Is America a Nation of Laws?

For five years running, a variety of laws broken by top officials of our federal agencies have gone unpunished.

Published

on

As we hear news broadcasts about members of the U.S. armed forces or law enforcement professionals being killed in the line of duty, we’re instantly reminded of the sacrifices that so many have made, and others continue to make so that we can enjoy the freedoms many multitudes around the world do not have.

Concurrently, the specter of corruption and lawlessness prevails in our cities and among government officials. The illegal raid on Rudy Giuliani’s offices and property is merely the latest in a string FBI malfeasance.

Law and order matter because they are the glue by which a society can function. Without them, cities and towns devolve into anarchy and chaos. What we’ve witnessed of late in Portland and Minneapolis, and earlier in Seattle, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Cleveland, represent clear signposts as to what life would be like without law and order

Wild in the Streets

While many on the Left do all that they can each day to minimize the extent of the municipal uprisings, considering the amount of damage done and the inability of local jurisdictions to maintain control, the grim reality is that, left unchecked, many people will run wild in the streets.

If you’re among those people who are fine with what’s occurring, and not using local or federal troops to restore order, contemplate how you would feel if your town, specifically your neighborhood, and perhaps even right in front of your house, overly vigorous protesters began to appear day and night.

Suppose some of these protesters taunted you, said they’re going to take over your home, and said that your property doesn’t belong to you, it belongs to them. Would you find that to be a bit upsetting?

The Unpunished

Violent protests and riots are one form of lawbreaking, but other forms are equally troubling in a society that prided itself as a nation of laws.

For five years running, a variety of laws broken by top officials of our federal agencies have gone unpunished. No one from the State Department, Department of Justice, FBI, or a variety of other federal agencies who knowingly broke the law has yet been indicted, let alone accused, let alone referred for prosecution (as far as we know).

Of nagging continuing concern to those on the right: The case against Hillary Clinton in 2016 for her egregious security breaches as U.S. Secretary of State, as observed by the Washington Post, New York Times and Wall Street Journal among legions of media outlets on the left and the right, to this day, is still evident.

The Obama Administration plainly let Hillary Clinton off the hook for long-running, multi-faceted, gross national security violations that merit a lengthy prison sentence. She engineered such violations to run the U.S. State Department as a Clinton-family profit center. In a nation of laws, she would have already been indicted and, likely, removed by her party in 2016 as a viable presidential candidate.

Lawbenders

The FBI director at the time, James Comey, recommended that she not be prosecuted for extreme carelessness contributing to numerous security breaches. This maneuver might prove to be a watershed moment in American history – denoting when confidence was lost in what should be entrusted leaders and institutions, and of ‘We the People.’

Despite two ongoing FBI criminal investigations, former president Obama had already committed to campaigning with Hillary Clinton that same day that Comey handed Clinton a free pass. Nevermind the 33,000 subpoenaed emails she destroyed.

In late 2020, with Bill Barr as attorney general, we thought that Hillary Clinton might yet face charges for her high crimes – even easier to prove with Judicial Watch digging up new evidence every week – as her numerous lies before Congressional committees are amply documented on video.

Alas, no dice. If she is never charged, the biggest losers are American citizens on the right and the left.

Taking Abuse

If you’re a Bernie Sanders supporter, you have the right to this day to be livid because your candidate, amidst other blatant abuses during the 2016 campaign, was denied his rightful ascension to the top of the Democratic Party.

If you’re not upset that Hillary Clinton hasn’t been indicted, ask yourself, “Is allowing her to be above the law worth jeopardizing the values upon which our Republic is based?”

A Day of Infamy: The Orchestrated, Unlawful Trump Indictment

The raw stink of the Biden Administration will linger for the rest of American history

Published

on

So, starting before he took office, after seven years of the Left trying pin something, anything, on Donald Trump, he is indicted over NOTHING. This occurring less than 300 days away from the Iowa Republican caucuses, the acknowledged start of events leading up to the 2024 U.S. presidential and congressional elections.

The raw stink of the Biden Administration will linger for the rest of American history: The indictment is an act of political war, nothing less, and a day of infamy on par with many in our history.

The obsession of the Left continues to be “get Trump,” as if that will seal the 2024 election for them, as they know they will be quite vulnerable. Unlike 2022, the GOP could take the Senate and retain the House. Several states will elect Republican governors, some for the first time in a long time.

Not to be a ‘Doubting Thomas,’ we all have memories of the 2020 and 2022 elections. For anyone to proclaim that the 2020 election was the most secure election in history is simply a gross lie. Mark Zuckerberg and his drop boxes alone yielded a five-state swing for Biden which would have been Trump’s and would have easily given Trump a huge Electoral College majority.

Refining Their Techniques

Because 2024 is a national election and the Democrats have refined their techniques, in addition to the bogus indictment, the election fraud in which they will engage could be far more difficult to discern than in previous years. The cheating will occur in all 50 states, at the regional level, and at the local level. It will once again include everything from forging ballots to late ballots to double counting ballots to destroying ballots for the opposing side.

In any case, we must head into this election sternly. The election monitors must be as vigilant as ever before. Don’t allow anybody to usher you out of the room. Don’t allow anyone to use newspapers or posters to cover windows so that transactions on the floor cannot be seen.

Finish the election on time on the same day. Be on guard for those late-arriving packages of goodies (ballots) that invariably reward Democrats and consistently penalize Republicans.

A Looming Doomsday Scenario

What about the disaster where we do not take the Senate? This could spell a grave period for America, as it will be a painstakingly long time ‘til the 2026 and 2028 elections. Even then, Democratic cheating might still prevail.

