Sometimes, it is easy to predict some things. For example, it is always easy to predict that the weather will be warmer in June rather than in February, unless you live in San Francisco or the Southern Hemisphere. But other times we are confronted with “so-called” experts who are predicting outcomes with solemnity and extreme confidence. The problem is that there are often other “so-called” experts predicting the exact opposite.  We saw this played out on center stage with COVID 19. The experts, worshiped by the liberal left and the MSM were wrong. They were wrong about almost everything. The “so-called” experts who disagreed were either ignored or silenced, but that did not make them wrong. Many of their predictions were startlingly accurate.

This sad reality must be taken into consideration when evaluating the recent indictment of Donald Trump by a Grand Jury at the request of Jack Smith. If you watch the MSM or listen to the “experts” then Trump is in serious legal jeopardy and could spend the rest of his life in prison. But other experts, ignored or silenced, are warning that the walls may not exactly be closing in on Donald Trump this time either. So, I read the indictment, the legal arguments and legal precedent. Court precedent is most important, because it is rare for a court to rule against precedent. It does happen but it is rare.

It is important to remember that the Special Prosecutor has an earned reputation for abuse of prosecutorial power. Specifically, regarding instructions given to a grand jury and later a jury. He managed to convict Bob McDonnell, former governor of Virginia, of bribery. That verdict was overturned by the Supreme Court in a unanimous decision because of prosecutorial misconduct. Jack Smith told both the grand jury and the trial jury that the actions taken by Bob McDonnell constituted an official act. The Supreme Court determined that his over-broad definition of an official act would make almost any act by a sitting Governor to be an official act. Choosing Jack Smith to be the Special Prosecutor may be the ultimate unforced error.

In this case, the Presidential Records Act is in play. Here is a copy of that act:

Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978 | National Archives

• Places the responsibility for the custody and management of incumbent Presidential records with the President.
• Requires that the President and his staff take all practical steps to file personal records separately from Presidential records.
• Allows the incumbent President to dispose of records that no longer have administrative, historical, informational, or evidentiary value, once the views of the Archivist of the United States on the proposed disposal have been obtained in writing.
• Establishes in law that any incumbent Presidential records (whether textual or electronic) held on courtesy storage by the Archivist remain in the exclusive legal custody of the President and that any request or order for access to such records must be made to the President, not NARA.

Bill Clinton was caught hiding personal recordings. The court ruled, without regard to whether this was fair, that the President had the sole authority to manage this process. This was called the Clinton Socks cases. You can look it up yourself. Several of the so-called experts are claiming this previous case is irrelevant. But these same experts think that anything done by Donald Trump is different, whether regarding classified documents or anything else. In their minds, Trump is always guilty and people like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden are innocent as doves. That, like many of their opinions, doesn’t make much sense.

I would not be surprised to see the case against Donald Trump dismissed by a court for several reasons. In addition to the Presidential Records Act, there is a serious question as to whether the search warrant(s) were even legal. Why was the FBI authorized to monitor a private conversation between Donald Trump and a donor? Remember, Democrats impeached Donald Trump for daring to suggest President Zelensky to investigate possible fraud in Ukraine. Trump was right, there was evidence of fraud. But Democrats chose to impeach Trump, for daring to ask the question, while ignoring the evidence implicating Joe Biden. If a court were to find that the FBI raid on Mar-a-logo was not justified, or that the wiretapping of Donald Trump was improper, all the evidence resulting from that raid and those voice recordings would be inadmissible.

If you listen to the MSM, you might assume that Trump is guilty of treason. They want him to be convicted and sentenced to die in prison. Their hatred of him literally leaps off the screen. But hatred does not trump reasoned thought. It is not a substitute for legal process.

The real goal of these indictments is to eliminate Donald Trump as a candidate for President. In the minds of the Democratic party, Kool Aid drinking liberals and the MSM this is inevitable. But ironically the backlash may do the exact opposite. It may make him impossible to defeat. Sometimes the greatest gift of all is having an incompetent opponent.

Somethings are certain. Joe Biden is going to come under far more serious legal scrutiny than anything dreamed up against Donald Trump. The truth is coming out and more people are starting to understand. That sound you hear next may be the thundering heard, the loud voice of people who are tired of being ignored.

