Is the Raid on Trump’s Home the type of thing you get from a legitimately elected government? Would a legitimately elected government?

If Trump had done thing to Hillary the Press would have gone ballistic.

I think the Legal Insurrection Crowd has it nailed:

This is a provocation. They are trying to get a reaction that allows a further crackdown. See, In Re J6. It’s also a provocation to get Trump to declare his candidacy for President before the midterms.

Democrats would love to turn 2022 into a referendum on Trump rather than the deliberate destruction of the national borders and inflation.

Would the FBI and DOJ do such a thing? Aren’t they “above” politics? The then FBI Director James Comey admitted to trying to set up the new President Trump by alerting him to the Steele Dossier, and then leaked the story of the briefing to CNN, which gave license to report on the false allegations in the dossier. So yes, the FBI and DOJ would do such a thing, and have done such a thing to Trump. All the more reason to keep your heads about you.

Don’t take the bait. Being stupid isn’t tough, it’s just stupid.

There was a time when I would not have thought this kind of thing possible from even the most crazy Democrat. That time is long past.

Does the left really expect this not to come back and haunt them.

Closing thought: I would hate to be a 20 year vet of the FBI seeing this kind of thing and wondering what happened to this agency.

Apparently it’s: “Make US Cities so crappy and unsafe that even legal folks go home”

The bodega clerk who was infamously charged with murder for fatally stabbing an assailant has had it with the crime-ridden Big Apple and is returning to the Dominican Republic, pals told The Post on Friday.

 “He doesn’t work here anymore. He’s getting ready to move out of the country,” the manager of the Blue Moon convenience store, where the grisly Manhattan stabbing happened July 1, said of Jose Alba, 61. 

And it’s not like the Dominican is the safest place in the world as Jazz Shaw notes:

Jose Alba came to the United States looking for the American dream, and for a while, it seemed as if he’d found it. But thank’s to New York City’s backward-facing court system, he wound up living out the American nightmare. His great opportunity to have a stable job and a home of his own was transformed in a single week to an “opportunity” to be abused by the legal system that was supposed to protect people like him from the dregs of society.

Consider what it means for someone like Alba to willingly choose to move back to Santiago. Our own government issues travel warnings about the Dominican Republic, citing “armed robbery, homicide, and sexual assault” as frequent dangers. The tourist resorts are safer than they used to be thanks to investments in law enforcement resources, but Santiago is simply a dangerous place.

Yet given a choice between New York City and Santiago, Jose Alba is choosing… Santiago.

I can’t help but thinking of my interview with Maria from my “interviews with immigrants” series when she said she knew the US was for her when she was at a pond alone and wasn’t afraid when there were men who walked by.

If you really want to understand what the left has done to America, this crystalizes it perfectly.

It’s been really something watching Elizabeth Warren go wild about pregnancy centers in the post Roe world because I’m so familiar with such centers and the work they do.

Such as Mira Vida, at Belmont Abbey College which allows pregnant college age women to transfer to Belmont Abbey college and get 10 classes hours for free while Mira Vida provides help both before and after the birth of their child.

Or Visitation House that gives residency, food, shelter and help on parenting and more including counseling and life classes to pregnant woman before and after they deliver.

Or problem pregnancy that provides financial, spiritual, social and physical needs of pregnant women so they can keep their children without fear.

As you can see the attacks on the center have been taking place long before the Dobbs decision.

and of course the video from this week about First Concern pregnancy centers that again focus on removing the problems that can prevent a woman from having their child rather than seeing the baby as the problem

All of these centers have some things in common

  • All of them attack the problems that women might face with pregnancy rather than the child being the problem
  • All of them serve a lot of women in financial need particularly the poorest
  • None of them restrict their support based on the religion or lack thereof of the mother
  • They get little or no attention from the media for the work they do

But there are two points that are really central to the hatred of these centers by the Democrat left in general and Senator Warren in particular

  1. All of these centers operate through private donations vs taxpayer funds meaning that the money is going to support women and their needs rather than financing Democrat activists and allies.
  2. Since there are no federal millions going to these centers there is no money to be kicked back to the Democrat party or their superpacs, or the campaigns of individual democrats running at the local, state or federal level.

Put simply there is no graft in it for the left and thus they are of no use to Democrats.

This is also why the media has had little or no interest in covering, promoting or extolling the good works that these groups and hundreds like them all across the nation are doing because every donated dollar to these organizations that saves a child’s life eats into Planned Parenthood’s bottom line which mean it eats into the campaign funds and support of thousands of Democrat activists and candidates.

It’s one thing to help women & children but if it shows Christianity in a good light and doesn’t help the Democrat Party it’s just not newsworthy.

My Sicilian Grandfathers were born on the Island in the 1800’s and my memory of them is slight as they died when I was 3 and 4 but some of their wisdom was passed on down to me by my parents and siblings who were old enough to hear it.

One of those bits of advice came from my mother’s dad who was a Barber with a shop about 3-400 yards from where I am now typing this. He said this about confronting an attacker with a weapon:

Never use a weapon that you are afraid of

That is to say don’t use a weapon that you’re afraid of having turned on you.

Somebody needs to give the Democrats who seem to have decided to use trumped up indictments against their foes all over the country to slow down GOP candidates. For the whole this is backfiring but a more important point is this. Such use of government against one political enemies sets a precedent that in a time of polarization will be a dish that the GOP will be happy to serve on the left once they are in power.

And one of the basic truths of American politics is that sooner or later your political foes will always be in power and able to wield the same weapons that you choose to use against them.

I understand the Democrats are getting desperate, all their tactics suggest they don’t trust their ability to get the votes of the people, they smack of desperation.

But I would strongly suggest to them that the rising stars in the GOP have a definite Jacksonian streak and will take positive joy in returning in giving you the same treatment you gave them.

So to the left I give this good advice that you will ignore: Think long and hard before you go all in on using the government at the federal, state or local weapon against us, because you don’t know how it’s going to end.
