Democrat Jasmine Crockett from Texas is “rooting” for Mexico and Canada in sports because Donald Trump is president, and she despises Donald Trump.
Actually, she hates Donald Trump because she hates America. So she can’t blame Donald Trump on her rooting for other teams.
The most interesting part of this story from Breitbart: She calls people who VOTED for Donald Trump a “domestic terrorist threat.” Does this mean that if her party gets back into power, everyone who voted for Trump in 2024 will be arrested?
Now you know why I say we’re in a civil war, and her Party actually has to be outlawed from holding office. There’s no room for the Democratic Party and the Bill of Rights in the same geographic space.

Trump has fired the rabidly woke Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the head of the military at the Pentagon.
Another wokester bites the dust. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I don’t care about his military career. He supported Black Lives Matter — a violent, racial supremacist, Marxist organization.

The American public is caught between the ongoing mass delusions of the Left and the “move fast and break things” actions of DOGE.
I’ve been watching in horror for the past ten years as the Left – aka, the people with all of the institutional power – lose their minds. I know they don’t see it that way. They think I’m the one who lost my mind. I was radicalized by the Right, they think. I had a nervous breakdown, they think. But the truth is that I haven’t changed. The only thing I did was refuse to go along with the madness.
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I went along with it at first. Even though history told me Trump couldn’t lose in 2016, I was still awash in misery and fear not just that year but every year of his presidency until the very last one when I realized everything I once believed was an illusion.
I was in a bubble, a feedback loop, built by social media, tribalism, collectivism, and a wildly dishonest legacy press. My mistake was trusting that they were telling me the truth. I was shocked to find in 2020 that they were not. They were gaslighting us, doing the bidding of the Democratic Party, just as they are doing now.
As an example of the level of hysteria we’re dealing with here, a review posted in Variety details how the Brazilian film, I’m Still Here is a “warning” for the United States. The headline, “It could happen here.”
I’m Still Here is about Rubens Paiva, who, according to Wikipedia, was a “Brazilian civil engineer and politician who, as a Congressman at the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, opposed the implementation of the military dictatorship in Brazil in 1964. Due to his involvement with activities deemed subversive by the dictatorial regime, he was arrested by the military forces and subsequently tortured and murdered. His remains were never found.”
That is a perfect description of how the Left sees the Trump administration, even though they lost in a free and fair election to Trump, an election they could have won if they hadn’t installed Joe Biden in 2020, then turned on him, pushed him out of power and installed Kamala Harris, forbidding any kind of democratic process to find a stronger leader.
Their loss is entirely their own fault. They had everything – money, media, celebrities, and power- and they still lost. Much of the reason why they lost is their disconnect from reality. They could not speak to the people, much less address their needs.
That disconnect from reality is imagination gone wrong. It’s too bad they can’t funnel it into telling better stories, making better movies, writing better books – but all of those have been captured by dogma and can only tell the same story over and over again. And that’s what they’re doing here. It must be true that Trump was an unstoppable, extraordinarily evil presence they could not eradicate by normal means and they are helpless against his power.
I hoped that with the second Trump win, the mass delusion would be punctured, but I was wrong. It’s much worse now than it’s ever been. The Woketopians locked away in their doomsday bunker read to me like David Koresh once the FBI announced they were outside.
It’s hard for me to watch people this afraid. To them, the mass deportations are military police and Hitler’s army. To them, purging schools of indoctrination is “book banning.” To them, scaling down government is fascism. I don’t know how to help them see reality. Or how to help them at all.
What is even more ironic in attempting to compare Trump to Brazil in the 1960s or any fascist dictator is that only one side has attempted to jail its political opponent. Only one side spied on and framed their political opponent. Only one side put protesters in solitary and called them terrorists.
Only one side will destroy your entire career over how you voted or a joke on X. Only one side demands conformity and that you obey their Newspeak or else. Only one side censored free speech via social media, violating the First Amendment. And they were just getting started.
Here’s a pro tip – how you know you’re not under the rule of a fascist dictator is that you can call them a fascist dictator in public, and nothing bad will happen to you. They had four years to prove to America that they were the better side, but they failed. Rather than confront that reality, they’ve found a way to pivot away from their faults. And of course, they’re all coming back to X, even Stephen King:
In case you missed it, that’s Stephen King standing up for a governor who has vowed to defy Trump’s Executive Order to keep biological men out of women’s sports. When I say there is no saving the Left, I mean there is no saving the Left. There is only saving America from them.
