President George W. Bush ordered Operation Iraqi Freedom which was launched on March 20, 2003. Within 21 days the coalition of troops led by the U.S. and Great Britain had seized Bagdad. In December, Saddam Hussein was captured hiding in a Spider Hole. He was executed on December 30, 2006.

The world was in awe of what had been accomplished by Operation Iraqi Freedom. People were asking what Bush should do now, should he look right or left for the next target. Muammar Gaddafi, who was on the left, was no fool, so he ordered Libya to halt its nuclear program and began cooperating with the U.S. Iran, which was on the right, suspended its nuclear weapon program. But then something changed. During an interview with Chris Matthews, Joe Biden, who was the United States Senator from Delaware and chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee said that: “if President Bush attacked Iran without congressional approval, he “would lead an effort to impeach him.”  Brilliant!

Biden: ‘I would move to impeach him’

Iran formally halted the Amad Plan in late 2003. They didn’t like what happened to Saddam Hussein. Once they realized that Bush would have to get permission from Joe Biden to attack Iran, they relaxed. They started openly working on a nuclear weapon again and that brings us today where there are some reports they could be within weeks of achieving that goal.

A History of Iran’s Nuclear Program | Iran Watch

“In October 2003, Iran struck a deal with three European countries, agreeing to suspend its enrichment activities and ratify an Additional Protocol to its safeguards agreement. This followed a resolution by the IAEA Board of Governors a month earlier demanding Iran’s cooperation. By the end of the year, IAEA verification efforts had begun, and Iran had signed an Additional Protocol with the Agency.

But Iran did not follow through on these commitments. Its declarations to the IAEA in 2004 and 2005 were incomplete and at times inconsistent, preventing the Agency from developing a full picture of the nuclear program and Iran’s past activities. Iran also resumed or continued activities that the IAEA considered to be related to enrichment. These issues led to a June 2004 rebuke and a September 2005 finding of non-compliance by the IAEA Board of Governors, opening the door to a U.N. Security Council referral. Iran responded by ceasing its implementation of the Additional Protocol and restarting previously suspended enrichment activities. By April 2006, the country had announced that it had enriched uranium to the level of 3.6 percent.”

Now, when President Trump is threatening to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities with a bunker busting bomb, some Democrats and sadly some Republicans are trying to hand cuff him. Once again, they want congress to give approval before Trump can act. Fortunately, there is no Senator Biden threatening to impeach him.

This is insane. Both Democrats and Republicans should be united in a demand that Iran never gain access to a nuclear weapon. Iran which has been threatening death to Israel and death to the United States would present a horrific worst-case scenario. So far, nuclear war has been avoided because even worst, Russia was not suicidal. But the leaders of Iran expose views that hint they might even welcome a nuclear holocaust. It is hard to imagine a more irresponsible and dangerous decision than to risk letting Iran get a nuclear weapon.

Iran must be stopped from getting a nuclear weapon. If not now, when? If not by Donald Trump, who? Gavin Newsom? Pete Buttigieg? Kamala Harris? AOC? Hakeem Jeffries? Please. Winston Churchill once said that the most unethical decision he could have made was to let Hitler win World War II. The cost of defeating Adolph Hitler was beyond catastrophic, but the cost of losing to him would have been much worse. Yet, even Hitler, did not have access to an atomic bomb and the ballistic missiles capable to delivering such a bomb.

That is how serious this situation is in Iran. It is why both Republicans and Democrats who think they are wiser than Donald Trump need to shut up. We all better pray he gets this right, because the consequences of Iran getting a nuclear weapon stagger the imagination.

In 1972 Democrats united against Richard Nixon and even though he had been re-elected by a historic landslide, they were determined to destroy him. They eventually turned a third-rate burglary of DNC headquarters at the Watergate Hotel into the crime of the century. They eventually got Republicans, who should have known better, to desert Nixon. He was forced to resign with catastrophic results. Democrats handcuffed Gerald Ford and prevented him from securing the peace that had been won by Richard Nixon. With no regard to the consequences, they threw away the sacrifices of the brave men and women who fought valiantly in Vietnam, who secured victory against all odds, only to be tossed on the scrapheap of history by Democrats who could not care less.

