Belly up to the bar is now best used for Dems to order a beer thanks to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman Andrew Ferguson who has declared an all-out war against the “lawyer’s wing of the Democratic Party”—the American Bar Association (ABA).

It appears there is a new directive that prohibits any FTC political appointees from engaging with or benefiting from the ABA in any capacity. This means that FTC political appointees can’t hold leadership roles in the American Bar Association (ABA), nor participate in ABA events, renewing their ABA memberships, and the FTC will no longer use its RESOURCES to support ANY employee’s ABA membership or participation in ABA activities!
From the FTC Government Website: “FTC Chairman Ferguson Announces New Policy Regarding American Bar Association!”

On Friday February 14, 2025, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson announced a new policy that prohibits FTC political appointees from holding leadership roles in the American Bar Association (ABA), participating in ABA events, or renewing their ABA memberships. Additionally, the FTC will no longer use its resources to support any employee’s ABA membership or participation in ABA activities. Chairman Ferguson’s letter to staff can be found here.

Chairman Ferguson’s letter to staff:



Whereas the ABA was put in place to ensure that there was a proper upholding of the law, it was being used by the left wing political progressive parties, along with RINO’s and any who were in league…. to ensure that they could skirt around the rule of law and by monstrous abuse of it, could destroy anyone they desired to make charges against. It had become a modern-day weapon to defame, punish, and destroy people at will.
This sure sounds like we are rolling back to the days of Abraham Lincoln and to the days before appointed heads of bureaucracies dictated and made their own laws based on their own expertise? Technocrats had figured out how to use the system for its own self serving purposes and against “We The People”, and the Executive Branch and quite frankly anything they desired to attack.

The abusive powers that grew out of such practices were never a part of the constitution and or original consignments to the Department of Justice System. We have been watching many “Kangaroo Courts” with a lot of “Alice in Wonderland Red Queen” judges abusing and even refusing due process in many cases inside our nations court systems. In many cases, soley on the basis that they are the Federal Judge in charge and what they say goes.
Does this indicate the fall of the weaponized courts and their “LAWFARE” games? It sure looks like it is pointing in that direction!

It appears the culprits who have abused the justice system took the bait when they thought they could get away with challenging the executive powers of President Donald J. Trump – particularly to disrupt and stop decisions made based on the audits of the cabinets he is over, brought about by the recent USAID audits which were riddled with wasteful and fraudulent spending, along with the Treasury Department, which was doling out the checks for it all, with no transparency.
This was taxpayer’s money of whom taxpayers have every right to know where THEIR money is going. After all there was a $36 Trillion dollar debt that was accrued via the out of control spending and now we see much of it had no accountability other than “someone said to write them a check.”

As Ferguson’s letter stated, the FTC’s leadership should not be a patina of legitimacy to an organization guided by Democrat Party principles and priorities of Big Tech. But rather focus on what is IMPORTANT, which is fighting monopolies, promoting competition and economic liberty, protecting consumers from fraud and unfairness, and helping President Trump usher in America’s Golden Age!
Hang in there the best is yet to come!
KEEP ON PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD! PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!

“He who saves his country does not violate any law”. President Trump has to keep repeating this for he is saving our country and so are many others he has selected to carry out that action. According to what is written regarding the executive powers of the commander in Chief regarding his duties….if a war threat is given to our nation, he is the one in charge to preserve the safety of the nation. Being attacked, or war declared on us, is not the same as going before congress to get permission to declare a war. Two different things. The president is bound to accept the challenge without waiting for any special legislative authority. Exercising wartime powers does not violate any law. Also looking at his departments and auditing them is responsible action of leadership. It is not abuse of power.
I just read that Trump is getting ready to (allegedly) give Snowden a pardon. This would go along with his pinned message that “He who saves his country does not violate any law.” Any thoughts on this?
President Trump has told us many times that he is a President of law and order. So I think is safe to say that everything that he doing and is going to do is airtight legal. Just like DOGE is. Smile
This take the lefts TDS to new levels. I must say I am truly enjoying watching these lunatics howl at the moon so to speak.
Kaboom! 💥