Musk has control of X. He could ban Stephen King and every single person who calls him a fascist and a Nazi, and much worse. He doesn’t. Not only that, but he allows the worst tweets about him to live on the app, some of them with over 100K likes as the so-called “resistance” cosplays that they’re under the thumb of a fascist dictator.
It’s their mass delusions that have always been a threat not just to this country but to themselves. At this rate, they’ll be out of power for a generation.
Unless, of course, MAGA moves too fast and breaks too many things.
Smart Politics, Dumb Politics
Doge is, I think, serving the American people well on one hand. Our government was too big. There was too much fat on the bone, too much fraud, and too many unaccounted-for billions. We were headed for bankruptcy, and our inflation is out of control. So why not go in with a chainsaw and mow it all down, like Javier Milei did in Argentina?
Musk is the richest man in the world. He will suffer no consequences for mistakes made. Trump and MAGA, however, will.
Of course, we know this is a rigged game. They’ll never give Trump or Musk any credit for anything they do. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post are all at war with the Trump administration going on ten years by now. They’ll attack attack attack until his poll numbers drop, and then they’ll feel emboldened to go in for the kill.
The latest mass hysteria episode comes after Musk announced he would send emails to workers ordering them to prove their work or be fired, as he did at Twitter when he bought it. Here is the email, which seems harmless enough:…..SNIP
Elon Musk, senior adviser to President Donald Trump and the driving force behind the Department of Government Efficiency, unveiled the “chainsaw for bureaucracy” at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., on Thursday and carried live by Newsmax.
After his interview with Newsmax host Rob Schmitt onstage, Argentine president Javier Milei presented Musk with the chainsaw.
“This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy,” Musk bellowed to the crowd.
Up to that point, Musk detailed for Schmitt, host of “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” how easy it is to cut waste in the federal government given the scale.
“People ask me, what’s the most surprising thing that you’ve encountered when you go to D.C.? And I said, well, the most surprising thing is the scale of the expenditures and actually how easy it is to, just when you add caring and competence, where it was absent before, you can actually save billions of dollars, sometimes in an hour. Like it’s wild,” Musk said.
He also said Trump is “supportive” of the idea of DOGE dividend checks, an idea that was floated by Azoria CEO and co-founder James Fishback on Wednesday. Musk told Fishback that he would “check with the president.”
“It’s money that’s taken away from things that are destructive to the country and from organizations that hate you to you. That’s awesome. That’s like glorious. That’s like the best, the spoils of battle,” Musk told Schmitt on Thursday.
“I talked to the president, he’s supportive of that. And so it sounds like you know that’s something we’re going to do. So as we’re finding savings, that’s going to translate directly to reductions in tax,” he added.
Musk took Democrats to task over their criticisms of cutting waste and fraud.
“[I]t just shows that they really lack empathy for the average taxpayer who’s working hard, paying taxes. And then they say, ‘Oh, $1 million doesn’t matter.’ And I’m like, I think it matters a lot to people, you know? What are you talking about?”
Kash Patel is poised for a Senate confirmation vote to become the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, marking a dramatic shift in the agency’s leadership and mission. Kash is not a career bureaucrat. He is a fighter, a truth-seeker, and a disruptor — qualities that set him apart from every FBI director in modern history.
For years, the FBI has faced mounting scrutiny over its politicization, weaponization, and failure to remain impartial. The American people have watched as the bureau targeted political dissidents, interfered in elections, and prioritized ideology over justice. If confirmed, Kash Patel would signal a long-overdue course correction and a return to true justice.
A Bold Statement from President Trump
Kash Patel was nominated by President Donald J. Trump, a decision that sends a powerful message. This is a declaration that the time for political games in law enforcement is over. Trump’s selection of Kash is a direct challenge to the entrenched bureaucracy that has used the FBI as a political weapon.
This nomination is a beacon of hope for those who believe in America’s founding principles. Under President Trump’s leadership, there will be no more two-tiered justice system, no more cover-ups for the political elite, and no more targeting of Americans based on ideology.
A Legacy Rooted in Resilience
Kash’s journey to this historic role is deeply personal. His parents, of Indian heritage, immigrated to the United States after fleeing persecution. His father was forced to leave Uganda during the brutal expulsion of South Asians under Idi Amin. Stripped of everything, he and his family arrived in America seeking freedom and opportunity — ideals Kash now vows to defend as FBI director.