The MSM, then as now, was in full cahoots with the DNC. They also hated Nixon. Nothing else mattered. If the Watergate Burglary had happened to any other President, it would not have mattered. The MSM would have ignored it. With Richard Nixon, it became their life’s mission.

Now, history is repeating itself. Once again Democrats are so filled with hatred for Donald Trump, that they are willing to do anything to stop him. They don’t care about Democracy, or they would recognize that Trump was elected by a huge margin, and he won the popular vote. Prior to the election they tried everything, including ridiculous lawsuits to defeat him. They constantly called him a threat to Democracy. They compared him to Hitler. It was no big surprise that a mentally challenged individual believed this nonsense and decided to assassinate Trump. He almost succeeded. That didn’t even slow Democrats down. Then there was another assassination attempt, bared thwarted. That didn’t slow them down either.

Instead, they have attempted to stop Donald Trump by any means necessary. They lie about everything he does or says. They still call him a threat to Democracy. They still compare him to Hitler. They still scream outrage at the top of their lungs begging their few remaining followers to do something. Sadly, even though the MSM was humiliated by the election of Donald Trump, they are still telling the same lies, spreading the same misinformation, and doing everything possible to make as many people fear and hate Donald Trump as possible. Again, they are doing this with zero regard for the facts and the evidence and even less regard for the consequences.

Now we see the consequences. There are rallies all around the country, with people protesting the Trump administration for enforcing immigration laws. Some of these rallies have been predictably violent. Democrat politicians are raging calling Trump Hitler, again, while comparing ICE to the Gestapo. They are demanding people stand up and fight back against the police state.

Last night a man in Minnesota shot two Democrat politicians and their spouses. One of them was the deciding vote to stop Medicare from funding illegal aliens. When she made that vote, she tearfully said she was putting a target on her back. That turned out to be more accurate than anyone dreamed. The MSM is trying to cover this up by pretending, that since they were Democrats, that this guy was probably a right-wing MAGA supporter. But it won’t work. He was appointed by Tim Walsh and the car he was driving had “No King” rally brochures. You know the ones warning people that Trump is a dictator who wants to be King, because he is daring to enforce existing law.

They may not have expected this, but they certainly wouldn’t have shed a tear if this deranged lunatic had shot at Trump or one of the horrible Republicans supporting him. They may pretend to be surprised but there is nothing surprising about this. With this kind of irresponsible rhetoric supported by non-stop trashing of Trump by the MSM, why would anyone be surprised?

Sadly, not one single prominently known Democrat has dare speak out against the violent and dangerous rhetoric. The person who came closest was John Fetterman and when he tried to make a couple of rational observations, they instantly trashed him.

But this time there’s a problem. This is too big of a story to ignore, and the facts are going to come out. They are already starting to surface and with Pam Bondi and Kash Patel on the hunt, it is going to be impossible to sweep the reality of this under the MSM blanket immunity program.

It is past time for responsible people in both parties to join together. Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. Get over it. You don’t have to like him or like his policies but the current strategy of calling him evil, a dictator, a wannabe king, a threat to Democracy must stop. The MAGA movement has been extremely non-violent, but at some point, if things don’t change, at least some of them will want to fight back. If this doesn’t stop, it may not matter who wins the next election, because they will be dealing with a real civil war.

Most of us have watched, with disgust, the massive misrepresentation of current events by the Democrat Party and its partners in the MSM. The sad reality is that they would prefer to do absolutely nothing about the millions of people who are in this country illegally. This is so bad that they even allowed some of the most dangerous criminals on this earth walk free. They labor under the illusion that if we treat bad people fairly, they will stop being bad. There is zero evidence to support this opinion. There is a mountain of evidence to show why this approach has always failed.

Now we have violent protests in Los Angeles and other cities designed to force the Trump administration to stop enforcing immigration laws. Just think about that. When these protests turn extremely violent, they are furious not at the violent protestors, but rather Donald Trump for daring to send in the National Guard to restore order.