The obvious intent of the indictment against Donald Trump was to end any chance of him being elected President in 2024. However, in their desperation to destroy Trump, those participating in this nightmare may have destroyed themselves in the process. It is important to note the difference between the John Durham investigation and the investigation by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith.

John Durham was chosen because he has a long record of being non-partisan. Regardless of what you may think of William Barr, he was careful to protect the integrity of that investigation. The result is that few challenge the findings in his report. CNN ignored them, but they don’t challenge them. There were very few leaks from the Durham investigation.

I am not a lawyer, but I have experience as a litigation manager. There is an old saying among attorneys. “If you have the facts, pound the facts, if you don’t have the facts, pound the opposition, if you can’t pound the facts or the opposition, just pound.” The most dangerous attorneys are not the ones who make a lot of noise. It is rather those who do their homework, make sure of their facts and stay focused.

The investigation into Donald Trump has been rampant with leaks. Leaks that sure appear to have come from the Special Counsel. Most recently, there are all those pictures of what are supposedly top-secret documents stored in places like a bathroom. We do not know who took those pictures. We do not know what was in those boxes. All we know that the pictures of these boxes were leaked, by the Special Counsel, in a clear effort to try Trump in the press before attempting to try him in a court of law.

There has been some absurd reporting and naïve reporting. For example, the MSM keeps talking about classified documents, but the actual indictment describes “documents with classified markings.” It may surprise some to learn that can possess top-secret document, with classified markings, without breaking any laws. I had such a document. It was marked top secret. It was the ship log from a submarine patrol where the submarine commander was awarded the medal of honor. But the mission involved happened in 1945, and it had been declassified long before it was given to me. It still would have fallen into the definition of a document with classified markings. But it was no longer a classified document. Big difference. I wonder if CNN will ever figure that out.

While there is outrage that Donald Trump had some of these documents, there is zero evidence this compromised national security. The smoking gun is where he allegedly discussed having a document with classified information while trying to impress someone. He talked about plans for an invasion of Iran that never happened and is not going to happen. While one can argue that Trump should not have discussed this document with anyone who didn’t have a security clearance, this was hardly a threat to national security.

The real risk for the DOJ and the FBI is if they cannot make this case. This is unprecedented and clearly partisan. One suspects, based on reports, that Barack Obama may have also failed to properly turn over classified documents in his possession. One knows that Joe Biden had classified documents, in his possession, stored inappropriately, and, as Vice President, he never had the power to declassify anything. Even Mike Pence was caught with possession of classified documents, but the DOJ and the FBI chose not to charge him. The standard is clear, the primary reason for indicting Donald Trump is that he is Donald Trump. It is laughable to describe this as equal justice under the law. The sole purpose of this indictment is to stop Donald Trump from becoming President again.

The sad reality is that even if Trump is convicted, few of his supporters will trust the results. By bringing this indictment the DOJ and the FBI have only exposed themselves as being hopelessly partisan. Choosing someone like Jack Smith, who is obviously highly partisan as special prosecutor was an enormous mistake. Jack Smith indicted Republican Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell, only to have the U.S. Supreme Court vote “unanimously” to vacate that conviction, citing the use of an overbroad definition of an “official act.” Sound familiar? Jack Smith also investigation Republican Senator John Ensign, Republican House Majority Leader Tom Delay, and Republican Congressional Representative Don Young. He also investigated Democrats John Edwards and Democratic Congressional Representative Allan Mollohan. No convictions.

Only Fox News noticed:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-indictment-ridiculed-reagan-doj-official-citing-jack-smith-mcdonnell-edwards-cases

Even if Jack Smith was totally non-partisan, his record of failing to gain convictions in such high-profile cases should have strongly suggested choosing someone else. This has the appearance of him being chosen precisely because he likes to pursue high profile cases other prosecutors would probably decline.

At best, this indictment will get Donald Trump out of the race, which is the primary goal. But at what cost.  We must have faith in the DOJ and the FBI to do the right thing for the right reason. That trust has been shattered and regardless of whether Donald Trump has been convicted or not, this is a lose-lose scenario. If a Republican wins, the mission will be to either dismantle these organizations or engage in major house cleaning. Even Democrats will support that, because they will fear Republicans will use the DOJ and the FBI as political arms of the Republican Party, just like the Democrats have done.

