From My Heart
President Biden went out the door last Monday in full demonstration of why the Democrats lost the November election. Giving pre-emptive pardons to his family, Dr. Fauci, the J-6 Congressional Committee, and General Milley were the ultimate display of the corruption of this Administration. In the last several years these people have gone on record (hundreds of times) for denying any involvement in any illegal activity. So, my question is, if none of them did anything illegal, why do they need pardons?
Personally, I was furious last Monday morning when I heard this news! I have contended for years that every effort to stop Trump from the day he walked down the escalator in Trump Tower was nothing but lies, deception, and fabrication. From the Steele dossier that Hillary and the Democrat National Committee bought and paid for, to Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi’s “Russia, Russia, Russia” lies, to the first impeachment and then the second, to Fauci lying about the Covid virus origination, to Hunter’s laptop, to 10% to the “Big Guy”, and on and on and on! Lie after lie after lie!
The folks taking the Presidential pardon will now face a completely different set of issues. By accepting the pardon, these folks will lose their Fifth Amendment rights. They can be called before Congress to testify, and all the evidence can be shown, and if they lie, deceive, or refuse to answer - they can be held in contempt of Congress. These people cannot pay the price of jail time, but they will be exposed, their crimes will be on full display for the entire nation to see, and they will be branded as the criminals they are in the eyes of the country.
Four years ago, the media was asking the question, “Will Donald Trump pardon himself and his family?” That was discussed for weeks in the fake media before Trump’s term was finished. When one of them asked Trump if he would pardon his children and himself, he said, “For what? None of us have done anything for which we would need a pardon!” And trial after trial for the last four years, two fake impeachments, Alvin Bragg, Fannie Willis, people being paid to make false testimony, the January 6th lies, Pelosi lies, Schiff lies, Liz Chaney lies, and erasing and destroying documents - none of their lies and fake news ever stuck to President Trump. The evil these people have done is incomprehensible, and I sure hope it finally gets exposed and people are held to account.
We need to pray for our country and for the leadership that is being put in place. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD…” (Psm. 33:12). The Progressive Liberals are going to fight President Trump and his “America First” agenda with everything they have! We need to pray for the hand of God to protect and preserve our great nation.
Another thing that I just cannot wrap my head around is how every Democrat in the House and the Senate was complicit in this attempt to destroy Trump and cover for Biden. It appears that none of them had the character, the will, or the intestinal fortitude to stand for truth and reject the lies. But I suppose that was the only way this whole effort could have stayed together without exposure. A few Democrats retired from Congress because they could not go along with the corruption (like Joe Manchin) but think of it - not one Democrat stood against the machine and dared to expose the truth of what was going on in the country - not even ONE! That is so sad in my opinion!
We will see what happens! I am praying for the Lord to bless and keep President Trump safe! Have a great day and may the Lord bless our great nation!