These are the same people who have lied to us continually about everything. They lied about Joe Biden, ignoring the dangerous reality of having a Commander in Chief, President of the United States, who was mentally incapable to performing the awesome duties of that position. Then, when he is finally removed from office by an overwhelming vote for Donald Trump, they are trying to convince us that Donald Trump is the threat to Democracy. Do they really believe that?

But the problem is far worse than that. They have ignored the indisputable fact that Iran has been sponsoring terrorism all over the world. They downplay the horrific attack on Israel by Hamas and argue that it is Israel who is the threat to world peace by working to defeat Hamas.

Now we learn that Iran was extremely close to getting a Nuclear Weapon. Thank you, President Obama. Thank you, President Biden. It is now clear that Iran has zero interest in anything other than obtaining a nuclear weapon, that it intends to use against Israel and against us. It is impossible to overstate the threat to the entire world if a terrorist state like Iran obtains a nuclear weapon. If that happens there is no possibility of a good outcome.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki taught us all about the horrific damage that can be done by nuclear weapons. Today the weapons are much smaller, and they can do much more damage.

Last night Israel launched an attack on Iran and on its nuclear capacity. This is likely to last for several days. So far, while the rest of the world is doing nothing to help, they also aren’t condemning Israel. That is an enormous clue regarding the seriousness of this threat.

We all better hope and pray that Israel gets the job done. It is time for everyone to stop playing partisan politics and work together to protect this country. One of the major problems with all those illegal immigrants let in by several Presidents, but especially Joe Biden, is that at least some of them are dangerous terrorists. We can be certain that some of them were sent here by Iran, and they are likely to at least try to attack us and inflict the most horrific damage possible.

Since the people came into the country with no documentation, we don’t even know how many are here. It is sad that some good people, trying to be productive, will also be picked up by ICE and deported. But the blame for that falls on the people who let this happen, without regard to the consequences. Well welcome to the consequence.

In the meantime, pray that Israel succeeds. The cost of failure is beyond imagination.

When Donald Trump was elected President in 2016, he did not understand the deep state and he was unprepared to deal with it. Some federal officials view the President as a transient figure in the Oval Office. If they don’t like him, they just ignore him or even sabotage him, certain that they will remain in power long after he finished his term of office. (I used him because, so far, all U.S. Presidents have been male.)

If you want to see a parallel of this, check out the Cambridge Spies miniseries from 2003. It tells the all too true story of five Cambridge students recruited by the Russian KGB.

The series concentrates on Guy Burgess, Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, and Donald MacClean. John Cairncross was also recruited at Cambridge. He worked as a German Translator at Bletchley Park, contributing to the ENIGMA/Ultra project. This gave him access to secret information he gladly supplied the Soviet Union in direct opposition to Churchill’s orders.

https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/profile/john-cairncross/

He was awarded the Order of the Red Banner (a Soviet military decoration). Incredibly he was transferred to MI6 and later he returned to the Treasury. It is believed that he provided the Soviet Union with information regarding the Atomic Bomb.

When Burgess and McClean fled England to avoid investigation, handwritten notes found in Burgess’s home were linked to Cairncross. He denied being a Soviet Spy. But was forced to resign from the resign from civil service. Incredibly, he moved to the United States where he taught at Northwestern University and Case Western Reserve University.

When Kim Philby defected to the Soviet Union in 1964. Cairncross finally admitted to being a Soviet Spy but was never prosecuted. He wrote memoirs bragging about this in a book called “The Enigma Spy,” published in 1997, two years after his death.

I did not watch the entire series, because it was too disgusting. But one of the significant things was that Guy Burgess was caught doing something extremely disgusting. This was covered up by “the British establishment” at Cambridge which told Burgess he was part of the club so they would protect him. While this may not be historically accurate, it is extremely accurate in portraying the un-elected elitists who consider themselves destined, by the God they don’t believe in, to make decisions for everyone else.

It would be naïve to believe that such people do not also exist here, in the U.S. They are equally arrogant, contemptable, and stupid. Nothing matters to them other than retaining personal power.

