Buckle Up: Tough Times Are Coming

The American Stasi’s: AKA the FBI’s, raid on Mar-a-Lago isn’t the Democrats’ last attempt to foreclose on Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential run…

The Mar-a-Lago raid was merely a small offensive in a much larger ongoing war. Even if the Establishment finds a way of barring Trump from running in 2024, the door then opens for DeSantis. You can bet that the Establishment loathes DeSantis just as much as it does Trump. Perhaps even more so in that DeSantis’s success in Florida starkly contrasts against the Democrats’ failures in blue states and across Biden’s America. Democrats and their allies would simply unleash their wrath on the governor.

This war was started by the Establishment & ramped up when Trump arrived on the political scene in late 2015. Trump’s nascent America First movement was quite correctly, perceived by the Establishment as what’s fashionably termed an existential threat. It’s been a hot cold war ever since, and it promises to grow hotter and nastier in the coming days ahead.

Democrats and their allies are now in their desperate hour. Theirs isn’t an ascendant movement, but a faltering one as evidenced by their resorts to strong-arm tactics, illegality, and manipulative conniving; all are indications.  Ascendant movements enjoy broadening popular support. Majorities form around them and create mandates. Democrats enjoy no such backing.

With each passing day, Biden’s and the Democrats’ failures become more apparent and painful to average Americans. The economy is shaky, inflation and energy costs will resume rising. Crime spikes in big cities. Woke and sexual indoctrination of school kids is meeting with growing backlashes. Democrats’ police state gambits repel people who’d otherwise usually take a pass on politics. Their sheer incompetence, serial failures, and tyrannical overreach are undercutting their authority. So Democrats and the Establishment now grow afraid and anxious.

Looming ahead of us is the fall of the Establishment’s thousand-year Reich. Desperation will drive Establishment factions to more and perhaps, even greater acts of illegal measures and shows of force — or worse. After all, according to them the ends justify the means.

Andy Ngo reports that the deceptively named “Inflation Reduction Act” authorizes 87,000 IRS hires, who will carry guns and “use deadly force, if necessary.” The IRS is being transformed into an armed intimidation racket.

An IRS armed to the teeth is yet another sign that the establishment is stumbling. The Biden Regime has spent an estimate $5–6 trillion Dollars in only less than two years. There appears no end to the profligacy — which primarily benefits the Establishment and their allied factions. This militant IRS will be tasked with squeezing every penny it can out of all Americans, not just the rich. Guns at the ready underscore the point.

If the 2024 elections aren’t sufficiently rigged, and Trump wins, he’ll make his four years in office about slamming shut the gates of hell on liberty’s foes.  If the elections are sufficiently rigged, and Trump loses, then we’ll sail into uncharted waters. Heaven help us.

But let’s hope that Trump wins — or DeSantis if Trump is unable. Regardless, shutting those gates will be a prodigious task, and won’t happen quickly, and will be fiercely opposed by the Establishment, which includes quisling GOP elements. Don’t expect Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, and John Thune to take to the ramparts to fight for an historic overhaul of the national government and a thorough re-federalization.

Trump or DeSantis or whoever else may arise embodies the establishment’s greater nemesis: We The People. A growing majority; whites, Hispanics, Asians, and, hopefully more blacks — want their country back. We working- and middle-class Americans are the backbone of the nation.

We, who reject great resets, build back betters, and elites, whose conceits drive them to act as our overlords. Whether it was the Russia Collusion Hoax, the Ukraine Hoax, the Great Mar-a-Lago Panty Raid, or the daily smearing that Trump endured as president — all target us. Trump hate is hate for the vast middle. We cling to our guns and bibles — Obama.  We’re Deplorables — Hillary. We’re white supremacists — including any black or Hispanic who dares leave the Democrat plantation — declared reflexively by just about every progressive.

The war being waged now is for all the marbles. Harvard law degrees, M.D.s, Ph.D.s, and Wharton MBAs weren’t obtained by progressives to allow common folk to have any say in the nation’s welfare and future. Seats on corporate boards entitle.  Tech firms, amalgamated, are All-Powerful Oz. The Constitution? That’s now just window-dressing. Federalism? What’s that? The Bill of Rights? To be defined by tenured leftist academics. In fact, the Elites in their crimped minds, assume the right to dictate all aspects of our lives — and we’d damn well better like it.

If we don’t, slap-downs will follow. We’re deemed deniers and slandered as insurrectionists and tarred as racists. We’re worker bees here to tend the hive. Shut up and take what comes our way and smile. If not, the elite will impose penalties. Communist China’s social credit system is the hoped-for import: a creepy, comprehensive, technology-driven system of oppression. Progressives love it…as many perversely love Mao, Lenin, and Stalin. The imperative is defeating these lovers of tyranny before they can fully weaponize the technology to crush us.

A now mostly obscure early 20th-century critic of big government, Albert Jay Nock, made this simple but powerful observation: “In proportion as you give the state power to do things for you, you give it power to do things to you.”

After a hundred-plus years of progressivism and its absorption of socialist, fascist, and communist elements, we face a hostile government doing far more to us than for us. It’s a hydra-headed beast that must be slain before it devours us.

What Americans are learning — and will painfully learn as the days unfold — is that big government isn’t, finally, compassionate, fair, or equitable; and,  it cannot be redeemed. Instead, it must be reduced and dramatically so. It cannot just be restrained. Doing so only ensures a future generation of power-hungry cutthroats will again seek to impose their will on the rest of us.

Big government has a voracious appetite; eating up a nation’s prosperity, trampling rights to achieve misbegotten ends, and intruding into every corner of people’s lives, reducing people to forms of servitude. And always, regardless the ruse, regardless the reflexive “for the people” pap, the Elites always manage to bend big government to serve their interests. Today, corruption isn’t just rife in Washington, but throughout most major national institutions. In corporations, nonprofits, schools, media, unions, health care — corruption permeates the society on a scale unmatched.

Prepare for the days ahead. Arm yourselves with knowledge and arguments. Be apostles of liberty and spread the word to all who listen. Speak truth to power — smartly and civilly, but speak up. Join with like-minded Americans in your communities to build bulwarks against the coming assaults. Stand unflinchingly shoulder-to-shoulder with Trump, DeSantis, and other patriots to bring about the demise of this tyranny on our shores. ✪
