RECENTLY,<\/strong> I stood in Las Vegas and spoke. Heroes were there\u2014Rudy Giuliani, Captain Chris Kuehne, Lara Logan, others. They told of the government\u2019s oppressive fist on their lives. Giuliani, hit with a 148-million-dollar verdict for speaking of rigged elections. A corrupt judge barred his evidence. Truth stayed locked away.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Captain Kuehne, a Marine, a veteran, carried scars from bombs and shrapnel from his defense of our nation. His door splintered under the biggest SWAT raid of the J6ers.\u00a0 Dozens of FBI marauders invaded his home, bringing his mind back to war-torn regions beset with Islamic terrorists.\u00a0 His wife, pregnant, and his four-year-old son faced gun barrels, red laser dots on their skin. Kuehne was caged by men that swore the same oath he did.\u00a0 His wife lost their unborn child, broken by the government\u2019s boots.\u00a0 Crippling legal bills have followed.\u00a0 Consider helping them get back on their feet here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their stories haunt me.\u00a0 I\u2019m no stranger to lawfare and death threats.\u00a0 So, I feel a certain kinship.\u00a0 But to exercise the demons holding a place between my ears, I\u2019ve crossed 49 states in three years, sounding the warning. People ask what to do with the vestiges of a weaponized government clinging like squatters to a building newly repossessed by a landlord that has been away for four years.\u00a0 The landlord is Trump. The building is our temple.\u00a0 America.<\/p>\n

I say \u201ctreason\u201d and point to the law\u2019s punishment. The press twists my words, call me dangerous, and shame anyone that speaks similar words.\u00a0 Words that pinpoint what they have done.\u00a0 To speak the words treason, invasion, or rebellion, hits them like a spell, cutting through their black magic insurrection.\u00a0 They hate the light of truth that repels their lie-filled projection.\u00a0 They hate when the scalpel is pointed in their direction, cutting open their rot for the world to see.\u00a0 I say those words must burn on every American\u2019s tongue until Giuliani and Kuehne see justice.<\/p>\n

Treason. Invasion. Rebellion.\u00a0 Say them with me class.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, here is the speech I gave, titled \u201cMr. President, Look to Lincoln and Act: Arrests, Tribunals, and War Powers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 UNTIL THE CULPRITS<\/strong> behind the rigged election of 2020 are held to account, our nation will continue to bleed, its heart stabbed by betrayal. Electronic poll books twist voter names, erasing the living, conjuring ghosts. Tabulators hum, flipping votes like a crooked gambler. Hackers breach election systems, rewriting truth with lies. Algorithms churn impossible numbers, defying reason, mocking the people\u2019s will. Election night screens flash as a cruel charade. NGOs funnel dark money, stuffing ballots like leaves in a storm.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security and its splinter groups, whether the CIA or FBI, orchestrated treason alongside foreign hands\u2014nation-states plotting to gut our republic. In my humble opinion, at least three-quarters of Congress and judges, their names on fraudulent ballots, stand as hollow shells, their legitimacy dead.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump stands at the edge of it all, staring at two futures.\u00a0 A Republic in ruin if he doesn\u2019t see the draining of the swamp through.\u00a0 Or, the culmination of greatest Whitehat operation ever imagined, providing America with the chance to experience its greatest renaissance.\u00a0 What will it take to fix our elections in the next calendar year and imprison those who tried to put a bullet in the President\u2019s head and the nation\u2019s heart?<\/p>\n

What are the answers to such rebellion?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the past five years, President Abraham Lincoln\u2019s ghost looms large. He was presented with a similar choice. His 1861 suspension of \u201chabeas corpus\u201d was the tool wielded, a very dangerous tool. \u00a0I can imagine him saying \u201cI will not let our country splinter and fall into a slaver\u2019s hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in the year of our Lord, 2025, to speak of suspending habeas corpus, is to watch Republican paper tigers and Conservative Inc. desperately fall over themselves, fleeing the adult\u2019s table.\u00a0 They must get away from the one thing required to end the slaver\u2019s charade.\u00a0 It\u2019s not safe for clicks, follows, and views.\u00a0They\u2019ve mastered avoiding the third rail.\u00a0 They serve the almighty algorithm.\u00a0 They play at patriot games that have left so many reputations in tatters.\u00a0 And the kids of real patriots, have no future until there is a deep state reckoning.<\/p>\n

