WILL AMERICA HAVE TO CANCEL THE DEMOCRAT PARTY TO RESTORE DEMOCRACY, OR DID WE EVER REALLY HAVE IT?

 SO, WHO SHOULD REALLY BE IN PRISON?


2020 Election fraud

  • More votes cast and counted than there were registered voters in the district.  No possibility of fraud there.
  • Ballot-stuffing in drop boxes caught on camera during the wee hours of the night.  No possibility of fraud there.
  • Late ballots coming in in a statistically impossible 90+% manner for one candidate.  No possibility of fraud there.
  • Republican poll observers being kicked out and then an overwhelmingly high proportion of votes suddenly materializing for the Democrat candidate.  No possibility of fraud there.
  • Mail-in voting procedures being widely implemented because of "COVID concerns," but there were no verifiable chain-of-custody procedures in place and no mechanism to confirm voter signature authenticity.  No possibility of fraud there.
  • Voting machines proven to be connected to the internet, despite vehement protests to the contrary.  No possibility of fraud there.


So Biden won’t make Trump’s legal troubles an issue in 2024 campaign?

Cedric Richmond, the co-chair of President Biden’s reelection campaign recently said that Biden is not looking to make former President Donald Trump’s legal troubles central to his 2024 message.

In an interview with ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz, Richmond stated: "The president has said from the beginning that he wanted an independent Justice Department ... so we're not going to comment. We're not going to focus on Donald Trump's legal problems. We will let the justice system take care of what the justice system should take care of.”

An “independent Justice Department?”

Biden’s “Justice Department” is as independent from his administration as the Waffen-SS was from Hitler’s Nazi Party.

On the evening of August 24th, as former President Trump's motorcade was arriving at the Fulton County, Georgia, jail for his surrender on trumped-up charges related to his alleged attempt to overturn his alleged 2020 election loss in that state, Biden (or more likely his handlers) put out this online and social media appeal for monetary donations: "Apropos of nothing, I think today's a great day to give to my campaign.”

That appeal -- snarky, vile, mocking, and vaguely threatening—is apropos of everything pertaining to the Biden administration.

Of course the Biden administration isn’t “going to focus on Donald Trump’s legal problems.” It created them. Of course Biden will leave it to his Department of Injustice (DOI?) to take care of what he and his administration want to “take care of.”

Biden is not looking to make former President Donald Trump’s legal troubles central to his 2024 message because his message has already been sent: he wants Trump indicted and in jail.

To Biden, it’s simple: no Trump, no issue…and no further message required.

ALL GAMER LAWYERS: THEIR DAMAGE TO THE COUNTRY IS STAGGERING AS THEY FILLED THEIR POCKETS WITH BRIBES!

Biden, Hillary, Obama, et al. are totalitarians/authoritarians that operate as organized criminals raking in millions of dollars very much like the mafia dons and mafia families of the 1920s-1970s.

Using the Dictator's -- and the Mafia's -- Playbook

During President Trump’s presidency, the Dems, leftists, and other anti-Americans screamed that he was going to “destroy Democracy.” Daily we heard warnings about authoritarianism (imposed by Trump), voter suppression (executed by Trump), how he was going to throw Hillary in jail and investigate Biden (his rival).  It turns out that Joe Biden and his Dems are everything, and more, of the authoritarians, vote suppressors, and witch-hunters they accused Trump (and his followers) of being.  Then again, projection has long been a character trait of totalitarians -- accuse others of what you’re doing or planning on doing.  Donald Trump was indicted and arrested last week in Fulton County, accused of trying to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.  He’s now been arrested four times by the same people (Dems) who warned and scolded us that Trump was going to throw people in jail and investigate his political rivals.  All the arrests would be laughable if they weren’t intended to target political opponents (they are), to suppress conservatives (they are), to investigate rivals (they are), and a danger to our republic (they are). 

