Corruption Heaped Up . . . Time Is Ripe Again To Cast Off Rule Of Kings, Breathe Freely

By DEXTER DUGGAN

PHOENIX — Founding Fr. Patrick Henry’s anti-royalist exhortation to “Give me liberty or give me death!” doesn’t sound in tune with our betrayed current times, which seek to give us surcease from sacrifice and personal worry, to give us equity and transgenderism, to force us into little locked-down urban apartments hemmed in by mass transit.
The welfare state is being succeeded by the “Shut up and obey” state. Which is the next step down the line of whatever government thinks it can do to you once you’re dependent on it, then prostrate before it.
Back in the days when kings ruled, they inherited the title regardless of abilities. Well, in that sense we’re in the days when the time is ripe again to cast off kings. Because if there’s anyone without ability who rules us, it’s sleepy, impaired Joe Biden.
Why, he even looks to have the immorality that old kings had who felt free to abuse their office, and its subjects, just because they had the power. His latest episode of abusing women and minors — unless Biden engages in yet another outrage before you read this — was with a little girl in her mother’s arms in a crowd at the Helsinki airport on July 13.
It was a jaw-dropping spectacle — which seems an appropriate description because Biden’s jaws were working energetically as he pressed his lips on the upset girl’s clothed upper body. Then he tried to kiss her head, but she pulled away from the old loon, so Biden moved on down the line of people.
If Biden’s was discourteous behavior, it’s what the 80-year-old has grown used to dispensing. Although this time he didn’t fall asleep while he worked his mouth on his victim.
However, when Biden sat down with the president of Israel, Isaac Herzog, in the Oval Office a few days later, on July 18, Biden’s head once again was nodding and he mangled some words as he tried to read off notes in his lap about basic facts.
This simply is a rude way to receive world leaders. If the declining Biden can’t do better, he certainly has no business plotting to be inaugurated to a second four-year presidential term not beginning until January 2025.
Officials like Herzog may try to put the best face on being received with such discourtesy, but it’s sure to leave an unfavorable impression about this being the most that the U.S. troubles to offer when a highly placed politician travels thousands of miles for a top-level meeting.
Meanwhile, a video posted on July 18 at Twitter showed Biden getting off Marine One, the presidential helicopter, as a young Marine salutes. Biden doesn’t return the salute but just lifts his right hand up a little above belt level and then walks off while the Marine is snapped to attention toward Biden’s departing back.
The Marine receives no more respect than the president of Israel. What a waste.
And to think that Establishment power brokers have chosen to throw their weight into supporting this sorry inept figure while they chase the far healthier Donald Trump all up and down the East Coast.
Although the bribe-taking Biden crime family is an open sore, the power brokers keep trying to find more courthouses they can put the Republican Trump in and try to fake more legal accusations against him for prison time that would remove Trump from campaign competition against their own pathetic Democrat.
As a sort of justice, Biden already is in a prison of his own. It’s his aging, fragile body.
In the meantime, one could ponder the stark difference between Biden and the Republican speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, of California. A video showed McCarthy doing down-to-earth political work at the Capitol, greeting a stream of individuals who came up to him just to shake hands and take photos.
As a way of making personal contact, McCarthy usually started off by asking where they were from. One might think that a top official like McCarthy could find other things to do, but it seemed fitting that the leader of “the People’s House” greeted lines of those people.
A separate video showed McCarthy taking extended questioning by reporters out in the open at the Capitol. Not a bit like befuddled Biden smirking while his staffers shoo reporters out of the Oval Office.
An enlightening development that occurred with the advent of Trump’s presidency was the beginning of a full realization of how corrupt the U.S. government at many levels had become, at war with the American people. The laser focus on destroying Trump was one piece of evidence of the rot. But the corruption was widespread.
The draft of the momentous Supreme Court Dobbs abortion opinion was revealed in an unprecedented leak in 2022, apparently to try to undercut or reverse it, but no one ever was named as the guilty party, although only a limited number of insiders could have spilled the secret
Similarly, the following year, cocaine was discovered in the highly security-conscious White House, but however the criminal drug got there supposedly was a mystery.
On the other hand, the government had no problem laying its hands on some mild-mannered granny in Kansas who had been in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021, if prosecutors thought they could toss her in solitary confinement for years to investigate as a possible terrorist.
That’s the way the game is played. Leaks are leaked, secrets are hushed, the left-wing dominant media avert their gaze or cast a spotlight, and the ball is advanced down the field.
The Capital establishment is used to having people reflexively applaud whatever it wants. On July 14 Kamala Harris gave a speech in Baltimore in which one of her sentences recommended reducing “population” for the good of the environment. The audience gave her a round of applause.
This would be nothing new. Environmental extremists for decades have advocated that very thing. And the Biden administration is full of such extremists.
On the other hand, Harris is hardly a capable speaker, and it’s possible, as the White House claimed, that she meant to say reduce “pollution” but didn’t correct her embarrassing error which provided a reminder of how radical Biden’s eco-warriors are. Until, in this age of social media, strong criticism began to spread so quickly that the administration was on the spot.
Anyway, maybe the big takeaway in this instance was that the vice president openly spoke of reducing population — which conservatives understood to mean, “That’s us!” — and her audience at a university applauded.

