If you’ve been following this blog and others like it these past two years, you know that I and other commentators made a couple of key predictions about the 2020 election’s fallout.
Chief among them were that …
- The regime would convict Trump on dubious federal charges, thus disqualifying him from running again, and
- Puppet Pal Joe would not serve out his entire term.
It’s taken about a year longer than expected, but the regime has now made its move to neutralize Trump once and for all.
Eric Trump reported that yesterday, FBI agents raided the former president’s home in Florida. The elder Trump wasn’t there, but the feds were able to make off with boxes of documents from Mar-a-Lago’s offices.
The search warrant is said to concern this:
We’re also told that someone from the National Archives tipped off the FBI, who ransacked Trump’s residence in the hope of finding classified documents. Never mind that the President is the ultimate authority on what is and is not classified, and he can choose to declassify any materials at his sole discretion.
Of course, if we’ve learned one thing, it’s that the rules as written no longer matter. The regime has the power to do as they please, while we their subjects suffer what we must. Trump is finding out too late that he is in the latter category, which makes his tale a fitting tragedy. It’s doubtful the feds would have conducted such a high-profile raid if they didn’t know what they were looking for was there. And let’s dispense with any illusions: Even if it’s not, they aren’t above planting it.
In the coming months, the DOJ will announce with great fanfare that Trump had classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. This is a lesser crime than Hillary Clinton committed, but unlike her, the regime will see to it that Trump does not go unpunished. He’ll be indicted on federal charges. The feds have a 90% conviction rate, so once the indictment comes down, that will be it. The ensuing show trial will be good for some cheap entertainment, but the outcome will have been decided in advance.
It doesn’t take a psychic to foresee what will happen. Trump will get Martha Stewarted with a year or two sentence at a country club prison, just to rub it in. Then he’ll be sent back home to Palm Beach where he can’t make any more mischief for the elites. He’ll keep running his land development business while sending idle posts into the social media ghetto that’s his real prison, until he dies. But before that, he will fade from the biggest brand in the world to a Trivial Pursuit answer.
And to be blunt, that’s fine. Everyone who wasn’t engaged in wishful thinking has known since last January that voting no longer matters at the national level. The election rigging put in place under the cover of the virus scare has now been codified. Witness the laughable farce of 2020 style shenanigans turning up not just in national – but district elections, where vote counts start and stop, percentages of outstanding ballots rise and fall, and the whole charade takes a week to wrap up.
But only after enough votes are found to drag the establishment candidate into the winners’ circle, mind you.
And like it or not, a sizable share of the blame rests on Trump.
The hijinks that have made US elections into laughingstocks, even by third world standards, happened on his watch.
And long before that, he failed to purge the federal bureaucracy of Death Cult lifers hostile to him and his constituents.
In the end, Trump’s tragic flaw was this: He thought he was one of the elite when he never was. The ruling class tolerated him as long as he was a clown capering for their amusement on TV. But they reacted to him coming to DC like antibodies swarming a foreign infectious spore. Yet somehow, he never seemed to grasp that he was an outsider.
Throughout the history of palace intrigue, one rule remains constant: You do not take a shot at the king and miss.
Donald Trump squandered his shot. Now he’s paying for his failure. Many of the people who put their faith in him already are.
That last point is why Trump has proven unfit to lead and why no rational person should support him, even if he somehow makes it out of this mess he made. Trump has insufficient loyalty to his followers. That is not a momentary lapse of judgment. It is a persistent character flaw. When the chips are down, he will abandon his people again.
Barring some road to Damascus moment, that is. But even if Trump has a profound change of heart, he will need to prove it with concrete results before anyone should consider trusting him again.
Like all tragedies, Trump’s negative example can be an occasion for greater good. Otherwise smart, well-meaning people in positions of influence can take Trump’s removal from the board as a valuable lesson. There is no voting our way out of this – not with the electoral system totally compromised. Nor do we need a Boomer TV daddy to swoop in and save us.
The only one who can save us is Jesus Christ. Only He ever could. We can take comfort in that truth.
That’s not a cope or a call to retreat into Christian ghettoes. Jesus is the Lord of history, who remains in firm control. He’s given us a ray of hope, even in these dark times.
