A Tale of Two Politicians

The prosecution of Donald Trump by New York Attorney General Letitia James is nothing short of a tragic, abysmal farce:  https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/alan-dershowitz-donald-trump-new-york/2024/03/19/id/1157811/.  Through the use of a foolishly-founded New York law, a partisan hack of a judge in Arthur Engoron, and the support of the American Progressive Cabal that includes the National Democrat Party, the mainstream media, most all of academia, and a large swath of our most rich and powerful citizenry…this woman has made a mockery of justice and a laughing stock of New York.  Let us dwell for a moment or two on exactly what we are witnessing in today’s political arena.

 

Joe Biden has spent his entire life in elected office.  Up until the time he once again failed to obtain his party’s presidential nomination and decided to retire from politics, he was obviously a man of very modest means.  He had not acquired a great deal of wealth, respect, or credibility.  Then he was inexplicably selected by Barack Hussein Obama to be vice-president and remarkably…his financial fortunes changed.  His political career had always reeked of subtle influence-peddling and low-grade corruption, but not of sufficient level to raise the hackles of law enforcement.  But when he was presented with the platform of the vice-presidency to “hawk his wares”; Slow Joe kicked his Biden Family Enterprise into high gear.

 

Thinking that this eight-year tour with Obama would likely be his political swan song, Biden made the obvious choice to “get all he could while the getting was good”.  His financial standing from these years in question paints a pretty plain and simple picture: He used his family, his son in particular, to pimp him out as a political harlot to anyone that might be interested.  He used his political office to gain personal wealth and influence with no regard for the compromises that might be inherent regarding his service to his elected office. 

 

And then, lightning struck Joe Biden one more time.  His party, bereft of any other viable candidate to put up against incumbent Republican President Donald Trump, chose him to run a basement campaign for the White House.  The rest is history.  While serving as Obama’s vice-president, Biden never dreamed that he might one day be put under the microscope for his corruptive actions in public office.  But then, after ascending to the presidency, he and his party are now being forced to defend his record of political prostitution as they approach a quest for the third lightning strike…a second term as president. 

 

Rather than the law enforcement departments and agencies of our nation, states, and communities using their resources to investigate Biden’s blatant abuse of power in political office, they have instead been arrayed in a complex system of cover-up, damage control, and self-defense to protect him and somehow enable him to grasp that Holy Grail …a second term as president.  That prize would keep them all in power.  In this effort, not only has the Department of Justice been shamelessly politicized in its scheming, but the mainstream media has been complicit in doing everything in their considerable power to support those efforts: https://mrctv.org/blog/craig-bannister/foia-reveals-fbi-arranged-wsjs-damage-control-mar-lago-raid-puff-piece

 

Now contrast Biden’s story with that of Trump.  From the time he publicly announced his pursuit of the presidency…from Trump Towers which just happens to be a central element in the Letitia James case against him…he has been attacked  and  bedeviled by his opponents within his own party, from the opposing political party, and from the partisan deep state element artfully entrenched within our government. 

 

Please do not misunderstand me…I am no great fan of Trump.  He is an unprincipled, crude, narcissistic, egomaniacal, blowhard of a man.  Much of the troubles that have fallen upon him since his political career began are of his own making due to his rhetoric and inexcusable behavior.  But all things being equal, we would like to believe that American justice is equal for all and applies evenly across the board.  How strange is it, therefore, that all of the aforementioned forces that were (and are being) assembled in DEFENSE of Joe Biden are being utilized in an overly-zealous and politically motivated LEGAL PERSECUTION of Donald Trump?

 

Regardless of what you might think of each man, the contrast between them is remarkable.  Trump and his family before him built an empire in the real estate arena through buying, selling, and building.  Were their business practices always pure and holy?  Not likely…not likely at all.  But they operated within the confines of existing law and regulation.  The records speak for themselves.   The fact is they generated economic vigor through the production of goods and services…they built something…with bricks and mortar…they accumulated something.  That something is represented by Trump Towers and their other real estate assets.

