A political earthquake occurred last night, my friends.
And although I know it isn't right to gloat over another's misfortune, to enjoy the Schadenfreude moments that occasionally come in life, in this case, I must admit, I gloat.
As was written long ago (Proverbs 11:29):
He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the winds: and the fool shall serve the wise.
That is being fulfilled today as the coup d'état against President Trump suffers a severe body blow.
So: Gloat, gloat, gloat!
To quote from the above link:
"...Massive ‘splodey heads (beyond election night level) happening throughout leftist punditry and political analysts...". See as an example of that: Excerpt:
MSNBC’s top Russiagate conspiracy theorist Rachel Maddow burst into tears on Friday — after the past two years of her reporting was revealed to be nonsense.
Chris Matthews was "apoplectic,
inconsolable, and irate at the notion the Mueller team will not offer
any further indictments in hopes of criminal charges concerning Russian
collusion."
At least one Dem congressman, "Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) stated that Special Counsel Robert Mueller will be subpoenaed by Congress."
Yeah, Democrats, let's now guillotine Mueller! /sarc
So, as this is a political essay and not a religious one, allow me to savor the moment. To cry: Haha, Hahaha! Crying on air! Apoplectic! Get Mueller!
They deserve a gloat or two. So, indeed, I gloat. :D
Caveat politicus magnus: I hasten to write that while we do not yet know exactly what the Mueller Report actually says, we apparently do know no other indictments are forthcoming.
That's the most interesting news. And it's the most brutal news to the
"Narrative makers" who tried to sell this false story for the past two
years. And of course the very fact that this report was shoved under the
door at the EOD (end of business day) on a Friday afternoon! That alone
strongly suggests there's just "no there there" as Bill Clinton
famously said. Otherwise they'd have released it with much fanfare
first-thing Monday morning.
And
notice at the initial link above how CNN's Laura Jarret (Valerie's
lovely daughter) quickly follows on Wolf Blitzer's query by lining up
other federal investigators / prosecutors who could do their own
investigations into Trump. Yep, they "never say die!" Keep the torch
burning, Kiddo.
Reflections 1
Reflect
on all the hue and cry for Trump to fire Mueller that the Democrats
talked up the last two years. They kept expecting the "unruly,
impulsive, loose cannon" Trump to "do a Nixon" and fire Mueller. Trump
was stupid, after all, a buffoon. Trump, the ogre! Trump was stupid and
they were smart. Trump was "set up" to do just what they thought he'd do
but...but...but...
...He eluded that bait.
Patience is a virtue.
The
pain they spread around. And look at all the indictments they inflicted
on "friends of Trump" for the past two years. Especially egregious is
the way they treated General Michael Flynn. And Paul Manafort got
arrested, tried and convicted for the same crimes Clinton friend Tony
Podesta (and his brother) did with impunity! Hillary herself is running
(er, stumbling) free whereas anyone else who tried what she did with the
emails and the "bathroom server" would be in jail. (Actually, she might yet wear the orange jump suit.) It goes on and on.
Historical Reflections: Ways to remove a president
✔All of this was just the
latest in a long, long Democrat Party pattern of Removing Republican
Presidents. (For a larger picture of what they're up to generally, read
Richard Fernandez.)
Permit me a review:
- "There are no coincidences." Obi-wan Kenobi
- Notice the patterns. In 1861, the Democrats refused to continence the election of the first Republican president ever elected, in November 1860, and to protest his election and in effect negate it, they seceded from the Union. When that president, none other than Abraham Lincoln, was re-elected in November 1864 after defeating the traitors in open war, he found himself dead by April of the next year.
- Then 100 years later, the Democrats refused to continence the re-election of someone they absolutely L.O.A.T.H.E.D, "Tricky Dick" Nixon in 1972, and had him out by August 1974 for doing something with private contractors that LBJ used the FBI itself for, i.e. spying on the opposing political campaign (LBJ also used the IRS, etc., as political weapons, just as Obama had against the Tea Party).
- The two-tiered Justice system is: LBJ could do X, Y, and Z, and get off Scot-free; a Republican tries that, he's run outta town. They tried that same trick with Reagan via Iran-Contra, too, if you recall. With Reagan, curiously enough, they hated him so bad there was (coincidentally, if coincidence does exist) BOTH an assassination attempt not long after he took office, and then a removal attempt in his second term.
- They're trying it yet again! LBJ used the FBI to spy on his opposition, and then Hillary stole emails, hid 'em in a bathroom server, then deletes 'em? No crime to see here; move on, folks. Hang that Genr'l Flynn, though and hang Manafort -- and wink at Podesta. Same old same old.
✔Impeachment of Presidents Fails
Of
course, the Republicans under Newt Gingrich foolishly impeached and
tried to remove Bill "The Rapist" Clinton for lying under oath about a
sexual affair, and that absurd attempt, like the earlier impeachment of
Andrew Johnson 100 years previously, failed miserably, and just showed the "official" way of removing a president just. doesn't. work.
However, the old tried and true methods (Lincoln's assassination, McKinley's) worked, and were used a number of times.