For Trump did bear fruit. By blundering into Washington and presenting the regime with a real threat, he forced them to drop their kabuki theater act. The political class and their toadies in the media had already been killing their own credibility every day of the Trump admin. Sending federal agents to toss an ex-president’s home finished off the last of the faith many folks had in the system.
When even turbo-normie tier pundits and pinko bugmen start wringing their hands about a collapse of public trust, it’s a good sign.
There’s no sugarcoating it. The situation’s about to get rough. And it will keep getting rougher indefinitely.
But you can take steps now to shield yourself and your family from the worst:
- Cultivate a rich prayer life
- Learn to grow a simple garden
- Have effective means of defense and know how to use them wisely
- Get out of the cities
- Develop income streams independent of a corporate paycheck
My friend and client Adam Lane Smith has had great success on that last front. And he’ll teach you how to break your dependence on Death Cult megacorps.

Today is a historical moment. A full mask-off moment. “By blundering into Washington and presenting the regime with a real threat, he forced them to drop the kabuki theater act.” And that’s great. We need reminders of how the world is fallen and Christ is King.
Amen
My Dad, who is a normie BoomerCon, has gotten to the “we’re a banana republic” stage.
Good.
One hard lesson that this blog has helped me learn is that sometimes the opposition is so dishonest and so disinterested in truth that there is no good to be done in engaging them at any level.
But even if I hadn’t learned that already, I think the left’s response to this would have taught me. The main arguments I’m seeing used are variants of “The fact that Trump was raided proves that he is guilty and if you do not support this, comrade, you are probably a traitor yourself.” Most don’t even know what the pretense for the raid was.
It also makes me glad to realize how many people are NPCs. If people were acting on any level than “the narrative said it so I must repeat it” it would be impossible to change their minds from such a viewpoint. But since they are NPCs all that is necessary is to regain control of the dominant narrative.
Realizing that the majority’s opinion doesn’t matter is the ultimate white pill.
Realizing Seneca was right is a major hurdle to overcome, especially since the ideas of universal suffrage and representation if taxed still hold sway. Eventually, once the rebuilding can happen, the NPC issue will have to be dealt with smartly but pragmatically.
Humanity has known how to deal with NPCs since the dawn of civilization. Large swaths of the populace should have no say in how society is run and should be given jobs requiring little creativity but high attention to detail that keep them out of trouble.
It’s only been in the last 300 years that we’ve forgotten that wisdom. The results speak for themselves.
“In the coming months, the DOJ will announce with great fanfare that Trump had classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.”
I doubt it. Eric Trump publicly announced that despite the FBI ordering them to shut off the security cameras at Mar-a-Lago, they left them recording and caught the FBI “acting improperly” on camera. He made the announcement as insurance: now that the FBI knows everything they did is on tape, they don’t dare claim to have found anything because they know the recordings exist and will prove them liars.
It’s already majorly backfiring on the FBI. Even scum like Andrew Cuomo are calling them out for it (not due to any moral qualms, but because they realize that the raid severely damages their own cause and puts Trump in a safer position than ever before as far as prosecution and public smearing are concerned).

They already tried to frame Trump for Russian collusion, inciting an insurrection, and various other bogus charges. Yet they have consistently failed to harm him, despite creating multiple elaborate schemes involving fake evidence to take him down. Every time they try, he comes out of it smelling like roses and they expose more of their own corruption. What are the odds of this consistently happening again and again? Isn’t it entirely possible that there’s something providential about all of this? That divine intervention is making things turn out differently than they would under normal circumstances? That perhaps Trump, as flawed as he is, is appointed for a purpose that cannot fail even if he himself fails from time to time (as was Samson, who failed and yet ultimately succeeded in doing what he was appointed to do)?
Even the 2020 election theft had the side-effect of exposing government corruption on a level that even most of the awake couldn’t see before and exposing which supposed allies can’t be trusted and need to be gotten rid of so that Trump or some other patriotic future president can get things done without having his hands tied by RINOs like Trump did in his first term.
