AOC — America’s own Communist in Congress — screams that Trump will throw her in jail if he wins the “election.” Robert de Niro and other Hollywood sociopaths are saying the same thing.
Let me get this straight …
The people who are jailing their opposition, stifling dissent, wrecking the military, inflating the currency to buy votes, setting real criminals loose, rigging elections, weaponizing courts, opening up the American borders to anyone and everyone, trying to outlaw guns, sexually mutilate minors, and poison people through forced medical experimentation are calling Trump a dictator?

[Order Daniel Greenfield’s new book, Domestic Enemies: HERE.]
Americans expected Osama bin Laden to be found in a cave in Afghanistan. In reality, he was living comfortably in a military town in Pakistan under the protection of local authorities. Similarly, Israeli hostages, including the four who were last rescued, have come home telling stories of being kept captive in ‘civilian’ households.
In both cases we fundamentally misunderstood what Islamic terrorism is. It’s not a “fringe group of extremists”, as politicians and the media describe it, but an ethnic and religious movement. The religious values of Islamic terrorists are universally shared by the vast majority of Muslims, while the ethnic ones ground Islamic warfare in the interests of specific clans and families.
Hamas is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood and has a widespread base of support across the Muslim world which is dotted with branches of the Brotherhood, but its ethnic power base is also grounded in the key clans and families that control Gaza. That is why Hamas still retains the support of the majority of the Muslim colonists currently occupying Gaza. It’s also why those same ‘civilians’ held Israeli hostages prisoner and could be trusted not to inform on them.
The latest Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research poll shows that 71% of Gazans support the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 and 56% expect Hamas to win the war. 62% in Gaza are happy with the performance of Hamas during the war and 59% want Hamas to stay in power.
That’s because they are Hamas and the terror group is also them.
The ‘Palestinian’ myth is that the Muslim colonists occupying parts of Israel are the ‘indigenous’ people. The reality is that they were Arab settlers who arrived with and after the Islamic conquest of Israel. Some, like the notorious Husayini clan, which produced Hitler’s Mufti, were relatively recent arrivals. The most powerful and wealthiest of these large families took control of urban areas, as the Husayinis tried to do in Jerusalem, and became a vital part of the Ottoman feudal order serving as mayors and muftis. When the Ottomans were defeated, the clans fought to reclaim their power with movements like the Muslim Brotherhood also known as Hamas.
Hamas is an ideological Islamist movement, but its control over Gaza depends on these large families. That’s why the idea that most people have that Hamas is a fanatical movement that exists apart from ordinary people and can be fought and defeated apart from them is wrong.
That’s also why so few of the hostages have been rescued. Like the last four, the hostages were largely dispersed among ‘civilian’ clan families across neighborhoods controlled by them. These families are formally civilian households, but many of their members are affiliated with Hamas. Rather than being an army whose members belong foremost to Hamas, they are more like the mafia and belong foremost to their extended clan, and choose to lend their support to Hamas.
It’s not just that Hamas uses human shields, which it certainly does, it’s that its infrastructure depends on clans whose adults provide fighters and whose women and children act as human shields for the greater glory of the clan and for Islam. The same clans that will kill teenage girls for violating family honor will also serve up even younger children as human shields for honor.
There is no way for Israel to rescue its hostages without going into dense neighborhoods under the control of the clans to get them out. And that will lead to firefights and ‘Black Hawk Down’ moments. Clan members, who never identify themselves as such, will cry that they were massacred. And foreign leaders and the media will condemn the deaths of ‘civilians’.
Defeating Hamas without civilian casualties is impossible because the Islamic terrorist group not only operates among civilians, but is rooted in the society of Gaza. The clans that run Gaza, that provide the manpower that controls UNRWA institutions, and that are the mainstays of Hamas are also the large families that dominate the businesses, cultural and religious life in Gaza.
There’s no meaningful distinction between civilians and Hamas. Some clans reject Hamas authority and Israel has tried to solicit some of them to run Gaza. For now with few results. The United States strategy in Afghanistan and Iraq had similarly depended on swaying certain clans, elders and warlords into abandoning Al Qaeda or the Taliban with very temporary success.
