A few days ago [ACTUALLY 2020-ELECTED] President Donald Trump was convicted of crimes no one seems to be able clearly define. The crimes are so ethereal that Dem-Marxists who faced similar accusations either received a slap on the wrist or ludicrously insignificant fines as they went on to campaign in their elections.
I first read about the Lawfare/Political conviction on a WarRoom: Official Telegram Channel post. To be honest, I rarely comment on Telegram. However I was so incensed (after reading Leftist commentators reluctantly sharing the Bragg’s case was weak) that I typed this comment a few days ago: “That pisses me off!!!”
The anger I feel now is reminiscent of I felt as watched the November 2020 Election process into the wee hours of the night. Until Fox News decided to acquiesce to the Coup, they actually showed Swing State sites STOP Vote counts, kicking GOP watchers out of buildings, video tapings of mysterious suitcases being opened before cameras was shut off and so on. THEN the announcement Dementia Joe won with 81-million votes (when only handfuls of supporters showed up to Dementia Joe’s campaign rallies).
Since 2020, AND NOW 2024, I feel I live in a nation where the Constitution is shredded, the Rule of Law is Soviet-style and the heritage established by America’s Founders has placed Americans wanting to live under Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness back into a historical context similar to what was faced under British-Ruling Tyranny.
And my anger with this tyrannical situation is what is going to make a lengthy post as a share posts and thoughts that stoke my feelings. Feel free to stop reading if this political climate has elicited such personal pessimism that the Dem-Marxist Fundamental Transformation is an irreversible inevitability that you choose to succumb to.
If you desire to resist the Fundamental Transformation of America, READ ON. If you are young enough to be involved in some kind of active mobilization (NOT beginning with violence like Dem-Marxists), YOU SHOULD DO SO. Let us see what follows when government tyranny begins the arrests of thousands or use violent police powers to shut down Constitutionally protected protests. If you are in my situation of disability or elderly making active mobilization difficult, becoming an inciting voice to inspire the mobilization of active individuals.

The Appeal to Heaven, also known as the Pine Tree Flag, is a historical banner that has long represented the fight for freedom. Recently this iconic flag has come under attack by those who seek to suppress the values it embodies.
The Appeal to Heaven Flag dates back to the early days of the American Revolution, when the colonies were seeking to break free from British rule. The flag features a green pine tree with the phrase “An Appeal to Heaven” emblazoned on a white banner beneath it. This design was inspired by the words of John Locke, a prominent philosopher and political theorist whose ideas greatly influenced the founding principles of the United States.
In his work, “Two Treatises of Government,” Locke wrote that when a government fails to protect the natural rights of its citizens, those citizens have the right to “appeal to heaven” for justice. The pine tree, a symbol of resilience and strength, was chosen to represent the colonies’ determination to fight for their rights and independence.
The flag was flown by American ships during the Revolutionary War and was used by various military units, including the Massachusetts Navy and the Washington Cruisers. Its presence on the battlefield served as a powerful reminder that the colonists’ struggle for freedom was grounded in their faith in God and their belief in the inherent rights of all men.
In recent years, the Appeal to Heaven Flag has been adopted by Christian Nationalists as a symbol of their commitment to upholding the principles of faith, freedom, and self-governance. As a Christian Nationalist myself, I have been flying the flag outside my home for over five years, and its meaning has only grown stronger for me in that time.
The flag serves as a constant reminder of the sacrifices made by our forefathers in the pursuit of liberty and the importance of maintaining a strong connection between our faith and our governance. It is a declaration that we, as Christian Nationalists, will not stand idly by while our rights and values are trampled upon by those who seek to undermine them.
The recent attack on the Appeal to Heaven Flag, which was flown outside the Virginia home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., is a clear indication that our enemies recognize the power and significance of this symbol. However, their attempts to discredit and suppress it will only strengthen our resolve to continue flying it proudly.
In recent years the credibility of the democratic process has been called into question as allegations of election rigging and voter suppression have become increasingly common. This has left many feeling disillusioned and powerless, as their voices seemingly go unheard and their votes rendered meaningless.
The feeling of hopelessness is further exacerbated by the obvious control exerted by malevolent forces over our society. These forces, which can be described as demonic in nature, are characterized by their hatred for traditional values and their relentless pursuit of power and control.
In such a climate, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless. However, the Appeal to Heaven Flag serves as a powerful symbol of hope and resistance.
