The Biden regimes discussion of “preemptive” pardons for Tony Fauci, Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney is the Biden regime’s admission that these people have committed felonies in their efforts to destroy Donald Trump and that Fauci by lying about the safety and protection of the Covid “vaccine” is liable for mass murder and health damage to millions of people worldwide. He is also liable for funding illegal biowarfare research in both US and Chinese laboratories.
In effect, the preemptive pardons would be convictions that escape punishment.
Normally, a pardon from a president or governor comes after a conviction and often only after the sentence is served. Traditionally pardons have not been given in advance of indictment. In the case of Biden’s pardon of Hunter, the pardon was preemptive as it included a ten-year period and not just the gun and IRS convictions but also all the crimes, evidence for which the laptop provided, that the FBI failed to investigate.
What the discussion should be about is why is it more important to get Trump, while protecting Biden, than it is to obey the law? Once ideology enters politics, law no longer holds, because ideologues have agendas that are contrary to law and to the Constitution.There are many problems with Republicans, but Democrats have become an ideological party. Democrats are champions of open borders and the blurring of distinction between citizens and immigrant-invaders. They are champions of normalizing sexual perversions. They are champions of raising children independently of parental control. Democrats oppose the First, Second, and Fourteenth Amendments. Their ideology replaces free speech with indoctrination and controlled narratives. Their ideology violates the 14th Amendment by granting privileges to people of color, sexual perverts, and preferred genders. This is all said to be necessary to combat “white supremacy.” Pedophiles have been renamed “minor attracted persons.” Democrat ideology requires the exploiter–the racist whites– to be displaced from positions of influence and power and turned into second class persons.
This Democrat agenda is what the non-woke portion of the American people, not much more than half of the population, objected to and in protest elected Donald Trump President three times.
In the latter part of my various careers when I undertook to explain reality to Americans and interested foreigners, I have been non-partisan. I have done my best to hold accountable Republican administrations as well as Democrat administrations.
In my book, The Tyranny of Good Intentions, published 24 years ago, which Milton Friedman said was “A devastating indictment or our current system of justice,” I demonstrated that we were losing justice to the subservience of law to political agendas. In Alan Dershowitz’s review of my book, he wrote:
“The Tyranny of Good Intentions is a bold defense of our fundamental freedoms. It demonstrates that government oppression is not a right-left issue, but rather a universal evil that should be resisted by all free people. It [my book] demonstrates why conservatives and liberals who despise tyranny must unite against statists of both the right and the left who falsely believe that partisan ends justify depravations of liberty.”
It is very costly to go against both parties as it leaves one without support. My supporters are the rare independent thinkers. If they cease to support this website, it will cease to exist. The consequences extend beyond me into the existence of truth. There are not many voices. There is no money in telling the truth. There are immensely powerful lobbies serving ideological and economic interests that drown out the voices of truth.
It never pays to serve truth. I serve it because of the way I was raised. People are no longer raised that way. So truth faces extinction.