If Trump is removed from the race, and Joe Biden wins re-election with Kamala Harris as VP, few people will have any remaining confidence in the office of President of the United States.  But if Donald Trump is elected, a lot of people will also have little confidence is the office of President of the United States.

This will truly be the endless summer, extremely hot, and unlikely to benefit anyone. Nice!

The liberal left and the Democratic party are clearly at war with most Americans. Their hypocrisy, double standard and outright corruption are now on full display. It is impossible to even pretend that Democrats are interested in honest and fair debate about anything. Lesson learned.

I have no doubt that Donald Trump failed to fully comply with the standards forced upon him by the National Archives. They demanded he turn over any document in his possession, including those marked confidential. The theory is that only the National Archives can be trusted with this information. That would be a better argument if the National Archives, the DOJ, and the FBI were not hopelessly partisan.

Here is an article that outlines what is in those documents:

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/06/07/reminder-what-was-in-the-mar-a-lago-documents/

The Special Prosecutor will try to portray this as a threat to national security. But, so far, I have seen zero evidence of Trump giving any information to our enemies. He may have refused to turn over the January 6^th documents because he knows that Democrats will selectively edit them to try and elevate the false narrative that this was an attempt to overthrow the government. Anyone who watched the January 6^th committee in action knows that is a real concern.

Trump, like a lot of people, thought the 2020 election was riddled with fraud. There are many people whining loudly that this was a lie and there was zero evidence of fraud. But that is nonsense. All of us saw what was happening. The real lie is that there was nothing possibly wrong. Granted there wasn’t enough evidence to get the courts to respond. It is true that there wasn’t enough evidence to get the DOJ and the FBI to investigate.  Sadly, no one, in a position to do something to fix this, did anything. Many people feared that the worst case was rejecting the results of that election. They were wrong. The worst case was putting someone as corrupt and incompetent as Joe Biden in the White House with no option to correct that error. That is why Trump was begging congress to send this back to the state legislatures to evaluate. We are all paying a very high price for this error in judgement.

There is precedence for congress taking similar action when a national election looks to be hopelessly compromised. That is exactly what happened following the election of 1876:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/rutherford-b-hayes/#:~:text=Hayes’s%20election%20depended%20upon%20contested,Commission%20to%20decide%20the%20dispute.

“Hayes’s election depended upon contested electoral votes in Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida. If all the disputed electoral votes went to Hayes, he would win; a single one would elect Tilden. Months of uncertainty followed. In January 1877 Congress established an Electoral Commission to decide the dispute.”

This is what Trump was asking Mike Pence to do. To delay certifying an election and to establish a commission to investigate. Pence interpreted the constitution to forbid him from doing anything other than just certifying results as submitted.

One may not agree with Trump’s request, but it is a far cry from insurrection. Incredibly, the same DOJ and FBI that is desperately trying to delay any investigation of Joe Biden has put unlimited resources into indicting and convicting anyone who was near the capitol on January 6^th. Now they have literally indicted Donald Trump for what is clearly political reasons. They leaked word on the indictments on the same day details were being released about the alleged bribery by Joe Biden. Coincidence?

If the DOJ and the FBI are successful in convicting Donald Trump and preventing him from running for re-election, then our democracy will officially be over. It will no longer matter what most people want or think in any future federal election, because the people in power do not care. They only care about preserving their own power. Trump may indeed be convicted, but odds are high this will be reversed later. Democrats know this, they don’t care. They will do anything to stop Donald Trump.

Most people do not want to believe the worst about anyone. Most do not want to believe that Democrats will shred democracy to retain power. They do not want to believe that our DOJ and the FBI have become highly partisan tools of the permanent regime. They don’t want to believe this and the MSM has absolutely refused to even consider this. This is why indicting Donald Trump, for refusing to turn over these documents to people he considers to be hopelessly corrupt is likely to backfire to an extent few thought possible.

There are signs of true revolt. Not a battle fought with guns and ammunition, but rather by simply voting with wallets and feet. People are refusing to continue buying products from companies that openly offend them. They are deserting Democratic run states and Democratic run cities.

