There is a saying: “Play stupid games … Win stupid prizes.”
Full disclosure: I’m not a “Trump guy.” I’m an American who investigates things, which may get me cancelled. Guess what? I’m a black man in America… I was born cancelled.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, the biggest story in America right now is the 2024 Presidential Election. It features the current Vice President Kamala Harris running against former President Donald Trump.
On the surface, it should not be close. One person has been twice impeached, sued, indicted, and even convicted. However, that person may very well win the election. How is that possible?
Here’s how. On January 6, 2021, events unfolded at the Capitol that made Donald J. Trump the most hated person in the world. The word “insurrection” was used. Trump was called a “threat to democracy.” There’s just one problem… He isn’t.
To those disagreeing with me, ask yourself this question: If Trump was a threat to democracy, then why wasn’t he charged in 2021?
I don’t want to hear about other cases on the docket. Defendants get their cases pushed back all the time. A case against Trump would have been priority one.
Their actions sure didn’t match their words. If someone is a threat to the very fabric of the nation, surely that person would be taken off the field as soon as possible. Yeah… that didn’t happen.
So, why not? It’s simple. Democrats didn’t need him to be an actual threat to democracy. He just had to be a perceived threat. That way, they could use him as a platform to win elections. They even got a kick out of how divided the GOP was, with some loyal to Trump and others who loathed him. If Trump was a threat to democracy, they should have helped the Republicans exorcise him from the Party and politics altogether. Instead, the Dems sat back and let Kevin McCarthy become the first House Speaker to be ousted during his term.
The “eyes wide open” moment for me was when Pennsylvania Democrats ran ads during the 2022 GOP Primary supporting the Trump nominee, because they thought it was a better matchup for them in November. I’m sorry, but if Trump was a “threat to democracy” you wouldn’t risk it!
This was nothing more that good old fashioned electioneering. Like George W. Bush and the War on Terror, the Democrats were using fear to win at the ballot box.
Then, something happened. Other Americans woke up to it as well. We started looking at everything with a critical lens, rather than a fearful eye like we were told to.
First, the Fraud case, where Letitia James hit him for over $450 million. Okay, if something was out of sorts, then why not press charges on the banks who approved the loans? If you’re not charging the banks, and they had the money paid back to them, and they didn’t bring a case against Trump, then what the heck are you charging him for?
An appeals court may soon throw the whole thing out, meaning that “Tish” James wasted taxpayer money on her very own glorified election interference.
The Hush Money case: What kind of judge issues a one-sided gag order? Also, jury instructions should have “guilty beyond a reasonable doubt” at the center, not “if you think something was wrong, then vote guilty.” What was Judge Merchan thinking, if he was even thinking at all?
In July, the Supreme Court made an unusual but consequential ruling on Presidential Immunity, meaning that this case may get tossed also.
The Documents case: If they’re trying to lock him up, why not Biden, who had top secret documents in a Corvette? Meanwhile, Judge Aileen Cannon threw this one out, based on Special Counsel Jack Smith not being properly appointed.
The Jan. 6 case. Fun fact: You can actually charge someone with an insurrection. Funnier fact: They didn’t.
Wait, you call the whole thing an “insurrection,” and yet you didn’t charge the person you say was responsible with an insurrection?! Instead, they charged him with a bunch of goofy who knows what.
Contrary to Cannon, Judge Chutkan did not oppose Smith being in charge, and let him adjust the case to omit the presidential acts from it. Also, she allowed him to release documents pertaining to the case. Outside of bizzarro land, no intelligent lawyer would want documents out in the wild, because you open yourself up to appeals left and right.
It would be hard to win a case like that, unless the purpose isn’t to win in a court of law, but in the court of public opinion. The only thing that remotely makes sense is that this is glorified election interference under color of official right – which is pretty much what Trump was accused of all the way back to the first impeachment.
Then, there is the Georgia RICO case. Fani Willis insisted on a mugshot for one of the most famous and recognizable people on the planet. Her reward? Having people stuff his campaign coffers in response. She might have realized this at some point, but she was too busy putting out the fire of an improper relationship with a coworker on the case. Thanks to all the appeals – because that’s what happens when you stupidly stuff a bunch of people into a RICO indictment – that case got pushed back as well.
