We are now 17 months into Trump’s second term – the atrocities come almost on a daily basis. The climate of fear in Washington announced by a Republican senator [“We are all afraid”]. Trump perverts the “justice’ system to take revenge on numerous people who only did their jobs pursuing his wrong doings [ “I only need 12,000 votes.”]. It has been said by several people that under Trump “Cruelty is the point.” Upset with protesters, Trump is reported to have asked, “Can’t we just shoot them in the legs?” Some have described the Trump DICTATORSHIP as “a coup.” Trump has surrounded himself with people chosen for their ‘LOYALTY.” A well-known author said of one of those “loyalists”: “X could be one of the figures leading us into a new and violently authoritarian future.” It is well known that a “conservative” think tank provided Trump with a blueprint for his second term – one report found Trump had enacted 53% of that domestic plan. And so VERY much more………………

This post presents excerpts from two articles: “Asylum seekers see same tactics here as in home countries”. [Sonya Funna Evelyn; Minnesota Star Tribune; 6/26/26}. and “A malicious chapter in the history of American justice”. [David French; New York Times; 6/23/26].

1]. “Our clients in Minnesota are primarily asylum-seekers who fled torture. the summer of 2025 they were already warning clinicians that what they were seeing with federal immigration enforcement – masked and armed agents taking people off streets in unmarked vehicles – were the conditions they had seen back in the countries they fled.” [Evelyn: “Asylum seekers…”

2] “..today, as we saw in Minnesota, we are challenged in ways we could not have foreseen back in 1998: The tactics of the most dangerous regimes on Earth are being used on the streets in the U.S. At the same time, the callous withdrawal of American foreign aid funding is resulting in the spread of deadly disease and death; the goodwill benefits of its protective “soft power” gone in an instant.” [Evelyn: ‘asylum seekers..]

*** “There is no king, who, with a sufficient force, is not always ready to make himself absolute.”
[ Thomas Jefferson: 8/13/1786 ]

2] “..the Chicago case is indicative of the fight for justice in the Trump administration. For every high-profile case that goes to the Supreme Court, there are dozens of other, smaller cases in federal courts across the country in which the Trump administration lies, bends the rules, slanders innocent citizens and otherwise abuses the legal system to persecute its political opponents.” [ French: “A malicious chapter…]

8] “..one thing is clear: The federal government has lost the benefit of the doubt. Or, as [judge] Perry said in Chicago, “I do believe deeply in the presumption of regularity and that most government attorneys are doing the best they can to do the right thing. That trust has been broken.”

4] “The indictment was important enough that Todd Blanche, then the deputy attorney general, announced the charges, and they fit perfectly with a MAGA narrative that the real problem on the streets wasn’t with rogue federal officers but with out-of-control leftist activists. – the all-powerful antifa of right-wing fever dreams.” [French]

*** “We have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.” [ Isaiah 26: 15 ]

5] “Prosecutors..had already handed the judge a redacted copy of the transcripts. In other words, they had blacked out key portions of the proceedings. This prompted the federal judge in the case, April Perry, to require the government to produce unredacted copies and to require any prosecutor “who participated in the decision to redact portions of the grand jury transcripts’ to appear before her in person.” [ French: “A malicious chapter…]

6]. “The unredacted transcripts were damning. The judge found that federal prosecutors had behaved improperly in at least three ways. they’d engaged in the forbidden practice of “vouching,” in which prosecutors essentially tell grand jurors to trust them….Prosecutors had also impermissibly spoken to grand jurors outside the jury room….And finally, prosecutors had dismissed from deliberations those grand jurors who had disagreed with the government’s case….To make matters worse, prosecutors had redacted all this evidence. There was an obvious cover-up.” [French]

7} “Don’t think for a moment that the Trump administration’s corruption and incompetence were confined to that case. The Chicago Sun-Times maintains a database of criminal charges related to Operation Midway Blitz, the Trump administration’s immigration immigration crackdown in Chicago, and it’s astounding. Out of more than 30 cases filed so far, two resulted in guilty pleas, five resulted in deferred prosecution agreements [slaps on the wrist], and two are still pending. Twenty-four other cases have failed. Twenty were dismissed. Grand juries refused to indict in at least three, and one resulted in acquittal.” [ French ]

*** “Tyranny is by far the worst of treasons. – The prince who neglects or violates his trust is more a brigand than the robber-chief.” [ Lord Byron ]

1] “NEW: Trump administration takes rare step to quell controversy over prosecutorial misconduct in dropped criminal case against Chicago-area anti-ICE protesters. Feds won’t fight defense demand to pay bill for activist’s legal fees.” Here’s why it’s so notable. In our legal system, prosecutors rarely pay a criminal defendant’s legal fees, even when the government loses the case.. Defendants tend to be reimbursed only when they can prove serious prosecutorial misconduct. It’s even rarer for prosecutors to AGREE to pay those fees. Experienced lawyers will read that tweet and know a single, simple truth. Something very bad went down in Illinois.” [ French ]

3] “On Oct. 23, 2025, a federal grand jury indicted a group of six protesters, including current and former Democratic public officials, charging them with conspiring to ‘injure” a federal officer “in his person or property.” [ French ]

*** “Of all injustice, that is the greatest which goes under the name of law; and of all sorts of tyranny the forcing of the letter of the law against equity, is the most insupportable.” [ Sir Roger L’Estrange ]

[NOTE: Again. – THE test for evaluating the Trump DICTATORSHIP is given YOU in the Preamble: ‘..promote the general Welfare..” YOU tell us; how do Trump DICTATORSHIP policies ‘..promote the general Welfare.., and secure the Blessings of Liberty..” for ordinary Americans, or this country????????? Not in rhetoric – but actual results.]
