Something extraordinary unfolded outside the White House this week that the mainstream media doesn't want you to see. Stuart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, Yale Law graduate, and Army airborne veteran, stood shoulder-to-shoulder with retired Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Raiklin to deliver a message that should send shockwaves through every patriot's heart – and strike fear into the hearts of those orchestrating chaos across America.
Their message to President Trump was crystal clear: The time has come to invoke the Insurrection Act and restore order to a nation under siege.
The Case Against Governor Tim Walz
The revelations about Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are nothing short of explosive. Rhodes and Raiklin documented what they describe as Walz's disturbing ties to Communist China – thirty trips to the CCP, a 1989 teaching position with alleged personal connections to Chinese Communist Party officials, and funding from Chinese sources now under congressional investigation as potential foreign influence operations.
Let that sink in, patriots. A sitting American governor who has labeled federal ICE operations as a "modern-day Gestapo" while issuing orders to the Minnesota National Guard asserting they exist to protect state interests against federal authority. Rhodes didn't mince words, calling Walz a "CCP surrogate."
Is this what defending the Constitution looks like? Or is it something far more sinister?
A Warrior's Heart – And Divine Purpose
Perhaps the most powerful moment came when Rhodes revealed a tattoo he got in prison after President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania. He described watching Trump rise with blood streaming down his face, fist raised defiantly in the air, shouting "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"That moment proved Trump has a warrior's heart," Rhodes declared. "Inmates across all races gained respect for Trump that day. God spared his life for a reason – to fulfill his destiny and save the Republic."
This isn't just rhetoric, folks. This is a man who went to prison rather than turn on President Trump, rather than bear false witness, now standing in the cold outside the White House pleading for the President to embrace the mission Providence has clearly placed before him.
Historical Precedent Is On Trump's Side
The legal framework Rhodes and Raiklin presented is rock-solid. The Insurrection Act has been invoked approximately thirty times in American history. Thomas Jefferson used it in 1807. Abraham Lincoln wielded it throughout the Civil War. President Eisenhower invoked it in 1957 to enforce school desegregation in Little Rock when Arkansas's governor ordered his state guard to block integration.
Eisenhower nationalized the Arkansas National Guard and deployed the 101st Airborne to escort students past hostile crowds. Rhodes argues the identical model should be applied to Minnesota immediately.
A Warning About Summer 2026
Both men issued a stark warning that should concern every American: if decisive action isn't taken now, the violence coming in Summer 2026 will make the 2020 riots look like a warm-up act. They described Trump supporters being brutally attacked at deportation rallies, attempted stabbings, and law enforcement standing down while Americans are terrorized for simply exercising their First Amendment rights.
They're also calling on Elon Musk and Dana White to join President Trump and DNI Tulsi Gabbard in a joint press conference announcing massive declassification – the Twitter files, the Fauci files, all of it – before the March 2026 primaries so Americans can purge corrupt officials from both parties through the ballot box.
The Bottom Line
Fourteen Oath Keepers received commutations but not full pardons. Twelve still need complete exoneration. Eight are veterans who lost all benefits for standing firm.
But as Rhodes made clear, what they want most isn't personal vindication – it's their country back.
"If the President does not fix this," Rhodes warned, "the American people will have to fix it themselves."
The question now rests with President Trump. Will he listen to the men who sacrificed everything rather than betray him? Will he embrace the destiny that a divine hand clearly preserved him to fulfill?
The Republic is watching. And waiting.
