Sunday Sermon

 



I won't preach, done that already, but here's Conrad Black via Zerohedge:


That the Democrats and their lock-step allies in the national media succeeded in putting across the colossal smear that former President Donald Trump is a supporter of violence and a threat to the constitutional system could be interpreted as a long step toward the national suicide that Abraham Lincoln foresaw is the only way in which the American project could perish.

Former CIA Director John Brennan called Trump a traitor; former National Intelligence Director James Clapper declared as a matter of settled fact that Trump was a Russian intelligence asset. The corruption of the FBI and the intelligence agencies in the dissemination of the infamous Steele dossier funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign as authentic intelligence revealing Trump as completely unsuited to public office and the profound dishonesty of former FBI Director James Comey in white-washing Clinton’s alleged destruction of subpoenaed evidence and his recourse to surveillance granted in response to false affidavits while attempting to destroy the Trump presidency have escaped legal retribution by the somnambulant Durham investigation, and there will be no retribution for any of it.

Yet, Trump is the tainted protagonist. The Russian collusion hoax was the most monstrous defamation ever inflicted on a U.S. president. The spurious impeachment of him, for an innocuous telephone call to the president of Ukraine about the commercial activities of the Biden family in his country—now notorious but probably a matter of political suppression of the normal working of American justice—was in the same category of misuse of the political system for the lowest and most destructive partisan ends.

It’s obvious that the potentially millions of harvested ballots that couldn’t be verified in the 2020 presidential election could easily have provided the 50,000 vote switchover needed in Pennsylvania and two other states to flip that election to Trump in the Electoral College. The dishonesty of the universal media stone wall that 2020 was a pristine presidential election is compounded by the judiciary’s abdication of its coequal role in government and reassertion of its refusal to consider overturning the apparent presidential election result.

Democratic strategists deserve a near-perfect score for tactical judgment...

 

I'd say Black's got a point and you can read the whole thing here if you like. He concludes:


The only way to complete Trump’s work and root out and politically exterminate those who have corrupted the intelligence and justice arms of the federal government and have dragooned the contemptible but still insidiously influential national political media in full metal jacket Trump-hate, is for Trump to identify and support the successor whom he favors as Republican presidential candidate.

He shouldn’t go back to his 2016 playbook and insult all the other prominent Republicans. He has exchanged enough fire with his Republican enemies, contemptible though many of them are, and did well to win the first round and come so close in the second. The third round last week was an acute disappointment, and the Republican Party doesn’t need, and the American public doesn’t wish for, an internecine war on the scale that would rage if Trump sought another presidential nomination. But another candidate plausibly pledged to the enactment of the Trump program and supported by Trump but not stigmatized by him, could lead the desperately needed national political purgation.

 

Black's awesome "full metal jacket Trump-hate" line aside, do you think he's right or wrong? Should 45 run for 47 or not? Serious question. 

In the meanwhile, the most popular president in the history of history, turns 80. Just think, a million votes for every year of our beloved leader's life, and a little more.

Cheers,

LSP

  1. We are on the horns of more than one dilemma. We need someone who will go for the jugular like Trump, but who would that be? My biggest fear is that our side will be split between Trump and DeSantis. Here's a sorta related article--

  2. President Trump is a jerk, but he is a competent jerk as I've posted as a comment on other blogs. His time has, IMO, passed. His legacy will be the number of competent constitutional centered judges he got appointed and his blocking of the despicable Garland from the Supreme Court.

    He certainly can be an "influence" and hopefully he will accept that role. Unlikely, but that would be his best contribution at this point.

  3. No. Too much baggage. He played a major role. He got screwed.
    Time to let the rest of the bench play.

  9. As I see it the only way to avoid violence is to PEACEFULLY break up the United States of America. Let the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and LA form a new confederacy of City States. All cities with populations over 100,000 shall be free to join this union.

    The States on the East and West coast will also join this union. The rest, the FREE states of America will form a new country, a free country, a republic of laws.

    Since with modern technology the concentration of power in one location is no longer necessary. I propose that the Capital of the FREE states of America be placed in a couple different mid-sized or rural areas in the midwest.

    The United States of America is dead. We cannot go back. Time to move forward.

    I shall write a longer post on this.

  10. It seems, LL, as though the laptop's getting some traction, but perhaps I'm optimistic?

  11. Infidel, I've long wagered on Balkanization. It's a testament, I think, to the good spirit of the people that it hasn't happened. Still, bets are on and I'll not say you're wrong.

    Look forward to that post.

  12. I agree with Infidel, time to break the US monster up, separate the crazies from the insane and move on, starting with Texas.