This helps explain why the FBI, the CIA and others were more than willing to do anything and everything to obstruct Donald Trump during his first four years in office. It explains the unprecedented lawfare against him using non-existent facts and ridiculous arguments to obtain convictions against him in hopelessly prejudiced courts. This was done solely so they could call him a convicted felon and prevent him from winning.

But he did win, he knows all about the deep state and he is determined to defeat it. We better hope he succeeds. Those remaining in power and their friends in the MSM are still on a mission to stop Trump, which is why the attack, lies, and misinformation continue daily. Whatever Trump does is horrible, and everything he says is dismissed as a lie. None of this requires any facts or evidence.

But there is a problem. In their desperation to destroy Trump, the Deep States is exposing itself as never before with disastrous results. Ironically, replacing Donald Trump with Joe Biden as President may lead to their downfall. The truth is coming out, it is extremely ugly, and it is increasingly difficult to ignore. Joe Biden, a mentally deficient “placeholder” President vacationed on the beach while unelected elitists made incredibly stupid decisions that destroyed our economy and left the world on the brink of war with Iran racing toward a nuclear weapon that they would be almost certain to use. Yet if you ask any of them about this, they will argue that Joe did an excellent job.

One thing the deep state has in common with the Cambridge five is that even when confronted with their treachery, they never considered admitting they were wrong. So don’t expect the members of the deep state to ever admit they were wrong either. Instead, they will continue to blame everything on Donald Trump, foolishly expecting the American people to buy this nonsense. Fortunately, few are buying this nonsense anymore and ultimately this is how Donald Trump will deep six at least part of the deep state.

Benedict Arnold has become synonymous with “treason and betrayal.” He was a major general in the American Continental army who fought with distinction. George Washington placed Arnold in command of West Point. But it turned out that Benedict Arnold was a traitor, who secretly planned to surrender West Point to the British.

Benedict Arnold – General and Traitor, Age, Married, Children and more

Benedict Arnold is hardly the only person discovered to be a traitor. What made him famous was the significance of the position of power he held and the absolute and complete betrayal of those who trusted him. If he had been successful in surrendering West Point, the results of the American Revolution might have been very different.

Recently the Democrat Party and its supporters in the MSM have been exposed as modern-day Benedict Arnolds. Their irresponsible behavior and betrayal put not only our National Security, but also our democracy at risk. The reason the President of the United States has such enormous power is that this position is directly responsible for protecting this country against the worst imaginable threats. A President of the United States may be confronted with making decisions that could impact every person on this planet. The President of the United States has the authority to launch a nuclear attack against our enemies. It is unthinkable to put such power in the hands of someone who lacks the mental capacity, character, and experience necessary to manage such power responsibly.

Joe Biden was given this power, even though the Democrat Party and the MSM knew, or should have known, that he was unqualified to manage the awesome responsibilities of this office. The coverup of Joe Biden has been shredded and even some people who thrived in maintaining the coverup are pretending they are also shocked. Only a fool dominated by Trump Derangement Syndrome would even consider believing them. It is now clear, that in addition to the obvious mental decline, Joe Biden has been seriously ill with prostate cancer for many years. No one even pretends that Joe Biden was remotely capable of being President, yet the coverup continued until Joe’s performance in that debate with Donald Trump made his mental incompetence too obvious for anyone to ignore.

Historically Speaking: Benedict Arnold tries to justify his treason

The Democrat Party and the MSM have been caught with eggs benedict all over their faces. Like Benedict Arnold, they betrayed us all and put the entire world at risk. Benedict Arnold never admitted to his mistake. Instead, he wrote an open letter to “the inhabitants of America.”

“Very few words, however, shall suffice on a subject so personal, for to the thousands who suffer under the tyranny of the usurpers in the revolted Provinces … as to that class of men who are criminally protracting the war from sinister views, at the expense of the public interest, I prefer their enmity to their applause.”

He stupidly thought people would ignore his treason and embrace the ridiculous. Sound familiar? It didn’t work. Instead, he was burned in effigy and his name became synonymous with treason and traitor.