- I need hardly mention when Garfield was assassinated, July, 1881 (president only four months, and shot by a "disappointed office seeker") nearly 20 years after Lincoln; or
- William McKinley, assassinated in September, 1901 (almost exactly 20 years after Garfield), and as with the case of Lincoln, killed after his re-election (1900). Not part of the pattern was when someone tried to shoot Theodore Roosevelt, McKinley's vice president and successor, this time in October, of 1912, when "T.R." was running on the Bull Moose ticket. But you just couldn't kill T.R.; he had to politically kill himself in 1912, as it were, and then died in his sleep in 1919. (He was to be nominated for president on the Republican ticket the next year. With T.R. dead, the bigshot Republicans were deadlocked, and they had to settle on that famous fornicator from Ohio, Warren G. Harding, who in his turn died – from his exertions? – and left us the best president of the 20th century, Calvin Coolidge. Had Coolidge run in 1928, he would have handled the 1929 Stock Market crash quite differently than Herbert Hoover did, and we might never have had a Great Depression or the Nazi takeover of Germany. The fate of 100s of millions literally were decided by the single choice of one man.)
- The assassin in McKinley's case, and in T.R.'s attempted assassination, were foreigners (well, Mckinley's assassin was actually born in Michigan of immigrant parents, but was a European-style anarchist), and in the latter case, the assassin, Bavarian John Flammang Schrank, was a saloon keeper, much like Jack Ruby, the nightclub owner to assassinated the assassin of Jack Kennedy.
- Curious, these parallels, aren't they?
- Of course, Ronald Reagan was shot, too. And also, again, very early in his term, (March 30, 1981; Reagan had taken the oath on January 20 of the same year).
- Now it is -- so far as I know -- supposed to be universally accepted that Reagan's would-be assassin was a nut (he was "in love" with the Lesbian Jodie Foster!), but then, conveniently, they're all nuts, from John Wilkes Booth, an actor from a very successful acting family, through all the rest to Kennedy's assassin and JPII's Turkish would-be assassination --
- But of course, you'd have to get idiots to do the deed, otherwise everyone would realize what's going on, and come after you. The all-time champion example of that scenario is what happened to the non-nuts Brutus and Cassius (of the lean and hungry look) who took out Caesar! Can't do that again! By Jupiter! Get some Greek or Gaulish slave to do it. Or have the Praetorian Guard to do it in the basement, as was done with Caligula.
The Lone Democrat Assassinated
Jack Kennedy, of course, was assassinated in November 1963, the only Democrat president to be so removed from office, and -- whatever else can be said of Jack, almost all of it negative and all of that true
-- he was a true Cold Warrior and his assassination was no doubt a KGB
hit job, as was the attempted assassination of John Paul II in May of
1981. (They're bookends, those assassinations, set -- yet again! --
almost 20 years apart.) In Kennedy's case, however, the American media
and the Lyndon Johnson administration wanted no part of a "hot" Cold War
developing, so they swept all that under the rug, just to crucify the
entire country with their idiotic Vietnam debacle. Johnson has to be one
of the top three worst presidents in the country's history. (The others
being the Democrats James "The Gay Blade" Buchanan, our first
homosexual prez, whose failure to take strong and immediate action against the Secessionists forced Lincoln to war, and then either Jimmuh Carter or Pharaoh Obama, as you
prefer.)
In any event, there's a pattern in
the Democrats rejecting a Republican president: Lincoln, McKinley, and
then the "political assassination" of Richard Nixon (to which Nixon
himself provided the bullets, of course – Nixon should have known a Republican just can't get away with what a Democrat does!). All three of those men were
popular presidents, and Trump's approval rating is trending at about 50
percent: this Mueller news will jolt it upwards of another ten percent
or so; BUT TAKE CAREFUL NOTE: at least Trump – right now, I mean as of
Friday morning yesterday – is twice or more than twice as popular in his country as are Macron, Merkel, or May (sounds like a Vaudeville troupe) in theirs. (And all three of the Ms are childless, unlike the fecund Trump.)
- Let's pray there's not a third (fourth?) time. The fourth time was what happened to Trump, and has apparently (we must carefully note: apparently) ended. Yet the pattern is there. Since the "Nixon Method" against Trump seems to have failed, Trump had better have the most excellent Secret Service protection! And if he is indeed re-elected in 2020, he'd better keep in mind these previous examples.
Reflection: Quo vadis nunc?
Of
course, now that Mueller's report has been filed, Trump is free to
release all sorts of hidden, "classified" documents such as the FISA
warrants and Congressional investigation transcripts, redacted phone
conversations, the lot. Had he done so earlier, the Democrats would have cried foul and "Obstruction of Justice." Now they can't.
Documents galore. You name it. We can expect he will. Bill Barr, I
think even the most suspicious pundits aver, is the reason Mueller
fired that scoundrel Andrew Weissmann and wrapped up his report as fast
as he did. (It's as if the very pages burned Mueller's fingers!)
- If Barr proceeds to investigate this whole mess, just imagine the caterwauling of the Dems! Music, pure dulcet music, to this old Kingon's ears. :D

The MSM didn't shoot itself in the foot, it shot itself in the head. Roger L. Simon explains.
