Perp Walks and Jump Suits

We’re mad as hell and we aren’t going to take it anymore! That’s just the way it is. America is fed up. Every election cycle, Republican candidates tell us that, in my wife’s expression, they will “Do wonders and poop cucumbers.” And as soon as the polls close, all those promises go away.

The latest examples of this are the “Republican” senators who demanded that some foreign aid money be left on the table in Donald Trump’s tiny $9.4 billion rescission package. The fact that that amount of money is a rounding error in the federal budget angers the rest of us as well. If the keepers of the flame are just using it to light our tax dollars on fire, then they need to wise up.

No single feature of the RINO/Swamp (but I repeat myself) enrages America more than that blatant legal double standard we face. If we don’t do our taxes just right, we get hit with interest and penalties high enough to pay for a large tax intervention industry. But if a Senator or Congressman makes millions while in office, no one in the IRS cares enough to wonder why they’re getting a refund on a salary under $200k.

Then AG Bondi announced the impending release of the Epstein files. MAGA held its breath, waiting for the revelations they would contain. The first (and so far only) tranche turned out to be a nothing burger wrapped in a stale bun. Where’s the beef? And then, silence. Trump’s crew had totally lost control of the curtain. Everything was still hidden. We believed that the stage was full of evil that could be charged against the worst actors on the political stage. But those politicians—elected, appointed, and judicial—are all being protected. We have to pay our traffic tickets. They don’t even get tickets, and that’s just not fair! Are the cops asleep?

These pictures are simply inadequate to the task. The degree of evil we see daily coming from Mordor on the Potomac is so great that only one remedy is possible—blindingly bright direct sunlight. But how can that light shine on the subterranean creatures who are undermining the very foundation of America? There’s so much dirt covering them that they aren’t visible.

Fortunately, we have someone with a big shovel. No, it’s not Pam Bondi,........