I could list numerous recent examples of Democrats who committed election manipulation (Most recently, across the country in 2020, hundreds of election procedures were changed by unelected bureaucrats because of COVID -- almost all were done unconstitutionally); of how the Dems have weaponized the justice system and law enforcement against their opponents (For example, Hillary and Biden had classified documents, nothing happened to them. But Trump was arrested for legally possessing classified documents.); and of Dems who seized unauthorized power to implement draconian edicts on the populace (Think of the hundreds of authoritarian lockdowns during COVID).  I could give hundreds of examples of Dems being hypocrites by doing exactly what they accuse others of doing or doing what they’ve made illegal.  However, none of that matters.  The Dems and their media do not care about any of that.  They don’t care that they’re hypocrites and they don’t care if anyone discovers their hypocrisy.  Why should they?  They control all the power institutions in the country and are wielding that control to maintain power.

There are two ways to best understand the current Democrat Party.  The first way is to think of any dictatorship in the last 100 years (Cuba, Soviet Union, North Korea, China, Russia, and most Islamic countries are examples).  The second way is to view the Dems as the organized criminal enterprise they have become.  Biden, Hillary, Obama, et al. are totalitarians/authoritarians that operate as organized criminals raking in millions of dollars very much like the mafia dons and mafia families of the 1920s-1970s.

First, think of the above listed dictators and how they operate.  The mission of an authoritarian regime is to remain in power.  To do so, they must control the institutions of power.  In no particular order, because each is equally important, you must control the media and press, the legal system, law enforcement, the universities, and the bureaucracy.  With control of those institutions, you rule any country.  Now consider how the Dems and their institutions have operated the past six to eight years -- constant negative media coverage of Republicans while only positive coverage of Biden and Dems; endless investigations of political rivals; arrest of political opponents; a Department of Justice that trumps up crimes against Republicans yet refuses to investigate the admitted bribery and influence peddling of Biden -- remember how Biden bragged that he got the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter fired. It’s almost comical how Dems claim that millions of dollars transferred to Biden is not evidence of any wrongdoing.  Really?  We’re told to believe (by the controlled media) that countries and companies just transfer millions to politicians for no reason. 

The most egregious example of the Dem’s control of institutions is the Hunter Biden laptop affair.  Hunter’s laptop has been in FBI custody since November 2019.  It contains tens of thousands of emails, videos, bank records, documents, etc. that prove Joe Biden and the Dems took bribes and acted as foreign agents working against the United States.  Immediately after the NY Post published an article (October 2020) about Hunter’s laptop, 51 intelligence experts claimed it was Russian disinformation.  Those 51 experts lied, as did Big Tech, Big Media, and every Democrat.  Hunter’s laptop is real, and was authenticated by the FBI in 2019.  The laptop proves Joe’s bribery guilt.  Despite the FBI having the laptop, they refuse to investigate, the DoJ refuses to prosecute, and the media refuses to report -- absolute proof that the Dems control every power institution. 

Next, think of mafia books, TV shows, and movies you’ve read or seen from Al Capone to The Godfather, Goodfellas, or The Sopranos; and think of how organized crime gains and maintains power.  Organized crime syndicates bribe the police to prevent them from being investigated.  And if, by chance, any were arrested, the Mafia controlled the prosecutors and judges to ensure that the case was never brought to trial or thrown out if it was.  Also, they had the media in their pockets to keep public pressure off them. Knowing that they controlled the legal system, the Mafia did anything they wanted without fear of being arrested or prosecuted.

That is the exact playbook the Dems are following -- a two-tier justice system, one for Dems and another for everyone else.  Barack Obama corrupted the justice department when he appointed Attorney General Eric Holder (Remember when Holder claimed he was Obama’s wingman?).  Holder lied to Congress and was held in contempt of Congress.  Now Biden’s Department of Justice is totally beholden to the Dems.  Exactly like a police department that never investigated their Mafia families, the DoJ refuses to investigate anything to do with the tens of millions of bribery dollars that Joe, Hunter, and other Biden family members received.  Even when caught on film and tape admitting corruption, the FBI and DoJ refuse to investigate anything Biden.

So, to understand our authoritarian Democrats, simply look at authoritarian regimes and organized crime for the blueprint to their current operations.  It’s not complicated.


D.C. swamp judge sentences January 7 defendant to 17 years, pioneering new era of cruel and unusual punishment

Leftist judges, who are notoriously soft on violent crime, are surprisingly game to 'cruel and unusual punishment' when the defendant is a low-class right winger.

Which brings us to this judicial travesty from one of the D.C. ruling elites:

Proud Boy Joe Biggs on Thursday was sentenced to 17 years in prison, the second-highest sentence handed down to anyone convicted in connection with the Capitol attack. 

