Dear Patriots,
Fake News and social media have been lit up all weekend by the prospect of President Trump being arrested.
We urge calm if this should happen. We also suggest that you do not participate in any protests. Be careful what you say on Twitter and Facebook.
The so-called Justice Department is still hunting down people who attended the January 6 rally, three years later. We do not want any more people to be trapped by this miscarriage of justice.
Seek out and share all the information you can. Stay peaceful. You may want to contact your U.S. Senate and House representatives to voice to them your opinion. And, of course, pray for our country.
1-The politically driven Manhattan District Attorney’s case is weak, already rejected by the Justice Department, and outside of statute of limitations.

Indicting Trump Would Be Targeted Injustice
QUOTE: Does anyone actually believe that if someone else were accused of paying hush money to avoid a sex scandal in the manner that Mr. Trump is suspected of doing, he would be prosecuted?
When I was coming of age in the 1950s Southern prosecutors would target civil rights workers and search for any possible violation of the law, no matter how technical. If they discovered or invented a violation, they would indict, prosecute, convict and sentence the target.
Often the violation would be of an obscure statute that had never before been deployed. To paraphrase the late Justice Robert Jackson, these anachronistic statutes and precedents lie around “like loaded weapons” ready to be selectively enforced against political enemies.
That, precisely, is what we are now seeing with the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, targeting the former president and current candidate, Donald Trump. Does anyone actually believe that if someone else were accused of paying hush money to avoid a sex scandal in the manner that Mr. Trump is suspected of doing, he would be prosecuted?
After spending months searching the criminal code for a law that Mr. Trump might be accused of violating, Mr. Bragg has apparently landed on a highly questionable campaign contribution provision that has never before been used in a comparable situation.
Equal protection of the law requires equal application and non-application of criminal statutes. Mr. Bragg would be violating that important principle if he seeks a grand jury indictment based on what now appears to be the slim evidence and even slimmer legal basis.
2- There is a lot of fear and hate to spread around from the left.
The vindictive prosecution of Donald Trump is based in Democrats’ hatred of his supporters
QUOTE: The burning need of the Democrat establishment and their cronies in media to prosecute Donald Trump for the crime of becoming President has reached a fever pitch this week. And it’s not just Trump they hate, but anyone who supports him.
This coming indictment from Alvin Bragg, the Soros-backed District Attorney for the City of New York, is the last and cheapest phase of a full-scale prosecution by Democrats to find something, anything, to pin on Donald Trump.
It’s likely that the felony charges brought by Bragg will be thrown out, as the claim that the pay-out to Stormy Daniels is simply the basis for further crimes is spurious, at best. But a conviction is not even what Bragg is looking for.
Bragg just wants to see Trump in hand cuffs. They want the image of Trump entering into police custody, they want to feel the power of finally having the former president where they can prosecute him. And everyone knows it.
This obviously political prosecution shows the lie of the past seven years. They hate Trump, they hate his supporters, and they will do anything—even fabricate absurd indictments, just like they fabricated absurd impeachment charges based on lies—to eradicate his vision, and his supporters’ interests, from American public life.
3- Even in heavily blue parts of the country, they oppose the current curriculum in public schools.
Majority of Fairfax County parents oppose gender ideology—but the schools are pushing it anyway
QUOTE: The rhetoric around radical gender ideology being taught to our children in educational institutions throughout the country tends to be framed as it being in alignment with most Democrat voters’ feelings surrounding this effort to indoctrinate. But it’s just not true.
Fairfax County, Virginia has been one of the most publicly contentious districts in our county where parents and school administrators have been clashing over the appropriateness of what is being taught to their children, including the more radical versions of sex and gender teachings.
In a recently released survey by Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), more than 84 percent of Fairfax County parents surveyed do not support gender-combined sex education, also known as “Family Life Education,” in grades 4 to 8. The survey also showed 3 percent of respondents were “mixed” about the proposal, 1 percent were “unsure” and 11 percent supported the move.
However, despite the landslide opposition to “Family Life Education,” the Family Life Committee still plans to recommend and push for a vote proposing these classes.
“The entire process is yet again another example of FCPS pretending to care about community input while running forward with its predetermined narrative. Another example of why the community has lost trust in FCPS,” stated the Fairfax County Parents Association.
What makes this poll stand out, even more, is that Fairfax County residents voted overwhelmingly for Democrat President Biden during the 2020 election with 69.9 percent of the vote.
4- While ignored by the Fake News, the revelations about how the left banned together to deny Americans the truth continues to be uncovered.
It is well worth your time to read through the latest information from journalist Matt Taibbi, who is still reporting on the The Twitter Files.

Twitter Files: The ‘Great Covid-19 Lie Machine’ Worked to Censor ‘True Stories’
QUOTE: In the latest Twitter Files report published on Friday, journalist and author Matt Taibbi revealed that Twitter partnered with the Virality Project, which warned the social media platform that “true stories that could fuel hesitancy,” complained that “anti-vaccine” accounts were retweeting the CDC, and ironically ran searches for the term “surveillance state” while looking for more information to censor.
“The release of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s spring 2020 emails via the Freedom of Information Act has been used to exacerbate distrust in Dr. Fauci,” the Virality Project lamented in June 2021.
The Virality Project is “a sweeping, cross-platform effort to monitor billons of social media posts by Stanford University, federal agencies, and a slew of (often state-funded) NGOs,” Taibbi noted.
“We’ve since learned the Virality Project in 2021 worked with government to launch a pan-industry monitoring plan for Covid-related content,” Taibbi said. “At least six major Internet platforms were ‘onboarded’ to the same JIRA ticketing system, daily sending millions of items for review.”
The journalist added that the Virality Project had “knowingly targeted true material and legitimate political opinion, while often being factually wrong itself.”
“As Orwellian proof-of-concept, the Virality Project was a smash success,” he said. “Government, academia, and an oligopoly of would-be corporate competitors organized quickly behind a secret, unified effort to control political messaging.”
5- We have mentioned the story about the Vermont high school which refused to play in a tournament against a team who had a male player pretending to be a female. In a perfect example of the lengths the left will go to force their agenda on everyone, this week the ruling body, The Vermont Principals’ Association, voted unanimously to ban the entire school and all of their sports programs from competing with other schools. This ban includes science fairs and spelling bees.
The ruling is designed to make other schools shut up and do what the left wants.
Vermont religious school that refused to play team with trans player banned from sporting events
QUOTE:
A private Christian school that forfeited a girls’ basketball game rather than play against a team with a transgender player has been banned from Vermont school sporting events.
The Vermont Principals’ Association, which oversees school athletics, said Monday afternoon that Mid Vermont Christian School in Quechee will no longer be eligible to participate in sports and other sponsored activities.
The decision was announced after a Monday morning meeting of the Vermont Principals’ Association executive committee, during which members decided “that policies have been violated at the school level and thus there is an immediate determination of ineligibility for Mid-Vermont Christian in VPA sanctioned activities and tournaments going forward.”
Specifically, Mid Vermont violated the organization’s anti-discrimination and gender identity policies, the organization told the school in a letter of ineligibility. Those policies allow athletes to play on the team that is “consistent with their gender identity” and prohibit discrimination “based on a student’s actual or perceived sex and gender.”
In addition to sports, the Vermont Principals’ Association sponsors extracurricular events such as spelling bees and science fairs.
