New in PJ Media:
With the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s home Monday, America crossed the Rubicon. American history is full of bitter rivalries and even hatreds between individuals and groups, but never before has one faction used the agencies of the U.S. government to hound, persecute, discredit, and destroy the other. On Tuesday morning, however, numerous patriots were expressing hope: Twitter is full of people saying things on the order of “This assures Trump’s nomination” and even “This assures Trump’s victory in 2024.”
But we have just received new evidence that a principal law enforcement arm of the United States government is deeply corrupt and thoroughly politicized, and apparently willing to do anything to find some crime to pin on Donald Trump so as to prevent him from ever becoming again. We have already seen this agency deeply involved in efforts to frame Trump as colluding with Russia. It’s entirely possible and even likely that we will soon see Trump indicted and even imprisoned. In light of all that, how can anyone be confident that there will even be a free and fair 2024 election?
Consider, by way of contrast, the fact that Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) recently announced that “highly credible” whistleblowers had given him information about FBI efforts to make the Hunter Biden scandal go away. Grassley wrote to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland on July 25 that “the information provided to my office involves concerns about the FBI’s receipt and use of derogatory information relating to Hunter Biden, and the FBI’s false portrayal of acquired evidence as disinformation. The volume and consistency of these allegations substantiate their credibility and necessitate this letter.”
Will anyone hail me as a prognosticator of extraordinary powers when I predict, correctly, that in response to this letter, Wray and Garland will do absolutely nothing, except possibly to cover their tracks more effectively? No, because anyone who has been paying attention can see that.
And Hunter Biden isn’t even close to being the first sign of this institutional corruption. Garland even sicced the FBI on parents protesting at school board meetings over the imposition of the woke agenda in public schools. When challenged, Garland insisted that this was all on the up-and-up: “Parents have been complaining about the education of their children and about school boards since there were such things as school boards and public education. This is totally protected by the First Amendment. True threats of violence are not protected by the First Amendment. Those are the things we are worried about here. Those are the only things we are worried about here. We are not investigating peaceful protests or parent involvement in school board meetings. There is no precedent for doing that and we would never do that. We are only concerned about violence and threats of violence against school administrators, teachers, staff.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

For me it was clear after the last election that an honest fair election count will not be possible in the US in 2024 and if the power grab continues there will be a soviet style government in the US very soon. The shredding of the Bill of Rights taking place to take out Donald Trump is just another step in the dissolution of what is left of the Constitutional Republic. Can’t see anything else but a divided America by groups of States one group making an effort to maintain some sought of Constitutionally based law and order and the other evolving into a Soviet style entity. This clearly means another civil war and what will emerge can’t be known because I suspect some States will call in the UN for help to maintain social order and I further suspect most of those troops to be from the PRC and the DPRK. Russia will take Alaska and secure control of the Arctic Region. There is also the real possibility of Sharia Law being implemented in some areas and that mess is what seems to be on the horizon. This is the nightmare scenario of one who was raised on Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and the Lone Ranger.

Speaking of Garland one remembers Garland Texas where an FBI operative was discovered during a terrorist attack on a drawing Muhammad contest. The two terrorists were groomed by the FBI and encouraged to, “Tear up Texas”, in connection with the contest. There is no doubt that the FBI would have allowed a mass killing of the contest participants if the participants had not been protected by private security guards who killed the terrorists.
And the ignoring of Hunter Biden corruption evidence? Apparently Paul Pelosi Jr has been riding with mom, Nancy, on the taxpayer dime to secure business dealings which might have something to do with, “The Big Gal”, influence.
Obviously we now have a weaponized government that will reward its friends and persecute opponents, jailing them whenever possible. It’s a sad epitaph for US integrity, which may never be recovered. When the GOP controls government the urge for revenge, using the same government tools, may be too great.

The first step in fixing anything is to identify the problem. I think the biggest problem in this country right now is the Democratic Party. It has been taken over by socialists and communists, racists who hate white people and the very idea of a country founded by white people, and by those who hate the idea of God and any religion dedicated to God. The Democratic Party is now under the control of a completely corrupt group of people who have set themselves up as being smarter than the founders of the U.S. and more moral than those who were inspired by God to write the Bible. This comprises an entire generation of people who range in age from Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (and younger) all the way to the old and elderly like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi. These are people who are morally and mentally broken and most are beyond any hope of changing – and they hold the traditional values of America in complete contempt. No, things won’t be fixed any time soon but 2024 can be the start of the rise of a new generation that will replace this corrupt generation now in power. This problem was a long time in the making and it will indeed take a long time to fix it. The answer will have to be found in the way the children of today are taught and raised. So, in my opinion any solution has to include the demise of the Democratic Party (the sooner the better) followed by a re-shaping of our entire public education system so as to keep our children’s minds from being infected by the same moral decay that has caused the Democratic Party to be absolutely rotten to its very core.

That horrible Joe Biden willing allows those who a far more intelligent than him in their insidious and manipulative ways to control the now politically correct corrupted FBI that has been thoroughly influenced and infiltrated by those active in the Red/Green alliance to come down hard on Conservatives who are the political opponents of the far left. As seen in the good Conservative leader, Donald Trump.
It’s only a matter of time before the Biden regime also uses the FBI as it’s tool to come down hard in persecution of that average American patriot citizen,
For that treasonous treacherous villain, “president” pretender Biden has cause and will continue cause tremendous harm.
Furthermore, as declared before and worth declaring again. which is that “Joe Biden is an affront to the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a catastrophe for America and a disaster for the American people.”

All this is terrible, so much so that this growing leftists tyranny may be illustrated by saying “As the coronavirus originated in Wuhan China and then spread throughout the nations of the world, so likewise the growing , graudal , lack of freedom of speech because of political leftism with its tyrannical vicious intolerance of other views and positions had ,mostly, bagan in Washington ,with Nancy Pelosi and others like her, and now gradually spreading with Joe Biden throughout all of the United States of America.

President Donald Trump is the perfect political target. the Democrats hate him, the Republicans party sees him as an outsider who won’t always go along with the status quo and a danger to their easy money train. Trump is a threat to both sides and therefore an easy target.