Biggs was convicted of sedition and other serious felonies earlier this year after being accused of leading members of the right-wing extremist group to the Capitol and talking with the first rioter to breach police barricades just minutes before he acted. 

The Florida Army veteran appeared in court Thursday wearing an orange prison-issued jumpsuit with a white undershirt and black thick-frame glasses, his white hair styled into a mohawk and beard outgrown. 

No one was killed, no property was significantly damaged, nothing was set on fire, nobody whipped out a gun, nobody got taken hostage, no mass casualties were strewn through the streets, but here we are.

Apparently this guy knocked over a fence on January 6 and communicated with his like-minded buddies about "real men" and that was enough to trigger the effete judge, who slapped terrorism enhancements onto the man's crime, putting it in the same league as what Khalid Sheikh Mohammed did to the Pentagon and World Trade Center on 9/11.

The judge's reasoning was this:

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ultimately applied a terrorism enhancement to Biggs’s sentencing guidelines, wherein a defendant must have committed an offense that “was calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct.”

Kelly cited Biggs’s efforts to tear down a fence separating rioters from the Capitol and bringing them “one step closer” to their objective of halting the 2020 election certification as reason for applying the enhancement . 

“I really don’t think this is a close call,” he said of the decision.  

Which is laughable. All the rioters, aided by a nest of still opaquely known FBI informants, did was manage to disrupt and delay the electoral certification of 2020. Was there any congressional Democrat at the Capitol that day who was so intimidated by the January 6 rioters that he planned to change his vote to Republican?

Of course not.

That vote was going to go through whether it was on January 6 or the next day. There was a minor delay, brought on by bad Capitol policing, a failure by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to permit the National Guard protection that was pro-offered by President Trump, and plenty of FBI provocateurs, in addition to pathetic Proud Boys rabble-rousers like Biggs. Whatever the disruption was it was not an insurrection or coup attempt -- we are watching real insurrections and coups these days in places like Niger and Gabon -- with guns, blood, dead bodies, flights out, and flung suitcases of stolen cash. Those are the real thing.

This wasn't even terrorism -- and comfortable as the judge was about locking up and throwing away the key on this low-class Trump supporter, the New York Times indicated that Kelly actually seemed to know that he was off base, but it didn't matter to him:

 While Judge Kelly said the provision was technically applicable, he was less certain — given what Mr. Biggs had actually done — that it fit in a more colloquial sense.

He noted that he had reviewed several cases involving terrorism, most concerning situations where defendants “were training to fight American troops or planning an act like blowing up a large building.” And he expressed skepticism that the Proud Boys had engaged in that kind of behavior on Jan. 6.

Say what?

That the defendant, unlike the 9/11 mastermind, or for that matter, the assorted antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters and vandals who've gotten off with low or no charges, was contrite also counted for nothing with the D.C. judge.

“I know I messed up that day, but I’m not a terrorist,” [defendant Biggs] said through tears. 

You don't see that in real terrorists, whether domestic Black Panther types, or crazed Islamist fanatics. Imagine one of them ever saying something like that.

It doesn't look like or quack like a duck...

Nor did the fact that Biggs served the U.S. in a combat capacity, obtaining two purple hearts, mean anything to the zero-service-history judge.

But no matter. Biggs got 17 years and his co-defendant, Zachary Rehl, got 15 years, and the big Proud Boy ranking above both of them, Enrique Tarrio, can pretty well predict what he's going to get from Kelly when he gets sentenced next month. He wasn't in town on that day because he was complying with another court order but that won't count for anything with the judge. He'll get the max and since he has a Latino name, he can count on a slyly applied darked-skinned enhancement to his sentence such as leftists always give to any minority claiming fealty to President Trump. 

It's all a textbook definition of a draconian punishment, which draws its definition from the classical era when the Emperor Draco imposed the same death penalty on petty thieves as he did on full blown murderers. It was so loathesome to the ancient Greeks it lasted less than 30 years. The human sense of fairness throughout the ages has always required that a punishment fit a crime. 

But not to Kelly.

The sentence may have made the judge feel better, but the problem with draconian sentences are that they reduce public respect for the law, which he obviously doesn't possess much of, either. It's little different from blue-city governments which impose massive taxes on legal marijuana businesses to fill city coffers and then wonder why the black market has taken over the pot market same as if they had never legalized drugs.

