From the beginning, the Biden regime has wanted to render Donald Trump politically dead. Now they’ve opened the possibility of death of a more physical variety. With their latest kangaroo court charges, their bête noire now faces the death penalty. Yes, that’s right: drug dealers, murderers, and rapists walk free in blue cities all the time, but a former president and current presidential candidate who dares to stand up to the political and media elites could now get the big sleep.
It has been clear from the beginning that the indictments of Donald Trump are brazenly political, designed to discredit the Biden regime’s principal political opponent to the extent that he either cannot run again in 2024 or is so tainted in the eyes of the American people that it doesn’t matter whether he runs or not. A principal part of this strategy has been to exaggerate misdemeanor charges into felonies and split what would in ordinary circumstances have been one charge into many, such that Trump has now been charged with no fewer than seventy-eight felonies that could get him hundreds of years in prison. Or even, now, execution.
Breitbart reported Tuesday that “Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment Tuesday against former President Donald Trump for his role in attempting to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election includes several weighty felonies, including one for which death may be a penalty.”
That one would be 18 U.S.C § 241, “Conspiracy Against Rights,” one of the most absurd aspects of this entire ridiculous indictment. The Washington Post explains that this statute was “originally adopted as part of the Enforcement Act of 1870. It was the first in a series of measures known as the Ku Klux Klan Acts designed to protect rights guaranteed by the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, collectively called the Reconstruction Amendments.” Why is Trump being charged under an anti-KKK law? Well, because he is America’s number one racist in the eyes of the Left, of course, so as far as Smith and his henchmen are concerned, the optics are good here. The idea is that Trump somehow hindered people’s right to vote by contesting the veracity of the 2020 election. No, it doesn’t make any sense to me, either.
This law was clearly designed to go after Klansmen who acted to prevent free black men from exercising the right to vote during the Reconstruction era. It calls for fines or up to ten years in prison “if two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same.” It calls for the same penalties “if two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured.”
What’s that? Did they catch a masked Trump out on I-95, preventing cars full of pious people of color from proceeding on their way to the polling place? As crazy as this charge is, it gets even crazier in light of this clause: “If death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.”
Breitbart points out that there has indeed been a death that has resulted from all this: “One person — Ashli Babbitt, a rioter shot by a law enforcement officer — died as a result of the Capitol riot on January 6, which Smith said Tuesday was the result of Trump’s claims about the election.” What’s more, “Democrats have blamed Trump for the unrelated deaths of several protesters and Capitol Police officers.”
That means that if they make this charge stick — and given the desperately corrupt and politicized nature of Merrick Garland’s “Justice” Department and the entire Beltway political establishment, they very well may do so — we may be watching footage of Trump enjoying one last Big Mac and fries in his cell before he is led down the hallway to be strapped into Old Sparky.
Inconceivable? I wish it were. But we’re deep into banana republic territory with this criminal regime now, and so nothing can be ruled out.

You want to start a civil war? ‘Cause that’s how you start a civil war.
Paul says
We are well into civil war territory already. The left started it in the 60’s. Some on the right are still not fighting back.
Lightbringer says
Funny, the left (Democrats) started the last Civil War in the 1860’s. That damned party ought to have been banned in 1865 and never allowed to reconstitute itself, ever. I know, I know… if Lincoln had lived a lot of things would have been different, but he brought in a southern democrat as his running mate in order to smooth over ruffled feathers, and so the miserable Andrew Johnson got to finish his barely- started term. A lot of our current troubles stem from this.
CharlieSeattle says
Some??? …on the right are still not fighting back. No, none are! Harsh language is not action!
That makes it a turkey shoot, not a war!
Mo de Profit says
My thoughts too.
They’ve been waiting for you guys to rise up and fight to give them the excuse they need to declare a state of emergency giving themselves the power to send in the troops.
Don’t do it, or get the troops on your side first.
Semaphore says
Troops, huh? Have you seen our modern army lately? What will they do, hit us with their purses?