Eventually the Taliban or Al Qaeda, rebranded as ISIS, returned. And some of the same men we had armed and trained, turned their guns on us. That is an almost inevitable outcome in Counterinsurgency or COIN. When bringing democracy to the Muslim world fails, Westerners begin competing with Jihadists for the support of the clans only to be stabbed in the back.
The Jihadists have the Koran on their side. To Muslims, their terrorism will always be more righteous than our fumbling efforts to avoid civilian casualties and collateral damage. Appealing to moderates or promising a better life will not win their support. On the contrary, it only infuriates the Imams in their mosques and the influential clan leaders into opposing us.
Instead we must reckon with the reality that there are few civilians in Gaza or in the Muslim world. And those who legitimately are civilians should be measured by their deeds, not their clothing. In a culture where terrorists in the field don’t wear uniforms, where large families have sizable stocks of weapons and children are taught to kill and die, the externals don’t matter.
There are no civilians in Gaza. The vast majority of the population supports Hamas or some Islamic terrorist movement. Only a tiny minority opposes Islamic terrorism and wants peace.
The distinction is not between soldiers, terrorists and civilians, but enemies and non-combatants. Israel and Western nations should stop thinking about civilians, a concept that does not apply in a battlespace where terrorists wear street clothes and entire neighborhoods are controlled by clans that hide hostages in plain sight, and think about enemies and neutrals.
An enemy is anyone, regardless of clothing or sex, who is aligned with Islamic terrorists.
Every poll continues to show that the vast majority of those in Gaza are aligned with the enemy. And if that were not the case, the war would have long since ended once locals informed the authorities of where the hostages are and where the remaining Hamas terrorists are set up.
Israel is not just at war with an organization, but with an enemy culture. As is most of the world whether it chooses to admit it or not. The war is not defined by what they wear, but what they think. As long as human shields, female suicide bombers and child soldiers abound, the war cannot be fought by treating civilians as noncombatants while hunting elusive terrorists.
The only way to defeat an enemy is to fight him as he is, not as we would like him to be.
It would be a far cleaner and neater war if Islamic terrorists fought like conventional armies. They do not. And it is time to fight them on their own terms instead.
Hamas can’t be defeated by waiting until its terrorists take off their civilian clothes and put on uniforms. Hamas are the civilians. They are the ones holding the hostages. The only way to free the hostages and defeat the terrorists is to destroy the terror culture in whatever form it takes.
Just about two years ago, I authored a book titled: The 56 – Liberty Lessons from those who risked all to sign The Declaration of Independence. The sole purpose of that book was to not only warn of the far-left’s increasing attempts to cancel the 4th of July and our Founding Fathers, but to outline how to stop them.
For over a year prior to its publication, I spent endless hours researching the men who eventually signed the Declaration as well as those who did not. Men, by the way, who were all flawed and imperfect human beings, as are we all.
In many ways, it was the mindset of the men who refused to step up to sign the most famous document in our history, which ultimately highlighted the incredible courage, fortitude, sacrifice and genius of those who did sign. Most especially, the wealthiest of the Signers.
Back in 1776, the vast majority of the wealthy in the Colonies either remained silent, or openly became “Loyalists” to the British Crown. Why? They did not want to rock the boat or risk their wealth and privilege.
Fortunately for us, our wealthy Founding Fathers decided they could not live with themselves if they did not step out from that pack of entitled silent sheep to take a stand against the tyranny of the Crown. Each asked the two most critically important questions of their lives: “If not me, who? If not now, when?”
Now, let’s flash ahead to June of 2015.
At that time, Trump was one of the wealthiest and most well-known men not only in the United States, but in the world. He was a multibillionaire with a global business empire. Why in the world would he rock that boat? Better – like the wealthy of 1776 – to play nice with the entrenched establishment elites in both political Parties so as to secure his wealth and privilege.
I was told by friends of Trump that as he traveled the country in 2015 he was truly shocked and saddened by what he saw. That being countless Americans suffering under the failed policies of a broken and corrupt political system. And it was then, I was told that Trump asked himself those same two questions: “If not me, who? If not now, when?”
So, he declared himself a candidate for President.
And from the second he did, he was savaged by the forces from the left as well as Republican “Never-Trumpers” who knew they could not control him. As we know, once he shocked the political world with his victory in 2016, those vile attacks only intensified. By 2020, it was clear that there was no line the Democrats and their bootlickers in the liberal media would not cross to “get Trump.”
