To begin with, let's determine what the term “Mafia” means.  Besides the usual Italian connection, it is defined as:  a closed group of people in a particular field having a controlling influence.

First we had organized crime, then we had the Italian Mafia, the Russian Mafia, today the Mexican drug cartels (Mafia), and then other assorted ethnic mafia's, but now we have a new player on the scene, the “Gay and Trans Mafia”, whose main goal in life is to promote the gay and trans agenda and lifestyles, and to destroy all who oppose it.  These are the same people, who for years, have pleaded for tolerance of their gay and trans lifestyle, but by their actions, over the past few years, they have become very intolerant of those who oppose their gay and trans agenda.

With the help of the liberal media, liberal academia, and left-wing politicians, the militant gay and trans population (the “Gay and Trans Mafia”), has raised its ugly head to punish all who oppose the gay and trans lifestyle choices.  They verbally harass people of faith who oppose gay marriage and biological males participating in women's sports, desecrate their symbols, they demand the firing of people who promote “traditional marriage” and traditional lifestyles, they mock people of faith with in your face tactics of disrespect, and they organize boycotts of businesses run by people who do not adhere to the “gay or trans orthodoxy” (which they tried to do, a few years ago to Chick-fil-A, which failed miserably).

In the lead up to the 2015 Supreme Court decision on whether to legalize gay marriage nationally, this harassment and the instituting of boycotts had already put some small businesses out of business.  How Un-American is that?

Of course, the people who generally believe in our time-honored traditions, have, for the most part, sat idly by while a lot of this behavior was happening without putting up a fight.  The method used by today's “Gay and Trans Mafia” is to single out and demonize certain individuals, groups, and businesses by using terms like bigot, white supremacist, and homophobic and transphobic, to bring shame upon them.  This tactic is similar to what the “race hustlers” (Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson) have used by calling their opponents (enemies in their eyes), “racists”.  The onslaught is very rapid and direct and the mainstream news media generally plays up these views and personal attacks as a means of shaming those “offenders” to comply with their demands.

Just recently, many politicians have been cowered into complying with the demands of the “Gay and Trans Mafia” because they wanted to get elected or re-elected to political office (both Obama and Hillary changed their views in 2008, for instance, on gay marriage for political reasons).  Even though the gay population is only about 3% and the trans population less than 1% of the total population, they have an enormous amount of money to divvy out (the gay and trans communities are some of the richest communities in the country), with which to buy influence in the media and among politicians.

The gay marriage decision by the Supreme Court has given the “Gay and Trans Mafia”, more incentive now to extend their crusade to tearing down organized religion, a major roadblock in getting the gay and trans agenda fully accepted in society.  I firmly believe that gay marriage was not the main thrust of the militant gays back then, it was just the foot in the door tactic of trying to get the general public (the majority straight population) to accept as normal their abnormal lifestyle.  Little by little they are now or have succeeded in their efforts.

The only chance we, non-gay or non-trans people, can fight back against this attack on our culture and traditional values, is by electing politicians who believe that many of our values and traditions should remain and not thrown aside by the actions of a vocal and militant few (I call that the “tyranny of the minority”).  We must elect a president in 2024, Donald Trump or another Republican candidate, who will not fold like a cheap camera, like former president, Barack Obama and our current President Joe Biden, have done on quite a few occasions. He/she must adhere to the Constitution, and fight to preserve our freedoms by not transforming our country into a Marxist/Socialist hellhole. Whoever wins the Democrat nomination, he/she must be defeated for the good of our democratic republic.

We must confront and fight the “Gay and Trans Mafia”, or the America as we once ‘knew’, will never exist for our children and grandchildren.  We can't afford to sit idly by anymore.

To listen to Joe Biden and the Democrats, you'd think everything in our country is working just fine, and even better than perceived.  All that “happy talk” just doesn't meet the smell test – in other words, “You can't polish horse manure”.

Biden and the Democrats must think everyone is stupid when they make those wild-eyed claims that everything is going perfectly as planned by the geniuses in the Biden Administration.  You might assume that most Wash. D.C. stores have run out of rose-colored glasses, as the people in the Biden Administration have bought up most of the supply.

