TRUMP CONVICTED
Donald J. Trump is a man who entered every political contest claiming it to be “rigged” long before any votes were cast.
This is called “inoculation” -- that is, an “excuse” put in place by someone expecting to LOSE, and preemptively setting himself up as having been ‘cheated.’ He did/does this consistently, and consistently without ANY PROOF of his claim.
As it turns out, this claim of “rigging” was a gigantic PROJECTION: it was Trump himself who was working feverishly behind the scenes to rig elections in his favor, by deceiving the voters. Fool me once?
Trump’s conviction in this New York case adjudicates HIM as someone desperately trying to prevent voters from getting information ABOUT HIM that he determined might prevent him from getting votes from people concerned about such things as morality, integrity, and character.
Put another way, TRUMP knows he HAS no morality, integrity, or character, but he didn’t want the VOTERS to know this … at least, he was willing to construct an elaborate conspiracy among “supporters” … such as the National Enquirer’s publisher David Pecker … to hide many of his behaviors and actions.
Pecker testified under oath that hiding Trump’s many despicable behaviors with women was not the only service the Enquirer provided to Trump in order to deceive voters. Pecker ALSO vowed to publish “puff pieces” to bolster Trump’s image, and to run any and all NEGATIVE stories … most completely untrue … against Trump’s political opponents.
Some of the many BANNER headlines the Enquirer ran on behalf of Trump in hopes of helping him win the 2016 election: WHAT HILLARY’S HIDING!
TWO SECRET STROKES!
HILLARY: 6 MONTHS TO LIVE!
HILLARY’S LUNG CANCER BATTLE!
HILLARY FAILS SECRET FBI LIE DETECTOR!
CORRUPT! RACIST!
CRIMINAL!
The Mueller report documented that the Russians (Putin) interfered in the election of 2016, so Trump’s very elevation to the office of the presidency was a result of “rigging.” Mueller even indicted Russian operatives who hacked Hillary Clinton campaign computers, then released much of the information they stole (through ‘Wikileaks’).
Luckily (or “as planned”), those accused Russian criminals were not made available to our court system, so we did not get a verdict in those cases to hold them accountable.
The Constitution under Article II, Section 4, states, the President “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” This grave responsibility is invested in the Chief Executive of our nation, our President, because executing our LAWS is fundamental to maintaining our Constitution.
Needless to say, a failure to take ANY care that Laws be executed, by our Chief Executive, is an Un-Constitutional action. With his conviction by a jury of his peers, Trump has show he went to great lengths to take Care that the Laws be consistently BROKEN, in an attempt to RIG the system in his favor, and to attain POWER through crime and deception.
I wonder if NOW voters for Trump will realize they have been consistently deceived by a candidate (and ex-President) who illegally RIGGED his elections? A quote credited to Mark Twain goes, “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they’ve been fooled.”
To admit being conned is to admit you were naïve or gullible or even a damn fool. Nobody wants to admit that.
So, do you keep doubling down, hoping at some point the CON will be erased? Or do you own up?
Morality, integrity, character. You’ve either got it or you don’t

PROPAGANDA, PURE AND SIMPLE
Joseph Goebbels, Ph.D., was the brilliant but misguided mastermind of the disinformation that passed for actual news in Nazi Germany in the 1930’s and until the war ended his life in 1945.
Single-handedly he filtered every aspect of current events in those times in order to fix in the public mind the false, fascist ideology that his government preached. That ideology was utterly discredited with the Nazi surrender.
His methodology is alive and thriving today in the United States but with a different message: slant the news, edit the facts, and twist the truth in TV, newspapers, social media, and college campuses.
Tune in to almost any channel, read almost any newspaper, listen to network newscasters, and hear/see/read the same message: Israel is conducting genocide on the poor Palestinian populace. Daily pics of refugee camps (often Hamas safe houses), see blown-up civilian bodies of women and children, hospitals destroyed, etc.
They look horrific. But, never do we see footage of the butchered civilians slaughtered by Hamas when they invaded Israel last October, deliberately murdering scores of civilians and taking hostages, many of whom have since died in Hamas captivity.
Hamas has done this, not the innocent Palestinians, but both now occupy the city of Rafah. The total conquest of the terrorists can only be accomplished by aggressive war.
War, even a just war, has collateral damage with civilians.
The alternative for Israelis is surrender to “world public opinion” and give the terrorists a future opportunity to attack them again (which they have publicly sworn to do!).
Sensibly, suicidal surrender is not a viable alternative to this war.
Last Friday, the International Court of Justice (the ultimate oxymoron) of the United Nations (a seriously anti-American body) “ordered” Israel to halt military operations in Gaza. . . . fat chance!
The U.S.A funds almost 25% of the total costs to maintain this cancer called United Nations!
The B.S. we are fed daily instead of factual news is the responsibility of the ultra-left, radical, anti-American poison propaganda spewed by media, academe, socialists, woke idiots, vacuous social media gurus, and willfully blind useful idiots who serve . . . God knows what?
Again, I pray for the victory of Israeli arms and for our own endangered country. God bless America!
