Last week saw Donald Trump booked in the Fulton Country, GA jail along with 18 other individuals who are charged with what amounts to exercising their right to question the 2020 election results in the State of Georgia.
Whatever you may think of Donald Trump or the 2020 election, the fact that a former president can be charged with racketeering for questioning the official narrative that the “election was the most secure in American history” ought to be cause for alarm. And it’s not just Donald Trump either. Eighteen other individuals have been indicted in this case, including lawyers who assisted Trump, most notably Rudy Giuliani, former Mayor of New York.
The Biden Regime, the Establishment, is sending the message to any future president or presidential candidate, don’t you dare even consider representing anyone but us. If you try to represent the people, you are history.

“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”
That famous saying, attributed to the head of Joseph Stalin’s secret police, Lavrentiy Beria, is the best summary there is of the term “weaponized law.” It is also now the unofficial slogan of the Biden Regime’s Department of Justice (sic) and of the American legal system more broadly.
In a proper, Christian legal system, you start with the evidence of a crime, investigate the matter to determine the suspect, and bring charges against that person. That’s the way America’s legal system worked, or at least was understood to work, for most of the nation’s history.
But in just the last few years, it is obvious that things have changed. Instead of beginning with evidence of a crime and working to determine who committed it, American “justice” now begins with the man and goes looking for crimes with which to charge him.
Members of a US-bound migrant caravan stand on a road after federal police briefly blocked their way outside the town of Arriaga, Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018. Hundreds of Mexican federal officers carrying plastic shields had blocked the caravan from advancing toward the United States, after several thousand of the migrants turned down the chance to apply for refugee status and obtain a Mexican offer of benefits.
In last week’s post, I detailed how a few GOP lawmakers have pointed the finger at Rome for its extraordinary role in promoting the extraordinary immigration treason carried out on a daily basis by the Biden Regime all along our Southwestern border.
Unsurprisingly, prelates of the Roman Catholic Church-State in good cry bully fashion have come out whining about all the supposedly unfair criticism of Holy Mother Church.
As a case in point, let’s look at a recent article by Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, retired bishop of the Dioceses of Brooklyn. His piece titled “Fix the immigration system but don’t scapegoat the Church.” In the bishop’s opinion, the problem is not the millions of illegal aliens pouring across our southern border and imposing their costs on the American people. The problem is that there are not enough legal immigration channels. In his words, “the real issue the nation is confronting” is “a lack of legal channels for migration under our present immigration laws.”
Put another way, the ongoing immivasion of the United States and all its attendant evils is the fault of stingy American immigration laws and the selfish American people and the selfish politicians they elect. By no means is it the fault of the welfare migrants violating our immigration laws, and certainly it isn’t the fault of the Catholic Church or its eminent representatives such as, say, Bishop DiMarzio.
According to DiMarzio,
A review of the social ministry teaching of the Church will help dispel the doubts that have been placed in the public forum by some uninformed public officials. First, let me be clear: The Church does not advocate for open borders. In fact, the teaching is clear that a sovereign nation has the right to admit those whom it chooses, but it must be based on the common good — not only of the receiving nation but also of the migrants.
This is an extraordinary lie. The Roman Church-State by all means advocates for open borders and has zero respect for national sovereignty. In fact, there are few things in all the world that Rome hates more than sovereign nations making their own decisions without consulting the Antichrist popes of Rome.

On the other hand, my first thought was, “Now that’s what I call progress.”
When I think of charities that ought to be defunded, the treasonous group known as Catholic Charities tops the list. Of course, the federal government has no business giving taxpayer money to any religious charity. But Catholic Charities is the granddaddy of all religious charities feeding at the federal trough, that, and the fact that it is an arm of Antichrist and the biggest pusher of immigration treason in the United States makes it target numero uno for defunding.
What’s drawn the ire of the anti-American Washington Post, in this case, is that,
A few Republican members of Congress are threatening to reduce or eliminate funding for Catholic Charities and other faith-based groups that offer aid to immigrants at the U.S. southern border.
“GOP lawmakers once praised Catholic Charities, Now they want to defund the group” By Jack Jenkins, The Washington Post, July 28, 2023
Now calling Catholic Charities and other groups aiding and abetting the migrant invasion of America “faith-based groups that offer aid to immigrants at the U.S. southern border” is akin to calling arsonists “those who help people heat their homes in the winter by assisting them with starting fires.”
The fact is that Rome has been stoking the fires of the immigration crisis for decades in America and elsewhere and then rides up in a fire engine and pretends to put out the blaze with humanitarian assistance that comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers.