The concept of appealing to heaven is deeply rooted in the Christian faith and has been a guiding principle for countless believers throughout history. The Appeal to Heaven Flag embodies this principle. By flying the Appeal to Heaven Flag, we acknowledge that our struggle is not merely a political one, but a spiritual one as well. We recognize that the forces we are up against are not merely human, but demonic in nature. This is not to say that we should abandon our efforts to effect change in the political realm. Rather, it is a call to recognize the spiritual dimension of our struggle and to seek divine guidance and protection in our endeavors.
In times of darkness and despair, it is faith that can provide the strength and resilience needed to persevere. The Appeal to Heaven Flag serves as a powerful symbol of this faith, reminding us that we are not alone in our struggle and that our ultimate salvation lies in the hands of God.
By embracing the Appeal to Heaven Flag, we acknowledge the spiritual dimension of our struggle and commit ourselves to seeking divine guidance and protection in our endeavors. We recognize that our ultimate victory will not be achieved through our own strength alone, but through the power of faith and the grace of God.
The Appeal to Heaven Flag has a rich history that is intertwined with the founding principles of the United States and the values of Christian Nationalism. As a Christian Nationalist, I will continue to fly this flag as a symbol of my commitment to the ideals of faith, freedom, and self-governance. I encourage all those who share these values to join me in embracing the Appeal to Heaven Flag as a powerful symbol of our ongoing struggle for a better future.
There is tremendous power in appealing to heaven.
To God Be The Glory,

Megyn Kelly Advocates for Legal Action Against Democrats
Megyn Kelly on SiriusXM (Beards of Liberty Photo)
By Steve Marks
May 31, 2024
Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News host, recently ignited a fiery discourse on her SiriusXM show that has garnered much attention. Her impassioned monologue centered around the verdict in former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan hush money trial, a topic that she approached with undeniable fervor.
“This is a before and after moment for America,” Kelly stated emphatically, underscoring the significance of the situation. She drew a clear distinction by asserting that to amend what she referred to as Trump’s “crucifixion” in the American justice system, Democrats need to be held accountable and face legal consequences. “Democrats will rue the day they decided to use lawfare to stop a presidential candidate,” she cautioned. Her argument was not promoting violence but advocating for a reciprocal legal strategy. In her view, influential figures such as Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton could potentially be implicated, possibly extending statutes of limitations to probe past offenses akin to E. Jean Carroll’s case under New York state law.
To strengthen her argument, Kelly referenced an article by John Yoo, a White House attorney during the Bush administration. Yoo suggested that giving Democrats “a taste of their own medicine” is the only way they’ll learn their lesson. “They tasted blood today,” Kelly commented metaphorically equating Democrats to wolves hungry for more power. In her opinion, it’s time for political reprisal as never before have such high stakes been at risk for the Republic.

Intriguingly, Kelly is not the only one expressing newfound support for Trump. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, despite his previously strained relationship with Trump, has committed substantial financial backing to his campaign with a goal to raise at least $10 million. Following the trial verdict’s backlash, MAGA supporters inundated Trump’s campaign with over $34 million in donations within just 24 hours, causing a temporary crash of the website. High-profile conservative donors are also stepping up with six-figure contributions.
Kelly believes that Democrats are failing to comprehend Trump’s increasing popularity among blue-collar voters and Americans of color. She highlighted how figures like George Stephanopoulos struggle to understand Republican perspectives on what constitutes criminality. Kelly ridiculed Stephanopoulos for his evident confusion when New Hampshire’s Republican Governor Chris Sununu voiced his support for Trump. According to Kelly, almost half of the country perceives actions by Democrats such as challenging elections or burning police stations as less severe than the allegations against Trump.
Renowned for her straightforward style, Kelly doesn’t shy away from making bold claims that resonate with a significant segment of voters. These assertions mirror deep-rooted frustrations and a readiness for drastic political retribution among many Americans. Whether her calls for action will take shape remains uncertain; however, one thing is clear: Megyn Kelly continues to stir controversy and command attention in America’s ongoing political narrative.

It's Official, We Are Now a Banana Republic
A banana republic in the United States will not stand!
Biden's Banana Republic (CFP Photo)
June 1, 2024
We live in a strange time. The law in many states, cities, and jurisdictions in this country, especially in Democrat strongholds, has been laid low. In Chicago, a judge acquits an attacker who stole a police car, ran over a Chicago cop, and crashed into four vehicles. In California, shoplifting is now de facto legal.