Now, in the time that Trump could have been stewing behind bars if he was taken care of in 2021, he gained momentum – and unified the once divided GOP. The struggles of the Biden Administration, Harris not performing with the border or anything for that matter, the first debate debacle, Trump surviving assassination attempts, the second debate that was overshadowed by the extreme bias of ABC, Walz not performing in his debate against Vance – all of this allowed the former POTUS to chart a path back to the White House.
And now, for a personal message to Democrats. Do me a favor… stop taking us for granted.
We DON’T have to vote for a “black” woman who made her name locking up black people in California left and right, but only changed course due to her political ambitions.
We DON’T have to vote for someone who is Nancy Pelosi’s personal pet project, and who is said to be “bold” but is afraid to hold a press conference.
We DON’T have to vote for someone because Barack Obama said so. News flash: We did that in 2021!!! He told us to vote for Joe and look what happened. Like “someone” once said, “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to ‘F’ something up!”
Speaking of celebrities, we DON’T have to vote for someone just because Taylor Swift said so.
A lot of her fans feel that they owe it to her to vote the way she does. Here’s the truth. Brace yourself, because it gets pretty… expensive.
To all her fans: You spent your money on her old albums, you spent your money on her new album, you spent your money on her re-released albums, you spent your money on her “Eras” tour, you spent your money on travel for her tour, you spent your money on hotel or motel rooms for her tour, you spent your money on merchandise for her tour, you spent your money to see the music documentary of her tour, you spent your money on Disney Plus to rewatch the music documentary of her tour with special added features, you spent your money on her other new album, you spent your money on the special version of her other new album.
You dipped into your savings, maxed out your credit cards, and took out loans for everything Taylor Swift, and you made her a billionaire. When it comes to YOUR vote, guess what? You don’t owe Taylor Swift a DAMN thing!
(By the way, if she sees this, she better not get any ideas about dissing me in a song either. I have a pen. I know people who make beats – and I ain’t Jake Gyllenhaal. I can, and WILL defend myself.)
Finally, we DON’T have to vote for a Party that does the very things they accuse Trump of doing…
Dog whistles: When someone says she’s against fracking, but then says she’s for it, but immediately says “my values haven’t changed…” that sounds like a dog whistle to me.
Retaliation: Remember that Primary not long ago, where Tulsi Gabbard destroyed Kamala? It was so bad, that Kamala was the first to drop out. And now, not long after Kamala was INSTALLED – like a dictator – as the nominee, Tulsi ended up on a “special” Quiet Skies list, in which they harass her and her husband.
Gaslighting: Saying that Kamala Harris wasn’t the Border Czar, when she WAS the Border Czar. Calling something the “Inflation Reduction Act” when it was the “Green New Deal” in wolf’s clothing.
At the debate, Kamala said there were no active military serving right now. And yet, some military personnel were watching, and said, “Where the heck are we right now?” And they didn’t say “heck” either.
They want you to have “joy” despite the current state of the country. They insist that everything is fine. There is a meme online that perfectly encompasses this. It’s the one with the dog in the burning room, and the dog says, “This is fine. I’m okay with what’s happening.” THAT is the Democratic Party right now.
And last but not least… the Threat to Democracy: Never mind Project 2025, the REAL threat to this nation is “PROJECT 1984” being run by the Democrats. For those who have not read “1984” here is what is happening RIGHT NOW. The Democrats have seized control of the media. This is their plan: “Control The Messaging… Control The People.”
For example, transgender topics on YouTube. Anything pro-Trans gets boosted and celebrated. However, if someone wants to share their story about any regrets they have or the pitfalls that come with it, the video either gets suppressed or demonetized, or the account gets a strike or is even banned. That is a blatant violation of free speech.
Do you remember all those Kamala staffers who QUIT because they couldn’t stand her? Thanks to the media, it was swept under the rug.
That nasty sound you hear is Edward R. Murrow rolling over in his grave whenever he hears ABC News. The sound of CBS News makes the spirit of Walter Cronkite shrug in disgust. You want to know how you combat this? Boycott ABC News and CBS News!
Remember CNN? Sure, they’re still not completely unbiased, but they’re not as bad now. Why? Because people stopped watching for a bit. When that happened, they moved away from the far left and closer to the middle. That is how you straighten out “owned” news media.
The Democrats have executed one of the best examples of “political backfire” in history. To think, all of this could have been avoided if they had just finished it in 2021. They played stupid games, and on Election Day, they’re going to get stupid prizes: Another Trump Presidency, and everything that comes with it.
Have a nice week. Someone will talk to you next week.
Remember, if I have an “accident” after writing this, it wasn’t an accident.
