April 4, 2023 will live on as the day that America officially became a banana republic. We became a nation that persecutes and prosecutes political foes in the most public and propagandous way possible in order for one party to shout down the other. Wrongthink is officially a crime now.
Sure, they’ll get you for some other infraction. Sort of like how Al Capone went down for tax evasion and not his other crimes. But make no mistake, if you don’t follow the rules, you, too, are guilty of thoughtcrime.

Criticizing presidents and other politicians is what I do and what I should do. In the least biased way possible, holding our politicians accountable for their actions, be they personal bombast or political malfeasance, is the job of the media.
Anyone who has read my website for long knows that I’m no fan of former President Donald Trump. I don’t like Biden either, nor Clinton, nor Obama, nor Bush One or Bush Two. I’ve been heartily disappointed in the actions of all these presidents, and I’ve never made a secret of it. In fact, I regularly compare our election choices to “Which disease would you rather have?” much to the dismay of certain readers. I’ve long thought we could do better when it comes to the person who holds the loftiest office in the United States.
I stand by this. Most of our officials holding the highest positions in the land are in it to enrich themselves and their families, to wield power like a sword, and to surround themselves with the adoration of the masses. Meanwhile, they’re nearly all responsible for getting us involved in wars that are none of our business in order to fight others by proxy. War is big business, peace is for suckers, and the increasing lack of prosperity for average Americans doesn’t really matter.
But indicting a former president on ridiculous charges to keep him out of the next race is a bridge too far.
The presiding judge of a kangaroo court
Add to this that President Trump is facing a kangaroo court, presided over by the father of a young woman whose consulting firm worked on the campaigns of Vice President Harris and Representative Adam Schiff (who led the charge to have Trump impeached). New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has already ruled against Trump’s interests and allies in several cases. Fortune reports:
Merchan has already gotten a taste of cases involving Trumpworld. Starting in January, he oversaw the grand jury that indicted Trump Thursday, after he handled the almost two-month-long tax-fraud trial in which two of Trump’s companies were found guilty of 17 felonies. He also presided over a case in which Weisselberg, Trump’s longtime former chief financial officer, pleaded guilty to his role in a 15-year-long tax-fraud scheme.
Weisselberg got five months in jail, with the judge saying: “The entire case was driven by greed.” He fined the two Trump companies $1.6 million, the maximum penalty.
A court spokesman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Merchan is also assigned the criminal case against former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on charges he cheated contributors to a privately funded US-Mexico border wall out of more than $15 million.
Even Politico has said that this judge has “already rocked MAGA world twice.” How can such a judge be impartial? The American Bar Association clearly states that a judge should disqualify himself if he “has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or a party’s lawyer, or personal knowledge* of facts that are in dispute in the proceeding.”
There is a clear history that should have Judge Merchan recusing himself, and yet, here we are proceeding like this is irrelevant.
Why is President Trump being prosecuted when the Biden family is unscathed?
Obviously, that’s a rhetorical question. We all know this is a politically motivated prosecution, much like people in third-world countries with openly corrupt judicial systems incur when they run afoul of those in power.
Meanwhile, the numerous crimes of Hillary Clinton have gone largely untouched and suspected crimes aren’t deeply investigated. The email investigation showed gross negligence yet was closed without charges. Also, during her time as Secretary of State, she let people die in Benghazi and wants to “move on” from it. Accusations of pay-for-play went uninvestigated when political favors seemed to correlate with millions in speaking fees “earned” by her husband. Where is the ambitious Alvin Bragg when it comes to Clinton?
Then, of course, there’s the Biden family. They, too, seem to have profited greatly over the years that the current president has held public office, and they appear to be beyond the law. While Congress is investigating the family, so far, no charges have been laid, no impeachment has taken place, and they seem to be untouchable.
Last fall, Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley said that the FBI has “significant, impactful, voluminous evidence of potential criminality” in matters relating to the Biden family. Grassley wrote a public letter to the FBI, alleging the following:
“Notably, the Justice Department and FBI have not disputed the accuracy of the allegations that I have made public since May 31, 2022. The Justice Department’s and FBI’s continued silence on these matters is deafening and further erodes their credibility. Simply put, enough is enough – the Justice Department and FBI must come clean to Congress and the American people with respect to the steps they have taken, or failed to take, relating to the Hunter Biden investigation,” Grassley wrote in a letter to FBI and Justice Department leadership as well as the Delaware U.S. attorney.
In the letter, Grassley attached a contract, signed by Hunter and James Biden and three other business associates. The contract was part of an arrangement designed to funnel $5 million from the Chinese communist government-connected CEFC to Hunter and James Biden to compensate them for work done while Joe Biden was vice president, according to an FBI interview summary of Tony Bobulinski. But other records held by the FBI reveal frustration by the Bidens about CEFC’s payment being delayed. Records previously released by Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) show James and Hunter Biden ultimately profited from a $5 million payment from a company connected to CEFC via a separate arrangement.
Other records held by the FBI shed light on Hunter Biden’s business and financial relationship with Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky. These documents include specific details about conversations by non-government individuals relevant to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden. These documents also indicate that Joe Biden was aware of Hunter Biden’s business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them. It remains unclear whether the FBI took appropriate steps to follow up on this information or passed it to the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office.
During the election, Hunter Biden’s laptop provided the world with comprehensive evidence of multiple crimes. Any mention of the laptop resulted in banishment from social media and mockery as a conspiracy theorist. Yet here we are, with the ownership of the laptop being confirmed and still, no charges against anyone in the Biden camp.
