For ordinary mortals, a raid conducted by the Department of Justice against your home would be career-ending. But President Trump again exceeds expectations by fighting back against the tactics of the Deep State. The Deep State is hopping mad, joined by allies in the liberal media. A chorus of unjustified criticism has reverberated from Never-Trumpers, including former Attorney General Bill Barr.
The unprecedented FBI raid on Donald Trump’s home is one of several ways the Deep State is trying to destroy Trump’s reputation. Another way is its relentless harassment of Trump’s supporters. Stephen Miller, one of Trump’s finest advisers who was with him for all four years of his presidency, has reportedly been hit with a subpoena to appear before a grand jury. Other top Trump aides have also been required to testify before a grand jury apparently convened to try to indict Trump.
Even Trump’s attorneys have been targeted for retaliation by the Deep State. The sick joke today is that MAGA means “make attorneys get attorneys,” which is what many of Trump’s attorneys have had to do as they get harassed by the Deep State. Even a federal judge who ruled for Trump has received death threats from someone who apparently hates Trump. Although concealed by the liberal media, a woman who left three voicemails threatening the judge was arrested in Houston.
My mentor Phyllis Schlafly wisely counseled me that it is a mistake to go after people personally rather than pointing out the problems with their policies. Unfortunately, few politicos today share Phyllis’s grace and class. Politics has become personal, and the left is all too willing to destroy the lives of anyone who stands in the way of their absolute control.
However, true courage is to acknowledge the personal cost and to charge ahead anyway. Conservatives must continue to speak truth in spite of the threats and attacks. That is the only way to make a lasting difference. They come after us not because we are weak, but because we are strong. Grassroots patriotic action is a threat to the power of the Deep State, which is all the more reason to press forward.