Mo de Profit says
That’s one reason why the serving army is likely to side with you. Any decent soldier will be horrified by the woke nonsense.
NAVY ET1 says
We ARE the troops. There are more retired military in a state of readiness than the entire cross-dressing woke military combined. While I’ll concede that the administration is waiting for violence to drop the hammer, when the hammer is ultimately dropped, patriots will be waiting.
Cat K says
MAGA was never about one man. It’s about everything else. Targeting Trump is awful and upsetting but also motivating, strengthening,
Recent articles by Lee Smith and Lloyd Billingsly (the latter on this site) have begun to discuss the ongoing role of Obama. I understand that he has advisors and does not act alone. He oversaw the impeding of transition to other party’s president in 2016, Russia hoax machinations and more , he seems still involved, Have our eyes been turned in the wrong direction? At vaccines? At dementia symptoms?
How do you deal with a snake in the grass?
David Ray says
I think what worked for the Romanians, circa 1989 would solve the problem – as long as we also round up & deal with every player in this deep-state treason.
That’d include Dorn, Ayers, Boudin, & every other terrortist-turned-recruiter in universities.
Then the next batch of traitors churned out from college medrassas would take pause before bombing buildings & inciting riots.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says

Annie45 says
Why is Trump being charged under an anti-KKK law? “The idea is that
Trump somehow hindered people’s right to vote by contesting the
veracity of the 2020 election”. As ridiculous as that sounds – if a charge
like that was made during the Soviet show trials under Stalin, the
verdict and punishment would be set before the trial even began. So
far, that Communist tyranny hasn’t completely taken over yet in
American jurisprudence so Trump still has some chance to fight the
charges and prevail. Unless the trial remains in D.C. with that Commie
judge and jurors – then for sure the fix is in.
I read that President Trump has already spent 21 Million dollars of his
own money defending himself against these bogus indictments. They
will spend the entire election year pummeling him with these
prosecutions and dragging him through the mainstream media mud.
Meanwhile, there’s not a sound coming from the halls of Justice
regarding Biden and his crime family against whom they have actual
evidence. Not a peep from the Commie Dems and Rinos to do
anything about the real treachery and crimes committed while Biden
was U.S. Vice-President.
Not a peep. Just relentless persecution of Donald Trump.
AbeKat says
Hard to believe they are getting away with it too. That is what kills me, everyone on the left is insane now and quite a few RHINOS too. I think it is because many of them are as corrupt as the Bidens and this is the real reason they hate President Trump. If nothing else in all the good President Trump did for average Americans like me, The best thing he did was open my eyes to how totally corrupt our government and it’s agencies are now in America. I believe the Biden major corruption is just the tip of the iceberg with how corrupt a lot of our elected and UNELECTED official are now. Trump exposed them and they couldn’t buy him thus they have to destroy him completely to keep the game going. I am just glad I am as old as I am and hopefully by the time this country goes under and falls to the communist, I won’t be here anymore.
Sandra Holloway says
My husband and I are astonished and terrified by what’s happening in America.Yet it seems there are ordinary citizens who are unaware of the evil going on around them.Does the dishonest media and Democrats believe when our democracy is destroyed that they’ll be among the elite who have the power and riches that will be denied to the rest of us?I think they’ll get a rude awakening.My hatred for Biden and his whole group of crooked thugs is affecting my whole existence.How can we fight back?I wish there was a way.I fear the Democrats plan to hold on to power whatever it takes.I am very afraid for our future.
Dr. Sylvia Wasson says
I share your despair and your fear. Many of us do. However, we can let fear paralyze us or motivate us. So what can we actually do in these dire times?
We can speak out — not only in like-minded forums such as this one but also in the form of letters and op-eds in leftist venues. Remember: the fear of retribution is almost always bigger than the reality of retribution itself.
We can join carefully vetted conservative groups, support them with money (small donations are fine) and work on their behalf. Strength is found in numbers, and courage is mightily contagious.
