The word of Donald Trump’s conviction reached me Thursday even as I was trying to sort through a problem gaining title to my latest vehicle purchase.
There is a common thread here. Allow me to elaborate.
First, I’m not shocked that Trump has been convicted. It was not by accident that the case, brought by a politicized district attorney, tried under the guidance of a politicized judge and with a jury plucked from the deepest blue part of already deep blue New York State, produced the desired Deep State verdict.
Clueless Joe and his operatives have succeeded in weaponizing the courts, the intelligence network and various levels of federal law enforcement operations against his chief rival for president, one Donald Trump.
Deluded Democrats will argue until they go hoarse that none of this is true. I can only argue the facts, from the lies to judges to get wiretaps on Trump, to the clear difference in prosecuting Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents to giving Clueless Joe the senility pass on same, to the questionable acts of those ranging from FBI agents to judge Juan Merchan, Bogota, Colombia’s gift to American jurisprudence.
This sham trial is the cherry on the top of a sundae of bastardization of the legal system.
Back to my title problem. I received a letter today from the people at the state Department of Transportation that they had problems issuing me a title for the 1984 Corvette I had purchased April 9, 2024.
Specifically, an accompanying notation cited a lack of a proper notary seal and signatures.
The car having been purchased a two and one-half hour drive away, this presents a problem. I called the woman who had handled the title work and we walked through the situation over the phone. I presumed – correctly – that our civil servants would have already vacated their offices.
The notary told me where to look to confirm that she had put her seal both on the title and on the accompanying paperwork. We sifted through said paperwork and seemed to find all the appropriate signatures.
So, what happened?
The notary, in speaking with others in her area, says this is a common problem in 2024, where once it was not. Some notaries merely resubmit the paperwork and, magic, it’s OK.
Simply put, the notary said, there are a lot of people working for the state who struggle to do their jobs these days in this department.
She didn’t say it, but I will: Thank you DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion.
People are being given jobs, from judge to paper shuffler, based on race, sexual orientation, gender and not the former standard of competence.
Legal experts I have seen on television regarding the Trump trial – one prominent one who is a self-confessed Hillary Clinton supporter – saw extreme errors in how the Trump judge handled the trial. Did he get the job because he ticked off a lot of DEI boxes – immigrant, non-white, leftist?
Did the person who (mis)handled my title application check some of the same boxes?
You may have read or seen that a full one-half of UCLA’s medical students fail tests of basic medical competence. But they check a lot of DEI boxes, so no problem.
Coming soon to an emergency room near you, doctors who can’t tell the difference between a sprained ankle and lung cancer.
Trump can and will appeal this ridiculous trial and verdict, and will win even if he has to go all the way to the Supreme Court to escape New York’s politicization.
I, hopefully, will get my title problem rectified in coming days, weeks or months.
But it’s time for the nation to take a stand against this rampant bias and ineptitude and the next great chance comes with November’s election. Otherwise, strap in for things to continue to worsen inexorably.
