When I look at the last four years and how our country seemed to get more divided than any time since the Civil War, it's easy to conclude that President Trump is the reason it occurred. From the moment he declared war on the corruption in D.C., he became a target of all those entrenched power brokers who have been able to hide their venal activities from an unsuspecting public. Trump became the loudest whistleblower in history when he talked about draining the swamp that had been operating like an organized crime family for generations. In order for a Mafia-like mob to operate effectively

These recent years certainly been eye-opening. We've known there is corruption: wherever human beings are around easy access to money and they're all looking to cover their read-ends and each other's, it's pervasive.
What has become clear is that there is a massive conveyor belt of influence and collusion between all branches of government perpetuated by an endless and entrenched cadre of graduates of elite institutions, whose parents were students and grandparents were or other relatives and the law schools and the huge DC-NYC corridor law firms from which politicians have selected those filling up the Justice Department (including the FBI, all the courts). (But oh how they howled when wealthy parents who weren't legacy parents were paying out their own money to get their kids in!)
They all know each other and protect each other and who knows what else with each other. There's nothing noble amongst them, not a scintilla of patriotism or fidelity to the Law and the Constitution.
It's money + power=influence and domination.
Forget about political ideology. At the root of it all, they are the same despicable, venal, greedy, corrupt egotists. And they truly do not give a damn about the "little people," the "working man," the People, the Constitution, our Republic.
It's a corrupt, deeply entrenched oligarchy, and that uncouth Trump was not to dislodge it.
I feel literally nauseated.

The commies are far from confident. Their awkward con is off schedule and running into overtime. They had to pause the second shampeachment so they could get Obiden's cabinet approved. This two week hiatus is allowing examples of real incitement by Dems to be recirculated. We have four full days until the sham hits the stage at Kabuki Theater. Since there are problems with Leaky Leahy presiding as well as being a juror, perhaps we could get the Sham Wow! guy to take the gig.
Meanwhile, the Lion recoups and plans in Mar-A-Largo. I wonder what strategies and tactics are being discussed on the back-nine greens?

Trump brought out the fake republicans, corrupt agencies, elections courts, JD, media, social media, Hollywood, China, Iran, ..Trump didn’t take Big $$ so he owed no one . He is & was probably the most honest person in DC. Elections was all the republicans had , they are now corrupted . The Mueller investigation , 4 years of harassment & the impeachment over a phone call should have been a dire warning to republicans that Dems were capable of anything to get rid of Trump. When you lose trust in your government, media , government agencies & courts its very concerning & sad. No man could stand 4 years of what Trump went through. Biden & his PS can’t handle one negative question.

So now what do we do about it? Every person involved regardless how deep understands that they must fight anyone who dares even discuss the fact that the powers that be have stolen a presidential election. It all hinges on keeping that subject taboo. They know the evidence is there and that it is damning. Their response? It never happened and only a nut job would give it any credence. They own every media vehicle in this country with the exception of a few conservative outlets and they are working on shutting them down. They have full control of the military and many law enforcement agencies. Universities and high schools are censoring opposing views. Corporations are eager to join in to tamp down any truth that finds its way into the public square. The ever vigilant cancel culture is chopping at the bit to go after anyone who dares speak out or even question the anomalies we have seen with our own eyes. Yes, they fear the truth being told but at the same time know they have every base covered. With the sheer numbers and radical nature of the EO’s Daft King Biden has been signing, it appears they are proceeding with full steam ahead. Surprised? They have worked for this day for decades and they are not going to let up. When evil men and women gain power they do three things, 1) waste no time enacting their agenda, 2) determine to never relinquish power, and 3) crush any resistance.
American voters have been stripped of their consent to be governed by the individuals of their choice and are now subject to whatever choice the Dark State deems acceptable. Through intimidation by every means possible we are being cowed by a steamrolling beast intent upon its survival and the destruction of any opposition. Should President Trump speak out against this, he will be labeled as an someone who is inciting violence. They will label him a domestic terrorist and do everything in their power to arrest him. Far fetched? Who would stop them? As a private citizen he is even more vulnerable. God help us. Our government is not only lawless and corrupt. It is vindictive and ruthless and those running it want to make an example out of him. To all of you who believe I have lost it, I ask, who would stand with him knowing the reach and power of the United States government? There is one solution and that is divine intervention which I believe is coming. The timing, however, is in God’s hands and according to His will. Pray, take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

See why they want no part of term limits ? You can't even vote them out at this point with crooked elections.
Thank goodness for groups like Project Veritas and Judicial Watch.