New London’s Tradition of Burning Benedict Arnold…in Effigy – Who Knew? – Connecticut History | a CTHumanities Project

He escaped to England. He was not buried with military honors, although one of his descendants funded research that reached the conclusion that he actioned with pure intentions. Few bought that then and few buy it now.

Benedict Arnold’s London Residence – Atlas Obscura

Those who have eggs benedict all over their faces, do not deserve any praise, they are nothing more or less than traitors who committed treason. But perhaps, the more important question is: “if they were lying about this, what else were they lying about.” For years these same people told us that the big lie was Trump claiming the 2020 election was stolen. They routinely demanded people confirm that the 2020 election was valid. The sad reality is that this election was “ratified” before it was “verified.” The more we learn, the more questions raised. The only thing we know for sure, at this point, is who was lying about nearly everything, and who was not.

The most significant thing to remember about Benedict Arnold is that once he was exposed, no one ever trusted him again. That is exactly what people should learn from “eggs benedict.”

The Democrat dream team has produced a real nightmare. They had defeated Donald Trump and selected Joe Biden to be our Commander in Chief. It is now beyond obvious that he was never close to being qualified for the position. But that didn’t matter. He wasn’t Donald Trump and nothing else mattered.

But there was a problem. Joe was the problem. They successfully hid him during the 2020 campaign. They tried to hide him during his entire Presidency. Every appearance was carefully choreographed. If there were reporters involved, they were given written questions for which Joe had answers written for him by someone else. But the problem is that Joe is, well, Joe. The minute he went off script he started spouting nonsense and told ridiculous stories about personal accomplishments that were not only false, but they were also absurd. For example, he bragged about hitting a ball off the fence during a congressional baseball game. This was so absurd that even Snopes could not pretend this was close to accurate.

Did Biden Get a Mighty Hit at Congressional Baseball Game in the ’70s? | Snopes.com

Many people knew about the problems with Joe Biden. They all conspired to hide this the American people. Congressional Democrats expressed outrage if anyone dared question Biden’s mental acuity. We were constantly told he was as sharp as a tack. The fawning MSM went along with the cover-up. Then there was the famous debate with Donald Trump, and Joe was so horrible that the cover-up fell apart. It was too late to hold a real primary, so they were stuck with Kamala Harris, the ultimate DEI choice. Biden repeatedly said his VP would be a Black female. He chose Kamala Harris. The same Kamala Harris who was the first candidate to drop out of the 2020 Presidential primaries.

Recently there have been several people who decided to come clean regarding Biden’s mental decline. Of course they are lying about the timing, but at least they finally admit the decline is too obvious to ignore. This was bad enough, then the Hur tapes, where Biden was interviewed regarding his mishandling of classified files were released, and oh boy. All the usual suspects who trashed Hur and tried to pretend that Joe was still as sharp as a tack were exposed as total frauds.

Now Democrats are engaged in a circular firing squad, taking pot shots at each other. No one was buying this, so, in an act beyond desperation they disclosed that Joe Biden was also terminally ill with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Apparently, they thought the sympathy vote would overwhelm all the negativity. But they missed something big. His cancer is so advanced that he has had this for years. His medical providers are either incompetent or they conspired to hide this from the American people. While a lot of people are genuinely sad to see anyone with this prognosis, it does not detract from the cover-up regarding everything Joe Biden. In fact, it just makes the cover-up look even worse.

The only justification for any of this is Trump Derangement Syndrome. Biden was selected to be the candidate in 2020 for two reasons. One, he wasn’t Bernie Sanders. Two, the other candidates were so awful that it was decided Joe was the only one with a chance to beat Donald Trump. Qualifications for the job were not a consideration.

Democrats and the MSM has been lying about everything for years. They constantly misquoted Trump or took things out of context. They consistently covered up for Joe Biden. The lying about Trump has not changed, but they can’t even pretend that Joe Biden was remotely qualified. They just blame everything and everyone other than themselves. They consider themselves the “dream team” but they are just a nightmare.

The following article on MSN is a classic example of what is seriously wrong with the MSM. In their lust to trash Donald Trump, at any cost, they continue to distort reality. Whether this is simply the result of stupidity or is a continuing effort to put Democrats in power permanently, the effect is the same.