You wonder with all the “happy talk” by Biden and the Democrats, that they live in a bubble.  Haven't they tried to fill up their gas tanks for less than $50 or $60 that's close to $4.00 per gallon (higher in some of the Western states)?  Haven't they tried to buy a steak at less than $15.00 per pound in their local food store? Haven't they noticed that their home and car insurance rates have risen 10% or higher than from the year before? Or, haven't they noticed that the crime rate in their communities has risen precipitously due to lax law enforcement policies mainly initiated by Biden and the Democrats? Biden and the Democrats say not to worry, everything is under control, just reelect us and you'll see the results.  If you believe that, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. 

Maybe our headline is misleading as Joe Biden has had plenty of action, but it is not action that is beneficial to our country.  Our debt, due to reckless spending by Biden and the Democrats, is now over $32 trillion and rising, and if not controlled will be a dagger into the heart of our economy.  To be fair, both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of over spending taxpayers money, but the Democrats more so than the Republicans.  The politicians, when running for office, always proclaim that they will rein in profligate spending, but once in office spend money like “drunken sailors” (my apologies to drunken sailors).  They all seem to brag to the public that they are “bringing home the bacon” to their community with taxpayers money (to me it sounds like they are “bribing” the voters with their own money). So far, it looks like that ploy has been working as about 90% of incumbents are reelected come election time.

In addition to the grandiose proclamations of economic success and stability by the Biden Administration, another area of major concern is in the area of foreign policy, as our president bumbles through one mistake after another.  The biggest fiasco so far was Biden's pullout from Afghanistan, where 13 brave military were killed by terrorists and scores of other military and civilians wounded and maimed by his decision, against most all military advice, by doing what he did. Besides, he foolishly left behind for use by the Taliban, billions of dollars of arms and military equipment, which since has shown up in other volatile parts of the world.  He continues to refer to this disaster as a success.  You wonder what planet he is living on?

So the “All Talk and No Action” Biden and the Democrats just can't sugarcoat their countless failures as something to be proud of.  He and they are going to have to answer to a teed off electorate come election time in 2024. Biden might not wind up as the Democrat candidate, but if it is he is or someone else, they must be sent to the scrap heap of history.  Our republic demands it.

The fallacious “Fake News” media takes great pride in claiming that Donald Trump had rolled up a total of over 30,000 lies during his term as president (who was responsible for checking all those supposed lies?) - but very seldom emphasize all the lies and misstatements that Joe Biden has told.  Could it be “Selective Outrage” by the Democrats and their flunky's in the media, and their hatred toward Trump?

It seems a week doesn't go by that Pinocchio Joe Biden doesn't tell a lie or embellish a fictitious event in his life, to try to ingratiate himself to the public.  His history of telling lies goes all the way back to the beginnings of his political career as senator, vice- president, and now president.  He seems to have a personal story to present to any audience that he speaking to at the time.

Just recently, Joe Biden, in talking to the ravaged people Maui Hawaii, he related the story of “Having his house burn down with his wife in it – she got out safely God willing”.  The Associated Press reports that the fire was a mini kitchen fire, without any damage visible from the outside.  According to the fire department it took only 20 minutes to put out the fire.  Was that equivalent to the horror faced by the residents of the Maui fire? 

In another case of Pinocchio Joe making up a story (a lie) is the fact that he had a chat with an Amtrak train conductor on his 7 years as Vice-President, about how miles he traveled from Wash. D.C. To his home in Wilmington, Delaware, but the guy retired 15 years before Joe became Vice-President.  He must've been able to converse with the dead?  He also has claimed he was offered a job by an Idaho lumber company, but the company had no record of that.  In addition, that he said he used to drive a 18-wheeler, which never happened. After the 2015 horrendous murder spree by a deranged individual at the “Tree of Life” synagogue, Biden claimed to have spoken to the rabbi, when the synagogue says he's never been there. Are all these illusions and delusions by an ego driven self aggrandizing self-centered person? 

He seems to have a personal story that relates to any audience he is speaking to in hopes of purveying empathy to the group, whether it's real or just a fantasy.