Read a post here fairly recently, and I do not have it verbatim, but close enough, "Billy [first thought Clinton? then realized he meant Billy Graham] said if there is no chastisement coming to this country, then God owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology", and I mean the powers-that-be. Too many can be bought and are bought.

We knew we needed a President like Donald J Trump. We had him and every evil force in the world was against him, except for good, hard-working American People. We are still here, praying, speaking out and uncovering as much hypocrisy as we can.
But, when the integrity of our election process has been stolen, compromised or whatever term you want to use, and every media outlet (save maybe one or two people with courage) spews lies, what recourse do we now have? With IPOTUS, not much!

This identifies the problem but the question is, how can this be corrected? Voting has been nullified, federal law enforcement is part of the swamp and the swamp is left to police itself. I can only pray for divine intervention to save our country.

They have manufactured a smoke screen to hide their crimes. By creating false thought crimes everybody has become a criminal so that people will support one class of criminals to offset the worse class of criminals The money grifters stand against the evil systemic racist class who want nothing better than to oppress the disadvantaged and incinerate planet earth from their evil liar on planet Mongo.

Insightful article. The damage wrought upon our public institutions in the last four years is incalculable, if not fatal. The judiciary has been compromised to the point of debility; therefore, so has our Constitution. Reagan was the first act Trump the second; somewhere, we must find the leader for our third, ultimately triumphant, act.
Now I know how Churchill felt in 1940, as France fell, and Britain awaited the near-inevitable Nazi invasion. Alone.

#4 Inspiring post. The French solved their problem and neutered their Royalty using drastic and barbaric means. Good Americans need a groundswell “Revolution” without the guillotine and Madame LaFarge.
In the past, the American way was decided at the polls, which has been systemically compromised. Now we need leaders and a national movement to neuter our own self appointed “Royalty”.
God’s Will, yes, however, “pray for potatoes, but grab a hoe”

From reply #4,
“ It never happened and only a nut job would give it any credence.”
That is exactly how they shut us up about 0bama’s birth certificate, even after they offered up one which was proven to be fraudulent within 5 minutes of being made public.
We were cowed into dropping the subject back then, but we can’t let them do that to us this time. Our very lives hang in the balance.

Many historians say it took three weeks for the Babylonians to realize that Darius the Mede was their new ruler. They were smarter back then and reality grasping was instant. We, OTOH are so utterly stupid and bereft of reality that it will take us about eighteen months. Even the defected Soviet KGB general said Americans, er, I mean Dominions won't realize they have been overtaken until just before the bullet enters their head. (For Rio Lindans, it's too late then). We are so there. You wanna talk with minimum interception? Get your ham license while you can.

I had a call from Devin Nunes last night, trolling for money. If I recall correctly, he just reentered the political arena.
Barely back in office and already looking for money. I hung up.

The Founding Fathers dreaded this happening, but in their God-guided wisdom, they provided the means in the Constitution for an oppressed citizenry to retake control of the government. It's called a Convention of the States, where people from each state get together and formulate amendments to confront such government corruption. It is done completely outside of the Congress's purveyance and jurisdiction. The public needs to be educated on this. Mark Levin has written extensively about it.

I believe that President Trump was chosen to lead our country at a critical time... just think what WE would be now had crooked hillary won... WE learned about the DC swamp with each passing year of the Trump administration as they tormented he and his family...WE learned about fake media... WE learned about china's tentacles into K street in DC and all the politicians who are compromised...even hollyweird can't make a movie without input from china telling them what's acceptable...NOW... it's time to cry five minutes... AND... then what are WE gonna do about it!!

The most thoughtful summary of the last five years. Remember, this didn't start on Jan 20, 2017. It started once THEY realized that Trump was not in this on a lark. Remember all of the free publicity that the MSM gave him when he was running against the other candidates? Remember what fun the MSM had rubbing Trump in the face of the establishment RINOs, thinking that the sure path to Hitlary becoming president was to let this tireless self-promoter make the primaries a sh**show? Remember the looks on their faces in the early hours after the election?
Former POTUS Trump was fighting the greatest beast ever conceived of - the United States Military-Industrial-Industrial-Technological Industry. Had former POTUS Trump been reelected, I am certain he would not have lived to finish his term.