Retirees face potential 33% benefit cut under new tax plan; Here’s why

“While this might initially seem beneficial, experts warn it could lead to a significant reduction in Social Security benefits, potentially cutting them by 33% by 2035.”

Trump wants to eliminate tax on Social Security benefits because people who paid for Social Security Benefits, for years while being employed, should not be punished by continuing to pay taxes after retiring. Seems simple, but the MSM has somehow decided this will cause social security benefits to be cut by 2035.

Republicans have never cut Social Security benefits. Obama cut them, three times, by not approving a cost-of-living increase.

The following chart by AARP shows social security COLA increases by year:

History of Social Security COLA Increases by Year

2010 – Obama – 0

2011 – Obama – 0

2016 – Obama – 0

If Social Security runs out of money, the person most to blame was President William Jefferson Clinton. The following article from factcheck.org documents this.

The Budget and Deficit Under Clinton – FactCheck.org

“Clinton’s large budget surpluses also owe much to the Social Security tax on payrolls. Social Security taxes now bring in more than the cost of current benefits, and the “Social Security surplus” makes the total deficit or surplus figures look better than they would if Social Security weren’t a factor.”

This was ignored by the MSM. Republicans tried and failed to get Clinton to stop “Washington’s budget practice of stealing from the Social Security Trust Fund.”

GOP House leaders want Clinton to recommit to Social Security ‘lockbox’ – September 14, 1999

So once again the MSM, encouraged by irresponsible and deliberately misleading attacks by the increasingly left-wing Democrat Party, is falsely accusing Republicans of cutting Social Security. Once again, they ignored the person who deserves most of the blame, Bill Clinton. In fairness both Reagan and George H.W. Bush also spent part of the Social Security surplus. Bill Clinton just had more funds available, and he did this at the worst possible time. If a private insurance company managed money like Social Security the management would be lucky to avoid criminal prosecution.

Neither party should be proud of this, but at least Republicans tried to fix this in 1999, and they tried again in 2023.

The good news is that both the MSM and the Democrat Party have been caught lying too many times that fewer people buy this nonsense anymore. My sad prediction is that both parties will just kick the can down the road, hoping once again, that tomorrow never comes. Or perhaps, more accurately, that if tomorrow comes it will be “someone else’s problem”

The Hippocratic Oath is historically taken by physicians setting standards of performance. It was designed to hold doctors to a high ethical standard. Lately, it appears that a high percentage of Democrat leaders and their fawning supporters in the MSM have instead taken the “Hypocritical Oath.”

Following is the standard definition of hypocrite:

HYpocrit – Search

“The term “hypocrite” refers to a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion or someone who claims to have particular moral beliefs but behaves in a way that contradicts those beliefs. Essentially, a hypocrite is someone who preaches one thing but practices another.”

Democrats routinely express outrage at Republicans for allegedly doing things they have done. The most classic example is regarding political lawfare. The Biden Administration and local prosecutors were fully engaged in investigating Trump in an attempt to convict him of something. The result was a serious of show trials that often-required Trump’s personal attendance during his campaign for President. He was “convicted” of violating campaign finance laws by allegedly authorizing a payment to silence Stormy Daniels. This case was so flimsy even the federal prosecutors refused to file. So, Leticia James, who ran on a campaign to investigate Trump and convict him of something, chose to charge Trump for a state crime based on a federal statute, the feds were unwilling or unable to prosecute. Then he was tried for mortgage fraud for allegedly overstating his real estate assets. The bank involved had no complaints and no one lost any money. But facts are irrelevant to an out-of-control prosecutors and a jury hand picked out of a region where 80% of the people voted for Biden.

Democrats routinely call Trump a convicted felon. Both cases will almost certainly be dismissed by a higher court. But that was never the goal. The sole goal was to allow Democrats to refer to Trump as a convicted felon. Something they continue to do to this very day.

Now new Prosecutors are pursuing Democrats who committed real crimes for which there is tangible evidence. In response, Democrats who rejoiced at lawfare against Trump, are horrified that it would be used to prosecute obviously guilty people. No one is above the law, unless, of course, one is a Democrat politician.