In another bizarre claim, he has brought up the case of the death of his son, Beau, who he claims died in Iraq, but Beau's death wasn't combat related, it was caused by brain cancer.  He even told that made up story in front of Gold Star families. No empathy there.

He also has stated that his Afghanistan withdrawal was a success, even though we had 13 military personnel murdered, and having left American citizens and Afghani aides behind to be subject to the control of the murderous Taliban, and billions of dollars worth of military arms and equipment abandoned to the enemy.  He also had the gall to say that his generals didn't object to his plan – which they did object, and he ignored them. A bold faced lie.

Lately, he has been going around championing that “Bidenomics” has been a roaring success, not mentioning the rising gas prices, the inflation affecting food prices, the mortgage rates that are hitting 30 year highs (70% say that the country is on the wrong track), and that the border crisis is under control, and that the border is closed even with over 6 million illegals who have entered our country since he became president, not to mention the flood of that killer drug Fentanyl, that has come into our country killing upwards of 100,000 of our citizens, mostly young people.

It seems truth to Joe Biden doesn't matter, he says or does what he thinks his audience wants to hear.  He's been doing that most of his life even when he ran for president in 1987, when he plagiarized speeches by a British lawmaker, Neil Kinnock, and a speech by Robert Kennedy, from 1978.  When confronted with his plagiarism, he dropped out of the race for president.

The press and the Democrats have “selective memories” when it comes to both Trump and Biden lying to the public. According to them, Trump is a liar and Biden is just “Blue Collar” Joe who just misspeaks on occasion, no big deal.  You could say that “Pinocchio Joe” gets a pass while the “evil” Donald Trump must be “burned at the stake”.  You could say there are none so blind as those who will not see.  It's called the liberal double standard.

Now that the Democrats and the liberal mainstream media have gotten their jollies about the indictments of former President Donald Trump, it would seem appropriate and logical to go after the real criminal politician, President Joe Biden and his family?

Any impartial person seeing what the Democrats have done to Donald Trump, realize that all his legal woes are the result of vicious politics and not the rule of law. Ask yourself this question, if Donald Trump was not running for election as president, would any of the flimsy charges against Trump be in play? Obviously not.  This attack and harassment against Trump was and is a personal vendetta of a former president who threatens the “Deep State” politicians and bureaucrats who inhabit the “D.C. Swamp”. Included also, are even some Republicans.

Upon the observation of the legal troubles facing Donald Trump, couldn't someone relate them to a case of “Reverse Racial Discrimination” against a “White” politician who doesn't “toe the line” that his opponents approve of? Look at the facts, in 3 jurisdictions we have 3 overly partisan prosecutors who are Black Democrats.  The Attorney General of N.Y. State, Leticia James. Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, and Atlanta District Attorney, Fani Willis, all George Soros acolytes, who happen to be Black, along with the overly partisan Democrat political hack, the “white” D.C. prosecutor, Jack Smith.  The expression, “what is good for goose is good for the gander” in playing the “race card”, can certainly apply in these cases against Trump.  It seems that any and all positions that Trump or the Republicans have taken is usually referred to by the Democrats as being racist, whether it fits or not.  All those black prosecutors ran for election promising to try to put Donald Trump in prison.  What a disgrace.  Shouldn't law enforcement officials be impartial in carrying out their duties and not overtly going after a fellow citizen for strictly political reasons?  They should all be removed from office for making a mockery of our justice system, but since they are Democrats, that wouldn't happen in today's “dual standards of justice” that seems to be the case today.

In regards to the “real” criminals, Joe Biden, his son and family, the mounting evidence seems to indicate that they were involved in a massive “play for pay” scheme while Joe Biden was Veep under Barack Obama.  It seems from most reliable sources, mainly from from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop and former associates, that Joe Biden was up to his eyeballs into the business activities of his son and brother in their nefarious foreign business activities with “bad actors” from a myriad of foreign countries.  Millions of dollars were paid to the Biden family by those “bad actors”, which by most ethical legal standards were criminal acts by an elected official and his family.  What did the Biden family do to get this largess of money from these foreign countries?  Did they sell a product or business service or did the sell political influence that made Joe Biden and his family millionaires? To many, the answer is quite obvious, is the Pope Catholic?

