Needless to say, I don’t like the indictment of Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents. Oh, I get it. The very idea that the middle class should nominate for president a guy that actually proposes to rule in the interest of the middle class! The Horror!

But, really, the indictment of a candidate for president is not so much a misuse of political power but an admission of weakness. If you can’t head off a populist nationalist candidate at the pass, dear liberal friends, and cruise to glorious victory with a fine moderate candidate that unites all good Americans on a platform to Make Things Better, then you have a problem.

Oh yeah. That’s what you said Joe Biden represented: moderate Joe Biden against extremist Donald Trump. And then you folks pushed an extreme Left agenda down America’s throat, from student debt giveaways to climate change hysteria and the straight-up racism of DEI and reparations.

And I don’t like it.

But still, Get Trump is just politics as usual. Whether it’s Get Trump Classified Docs, or Get Clinton with Monica, or Get Reagan with Iran-Contra, or Get Nixon with Watergate, or back in the day, Get the Turbulent Priest, it’s all politics as usual. And everyone lines up on Their Side.

Moderate politics? A Joe Biden with real cojones would reform Social Security and Medicare, before they run out of money. There’s a book out on Modernizing Medicare right now. Good luck with that. You think we seniors would vote for politicians that cut our free stuff? Look at the current Biden student loan forgiveness presently up before the U.S. Supreme Court: “Most College Students Would Feel Angry If SCOTUS Blocks Student Loan Forgiveness.” If you would rather not reform Social Security and Medicare, dear liberals, you are nothing but political Bartlebys.

So Trump or not, there’s no chance of doing anything serious, probably not even when the government is broke and inflation is 20 percent. Unless it is all done with smoke and mirrors. And I don’t like it.

Talking about smoke and mirrors let’s talk about Science. That’s where the educated class holds all the cards. Because Science has been bought and paid for by the rulers ever since the Germans invented the research university.

Example: the recent smoke from Canadian wildfires that descended on east coast cities. According to AOC, an ordinary politician, the reason is climate change. AOC will easily find an expert to agree with her, and so if you like your gas stove and your gas-powered automobile you can go and pound sand. And I don’t like it.

It’s not just that our liberal friends just pull rank on us — being more educated than deplorables. They also use state censorship to shut us up. That’s what World War COVID taught us. The U.S. government had censorship agencies in place ready to censor scientists that didn’t toe the official line. CISA, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, already had a page on Misinformation, Disinformation, and Malinformation and their bureaucratic definitions, and the Twitter Files told us how our government got social media to censor dissenting scientists. Guess what: the Brits have their COVID Disinformation Unit that made “hourly contact” with social media tech firms.