Kelly made this ridiculous claim at the sentencing:

“What happened on Jan. 6 harmed an important American custom,” Judge Kelly said. “That day broke our tradition of peacefully transferring power, which is among the most precious things we had as Americans. Notice I said ‘had’ — we don’t have it anymore.”

Custom? Tradition? That's the same as "law"?

Not to normal people.

What we have really lost in this judicial travesty is fair and equal justice, which he's done his part to destroy.

The draconian sentence violates the whole Constitutional prohibition on cruel and unual punishment as well as equal treatment under the law. The problematic aspects are cited by this publication from the Federal Bar Association:

Equal treatment under the law and prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishments are two time-tested legal principles that retain their importance down to modern times. Nowhere are those precepts more important than in the enactment, the promulgation, and the administration of criminal law. Moreover, the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial also have been, and remain, of paramount importance.

After all, in that second category, we've seen crap like this:

 

 

But rest assured: In Kelly's ace judicial reasoning, Biggs is the bad guy, the bigger danger to the republic, not these mere would-be assassins of actual congressmembers. Tell that to the people of Ecuador.

I truly hope this sentence will be thrown out on appeal and be replaced with something more proportionate to the crime. I especially want to see this judge's bad legal reasoning rebuked as incompetent. If it's not, then this is going to be standard and precedent -- unequal justice in sentencing, and one set of rules for conservative miscreants and another set for leftists. Wishing that is a tall order in these days, but it does highlight Mark Levin's call to clean out the Washington judiciary. The lunatic sentencing in this case is Exhibit A.

THE COURT NOTHING MORE THAN A FORM OF NEO-FASCISM.

Trump: Victim of a Radically Transformed Federal Judiciary

The judicial persecution of Donald Trump has exposed the blatant political bias that animates many Federal District Court judges. Packing the Federal Judiciary at all levels with left-wing judges is the cornerstone of the Marxist Democrat Party strategy to permanently transform America.  If they win the presidency in 2024, they will have succeeded in packing the Federal Judiciary by the end of the term on January 20, 2029.  

This process began in earnest with Barack Obama. He came into office determined to fill the judiciary with left-wing judges, and he succeeded, as virtually every one of his appointments has revealed their bias and leftist ideology while serving on the various courts. Joe Biden has followed in Obama’s footsteps by nominating equally if not more ideologically bound left-wing judges.

The following federal judges are not animated by upholding the law or the Constitution but instead are motivated by political considerations and their allegiance to statist ideology.

District Judge Beryl Howell (Obama appointee) coordinated with the Department of Justice to deny Trump his constitutional rights and indict him on specious criminal charges pertaining to document retention and January 6th, 2021. She deliberately, knowingly and egregiously violated his due process rights.

District Judge Tanya Chutkin, (Obama appointee) who is overseeing the trial of Donald Trump in Washington D.C., has unapologetically made numerous incendiary comments about Trump nor has she hidden her bias and willingness to work with the Justice Department in delaying trials and sentencing January 6th protesters to extraordinary long and unjustified jail terms. She is now, at the behest of the Biden Justice Department, accelerating the trial date for Trump in order to torpedo his candidacy and ability to win the general election.

District Judge Beth Lapson Freeman (Obama appointee) claimed that an ordinance passed by the San Jose, California city council mandating all gun owners in the city be required to purchase liability insurance did not violate the 2nd Amendment, thus placing an impediment to gun ownership in clear violation of the language of the 2nd Amendment which states: “…the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

District Judge Jon Tigar (Obama appointee) ruled that U.S. immigration authorities cannot deny asylum to migrants regardless of how they arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border nor can they be forced to wait in Mexico, thereby eviscerating any viable immigration enforcement at the Southern border.

District Court Judge Deborah Boardman, (Biden appointee) recently ruled that parents do not have the right to opt their children out of mandatory LGBTQ+ lessons or classes in public schools in a gross violation of their First Amendment rights.

There are 667 District Court judges throughout the United States. Obama and Biden (to date) have appointed 371 with 63 vacancies that Biden will, with a Democrat-controlled Senate, fill before the end of his term. Thus, between Obama and Biden they will have appointed 434 judges or nearly two thirds of all District Court seats.

