You probably saw on Wednesday that Bill Clinton failed to appear before the House Oversight Committee, which had lots of questions for him about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Hillary Clinton was due to appear before the committee Thursday, and it was fairly obvious she was going to refuse the appearance as well.
As a result, contempt of Congress proceedings will commence next week.
Everybody knows why the Clintons are hiding from the committee. There are no good answers they can provide to a couple of basic and unavoidable questions.
One regarding the purpose of Epstein’s 17 White House visits in the eight years the Clintons occupied the White House.
The other regarding the 27 trips Bill Clinton reportedly took on Epstein’s jet, including to the celebrity pimp and blackmailer’s private “pedophile island” in the Caribbean, where rich and powerful sleazebags were plied with underage girls.
The Clintons are making a very weak effort at deflecting from the painfully obvious implication that Bill was the leading avatar of Epstein’s sleazeball clientele. Given his shocking history as a serial sexual predator protected by power and position from proper redress by victims like Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Willey, there are virtually no Americans who believe he’s an innocent bystander on the periphery of the Epstein scandal. Still, the Clintons are attempting to virtue-signal their subpoena-dodging with a pompous and verbose statement.
In response to the growing pressure, Bill and Hillary Clinton posted a joint statement to their personal X accounts, captioned: “This is not about Right or Left, it’s about Right and Wrong.” Comments were disabled on both posts.
The Clintons open their statement with a broad condemnation of recent government actions, writing: “This past year has seen our Government engage in unprecedented acts, including against our own citizens.” Among those actions, they write, “People have been seized by masked federal agents from their homes, their workplaces, and the streets of their communities.”
They remarked that “every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences. For us, now is that time.” While acknowledging their positions afford them protections, they added: “We are not blind. Every day we see the country we have dedicated our lives to improving take step after step after step backwards.”
Criticizing the committee’s focus, the former president and first lady stated: “You have done nothing with your oversight capacity to force the Department of Justice to follow the law and release all its Epstein files, including any material regarding us as we have publicly called for.”
Anticipating the likelihood of contempt charges, the Clintons declared: “This is not the way out of America’s ills, and we will forcefully defend ourselves.” They continued, “Indeed, bringing the Republicans’ cruel agenda to a standstill while you work harder to pass a contempt charge against us than you have done on your investigation this past year would be our contribution to fighting the madness.”
They asserted that other witnesses were treated differently: “You subpoenaed eight people in addition to us. You dismissed seven of those eight without any of them saying a single word to you. You made no attempt to force them to appear.”
They argued that their subpoenas are “legally invalid” and said they have provided “the same or more than seven of the other eight individuals you subpoenaed regarding the handling of the Epstein investigations and prosecutions,” which they suggested may explain why the committee has “not publicly released their written statements.”
“You will say it is not our decision to make,” the Clintons make clear their stance: “But we have made it. Now you have to make yours.”
ICE officers are wearing masks, in order to avoid doxxing and keep their families safe, as they raid cartel thugs’ hideouts. And because of this protective measure a serial statutory rapist Democrats put into the White House doesn’t have to face the music for his Epstein connections amid a congressional investigation?
The subject of an investigation is not in a position to be a particularly compelling critic of how that investigation is conducted. Everyone understands this, whether it’s convenient to admit it or not.
Something else everyone understands is the Left in this country, like the Clintons, has little or no legitimacy remaining.
They’re in the streets because they’re being mobilized by dark-money overlords to do so. But why?
Not because there is injustice afoot. For one thing, injustice has always been afoot. And even during the Obama and Biden presidencies, ICE was deporting illegal aliens. The volume of the deportations has grown, to be sure — but the practice of forced deportations of people who don’t belong here is an old one. And it is not an injustice. It’s law enforcement.
So why are these haughty harridans blocking roads and blowing whistles to prevent ICE from doing their jobs?
It isn’t complicated. It’s exceedingly simple.
In 2030, America is going to have a census.
Given how population has shifted in the United States, blue states are set to lose a number of electoral votes and congressional seats while red states are set to gain.
If the current trends hold, future presidential elections could…