Growing up with a deep appreciation for justice, Kash dedicated his career to ensuring the rule of law was upheld. His rise from a son of immigrants to leading the FBI is a testament to the American Dream — one he is committed to protecting from those who seek to undermine it.
Kash Patel follows a long line of controversial FBI directors:
James Comey (2013–2017): Turned the FBI into a political tool, leaked classified information, and manipulated investigations.
Robert Mueller (2001–2013): Expanded surveillance programs and failed to hold powerful figures accountable.
Christopher Wray (2017–2025): Oversaw corruption, from raiding political opponents to covering up scandals of the Washington elite.
Kash is not just another name on this list — he is a departure from the deep state’s status quo. He is committed to restoring the FBI’s original purpose: enforcing the law without political bias.
A Fighter for Justice
Kash has been on the frontlines of exposing corruption within the intelligence community, serving as Chief of Staff to the Acting Secretary of Defense, a senior investigator for the House Intelligence Committee, and a key figure in uncovering the Russia collusion hoax.
Under Kash’s leadership, expect an FBI that:
Holds corrupt officials accountable. No more two-tiered justice system.
Ends politically motivated investigations. The FBI will return to enforcing the law, not shaping political narratives.
Restores public trust. The days of using federal law enforcement as a political weapon are over.
Why the Left Fears and Slanders Kash Patel
Kash Patel’s appointment has sent shockwaves through the establishment. Unlike his predecessors, he is not a figure the Left can control. He does not owe his position to the Washington elite, nor does he abide by their unwritten rules. This makes him dangerous in their eyes — because he is willing to expose the corruption they have spent years covering up.
For years, Kash has been relentlessly smeared by the media and political operatives. They have labeled him a “conspiracy theorist,” “Trump loyalist,” and “right-wing extremist” — not because he has broken any laws, but because he dared to challenge the status quo.
His enemies fear his ability to pull back the curtain on the FBI’s weaponization, which is why they have worked overtime to discredit him. They do not fear Kash the man — they fear Kash’s mission to root out corruption and restore the FBI to its rightful role as a law enforcement agency, not a political enforcer.
The attacks on Kash will only escalate, but that is the clearest indication that he is the right man for the job.
The Road Ahead
Kash inherits an FBI that has lost the confidence of the American people. Scandals, cover-ups, and political meddling have tarnished what was once the world’s premier law enforcement agency. The mission is clear: clean up corruption, hold bad actors accountable, and restore faith in the rule of law.
His appointment is a declaration that law enforcement must serve the people — not the political elite. If he succeeds, Kash Patel will go down in history as the man who saved the FBI from itself.
His confirmation marks the beginning of that fight. And for the first time in years, there is reason to hope.
A Final Prayer for Leadership and Justice
May God bless Kash Patel with wisdom, courage, and protection as he takes on this monumental task under President Trump’s leadership. May God bless the men and women of the FBI who serve with integrity, and may He guide them to restore the agency to its true mission.

Ensuring that they no longer work at the FBI is not retribution; it’s responsible leadership.’
Democrats have cast the Trump administration’s ouster of eight senior FBI leaders as a “purge” and act of “retribution” from a weaponized Justice Department, some likening it to President Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre.”
But former colleagues of the terminated “G-men” say this narrative is backward. FBI officials, past and present, have marshaled significant evidence via whistleblower complaints and testimony indicating that several terminated leaders routinely used their offices for partisan purposes.
These include allegations that at least two of the fired officials, Jeffrey Veltri and Dena Perkins, manipulated the security clearance review process to personally and professionally punish conservatives, Covid-19 vaccine skeptics, and Jan. 6 whistleblowers who reported suspected bureau malfeasance, and retaliated against those who came to the whistleblowers’ defense.
A third, Timothy Dunham, is also alleged to have improperly suspended security clearances.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, read numerous accounts of alleged misconduct perpetrated by these and other officials into the record on Feb. 13 as the committee considered the nomination of Kash Patel for FBI director.
One subordinate of the three terminated individuals, a former supervisory special agent in the Security Division, “SecD,” from which Veltri and Perkins hailed, and whom Dunham oversaw, told the committee:
I witnessed abuses committed against multiple employees by FBI senior leaders, particularly by Jeff Veltri and Dena Perkins. I also saw SecD retaliate against five of its own employees for protesting these unlawful practices. Because I spoke out against these abuses, Perkins and Timothy Dunham suspended my security clearance, costing me my job and continuing employment, totaling approximately $700,000 in lost wages and retirement benefits.