So yes, it is time to focus on the “real” criminals, not Donald Trump. Joe Biden has been shown over and over again to be liar, a braggart, and a sleazy politician that should be the one facing criminal charges.

My prediction, as more and more damaging facts come out about Joe Biden and his family, that the Democrat Party will face the fact that Joe Biden has too much baggage to run and win reelection, and that he should drop out of the race for reelection for the benefit of the party. One problem for the Democrats is that they have a very weak bench of possible candidates to fill the void of a Joe Biden not running. 

The only problem for the Republicans is that they might “grab defeat from the jaws of victory” by harmful infighting from within the Republican Party itself.  Hopefully, the Republicans can get their act together and unify in time for November 2024, so that we can get the country back on track by getting rid of the Marxist/Socialist Democrats who have been taking our country to the edge of the abyss and total destruction.

First off, let's define the terms:  Prosecute – means to pursue , carry out, or bring a lawsuit against a person or group.  Persecute – means to subject a person or group to persistent ill treatment.

Which of those terms do you think applies to Donald Trump and his legal problems today?

Can you imagine spending 6 years trying to emasculate a political opponent because you don't like him or his politics by using and perverting the tenets of the law against him?  Well, that's exactly what the Democrats have done and are doing to try to marginalize Donald Trump. This isn't how a democratic republic is supposed to operate.  Our founding father's gave us a constitution that is the envy of the world, and it has lasted for 234 years.  The Democrats, since Barack Obama, have been trying to “Fundamentally Change America” into a form of a pseudo Marxist/Socialist society.  With the subsequent election of Joe Biden, as president in 2020, they have been coming close to gaining their objective.

Donald Trump, whether you love him or hate him, has been unmercifully the object of the Democrats and the main stream media's scorn for the past 6 years.  Ever since Trump descended down the escalator at Trump Tower, and announcing that he was running for president as a Republican against the Democrat nominee (which eventually was Hillary Clinton), it has been one vicious charge and smear after another.  The Democrats, and their flunky's in the media, have been on his case almost 24/7. It has increased exponentially after he won the election in 2016.

Since he was an outsider and not part of the “Deep State”, he became the target of the loony left accusing him of the most dastardly acts a president could do. During his 4 years in office as president, he was able to withstand most of the smears and innuendo's thrown at him, but when he decided to run again for president in 2024, the knives came out even more.  Besides, while in office, he was cleared by the Mueller Commission of any collusion with the Russians. It was a hoax perpetrated by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat National Committee, according to the Durham Report, who examined the Russian collusion charges, not Trump. Not to be denied their false accusation of Russian collusion, the Democrats and the media pushed for two impeachments, one while he was in office and one when he was leaving office.  Both times he was found not guilty in the Senate. He also was subject to a “Kangaroo Court” Congressional Committee (made up of all Trump haters), who were supposedly investigating the January 6 Capitol riots.  It was a complete total waste of taxpayer money and time, and defamed the House of Representatives, under the direction of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a most rabid Trump hater.  

Now when he decided to run for president again in 2024, the knives have turned into sabers.  Working hand-in-hand with the Justice Department and the FBI, supposedly non-partisan agencies of the federal government, and by working with some local radical state attorney generals, he has been confronted with a series of indictments, whose main purpose is to prevent him from getting back into the oval office.

This is where prosecution becomes persecution, as his enemies are using and weaponizing law enforcement to do the Democrats dirty work against Trump.  Frivolous crimes and charges against Trump are brought forth, which if it wasn't for the Trump name and person, those crimes and charges would not have been brought forth.  The Democrats and the media are deathly afraid that Trump will clean house and dismantle the “Deep State” if he regains the presidency.

We must not let those entrenched political frauds regain power in 2024, or our country will be emulating a “Banana Republic” and on its way of becoming a country that has lost its way in a very tumultuous world.  We must vote the rascals out in 2024, whether it is Trump or another Republican.  Our country depends upon it.