The Democrats have turned our country into a corrupt shithole
Shoplifting merchandise with a value under $950 is now a misdemeanor in California, which means the police will not bother to investigate and will most likely let the thief go. It has resulted in brazen acts of smash and grab and flash mobs walking in stores, sometimes with shopping carts, filling them up, and walking out. Fact-checkers will disagree, because it is their job to forward the Left's narrative. As a result, hundreds of businesses have closed, leaving neighborhoods either without stores or stores with locked toothpaste.
George Floyd's refusal to face arrest allows leftist mobs to get away with burning down major parts of a city. The most expensive insurance in U.S. history. However, the perpetrators of this misapplication of protest rights found solace in the Democrat Party, which paid for many of their bail bonds. It makes one ask, Who are these thugs working for? This is the country we now live in.
The Democrats have turned our country into a corrupt shithole because they have shown themselves to be unwilling to pass the mantle of power to any other political party. They feel obligated to use any legal or illegal means to bring down and destroy their opposition—weaponize the law, if you will.
In the Banana Republic of Mexico, 36 murders of candidates have taken place thus far during their current election cycle. Just days ago, a right-leaning mayoral candidate named Alfredo Cabrera was shot multiple times during a rally. He is dead. Cabrera, like so many others, failed to receive approval from the criminal cartels.
The Democrat Party is the criminal cartel in this country.
Since the Trump trial and its deliberations have dominated conversations for the past few weeks and days, I thought it would be helpful to explain the legal issues and the trial's conduct.
President Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records under New York Business Law 175.10. It states:
“A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.”
The New York Election Law 17-152 violation was another charge against President Trump:
“Conspiracy to promote or prevent an election. Any two or more persons who conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means and whose conspiracy is acted upon by one or more of the parties thereto shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.”
The 34 counts, or records, consist of 11 checks written to Michael Cohen, along with comparable vouchers and invoices. The prosecution alleges that the payments marked as legal expenses, were reimbursements for payments made by Cohen to Stormy Daniels to aid in the election of Donald Trump. What was Clinton's payment to Paula Jones listed as? Remember, Paula Jones accused Clinton of rape!
Elections are supposed to be won by issues, not the weaponization of the law
The prosecution must demonstrate President Trump's intention to defraud or conceal the alleged conspiracy by creating business records.
That all somewhat sounds clear, but the jury, and a myriad of legal observers said it was confusing or made confusing from the start. The charges were never made clear to the jury. This was a case that has quite possibly destroyed the election system of our country. Elections are supposed to be won by issues, not the weaponization of the law. To even the casual observer, this case was 100% political. These charges were never brought before a court by anyone in American history. No one wanted to take this case to court except those who were elected with the promise of 'getting Trump.' Witnesses were called who had nothing to do with the case. The Democrats are now using the case as campaign fodder. How is all this not political? The strategy in court was to gather as many witnesses as possible to testify that Trump is a bum. 'Maybe we'll find something to hang him with.'
Is this how we conduct presidential elections?
The jury seemed confused much of the time. The case never should have been heard in New York City, a Democrat stronghold where elections routinely go 80–90% Democrat. A change of venue was denied.
This was a kangaroo court by its very definition
Some witnesses, like Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney, demand special attention. Here is a man who cannot tell the truth, a convicted perjurer who lost his license to practice law, hired Lanny Davis, a long-time Democrat operative, as his attorney, and was sentenced to three years in prison for tax evasion, making false statements to a federally insured bank, and campaign finance violations. He spent most of his sentence in home confinement and vowed that he would never go to prison again. That leads to the conclusion that he will say anything the feds or Democrats want him to say.
The judge, Juan Merchan, is a Colombian-born American who regularly donates to Democrats and progressive causes. He has a daughter, who is president of Authentic Campaigns, a Chicago-based progressive political consulting firm whose top clients raised $93 million for Democrats during the Trump case. Recusal of the judge was denied.
This was a kangaroo court by its very definition. Does a bookkeeping violation warrant 34 felony counts? This judge never even allowed Trump witnesses to explain their answers. No one seems to know what the jury convicted Trump of. The judge (paraphrased) instructed the jury to find something to convict.
What in American history can we compare this with? Turning our country into a banana republic? At the same time, the Democrats have been attacking the Supreme Court, trying to get Alito to recuse himself because his wife likes to fly flags from America's past, like the Appeal to Heaven, a flag hung by other cities routinely throughout our history.
This case was not about the law. It was about stopping Trump
What this all comes to is the realization that we are in danger of a split or divorce. Where are our common values, the E Pluribus Unum? The Democrat Party wants to jail Donald Trump because he's about to win an election? The Left in our country does not respect our Constitution, our system of government, or our elections. They don't like the electoral college. They would rather have mob rule, and the word 'mob' is perfect to describe Democrats. Even James Carville believes left-wing Democrats are "annoying and silly."