There are numerous other examples, but it would get boring to list them all. Another recent example is Democrats hyperventilating over Trump deporting an MS13 gang member here illegally, while ignoring the inconvenient fact that both Clinton and Obama deported large numbers of people with no hint of “due process.” Again, the standard is if a Democrat politician does this, it is fine, but if Trump does it, a crime against humanity.

The bottom line is that whenever a Democrat accuses Trump of doing something, one should consider investigating similar actions taken by Democrats. Do not be surprised to learn that, once again, Democrats have elevated hypocrisy to whole new level. I call it the “Hypocritical oath,” since so many of them have sworn allegiance to this. Of course, the members of the MSM who swore allegiance to the same oath are extremely unlikely to notice.

Sometimes it is hard to tell if Trump is very quick to respond or if something was his plan all along. One prime example was when he announced that Matt Gaetz was his nominee for Attorney General. That shot was heard round the world, with massive opposition from both sides of the aisle. I have to admit when I first read this, I thought it was a joke. Matt Gaetz is a very bright and interesting, guy who knows how to draw attention. He also comes with a record amount of baggage. In addition, he had somehow managed to make himself hated almost equally by both parties.

Well, that didn’t last long, did it. Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress. He was replaced in congress by a strong Republican you don’t know, and that was the point. Trump rather quickly withdrew his nomination and replaced him with Pam Bondi, who coasted through confirmation. Game, set, match.

There are certain RINO Republicans who can be counted on to always put their own self interests above the party and certainly well above supporting Donald Trump. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins top the list, with Mitch McConnell frequently joining in on the chorus. More recently, Senator Thom Tillis announced that he could not approve of Ed Martin for U.S. Attorney in D.C. He was fine with Martin, anywhere else, but not D.C. The reason was that Tillis still breaks out into a cold sweat at the thought of January 6^th, which genuinely scared a lot of people used to living in the protective Washington D.C. Capital bubble.

So Martin is withdrawn, and replaced by, wait for it, Judge Jeanine Pirro. Good luck with Murkowski and Collins objecting to a female, who is the daughter of Lebanese American parents! She isn’t exactly your traditional Anglo-Saxon white girl. Meantime Ed Martin is moving to the Department of Justice as the new Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General and Pardon Attorney. Nice! Whether intentional or not, Trump may have just pulled off the ultimate bait and switch, again.

Some people believed that Washington D.C. started out as a swamp and never changed; that is not exactly true. It actually was firm, dry riverbank, which slopes steadily upward from the Potomac, between Rock Creek and the Anacostia River.

The Myth That Washington Was a Swamp Will Never Go Away

If you want money from the federal government, this is the place to be. About 90% of people living in DC are Democrats, 8 percent are independents, and probably 2% admit, or perhaps pretend, to be Republicans. That is why liberals love dragging people they want to convict into a DC court room. It is why so many January 6^th defendants were convicted and given long prison sentences. It is why people charged with crimes, were acquitted despite mountains of evidence presented by Special Counsel John Durham. Durham, a highly respected prosecutor. He took years to develop airtight cases that were laughed out of court because the defendants were Democrats and the court was in Washington D.C. Predictably, this has become a haven for criminals and while violent crime statistics have been improving, they are still bad. Ed Martin was actually doing a good job at fixing that, which is probably another reason why Democrats and RINOs were so determined to see him go.

Welcome to Judge Jeanine, famous for being on THE FIVE, who is only 5’ 4” and not exactly famous for backing off. She was a determined prosecutor, a judge and finally,  District Attorney of Westchester Country. She is not exactly afraid to state her opinions and she is very, very bright. Liberal Democrats are throwing up and wishing they had Ed Martin back. RINO Republicans are wondering how they can oppose this nomination and have any change of winning re-election. Conservatives are having trouble suppressing the giggles. When I told my wife who Trump nominated to be the U.S. Attorney for DC, she literally laughed out loud and asked, “Are you serious?”

Here’s the even better news. If the Senate doesn’t like her, Trump will just withdraw the nomination and pick someone else. Has anyone seen Matt Gaetz lately.
