I took a break from politics on Sunday, so this is going to be a little light.
Maybe.
There’s a lot of good stuff.
First off:
Federal Judge Orders Appointment of Special Master to Oversee Documents from FBI Mar-a-Lago Raid
Within the ruling [pg 9] Judge Cannon outlines the issues at the heart of the legal matter, including the government taking President Trump’s personal medical records which has nothing to do with the nature of the warrant.
“According to the Privilege Review Team’s Report, the seized materials include medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information. … The Government also has acknowledged that it seized some “[p]ersonal effects without evidentiary value” and, by its own estimation, upwards of 500 pages of material potentially subject to attorney-client privilege.”
The DOJ was previously questioned in court about justice dept leaks to media creating an unfair and prejudicial bias against President Trump. The DOJ lawyers denied leaking yet admitted the media reports were evidence that someone within the organization was leaking information to the media, thereby creating a framework of public opinion the defendant cannot easily refute. Cannon writes:
“the Court takes into account the undeniably unprecedented nature of the search of a former President’s residence; Plaintiff’s inability to examine the seized materials in formulating his arguments to date; Plaintiff’s stated reliance on the customary cooperation between former and incumbent administrations regarding the ownership and exchange of documents; the power imbalance between the parties; the importance of maintaining institutional trust; and the interest in ensuring the integrity of an orderly process amidst swirling allegations of bias and media leaks.”
And they were ticked off that President Trump went “judge shopping.”
Can you say HYPOCRITES?
Some things were posted over the weekend in the comments that deserve extra time:
An Open Letter to Joe Biden
My name is Royce White. I’m an American citizen, born and raised in the 32nd state of the union. I’m a Christian, I am a Black man and yes I am a MAGA Republican. Although given the current state of politics, it may not be fair to call us Republicans at all. There are no Democrats or Republicans anymore, Only Globalists and Nationalists.
On this day I am more concerned than ever about the future of this country. Yet for many reasons I feel equally blessed. I don’t believe I could’ve been born or lived in a more fitting time for the way God built me. All the forces of evil, all the spirit of corruption, has coalesced into a megalithic wrecking ball with spikes and an AI guidance system. This evil, this corruption infects all our institutions, starting with the church and then the academies, and our politics downstream from such moral hazard. It has left blood across the entire breadth of our society. While such an outlook is certainly grim, still it provides the circumstance for men with sacred honor and national honor, to stand in testimony of the truth. To bear witness under one of the greatest incentives to remain silent. That incentive isn’t the barrel of a gun or the blade of a knife, but the threat of a government that doubles and triples down on lies.
This is where I find myself right at home, at peace and in my natural way. This is the greatest honor I could hope for. The fact that the highest office of the land is entrenched in this set of lies, is just a bonus. Not only do I get to bear witness, but the stakes couldn’t get any higher. You have betrayed the office you currently hold, you have betrayed the oath you took, you have betrayed the American people. You have betrayed America herself. You are not the President of the United States, but a traitor to the republic. Now on national television, under a beautiful night’s sky made to look especially ominous by a dramatic backdrop of red lights, you double down on this treachery and tell the American people that MAGA republicans are domestic terrorists. Artifice!
I write this with the full understanding, that given your speech last night, this letter may land me in the crosshairs of the next DOJ witch-hunt. I go forward anyway because the surrendering of our right and need to speak the truth, is the very point where America ceases to be what it was designed to be.

I Am a MAGA Republican, and Donald Trump is My Weapon
It would be impossible to support Main Street USA, a popular talking point, and still support the Paris climate treaty, the transpacific trade partnership (TPP) or the transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP).
To avoid the contradictions most democrat and republican politicians avoid discussing their national economic policy. It is an unspoken rule within the billionaire club and donor game, an economic code of omerta amid most political candidates.
President Trump broke the rule and even went so far as to campaign on an America-First economic policy agenda. That core outlook forms the Make America Great Again foundation. MAGA is based on a national economic policy outlook that determines every other national policy as carried by President Trump.
While most Americans may not be able to articulate how the national economic policy impacts them, almost every American feels the consequences through gasoline prices, energy prices, employment, wage rates and the expenses within their everyday lives. To try and hide this reality, often media and economic analysts will say the U.S. President has no control over gasoline prices; however, this is unequivocally false.
Clearing the tabs….
Ten Ways to Change a Liberal’s Mind
This “orange man bad” mantra is often called “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It effectively shuts down all communication between disagreeing sides and prevents any kind of meaningful dialogue, even between good friends or family members. Even intelligent people who are suffering greatly from Biden/liberal policies, through loss of jobs, high gas and oil prices, rapid inflation, high taxes, or curbs on religious freedoms, won’t be able to change their minds and consider voting for a conservative or moderate candidate once he is somehow linked to Donald Trump.
They say, “If Trump is for it, then I am against it” even if that means they pay $5 a gallon for gas, can’t get formula for their babies, or can’t afford to heat their homes this winter.
Why does this happen? How do people make up their minds, and why do they stubbornly refuse to change them?