Another former FBI official, Marcus Allen, told the committee that Veltri and Perkins “caused the suspension of my security clearance because I questioned whether the FBI Director was truthful to Congress and whether the FBI was obeying the law and Constitution in the January 6, 2021 investigations.” What followed left “financial and emotional damage to me and my family [that] will never be completely restored.”
A third, Special Agent Garret O’Boyle, who has been indefinitely suspended without pay for well over two years in alleged retaliation for whistleblowing, told the committee that Veltri, Perkins, Dunham, and other leadership up to Christopher Wray, are responsible for what happened to me and my family.”
“Ensuring that they no longer work at the FBI is not retribution; it’s responsible leadership.”
Patel has been nominated to replace Wray, who came under fire from Republicans who believed the bureau targeted Trump supporters, parents, pro-life activists, and others. The Republican allegations informed President Trump’s first-day executive order, “Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government,” and his Jan. 31 directive terminating eight high-level figures — including those overseeing branches from counterterrorism to criminal investigations and the heads of the bureau’s Miami and Washington field offices. The memo also called for a review of the work of all FBI personnel pertaining to Jan. 6, numbering 5,000 in all, for misconduct
What did those tentacles do? First and foremost, they extended into the taxpayers’ pockets to extract tens of billions of dollars a year, transferring those dollars to organizations and agencies favored by the transnational elite. The projects could be anything from overthrowing a government or two to putting some spending money into the pockets of the favored elites.
A grain or two of rice might be given to some starving people for appearance’s sake, but that was hardly the point. The grift and the power were.
A perfect example is the case of Rory Stewart, a former Member of Parliament in the Conservative Party, a staunch “Remainer” with a rather plummy background that included everything from the Eton to Oxford to MI6ish stuff best not spoken of to politics to academia track. His father was literally a colonial official, and Stewart styles himself an adventurer akin to the Victorians. He has taught at Yale and Harvard and hosts the most popular political podcast in the UK. He almost replaced Theresa May after she was displaced.
Stewart is big mad because USAID funds were cut, and you will be delighted that he is after you watch this.
The HORROR! His wife’s cushy nonprofit that, to be honest, pretty much exploits Indigenous artists around the world by purchasing their products for pennies and selling their wares online at outrageous prices, is losing its next installment of a million dollars because of mean old Donald Trump.
Where, oh where, will Rory get his spending money from, if not the American taxpayers? (Actually, Rory is pulling in around £70,000 a month from his podcast, so he is doing fine).
Stewart expects people to be appalled that the gravy train has been cut off, not realizing that almost nobody knew or cared about the money flowing into his pockets until he whined that it stopped.
Now that we know, we want the rest of it back. Teaching Afghan women about Dadaism is not how we expected our foreign aid money to be spent.
Sending money to Turquoise Mountain is hardly the worst thing USAID ever spent money on. I wish it were, because then I wouldn’t have to worry about the hundreds of millions we sent to Hamas, or al Qaeda, or ISIS.
But it may be the most symbolic.
USAID was the mad money for the transnational elite. It was a giant pool of cash into which they could dip their hands and extract whatever amount was needed to slake their thirst.
Want to overthrow a government? USAID can help! Want to create a Narrative™? USAID has bought and paid for journalists and a censorship arm to help with that too!
Want to start an arts and crafts company? The US taxpayer will make it happen!
One has to wonder just how many bits of USAID money have flowed through Stewart’s life? His globe-trotting, intelligence-adjacent history, political and academic career, and his foray into broadcasting all suggest that lots of opportunities were there for the taking.
I have neither the time nor the skills to dig through his income flow and history to see how many times his life has intersected with USAID generosity, but at least $10 million has flowed his direction just through Turquoise Mountain.
No wonder he is upset. Wouldn’t you be if some Bad Orange Man and Crazy Rocket Man dammed up the flow of free money into your pockets?
The wonder of it all is that so many of his listeners are as horrified as he is at Trump for doing this.
The top federal prosecutor overseeing criminal cases at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., has abruptly resigned, claiming that Trump-appointed officials insisted she investigate a government contract awarded during Joe Biden’s administration and take decisive action to freeze the recipient’s assets.
Denise Cheung, the office’s now-former criminal chief, submitted her resignation on Tuesday in a letter to interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin.
“When I started as an AUSA, I took an oath of office to support and defend the Constitution, and I have executed this duty faithfully during my tenure, which has spanned through numerous Administrations,” Cheung wrote in her email obtained by far-left CNN.
