Last week, FOX News featured a guest interview from August that should have gone viral worldwide. In it, Mike Davis, president of the Article Three Project and a former clerk to Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, destroyed the Biden Administration’s narrative and took down the DOJ and FBI while vindicating former President Trump.
He also made the recent public relations rounds of former Attorney General Bill Barr look like nothing more than vindictive ramblings of a partisan (RINO) hack.
FOX News host Sean Duffy asked Mr. Davis for his take on former President Trump and the special master affair.
Sean Davis:
“So the Biden Justice Department and the FBI have a pretty bad track record as it relates to President Trump. We’ve seen that they have weaponized… they have politicized law enforcement repeatedly to get Trump. This is…this was an unprecedented, unnecessary, unlawful home raid on a former president. The whole legal basis for the raid has been blown apart. They went after Trump.
“They said he may have violated the Espionage Act. That’s not even possible. As the commander-in-chief, he can declassify anything he wants. They say he may have stolen or misused government property under the Presidential Records Act and other statutes. That’s just not possible.
“An Obama judge’s 2012 decision that former presidents can take personal records with them when they leave office. So there go the obstruction allegations. It’s legally impossible to obstruct noncrimes like they’re trying to investigate here. There’s a track record of lying in this case. They leaked out that Attorney General Merrick Garland did not personally approve of this raid. That’s a lie.
“They leaked out that Trump had nuclear documents at Mar-a-Lago. That’s a lie. They leaked out that President Biden in the Biden White House did not do not have a heads up about this raid. That’s a lie. President Biden had to waive President Trump’s executive privilege in order to pave the way for this raid. I think Judge Cannon understands that…also…Attorney General Merrick Garland said he deliberated for weeks to make this decision.
“Well, okay. So Trump had these documents for 18 months. The attorney general had to deliberate for weeks, and they waited three days after they got a warrant from this biased magistrate, Judge Bruce Reinhart, who just recused in Trump’s civil lawsuit eight weeks ago. Somehow his bias went away. Why did they wait so long if Trump had such damning records down there? Why did they wait to get these documents?”
Sean Duffy:
“That’s a really good point. But, you know, Mike, here’s what a CNN counterterrorism analyst said about the DNI leading a damage assessment on the Trump documents. Watch.”
Sean Duffy then played a CNN News interview of a Director of National Intelligence (DNI) member, who serves as the head of the U.S. Intelligence Community.
“This is a curious one because typically, if you’re going to do a damage assessment, you know that something bad has already happened. And I don’t mean somebody’s storing documents improperly. I mean, for example, a spy giving away documents to the Russians.”
Sean Duffy:
“Mike, what do you think about the phrase damage assessment being used here?”
Mike Davis:
“They are covering their tracks here because they know that President Trump declassified and took his personal copy of the Crossfire Hurricane records, Russian Collusion records. and those are damning for Biden, Obama, Hillary, Clapper, Susan Rice, the FBI, the intel community… And that’s what has terrified them, and that’s what has precipitated this home raid. And it’s unprecedented. It was unnecessary and unlawful. And that’s why they did this. And this is a cleanup job.”
FOX News personality Duffy then asked, “So, Mike, what are the next steps for Team Trump? Where do they go from here?”
Davis concludes, “So they’ve, they’ve, won this preliminary motion, or it looks like the Judge (Aileen) Cannon is going to rule in their favor. I think Trump needs to file an amended Rule 41 G motion under the federal rules of criminal procedure to get back all of these, this property, all these records that were seized by the…the Biden Justice Department. And he can tee up these legal issues right now with Judge Cannon in the southern district of Florida, get this resolved by Judge Cannon and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals instead of, you know, some Trump deranged Democrat judge and the D.C. District Court and the D.C. Court of Appeals, I think that President Trump and his legal team need to go on offense.”
CONCLUSION:
Mike Davis is not the first official to bring up Crossfire Hurricane relative to this Mar-a-Lago raid, and this is not the first time we have reported on this being the real reason for this raid.
Crossfire Hurricane was the code name for the counterintelligence investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from July 31, 2016, to May 17, 2017. It investigated alleged links between Russian officials and associates of Donald Trump and “whether individuals associated with (his) presidential campaign were coordinating with the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election”.
President Trump wasn’t investigated until May 2017, when he fired then FBI director James Comey. While the official narrative was his firing of Comey raised suspicions of obstruction of justice, which triggered the Mueller investigation, it should have been viewed for what it was, retribution. In truth, James Comey should have been fired the first day President Trump took office for letting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton off the hook for her destruction of evidence in the wake of a Congressional subpoena related to the Benghazi fiasco.
Police officers investigating crimes look for the alleged perpetrator to tell just one lie or offer one contradiction. After that, they pressure the person into interrogation until their whole web of lies unraveled. This past week former Attorney General Bill Barr told a whopper:
“People say this (the raid of a former president) was unprecedented. Well, it’s also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and put them in a country club, OK?”
Barr was either asleep or out of the country in 2016 when Barack Obama left the White House and trucked loads of papers to the airport to be flown by a military cargo plane to Chicago.
The Democrats sabotaged themselves in the Midterm 2022 Election with this Mar-a-Lago raid. Now, people want to know more about Crossfire Hurricane than anything to come out of any Dem candidate’s mouth on the campaign trail. Well done, Brandon!
Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