As an academic, I have lost friends, colleagues and family for politely disagreeing with their radical leftist views. You may, too, yet sadly that’s the price one sometimes pays for integrity and preservation of self-respect. Besides, by aligning yourself with patriots who grasp the severity of our current political demise, you gain new and supportive friends — true friends.
Finally, and most importantly, if you believe, as many of us do, that the assaults on former president and 2024 presidential candidate DJT are akin to evil, do NOT vote for any of the other Republican contenders for the presidency.
For one thing is clear; if ANYONE should understand how truly criminal and devious the indictments against the 45th are, it is those Republican challengers. If their professed love for our nation and our constitutional founding is as strong as they claim, they would rally around Donald Trump — if not for the man himself, then for the sake of saving our nation.
So next time you hear Nikki Haley bemoaning that Trump’s legal problems are a distraction, or Pence saying that Donald Trump should never be president again — remember that they owe DJT their political prominence, but have abandoned him in his darkest hours. And have no doubt: they will sell out each one of you in the interest of the self, and our beloved country as well.
I am an immigrant. I know what totalitarianism is. Traitors will always make a deal with the devil.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Prosecutors often use that tactic – making a person spend much money on his own defense while the prosecutors have an endless supply of taxpayer funds. Other areas of gov play the same game, e.g., when litigated by contractors, etc. They rejoice at making the contractor spend his money while they sit back with a very deep pocket. Actually, it is unethical. But they could not care less.
Lightbringer says
$21 million and counting. I think that part of the plan is to impoverish him and his family (the loyal ones, anyway) so that none of them can ever rise again. Let his great-grandchildren be government dependents, that would make the left very happy. Especially if they have no teeth left due to excessive use of methamphetamines.
Jeff Bargholz says
I seriously doubt the Trumps would use meth. Heck, Big Don has never even had a beer. 🙂
CowboyUp says
Weird, that antifa and blm haven’t been charged under these masking laws, the two black panthers that clearly were trying to keep people from voting weren’t prosecuted. And what about all those dem politicians and celebrities that tried to get the electors to change the results of the 2016 election?
Now we have more secret witnesses, secret ‘evidence,’ and secret procedings. Banana republic indeed, we’re even past that.
RickyTickySavvy says
…BLM and antifa are actually being rewarded with millions of dollars in ‘protest reparations’! SMH
Noah Andeark says
We’re Venezuela. Next up, disbanding SCOTUS.
AbeKat says
Oh, they are trying as hard as they can to do that already.
David Ray says
They’re looking for ways to dilute SCOTUS (via court packing) with lackeys to rubber-stamp all & anything that screws over patriotic America.
They also would like the tyrannical power recently abused by Trudeau.
His tinhorn administration illegally froze the finances of very peaceful protesters (and trampling over a few on horseback for good measure.)
Onzeur Trante says
The protestor with the placard reading “Death to the Traitor” (repeating myself here), gave me pause.
Yes, it could happen here, and I believe we will be seeing a lot more people carrying signs like this very soon.
Onzeur Trante says
NB: when I said “repeating myself” above, I did not mean reiterating the notion ” death to the traitor.” I was referring to my post yesterday where I had also mentioned it. I brought it up again today because I find the expression disturbing and possibly contagious.
Sword of the Spirit says
Pres. Trump (The REAL President) should leave now while he still can. God bless him and all the Trump family.
Onzeur Trante says
The biggest blow Trump could strike with his persecutors would be to go into exile, but who’s to say they wouldn’t continue to pursue him? Most likely they would.
Sword of The Spirit says
It’s not just men he’s up against. He’s up against the beasts of Revelation 13.. They’re intent to put him in prison so Hillary can visit him, laugh in his face, and remind him of when he said “Lock her up”.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Interesting. I have had that thought too for years. He could take a couple hundred million and live like a king with his chica in a decent country. One without a treaty with the US. At his age and after surviving the construction/real estate wars of NY and the lefties in our gov and media, why not enjoy what remains of his life. He does not deserve what they are doing to him and his family. Clearly, we have a minimum of two tier, maybe 3 or 4 system of justice here. It is so obvious – consider the Clintons, the Obamas, now the Biden Crime Syndicate.