Thanks for posting. I find it interesting that the Uniparty is following the steps that the Five Mafia Families of New York did. They began by engaging in fierce competition with each other and many lives and opportunities were wasted. They finally got together and decided that their complete rule would be ensured if they settled their differences and agreed upon the same plan of action, no more competition, no more infighting and everybody shares in the spoils. The Washington Swamp to a "T."

All of Washington is corrupt along with agencies of law (FBI) and spying (CIA) the Supreme Court is about to become some whimsical body of silliness with Roberts in charge. The US government is DOA and there nothing we can do except make them all stay inside their fence and barricades and out of Red States. Don't let them drift off the reservation for fear of their lives.
I don't think the real President should attend the sham trial in the Senate just send his legal team. I believe the outcome is already predetermined Trump cannot win this the cards are stacked against him. Democrats and Republicans want to shame Trump in public trial one more time they might even want to arrest him on the spot as a political prisoner. Trump shouldn't go to Washington they all want his blood at this point. Thumb your nose at their stupid antics and go play golf then hear it on the news.

American dreamers escaped Mad King George III, and have settled for Mad King Joe in only a couple hundred years. What happened to hearts yearning to be free? Money happened; specifically other people's money. You just cannot serve both God and money. This king chose money.

The scales are falling...the cognitive dissonance beginning to dissolve. It's about time. Now, when will the "woke" American public do something about it? Is anyone going to recall the Republicans in the state legislatures of those six "controversial" states where fraud was evident to task, and nothing was done? Uh, probably not. But let's all pray...

I've been saying this for years... The Federal Government is a Criminal Organization. There are two standards of Justice, as we've seen recently with anything Clinton-crime, along with the Russia-Gate evil, and in both cases the perps never get so much as a slap on the wrist. Compare that with clods sitting in Federal prison for relatively minor charges doing 5 to 10. My conclusion is that we need more than ever for the States to convene a Constitutional Convention, and I pray that my State of Texas leads the way!

#23, that was helpful exactly "How?".
Nunes is one of about 5% of actual good men trying to fight from within the belly of this corrupt morass, and they must have funding to stay afloat. I pick and choose and NEVER give to the "Senate Campaign Fund" or the "House Campaign Fund" --- not EVER. But I do and will give to individual politicians who I trust, which is a VERY small number of people now.
I worked very hard to get a Congressman elected in the 90s, and he was a great guy, really on our side. My wife and I spent months working every weekend and many nights on phone banks, walking door to door delivering literature, and more. I got to know him pretty well personally. He was very competent and rapidly started working as an assistant to the House leadership in his first term, they recognized a skilled person. He got so involved with doing a really good, conscientious job as a Congressman that he (as a newbie) didn't spend very much time on raising money the whole first year. And at the end of two years, the hate from the KC Red Star and other leftist media, combined with his lack of massive spending capacity because of inadequate fundraising spelled his doom against a very well funded Dem who had spent a lot of time lining up a lot of money. Even the good guys need to do a LOT of fundraising if they want to stay in office. Failing to recognize this is just another way to fail, for a politician and for his "supporters" who won't support him with $$$$. Look up Congressman Vince Snowbarger, a really good one term Congressman.

If the Democrats were smart (*sigh of relief*) they would not try to prevent Trump from running again. By doing so, they will actually free him to act as Kingmaker-in-Chief, rather than becoming an enabler of the Never-Trumpers to continue to destroy the Republicans.

I heard a prophecy in 2019 that 2020 would be a year of 20/20 vision and you would see clearly. We believe this is that. And now the year 2021 we await for the outcome of the fervent prayers of the righteous millions of voters for President Trump, It ain't over until it's over and it's not over...stand and see the salvation of the Lord.

While spending some time on the Big Island continues to separate my wife and I from the utter nausea of American politics, we feel more determined than ever once we get home to show leftism the door. Giving up? Not a chance. Never has been a thought.
The uniparty and the globalists remain in full frontal defense of their election fraud operation. We need to keep the heat on...strongly. Lindell knows something. Racketeering? You betchya. Meanwhile, President Trump must maintain high-level security for himself and his family. The political assassination of Trump is only temporary before it becomes more serious. May God, our Almighty Savior, continue to protect him, Melania, and the Trump family.

This is the heart of the matter. They are a giant criminal syndicate - The Uniparty. They have two wings, the Rs and the Ds. And both are totally corrupt, and almost all of the Ds are traitors, along with many of the Rs, too.
The are terrified that they will be arrested and put in prison, or in the cases of some of the worst of the traitors, executed.
Trump has exposed them. Never let them hide again.