“I know that all of the AUSAs in the office continue to honor their oaths on a daily basis, just as I know that you have always conducted yourself with the utmost integrity.”
Far-left The New York Times reported, citing sources close to the situation, that Cheung stepped down in protest just a day after President Trump announced his nominee for U.S. Attorney, Ed Martin.
The top federal prosecutor who supervised criminal cases at the Washington D.C. U.S. Attorney’s office resigned on Tuesday, citing what she described as an improper demand by Trump-appointed officials to launch a criminal probe and pursue an asset freeze.
In a letter to the interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin reviewed by Reuters, the office’s criminal chief Denise Cheung wrote that President Donald Trump’s administration had ordered her to investigate a government contract awarded during Joe Biden’s administration and pursue a freeze of the recipient’s assets.
Acting US Attorney for DC, Ed Martin, a staunch defender of constitutional rights, has been outspoken about the necessity of undoing the politically motivated January 6 prosecutions pushed by the previous administration.
Cheung, who had been with the DOJ for years, reportedly opposed Martin’s efforts to reassess the use of felony obstruction charges against January 6 defendants—a charge that the Supreme Court recently overturned.
Rather than uphold justice, Cheung appears to have chosen to walk away rather than be part of an effort to rectify the government’s politically motivated prosecution of Trump supporters.
Today, we as a nation are monstrously in debt and borrowing more and more off the backs of our children and grandchildren. Yet Alexander Hamilton, our country’s first Secretary of the Treasury, said in Federalist35 that our economy will work best when we have less needless regulations.
He notes: “It might be demonstrated that the most productive system of finance will always be the least burdensome.” He says what we need is “a judicious exercise of the power of taxation.”
Fast forward to today. President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and his whiz kids at DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency), are uncovering outrageous misuse of our hard-earned tax dollars by previous administrations.
Take USAID, which was established over sixty years ago to provide “U.S. foreign development assistance from the American people
Most Americans, if they knew anything about the agency, thought we were providing food or clean water to impoverished nations, but noooo.
What has been revealed is outrageous. U.S. Congressman Brian Mast from Florida has released a laundry list of outrageous uses of our tax dollars, supposedly to help with “development assistance.” This list includes USAID funding as well as that of the State Department.
Mast notes that these are some of the ways our tax dollars are at work around the world— because of the left’s hijacking of USAID and the State Department:
▪$15 million for condoms to the Taliban through USAID.
▪$446,700 to promote the expansion of atheism in Nepal through the State Department.
▪$1 million to boost French-speaking LGBTQ groups in West and Central Africa through the State Department.
▪$14 million in cash vouchers for migrants at the southern border through the State Department.
▪$20,600 for a drag show in Ecuador through the State Department.
▪$47,020 for a transgender opera in Colombia through the State Department.
▪$32,000 for an LGBTQ-centered comic book in Peru through the State Department.
▪$55,750 for a climate change presentation warning about the impact of climate change in Argentina to be led by female and LGBT journalists through the State Department.
▪$3,315,446 for “being LGBTQ in the Caribbean” through USAID.
As Gary Bauer puts it (End of Day Report, 2-10-25): “they are promoting anti-Christian values, including LGBTQ ideology and abortion worldwide.”
Half a million dollars spent to promote atheism in Nepal? The founding fathers said America was founded on the belief that God is the source of our rights. Why are we spreading unbelief in other places? To this day, our national motto is “In God We Trust.”
Mast also lists: “$425,622 to help Indonesian coffee companies become more climate and gender friendly through USAID.” And on it goes. Think about this when you’re doing your taxes this year.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now the head of USAID, and he said last week he’s paring that staff down from 10,000 to 300. That’s like Gideon’s army in the Bible. There were 10,000 wanting to serve, but God had Gideon trim it down to only 300, and He gave them the victory.
The founders of America would be appalled that this is how far we have fallen from their vision of limited government, based on God-given rights and the consent of the governed. I never consented, nor would I consent, to such immoral goals.
No wonder President Trump is trying defund this wasteful spending.
In his Farewell Address, George Washington warned the new nation to be careful about national debt: “As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible.” Yet we are not using public credit “sparingly” at all.
Thomas Jefferson also gave some strong warnings about our economy. In his First Inaugural Address, our third president stated, “a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.”
James Madison said, “I go on the principle that a public debt is a public curse, and in a Republican Government a greater curse than in any other.”
Thomas Jefferson once said, “To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy.”