The Constitution expressly permits suspension of habeas corpus\u2014Article I, Section 9\u2014when rebellion or invasion strikes.\u00a0 So, I ask, do we not have both, even now?\u00a0 It\u2019s easy to breathe a sigh of relief now that Trump is in, and Biden is out.\u00a0 But just eight short months ago, we saw the culmination of millions of invaders let into the country.<\/p>\n

Trump knows we also have a digital rebellion contained in our election code, the modern day Fifth column.\u00a0 November 3, 2020, was the coup without blood.\u00a0 January 6th began the hunt for all that had courage to say out loud what their eyes could see, what their ears could hear.\u00a0 They have weathered the storm for four long years, restored to life like Lazarus, upon Trump\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

But the invaders at the southern border were not hidden.\u00a0 We saw our screens flash with 10 million, 20 million, who knows how many, clearing a path throughout the heartland, on planes chartered by our own government.\u00a0 A slap to the face of Americans.\u00a0 The tyrant so comfortable, he cares no more about the optics of even pretending he cares.\u00a0 A path that allowed the invaders to obtain a driver\u2019s license with no push back at your local DMV.<\/p>\n

And because of the Motor Voter Law signed into existence by Bill Clinton, which automatically adds those doing DMV business to the voter rolls, hundreds of thousands of fake ballots were generated and deposited into drop boxes across our country, destroying the sanctity of our sacred right to vote.\u00a0 The illegals didn\u2019t vote at a polling location.\u00a0 But a ballot assigned to the invader was generated out of thin air.\u00a0 And it scanned as true as anything submitted by an American citizen through the election black boxes.<\/p>\n

Yes, the force of nature known as Trump prevailed this last November.\u00a0 But how many down ballot races were lost to this digital and illegal alien invasion?\u00a0 Conservative estimates say \u201cWe the People\u201d were cheated out of eight U.S. senate seats, and 30 house seats.\u00a0 Nevada\u2019s Sam Brown and Arizona\u2019s Kari Lake were both casualties of this fraudulent system.\u00a0 So was a super majority in the Senate.<\/p>\n

Under these ever-present examples, I submit, Trump can lawfully suspend the writ, jail the offenders\u2014whether at DHS, the CIA, the NGO schemers and election officials turned traitors\u2014until the nation breathes again.\u00a0 The path is narrow.\u00a0 The blade sharp and ready to cut if not carried out with precision.<\/p>\n

You see there is one seminal Supreme court case that provides a map of where a Commander-in-Chief\u2019s power starts and stops in a scenario such as ours. The Youngstown Steel decision.\u00a0 Specifically, Justice Robert Jackson\u2019s concurrence. President Truman seized the steel mills to keep war\u2019s machines grinding. The Supreme Court, six voices strong, struck back, declaring his act beyond the Constitution\u2019s edge.\u00a0 Jackson, a sharp-minded jurist, former attorney general, and Nuremberg prosecutor, warned of executive overreach while allowing room for crisis-driven action.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll endeavor to simplify what was written.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s strength peaks if Congress backs him, their powers fused. It wanes in the twilight of congressional silence, where urgency might justify bold moves. It collapses if Congress fights him, leaving only his Article II powers, frail against constitutional checks.<\/p>\n

So, I ask you with three-quarters of Congress tainted, with ghouls like Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Jaime Raskin, and Adam Swalwell all having sold out to their Marxist handlers in the rebellion, can Trump operate at the peak of his strength?\u00a0Can he rely on Congress? Has Senator John Thune helped Trump with recess appointments?<\/p>\n

The answer is no.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This means Trump must claim the twilight of Congress\u2019 silence or anticipate defiance.\u00a0What could Trump do in such twilight?\u00a0Could he rest on his Article II powers alone?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a question of whether Trump could act.\u00a0 It\u2019s a matter of whether Trump can see the problem as clearly as Lincoln.\u00a0 It\u2019s a matter of life and death to our Republic.\u00a0After Trump survived a silent coup, multiple assassination attempts, he must wield evidence\u2014hacked systems, laundered cash, impossible vote spikes\u2014to stand before history. The evidence exists.<\/p>\n

But the producers of that evidence have been investigated, indicted, prosecuted, disbarred, and some, like Tina Peters, have been imprisoned.\u00a0 The sixth complaint and investigation to strip me of my law license was initiated for merely visiting Tina Peters in prison.\u00a0 That is how petty and evil these demons are. The corrupt courts navigated by Marc Elias and Perkins Couie, will push back.\u00a0 The people, their trust thin as ice after the Epstein files debacle, will turn on Trump if they smell tyranny.<\/p>\n