Abraham Lincoln said:  “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

This ridiculous decision to indict Donald Trump while ignoring the Biden crime family is too stupid and too obvious to ignore. We are engaged in a War of the Worlds, and there is no alternative to victory.

Christ Licht has just been fired as chairman and CEO of CNN. CNN ratings were already in the toilet when he arrived. The only thing he accomplished was moving the toilet to a lower floor. He did manage to get rid of people like Bryan Stelter and Don Lemon. But he never managed to even come close to making CNN “the most trusted name in news.” Those days are probably gone forever.

The Trump townhall backfired big time. The reason is that a lot of people at CNN consider Trump to be the spawn of Satan and they would never consider treating him fairly. They hate Trump and this hatred clearly seeps out through their pores. A lot of the CNN personalities who had major roles in making CNN unwatchable, rebelled against Licht for trying to change anything. They succeeded, for now, as he is gone, and they are still there.

If you want to see the real source of the problems at CNN, read this comment by David Zaslav, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/ceo-chris-licht-out-at-cnn

“While we know we have work to do as we look to identify a new leader, we have absolute confidence in the team we have in place and will continue to fight for CNN and its world class journalism.”

Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Those who cannot understand that the team in place at CNN is exactly the problem, can’t possibly fix the problem. Right now, I would rate the odds that CNN will survive slightly lower than for Bud Light and Target.

The fall of CNN is just typical of what is happening everywhere. There is a simple rule here that is ignored to one’s peril. If you are a major company and people stop buying your product, you are a former major company. It is important to distinguish between people who are working for a living and who buy your product and those who would prefer just stealing it. Most Americans are too busy working to spend time shrieking and hollering at the top of their lungs demanding everyone else listen. The “silent majority” has just learned something big. If they stop buying what you’re trying to sell, you are in big trouble. Just ask the executives at Bud Light and Target how this works.

It will be very interesting to see who is the new CEO of CNN. If it is more of the same, don’t be surprised to see remarkably similar results. Just at a time when people are searching for someone to trust, CNN has put itself at the top of the list of those we know cannot be trusted.

One final thought. Imagine yourself a PGA tour professional. You were one of the guys who slammed the unethical idiots who signed with LIV golf for millions of dollars. Now those guys are smiling at you and saying: “who’s the dummy now?”

The incident where Joe Biden fell, again, during the graduation ceremony at the Air Force Academy graduation may have more impact than most people can imagine. He struggled to get up again but did not appear to suffer significant injury. However, in the case of Joe Biden, his doctors are far from candid about anything.

But the real problem is that this 32 second video shown round the world. This is impossible to unsee. Predictably, Biden immediately blamed everything on something else. In this case an alleged sandbag that he tripped over. He even joked about being sandbagged. However, trusting Joe Biden to give an honest or accurate account of anything would be more than a reach. He not only lies, but he also tells ridiculous lies that are impossible to believe. While his supporters, who never miss a change to call Trump a liar, seldom seem to notice, these lies are beyond obvious. Sky News recently ran a clip of him claiming to have played Rugby. This of course was shortly after he climbed Mt. Everest, Mt. Denali, and Mt. Kilimanjaro on the same day.

Even people who consider Biden to be the worst President in American history were jolted by the reminder that Kamala Harris, who would be much, much worse, is a heartbeat away from the Presidency. That thought frightened everyone.

The reality is that both Biden’s Presidency and his personal health are on sinking sand. Few honest people would give odds of him surviving as President until 2028, assuming he manages to get re-elected. If he were to survive, it is hard to imagine him being able to speak. This may be brutal and unkind, but it is reality.

When you combine this with reports that most Americans believe Biden to be corrupt and a huge majority of Democrats do not want him to run, and it is impossible to defend the status quo. Are Democrats really prepared to let Biden coast to re-election, with no challengers and not even any debates? Whether they realize it or not, that would amount to political suicide. The only explanation for this is that they believe Donald Trump will win the Republican nomination and that anything, even Joe Biden, would be a better option. The hatred of Donald Trump by Democrats is impossible to underestimate. They would rather see the country fail than to see him succeed.

