Friends, there's been big news in the last several days, and it's confronted you with a real dilemma: in the absence of a blog post by me, how are you to know what to think about fast-breaking developments? Do you love Trump or hate him, now that he faces 37 different federal charges? You need guidance! The good news is that I'm here for you, once again. For instance, I recently gave Sputnik News my two cents about the latest Trump indictments:
In addition, I would add the fact that, as to the substance of the charges, I naturally am in no position to judge. Trump will claim that, as president, he could declassify whatever he liked and take it wherever he liked. The DOJ will claim otherwise. Whether Trump cooperated with the FBI, or obstructed justice, is another matter. In any case, I'm not sure why Trump retained these documents -- they seem to have done him no particular good -- or why he didn't simply give them back. Was it all a setup? It's possible. Was Trump assuming the FBI would never dare to raid his offices, or that the DOJ would never dare to charge him? If so, that seems dangerously naive. Personally, I felt reasonably certain that, as soon as DJT left office, his days as a free man were numbered. The Left and the establishment were bound to pursue him to the ends of the earth, and do everything in their power to destroy him, mainly for spite, but also as an example to anyone who might choose to follow in his footsteps (like you or me). And it sure looks to me like they'll win, in the end. I expect more charges, both federal and state, in the months ahead, and these prosecutions, in themselves, will render a Trump presidential candidacy seriously problematic. What's more, I expect Trump will be convicted. Does that mean that the charges are fair, or that anyone can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he's guilty? No, it means that various prosecutors want to nail him to the wall, and juries drawn from virulently anti-Trump areas are not likely to see things any differently. So, in short, I think Trump is in big, big trouble -- which leaves all the rest of on the right and in the GOP and belonging to the "real America" at something of a loose end. We have some very hard decisions to make in the months ahead.
Meanwhile, in other news, a lot of people are getting hot under the collar about the Biden White House's decision to give the transgender pride flag pride of place, as it were, over the American flag.

I can see why this might rankle dinosaurs like myself who can still count the number of valid genders out there on one hand, but there's another way to look at it. There's a new version of the transgender pride flag that the Biden Administration didn't display, which I saw a lot in Ireland:
This one is "intersex-inclusive", which basically means that it celebrates the contributions of hermaphrodites to society. Now, I think we can all agree that hermaphrodites are truly great people, doing superb work to keep Western Civilization humming (or self-destructing, as the case may be). So why isn't the Biden Administration tipping its hat to hermaphrodites? Does Joe Biden hate hermaphrodites? Does he regard them as inferior? I would imagine quite a few hermaphrodites were triggered by this blatant display of hermaphro-hate, and really who could blame them? So, in conclusion, the real lesson of the recent trans-flag-at-the-White-House controversy is that Joe Biden and the Democrats are fascist thugs who want to practice genocide against hermaphrodites, and I for one deplore their cruelty and their wickedness!
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Well, the present inhabitants of OUR White House, with the necessary ok of their antiamerica puppeteers just lifted a big old digit at America.That the position they laud is the subject of intense controversy is beneath contempt for them .Confederate flags and memorials are regularly denounced because they make some people "uncomfortable". So did this presumptuous display of disdain for any as insolent as to disagree in any manner or degree with any facet, implication or warning embodied therein! That these proto totalitarians are yet again recklessly demonstrating how it would be should they achieve the irresistable power they plainly seek is of no moment to them. They consider their takeover to be inevitable and perhaps imminent and then their biases will be officially enforced doctrine, not just obnoxious misuse of our public property.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: The antiamericans, the left, have turned up the heat to an intense degree and have taken an exceedingly ominous step toward totalitarian
ReplyDeleteprostitution of our legal system. Having achieved that they might well make the final push for their permanent dictatorship. At that point, America would cease to exist(eg. it would undergo a summary name change to some prolix political euphemism after the fashion of their 20th century predecessors; unlimited vindictive oppression would follow with dispatch).If they can railroad President Trump what would stop them subjugating all of us? Dec. 7 is at hand for the real America.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: The misplacement of our Flag was a purposeful statement of antiamerican leftist dismissal of the symbol and the country which reveres it.It says it all about those who brought this possibly even illegal juvenile delinquency to our unredeemed sight. How much more frank could they be? They loathe America! And like the ingrate youth who chose to similarly desecrate the flag in the '60s, they need to grow up. That include the big baby stuck in '65, who now disgraces OUR White House.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: I would think the antiamericans' onslaught on DJT, while intensely and personally hateful , is much attributable also to these factors: unbearable resentment of and incalculably deepened contempt for America for not simply surrendering to the inevitable and ceding full power to their elite but instead insolently and futilely denying them their "great day in the morning"; mortification and self reproach because of the astonishing ascension to power of an unapologetic heretic hombre American; determination never to be plagued by his like again; outrage at the ingratitude of America for their iirrefutable revelation of the only way to unalloyed justice; frantic desire for the day they may work full vindictive recompense for America's fundamental evil. Yet again they make plain what the ambience of their thoroughly punished and reformed , formerly American political entity would be: Marxist hell! The accomplishment of their goal would manifest unending sociopathic oppression.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: And, they are scared to the marrow of DJT because he has dared to raise a plausible prospect of their disempowerment.
ReplyDeleteJack, I can see that Jack Smith isn't likely to receive a Christmas card from you this year! Of course I agree with you that the recent indictments are essentially political and are meant to suppress real opposition to the Deep State now and in the future, BUT...I wonder what your views are on the substance of the charges? Can we say for certain that Trump isn't guilty of all of them? (And, yes, I know all about the get-out-of-jail-free cards that Hillary, and Bill, and every Biden who ever drew breath, currently wield.)
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: A prison inmate once drummed me: "I'm in jail for drunk driving; the DA did the same and he's free; I should be too." My answer was that, no, that DA should be doing time along with him. I'd still say that and am thus constrained to say that taking DJT to law, if the evidence is plausible, is a kind of justice. A leftist once said to me that Slick Willy skated due to " prosecutorial discretion". Well, what about it?.Shakespeare's Measure for Measure skillfully explores many nuances of law enforcement eg. " (the law) it hath but slept, now it is alive. . . !
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Substance of the charges: I think on their face, the charges deserve careful consideration but that a real possibility of decisive flaws exists.Their motivation is baldly political and that may legally affect the case.
ReplyDeleteJack, so much depends on the discretion a president enjoys to dispose of documents as he sees fit... And I suppose one could argue that, if it was imperative that the documents be returned, why didn't the FBI go get them much sooner, and/or why didn't it subpoena them instead of pointedly requesting them?
