Over the weekend President Donald Trump made history by accusing the ex-“president” of wiretapping the president-elect’s offices at Trump Towers. While some compare it to Watergate, where sitting President Richard Nixon had curried a national spy effort on those he considered his detractors, this “lame duck president” allegedly was gathering information that could be used to undermine Trump when he took office.

It is the type of stuff spy novels are made of, yet it is playing out before our very eyes. The ex-“president” has set up a shadow government and is working with seditious forces to undermine the duly elected President of the United States. Trouble is, he has apparently walked the line of the law.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the ex-“president” was livid over Trump’s accusations. A statement was issued immediately that the ex-“president’s” regime had never approved wire tapping or spying on U.S. citizens. This is an outright lie because there are multiple high-profile cases where the White House was caught intercepting phone calls and emails on our citizens.

The Guardian published documents signed by Attorney General Eric Holder July 29, 2009 indicating the White House used the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to back door “authority’ to collect information on American citizens. AP, CBS and Fox know firsthand as their reporters were spied on, as were thousands of citizens.

Was the ex-“president” livid that Trump called him out, or because he got caught doing something he shouldn’t have that may have legal implications?

It would appear that the former “president” is walking a thin line between political opposition and sedition. Many are asking why this person is not arrested and brought up on charges of sedition, high crimes and misdemeanors. It is because there is no appearance on the surface of actual law breaking. Paid protesters, encouraging protesting, setting up offices to “keep an eye on” the Trump Administration, stirring up a willing media against the government are all disruptive and undermining actions, but not really illegal. Power and money drive this organization.

Dinesh D’Souza documented just how the progressives in the Democratic Party, the ex-“president” and Hillary Clinton use deception and denial to enrich themselves and garner power. In Hillary’s America, D’Souza documents how “progressives” seek to steal from the government and the people. He said, “The methodology of theft is very simple and involves five distinct steps. First, plan the theft. Second, recruit allies. Third, pitch or justify the theft. Fourth, carry out the theft. And finally, cover up the theft.”

When caught, they never give up the gig, but rather deny, deny, deny. And we see this play out every day in this deepening feud between the ex-“president” and Trump.

Proverbs 14:8 says, “The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.”

And, hence, we have the tale of two Americas and a revolutionary feud deepening.

Have a blessed and powerful day!

A wise man once told me to never pick a fight with a man who buys his ink by the barrel, yet this is exactly what President Donald Trump has done, or has he?

In reality, it was the press that picked a fight with the American people and Trump is standard-bearer for those who have been lied to, massaged, brainwashed by a decided socialist news media against all things American. From the news media’s viewpoint, unless it’s socially just, it’s wrong, and all things are socially unjust, especially if they have anything to do with common sense and traditional values.

Think of the foul-mouthed, bombastic approach that has been taken. Yet, President Trump is being blamed openly by the media for what they call self-inflicted wounds.

At CPAC, Trump explained:

A few days ago I called the fake news the enemy of the people. And they are. They are the enemy of the people. Because they have no sources, they just make ‘em up when there are none. I saw one story recently where they said, “Nine people have confirmed.” There’re no nine people. I don’t believe there was one or two people…  I know who they talk to. There were no nine people… They make up sources. They’re very dishonest people. In fact, in covering my comments, the dishonest media did not explain that I called the fake news the enemy of the people. The fake news. They dropped off the word “fake.” And all of a sudden, the story became the media is the enemy.

During the very early days of the Reagan Administration, I was a Washington, DC correspondent for a major newswire. I shared office space with many other news entities. Often at the end of the day, the correspondents would sit around the office having a drink and talk about their news stories, essentially comparing notes. I learned from listening to those discussions that unnamed sources were sometimes, if not often, the journalists themselves speculating on various news events.

One time, I spoke up about a story they knew I was working on exclusively. I purposely misled them. The next day, it showed up on the front page of the Washington Post, quoting me as a “source close to the story.” Of course, it was totally wrong information and these old salts were quite surprised when my story broke with the real news.

Fake news is not new to this generation. It is a staple of lazy reporters with agendas. They have been doing it for generations. The problem we have today is that reporters have been trained to believe that their leftist beliefs are the truth and all things must be measured against their particular truth. We therefore have a media that just writes stories from the lens of socialism. It’s generally fake news. Most of what you read and see is twisted. When a free press is dedicated to an agenda, it is part of the problem, not the solution.

President Trump is right to try to hold accountability. We as citizens must also hold accountability. How? Measure it against the Holy Scriptures. In John 17:17, Jesus prayed the Father to “Sanctify them through thy word; thy word is truth.” Find the baseline of events in the word and discern truth properly. It will set you free.

Have a blessed and powerful day!
