact that they knew that the vast majority of their wealthy counterparts in the Colonies were siding with the tyrannical British Crown.
Why? Because they did not want to rock the boat. They did not want to risk their privilege, power, and money. They would rather live under the boot of tyranny than risk all to fight for what was right and for liberty.
In a number of real ways, Donald J. Trump is today’s version of one of those 56 Signers to the Declaration. In 2015, he had billions of dollars; a life of luxury, and the guarantee that his life of privilege and power would continue for both him and his family.
But then, he paused to look at an America being destroyed from within by the dictates of the far left and the corrupt elites and decided he had to step up and speak out.
He then asked himself two of the most critical questions in humanity's centuries-long quest for freedom and personal security.
“If not me, who? If not now, when?”
Trump also knew what our Founding Fathers preached across the Colonies. That being: “Unless or until they imprison us or unless or until they take our lives, they can’t take our voices. They cannot silence us.”
Well, as you read this, elements of the far left and protectors of the Biden administration are trying to imprison the leading opposition candidate to Biden and the corrupt elites.
In the most Un-American of ways, they are hysterically trying to silence the voice of Donald J. Trump.
For that reason and many more, even supporters of DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Tim Scott are rallying behind the former President in his hour of need.
For they realize the most horrifying truth of all: If they can get and silence former President Trump, they can get and silence every single one of us.
