Believe it or not, but Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, actually addresses what is happening in our country right now.
In the fairy tale, the Wicked Queen was a jealous, angry, meanie.
Every morning, she would gaze into her Magic Mirror, and ask, “Who is the fairest of them all?” and the Mirror always said it was she.
Until Trump…I mean Snow White, came along.
It’s a sure bet that Joe Biden does the same thing every morning, (before he shows up at work, at about 11 o’clock), and demands, “Who is the fairest president of them all, man?”
But he already knows the answer. And the Wicked Queen, Snow’s stepmother, did, too.
It wasn’t enough for her to be queen. She wanted Snow out of the way.
Since Wicked didn’t have the Department of Justice to bring numerous, frivolous lawsuits against Snow, the only thing she could do was to kill her nemesis.
First she transformed herself into a non-threatening old woman, using black magic, then went to the house of the Seven Dwarfs.
Since the Kingdom didn’t have a Federal Bureau of Investigation for a raid, she went there solo.
She approached Snow, and sold her a corset, with laces so tight that Snow would suffocate. I think that was on January 6.
When that didn’t work, she sold Snow a poisoned comb. But again, no luck.
It was a poisoned apple that did the trick. I think she bought it from her grocer, Jack Smith.
Wicked believed that Snow White’s destruction was the only way she could win.
You could tell that she wasn’t very nice. She even mocked the dwarfs for being short, saying there was no “diversity” among them.
But, once again, she was wrong.
She didn’t know, didn’t bother to Google it, and the Kingdom’s media didn’t report it, but it turned out the dwarfs were more than they appeared. They were ethereal beings, who were there to protect Snow during her darkest hour.
You could tell Wicked wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box.
In the Disney movie, Doc, Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful and Sneezy were cute, but in reality the dwarfs represented Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Light, Shadow and Magic, spirits that enhanced Snow’s powers.
But Wicked didn’t know about anything beautiful and pure.
Ultimately Snow was rescued, and Wicked did not have her way. She did not receive the heart of the beautiful Snow White as she had instructed.
And she didn’t win.
Today nothing’s changed from barbaric times. Jealousy, hatred, anger, evil, they still exist. And strong convictions always bring about strong consequences.
During the Revolutionary War, citizens who didn’t support the king, like the signers of the Declaration of Independence, could expect to be imprisoned and have all their worldly goods seized. But they confronted a despotic king anyway.
Yesterday Special Counsel Jack Smith, tremulous voice and all, announced Trump’s indictment by a D.C. grand jury, for charges related to the January 6 Capitol Riots.
U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, who worked at Boies, Schiller & Flexner at the same time Hunter Biden worked for the firm as a lobbyist, will oversee the case.
Frivolous? Yes. Unconstitutional? Probably. But it will do the trick for the time being to keep Trump out of the 2024 Presidential race.
But will it?
In response to his latest indictment, Trump said he “will run for president from prison”, in an orange jumpsuit, if convicted on the criminal charges he faces.
That’s the guy Trump sees in the mirror when he asks, “Who is the fairest president of them all?”
And he does it while under indictiment, while Joe is hiding out from Devon Archer's testimony, on the beach in Rehoboth.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