The only check on the District Court judges are the Circuit Courts of Appeal and ultimately the Supreme Court. However, the appeals process is lengthy and oftentimes drawn out. For example, if Trump were to be found guilty of any of the innumerable charges against him, he would almost certainly win an appeal, but by the time the appeal is heard or ruled on the 2024 election would be far in the rear-view mirror.

Currently among Circuit Court of Appeals judges nearly half have been appointed by Republicans as have six of the nine Supreme Court justices. Which is why the Circuit Courts, and the Supreme Court are currently the last bastion of constitutional governance and liberty as well as the primary target of the American Marxists.

Based on historical averages, if Biden or any Democrat wins the 2024 election he or she will appoint upwards of 170 District Court judges and nearly 35+ Circuit Court of Appeals judges by 2028. Resulting in as many as 595 District Court judges, or 89% of the bench, and 126 Circuit Court of Appeals judges, or 70% of the bench, being appointed by a Marxist-controlled White House since 2008 -- thus transforming the entire Federal Judiciary into a de facto enforcement arm of the Democrat Party.

Additionally, the two oldest and most conservative Supreme Court justices, Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, will be 80 and 78 years old respectively by 2028, thus opening up the distinct possibility of the Democrats appointing their replacements, thus swinging the Court to the radical Left and abetting the implementation of the American Marxist political and societal agenda.

The prospect of a grossly compromised judicial system is the death knell for this or any civilized nation, as injustice will be directed at virtually anyone who oppose the policies of a one-party socialist state or who dares to contest any manipulated election the party in power wins. When there is no fair and equitable justice system, the inescapable outcome is violence and national disintegration.

This nation is perilously close to that inevitability. If the judiciary is captive to the Marxists, there is no turning back.


Bottom line: Lawyers are the worst. If you like them and think they should have more money, vote for Democrats.

The Evil of the Democrat Party

Masking the true carnage to protect leftist fairy tales.

The city of Chicago might as well not exist to Democrats on the national stage. Yes, that party has ruled the city with an iron fist since 1931, and the dead there has a remarkable turnout rate for elections, but in Washington, DC, the city doesn’t exist. Joe Biden and the swamp gang don’t mention it because they’d have to acknowledge the piles of dead bodies the city racks up annually. While they’ll show up occasionally in the region for a photo-op, they won’t talk about the murders, the drugs, or the terror citizens there feel on a daily basis. It is, for lack of a more perfect word, evil.

Republicans have zero say over what happens in Chicago; everything terrible there is directly a result of liberal policies. All the blood spilled drips off the hands of Democrats. They know it; they don’t care.

Why would they? What consequences have Democrats faced for their failure? In the last 92 years, there hasn’t been a blip on the radar of a threat to Democrats winning elections there, so why would anyone give a damn? The city had a chance to pull up, just a little, from its nosedive when they tossed out the incompetent Lori Lightfoot in the mayoral primary last year. But rather than go with a more sane option, they voted for someone even worse. The new Mayor gets more upset when someone refers to murderous goons as a mob than he does any of the murders in the city.

Why is anyone supposed to care if the people who live there don’t? If you continually vote for people who beat the hell out of you, why would people care that you’re regularly getting the hell beat out of you?

Still, it’s an embarrassment to Democrats to see what Chicago has become. The same goes for Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and every other city controlled by Democrats for generations. Not all the crime, not all the death, the pointing out of the crime and the death by Republicans. That’s what Democrats are concerned with – the extent to which the white, suburban chardonnay-swilling soccer mom who votes blindly for Democrats become aware of the indifference with which the progressive power structure views human life and how those dots are connected in their heads between the violence and their “safe” lives. If those voters realize they aren’t more than a few election cycles away from their quiet slice of life being overrun by the same mentality, they might not slavishly vote and donate to Democrats.

These Democrats in power only care about anything to the extent that it can harm their electoral prospects. In these killing fields called cities, those electoral prospects are unburdened by responsibility – Democrats will continue to mine the votes of people who’d elected the morons they’ve elected to mayor’s offices in perpetuity. It’s the suburbs they’re afraid of losing.