Lincoln\u2019s precedent burns brightest. In 1861, using his commander-in-chief powers, he jailed men like John Merryman, a Maryland militia officer and farmer who burned bridges to aid the Confederacy. Roger Taney, Chief Justice and author of Dred Scott, ruled from a circuit court that Lincoln\u2019s suspension was unconstitutional, insisting only Congress held that power.<\/p>\n

Lincoln, undeterred, asked if one law\u2019s fall should doom all the rest. By 1863, Congress passed the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, retroactively blessing his moves.\u00a0 Under the Youngstown framework, Lincoln went from his lowest ebb of power to his peak as soon as Congress acted.\u00a0 In the current landscape, the money laundering entities known as \u201cActBlue\u201d and \u201cWinRed\u201d are aiding and abetting a newfound Uniparty confederacy, bankrolling the swamp and legalizing election fraud.\u00a0 They have lined the coffers of the legislature, buying their silence and much more if a favor is called in.<\/p>\n

Lincoln did more than arrest John Merryman. As a state bordering Washington, D.C., Maryland held immense strategic importance. The state was deeply divided, with a significant portion of its population sympathetic to the Confederacy due to its slaveholding economy and proximity to Virginia, which had seceded on April 17, 1861. Despite this, Maryland remained in the Union, creating a tense internal conflict.\u00a0President Lincoln, fearing Maryland\u2019s secession would isolate the nation\u2019s capital, acted decisively.<\/p>\n

Ten days after Virginia seceded, Lincoln surgically suspended habeas corpus along the rail line from Washington to Philadelphia, allowing military arrests of suspected secessionists without immediate trial. This move quelled the immediate threat, as Union forces secured key areas, with Maryland\u2019s legislature ultimately voting to stay in the Union on April 29, 1861, though under duress. The crisis underscored Maryland\u2019s precarious balance between Union loyalty and Confederate sympathy, driving Lincoln\u2019s controversial but effective response.<\/p>\n

Lincoln\u2019s net caught thousands, including Clement Vallandigham, a lawyer and democrat congressman, who denounced the Civil War as unconstitutional, opposed emancipation, and called for peace with the Confederacy. In other words, he wanted the slaves to continue wearing chains.\u00a0 His 1863 speech in Mount Vernon, Ohio, drew the ire of Ambrose Burnside, a Union general.\u00a0 Burnside, issued General Order No. 38, banning disloyal talk. He arrested Vallandigham, tried him by military tribunal, and convicted him.\u00a0 The Supreme Court avoided review of the use of military tribunals, cementing Lincoln\u2019s wartime power.<\/p>\n

I can think of many congressmen that Trump\u2019s generals should be evaluating for a similar tribunal.<\/p>\n

History offers more echoes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1871, Ulysses S. Grant, the Union general turned president, targeted the Ku Klux Klan in South Carolina, where terror choked Reconstruction. Congress, through the Ku Klux Klan Act, let him suspend habeas corpus in nine counties. Federal troops arrested hundreds, crushing the Klan\u2019s spine. No court overturned it; the crisis demanded action.<\/p>\n

In 1902, the Philippines, under U.S. rule, saw Adna Chaffee, a seasoned general, suspend habeas corpus in rebel provinces to jail guerrillas during the Philippine-American War\u2019s aftermath. The Constitution\u2019s reach blurred in territories, but the act stood, a blunt tool for order.\u00a0 More recently, the Philippines have sued Smartmatic, the election vendor, after learning that the software is a cheater\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n

After 9\/11, George W. Bush, a deep state prince under the control of his father, never suspended habeas but dodged it for Guantanamo Bay detainees, labeling them enemy combatants beyond U.S. soil. Yaser Hamdi, a U.S. citizen captured in Afghanistan, and Shafiq Rasul, a British citizen detained there, challenged their detentions. I don\u2019t know of their real guilt in the grand scheme of things, as two buildings were hit, but three collapsed in free fall.<\/p>\n

What I do know is that we should be cataloging how the CEOs of Dominion, Smartmatic, ES&S, TotalVote, and countless others are designated.\u00a0 Do we count them as digital enemy combatants that have disrupted the elections of a hundred nations? Or fraudsters that should be tried by the DOJ in our civilian courts?\u00a0 I ask because time is of the essence.\u00a0 If we do not clean up elections through Trump\u2019s national emergency power, the swamp will not only grow back, but it will strangle the remaining life of MAGA.<\/p>\n