Normally, when someone is elected President of the United States, even political enemies respect the office and respect the awesome responsibility. Leaders in both parties realize that the President must be supported because our national security demands other nations respect the office. Yet when Donald Trump was elected, Democrats immediately set about to prevent him from governing. This started when Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats in retaliation for U.S. election hacking. We now know that this was blamed on the Russia Collusion hoax, that Obama knew was false and that he knew was authored by the Hillary Clinton campaign. The only explanation for this action was to sabotage Donald Trump before he took the oath of office.

Obama expels 35 Russian diplomats in retaliation for US election hacking | Obama administration | The Guardian

Democrats even tried to impeach Donald Trump twice and remove him from office. If he is elected in 2024, we can guarantee that Democrats and their supporters in the MSM will once again engage in a campaign to prevent him from governing.

The result is that in addition to the Biden administration being on sinking sand, the entire future of our country is on sinking sand. We need a President of the United States who is respected as our Commander in Chief all over the world. There is no substitute.

It is important to remember who is responsible for this mess. In 2017, Republicans controlled both the House and the Senate. Yet they failed to defend the office of President of the United States from our enemies, foreign and domestic. They wanted Donald Trump to fail because many of them hate him too. But they did this out of total disregard for the impact on the country, and themselves. They have paid a heavy price for this, but the country has paid a much higher price.

The good news for Republicans is that they have flushed out their sinking sand and the result is a leaner, meaner Republican Party. Democrats, on the other hand, have learned nothing and if they do not wise up and take drastic action, they will risk being washed out to see with the tide of history. One hopes they do not take the rest of the country with them.

I have always liked kettle corn. Unfortunately, that does not mean it is good for me. But it tastes good, even when served cold. That is the whole point. Today, we are seeing a whole new kind of kettle corn, it is going to taste terrific, and it actually is very good for us.

There is the old saying: “the pot calling the kettle black.”

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/pot-calling-the-kettle-black

“something you say that means people should not criticize someone else for a fault that they have themselves.”

Democrats literally impeached Donald Trump for saying the following in a phone call with President Zelenskyy:

“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it… It sounds horrible to me.”

“Trump’s impeachment came after a former House inquiry found that he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to help his re-election bid and then obstructed the inquiry itself by telling his administration official to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony.”

Now we are being inundated with indisputable evidence that the Hunter Biden was absolutely involved in corrupt activities in The Ukraine and there is a video of Joe Biden admitting he threated $1 billion in aid to The Ukraine if they did not immediately fire the prosecutor who dared to investigate his son.

The Hunter Biden laptop revealed a tale of corruption at a scale few people can even imagine. Incredibly, the DOJ and the FBI conspired to cover this up during the 2020 election. Well, the chickens are coming home to roost with numbers that are impossible to ignore. CBS is even asking questions. This House of Representatives is investigating those who helped cover this up. Yesterday, at the White House press conference a New York Post reporter asked an obvious question:

The reporter basically asked about the whistleblowers revelations and a poll showing that most Americans now believe Joe Biden is corrupt.  You can see this for yourself on the following twitter feed. We can be sure that if Ilan Musk did not own Twitter, this clip would never have been allowed to be posted.

John Kirby is visibly shaken and literally cannot even respond at first, he just sighs, then stutters and leaves the stage. When he did speak, I doubt he impressed anyone other than people like Anderson Cooper.

This is too delicious to ignore, even for those in the MSM who have tried desperately to avoid reporting on this. The truth is coming out and those who do not get in front of this story will be trampled by those scrambling to get a front row seat. Just think of the significance of this situation. A President of the United States was literally impeached for daring to point out the truth about potential corruption by Joe Biden. A truth so obvious that most Americans now realize Joe Biden is corrupt. We are going to see a lot of people try and distance themselves from Joe Biden as fast as far as they can possibly go. It won’t work and revenge, like kettle corn, is best served cold.

117. The House voted yesterday to approve the budget deal negotiated by Kevin McCarthy. The vote was 314 to 117. While some conservative Republicans are angry, the reality is that Kevin McCarthy got 165 Democrats to vote for this. Nancy Pelosi seldom got any Republican votes on anything. He is far more powerful than Nancy Pelosi in her fondest dreams. He is taking on Joe Biden and his corruption. Do not underestimate this.