A Sickening Veto

Meanwhile, corruption also continued here in Arizona. On July 19 the Arizona Republican Party sent out an email blast about left-wing Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs having cast as one of her many vetoes a rejection of a Republican bill that would have forbidden the filming of inappropriate acts in K-12 schools.
“Arizona teachers were caught posting XXX videos from inside their classrooms on ‘adult websites’,” the GOP email said. “One teacher was performing explicit acts on school desks — desks paid for by Arizona taxpayers!…
“Let’s be clear about one thing: their goal is to CORRUPT your children inside of the classroom so they become ‘tolerant’ of the deviant liberal agenda,” the email said.
Earlier, the Daily Caller blog posted an article about this, reporting: “The bill was introduced after two teachers were fired for making sexually explicit videos for their Only Fans accounts on school grounds. . . .
“Republican State Sen. Jake Hoffman, who sponsored the bill, called Hobbs’ veto ‘sickening’,” the Daily Caller said on June 6. “‘These should be safe spaces for our kids to learn in, not venues for the sexually explicit adult-entertainment industry’.”

Judge’s Behavior Is Revealing

In a separate situation, a county judge’s behavior might be thought to demonstrate how the establishment prevails.
As Wanderer readers know, Arizona Republican attorney general nominee Abe Hamadeh has fought for months to have a new trial over his very narrow alleged loss to Democrat left-wing extremist Kris Mayes last November — fewer than 300 votes out of more than 2.5 million cast.
On July 14 Mohave County Superior Court Judge Lee Jantzen, who reportedly has been censured and reprimanded for tardy decisions, finally announced he was denying Hamadeh’s motion for a new trial, but the judge said he would have to wait until noon the following Monday, July 17, to provide his reasons.
The Arizona Daily Independent posted that Jantzen missed his own deadline by 90 minutes on July 17, did not sign his ruling, and had not provided a signed order from December 23, when he dismissed Hamadeh’s challenge.
The Daily Independent said one attorney remarked to it, “How do you appeal the denial of a new trial when there is no official signed order that Mr. Hamadeh lost the original trial?”
Moreover, in his very first sentence on July 17, Jantzen misidentified the political race at issue as the secretary of state instead of attorney general.
In a July 18 article, The Arizona Sun Times reported: “Hamadeh wanted a new trial after his team discovered following the trial that up to 76,339 ‘undervotes’ were not counted in the election.
“Then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs withheld evidence of undervotes in Pinal County, which led to Kris Mayes’ lead shrinking to only 280 votes over Hamadeh, making it the closest statewide race in Arizona history,” the Sun Times said. “Hamadeh’s team wanted to investigate undervotes in all of Arizona’s counties.”
However, the judge “agreed with Hobbs withholding the evidence from Hamadeh until after the trial had concluded,” the article said. “Hobbs claimed that an election judge’s order prohibited her from releasing the information about the uncounted ballots, but the judge’s order only applied to county officials, not state election officials.”

Still Surprised

Conservative Republican political consultant Constantin Querard told The Wanderer on July 18: “Because Hamadeh was just asking for a fresh trial in light of all of the evidence that was withheld before the first trial, it seemed simple enough, and just, to order a fresh trial. So as cynical as we can all get about the judicial system, I was still surprised the judge got it wrong.
“The way he did it, with the delays, incomplete court documents, and all the rest, just paint a picture of incompetence that makes me grateful that Mohave County has judicial elections instead of mere appointments like we have in Maricopa and Pima Counties,” Querard said.
“I expect Hamadeh to prevail and get a new trial on appeal, but then that new trial goes back into this judge’s hands, so we could be in for quite a lengthy process by the time this is all done,” he said.