Trump faces a beast unlike any. Lincoln battled rifled muskets; Trump fights a digital plague, a cancer in the nation\u2019s veins. The Department of Homeland security\u2019s hand was in all of it, which brands their actions as treason.\u00a0 Foreign collusion with Serbia and Venezuela\u2014have facilitated this invasion by stealth.\u00a0 Nicholas Maduro is now being hunted with a 50-million-dollar reward.\u00a0 Is this move a sign of his dirty hands steering our elections?<\/p>\n

The wholesale subversion of our Republic mirrors the Confederate threat, though no soldiers march. The scale of it all: The vast majority of Congress, judges, nominees, are suspect. The government, the people\u2019s voice, teeters. Yet, Justice Jackson\u2019s framework lights the way.<\/p>\n

When the time comes, if Congress, or its untainted remnant, passes a modern-day suspension act to deal with the culprits of our rigged elections, Trump\u2019s power peaks, as Lincoln\u2019s did in 1863. If Congress stays mute, crippled or complicit, he can act in the twilight, claiming necessity. If Congress resists, its legitimacy in doubt, Trump risks the lowest ebb, facing judicial fire.\u00a0 He is no stranger to fire, real or metaphorical, as he is already dealing with a judicial coup where black robed activists have tried to make it illegal to deport terrorists.<\/p>\n

Evidence will be Trump\u2019s shield. Cybersecurity reports from DNI\u2019s Tulsi Gabbard\u2014of hacked poll books, modems in tabulators, flaws in Dominion or ES&S systems\u2014prove the breach. Vote spikes defying exit polls, bellwether counties flipping impossibly, scream fraud. Financial trails, NGOs laundering foreign cash, tie the plot to enemies abroad.<\/p>\n

Trump must lay it bare, show the people the rot, to keep trust from breaking.\u00a0 And the evidence must come from sources that President Trump now commands.\u00a0 Whether Space Force or the NSA.\u00a0 Secure a FISA warrant and obtain the cyber forensics that mere civilians such as myself could never obtain.\u00a0 Put the questions over our rigged elections to rest.<\/p>\n

Release evidence. Every. Single. Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I say drown the CIA backed legacy media.\u00a0 Waterboard them with literal truth until their lying lungs collapse.<\/p>\n

With these actions, Trump can act.\u00a0 Wisdom suggests he has been acting this whole time.\u00a0 How else did he return against all odds to his post as Commander-in-Chief?<\/p>\n

If necessary, history presents the way to lawfully suspend habeas corpus, jail the architects of a rigged election system going back decades.\u00a0 Military tribunals for the architects and hitmen. Lesser criminal acts can be tried by Pam Bondi and the DOJ.\u00a0 To bring hope in just one short year will require a symphony of both military and civilian justice.<\/p>\n

There is no need for political vendettas, just those guilty of our nation\u2019s highest crimes, held until trials find truth.<\/p>\n

Risks loom large. If judges lack legitimacy, their rulings may falter, and they\u2019ll fight to keep power. The people, divided, could see Trump a tyrant, not a savior. Lincoln\u2019s actions sparked fury; Trump\u2019s enemies could roar louder. Without proof\u2014ironclad, public\u2014he risks collapse.\u00a0 We have the evidence, and Trump has the bully pulpit to shove it down the throats of our nation\u2019s enemies.<\/p>\n

History whispers warnings. Andrew Jackson, a fiery general and president, defied courts in the 1830s.\u00a0 Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, interning Japanese Americans, the act later deemed a national shame. Both show the cost of excess. Trump must move with precision, echoing Lincoln\u2019s focus, not Roosevelt\u2019s sweeping power grab.<\/p>\n

But the Civil War casts the longest shadow. Lincoln, the rail-splitter who rose to greatness, jailed thousands, yet the republic stood. Grant, the stoic general, crushed the Klan with a targeted suspension. \u00a0Each time, crisis justified action, but only if power knelt to law in the end.<\/p>\n

Trump must choose in the months to come. He risks the tyrant\u2019s label, but if he waits, he risks something more.\u00a0 The Republic\u2019s heart will stop. \u00a0Justice Jackson\u2019s words urge caution but allow boldness when the nation\u2019s life hangs thin. Evidence, openness, a steady hand\u2014these will carry Trump, as they carried Lincoln.<\/p>\n
