PURELY POLITICAL Mea Culpa
It's about time the folks who threw the election to Joe Biden and tried to destroy Donald Trump's administration before that confessed their sins.
Mistakes Were Made
Yes indeed.
But, funny thing, no one – absolutely no one, not one entity or person – has paid a price for those “mistakes,” many of which were deliberate lies and misstatements. And, yes, those lies – particularly the lies of the 51 so-called security “experts” whose signatures on the pernicious statement that kept the news and the reality of presidential son Hunter Biden’s laptop from reaching the general public really did influence the 2020 election. Along with, of course, all the media outlets that refused to cover or carry the slightest bit of negative news about their chosen candidate.
Nor have any of the social media sites that collaborated with government entities to withhold critical and/or negative information about their basement-bound candidate to voters across the spectrum in the months leading up to the 2020 election been reprimanded.
None – not one – of the deep state actors responsible for their egregious election interference have paid a price.
Not one,
Think about it. After the Billy Bush beauty contest tape – The Democrats’ “October Surprise”) – was released about a month before the 2016 election revealing a damaging behind-the-scenes private conversation between candidate Trump and beauty contest emcee Bush, the Clinton campaign couldn’t come up with anything else particularly damning to pin on Mr. Trump.
Hillary’ campaign didn’t even try; the belief among most political pundits was that the tape’s exposure had dealt a death blow to the Trump campaign and had assured them the election was in the bag; the political consensus was that this big braggard who’d never held an elected position could not and would not defeat the golden girl of the political realm.
They were wrong, of course, and Trump shocked the world by winning the election.
This didn’t sit well with Hillary, and in an apparent scorned-woman tirade, she set out to destroy the nascent Trump administration.
In January 2017, days before the newly elected president was set to take the oath of office and assume the highest office in the land, Hillary and her enablers dropped the Steele dossier on the country. The dossier was filled with rumors of salacious behavior by the new president up to and including “colluding” with the Russian Federation and its president Vladimir Putin.
The dossier was made up of barroom-style boastful “Have you heards?” and “Wait’ll I tell you about this!” bullpoop accumulated and thrown in by Steele and associates and then paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
It was she who colluded with Steele and his Russian sources to damage and/or destroy the nascent presidency of the populist billionaire.
Now that we have another election close at hand and the 2016 victor is once again in the race for the presidency, Jim’s Journal has decided that those who haven’t paid the price for their ugly actions must finally own up, to confess, and maybe even plead for forgiveness.
I had planned to run many Mea Culpas but have decided instead to give each of the evil doers the chance to offer their own apologies separately.
We’ll begin with the foulest modern-day influence in American politics: the 75-year-old Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yes, the woman born October 26, 1947, who claimed to have been named after the famous conqueror of Mt. Everest – an unknown beekeeper and part-time mountain climber named Edmund Hillary – whose exploits with Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay made headlines around the world when they became the very first humans to reach the summit of the world’s highest peak on May 29, 1953.
Apparently, Ms. Rodham’s parents had devined correctly that Mt. Everest would be scaled by New Zealander Edmund Hillary nearly six years after their baby girl was born!
But enough. Here’s what Ms. Clinton should say:
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Mea Culpa
“My husband and I are serial liars (shades of Joe Biden!) and have been throughout our glorious and monetarily hugely successful political careers. Those personal peccadillos existed long before I became a “Goldwater Girl” in Illinois (in the 1960s; oh my!) and way before my memory failed me when the first Grand Jury asked all those stupid questions about that Whitewater stuff.
“The first thing I need forgiveness for – and which I’m now admitting to as the first step in a 12-step process – is when reporters asked me how I turned a $1,000 investment in Cattle Futures (or were they Pig Bellies? I simply don’t recall) into $100,000 in less than a year. I claimed I had studied how to trade in the commodities market by reading The Wall Street Journal (or was it “Trading Commodities for Dummies”? My memory is fuzzy).
“James (Jimmy!) Blair, my investment advisor, seemed really happy about my husband’s election as Attorney General of Arkansas and helped me turn my $1,000 investment into almost $100,000 in about ten months (like magic!).
“Who would have thought it could be so easy?
“Certainly not me and I know the fellas at the trading firm didn’t treat me any different than any other client, most of whom lost a lot of money! Bill and my combined income in 1978 was $51,173, so you can see how much I needed this trading stuff to go well.
“And, son of a bitch, it did.
“I must be the luckiest girl in the world. The Journal of Economics and Finance figured the odds of my making that much money during that period were ‘about one in 31 trillion!’
“I apologize too for not trying harder to protect my good friend Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens, along with Information Officer Sean Smith and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods when I was Secretary of State and could have helped them. They all died when a bunch of Muslims stormed the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya. I refused to call in an air strike and attributed the attack to some silly YouTube video. That, of course, was a lie, but I couldn’t take the hit– after all, I was going to run for president one day – what was a girl to do?
“Mea culpa; mea culpa!
“Oh, and please forgive me for hiring that darn oppo research company and not revealing sooner that it was my campaign (Thank you Mr. Elias, Fusion GPS, and the whole Perkins Coie law firm!) that put up the money for Mr. Steele to write that dossier of his that caused so much trouble for Mr. Trump.
“Well, my pants suit tailor is due any moment to give me another fitting. I just keep getting bigger, but I don’t know why; neither does Billy, the old goat. I never see him anymore, and I don’t know why…”
Hill-arious. The earth would quake if she confessed. You are just getting warmed up, her history is rich.
You are a very good scribe! Keep up your great work and hope the new living situation is very suitable!