It tells you something that the left doesn’t care about all the murders. From “Black Lives Matter” to “Shut up about all the black people getting murdered by black people,” people don’t look to politicians for intellectual consistency. It’s one thing when the neighborhood liquor store or downtown shoe shop gets looted by a group of “teens,” it’s something else entirely when it hits their suburban salon or boutique of choice.

The thought of that keeps Democrats up at night. The thought of that makes Democrats believers in walls, at least metaphorical ones enforced by culture and police. If that wall is breached… lookout.

In the meantime, Democrats have to do something, usually, the bare minimum, to pretend to care about the carnage they really only seek to contain. Which brings us back to Chicago.

In their latest attempt to put a Band-Aid on a bullet wound, the Democrats in the city are calling for a ceasefire…between the hours of 9 am and 9 pm. This, presumably, means it’s game on from dusk till dawn. It’s like holding “The Purge” every night, just as long a suburban Karen can make it home safely from her early dinner downtown. The people who live there…screw them.

It truly is evil. But to not practice evil, you have to view the people being harmed as, well, people. Then you’d have to care about them on top of it. Since the days of slavery, Democrats haven’t viewed black people as people. That’s an “I’m better than you” attitude, not one based on skin color, so the black leadership in the city carries it with them as well.

As long as the violence can be maintained as a “made for TV event,” specifically made for Fox News, nothing will change because there’s no threat to Democrats. Scores of people will continue to die, children will continue to have their future set on fire by a failed education system, and Karen will still get her suburban mani-pedi with her morally superior future cirrhosis circle of friends while watching Bravo, utterly oblivious to the destruction in the wake of her voting habits. And Democrats will laugh all the way to the end.

They’re going to be in for a rude awakening when they get to Hell.

The Biggest Missed Story of the 21st Century

Here it is: the biggest missed story of this century is the incredible dumbing down of the American public, to the point where a cripplingly large portion of the adult population is no longer willing or able to exercise independent critical thinking in order to take decisive action on a wide range of issues that shape the direction of our economy, culture, and personal freedoms.  Indeed, too lazy and unmotivated to analyze readily available, credible data, far too many people have ceded their personal independence to government dictates — dictates clearly designed to increase government control over the population, rather than having been put in place for the genuine good of the people.

Let's look at some examples:

Masks

When COVID first hit, we were told to "mask up."  The COVID particle was smaller than the weave opening in non-professional masks, yet people went dutifully along anyway, unwilling to look at things logically.  Then we were told to double-mask.  Then it was the plastic face shield over a mask.  Nothing sums up the dumbing down of America better than the image of a person driving alone in his car, all masked up.

Vaccines

The COVID vaccines were — and remain — experimental.  First we were told that if you take the vax, you can't get COVID.  That was wrong.  Then we were told that if you take the vax and a booster, you can't get or transmit COVID.  That was wrong.  Then we were told that if you get double-boosted, you'll be protected from all future variants.  That was wrong.  Then we were assured that the inexplicably high number of adverse reactions to the vaccine was totally coincidental, despite earlier vaccines having been pulled from the market for having only a fraction of the adverse reactions of the COVID vaccines.  Yet when people were told "no entry unless vaccinated," they went along.

2020 Election fraud

  • More votes cast and counted than there were registered voters in the district.  No possibility of fraud there.
  • Ballot-stuffing in drop boxes caught on camera during the wee hours of the night.  No possibility of fraud there.
  • Late ballots coming in in a statistically impossible 90+% manner for one candidate.  No possibility of fraud there.
  • Republican poll observers being kicked out and then an overwhelmingly high proportion of votes suddenly materializing for the Democrat candidate.  No possibility of fraud there.
  • Mail-in voting procedures being widely implemented because of "COVID concerns," but there were no verifiable chain-of-custody procedures in place and no mechanism to confirm voter signature authenticity.  No possibility of fraud there.
  • Voting machines proven to be connected to the internet, despite vehement protests to the contrary.  No possibility of fraud there.

How can any reasonably intelligent person not question these things?  You may still believe that the 2020 election results were valid, but simply raising logical questions does not make someone a criminal.

Those humorous "man in the street" interviews are fun, and granted, only the most outlandish ones make the cut onto the TV segment.  Still, answers like "1924" when asked, "What year did the Civil War begin?"  and "Hmmm...Spain?" when asked, "Whom did we win our independence from?" are emblematic of the widespread, deep-rooted "couldn't care less" attitude about knowing about the United States that's evidenced by so many adults today, especially Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z.

