Audacity of Accusation

In a contest, if one side is allowed to cheat and the other not ... in fact is then accused, with audacity, of cheating, the other side has a much more difficult time prevailing. This doesn’t mean that they can’t, but it is quite unlikely. That is why Donald Trump’s winning the presidency in 2016 was almost miraculous ... given the extensive Obamagate conspiracy against his campaign and then his presidency.

And Trump would be foolish to expect anything less from Biden and the slimy Democrat operatives this time around.


STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Know-Nothings

I guess I don’t and will never understand people who are proud about what they don’t know. If I get caught in an information hole, I am embarrassed and try to fill it back up. 

These “know-nothings” don’t watch FoxNews. Some will not read the New York Times. Others don’t want to know any details about Obamagate. Too many won’t follow the debate about climate change ... they just know that it’s going to burn us alive. I myself even resent my wife’s subscribing online to that rag of a newspaper, the Boston Globe ... but I do chuckle when she reads me its dellusional stories.

People’s information tastes are fickled ... and often driven by fads and cocktail party conversation. However, wearing ignorance as a badge of honor has me baffled.

Brought to Heel

SloJoe Biden has pledged not to pardon Trump were he to beat the odds and get elected president next fall. Interesting!  On the other hand, AG Barr has contemporaniously indicated that it is very unlikely that either Obama or Biden will be hauled before the docks in what Trump has dubbed “Obamagate.” In other words, even if our previous administration was up to their eyeballs in trying to overthrow their follow-ons, because of a vague notion of preserving a semblance of peaceful transition of power,  the previous villanous top conspirators will skate.

Now, I understand the logic of Barr’s stance ... and am not surprised at Biden’s petty campaign grandstanding ... but there needs some sober reflection on this giving a pass to previous presidents and vice presidents from any criminal prosecutions. I tend to think that Biden’s stance makes more sense ... but let’s be frank ... if Obama and Biden  were involved in subterfuge against Trump and the Trump administration, they should be prosecuted and appropriately punished.

Why do I feel this way?

If justice is not served, then as we have repeatedly seen, the next offense is even more audacious ... and I think that the Obama miscreants crossed a threshold of tolerance. Barr is wrong. Even if their crimes implicate the top dogs, the previous administration needs to be brought to heel.

The Dems have already telegraphed that, if Biden were to win, they will try to prosecute Trump. Turnaround is fair play.
