Those Claiming Trump Beat Biden are a Rogue's Gallery


Today there was news about a guy who lives near me. His name is Doug Jensen. He was one the the first to break into the Capitol on Jan. 6 so his picture went all over the world. That he was so stupid he did not wear a disguise meant he was hauled in shortly after the attack.

He promised that if he could be under home confinement instead of jail awaiting his trial he would not use the internet. The judge did not notice he has a considerable rap sheet of low level criminal activity and was not known as an honest upright citizen. He broke his promise about the internet and is going back to jail.

The Viking Horn guy today pleaded guilty to his charges. He is a self appointed "shaman" but no one knows what group he ministers to. His tune has changed after no time in jail.

But wait! There's more. Some lawyers have lost their license to practice law. Rudy claims to be broke though he was once considered worth around $20 million. 

And they there is Trump's favorite, Mr. Pillow. He sold one of his airplanes to pay legal fees. The list goes on. 

It's hard to understand how people trained in many fields including law could not understand the difference between being in politics and being in court. In politics one can lie and do quite well. In court it is a different ball game. The Rogue's Gallery thought apparently they could swamp the court with unfounded claims a convince the public there was wrong doing even though they found none.

What I learned being around courts is that the court system has seen everything before. It has seen gazillions of wise guys trying to do what Trump is trying to do, fill the court with activity and make the false impression of wrong doing. Judges live in court and do not look kindly on those trying to take advantage of them. That's why the Rogue's Gallery was unsuccessful. 

It should have thought threw how judges would see it scheme. Since the Rogue's Gallery did not do this some may be ruined for life.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make som

The Religious Capitol Invaders May Yet Win

Image
So much about U.S. society and religion can be learned from the Civil War and what happened afterwards. After its defeat, the South started a myth about the unethical soldiers from the North. The South fought for principles of God and states rights. The North did not. It was the South, this propaganda told the country, that had the high moral ground.  The Capitol invaders, encouraged by Trump, swallowed the myth that Biden's election was stolen. Thus, they think they held and still hold the high moral ground. This was reinforced by the cross and prayers during the invasion. Even with Trump is gone, we will see political opportunists like Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley stroking crowds and feeding the same lies as Trump. Like "the South will rise again" these gullible followers will talk of victory over the unclean. After the Civil War the South rallied around the phrase, Lost Cause. For decades, and maybe to this day, there are ceremonies remembering fallen martyrs, Re

Father Frank Pavone, the Ultimate Crook

Image
Recently, the Vatican defrocked Frank Pavone. His diehard fans are outraged. This is because he cleverly manipulated his fans and the press all the while living well from donations and, apparently, abusing some women. By making abortion the "sin" of the century, and himself the main opposition to this one sin, he himself could get away with any sin he pleased.  As the link points out, Pavone was the perfect priest for the Trump era. Trump is so self-important laws have no role in his life. He felt accountable to no one. Women were there to be had. Pavone and Trump are interchangeable.  Pavone was very successful raising money. In his mind, abortion was so important in Catholic beliefs and he was so important in anti-abortion the money he raised opposing it was his to do with what he liked. The Catholic Church, the brand name he used to raise this money, thought the money belonged to it. When he gave the Vatican the bird, it gave him walking papers. With polls showing the majo
