The 9th Commandment states that “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” It’s not a suggestion, but you’d never know it based on the way our elites treat anyone who has a different take on things than they do. So, why am I focusing on this in the first place?
Well…
- 1. In my humble opinion, the consequences of continued violations of this Commandment are the most lasting and hurtful (outside of murder).
- 2. The most pernicious lies that arise from these violations are centered around the politics of personal destruction. Anyone and everything are fair game. “By any means necessary” becomes the credo of those involved in this toxic mudslinging endeavor.
- 3. Although sticks and stones can break our bones, these violations can break the spirit and wear down the soul. They are intended to cause as much harm as possible and have their origins in evil intentions and malice of forethought.
- 4. Worse yet, they draw in individuals who know nothing about the origins of said falsehoods or those behind them but parrot this nonsense as if it was the God’s truth.
We saw this with the Russia collusion hoax where Hillary Clinton’s campaign, in collaboration with our national security apparatus, created this false narrative that President Trump’s campaign had thrown in with the Russians to steal the 2016 election from Mrs. Clinton. We saw it again with the first of two sham impeachments and a congratulatory phone call between President Trump and the newly elected president of Ukraine. They were discussing the firing of prosecutor Victor Shulkin who had been investigating a corrupt oligarch and his energy company, Burisma. A company that one Robert Hunter Biden sat on the board of while his father was the sitting Vice President of the United States and had Ukraine as part of his portfolio.
We’re seeing it happen again, but this time the opposition is using lawfare, or the various branches of government at the federal, state, and local levels, to go after Mr. Trump, since he will be President Biden’s most likely opponent during the current election cycle. Just like the Mueller prosecution team, we get to see who these individuals truly are. With Mueller, it was Andrew Weissmann, an overzealous prosecuting attorney who had his Arthur Andersen/Enron convictions overturned at the appellate level. His current day counterpart in the classified documents and January 6th cases is Jack Smith, another overzealous prosecutor. Mr. Smith had his conviction of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell overturned by a 9 -0 vote at the US Supreme Court. At the state and local levels, you have the New York State Attorney General Letitia James and her counterpart Manhattan District Attorney (DA) Alvin Bragg. Both ran campaigns focused on jailing Donald Trump. In Fulton County, Georgia, you have DA Fanni Willis, who brought a RICO case against Mr. Trump and more than a dozen others for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Ms. Willis and her paramour now find themselves under the microscope, given an inappropriate relationship and potential conflicts of interest.
The one common thread that ties all of these folks together is a lack of ethical behavior that we have come to expect from individuals in such positions of power and authority. As these cases start to slowly unravel (Fulton County for starters), we will come to find out in the words of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey that no reasonable prosecutor would have ever brought them in the first place. But then again, none of these folks have been acting in any sort of reasonable or responsible manner, which is what made them the perfect vessels for the powers that be who do not want Trump on the ballot.
Speaking of keeping Donald Trump off the ballot, we have the curious cases of the Colorado Supreme Court and Maine Secretary of State who decided that Mr. Trump had engaged in an insurrection and was disqualified from appearing on the ballot in their respective states’ primary elections. Mind you, the impetus for this is Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was a post-Civil War Statute designed to keep former Confederates from being allowed back into Congress. What rarely, if ever gets mentioned is Section Five of the same Amendment. It states, “The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.” That means only Congress can decide how to apply remedies for anyone involved in such acts. Guess what? They did. It’s called 18 USC 2383, and it states, “Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.” Not a single person who has been criminally charged in the Capitol Breach on January 6th, has been charged under this statute. Let that sink in.
Besides Mr. Trump, quite a few of his allies and supporters are also meeting with some sort of pushback. Witness the resignation of the Chairman of the Arizona Republican party who was recorded in a conversation with former Arizona Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake. Rather than try and run through the details involved, I recommend reading the accompanying article and then listening to the leaked audio of the conversation.

Our elites, call them the establishment, the Uniparty, or whatever you please, will not tolerate any individual who pulls back the curtain and exposes them. Despite his obvious character flaws, Donald Trump has been someone willing to level with the American people about what is wrong with this country and how to go about fixing it. The problem is that his efforts have been subverted by the very executive agencies that he is supposed to be in charge of. CISA, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security had apparently been censoring social media posts of concerns being raised about the lack of security when it came to mail-in voting efforts. Their boss, the President of the United States shared similar concerns both before and after the 2020 elections. In fact, in the aftermath of the election, agency head Chris Krebs claimed that it had been the most secure election on record. We now know better.
Without COVID to give them cover this time, the forces aligned against Mr. Trump are going to have to get really creative if they hope to defeat him at the polls this November. I’m expecting that creativity to kick into high gear as he gets closer to securing his party’s nomination. Make sure that you’re safely buckled in folks, the ride we’re on is about to take some very interesting twists and turns.