Come 2024 Trump did not have to guess what some Democrats had in store for him if he ran for President because they openly telegraphed the strategy. They had a bloodlust to imprison him by any means necessary.
Now, think about that for a moment. Trump knew they were marshaling an army of activist liberal judges, prosecutors, district attorneys and state supreme courts against him in a desperate attempt to imprison him and he still chose to run for president.
Many have forgotten – or are not taught – that a number of Founding Fathers paid a cruel price for signing the Declaration of Independence. As in: having their homes and crops burned to the ground; their livestock slaughtered; being imprisoned; being tortured; having their wives arrested and sexually abused; and their sons arrested.
In spite of that – and because of that – our Founding Fathers believed that unless and until they imprison us or take our lives, they cannot silence our individual voices. They can’t stop us from speaking out in the defense of our liberty and our rights.
Trump would not be silenced. Illegal gag orders or not, he spoke out for his rights while highlighting the threats against his liberty and…ours.
And as his voice still echoes, we should all think: “There but for the Grace of God go I.” For if the forces of the far-left can do this to a multibillionaire former President of the United States, they can do it to any one of us.
Sadly, there are multiple conservative, Republican, and faith-based billionaires with broad reaching talents who have chosen to remain on the sidelines. Who have chosen to “not rock the boat.” Who have allowed themselves to be cowed into silence by the forces of the far-left.
Trump was – and is – not one. Honest history will one day record that when the United States of our time needed a champion with the traits of a “Founding Father,” Trump stood up and fought the good fight against the entrenched establishments and overwhelming odds.
A fight he is still waging.
Douglas MacKinnon is a former White House and Pentagon official and author of the book: The 56 – Liberty Lessons from those who risked all to sign The Declaration of Independence.
Nearly 14 months after the first of four unprecedented criminal prosecutions against former President Donald Trump commenced in earnest, the Democrat-lawfare complex got its man: The Soviet show trial in “Justice” Juan Merchan’s dingy New York City courtroom produced its preordained “guilty” verdict.
It is perhaps hackneyed to observe that, in convicting and seeking to incarcerate a former president and current leading presidential candidate, we have “crossed the Rubicon.” Well …
Did we not cross a Rubicon when the demonic Obama administration sued the nuns—yes, literal nuns—of the Little Sisters of the Poor to force them to subsidize abortifacients? Did we not cross a Rubicon when Democrats threw out 4,000-5,000 years of “innocent until proven guilty” civilizational norms to derail the U.S. Supreme Court confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh? Did we not cross a Rubicon when then-vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris solicited funds to bail out anarchic Antifa-Black Lives Matter street hooligans? Did we not cross a Rubicon when the American Stasi—sorry, the FBI—raided Mar-a-Lago over a document dispute? Did we not cross a Rubicon when myriad Trump attorneys, including the renowned scholar John Eastman, were prosecuted for practicing the legal profession? Did we not cross a Rubicon when Peter Navarro or Steve Bannon (just now) were ordered to jail?
The Rubicon, truthfully, is a shallow, inconsequential river in Italy. That it is so shallow helps explain why Julius Caesar was able to cross it so easily. At this juncture in American history, it no longer suffices to speak of crossing a Rubicon. We are now rapidly crossing great seas—perhaps even circumnavigating the globe. You might call President Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrat-lawfare complex our modern-day Magellans.
Ruinous or not, however, their precedent has now been set. And that raises the obvious question: For Democrats, will all of this, and especially their multifront anti-Trump lawfare, prove to be worth it?
That obvious question, in turn, has an equally obvious answer: absolutely, positively not.
The federal court system is rigged, politicized and weaponized. The FBI is not a police force; it’s a 21st Century Gestapo at war with anyone who questions the government. Social Security and Medicare are broke (for real) and are unsustainable, beyond a few more years according to the government’s own figures. The Federal Reserve is decisively making our money worthless so Biden can forgive student loans and let unlimited Democrats into the country to live off the government permanently. Russia and China are encroaching closer and closer to our shores. Our own military is weakening, and demoralized by woke generals more concerned with protecting the feelings of cross dressers than winning a potential war of self-defense. The federal health system calls for the mandatory imposition of experimental treatments that self-evidently do not work and can likely kill you, and the companies producing this toxic snake oil are awarded billions of government dollars.
