"The four most expensive words in the English language are ‘This time it’s different.’” Sir John Templeton, Bank and Investment Manager

We used to drink the water that came out of the faucet. We mowed our own lawns, and didn’t pay for TV.
And if we did “good”, we were rewarded. If we didn’t, we had to pay the price. And we never really noticed when these things changed.
But things changed.
Metaphorically, these days we’re paying through the nose, and it’s about much more than money.
Our country is being gaslighted away, master-minded by people who are hopping mad, all the time. At the country. At capitalism. You name it.
There are the obvious ones like The Squad and Adam Schiff.
But there are others.
Current Attorney General Merrick Garland is mad because he didn’t become a Supreme. And he blames Trump, even though it was McConnell who blocked his nomination.
Empty suit former Attorney General Bill Barr, (always available for an anti-Trump interview), compared Trump to a “defiant 9-year-old” on Face the Nation, and called his defense in the documents case “wacky,” and “absurd.”
Chris Christie is mad because Trump didn’t hire him to be attorney general, and because someone snagged the last Boston cream.
Mitt Romney has been mad about everything, for so long, it’s hard to keep track of what’s putting his Mormon-RINO undies in a bundle. But it’s usually about Trump.
Pence and Pompeo are mad because they’re not Trump.
And now former Trump Chief of Staff-Marine-General Kelly is out there, claiming he was a great chief of staff. And blaming Trump when Trump said he wasn’t.
And he wasn’t.
Kicking a man when he’s down isn’t just for Democrats anymore.
“Sleazy” and “politics” have always been synonymous. But as Ronald Reagan observed, “Destroy a man’s reputation and you don’t have to talk about what he stands for.”
It’s the way politics work in the Era of Trump. But there’s something even more concerning. Lady Justice has taken off her blindfold.
What happened yesterday with Hunter Biden was a travesty and a tragedy.
After years of Hunter’s criminal behavior, he was given a pass by the Department of Justice. No felony charges for drugging and carrying. Two million dollars in back taxes. All charges reduced to misdemeanors. Probation.
Because of who he is.
The way Joe's son conducts himself is so similar to “President” Saddam Hussein’s son Uday, it's eerie.
Except, of course, Uday was a sadist and psychopath, known for rape and torture. Nonetherless, both were bad, bad boys, but were treated like princes.
As time goes on, there's an alarming similarity between Presidents Hussein and Xi's way of being president, and Joe Biden's.
What we should have done from the get-go, was to use the Giuliani-Broken-Windows approach: Squash the little things before they become bigger things.
We should have vetted Obama better. We should have reviewed his tax records. And Joe’s. If Joe is a crook, Obama is driving the getaway car.
After he was elected, Obama made no secret of what he planned.
Obama warned we’d better start learning Spanish, instead of insisting immigrants learn English.
He said his failed-green-company-anti-carbon initiative would mean skyrocketing electric prices.
And after he spied on the Trump campaign, left Americans swinging in the breeze in Benghazi, and had the IRS persecute conservatives, we should have known what Joe would do.
We should have known.
In office, Joe became as wealthy as Midas, and so did Obama. But no one ever connects those dots. Tax records would have told us a lot. They still can.
But yesterday, justice in America took a big hit.
We the People are hanging on the ropes. As Trump always says, they're really coming for us. He just got in the way.
So, as things stand, too bad for you, but there is no one in the government to help.
They’re all too angry at Trump.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