You would think that people would evaluate important issues logically, like a math equation where 2+2=4, but this is not true with beliefs, especially when politics is involved.
Conservatives React to Biden Calling Them a ‘Threat’ to the Nation: ‘I Go to Work… Pay My Taxes and Don’t Break the Law’
When Must a Good Citizen Become a Dissident?
Recent polling shows that nearly 80% of Americans believe that President Trump would have won re-election had voters “known the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop.” In other words, the Deep State stole an election. This isn’t a huge revelation for most readers here, but it is a huge revelation for those who have stubbornly refused to admit how corrupt and rotten the 2020 election was. Little by little, truth overpowers deceit. Let there be light!
In the sunshine business, our mission is to speak truth to power over and over again, much like a resolute punisher bringing down the lash against those who wound us with their lies. None of us alone must harbor the strength to complete the task at hand, for as long as another rises to give timely support and respite to any one weary arm, the lashings of truth will continue. That is truth’s power and purpose: it cannot be bargained away or buried in the darkness for long. It lives whether its tormentors like it or not, and all we must do is recognize it, protect it, and sing its blessings from one shadow to the next, with courage and conviction, until the brightness it brings becomes glaring.
How do you collapse a corrupt system? By flooding it with oceans of luminous truth.
The Morning Briefing: Democrats’ Unhinged Attacks Are Only Making Trump Stronger
We here on the right like to say that Donald Trump “broke” the Democrats when he won the 2016 presidential election and permanently vanquished Granny Maojackets to her box of breakfast Franzia in Chappaqua. It’s so much more intense than that though. Trump didn’t just break them, it’s like he’s become their entire reason for existence.
It hasn’t been enough for them that they played fast and loose with election laws in 2020 and forced Trump out of office; they’re fixated on removing him from public life altogether.
None of what they’re doing is working.
Do leftists really expect us to vote to destroy the country?
Anti-liberty leftists are masters at propaganda. For the last few weeks, they’ve been busy in their Ministry of Truth pushing the same old August-September psy-op polls. They are working like madmen to divert our attention from the sheer disaster that is the Biden regime.
Never mind that the whole “choice” question is being returned to the states and the people. Anti-liberty leftists want you to forget about that in a flurry of Orwellian double-talk because that’s all they have to cling to power. They’re using any excuse to bring it up because all they have are perverse comparisons with freedom.
They don’t care if our society is being destroyed as long as they can kill a child 5 seconds from birth. We’re not sure why that’s a priority for them when the world is coming apart.
Commentary: Trump Took a Sledgehammer to the Establishment. America Needs Him to Do It Again in 2024
The “lying” and “pomposity” surely represent the tactics of a Democrat/media complex who will stop at nothing — including using the power of the state to persecute their political enemies. President Joe Biden’s reprehensible speech in Philadelphia all but confirmed it.
Unfortunately, the “group think” stuff is Republican owned and operated, especially as it pertains to former President Donald Trump. How else to explain a growing chorus from the GOP elite — from editorial boards at the Wall Street Journal to the New York Post — to “move beyond Trump?”
Indeed, the elephant in the establishment’s living room is almost a palpable desire to return to the good old days of “compassionate conservatism” by beltway Republicans who have grown tired of protestors on their lawn.
Confessions of a domestic extremist
While I don’t own a MAGA hat or t-shirt, I have to confess I have been a MAGA sympathizer. I once even contributed to the campaign of the Bad Orange Man. Sorry if that makes anyone uncomfortable.
According to the President, we in the MAGA cadre are really bad apples. Many of us shop at Walmart, Kroger, Dollar General, Target, Food Lion, Amazon.com, and many other retailers looking for groceries, clothing, furniture, toys, and other supplies we can use to overthrow the Republic. Occasionally, we stop at Subway, McDonald’s, Burger King, Applebee’s, or any of a thousand other restaurants to meet our contacts in the MAGA hierarchy and get a bite to eat.
My wife and I have been known to attend church once in a while. I never realized that the after-service lunches were natural magnets for domestic extremists. Those Jesus people going on about universal peace and love are just the worst.
Conservative Twitter Responds to Biden’s Obscene Claim They Are a “Threat to the Very Soul of This Nation”
Survey Finds Self-Hating White Liberals Are Getting Progressively More Delusional
The headline of the day:
Hillary Clinton Reveals Why She Always Wears Pantsuits: ‘Suggestive’ Photos Were Used To Sell Lingerie
Yeah…no.
Tweet hopper:
Ignore the habit and clericals on the first two. It’s the message that’s important.
And Missouri’s establishment hack governor wants to inflict this on us.
Meme hopper:
Something to remember, always.
Per the boss’s instruction:
I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.
Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:1-11
1When one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? 2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, matters pertaining to this life! 4If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church? 5I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no man among you wise enough to decide between members of the brotherhood, 6but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? 7To have lawsuits at all with one another is defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8But you yourselves wrong and defraud, and that even your own brethren. 9Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Amen brother.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
