Merrick Garland has dropped any pretext of the DOJ being anything other than the enforcement thugs of the Democrat party.  He is showing us the depth of his department’s corruption and daring us to do something about it.  His hubris may be shortsighted.

Have you ever heard the Friedrich Nietzsche aphorism, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”?  Does Donald Trump look like a dying man — or one invigorated by the prospect of combat?  Have Joe Biden and Merrick Garland thought this indictment through?  Have they not learned that when attacked, Donald Trump emerges stronger?  Was turning Donald Trump into a martyr for the cause of freedom and justice their best idea to keep him away from power?

I’ve come to believe that many of God’s blessings are not immediately recognized as the gifts they are.  I had a serious heart problem that went undiscovered until I caught COVID.  The disease didn’t cause the problem, but it did reveal it — before it killed me.  My unpleasant dance with the bat-flu was a blessing that saved my life.

Has the persecution of Donald Trump been a blessing in disguise?  Has the last seven years of misery focused Trump — and us — on the work that lies ahead?  Was it not a curse, but necessary preparation?

Prior to his removal from office, President Trump did not understand the depth of government corruption.  He would have been unlikely to take serious steps to address it in a second term — had that second term arrived without an intervening four years of tribulation.

Trump thought the FBI had a James Comey problem.  So he fired Comey and appointed Christopher Wray.  He didn’t see that the bureau’s culture had been corrupted over decades of poor leadership.  Its motto of fidelity, bravery, and integrity had become a bad joke.  Another swamp creature was not going to fix that.

Trump thought the CDC and NIH were staffed with professionals dedicated to the welfare of Americans.  He accepted their advice during the pandemic.  Now we’re learning that the COVID pandemic couldn’t have happened without the research funding provided by Anthony Fauci and the NIH.  Further, our “public servants” used emergency pandemic protocols to hide the truth from us.

Trump thought the military was staffed by nonpartisan patriots.  He began to see its problems when Rear Adm. Collin Green defied his commander in chief’s orders and Lt. Colonel Vindman triggered the first impeachment.  But Trump didn’t understand that the corruption extended to his choice for chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Mark Milley.  Milley initiated his own private foreign policy with the Chinese, without his president’s knowledge.  If trespassing on Capitol grounds is insurrection, collaborating with the enemy to undermine the president is surely treason.

I could continue with the IRS, CIA, HHS, DHS, and so on.  You get the idea.

After two bogus impeachments and multiple criminal prosecutions, Donald Trump understands the problem.  More importantly, so do we.  Our government has been turned against us.