This wasn't always true.  In WWII, whether from Massachusetts or Kansas, Catholic, Protestant or Jewish, Red Sox fan or Cardinals fan, American G.I.s were fiercely loyal to one another and their country.  It mattered.

In the 1950s, the vast majority of ordinary Americans knew all about the "arms race" with the Soviets and knew exactly where the public fallout shelters were in case of attack.

The Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 was followed by everyone, eyes and ears glued to the television for hours on end.  We as a country pulled for JFK to find a way out.  We didn't say it was the Democrats' or Republicans' fault.  The country stood as one, calm, concerned, and informed.

In 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar landing was hailed as a unified American triumph, without any thought of conservatives vs. liberals.

In 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, the majority of American adults completely understood the significance, having lived with the Wall as a defining element of foreign relations for most of their adult lives.

But in recent decades, especially after 9/11/2001, the Democrats have made a conscious, concerted effort to divide the country along political and demographic lines for the express purpose of seizing ever-greater power over the electorate.  In addition to convincing various groups that they are suddenly victims as a result of Republican policies, Democrats have willingly attempted to make sure that as wide a swath as possible of their potential voting base remains uninformed.  Hence the phenomenal, almost criminal, misinformation and outright lies fed to the public about things such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.  These COVID treatments could've stopped the pandemic in its tracks had they been widely disseminated early on.

Instead, we got highly regarded doctors being banned from Facebook, hospitals succumbing to liberal government pressure and refusing to prescribe these treatments and liberal cable news commentators referring derisively to ivermectin as a "horse de-wormer" — all in service to one overriding fact:

great portions of the American public will not seek out the truth if it's the slightest bit inconvenient.  These same people are only too willing to accept liberal government lies and being told what to do.  A frighteningly high percentage of potential Democrat voters are far more interested in their own personal comfort and convenience and far less interested in doing any kind of hard mental analysis of complicated issues.

The Democrats know this.  They know that if they tell their voting base to keep their mask on while in line at Starbucks, they will.  They have no interest in weave opening versus particle size.  They just want their Grande Iced Caramel Macchiato, and don't bother me with anything else.

There's a funny Facebook meme that's been making the rounds.  It goes something like, "Not saying the current generation is dumb, but your grandfather's car owner's manual had a section in it describing how to adjust the valves.  Today's cars owner's manuals tell you not to drink the battery fluid."

The high proportion of self-absorbed, convenience-obsessed, unintellectually curious adults in America is the biggest story of the 21st century.  This is what is driving the direction of the country and shaping our culture.

How Democrats Get Filthy Rich

Plaintiffs in Google settlement get $95 each, lawyers pocket $35 million

What happened: A bunch of Democratic lawyers are getting rich after settling a class action lawsuit against Google.

•  The plaintiffs in the case, Illinois residents who can prove Google violated their privacy rights between 2015 and 2022, will receive about $95 each.

• Their lawyers will receive $35 million in fees.

Why it matters: The lawyers who worked on the Google case are Democratic donors, obviously. Lawyers love Democrats because Democrats favor policies that inevitably require the involvement of lots of highly compensated lawyers.

• Lawyers and law firms donated $254 million to Democrats during the 2020 election cycle, more than four times the amount they gave Republicans. That's a quarter of a billion dollars.

By the numbers: Collectively, the named attorneys have contributed thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates and committees over the years, and $500 to Mitt Romney in 2012, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.

• Tina Wolfson, Adhoot & Wolfson — donated more than $13,000 to Democratic candidates since 2016.

• Theodore Maya, Adhoot & Wolfson — donated to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

• Frank Hedin, Hedin Hall LLP — donated more than $11,000 to Democratic candidates and committees since 2020, including $2,800 to Joe Biden's presidential campaign.

• Scott Bursor, Bursor & Fischer — donated more than $12,000 to Democratic candidates since 2011.

• Katrina Carroll and Kyle Shamberg, Lynch Carpenter LLP — each gave $2,900 to Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) in August 2022, after his stroke.

Bottom line: Lawyers are the worst. If you like them and think they should have more money, vote for Democrats.
