Destroying the Rule of Law

If you dislike Donald Trump, that is your right. However, if you dislike the rule of law that is supposed to govern these United States of America, we have a problem. The indictment of a former U.S. President and declared candidate for president, is highly disconcerting, especially when one considers the nature of the so-called "charges." I could not care less if Donald Trump gave "hush" money to a porn star back in 2016. What concerns me is why a misdemeanor is being upgraded to a felony offense by a New York City District Attorney. The same DA who downgraded felony offenses to misdemeanors and released violent criminals back onto the streets to continue assaulting innocent citizens. Why does this same DA prosecute something that has gone past the statute of limitations? Something his predecessor refused to pursue, along with the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice.

Okay, I get it--there are those who just cannot wait to see mug shots and handcuffs on a former President Donald Trump. However, what if there had been mug shots and handcuffs on Bill Clinton? After all, here is someone who was a sitting president who sexually assaulted a young female intern in the Oval Office . . . and then lied about it. Ahh, I get it, we were told that it wasn't about character, it was about the economy.

We have seen a president who lied about an incident that resulted in the deaths of Americans, who were abandoned to face Islamic jihadists. No big deal. The same president started a program to undermine the Second Amendment rights of Americans by flooding weapons into Mexico, Operation Fast and Furious. Hint--not the movie. The endeavor resulted in the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent, Bryan Terry. Hey, no big deal. As a matter of fact, athen soon-to-be Democrat presidential nominee asserted, "what difference does it make?" That seems to be the theme when it comes to the bifurcated system of justice in America.

It was that same former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who became a Democrat presidential nominee, that concocted a Russian collusion hoax using campaign financing.The FBI agents such as Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Paige were implicated in this fiasco, along with Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, but they faced no punishments. Zip, nada, nothing.

Today we have a president, who is a former vice-president, who has a son who is as corrupt as the days are long. A son who is guilty of a felony gun charge. A son who is linked to influence peddling with our number one geo-political foe, and it appears we have a president who has financially benefited from said illicit dealings. However, when a computer surfaced with damning evidence it was dismissed as Russian disinformation by members of the U.S. intelligence community. Now, that same son is seeking legal action against the computer store owner who was in possession of the laptop that he originally said wasn't his.

We are living in a time when being pro-life means you can be arrested, tried, and potentially imprisoned. Pro-life advocacy centers are being firebombed and defaced, along with churches by a leftist group, Jane's Revenge.And, as of yet, not one member has been arrested. Parents are being labeled as domestic terrorists while the real domestic terrorists, Antifa, roam about free, and they even have prominent leftists raising money for their bail bonds. At the same time, the government withholds exculpatory evidence in the case of J6 defendants where the only person killed was an unarmed female veteran of the US Air Force.

We have a presidential administration that colludes with private sector information platforms to suppress Americans’ freedom of speech and expression. How did we get to the point where a journalist has to have IRS agents come to his door while he is testifying before Congress on the suppression of speech? Or how about a gender dysphoric person who deliberately attacks a Christian school, yet we are not supposed to say gender dysphoria? Yet, if the same crime had been committed bya white male, then you are allowed to say that. Unless you are the white male who shoots up the Republican congressional baseball team practice. Did either of these intentional attacks on a Christian school or Republican members of congress get designated as a hate crime?

Our southern and northern borders are wide open, porous, and millions are pouring into our country illegally, in violation of our Constitution's guarantee clause, Article IV, Section 4. Yet even with the loss of operational control of our border to a narco-criminal terrorist organization, there is no call for impeachment. But, you can be impeached over a hoax or a phone call.

We have entered a new era in America. The progressive socialist left has no regard for the rule of law. They only care about the right to rule. The Constitution does not bindthem, they only adhere to Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. They do not want unity, they demand abject conformity, subjugation, and subservience. Leftists do not want political opposition, they want no obstacles to their rule, and those ends justify their means. 

The leftists in America are following the leftist playbook--imprison your enemies, just look at the case of Doug Mackey whom the Biden Department of Justice is prosecuting because of anti-Hillary Clinton memes. Mackey is facing 10 years in prison. Just the same as with radical Islamic jihadists who will issue fatwas against anyone they perceive as mocking Muhammad, so go the leftists. 

Why do they want legal law-abiding citizens disarmed,while they demand defunding of law enforcement? It is simple: it goes along with their releasing violent criminals back onto the streets, along with supporting their version of the Brown Shirts, Antifa as a means of intimidation. I will say it, and it is no hyperbole. If the American left could just line their political opposition up against a wall, they would. 

How else do you explain the radical leftist gender dysphoria community calling for a "Trans Day of Vengeance?" This call to violence resulted from legislation passed and signed into law in Tennessee protecting children from gender mutilation surgeries, hormonal therapies, and puberty blockers, as well as ending the perverse drag queen shows being performed before children. Talk about contributing to the delinquency of a minor! But that is how the left responds to opposition. 

Let's stop talking about Donald J. Trump; this is not about him. This is all about the left destroying our rule of law. This is their mantra and modus operandi. This is not just about defeating them in a political contest, it is about defeating the progressive socialist, Marxist, leftist ideology in America and rendering it ineffective in its goal of fundamentally transforming our America. That is the ultimate threat to our Republic and its system of representative democracy and individual rights, freedoms, and liberties.

Steadfast and Loyal.
