My latest in PJ Media:
Inflation is skyrocketing, the Afghanistan withdrawal was an appalling disaster, gas prices are through the roof, the southern border is nonexistent, but hey: no mean tweets! Those who are nostalgic for the days when gas was under two dollars a gallon, the border was under control, and we had America-First government in Washington can visit former President Trump’s website, where on Friday he posted a statement hitting the corrupt elites that included a blistering wallop of Hunter Biden and the compromised establishment that prevents Son of Flubber from prison, or even investigation, on a multitude of charges.
Trump began by noting another instance of Washington corruption: “Isn’t it terrible that all of Andrew McCabe’s benefits, pensions, salary, etc., were just fully reinstated by the Justice Department?” Yes, it is indeed. It demonstrates that the Justice Department is as corrupt as McCabe himself, and all-in on the Russian collusion hoax that McCabe did so much to further. The pension alone amounts to $200,000, and this just reinforces the impression that our justice system has been thoroughly corrupted, such that conservative Republicans are prosecuted for the most trivial of offenses, or imagined offenses, while Democrats and establishment Romneyite Republicans commit the most obvious and egregious crimes and skate every time.
Trump noted correctly: “This is yet another mockery to our Country. Among other things, McCabe’s wife received hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Hillary Clinton and the Democrats while Crooked Hillary was under investigation, which was quickly dropped, of course. What a bad chapter this has been for the once storied FBI—I hate to see it happening, so many GREAT people work there.”
And some who are not so great. Trump continued: “Next thing you know the two lovers, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, will be getting awards for what they did, and Hunter Biden will be given a clean bill of health on everything done by him, with everyone to receive as payment a beautiful Hunter Biden inspired painting selling at your local art gallery for $500,000.”
Then came a glimpse of Trump the master needler, who so charmed many Americans back in 2016 and infuriated others with a burning intensity that still has not died down to this day, with his willingness to talk plainly and his impatience with the hypocritical pieties of establishment Washington politicians: “While I have never painted before, Hunter has inspired me to immediately begin painting because I’ve always felt I have a talent at that, and could surely get at least $2 million dollars per canvas—and probably a lot more. I will begin immediately. Our Country is crooked as hell!”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Westman says
Yes, quite corrupt, and the core of that corruption is allowing outside money to flow to State politicians for State and Congressional seats – stealing the representation of that state’s citizens.
Politicians are for sale and have inadequate term limits. When politicians are for sale, so are their families as Hunter Biden illustrates. It is a “miracle” that our Congressional leaders, receiving nominal salaries, exit political life as decamillionaires while claiming to have attended to the needs of constituents in whose neighborhoods they won’t reside.
Jon Stewart after being asked to pile on Trump: “I think it’s a mistake to focus it all on this one individual and not to focus it more on the idea that power is its own reward whether it be in the financial industry or government. Power doesn’t cede itself, and unless we can figure out a better way to balance out that power … we’ll be vulnerable”
We already see the plans the left has for its new power. Ignoring its own sins is high on the list.

Mrs Clinton always claimed they were ‘broke’ when they left the White House, so where did she get all that money? Not just from lecturing I am sure
Infidel says
Painting is the realm of left leaning losers – like President Bush and Hunter Biden. President Trump, if he wants to dabble in the arts, should take to sculpture ?
bill says
I am an artist and a Trump supporter so scr*w yourself
gravenimage says
I’m also an artist and a Trump supporter. Few and far between, but we *are* out here.
David M says
If you think Old Joe is bad, wait till they cart him off to a mental institution & Cackling Kamala becomes President. That will be something we will have to see to believe.

Americans have always paid ridiculously low prices for petrol (gas). Petrol in Finland is currently the equivalent of 2 dollars a liter ie. 8 dollars a gallon! Back when I drove a car in the eighties and nineties, it was
nearly 4 dollars a gallon