The Democrat Party has shown that, in spite of their claim to protect democracy, the rule of law, and the integrity of our institutions, they have systematically dismantled this country. This case was not about the law. It was about stopping Trump. They've weaponized the law to destroy all opposition they deem dangerous to their hold on power. This cannot continue.
If we do not get a handle on this split and come to some kind of consensus, I fear violence and civil war. The Democrat Party has been taken over by leftist fanatics, with almost the entire media encouraging and feeding them. If there are any centrists still in the party, they need to come together and take their party back. A banana republic in the United States will not stand!
We need to put the sleeping giant back to sleep.

The Unprecedented Trump Conviction
By Dave Kubal, IFA President/CEO
June 1, 2024
I PRAYED:
Father God, we thank You for Your just nature. We know that injustice grieves You more than it grieves us. Bring about justice in America.
I miss precedented times. Since the pandemic started in 2020, the news has warned us about the unprecedented times we live in seemingly every day. There have been enough historic news events in these past few years to fill entire libraries. The very saying “unprecedented times” has become almost meaningless, considering how often both sides of the political aisle have used it to describe newsworthy events.
Nevertheless, we truly are living in unprecedented times. The conviction of former United States President Donald Trump exemplifies this.
On May 30, 2024, Donald Trump was found guilty on 34 charges of falsifying business records. Trump was already the first former president ever to face a criminal trial. Now, he has become the first former president ever to become a convicted felon.
President Trump’s sentencing will take place on July 11. He could face a simple fine or probation, but Judge Merchan could also sentence him to up to 4 years in prison. This could lead to Trump, currently the leading candidate in the presidential race, campaigning from a cell. This would be yet another first for the former president, as well as for the nation.
But what exactly happened?
Lawfare-in-Election-Politics Banner
The Trumped-Up Trial
The prosecution accused Trump of poor record-keeping, improperly recording hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. While the defense argued that these payments were unrelated to Trump’s campaign and political ambitions, the prosecution argued that they should have been classified as campaign-finance expenses.
It is important to remember that business-records charges are not felony offenses. To elevate the charges to felonies, the prosecution relied on an expansive legal theory, alleging that Trump falsified business records to conceal the underlying crime of defrauding the American public.
Throughout the trial, the defense cast doubt on Michael Cohen, the prosecution’s star witness. Cohen, a disbarred former attorney, did implicate Trump in his testimony. He also, however, admitted to stealing money from the Trump Organization, painting his testimony and honesty in a dubious light.
Many feel that Trump never had a fair chance in this trial, regardless of how the arguments played out. After all, how could he? Alvin Bragg, the district attorney who brought this case, is an outspoken Democrat with a long history of opposing the Trump family. Judge Merchan formerly donated to the Biden campaign in 2020, and his daughter has worked with Democrat campaigns and political action committees. Above all else, Trump stood before a jury in one of the most deep blue areas of the country. The odds were not in his favor.
New York law allows Judges much leeway in application of legal process. At one point he instructed the jury they were able to convict while not finding him guilty. The jury was not required to be unanimous on each of the 36 counts. We will never know what the actual vote of each count actually was.
So what happens now?
Trump’s sentencing could be delayed, but it’s unlikely that Merchan will allow that. In preparation for the sentencing, probation officers will complete an advisory presentencing report, and Trump will gather letters attesting to his character. As all parties prepare for the first-ever sentencing of a former president and leading presidential candidate, we look forward to more unprecedented times in July.
How We Can Pray
Many are saying that May 30 was a dark day in American history, describing the conviction as a hopeless crossing of the Rubicon, a crushing victory of the forces of darkness over the people of God. But there is always hope in Christ. This darkness cannot and will not suffocate the light. In fact, Isaiah 60 gives great hope that when darkness is heavy and thick, the glory of the Lord rises on us. That is where my focus and my hope is.
Trump will almost certainly appeal and fight his verdict, which is a lawfare-fueled attempt to keep him out of the White House, and we’ll pray that it won’t stop him. Even now, we pray that God’s will would be done in November and we pray that the election will be fair and accurate, with Christians exercising their responsibility and privilege to vote.
Above all else, we will continue to hope. The enemy is always seeking to demoralize us. God uses his attacks for our good and His glory. And God will have the last word on all human affairs. May His will be done.
