President Trump is on trial in Manhattan, where he’s unlikely to get a fair trial. The highly political judge has him silenced with unconstitutional gag orders, while the key witness, Michael Cohen is free to rail against Trump during his daily, hours-long podcasts. Trump faces a jury of non-peers, and each of the 34 indictments are written such that Trump’s lawyers don’t completely know of what he’s been charged.
Next, Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson introduced a bill in the House that says anyone convicted of a felony cannot receive Secret Service protection. How’s that going to work if Trump is sentenced to jail? Perhaps the hope is that Trump will be Esptein-ed—as in “Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself”—before the November election.
Welcome to Donald Trump’s reality.
It’s the stuff nightmares are made of, and something we never would have believed could happen just a few years ago.
Now we have proof that this whole thing was planned—just like the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, the phony allegations about Trump’s phone call with Ukraine, and the second impeachment of Trump because he questioned the 2020 election.
Let’s Call it Collusion
A story in Politico reveals that a group of powerful leftist lawyers meet every Friday, and have been for years, to discuss legal strategies needed to take down Trump. In the main, these are former DOJ administrators and lawyers who write the briefs and court motions that are later filed by Jack Smith—the man prosecuting Trump in Florida over alleged mishandling of classified documents. Other participants in these weekly Zoom calls are hired guests on CNN, MSNBC, etc., and still others write articles in The New York Times or The Washington Post. They are united in their anti-Trump fervor.
According to the article, “Every Friday, they meet on Zoom to hash out the latest twists and turns in the Trump legal saga — and intellectually stress-test the arguments facing Trump on his journey through the American legal system.”
The article’s author denies this is a conspiracy to get Trump, and says if anything, “there is a lack of coordination among the relevant government parties that has actually increased the odds that Trump might return to power.”
We beg to differ.
On Wednesday, yet another batch of criminal indictments was announced for challenging the 2020 election. Democrat Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes indicted President Trump's White House chief of staff and 10 other Republicans, including Boris Ephsteyn, one of Trump’s lawyers currently defending him in the Manhattan trial. This comes suspiciously close on the heels of a Bloomberg poll that has Trump beating Biden in Arizona by 7 points, 49 to 42.
At the center of this coordinated strategy is Matthew Colangelo. You might remember from a previous PrayingCitizen that he is a senior political appointee at the DOJ. He is someone for whom working in a lower court would typically be a step down, but considering the target, this is actually a step up.
If even one of these strategies succeeds in eliminating President Trump, Colangelo could end up at the top of Biden’s DOJ.
Glimmer of Hope in Florida
Florida Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, is proving to be the only straight-shooter in this whole mess. She has been un-redacting texts in the classified documents case being prosecuted by Jack Smith. The new information proves that the Biden White House and DOJ worked with the National Archives all along in an entrapment plot—even before the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was directed by Biden to pressure Trump to immediately return documents, while allowing Biden to slow-walk his return of similar classified material.
One email dated May 5, 2021, shows the NARA plotted their demands a year in advance of threatening to draft a criminal referral against Trump
Cannon also ordered unsealed items related to prosecutorial abuse, specifically threats made to the lawyer for Walt Nauta, Trump’s aid. Nauta’s lawyer was told that his judicial nomination wouldn’t go through if he didn’t pressure Nauta to flip on Trump.
Why this Matters: Keep President Trump in your prayers. Every legal case Trump is fighting could set new precedents for judges to act outside of the Constitution.
Repercussions of $95 Billion in Foreign Aid
The humongous foreign aid package providing $61 billion in aid to Ukraine, plus billions for Israel and Taiwan (see April 18 PrayingCitizen) does nothing to secure our border, but it does include $3.5 billion to promote mass migration from the Middle East.
The Biden administration has set up two new international field offices in Qatar and Turkey to help 125,000 Muslims settle in the US. These offices will open in May.
We have Speaker Mike Johnson and dozens of Republicans in the House and Senate to thank for this. Johnson worked hard to pass this bill without a majority of Republican support. That deficit should have stopped the bill in its tracks.
Never mind, Johnson wanted to get this done, and he did. He has received accolades from top Democrats, including President Biden. Johnson’s response was: “The House has worked its will.”
Someone in the House passed out Ukraine flags to those who voted for the aid, which they all waved while cheering at the bill’s passage. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) posted on X a video of this travesty. He was threatened by the Sergeant at Arms to take the video down or face a fine. Johnson later reviewed Massie’s post and rescinded the fine.
Why this Matters: If Trump manages to survive these trials, he will find his poll numbers climbing—thanks to the continued bad policy from the Biden White House. Here are four of Biden’s latest:
Biden has proposed the highest capital gains tax in history: a whopping 44.6 percent, higher than the highest set by Jimmy Carter—whose re-election didn’t go well. He lost to Ronald Reagan 49 to 489 electoral points.
Biden threatened to call a national emergency based on climate change, giving himself 130 Covid-like powers. He would impose the Green New Deal on America without a vote in Congress. News outlets are being told to call it a “climate crisis.”
Biden signed a bill to ban TikTok, if the platform isn’t divested by the Chinese. Cynics might say that the US government wants it owned by an entity they can control. The CCP uses TikTok as a social engineering platform, just as US intelligence agencies use X, Meta, Instagram, etc.
Biden announced that a forced transition to zero emissions for the freight sector would be coming soon, meaning electric-only for trucking, shipping, and rail.
Protesters Take Over Campuses
Pro-Hamas/anti-Israel demonstrations have spread from Columbia University in New York to campuses across the US. Students and faculty (!) have set up tent cities and shut down campuses for the rest of the year. It’s obvious that the protests have been planned for some time, with matching tents, matching t-shirts, and matching signs.
Meanwhile, Hamas released a video of an American hostage whose arm they blew off when they kidnapped him some 200 days ago. Hamas continues to hold hostage five Americans and dozens of Israelis.
At the University of Texas in Austin, students are being arrested by state troopers in riot gear and hauled off to jail. The charges include criminal trespassing and obstruction. On Ivy League campuses, the administration is putting up with the demonstrators and asking Jewish student to go home for their own safety.
No protest tents are allowed at Florida State University, and lawn sprinklers were turned on to keep demonstrations from forming. At Liberty University, students and faculty gathered to pray for Israel.
Some protests have turned violent, and there’s evidence that they’re being co-opted by groups from the outside, including an organization called Peoples City Council. PCC is using X to fundraise for the “occupation.” The same group was also involved in the 2020 riots, and advertise that they will help people “who try to exterminate law enforcement.” Campuses are checking student IDs and restricting entrance to keep out infiltrators.

President Biden has remained noncommittal, trying to avoid the ire of the pro-Palestinian wing of his Party.
Why this Matters: Our tax dollars—multiple billions—support universities like Columbia, Yale, Harvard, etc. They get federal funding and student loans. Some have called for the resignation of Columbia President and Muslim, Minouche Shafik. That includes Speaker Mike Johnson, who also said that violent protesters should have their visas revoked and universities should have their federal funding revoked if they cannot control their campuses.
It should be noted that even the most vile anti-semitic speech is protected under the First Amendment. Violence is not. Some of these students have NO IDEA why or what they’re protesting. It seems that the “participation trophy” generation knows only how to criticize and tear things down—not how to build things up.
How to Pray: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for God to intervene in this absolute mess and rescue us. Pray for the safety and health of all elected officials, even the ones that are responsible for the step of our Union. Pray for all the targets of “law fare,” that God will use it to mature his people. And, as the Supreme Court considers the matter of presidential immunity, pray that God’s will be done.
1 Cor. 3:19-21a - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men.
