So-called domestic terrorism accusations have been used by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and a host of Trump administration officials as justification for the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, MN. And while these two victims of the Gestapo tactics employed by ICE may or may not fit the definition, we are beginning to see how the use of the words “domestic terrorism” or “domestic terrorist” are being used by Donald Trump as cover to expand his tyrannical abuse of power by destroying the First Amendment’s protection of free speech and the Second Amendment’s protection of gun rights.<\/p>\n

We begin with Attorney General Pam Bondi and a memo<\/a> she released in early December 2025 ordering the FBI to comprise a list of “extremist” Americans found to be exercising their free speech rights to criticize Trump and his policies. And to show just how serious Trump was about this, he offered special funding programs<\/strike> bribes to states willing to help him and his flunkies in the FBI and DOJ round them up (via KenKlippenstein.com<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordering the FBI<\/strong> to \u201ccompile a list of groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism,\u201d according to a Justice Department memo published here exclusively.<\/p>\n

The target is those expressing \u201copposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology,\u201d as well as \u201canti-Americanism,\u201d \u201canti-capitalism,\u201d and \u201canti-Christianity.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to compiling a list of undesirables, Bondi directs the FBI to enhance the capabilities (and publicity) of its tipline in order to more aggressively solicit tips from the American public on, well, other Americans.<\/strong> To that end, Bondi also directs the FBI to establish \u201ca cash reward system\u201d for information leading to identification and arrest of leadership figures within these purported domestic terrorist organizations<\/strong>. (The memo later instructs the FBI to \u201cestablish cooperators to provide information and eventually testify against other members\u201d of the groups.)<\/p>\n

The payouts don\u2019t end there. Justice Department grants are now to prioritize funding to programs for state and local law enforcement to go after domestic terrorism<\/strong> (emphasis added).<\/div>\n

Bondi’s memo went down the punch list of so-called indicators of domestic terrorism identified by Trump in his National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7) directive, which Bondi said her memo was intended to implement. NSPM-7 was essentially a declaration of war on just about anyone who wasn\u2019t MAGA<\/a> following Charlie Kirk’s assassination (his death is explicitly mentioned in the memorandum), but Bondi’s memo to the FBI was the plan for how Trump will wage it.<\/p>\n

I should mention Trump appears to have taken his cues<\/a> from Joe Biden, who once labeled people exercising their God-given, constitutionally protected right to free speech to protest government as domestic terrorists for pushing so-called “anti-government rhetoric” for expressing their “opposition to Covid measures.”<\/p>\n

On the topic of destroying gun rights, Trump’s intentions in this area became clearer following the murder of Alex Pretti after Kristi Noem and White House advisor Stephen Miller slapped<\/a> the “domestic terrorism” label on Pretti before the body was even cold. They were followed by Trump and a parade of administration talking heads who blamed Pretti<\/a> for (legally) carrying a firearm:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know of any peaceful protesters that show up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.\u201d —DHS Secretary Kristi Noem<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been to a protest. Guess what? I didn\u2019t bring a gun. I brought a billboard.\u201d —Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during an ABC News interview<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It\u2019s that simple. You don\u2019t have that right to break the law.\u201d —FBI Director Kash Patel<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t have guns… You can\u2019t walk in with guns. You can\u2019t do that.\u201d —Donald Trump<\/p><\/div>\n

Back to Pam Bondi for a moment… during her nomination for the AG job, I documented how she is simpatico with Trump<\/a> concerning the matter of gun control.<\/p>\n

Trump’s intentions concerning gun rights goes back to his first term in office. He openly embraced<\/a> Nancy Pelosi\u2019s gun-control agenda, banned bump stocks<\/a> by executive order, pushed for enhanced background checks<\/a>, and called for the expansion of red flag laws on a national level<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump was also willing to take on other parts of the Bill of Rights—such as the right to privacy and the right to due process—to advance his pro-gun control, anti-Second Amendment agenda:<\/p>\n

He suggested that law enforcement ignore due process<\/a> rights to make it easier for the government to seize guns<\/p>\n

He proposed forcing social media companies to develop tracking tools<\/a> to \u201cdetect mass shooters before they strike\u201d<\/p>\n

He threatened to have his DOJ take Google and Apple to court to force them to turn over personal information<\/a> on users of a phone app that calibrates rifle scopes<\/p>\n

He called for the creation of a phone app<\/a> capable of conducting remote background checks via the NICS system, giving government real-time access to personal information without due process and create a national gun registry<\/div>\n

Only a few days ago I asked a question once thought unthinkable: Would Trump and Hegseth order the military to shoot protesters?<\/a> It turns out that the answer to that question is closer to being a “yes” than a “no,” especially when dealing with people who are found to be using their free speech and gun rights which, in the Orwellian world of Washington politics, qualifies as domestic terrorism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
