Dear (your Senators and Representative),
The credibility of the Biden administration, and of the justice system as a whole, suffers severely when people like Hunter Biden receive what can only be described as obvious preferential treatment. Hunter Biden's gift of a slap on the wrist for the tax and gun charges is a slap in the face to all Americans. Virtually anyone else would be going to jail for tax and firearm felonies. Possessing a firearm as a drug addict and lying on the Form 4473 are both felonies. Hunter gets a pass? Is this setting a precedent so that everyone will get a pass? Joe Biden himself spearheaded enhanced penalties for these exact situations, and Hunter walks? Why should we citizens have any faith in our government? The credibility of the entire government system is diminished when things like this occur.
Thank you for your time,
(Your Name)

White Privilege...
If ever there were a perfect example of White Privilege, this is it.
If ever there were a perfect example of money, power, and influence determining the definition of Justice, and then effecting its outcome, this is it.
If ever there was justification to take to the streets in peaceful protest, this is it.
And it appears that there is no shame. And no one seems to be too upset.
Disgusting.
Peace

'ol Joe...
My uncle has a flag in his yard that says "Trump for Prison". It is the American flag, in black and white. My uncle is a POS. ;)
I hope that every "Republican, Conservative, Centrist" who voted for Biden "because Trump" is happy. They aren't saying much these days, not like they were before the election. Apparently they didn't realize that they could have voted for Jo Jorgenson, or left that circle blank.
I emailed my legislators today and mentioned to them that I am disappointed in them. I told them that they are beginning to act like I would expect Democrats to act. I don't know. I'm old.
Fuck Joe Biden.
Peace

Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Peace.
An opinion page from yesterday's Townhall. I think it is pretty good.
The Coup We Never Knew
Did someone or something seize control of the United States?
What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did President Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?
Since when did money not have to be paid back? Who insisted that the more dollars the federal government printed, the more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?
When did clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas become the equivalent of dirty coal? How did prized natural gas that had granted America's wishes of energy self-sufficiency, reduced pollution, and inexpensive electricity become almost overnight a pariah fuel whose extraction was a war against nature? Which lawmakers, which laws, and which votes of the people declared natural gas development and pipelines near criminal?
Was it not against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme Court justices, to picket and to intimidate their households in efforts to affect their rulings? How then with impunity did bullies surround the homes of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas - furious over a court decision on abortion? How could these mobs so easily throng our justices' homes, with placards declaring "Off with their d--s"?
Since when did Americans create a government Ministry of Truth? And on whose orders did the FBI contract private news organizations to censor stories it did not like and writers whom it feared?
How did we wake up one morning to new customs of impeaching a president over a phone call? Of the speaker of the House tearing up the State of the Union address on national television? Of barring congressional members from serving on their assigned congressional committees?
When did we assume the FBI had the right to subvert the campaign of a candidate it disliked? Was it legal suddenly for one presidential candidate to hire a foreign ex-spy to subvert the campaign of her rival?
Was some state or federal law passed that allowed biological males to compete in female sports? Did Congress enact such a law? Did the Supreme Court guarantee that biological male students could shower in gym locker rooms with biological women? Were women ever asked to redefine the very sports they had championed?
When did the government pass a law depriving Americans of their freedom during a pandemic? In America can health officials simply cancel rental contracts or declare loan payments in suspension? How could it become illegal for mom-and-pop stores to sell flowers or shoes during quarantine but not so for Walmart or Target?
Since when did the people decide that 70 percent of voters would not cast their ballots on Election Day? Was this revolutionary change the subject of a national debate, a heated congressional session, or the votes of dozens of state legislatures?
What happened to Election Night returns? Did the fact that Americans created more electronic ballots and computerized tallies make it take so much longer to tabulate the votes?
When did the nation abruptly decide that theft is not a crime, and assault is not a felony? How can thieves walk out with bags of stolen goods, without the wrath of angry shoppers, much less fear of the law?
Was there ever a national debate about the terrifying flight from Afghanistan? Who planned it and why?
What happened to the once-trusted FBI? Why almost overnight did its directors decide to mislead Congress, to deceive judges with concocted tales from fake dossiers and with doctored writs? Did Congress pass a law that our federal leaders in the FBI or CIA could lie with impunity under oath?
Who redefined our military and with whose consent? Who proclaimed that our chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff could call his Chinese Communist counterpart to warn him that America's president was supposedly unstable? Was it always true that retired generals routinely labeled their commander-in-chief as a near Nazi, a Mussolini, an adherent of the tools of Auschwitz?
Were Americans ever asked whether their universities could discriminate against their sons and daughters based on their race? How did it become physically dangerous to speak the truth on campus? Whose idea was it to reboot racial segregation and bias as "theme houses," "safe spaces," and "diversity"? How did that happen in America?
How did a virus cancel the Constitution? Did the lockdowns rob us of our sanity? Or was it the woke hysteria that ignited our collective madness?
We are beginning to wake up from a nightmare of a country we no longer recognize, and from a coup, we never knew.