The federal government is fiscally, strategically and morally a growing liability, infested with utterly amoral, unaccountable freaks. So WHY do we still have this federal government?

In a way, the powers-that-be who occupy Washington DC have a point, when they say we’re all in danger. It’s dangerous when mass numbers of people — maybe half the entire population of the U.S., or more — no longer think the court systems are honest, that they’re totally politicized (as they plainly are).
Some leftists think the weaponization of courts is a good thing. “People like Trump, DeSantis and others should be locked up.” Some are actually saying it, and without shame. They applaud the precedent of political incarceration because it’s happening to people they do not like. “Where was political incarceration when Reagan and Bush were president?” the older ones say. Who knew forcing socialism and Communism on the country could be so easy? Just make up a law, charge the undesirable candidate for President with it, and then rig the jury by selecting a jurisdiction where everyone hates the candidate. Then it’s all over!
They’ll rationalize it all by saying, “Well, what alternative do we have to locking up Trump — other than a dictatorship?” They view Trump’s rise to power — and anyone else who shares his views, by the way — as evidence of war. They think that one-party rule, imposed by fraud and force, is freedom; and that Trump’s tax cuts, spending cuts, easing of “climate change” regulations and attempts to uphold the Constitution’s emphasis on due process are the imposition of dictatorship. So they fight back.
Unfortunately, people on the Trump/MAGA/Republican side either lack the will or the means for fighting back, at least so far. They complain to each other on talk radio, the Internet and their media; but that’s all that happens. How many more dissenters will be put in jail before America’s political dissidents organize and start taking some kind of action? What will it take — concentration camps, where people who voted for Trump or said incorrect things on social media will be rounded up for “reeducation”? Does anyone realize how perilously close we are to that, right at this moment?
It’s not stopping with Trump. Already, the Biden regime has charged a medical doctor in Texas who spoke out against genital mutilation of minors with four felonies. Maybe Trump will escape jail, but will all the people with lower profiles be as fortunate?
Things are dangerous all right, but not for the people like Biden, Merrick Garland, the FBI and other Commiefascists who hold all the power and all the cards, at present. Things are dangerous for anyone who disagrees with them, or plans to openly disagree with them in the future. Things are dangerous for the cause of liberty itself. Things are dangerous for any kind of prosperity, with prosperity defined as anything beyond a basic sustenance provided by the government. Why? Because on our present march toward hyperinflation, that’s all anybody is going to get — a pittance from the government, provided they never criticize that government. Only the multibillionaires and connected will be able to handle a dollar that’s worth 1/1,000,000th of its present value in another several years or even sooner.
The totalitarians destroying our Constitution, ruining the currency, wrecking the justice system, opening the borders and opening the floodgates to all of our enemies (including Russia, with warships reportedly headed for the Caribbean in the near future) are the real danger.
They — the leftists, the RINOs, the Commiefascists of our time –scream that they’re in danger; but without any decisive or determined effort yet to remove them from power (hint: elections do not matter to them), they haven’t a thing to worry about. The rest of us do.

Biden regime “attorney general” Garland told Congress this week that criticism of his actions in office are “dangerous.” I have noticed he says this a lot, as do other members of the regime. Dissension is dangerous. Speaking out — in this case, about obvious, glaring acts of injustice — is “dangerous,” as a violent criminal might be dangerous.
This isn’t a slip. And it’s not new; it’s only new to America. It’s the attitude of all dictatorships, past and present, and it’s the rationalization for all that they do. “Your speech is dangerous, so I can throw you in prison, make up laws to prosecute you, or do whatever I have to do in order to get you to shut up.”
Garland and the rest of the Biden regime are essentially telling us, “Don’t criticize us. If you do, then you’re a literal, physical danger to America.” No, we’re not. That’s what America was built on — dissension and opposition. Garland knows this. What he really means is that dissension is a danger and a threat to HIM, to his power and the power of the lawless, authoritarian Uniparty now running our government and (increasingly) every aspect of our lives.
