For the sake of preventing a mean tweeter and political neophyte with a big mouth from running for office in 2024, the Democrats have subverted and perverted our entire justice system. They have charged former President Donald Trump with serious felonies for the flimsiest of reasons, ones that were previously investigated and failed to result in charges.

Considering the massive, pervasive and endemic corruption destroying our nation (and emanating from Washington), Mr. Trump actually has a cleaner record than the majority of politicians there. It is for this reason that he is so reviled by those who seek to maintain the status quo as America collapses. He makes them look bad and is not afraid to expose their folly. 

Yet while the Democrats focus on Mr. Trump, our nation is burning from toxic chemical fires and derailed trains, unchecked and spiraling violence on our streets, dangerous racial division, censorship in the mainstream media and Big Tech, election fraud, a banking crisis, a wide-open border and the very real possibility of World War III with Russia. Persecuting Mr. Trump is the distraction the Democrats choose to focus on so they don’t have to solve real problems that threaten our nation and the entire world.   



I hope this never-ending, divisive and catastrophically expensive Democratic-led witch hunt against Mr. Trump ends in the Supreme Court with our justices throwing this bogus, paper-tiger case out of court and restoring the primacy of the rule of law. Fairness must triumph over selective and arbitrary “justice” against political enemies, or we are no better than any Third World banana republic.

And I hope the viciously corrupt Biden regime and its deep-state cronies are permanently thrown out of Washington once and for all come 2024.