We must brace ourselves if we do not take the Senate and especially if we somehow lose the House. At that point, it will be time for massive, peaceful resistance in highly public ways to let it be known that this kind of assault on democracy will not stand.

It is time to engage in the practices of the Left, however vile we have regarded their practices over the years – blocking roads and disrupting meetings. It is time to dominate school board meetings and all public forums of every type.

We must make our voices be heard in ways that we have not previously attempted.

Why is the GOP Squeamish?

Why are Republicans, and those who vote as such, traditionally reticent to get down and dirty? For one, we have jobs; personal and professional responsibilities. Do Antifa members? One wonders. We have families. We manage households. We do the work that keeps America going, not to say that some Democrats don’t do the same. However, let’s face it: Democrats include almost all convicts, a huge portion of the unemployed and underemployed, the brunt of the entitlement class, and those who would rather tear down the country than do anything else.

The Left includes most of Hollywood, academia, the complicit media, and Big Tech, whose methods for manipulating what really transpires on the web goes beyond what we can imagine, although, on a massive scale, we sense what’s occurring.

The Highest of High Stakes

We need to take back the country. The stakes are too high to play Mr. Nice Guy. Is there any point in standing by as the United States is systematically destroyed? The Trump indictment, more than ever, signals that we might not survive the decade:

The inflation rate, the crime rate, the massive numbers of people pouring over the border, the growing drug crisis, the massive foreign policy failures, the gargantuan national debt, the supply chain disruption, the transportation disasters and boondoggles, the rate at which children are being brainwashed and sexualized, and the sheer incidence of all things bad accelerating, on all fronts, could prove to be too much to bear.

The clock is ticking. There is no time to dillydally. We must batten down the hatches, or prepare  to live in a police state.

While Biden Insults Israel, Here is Why the US Must Support Our Ally

Israel is a key ally for the United States in the Middle East

There are several reasons why the United States should support Israel. In this essay, we will explore these reasons in detail and argue for the importance of the United States’ support for Israel.

First, the Bible clearly states that God has chosen Israel as his people. In the book of Genesis, God promises to Abraham that his descendants will become a great nation and that all nations will be blessed through him. This promise is reiterated throughout the Old Testament, with God making a covenant with Israel and promising to bless them if they obey his commands. In Deuteronomy 7:6-8, God says, “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.”

Furthermore, in the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as the “King of the Jews” and he himself was born in Bethlehem, in Israel. The Apostle Paul also acknowledges the importance of Israel in Romans 11:1-2, “I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew.”

Second, throughout history, the Jewish people have faced persecution and discrimination. The Holocaust, where six million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis, is one of the most well-known examples of this persecution. The State of Israel was established in 1948 as a homeland for the Jewish people, in response to this persecution. Since then, Israel has faced constant threats to its existence, with neighboring countries and terrorist organizations seeking to destroy it. The United States’ support for Israel is a way of standing with the Jewish people and ensuring their safety and security.

Third, Israel is a key ally for the United States in the Middle East. The two countries share similar values, including democracy, freedom, and the rule of law. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, and as such, it is an important partner for the United States in promoting democracy and stability in the region. Additionally, Israel has a strong military and intelligence capabilities, which are important for the United States’ security interests in the region.

Historically, there have been several instances where the United States’ support for Israel has been crucial. For example, during the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Israel was facing a coordinated attack from Egypt and Syria. The United States provided military assistance to Israel, which helped to turn the tide of the war in Israel’s favor. In 1991, during the Gulf War, Iraq fired missiles at Israel in an attempt to draw Israel into the conflict. However, Israel did not retaliate, thanks in part to the United States’ efforts to convince Israel to remain out of the conflict.

In addition to these historical events, there are also several quotes from biblical scholars, historians, and politicians that support the United States’ support for Israel. For example, in his book The Case for Israel, Alan Dershowitz writes, “The struggle between Israel and its enemies is not simply a dispute over territory, nor is it a religious conflict between Jews and Muslims. It is, rather, a clash between two fundamentally different worldviews: one that values human life and individual freedom, and one that values death and submission to the will of Allah.” Dershowitz’s statement highlights the importance of Israel as a bastion of democracy and individual freedom in a region that is often characterized by authoritarianism and oppression.

Similarly, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “The Jews are the most formidable and the most remarkable race that has appeared in the world.” Churchill’s statement acknowledges the resilience and tenacity of the Jewish people, who have faced centuries of persecution and discrimination, yet have managed to thrive and make significant contributions to the world.

Finally, former U.S. President Ronald Reagan once said, “Israel is the only place in the Middle East where Christians, Jews, and Muslims are all free to worship and live in peace.” Reagan’s statement highlights the importance of Israel as a beacon of religious tolerance and coexistence in a region that is often characterized by sectarian conflict.

In conclusion, there are several reasons why the United States should support Israel. Firstl, the Bible clearly states that God has chosen Israel as his people, and as such, Israel holds a special place in the hearts of many Christians. Second, Israel has faced centuries of persecution and discrimination, and the establishment of the State of Israel was a response to this persecution. Supporting Israel is a way of standing with the Jewish people and ensuring their safety and security. Third, Israel is a key ally for the United States in the Middle East, sharing similar values and providing important military and intelligence capabilities. Finally, there are several quotes from biblical scholars, historians, and politicians that support the United States’ support for Israel, highlighting the importance of Israel as a bastion of democracy, religious tolerance, and coexistence in a region that is often characterized by authoritarianism and sectarian conflict. As such, the United States’ support for Israel is not only a moral imperative, but also serves the strategic interests of the United States in the Middle East.
