    no control over where and how NARA stores the Presidential
    records of his Administration.”

• President Trump and Breitbart.com Accused of “Doxxing” FBI Agents Who Signed a Public Document

  A search warrant is a public document. The proof of that is that President Trump was given a copy and encouraged by the intellectual left to make it public. I don’t have any sympathy for anyone involved in this assault on our Republic. While I don’t wish them physical harm, I don’t have a problem with them being peacefully, if loudly, confronted at home or while shopping or dining out. That’s the standard.

• Yes, They're Going to Arrest Donald Trump. So What? – PJ Media

  If and when Leftist goblins arrest former president Trump, here’s the first thing to which we must all commit: We will not erupt into violence. If the anti-American forces succeed in goading the United States into a civil war, we’re over and done. You may as well start brushing up on your Mandarin now, if you think a hot civil war will work out well for us. There are still ways to get out of this mess without breaking the emergency glass yet.

• Ukraine Sitrep: Nuke Plant Shenanigans, T5 Minivan with Periscope, Camo

  Ukrainian intelligence reports that Russian forces are shelling the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant in continued false-flag attacks. A Russian 2S7 Malka self-propelled howitzer was spotted near the plant, and reports from locals and at least one engineer at the occupied facility seemed to confirm these attacks. Of course, substantiating these claims is impossible at this time, so take them as such.

  Former Russian president and prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, in continuing the Russian line that solely Ukrainians are attacking the facility, ominously referred to possible “accidents” at European Union nuclear plants in reference to a potential disaster in Zaporizhzhya.