The soap opera, “As The World Turns” was being broadcast when the Kennedy Assassination happened in Dallas, Texas. Since these shows were produced live at the time, the actors just kept on performing and did not learn about the assassination until after the show had ended. But people watching the show on CBS were interrupted first by New Bulletins and later, after the cameras had warmed up, a picture of Walter Cronkite delivering updates on the incredible developments.

Years earlier, long before television, another type of real-life soap opera was taking place in Skagway Alaska. Soap Smith, a notorious con artist, had become the head of a criminal underworld operating out of Skagway. They perfected the art of fleecing gullible wantabe gold miners. For a long time, Soap Smith appeared to be the only power in Skagway. But there was a group of honest citizens who wanted to stop this and bring law and order to the town. They formed the “Committee of 101”. Smith promptly formed his own “Committee of 303” designed to stop them. On July 18, 1898, there was a vigilante meeting on the wharf, opposed to Soap Smith. He tried to crash the meeting but was confronted by Frank Reid, who shot him dead. Unfortunately, Reid was also fatally wounded during the encounter.

Here is an article from History.com telling this story.

Soapy Smith killed in Skagway, Alaska (history.com)

If you get a chance to visit the Gold Rush Cemetery in Skagway, Alaska, you can see both graves. Frank Reid has a rather large monument, while Jefferson Randolph “Soap” Smith has a rather ordinary gravestone marker.

This is a reminder that even when evil seems to be in total control, there are always some people who see the truth and who are not deterred from acting. Soap Smith ran Skagway for far too long and he hurt a lot of people, but eventually the good people in Skagway united and took him on. There is always a price to be paid when confronting evil, but ultimately truth always prevails.

Today it is increasingly obvious that this country is run by people who consider themselves above the law. If any of the recent reports about Hunter Biden and his financial entanglements with foreign countries made possible by Joe Biden are true, then this is corruption that honest people cannot possibly ignore and tolerate. So far, the Biden’s have benefited from a DOJ and FBI more interested in destroying Donald Trump and anyone who supports him than they are in focusing on truth, justice and the rule of law. They have benefited from a MSM that refused to even investigate allegations against a sitting U.S. President that literally border on treason. The entire Democratic Party has participated in the cover-up in their own lust for power.

There are people openly challenging this, for the first time in a very long time. Predictably, those who are active participants in this systemic corruption are fighting back with everything available. This is one of the reason Donald Trump is subjected to some new legal lawsuit on a nearly daily basis. They fear him because they fear he will destroy them. They are determined to destroy him first. They may even succeed in doing that, because Trump is often his own worst enemy, but ultimately, they cannot win. They cannot win for one very simple reason. No matter how loud and obnoxious the evil element becomes and no matter how powerful they appear to be, they never represent anything close to a majority of the people. The only way they can possibly stay in power is to form a brutal dictatorship. They may dream of doing that here, in the United States, but they are doomed to fail.

More and more people are starting to recognize the truth. While the leaders of the DOJ and the FBI are still resisting, whistleblowers within both agencies are coming forth. There are finally people in congress ready, willing and able to take this on. Even the MSM is starting to notice, with CBS particularly asking some very pointed questions. The end is near. Truth will prevail, sooner rather than later. There will, as always, be casualties on both sides, but the result will be the restoration of truth and justice and a hard lesson learned.

The Democratic Party is now facing the ultimate “No Good choices” (NGC) problem. NGC means “No Good Choices.” Just think about this. Consider, for a moment, that you are a life-long Democrat. You have hated Republicans for your entire life. Democrats have always been the good guys, fighting for the little guy, against the man.  But now you look around and the Democratic Party has left you with no good choices. I mean if Joe Biden is the best you have, you have less than nothing.

Many naïve people in the MSM thought that Gavin Newsom would be a great candidate for President in 2024. He is governor of the biggest state, in terms of population. They foolishly thought he was very popular in California and that would translate to a great national candidate. But Gavin Newsom is a clown who consistently makes bad decisions, he is a horrible public speaker, and he does things that are beyond stupid. For example, he visited Florida to try and show us how a great governor looks and sounds compared to DeSantis. The few people in Florida who even noticed just laughed him out of state.