We got the Big Government our founders warned us about. Ronald Reagan’s warning, that because liberty is by definition always vulnerable, America was only a generation away from dictatorship at any given time, is coming true, right before our eyes. As Donald Trump prepares to be sentenced to jail (right before the Republican convention) by this lawless regime, most conservatives are focused on hoping for the best and planning for Donald Trump’s second term. I think we need to open our eyes just a little more clearly as to what’s really happening, right in front of us. Trump is great, but we need a Plan B.

“The past four years have been a period of extreme trials and tribulations for the people of the United States. They are struggling to regain a sense of optimism and confidence in the face of near unbridled despotism, brought about by one political party.
If Americans, beginning in 2024, do not begin the process of soundly rejecting the Democrat party and returning to the advancement of liberty and individual self-determination that so many over the past 248 years fought to defend, then the sacrifices of the soldiers on D-Day and their fellow patriots over the centuries will have been in vain.” [The American Thinker]

Is the United States becoming a Third World nation? This question has long been on the edge of polite conversation, but former President Trump’s conviction in two New York courts has pushed the query to the forefront. The short answer is that while this slide was once unthinkable, it currently seems “unlikely.” Worse, all the trends point to its increasing likelihood.
What generally defines “Third World” includes pervasive poverty, dilapidated infrastructure, lack of sanitation, inadequate modern healthcare, rampant crime, ineffective education, and violent political instability often reflecting ethnic rivalries, not democratic elections. Law reflects the whim of the powerful; not following written precepts. Third world governments also have a penchant for crushing national debt and wild spending. Invariably, a very rich minority governs masses living in squalor.
What separates First World nations like the U.S. from Third World nations like Nigeria is not vast natural resources. Third World Nigeria abounds in natural wealth while First World Japan has little.
The key difference is human capital, a collection of multiple traits, especially brain power and a strong work ethic, and absent these traits, a modern capitalist economy cannot exist. Expats in Third World countries routinely complain “nothing works,” and the corrupt government cannot fix or maintain anything.
Countless outward signs of a typical Third World nation have recently emerged in the United States. Most visible is the physical decline of major cities: filthy streets, unsanitary homeless encampments, open drug dealing and use, unpunished crime, burgeoning slums “off limits” to ordinary people, and a general incivility. Add a growing multi-generational pathologically ridden underclass permanently dependent on government assistance. A Baltimore resident would be shocked by the contrast with his hometown if he visited Helsinki or Athens.
Less visible is the decay of public education manifested in declining test scores, rampant school violence, and replacing traditional education with radical racial ideology prizing self-esteem over merit-based academics. Meanwhile, innumerable students at elite colleges, disproportionately majoring in academically “soft” fields, not engineering or science, demand “Death to America” while exhibiting profound ignorance of world affairs. Tellingly, in intellectually challenging fields, American must increasingly import its brain power from abroad.
These Third World style conditions persist despite spending billions and huge ameliorative bureaucracies, especially for curing our social pathologies. Ironically, these interventions only seem to exacerbate horrible conditions so the more we spend on homelessness, the greater the number of homeless. Such failure can only suggest a deficiency of brainpower. Remember, First World nations, by definition, can solve problems, whether running subways or cleaning streets.
A key harbinger of a slide towards Third Worldism is an appetite for unsustainable debt that inevitably brings economic collapse when lenders refuse to keep lending, and the United States seems headed in that direction. Our national debt is now $34 trillion, and the consensus is that it is out of control and a potential economic disaster. Yet, the cravings seem insatiable. The “free lunch” mentality has become part of our politics.
This pattern also occurs locally. In Chicago, for example, the total debt is now $40 billion or $43,000 per resident, and given the city’s anti-business policies and already elevated local tax rate, it is unclear if the debt can ever be repaid. Then add fiscal wastefulness like the city’s “Green New Deal for Schools.” Consequently, half the city’s budget now goes to servicing the debt and pensions so vital services like policing and fire protection are sacrificed, and matters will only deteriorate as residents and industry flee. Chicago may soon be a de-populated monument to Third World policies.
