Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 6/4/2024 7:21:06 AM

The Obama/Biden/Soros cabal is nearing its fourth term running America, driving this once great nation into the ditch of communism and tyranny. Last week, America finally crossed the Rubicon from a nation of liberty and the rule of law to a banana republic thugocracy where the ruling party indicts, arrests, and imprisons its political opposition. The Rubicon is a boundary or limiting line. The expression is a few thousand years old, In 49 B.C., Julius Caesar led his army to the banks of the Rubicon, a small river that marked the boundary between Italy and Gaul.

Well, it gives an excellent, articulate summary of the mess we're in. But I don't see him giving any real solutions. "Choose wisely." Is that an implication we can vote our way out? I beg to differ.

We are at the Rubicon as a people in more ways than one. These payments were made one year after Trump was elected. If you believe they are a crime then you are an enemy of the American People. it is time to decide. There is no middle ground left.

These pull quotes from the article pretty well sum up the situation we have been in for the last several years-- "Our system is beyond corrupt. It’s a uniparty beholden to the donor class, not the American people. They spend our money and control our lives, thumbing their noses at the Constitution and rule of law." American citizens who work hard to provide for their families, play by thr rules, follow 'the law" and are the backbone of this folly of those elected officials who play their games ON U.S. are tired of being violated for the whims of a few in political positions. Now that we no longer have due process rights, that "Rubicon" has been crossed. Electing MORE of those persons who "say good things to get elected" and then walk away until the next election should be held to account, but it never seems to happen. Unless they resign for health reasons, resign or retire to cushy high-paying consultant jobs in private business, or get caught in a scandal or die in office, NOTHING SEEMS TO CHANGE.

Joondepth's article accurately assesses the symptoms of America's decline, but overlooks its root cause. That root cause is: America's collective abandonment of its Judeo-Christian moral foundations...you know, the moral absolutes and unalienable rights, given to every man by God, that underpin our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Until America (democrats and republicans) recovers its foundation moorings in those absolute truths (you know, for example, sin is always sin), it will continue its drift down the river of historical oblivion.

Rubicon terminology is the fashionable way of expressing the ultimate outrage, but so often used that it has fallen into the same category as gaslighting, paradigm, and existential threats, i.e., useless DC blubberage. What you will never hear is what anyone is going to do about these outrages. That is because the answer is nothing. Why? Because those now in power will be re-elected, as 95% of incumbrents are.

We "crossed the Rubicon" when Obama got elected. President Wilson pushed us into a depression, then Franklin D. Roosevelt pushed it further toward a socialist nation. Obama hit the jackpot and pushed the country further toward socialism. Obama is an admitted Muslim and that is primarily a socialist religion.

Joe Biden is currently shedding young and minority voters at breakneck speed, prompting concerned progressives to ponder the reason as to why this is happening. Biden has clearly been struggling with nonwhite voters, and that’s a huge problem for Democrats when you consider that four-in-ten Democrat voters are nonwhite. But while his lead has softened among black and Hispanic voters, it’s his bleeding young voters that has to be most distressing for Democrats. In swing states, which are the only states that matter in any presidential election, the vote tally in 2020 among voters under the age of 30 suggested a 23-point lead over Trump.

am really tired of hearing that Trump is a "threat to democracy." Democrats seem to be repeating this mantra endlessly. Actually, they are right, but you have to understand what they really mean. Let's make a distinction between two flavors of democracy: democracy: rule by the people “Democracy”: rule by Democrats, specifically by members of the Democratic party Trump is truly a threat to “Democracy.” When Democrats make this claim, they really mean that he is a threat to their ascendancy, but they want you to think that they mean that he is a threat to rule by the people.

WILMINGTON, Delaware — Yesterday, a 12-person jury was swiftly selected in the gun trial of Hunter Biden. Behind him sat First Lady Jill Biden in a show of solidarity. Seated next to her was Hunter's current wife, Melissa Cohen, and his half-sister, Ashley Biden, making the criminal proceedings feel like family court. An assembly of Secret Service agents surrounded the Biden family. Of the jury pool, many knew the Bidens in some way. It was like six degrees of separation: Delaware edition. One potential juror said he used to play squash with Beau Biden, Hunter's late brother, and competed in at least one tournament together.

When an elderly relative is dying and the inevitable finally arrives, it still hurts a great deal. From the beginning, I had no faith in the legal process that has convicted Donald Trump in New York. Taking into account the prosecutor, the charges, the venue, the biased judicial oversight, and the sui generis nature of the proceedings, it was pretty obvious the fix was in from the beginning. But his conviction is a depressing spectacle all the same. It felt like we woke up in a different country on Friday. Until the news arrived, I had not completely lost hope. After all, it was a jury trial.

Another criminal referral to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) soon may be made by members of the U.S. Congress to investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying under oath to Congress, which is a felony crime. Representative Jim Comer, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, soon may follow Senator Rand Paul in requesting that the DOJ to criminally investigate Fauci for lying under oath to Congress.

However, it continues to send the Left into cardiac arrest, especially those in CNN’s front office. The liberal media is doing a full-court press in selling the ‘Trump is a felon’ talking point. No one cares, especially those in the Republican Party who think this hush money trial in Manhattan, for which former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts, was a political witch hunt.

Donald Trump has been convicted by a jury in Manhattan. “I was convicted. I’m appealing!” Most of us have a TV legal drama perspective. I rise to shine light on this process so that we can properly understand how a guilty verdict was reached in a case where Donald Trump did nothing illegal, immoral, or fattening. A prosecution must satisfy conditions laid out in the Constitution, which is, should anyone forget, the highest law of the land. It specifies safeguards for the legal process. In the 5th Amendment, we find “No person… shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law…”
