REP. BIGGS: Trump Is America’s George Bailey

Democrats, under House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s leadership, are working to grind President Trump under the heel of their boots with the intention of overturning the outcome of the 2016 election. It is reminiscent of the iconic American classic film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” which shows that right will triumph over those who malevolently attempt to manipulate justice.

In this movie, the leading character, George Bailey, goes about doing good and the whole community is benefited by his selfless actions. President Trump has enacted policies that have put more people to work than ever, more money in everyone’s pockets, and restored the hope of American greatness at home and abroad. He is America’s George Bailey.

In the film, George Bailey’s every good deed is undermined by the power-hungry Mr. Potter. Potter relentlessly attacks and helps manufacture one crisis after another for George. The mendacious Potter represents the hate-filled Schiff, Pelosi and their colleagues.

These Democrats have created one crisis after another for President Trump and the American people. They make claims sometimes out of whole cloth, with absolutely no evidence. Like Potter, they can’t allow any who question them, challenge their power, or have a popular vision for this country that doesn’t comport with their leftist worldview.

This means that Schiff and the gang will gin up one accusation after another. Remember the Democrats had champagne on ice the night of the 2016 presidential election. Media personalities and expert consultants literally cried on camera when their chosen political messiah was defeated by the consummate outsider Donald J. Trump.

In despair, some announced their intention to impeach President Trump before he was even sworn in. Some declared on Inauguration Day that the impeachment investigation was started.

Yet every time they announce that they have the goods, their claims evaporate. Think of Mueller and the Democrats’ claims that the team of partisans would deliver clear and convincing evidence. The Democrats were wrong. Very wrong.

So now Pelosi declares that we will have an impeachment investigation. But there is no investigation because she won’t ask the House of Representatives to sanction such an investigation. In the meantime, Schiff is holding interviews behind closed doors in case he’s wrong again. 

Like the movie, the Democrats (cum Mr. Potter) continue to attack, but in the end, the president is exonerated, the community rallies around him, and President Trump gets reelected. I added the last part because every American who has seen the movie is cheering for the outsider and against the scornful Mr. Potter character. Americans will rally around this president. The only thing we’re missing are Zuzu’s petals.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
