The Appendage Within the Confection Container

Both of our national political parties have historically clung to a bunker mentality when one of their prized members has come under public attack.  In my lifetime, the one exception is President Richard Nixon, who seemed to have no allies whatsoever; even the Republicans…in fact, the Republicans literally enabled and encouraged the impeachment proceedings of Nixon. 

 

For all of his obvious flaws and transgressions, the Democrats never abandoned President Bill Clinton.  They stuck loyally with him even when tossing him overboard would have been the easier…and perhaps…wiser choice.  The strange dynamic we are now witnessing between the Republican Party and Donald Trump is quite similar.  A clear majority of Republicans simply refuse to abandon Trump in spite of his obvious flaws and transgressions.  With multiple viable candidates opposing his pursuit of the Republican presidential nomination, they nonetheless stubbornly cling to his coattails with the endgame cry of…Damn the torpedoes, it is Trump in the White House or else!  It is brutally sobering to consider exactly what else might entail.

 

The latest episode of this national party denial of reality played out this week as the Hunter Biden/Department of Justice (DOJ) plea deal fell apart.  And in spite of the party mantra, the man the barricades cries of solidarity,  and the super intense pressure for ALL Democrats to cling to the defense of the Biden Family Enterprises until the last possible moment…the painfully-obvious joke of justice that is the DOJ and Attorney General Merrick Garland was caught with its hand in the cookie jar.  There is no adamant and enthusiastic denial that will suffice to cover up this blatant attempt to subvert the primary law enforcement arm of our American Government in an effort to protect a corrupt president and his cabal of filthy family members.  The facts speak for themselves. 

 

Surely…surely…we have reached a tipping point where that rare and reportedly-extinct creature known as a moderate Democrat will show its head and voice reasonable and sincere concerns over how this President and his crime syndicate relations have turned our government into a prostitution of power and influence for sale to the highest bidder.  Has the moment of truth arrived…or as we have said so many times over the last couple of years… “Is this simply another annoying leak on the Biden ship of state to be staunched?” 

 

This sad tale of the ultimate government jobbery is not complicated and is beginning to be connected by a series of facts and evidential revelations.  Read what it is all about and then decide for yourself if this is the government you want to support in our nation.

 

Here is a great 30-minute summary of the event from a professional, ethical, and outstanding source: The McCarthy Report -- Episode 223: Hunter's Plea Deal Collapses | National Review

The Biden Family Enterprises is a cesspool of political dealing that is shameful on its face, rotten to its core, and indefensible under any terms.

As crazy as it may seem, we are now quite possibly at a place where Biden and the Democrats will support the appointment of a special counsel and the Republicans will oppose it.  Why?  Quite simply, the situation has reached a point where it is beyond the ability of the DOJ to keep it completely under wraps.  All of the evidence that we are now seeing has not come from the DOJ…it has come from the Republican investigative committees in the House.  How do you shut down those investigations?  You shut them down by appointing a special counsel and drying up their information sources.  Biden and the DOJ/Garland have a much better chance of controlling a special counsel that they will select than they do of controlling the Republicans in the House.  You cannot make this stuff up!  https://nypost.com/2023/07/20/the-joe-biden-bribe-allegations-need-a-special-counsel-now/

 

Every day brings us closer to the national elections of November 2024.  When you look at it a certain way, it seems ludicrous that the Democrats would want to run Biden for re-election and the Republicans would want to run Trump in an attempt to unseat him.  However, if you turn the prism to a different facet, the contest between Biden and Trump seems inevitable.  Has there ever…ever…been a stranger and more bizarre presidential election?

Here is a fascinating conversation about our national labor force and how it is developed: https://reason.com/podcast/2023/07/19/mike-rowe-the-missing-7-2-million-male-workers/

 

The NEA has lost its way!  America’s teachers and administrators need to regain control of their organizations and institutions…or…they will be lost for a long time to come.

The effort by the liberal elements of our country to limit and control free speech is frightening.  Censorship and disinformation is very real, it is gaining strength, and it must be put down.  Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely!  We are all flawed creatures by design and it is a grave mistake to empower people in positions of authority with abilities that can allow them to exceed their ethical and moral boundaries.

 

The Judicial Branch of our government is the check and balance on the Executive and Legislative; we are seeing this clearly demonstrated by recent Supreme Court decisions and the Hunter Biden plea deal in particular.  The integrity, the power, and the influence of the Supreme Court must be preserved in order for our nation to survive.

The expanding overreach of executive actions by our recent presidents, both Democrat and Republican, must be reined in.  The Judicial branch of our government is the best hope for that balance to be regained and maintained.  But the battle will not cease and must be contested.

Those who control the flow of information have an inordinate influence on our culture and our society.  If those individuals who are in control are unscrupulous, they will seek to impose their ideals on the citizenry and subvert individual liberties and rights.  This battle is well engaged.

To close out this post, I will link three articles that should stimulate some deep thinking ….

 

I love sports and I love professional football, but something is simply wrong about paying a man a cool million dollars a week to play quarterback.  Not sure what this says about us as people, but it cannot be good: https://sports.yahoo.com/chargers-qb-justin-herbert-reach-5-year-2625-million-contract-extension-225911286.html
