Rightside Way Monologue
Last night…..in a surprise move that caught everyone by surprise and yet no one
by surprise, Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden…..keep in mind that this is
the same Hunter Biden who profited off of his father’s name by guaranteeing
access to the office of the Vice President…..who lied on federal gun purchase
forms….who cheated on his taxes….who has appeared in a visual assault of our
senses in picture after weird picture that he actually took and then kept like a
memento of himself posing in his grippy underwear while doing crack with
hookers…..the same Hunter Biden who was kicked out of the Navy Reserve in
2014 for failing a drug test…..all of those issues represent federal crimes…..and
his daddy just stepped in and issued a pardon that is so sweeping in nature that it
covers a full decade and contemplates pardon for any crimes whether known or
unknown…..this is more than a sweetheart deal….this is just another example of
the public trust being trashed by an administration that has refused to hold anyone
accountable…..ever…..
I had a co-worker years ago who was a really neat lady,…..she had her first and
only child late in life….we were talking once at work and she told me that she did
not believe in spankings…..okay, I’m not a huge fan of them either. Spankings
should always be a last resort when disciplining a child in my opinion…..but to tell
a child that spankings don’t exist – well, what happens then?.....she came to work
one day and we had a good laugh about what had happened the day before at her
house…..she said that she and her four year old son were out in the yard working
in the flower beds when he picked up the hose and acted like he was going to spray
her…..she told him not to do it….but she could see in his eyes that he was
weighing out the whole forgiveness versus permission thing……she told him again
not to do it and to put the hose down…..and then he sprayed her up and down and
gave her a full soaking…..she said she was so mad! She took off after him, chasing
him around the yard, and the whole time he was yelling, “you don’t believe in
spankings!” with her yelling back, “I do now!”…..we got a good laugh out of that,
but the issue was not that her little guy was disobedient….the real issue was that he
had no fear of repercussions……he sprayed her with the hose because he had
weighed it out in his mind and did not see any concern for the aftermath…..in his
case Mom changed her mind!.....Hunter has apparently never had that…..his Dad,
Joe Biden, has rescued him at every turn….and it shows….but Joe Biden is not
known for holding people accountable….
think back to the debacle pullout from Afghanistan…..it was chaos, 13 US
servicemembers and 170 Afghan civilians died, thousands of Americans were left
behind, Hundreds of billions of dollars in military equipment went to the Taliban
who had been our sworn enemy for 20 years…..who resigned? Did any General
lose their job? Did we see the resignations or firings of any Secretary, Deputy
Secretary, Under Secretary, anyone at all?.....the answer is no…….what about the
Southern Border? Has there been a more definitive breakdown of social order and
national security?......millions have streamed across the border largely
unfettered…..whole communities have been devastated and resources
drained…..worse yet, we see a constant series of stories about crime perpetrated on
Americans by illegal migrants….deaths that should not occur but for the ability of
criminals to enter our country freely…..Has anyone in the Department of
Homeland Security been fired? Has Secretary Mayorkas even acknowledged the
failure of his department of Homeland Security to actually secure the
homeland?......again, the answer is no……
One more…..how about the economy?.....during the past 3 years we have endured
the highest inflation in decades…..interest rates are stymieing the housing
market…..gas prices are twice what they were when Biden took office…..which
economic advisor to the White House has any fear of losing their job?.....has there
been any accountability….if your job is to advise the President on economic affairs
and the affairs you advise are an economic disaster then maybe you’re operating
outside of your gifts and need to get another job…..but they won’t…..there is no
fear or concern about such accountability measures in a Biden White House…..
The same President who won’t fire anyone for doing a truly horrible job is the
same President who unsurprisingly just announced that all of Hunter Biden’s
woes….his addictions, his crimes, his dereliction of military duty, all of it…..were
somehow political prosecutions…..the same Joe Biden who in June of this year
announced to the world sanctimoniously that “no one is above the law” in direct
reference to his political opponent Donald Trump…..Trump, the man who has
faced more lawfare, more political hit jobs, more politically based prosecutions
than perhaps any man in history…..Joe Biden said with disdain for the half of
Americans who believed that Trump was guilty of everything that “no one is above
the law” and guaranteed that he would never pardon his own son…..he lied, and
pardoned his son….because apparently no one is above the law unless they run in
Joe Biden’s sphere of influence……
It has long been known that President’s have pardon power….they do….a
President can commute a sentence and set people free, and a President can absolve
a record and issue a pardon that makes it seem as if the person never committed a
wrong…..After the Civil War Abraham Lincoln pardoned his own sister-in-law for
supporting the Confederacy since her husband had been a Confederate General
who killed in battle……Bill Clinton pardoned his own brother, but only after he
had served his full ten year sentence for drug charges…..Donald Trump pardoned
his son-in-law’s father for tax evasion, ten years after he had completed his 2 year
prison term…..Hunter Biden’s pardon is not the same…..not at all…..
In fact, we should keep in mind that Hunter Biden’s pardon may be one of the most
sweeping presidential pardons ever seen…..even when President Nixon resigned
from office in disgrace due to the watergate scandal President Gerald Ford issued a
full and complete pardon of Nixon to avoid sending a US President to jail…..the
Nixon pardon was for a period of several years in his presidency…..Hunter Biden
has been pardoned for a full decade for crimes of which he already pled guilty, and
crimes which we may not every know about now…..let that sink in, that the drug
addict tax evading Navy reject got a better pardon than former President Richard
Nixon……
The American people have been abused in this process…..the public trust in the
office of the President has been used and abused by the Biden family in such a way
that it appears that they will all go on to live on the beach in Delaware and laugh
together while they shop in Nantucket…..and there will be a book deal…..and the
liberal media will say “aw shucks” he’s just a daddy who loves his
boy……meanwhile, good honest hard-working salt-of-the-earth folks at the
grassroots level see a crackhead who sold out his own country for a buck and got
kicked out of the navy for pissing hot on a drug test and now he somehow makes
fingerpainting art turn profitable…..and no one is issuing a pardon for Daniel
Penny in New York….Kyle Rittenhouse stood trial like a thug while he was
knowingly innocent…..BLM can burn down city blocks with impunity and have
streets named after them like their rioting was some landmark moment in human
rights…..transgender mass murderers can shoot up a Nashville school and have
their manifesto hidden from the public eye…..and while we are at it, what’s the
latest on the multiple attempts to assassinate President Trump?.....Am I mad,
yes….I am…..we all should be….and I’m disgusted…..
The American people want some accountability……not from the lower
ranks….we just want someone to be the stand-up guy, or girl, and take ownership
of the failures that we have been living through…..we were given no
accountability on Afghanistan, or the border, or the economy…..but this past
weekend we learned that accountability is on hold until January 20 th of next
year….there is no accountability in DC right now…..accountability is a byword, an
archaic symbol of something that common folk expect but elitists
avoid…..forgiveness does not mean there is no accountability…..you can love
someone and still hold their feet to the fire……
Without the promise of penalty there can never be accountability…….
And that’s a wrap for the Rightside Way