Angry lesbians and organized grievance-mongers aren’t attempting vehicular homicide of ICE officers like Johnathan Ross in red states. ICE deportations in red states are generally going off with scant few hitches. Generally speaking, local law enforcement is cooperating with them and the deportations are accelerating as ICE staffs up with thousands of new recruits.
But in blue states it’s happening and the cops are protecting the protesters rather than the federal officers doing their jobs.
Remember that better than two in three of the people being deported by ICE and the Border Patrol are either criminals — meaning, not only did they break the law in coming here, but they’ve committed other crimes while here — or they’ve already been given a judicial deportation order. Generally speaking there is an awful lot of both.
The public is beginning to recognize there are well-funded leftist NGO’s training emotionally unstable women to “resist” ICE on behalf of cartel thugs and sex traffickers, identity thieves and welfare cheats. And attempting to virtue-signal as they’re doing so.
This, at a time when the pressure cooker triggered upon the revelations of looting of the federal treasury, aided and abetted by blue-state Democrat politicians, by immigrant communities emanating out of awful Third World countries, is on its highest setting.
It isn’t a very good time for haughtiness. Not if you’re the Clintons, not if you’re Gavin Newsom, not if you’re Tim Walz.
And with the Supreme Court just having to wade through oral arguments in a breathtakingly simple case surrounding a state law banning men from participating in women’s sports, the foundations of leftist legitimacy erode all the faster.
This will make your head hurt.
It’s more clear now than ever that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is not qualified to sit in her current seat. She has no freaking clue what in the hell she is talking about.

And this won’t help the situation.
The Left is not qualified for the power they crave.
To qualify for power, you must have a firm grasp on reality, without which you cannot wield that power in a productive or just way.
And the Left hates reality. They build whole institutions devoted to the denial and defeat of… https://t.co/qxcCshSVDj

There was a time, in a bygone era of American politics, when the active ingredient of the American Left wasn’t race communism but rather Kennedy/Moynihan liberalism and it could be argued without the refutation of experience that their ideas had merit.
Put differently, that liberalism had answers to the world’s problems.
Nonviolent resistance could overcome brute power. Righteous protest could overcome racism and bigotry. Social programs could alleviate poverty.
It could be argued, though never conclusively, that the Left could lead the country into the sunlit uplands of enlightenment, shared prosperity, and harmony among men.
But the 1960s are over, and history has judged American liberalism… not favorably. That’s why the liberals are gone and it’s the naked communists who are the active ingredient on the Left. That these are wolves in sheep’s clothing is undeniable. The clothing can’t possibly fit. Queers for Palestine proves that.
Their arguments on behalf of Renee Good fell apart utterly on Wednesday when it came out that Ross suffered internal bleeding from the injuries Good caused him as she ran into him. That didn’t stop many of these people from openly accusing Ross and ICE of “faking it.”

One is tempted to line the naysayers up and let them take turns getting “grazed” by that Honda Pilot so they can share Agent Ross’ “lived experience” and judge his actions with some perspective. It’s doubtful there will be many takers.
Their arguments in favor of trans ideology disintegrated into a shambles at that Supreme Court hearing.
And their Epstein narrative is in ruins thanks to the Clintons and their inability to sacrifice them at the Trump The Pedophile altar.
Everything is a lie. The entire argument is discredited.
I’m reminded of Matthew 7:16-20:
“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thornbushes, nor figs from thistles. So every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.”
The bad trees are poisoning America, and it’s impossible to deny it any longer. The question is by what method the poison trees should be removed.
The American Left is no longer a political adversary. Those days passed when all of their policy arguments failed and they doubled down on them.
The virtue is gone, along with the good faith, and they’re still signaling it. They speak to us as enemies speak, and their fruits are poison. What alternatives are we offered but to act accordingly?