Dr. Sylvia Wasson says
No, he does not deserve what he is enduring. Not at all.
But we need him — his courage, his example of love for country! He is willing to fight for us; the least we can do is fight for him. A political powerhouse like DJT, a man with his strength and resolve to oppose American Marxism, does not often appear in America’s political arena.
Let us resolve to support him — by any means necessary.
Steve Chavez says
SANDINISTA DANIEL ORTEGA, installed and supported by the Democratic Party under the direction of the Communist Party USA and SOVIET KGB, has been arresting and imprisoning all political opponents “AS A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY!” Their other Communist heroes like Hugo Chavez, Maduro, Morales do the same as Communism is left unchecked so spreading like Cancer. Even Chile, a stable country until AMERICAN COMMUNISTS were sent there to foment and incite UNIVERSITY STUDENTS who then led massive protests that then led to another country taken over.
“NO CONTRA AID!” Yes, acting like Peacemakers while at the same time, funding Communist FMLN rebels in El Salvador. When the FMLN won the Presidency in 2009, HILLARY CLINTON was the highest-ranking U.S. official at the inauguration. SOON AFTER OBAMA’S VISIT THERE, A MASSIVE INFLUX OF ILLEGALS BEGAN THEIR MARCH TO THE U.S.! (IN NM, our Governor Toney Anaya declared the first Sanctuary State in 1986 with the support of the NM Peace Council and the U.S. Peace Council directed by the CPUSA. THE WORLD PEACE COUNCIL WAS LED BY THE SOVIET KGB!)
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS, AKA SANDALISTAS, WERE RECRUITED by the CPUSA AND KGB and today they are now our teachers, professors, MSM, Hollywood, Big Tech, city/state/national leaders, filled Congress, and one KGB recruit became President Barack Obama who then appointed the same recruits to head all departments which were then used in a COUP ATTEMPT AGAINST A SITTING PRESIDENT and they got away with it! Obama, now the leader of the Black Su—pre—ma—cist Movement and leader against Trump with the help of Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, and behind the curtain, Trump’s main enemy…. BILL CLINTON with the help of Hillary. ALL LEAD TO THE DAYS OF THE TAKEOVER OF CENTRAL AMERICA! THEIR JOB TODAY IS TO RECRUIT THE NEXT GENERATION OF COMMUNISTS WE SEE IN THE STREETS AND LED BY COMMUNISTS!

Stephen says
A legitimate election in 2024 will not be held. Either China will invade Taiwan prior to the election so they won’t have to deal with president Trump, necessitating a state of emergency of some kind by the Biden administration, perhaps war? Those in the feckless administration under Obama…uh…Biden realize that they will lose jobs and careers, and may acquire new residences in “The Big House” if the Democrats lose the election, so it cannot proceed as a legitimate election, as per the Democrat/Marxist playbook. The lives and careers of too many Democrat placeholders are at risk.
The current US administration has given up all pretense of legality and is now, therefore, illegitimate. It’s illegitimacy and its predations upon the citizenry and the constitution make it subject to immediate dismissal by whatever means might be effective and and would cause the least damage to the state and its people, in order to re-establish a state of law and order under the legitimately elected representatives of the American people,
RS says
The rise in darkness is amazing, civil unrest, and lawlessness, cheating, deceiving, endangering people. Its global too. Nations such as China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are stirring the war-like pot. The Ukraine catastrophe could spread, thanks to Putin’s madness. Most military analysts tell us that WWIII is a certainty. Common sense flew out the window, and people who are politically obsessed with change to the one world global government don’t want anyone to be in charge with common sense. Frankly, its pretty maniacle to watch the obsession of doing whats wrong with no conscience as to who gets hurt or the dior consequences. We can now see how a secular society destroys nations.
