Our government is coming to resemble a year-round Roman festival of Saturnalia—a holiday in which everything was turned upside-down—for fun. Slaves giving orders to masters, everybody making whoopee in the streets: it was the way they let off steam.
Ours is just corruption.
Think of the plethora of Biden family scandals. To mention just one of many, there was Hunter Biden, son of the vice president who is now, uh, president, occupying a seat on a Ukrainian gas board with a salary of $50,000 a month—for what? He doesn’t speak Ukrainian and doesn’t know beans about energy policy. And he’s still out there, free as a bird, enriched by ill-gotten gains, with his old man in the White House. He can even sell his alleged artwork… to people seeking favors from Papa Biden.
How is this even remotely tolerable? How is this anything but corrupt? Oh, there’ll be a Congressional investigation, for what it’s worth—not much. As long as “the big guy” gets his ten percent—right? And we’re supposed to be cool with it.
Then there’s the governor of California, Noisome Newsom. With his state getting battered by blizzards (of all things!), what does he do? Well, of course! He takes off for Baja to catch some rays. Some deaths have been caused by these freakish blizzards, but the boss needed some down-time on the beach.
This guy missed his calling. He should’ve been President For Life of some Third World hell-hole. He has the right attitude for it.
And closer to home, we’ve got our ever-lovin’ school boards. Once upon a time, when the poor plebs actually owned the schools they paid for, local boards of education were a grass-roots enterprise. That changed in the Seventies, big-time: the local boards’ autonomy was gobbled up by state and federal departments of education. The local boards have become Deep State camp followers, grooming kids for sex and sic’ing the FBI on parents who don’t like it. A lot of these jidrools have been voted out of office since they did this, but it remains to be seen whether their replacements can stop the bleeding. If America dies, it’ll be our “education” establishment that did the most to kill our republic. Teachers’ unions and teachers’ colleges have been the baddest of the bad guys.
We are governed by modern lords of misrule. Every day, for them, is Saturnalia. Is there any member of this administration who is not a fool, a freak, or a grifter? They had to fire one of them for going to the airport and stealing women’s luggage. Betcha they don’t teach that in any civics class. If you can even find a civics class.
It’s a dangerous world out there, with Chicoms and Russkies and Islamic weirdos and, maybe worst of the lot, the World Economic Forum, all scrambling to take down America so they can parasitize the rest of the human race. Is it too much to ask the American government not to help them do it?
We used to have recourse to elections: we could throw the bums out. But our elections aren’t what they used to be, are they? Now the Democrat candidate can hide out in his cellar, emerging now and then to spout a few more gaffes and hold rallies with, oh, dozens of people in attendance—and still wind up with 80 million votes.
President Trump says we have to learn to beat them at their own game: ballot harvesting, mail-in voting, and all the other tricks. Maybe he’s right. The risk is that with both parties making a havoc of the elections, the game will never be straight again. But what else can we do? Someday we’ll have an election in which twice as many votes are cast as there are voters to cast them.
Rome’s republic reached that point.
And died.