He has managed to take a record surplus and turned it into a gigantic deficit. Since California requires at least the illusion of a balanced budget, he has a real problem. But recently, he did something so incredibly stupid that I had to double check to see if it wasn’t a Babylon Bee satire. Target stupidly started promoting wonderful stuff like transgender, tuck under, swimsuits. The results were instant and loud and even Target realized this was a Bud Light moment, panicked and backed off. Newsome trashed Target for giving in to those opposed to the woke movement. Seriously! Now there are reports Newsom is considering nominating Oprah to replace Diane Feinstein, assuming Diane wakes up coherent enough to resign. What planet is he living on, assuming that California has now drifted far left of this one.

But if not Newsom, who? Can you name one prominent Democrat, any state, any office, that would be a better choice than Biden?  Anyone? Anywhere? This is so bad that Joe Manchin, who is hated almost equally by Republicans and Democrats appears to be toying with the idea of running for President. Earth to Joe, being unable to get re-elected in West Virginia is not exactly an endorsement to run for President.

If Democrats don’t wake up and start reversing some of the insane decisions and policies by Biden, they could suffer the ultimate humiliating defeat in 2024. If they weren’t running against a Republican Party run by people famous for losing elections they should have won easily, this would be guaranteed.

Most Democrats don’t want Biden to even run for another term. The only hope Democrats have is for Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee and their strategy of endless legal assaults from places like New York and Washington, D.C. will make him unelectable. They are too stupid to realize that if they just ignored him, he would almost certainly talk himself out of the nomination. By attacking him relentlessly, they are just elevating him. They should know better. In 2016 the MSM desperately wanted Donald Trump to win the Republican nomination because they were certain that even Hillary Clinton would easily beat him. They totally underestimated Hillary Clinton’s life-long record of zero accomplishments other than the ability to get loud praises from the MSM.

Trump would be a far better choice that Biden, primarily because it would be hard to find anyone who would not be a far better choice than Biden. He would be fun to watch, because this would be another four years of high theater.

I can’t possibly predict this because one can never safely predict rational results from people with an established record for not thinking rationally. I do think that if Biden is nominated by the Democrats and Trump is nominated by the Republicans, that Democrats won’t be able to steal enough votes to get Biden re-elected. However, they are guaranteed to try.

But at some point, everyone is going to get sick and tired of NGC. Then, and only then, will things really change.

The FBI hearings and the Ray Durham report are far more explosive than anyone would realize if they only watch ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or, gasp, MSNBC. All these MSM networks are pretending this is all just a nothing burger. This is remarkable from the same class of clowns who swallowed the Trump Russia Collision nonsense hook, like and sinker. But then these are the same people who have been predicting the walls closing in on Trump, for years, with breathless anticipation.

Trump is going to have a lot of legal challenges, almost always from places like New York and Washington, D.C. Both places exist in a Democratic bubble that does not allow the ability to even see the rest of the world. They foolishly believe that everything that matters happens within their bubble and are too busy patting themselves on the back after repeating utter nonsense to realize that no one outside of the bubble is impressed.

But the facts are becoming more obvious, and the facts are impossible to ignore. The entire Russian Collusion hoax was invented by Hillary Clinton and embraced by the leaders in the Intelligence Community, the DOJ, the FBI, and most of the MSM. They were all wrong. They were embarrassingly wrong. What more, this embarrassment is now on full display and no matter how much the MSM ignores this, the facts are out, they are indisputable, and they are indisputably bad.

Now throw in those FBI agents outing their highly partisan and frankly stupid leaders. The real message here is not that the leaders in the DOJ and the FBI are hopelessly partisan and corrupt, but also that they are also incredibly stupid and incompetent. The only defense for the indefensible is the stale argument that one must listen to those in authority, even if they are dishonest, corrupt, and hopelessly naïve. True change in any society does not come by bowing down to authority, it required the removal and placement of inept leadership with people who at least pretend to listen.

All these people have the same problem. There actually is truth and there are facts and evidence. Eventually, truth always outs, for the same reason. No strategy based on incorrect assumptions can succeed. Unfortunately, catastrophic failure is often required before seeing real change. It took the tragedy of a civil war to force the nation to finally deal with slavery. It took Pearl Harbor to convince the American people of the necessity to go to war with Germany and Japan.