AbeKat says
Read your Bible, especially Revelations. It is happening faster and faster. Be sure you are saved and ready for Christ’s return. Don’t be caught not ready. Of course none of us know that time but the Father. Jesus Christ is my only hope now in all this disgrace that is occuring in our beloved country. Only he can save us if we just believe he is who he said he was. Yes, I believe he is the Messiah and this is my public statement and acknowledgement of my belief.
Lightbringer says
As some damned commie said, “Elections have consequences.” Especially stolen elections.

Never forget that Biden & Harris were on The Communist Party USA Ticket.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Trump will not turn tail and run. Neither should we. Remember, Trump understands that we are the target – he is just standing in the way.
I am surprised the deep state and its willing accomplices in the CIA et. al. have not worked out the “permanent removal” of Trump.
Jeff Bargholz says
Don’t even think it. I worry about his probable assassination regularly. They can’t beat him legitimately.

This should solidify in folks’ minds just how much The Biden Administration HATES AMERICA

I actually felt sorry for Uncle Saddam when he got executed. It was such an undignified way to die, and he said so before he went.

This whole scenario is cooked up by idiotic half-wits. They throw their piles of rhinoceros diarrhea around hoping that morons will get sucked in. Sadly, many will.
Manny says
The one that needs to be “hanged” is biden! He enabled the invasion of criminals across our border. Now they have even started carrying weapons to cross the border. That is an armed invasion of our country. And then the illegals parade around our towns as if they are VIPs. BS!!
We need to hold biden and his demoncrats accountable for America’s down fall!
Freedom says
Trump campaigned on the slogan that he was going to drain the swamp. Trump is gone and the swamp is bigger and more powerful than ever. Clearly, something has to change. I have lost all faith in the RINO republican party that is too chicken sheet to make the big boy decisions that need to be made.
RS says
Its NOT about just one man, who is in their way, has not committed a crime, and was elected by the rightful citizens of America, but (millions) who desire to keep their freedom, their constitution, laws, and a free country. The globalists want to reshape the world world, according to their agenda, via the influence they have gained over the global leaders of our day.
Colonel Dax says
There is a short book on Kindle, “French Revolution: A History From Beginning to End.” It’s about a 1/2 hour read.
It covers the reasons leading to the Terror, and the guillotine. The storming of the Bastille was done to get ammunition to use in the guns that the people had been raiding Army posts and police stations for.
We can skip that step.
We learn from history. Democrats do not learn.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Thanks! It sounds very easy to read and perfect for a busy schedule.
Lightbringer says
That poor man! Regardless of who he is or what opinions he holds, nobody deserves to be treated like this. There was a time when that American eagle on the front of the passport actually meant something, in terms of a government that would back you up. Now? Forget it.
M. Tiro says
What a joke. Stop already. The only reason for any of what the Dems are doing is to keep Trump from running in 24. And they will succeed, b/c the Repubs have no intention of opposing them.
Vince says
That would be the point where a second civil war would begin, and rightly so.
Warm Pablum says
I think Benjamin Franklin put it best, “We Must All Hang Together, or Most Assuredly, We Will All Hang Separately” When the political class has a different set of laws than the commoners the official position is that the noose is for thee, not for me. These idiots are too muddle headed to realize that Trump would probably show up for his own lynching just to prove the point. Once an individual has declared they will sacrifice even their very life for their country that individual lives the phrase, give me liberty or give me death.
RS says
Its all about control and power, and following the money. No wonder Americans were duped in the election of 2020 of their choices. The Gateway Pundit has discovered so many fraudulent registration ballots in many states, and the signatures didn’t even match…they just slipped through the cracks. This happened in 2020 and where were the Republican representatives. who should have been watching for this kind of I(nterferrance in elections?) The Left has a system to maintain their fraudulent elections and people had better wake up.
rbla says
If I were giving advice to “evil” Putin I would tell him to commute the sentence and release his political opponent Navalny. Imagine how it would look at the same time that the swampy demon rats are persecuting their chief political opponent. Putin would look quite good in the eyes of the world. Russia a much freer and less authoritarian country than our once great Republic.