And to think part of our debt today is because of these left-wing boondoggles. One can only imagine what the founding fathers would think of our bloated government today.
There was plenty of reaction on social media, and poor Toobin perhaps got the worst of it, but most of those funny posts aren’t fit to be printed here.
Interestingly, CNN doesn’t mention the name-calling on their webpage showing the clip; instead, their headline is “Anderson Cooper pushes back on Musk’s claim DOGE is transparent with Americans.” I love how they’re using the word “transparent” in a headline yet ignoring what is actually newsworthy about their own clip.
RedState’s Bonchie weighed in and noted how the moment showed just how the media has blown a gasket:
Sununu and the mudslinging anchor were talking about the many cuts to the federal government that DOGE has enacted, cuts that have completely freaked out unhinged politicians like House Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who was frothing at the mouth at a demonstration the other day and strangely chanting, “We will win! We Will Win!” Bad news, Chuck: you just lost in November.
Cooper admitted that Elon Musk had claimed there was government waste, but hadn’t proved it yet:
COOPER: He’s giving very specific things, but he’s not actually giving any evidence of that.
SUNUNU: It’s all going to come because what they also said was, if we have to go to Congress, we’ll go to Congress. We’ll show where it is.
Very impressive, Anderson. No, it’s not the worst word I’ve ever heard, and no I’m not shocked beyond the pale—but it isn’t what serious anchors making millions of dollars should be doing on live newscasts.
It’s just one more in the thousand cuts that have led to their decline from the once “The Most Trusted Name in News” to a ratings black hole and a general laughingstock.
It’s still good for entertainment, though, as we just saw.

Now that President Trump is back in the White House, it’s time to take a victory lap and remind every smug liberal that their so-called “34-time convicted felon” narrative was always a sham. We knew it. You knew it. And now, with the truth coming to light, even some of them are starting to wake up.
Because here’s the reality: That entire case was a disgraceful political hit job, and the most blatant abuse of the justice system we’ve ever seen. The Biden DOJ never even bothered to hide their corruption. They weaponized the courts like a banana republic, hoping to kneecap Trump before the election. Spoiler alert: It failed spectacularly.
The “Crime” That Wasn’t a Crime Let’s break this down so even your most TDS-ridden cousin at Thanksgiving can understand it:
Trump was hit with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records—which, by the way, is a misdemeanor. The statute of limitations on a misdemeanor in New York? One year. So how did Alvin Bragg upgrade this to a felony? Well, in legal gymnastics that would make Simone Biles jealous, they claimed Trump falsified records to cover up another crime.
What was the other crime? No one knows! The indictment didn’t say, the judge didn’t specify, and the jury was handed a grab bag of possibilities, like some twisted legal lottery.
The jury wasn’t even required to agree on what this “other crime” was. One juror could think it was election fraud, another could believe it was a tax violation, and another could claim Trump’s hair is a crime against humanity. It didn’t matter.
The Statute of Limitations Trick Even with this legal charade, the prosecution had a problem: The case was still outside the statute of limitations.
But fear not! The deep state had a trick up its sleeve. They used a court ruling from Harvey Weinstein’s appeal (yes, THAT Harvey Weinstein) which said time spent out of state could “pause” the statute of limitations.
Trump, being the former leader of the free world, traveled frequently. So they decided that because Trump was… you know… doing his job, his statute of limitations clock should be stopped.
Yeah, that sounds fair.
Let’s be clear: Trump was never told what crime he was supposedly covering up until AFTER the trial.
Think about that.
How do you mount a defense against an unknown crime? That’s not justice. That’s a third-world dictatorship.
But the jury? They weren’t troubled by such pesky details. They were handed a list of three possible crimes—one state election law violation, one federal election law violation, and a tax issue—and told they didn’t even have to agree on which one Trump “covered up.”
Meaning? We don’t even know what crime Trump was actually convicted of!
This isn’t just a sham trial. This is a historic disgrace.
Let’s not forget:
Hillary Clinton literally had a secret server in her basement, deleting 30,000 emails AFTER they were subpoenaed. No charges.
Hunter Biden has been caught in more shady foreign dealings than a Bond villain. Slap on the wrist.
Joe Biden himself was caught with classified documents next to his vintage Corvette—which, by the way, was NOT protected by Secret Service. Nothing happened.
Meanwhile, Trump writes a check to his lawyer and suddenly he’s a felon? Give me a break.
THE ARTFUL DILETTANTE