One thing is certain, the people in power, responsible for this mess will be the last to realize they are at the center of the problem. It is always that way. Incompetent people are often only skilled at shielding themselves from the reality of their incompetence. They blame everything on something or someone else. It is one of the reasons they are incapable of change.

Now add in the public release of hard evidence that the DOJ and the FBI have weaponized our criminal justice system and it is a perfect storm. A storm that cannot be safely ignored. Just think about this. That former Marine being prosecuted by a District Attorney who routines refuses to prosecute criminals, has raised over $2 million for his defense fund. The man who was killed, a homeless man with a long history of aggression, has raised about $150,000, for his funeral. Ignore the significance of that to your peril.

This is why these issues add up to the ultimate double exposure. This not only exposes these people for their partisanship and corruption, but it also exposes their incompetence. If you are always obviously wrong, at some point almost everyone else with figure that out. No matter how effective the daily spin spewed by the Biden Administration, his fawning supporters in the MSM and the entire Democratic Party leadership, the problems with rising crime, the influx of illegal immigrants and crumbling economy have resulted in a stench that overpowers the wimpy perfume of political correctness.

Something is happening here. There are subtle signs that things are about to change. Everyone already knew the border crisis is about to explode. We all know about the debt ceiling crisis, runaway inflation, and tough economic times. Joe Biden’s approval ratings are in the tank. His mental decline is becoming even more obvious. Yet there is no prominent Democrat on the horizon to replace him. Joe Manchin is hinting at a run, but he is in deep trouble in his home state of West Virginia, and one questions whether the left wing of the Democratic Party would tolerate him.

But two things, possibly related, have the potential to cause this situation to become white hot. One is the Durham Report, which the MSM is trying and failing to ignore. The problem is that Durham documented his facts, and they are a scathing rebuke of the DOJ, the FBI, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the senior members of our intelligence community.

Durham proved that not only did the FBI never have enough information to justify investigating Trump regarding the Russian Collision myth, but that this was set up by Hillary Clinton, that this was briefed to Joe Biden and Barack Obama, and the senior members of the intelligence community just saluted and joined in the purely partisan witch hunt.

That is a stunning rebuke that cannot and will not be safely overlooked. Now add in the IRS apparently closing in on Hunter Biden, having a Whistleblower expose the IRS for dragging its feet on this with the result that the Whistleblower and his entire team was fired by the DOJ. You can’t make something like this up.

It instantly reminded me of when Richard Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richard to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox. Richardson refused and immediately resigned. Then Nixon appointed Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus only to him also refuse and resign. Then Nixon appointed Solicitor General Robert Bork, who did the deed. Nixon never recovered and impeachment proceedings began ten days later.

We sometimes become so focused on the names we know and naively assume that there are no honorable people left. There are numerous reports of Whistleblowers who started to emerge as soon as Republicans took over the House. We are highly likely to learn about other honorable men and women who have watched this nonsense, who were appalled, but who were not in a position to do anything about it. That has suddenly changed. We are all aware of how the “me too” movement that resulted in a surge of suppressed sexual harassment claims. Some of these claims were legitimate and immensely powerful men were taken down. Others were potential frauds by people who wanted to jump on the “me too” band wagon.

Some of the allegations regarding Biden, Obama and Hillary will probably be suspicious, but the Durham report already documented facts and evidence that are impossible to ignore. The indisputable facts are already bad enough. Fox News is all over this, partly because they are desperate to stop the bleeding after firing Tucker Carlson. But at least some smart and ambition reporters on other networks, will likely see the opportunity and seize the day. That is as inevitable as rain. The minute that starts will be the beginning of the end of the Biden Presidency along with a serious shakeup at the DOJ, FBI and our intelligence agencies who have all been outed as unreliable partisan hacks.

This reminds me of the saying, “just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that people aren’t out to get you.” Yes, Donald Trump was ranting about how the deep state, the MSM pretended didn’t exist, was rigged against him. Turned out he nailed it. It may take a while for people like Anderson Cooper to figure this out, but other wiser and far more deadly people are already on it.

It is now just a matter of time; the clock is ticking, and it is about to get louder and louder until it simply cannot be safely ignored.
