Dear john,

Last week, in an unprecedented abuse of power, the FBI, authorized by Attorney General Merrick Garland, raided former President Donald Trump's home. In an official statement, President Trump confirmed that his residence, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, was “under siege, raided and occupied by a large group of FBI agents.”

This chilling incident is reminiscent of third-world countries and banana republics across the globe, not the United States. The American people see this move for what it is, a blatant political hit job against the former President of the United States.

The same FBI that concocted a plot to kidnap Democrat governors before the 2020 election and lied on FISA warrant applications to spy on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, is now attacking President Biden’s most likely challenger in 2024.

Elected Democrats across the country are cheering on this weaponization of our country’s law enforcement agencies in order to crush their enemies. This is beyond dangerous. We must bring the security state to heel.

I sat down with Dr. Sebastian Gorka to discuss how the Department of Justice is out of control.

IRS Hires 87,000 Deep State Agents as Democrats Pass Tax and Spend Boondoggle

As recession, inflation and a harrowing crime wave grip our nation, the Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats are ramming through their inflation inducing bill, the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act,” which will do nothing of the sort.

It’s telling that Democrats are raising taxes and pushing Green New Deal projects during an inflation crisis. It’s even more telling that they’ll soon proceed to hire 87,000 additional IRS agents to harass the American people.

In fact, this number is so large that Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC couldn’t hold them all.

I joined Newsmax last week to discuss the IRS’s latest efforts to fund an equip more agents to tax Americans into oblivion.

Ukrainian Aid Accountability

I joined my colleagues last week to demand greater accountability for the unchecked billions of aid dollars sent to Ukraine. Last week, a report from CBS News showed internal sources in Ukraine estimate that as little as 30 percent of U.S. supplies have made it to the intended target.

I spoke with the DailyWire about this egregious, yet unsurprising episode of spending.
