On this Sunday, the traditional day of rest, I find myself musing over some compelling questions, and attempting to answer them.
Here goes.
Q: Why did Clueless Joe spend Friday afternoon handing out medals like free cheese to fellow Democrats Al Gore, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Michael Bloomberg and Jim Clyburn?
A: Even the Clueless One was not sure, as evidenced by him referring to the medals as “Presidential Freedom” and “Presidential Freedom of Medal.” Actually, it’s called the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Joe.
Gore might have been honored for disputing his 2000 presidential election loss (election denying is OK if one is a Democrat) and for getting rich and fat on climate change merchandising. Kerry also had his presidential election loss denied and since then has acted in various governmental roles by flitting about the globe in private jets lecturing the common folk to walk instead of drive cars, all in the pursuit of a more stable climate.
Pelosi deserved recognition for ripping up a copy of a Donald Trump State of the Union speech on live television and later hiding in her locked office after allegedly making sure the National Guard was not on Capitol Hill to deal with Jan. 6 protesters.
As for Bloomberg, he promoted freedom by banning “sugary drinks” over 16 ounces from being sold in New York City while he was mayor there, and also has donated millions of dollars to Biden’s campaign funding.
Finally, Rep. Clyburn can be counted on for outrageous thoughts and actions, from calling a sitting president, Donald Trump, “Mussolini” to claiming voting fraud in Ohio and refusing to vote for the certification of George W. Bush’s re-election.
In Orwellian ways, all promoted “freedom.”
Q: Is it possible the leftists who have taken over the Democratic Party are intentionally attempting to bankrupt the country?
A: I have asked a similar question about Johnstown, with our ruling elites and special interest groups seemingly intent on pandering to the lowest common denominator to keep Johnstown poor and, as a side benefit, making sure the in-crowd politically benefits financially.
On the national front, the throwing open of our borders to people destined for welfare, artificially raising minimum wages to lessen demand for unskilled workers and indirectly impoverishing them, promoting protests for suspect causes like Hamas terrorists or BLM, institutionalizing discrimination against Whites and Asians, promoting class warfare even though most of the very richest are leftists, all make little sense unless viewed through the Cloward-Piven lens.
Wikipedia tells us that Cloward and Piven were a couple of leftist activists at Columbia University who in 1966 outlined a strategy to use “militant anti-poverty groups” to overwhelm the welfare system and so force imposition of a guaranteed minimum income and other measures in which the Feds did a better job of thieving money from achievers to reward underachievers. It’s taken longer than Cloward and Piven would have liked, but we’re heading there at a rapidly increasing pace.
Q: Why is it OK for Feds to tamper with evidence in Donald Trump’s classified documents court case?
A: You can’t ask this with a straight face considering all the Feds have done to Trump, from spying on his campaign, to ginning up a false Russian collusion accusation, to lying to FISA courts to get wiretap clearance, to sending petty political operatives masquerading as District Attorneys in deep blue jurisdictions to pursue him with bizarre, politically motivated claims such as fraud when no harm was claimed by the supposedly defrauded banks.
The classified document case — the same sort that a special prosecutor looking into Clueless Joe mishandling classified information felt merited no charges because Clueless was, well, Clueless – has been rigged by Special Counsel Jack Smith. His team admitted Friday to having tampered with items in storage boxes and having misrepresented previously to the court that it had not been done.
So, the boxes with the alleged classified information are not intact and the chain of evidence has been broken, which ordinarily is a major problem for prosecutors. But this is Trump, so legal rules do not apply to his prosecutors.