 

On the other hand, Biden and his family profited personally and immensely from the blatant selling of political influence and power: https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/questions-biden-impeachment-inquiry-still-has-answer.  They built nothing, they profited no one but themselves and their cohorts, they created no jobs or commerce, and Joe Biden spits in the face of all the voters who put him in office for lo these many years with his capricious attitude towards what he has done and his accountability for those actions. 

 

This is NOT how justice should work in America.  In the months ahead, Biden may be held accountable for his abuse of power and political-profiteering.  The lawfare strategy of Joe Biden and the Democrats deployed against Trump might implode on the gravity of its own ridiculousness, as we are beginning to see in Atlanta.  Representative James Comer may continue to peel away the onion layers of the Biden Family corruption and expose it in some undeniable fashion that will crystallize Biden’s corruptive nature.  Letitia James might eventually marshal the foreclosure of Trump’s New York properties and preside over his financial ruin.  But at some point in these sad and regrettable episodes, we can only hope that the contrast between the two flawed politicians at the center of these affairs and how their actions were treated by our civic authorities, both local and national, will be brought into a much greater focus. 

 

Consider this: The Department of Justice (DOJ) is under the auspices of the Executive Branch; all of the patronage appointments within that Department, from Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on down, serve at the pleasure of the President.  They also have significant power and influence over state law enforcement officials, such as Attorney Generals…especially the Democrat ones like we find in democrat states like New York and purple state Georgia. 

 

Both Biden and Trump have now acquired sufficient delegates in the primary process to be considered their respective party’s presidential nominees.  While the DOJ is running a full-force, lawfare blitzkrieg on Donald Trump, Joe Biden is making jokes during public speeches about Trump’s financial difficulties….stemming mainly from the previously-discussed Letitia James, New York Attorney General, lawsuit. 

 

So with seven months and change to go until our next presidential election, President Biden’s Executive Branch (which includes the DOJ) is going all out to legally and financially hamstring his chosen opponent in the upcoming election.  In what universe does this smell right?  The Atlanta judge spoke of the “odor of mendacity” surrounding Democrat District Attorney of Fulton County/Georgia, Fani Willis.  Do you suppose there might be some back-channel communication between Ms. Willis, the DOJ, and President Biden?  Same question for Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.  Same question for Democrat Special Counsel Jack Smith, appointed by our Attorney General Garland.  There is a different type of odor emanating from the Biden Administration that has its roots closer to that of organic fertilizer than it does that of honesty and truth.

Without a doubt, the Biden-created immigration chaos at our southern border will be a major factor in this year’s presidential election.   As the Supreme Court grapples with the rights of Texas to protect its own border when the United States government refuses to do so, illegal immigration across that border continues to spiral out of control.  Where will this escalating crisis lead us and how much longer can it proceed on this basis?

There is a clear effort, under the false moniker of “protecting democracy”, by the progressive elements in our nation to seize further control of speech and the sharing of information.  It is a slow, deliberate, and effective process of chipping away at the constitutional rights of Americans and it is proceeding at an alarming pace.  These efforts, through an incremental process, hold the potential to transform the very nature of country and can very easily result in an authoritarian government that tramples the basic rights of its citizens.  We should all pay close attention to these efforts as they work their way through our civic and judicial institutions.

Here is an assortment of articles that aptly illustrate the gross level of incompetence and foolishness that is so prevalent in the Administration of President Joe Biden.  These people live in a fantasy land full of rainbows and unicorns and are truly divorced from reality.

I mentioned before the lifelong tendency of Joe Biden to use his political office for personal gain.  The House of Representatives, through Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, is attempting to pull the sheets back from some of this contemptible behavior.  Much has been made of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Biden and how it might reflect on his abilities to effectively serve as our president.  To put it bluntly: Is he mentally competent?  Remember …Robert Hur was selected by Merrick Garland, who was selected by Joe Biden.  Here is a transcript of that interview.  Read it for yourself and consider whether this man is fit to be President.

Joe Biden, his Administration, and the progressive elements that control him from behind the scene are destroying the very fabric of our nation.  If you need convincing, simply pause a moment or two in your life and look around yourself.

Soon we will stand on the cusp of a decision in choosing our nation’s leader for the next four years.  Quite simply, the last seven plus years tell the story.  Consider your life under the Trump Administration and then consider your life under the Biden Administration.
