Did
you happen to view the Attorney General being assailed by lunatics in the House
Judiciary Committee Tuesday? It kind of looked like a scene from the French
Revolution acted out by a road company touring Alice in Wonderland. Mr. Barr stolidly endured their
orchestrated calumnies as though he had larger matters on his mind. Do not
suppose it will end there, or end well for this shabby claque of mutts and
harpies.
There
is the rectified essence of your Democratic Party circa the awful year 2020,
spreading its poisons into every organ of society like a fungal overgrowth,
making the nation crazy as the old economy of cheeseburgers and happy motoring
disintegrates under the spell of a mystifying plague and the peoples’ zombie
indifference turns to epic woe and fury.
If the forlorn homunculus Chairman
Nadler accomplished anything, it was to ratchet up Mr. Barr’s determination to
round up and indict the figures behind the years-long campaign of sedition
waged against the public interest and decency. Sometime before Halloween, an awful wrath is going to befall Barack
Obama’s wingmen and handmaidens, and it will be a supremely sobering moment.
It’s
the elected Democrats of Oregon — Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and Governor Kate
Brown — who have turned the Federal Courthouse there into a new Alamo by
ordering their police to stand down. And isn’t it rather strange that they’ve
gotten The New York Times and
CNN rooting against the tiny crew of federal officers bravely defending the
place? In a sane country, these politicians would be indicted as accessories to
riot and insurrection. And the same goes for elected Democrats in Seattle,
Minneapolis, Chicago, Richmond and other cities where the Antifa freaks are
allowed to run wild.
Meanwhile,
there was an odor of desperation at the funeral for Rep. John Lewis in
Washington as Mr. Obama inveighed against the use of tear gas on “peaceful
demonstrators” — the big lie of the season. Who has not seen the many videos of
these masked freaks launching mortars and smashing things in the streets? Such
a naked hustle suggests that the former president is using the mobs to mau-mau
the country while he maneuvers to keep a legion of his former lieutenants out
of jail. The screws are turning, as
Attorney General Barr’s unflappable demeanor implied during the Mad Hatter’s
Tea Party on Tuesday.
The
election itself is another front in this undeclared civil war. How
exactly did the Democratic Party come to settle on a candidate with no credible
capacity to serve as president? Who is Joe Biden fronting for, and who do they
think they’re fooling? How can he possibly deliver an acceptance speech three
weeks from now without giving away the game? That will be something to see —
but I doubt we will actually see it. If the Dems don’t switch him out, there is
no way Mr. Biden can survive the three-month homestretch of an election
campaign. He can barely make it through a ten-minute appearance in front of
twenty-three hand-picked partisans in a TV studio. Life imitates art, as Oscar
Wilde tartly observed. The Manchurian candidate is truly here.
Mr.
Barr is quite correct when he avers that an election by mail-in ballots is an
invitation to fraud. The parallel campaign by
the news media to ramp up extra hysteria over the corona virus is designed to
ensure that scam. Keeping kids out of school is another angle on it, to plant a
narrative that parents can’t possibly leave the house to go to a polling
station. Wait for it. The result would be an election that can’t be resolved
even by the Supreme Court. What will happen then?
I’ll tell you how it goes: Donald Trump
will stand aside and yield to the military, to some general or committee of
generals, and the country will be under martial law until the election is
sorted out or re-run. And by then, the election may be the least of our
problems, with tens of millions out-of-work, out-of-business, penniless,
homeless, and hungry. That’s when they’ll truly be selling postcards of the
hanging, as the old song goes. Then comes America’s Bonaparte moment. Yes,
things can get that weird.