Urban squalor and financial mismanagement are just outward signs of decline. Less obvious is the spread of identity politics that prizes skin color and gender over merit, so people are hired for appearances, not an ability to do the job. The results are disastrous despite all the yammer about diversity being America’s greatest strength. Charles Murray’s Facing Reality (Ch. 5) details the dreadful consequences of this box-checking mentality. Whether you are hiring brain surgeons or janitors, ignoring merit guarantees inferior outcomes that bring lawsuits, chaotic conditions and, in some instances, death. Identity politics is the perfect ticket to economic decline, and while recent efforts to ban racial and gender preferences have had success, these practices persist. An incompetent applicant admitted and then graduated from medical school due to race today may ineptly practice medicine for the next 40 years.
Identity politics is explicitly anti-white and rejects the values held by white people. Jeremy Carl’s The Unprotected Class depicts how this ideology condemns as “white” hard work, objectivity, tenacity, the belief in reason, and similar values that undergird American greatness. One educator who trains teachers recently called the American flag a symbol of hate and extremism. Politically, those demonizing whiteness unashamedly demand a Third World country. This is not about civil rights or promoting equality, and champions of anti-whiteness have won significant victories in education and corporate America, even the military.
Also pushing America in the Third World direction is declining IQ. Intelligence, as measured by IQ, is at the center of human capital, and lacking brain power, all else is irrelevant. Unfortunately, all the evidence points in the direction of a decline in brain power. The movie Idiocracy depicts this dystopic future. According to one study with a sample of 400,000 respondents, while the average intelligence of Americans increased over the last century, a period of America’s greatest accomplishments, since the 1990s it has fallen on three of the four major intelligence domains—logic, vocabulary and mathematical, and visual problem solving. Only for spatial reason have IQ scores risen. As one California psychologist put it, “We’re all getting super lazy in our cognition because it’s getting super easy to do everything.”
These statistical IQ data are confirmed by “soft” data on grade inflation pervasive in American education, the declining intellectual levels of popular culture like movies and TV, and the explosion of social media featuring child-like ideas and gimmicky images. Attention deficit order on a grand scale. Professors who began their careers in the 1960s now complain about their shrunken, dumbed down reading lists and dismal student papers.
Further add massive immigration from Third World countries, and in today’s environment celebrating multiculturalism, Salvadorians’ habits may persist for generations. Then there is a declining birthright among high IQ women who choose careers over motherhood. Statistics on falling labor participation rates suggest a declining work ethic. Sadly, it’s not easy to find any indicator showing the ascendancy of First World values.
Banana Republic politics centered around simple “us” versus “them” thanks to a less-than-brilliant populace. The idea of democracy with its complex principles of fair play and moderation is just too difficult. In its place, policy is decided by violent rioting, kidnapping, and military coups that make elections a rigged formality. Intellectual accomplishment no longer becomes a prerequisite for high office, and expropriating property and re-distributing to allies becomes normal. Trump’s two New York show trials may be a harbinger of things to come, and he rightfully worries about Third World creep. It is no accident that Wall Street is now generously funding his campaign, because billionaires know what happens to capitalists in Banana Republics.
Donald Trump’s poll numbers were supposed to sink after a conviction. Instead, they’re still high or even rising (for what polls are worth). More objectively and reliably, donations to Trump’s campaign have surged to record levels — since his convictions, and precisely BECAUSE of those convictions.
Commiefascist “Democrats” and RINOs may be able to rig elections and eviscerate the American judicial system. Clearly, they have done that and will continue to do, unless forcibly stopped (through arrests and treason convictions).
But mass numbers of people don’t believe in the validity of our entirely politicized judges, courts and juries; and they consider these “felony convictions” not worth the paper they’re printed on (to use an old expression).
When mass numbers of people start to view their government as having no moral standing, the legal legitimacy of that government will soon collapse as well. I believe that’s what we see happening in large swaths of America.
They’re playing a dangerous game, these sociopaths in power. While they feel like they can do anything they want — and clearly act that way — they fail to note the lessons of history, that eventually every dictator comes down. Millions of Americans are armed. Millions more retain the right to noncompliance, the great American tradition that got our republic started.
When and if a tipping point comes, it may not be pretty, but it will all be over for the Bidens, the Obamas, the Clintons, the McConnells, and all the others decimating our freedom.
I smell a potential revolution in the works. That includes, but is not limited to, a French Revolution, where the tyrants are literally and visibly dethroned.
Watch yourselves, Commiefascists. You may think you’re smart, but you better dust off your history books.
