There are things that are sometimes too fantastic or implausible for us to believe.
During World War II, several individuals succeeded in escaping German concentration camps to give detailed descriptions of what was going on there. Many in the West could not believe stories of industrial-scale murder, slaves working for German companies and ruthlessness never described in human affairs. Maybe some of the reluctance to believe had to do with the Jews: who wants to help them? But some of it was incredulousness: trains bringing half-dead people who are gassed and burned into oblivion? Allied soldiers who liberated the camps could not believe what they saw: the dead bodies, the pencil-thin barely alive inmates, the crematoria. It was beyond human comprehension. Eisenhower came with his top generals to see and demanded that the state of the camp be recorded for posterity. I knew a professor whose father liberated one of the camps. He said that his father never discussed what he saw there.
The mass murder of Jews in southern Israel by Hamas brought back memories of the Holocaust not only based on numbers killed but also with the departure from what humans can comprehend. Entire families burned to death. There were mass rapes and grotesque murders. People like first responders or those who had to deal with the dead oftentimes broke down or needed to take breaks in order to remain sane. A few committed suicide, not being able to live with the horrors they saw. We as humans have the ability to comprehend a wide range of phenomena. Over time, we add as “accepted” the surprises like the mass murder of the Holocaust or planes flying into tall towers. While yesterday that was beyond comprehension, now we’ve got it in our life lexicon for the future and plan accordingly.
Revelations of malfeasance in Washington do not approach in any way the horrors of the camps or the terror of Hamas’ attack. I have no intention to put them on the same scale. Still, when one hears of the activities of our former leaders and their associates, there is a similar feeling of what we hear being beyond belief. For example:
Not only did James Comey unilaterally close the case of Hillary Clinton mismanaging official emails and potentially exposing sensitive material to America’s adversaries, no less than three FBI field offices were investigating the Clinton Foundation for potential malfeasance with regards to payments in exchange to access to the then secretary of state. Sally Yates, No. 2 at the Obama Department of Justice, simply told the offices to “shut it down”, which they promptly did. Clinton destroyed over 30,000 emails under Congressional subpoena with no legal action. Who else could get the FBI or DOJ off of his tail so easily?

We learn almost every day from Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi how officials from Barack Obama to Hilary Clinton and the entire intelligence leadership worked to invent a story so as to destroy the Trump presidency. They created intelligence, they planted lies in the press, they leaked classified material to favored reporters, they impeached, they accused, they investigated—and all of it was a lie, and they knew as much. Again, this does not compare to Zyklon B dropping from the ceiling, but in terms of American politics, we have never seen an outgoing president and his top associates working in concert not only to harm the incoming president, but simply to poke their collective finger in the eyes of the tens of millions who voted for him. The names Comey, Clapper, Clinton, McCabe, Strzok, and Brennan will be remembered along with Benedict Arnold and John Wilkes Booth. The worst we had ever heard prior to 2016 involved Clinton people removing the “W” from White House computer keyboards prior to George W. Bush entering office. There is quite a difference between minor vandalism and outright treason. And if we’re talking treason, let’s not forget General Mark Milley’s offer to the Chinese to tip them off should Donald Trump plan to attack America’s No. 1 military threat.
Now let’s move over to the Biden family. With more information coming out about the Clintons and their money laundering Clinton Foundation, they may compete with Joe and Hunter for the Nobel Prize for Corruption. Millions of dollars were vacuumed into the Biden coffers due to Joe being the vice president of the United States. Countries that are nominally unfriendly to the U.S. like Russia and China were clients, and access to the vice president was sold by Hunter in order to enrich the Biden clan. The forgotten laptop was real and the dirty-dealing of the Biden family was widespread and disgusting. How much damage was done to the U.S. and her interests so that Joe Biden could cash some checks for his family?
DOGE showed us that endless billions were moved via NGOs for the purpose of supporting lefty programs and interests. At the end of last week, it was reported that USAID gave out $6 billion to NGOs involved in moving illegal aliens into the U.S. American tax money supplied by We the People was funneled via USAID for programs and projects that worked against U.S. interests. Victoria Nuland crowed that she dropped $5 billion via USAID to effect regime change in Ukraine via rent-a-riot diplomacy. Does she want to take responsibility for the million dead and wounded in the Russia-Ukraine war? Oh, and the Biden Department of Energy gave out $93 billion in loans to favored companies in the last three months of the previous administration.
There are many bad things that simply don’t surprise us, like common crime from murder to theft. We are so accustomed to such events that they do not move us beyond a general disgust or disappointment. But when one looks at the politics for the past 20 years, his mouth is left agape. January 6th was both encouraged by Feds in the crowd and intentionally allowed to grow by willful refusal to bring National Guard support in a timely manner. Nancy Pelosi threw out the two Republican members of the J6 committee who could have asked difficult questions or sought damaging evidence of intentional malfeasance. She added her poodles Cheney and Kinzinger who never differed with the Democrats on the committee. Everything that the committee told us was a lie. Cheney apparently coached one of the witnesses, and when they finished—like Clinton—they simply destroyed all of the information in their possession.
When one sees how people in Washington have self-enriched, advanced anti-American programs, and worked against the will of tens of millions of kosher American voters, he stands in awe. Watergate was a nickel-and-dime job compared to Obama and his Three Stooges of intelligence cooking up a story about Trump and the Russians. How wealthy have members of Congress become through insider trading and how much money combined did the Clintons and Bidens pocket in pay-to-play schemes meant to cash in on their governmental service? Pete Hegseth and Dan Bongino have taken haircuts to serve in the Trump administration; Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden saw their positions in the Obama administration as the key for Fort Knox.
Imagine being a senior executive at a very big company. Your daughter’s wedding is approaching, so you simply wire $11 million of corporate cash to your personal account in order to take care of expenses. Let’s ignore the illegality and possibility of arrest. Think of the chutzpah to believe that you deserve the money. Imagine the mentality of “I am owed!” in order to do such an act. The DOJ needs to put the miscreants of the past two decades behind bars. There can be no progress towards a better America without their paying for their dastardly behavior.