This could very well be playing out before our very eyes:

Draining the swamp was never going to get rid of the swamp creatures in and of itself. It’s just the first step. The swamp has been drained. The swamp creatures are all still there, but without the water, there’s no place for them to hide any more. That makes them more vicious and desperate to employ every tooth and claw at their disposal, but it also means that they’re in a weaker position than ever before. Many of the Soviet Union’s most tyrannical measures were instituted not when it was at its strongest, but when it was starting to fall. Tyrants becoming more tyrannical is usually a sign that they are desperate to hold on to power that is slipping away.
Everything you just wrote is the diametric opposite of reality. The FBI does not care if they were caught on tape with their hands in the cookie jar. Even if such a tape exists, the MSM will bury it. Thinking it will protect Trump in court ignores the fact that similarly solid evidence didn’t keep the courts from aiding the coup against him.
As for Trump’s loyalty, tell that to the hundreds of his supporters imprisoned in his name for January 6. He could have pardoned them before leaving office but left them to rot. Instead, he released thousands of black felons onto the streets.
If the swamp couldn’t touch him, Trump would still be president right now. What may be providential is that he’s not.
“As for Trump’s loyalty, tell that to the hundreds of his supporters imprisoned in his name for January 6. He could have pardoned them before leaving office but left them to rot.”
Pardoning them would have removed even the limited Republican Congressional and Senate support that he had during his impeachment trial, which was already barely enough to prevent him from being convicted. He would have been convicted in his impeachment and sent to jail for inciting an insurrection. The intelligence agencies would have tracked down thousands of other Trump supporters who were at the January 6 rally (using cell phone data) to arrest in retaliation for the ones that would have been pardoned. It would have been a suicide move; sometimes it’s necessary to live to fight another day.
That’s the problem with parroting talking points you hear online without stopping to think first. If you had, you’d have seen how the argument negates itself.
If a system is corrupt enough to tell the President “We’re illegally imprisoning and torturing these 300 people, and if you pardon them, we’ll imprison you and thousands more,” it is too corrupt to be bargained with. There are no checks to prevent it from prosecuting the President and his followers anyway.
Which is what we are seeing happen now. The FBI raided an ex-president’s home. Then they stopped a sitting congressman in transit and seized his phone. Leftist influencers are now calling for ordinary Trump voters to be arrested and crushed and their children orphaned. Who’s going to stop them? The same Republicans who threatened to convict Trump if he’d pardoned those same people?
The day the system proved itself illegitimate was the day Trump should have stood and fought (peacefully). Running to fight another day turned into just running. Now he’ll be jailed anyway. And so will many of his supporters.
Defending him now requires the same rationalization battered wives use to justify their abuse. It serves no one.
“Now he’ll be jailed anyway. And so will many of his supporters.”
The surface-level events would seem to indicate the likelihood of that happening, but I still believe that there is something more at play. I have experienced many events in my own life that I believe to be miraculous; not in a blatantly supernatural way like the parting the Red Sea, but events coming together for good in a perfect way that is too unlikely – and too frequent – for me to believe them to be anything less than the hand of God. And I see the same types of patterns in the events of the last few years.
For instance, the recent repeal of Roe v. Wade would not have occurred if Ruth Bader Ginsberg were still on the Supreme Court, nor if she had been replaced with someone picked by Joe Biden. And she died just in the nick of time to be replaced with Amy Coney Barrett. Due to the tricky and contentious nature of the appointment process, it is very possible that if she had died only weeks or perhaps even days later, the process to replace her would have been been dragged out or postponed until Biden was in office (much like how Obama’s Supreme Court pick Merrick Garland didn’t make it onto the court and Neil Gorsuch was appointed instead). So the timing of her death was just as if she was mercifully allowed the maximum time possible to live (and therefore have the opportunity to repent of her sins and seek salvation) that would not result in her living long enough to prevent this year’s repeal of Roe v. Wade. Mere chance? Maybe. But I suspect otherwise.
Likewise, many incidents surrounding Trump bear what appear to me to be signs of Providence. For that reason, I am more optimistic than you regarding the events of the upcoming years and Trump’s role in them, despite his many flaws (God can, and often does, use the most foolish things to confound the wise).
Of course, it is entirely possible that I am seeing things that aren’t truly there and being betrayed by wishful thinking. I do not believe this to be the case, but I admit that it is a possibility. The one thing that I can say for certain is that time will tell.
