By Anthony Murdoch, LifeSiteNews - Former President of the United States Donald Trump in a statement this evening said his Florida home has been raided by the FBI and is “under siege.”... “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump wrote... “Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.”

By Joy Pullmann, The Federalist - An indictment of former President Donald Trump would be a breathtakingly authoritarian turn. It would amount to the U.S. security state refusing to accept “no” from America’s voters yet again... This is the core danger of the administrative state: Its now open propensity to go rogue. It is apparently hellbent now on turning the United States into a banana republic.

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews - The Biden Department of Justice was “playing with fire” by sending the FBI to raid former President Trump’s home in Florida, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) warned on Monday night, saying it was regimes like that of Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua that target political opponents. “That’s what you see in places like Nicaragua; we’ve never seen that before in America,” Rubio said. “You can try to diminish it, but that’s exactly what happened tonight.”

By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, Catholic Culture - In days bygone, it would have seemed presumptuous to edit the Declaration of Independence, the holy writ of America’s founding.

So, with all due respect to Thomas Jefferson and company, let’s revisit the Declaration and offer some editorial suggestions.
