Pardon Me?

Comment

After repeatedly insisting that he wouldn’t do it, President Biden has pardoned Hunter. Furthermore, it’s a sweeping pardon that covers not only crimes Hunter has been convicted of or charged with, but any other crimes he might be found to have committed during the past ten years. Those who’ve been telling us Donald Trump is a threat to democracy and a fascist without respect for the Constitution or rule of law, have been silent about Biden’s exhibition of the very traits they wanted us to fear from Trump. Therefore, we feel compelled to speak up about it.

It’s a sad day for the country and its citizens except one: Hunter Biden. We’re waiting to see if Hunter speaks up and declares that, given the nation’s interest in justice and his personal interest in dignity and self-respect, he will not accept the pardon and will waive all benefits thereof. He could hold a press conference and say, “Hey, I didn’t ask dad for this and, in fact, I begged him not to do it and to let the wheels of justice turn in due course and dispense such judgment upon me as deemed fair and appropriate. I have always stood ready to accept the outcome and to render whatever penance might be demanded by Lady Justice.” Even though this would have no legal effect, it would at least make him look better.
We’d be amenable to forgiving Biden’s lies and duplicity and to respecting Hunter’s disclaimer if President Biden were to exhibit a fair, balanced, and unbiased hand in the matter and pardon Donald Trump from all the lawfare charges and convictions levied upon him over the past ten years. He could, with an entirely straight face, rationalize Trump’s pardon on the basis of best interest of the nation, a basis that’s glaringly absent in Hunter’s pardon. Additionally, he has never said he wouldn’t pardon Trump.

It’s a good thing we’re not holding our breath while waiting for the left, the media, Joe, and Hunter to speak up as suggested above. It (holding our breath) would result in our last adios, the termination of our mission to bring truth to a nation that’s suffocating in lies, and the end of a revolution to defend, save, and protect the Constitution and Bill of Rights, to restore the rule of law, and to rejuvenate pride in being citizens of the United States of America.

The question people should be asking about the pardon instead of acting surprised about it is this: Why now? Why not wait a month and do it a couple days before leaving office? That’s when most presidents issue a slough of pardons, especially any that may be unpopular. Perhaps he feared he might forget. Perhaps he’s been having chest pains and feared he might die before getting it done. Bandolero, however, discerns a more nefarious scenario.

We suggest that Democratic leadership in concert with Kamala Harris have persuaded Biden to step down from office so that Harris can be sworn in as the first female President of the United States. They probably gave him the choice to either resign voluntarily or suffer the ignomy of removal under the 25th Amendment. Biden however, not trusting Harris to fulfill a promise to pardon Hunter in exchange for his resignation, decided to get it done asap.

Chapter 10 Revealed

We are pleased to inform the public of the publication of Chapter 10 of Bandolero’s Memoirs. While we’re here, we’ll note that, usually, a memoir is written near the end of one’s life, when one has done one’s lifetime of accomplishments, failures, or mediocrity, and desires to look back upon it, reflect upon it, and then write down such memories and reflections as one believes may interest those who are still struggling along the path of life. Bandolero’s Memoirs, however, seem to depict events in real time or, rather, in historical and/or present time, as his life appears to unfold or to have unfolded, at times haphazardly. However, it’s more complicated than that, due to our quantum universe and string reality. For El Bandolero, all is history, even that which to others seems to be present or future, if not past. Bandolero is timeless. Thus he is able to write about, and describe, what to others may be past, present, and/or future, in a way that Bandolero is able to present as history or, at times, in real time. Furthermore, because El Bandolero is a man who reveres honor and truth above all else, one need never fear that what he presents is biased, untrue, or misinformed. There are those who call themselves influencers, or who are labelled as such. Their endeavors are futile because, as Bandolero knows, the past, present, and/or future are immutable and attempts to influence their course are impotent. Those who see what they believe to be the result of influence of others or of themselves only see that which was already written, as were the actions of the influencers, whether they be others or themselves. Even though it may seem to them that there would have been different outcomes but for their influence, the fact is that it was written that way, anyhow. We all are but players on a stage, as was once written by a wise and prescient scientist and philosopher. Bandolero, who has been blessed, or perhaps cursed, with the knowledge of all that was, is, and shall be, has been called upon to shed the light of knowledge. From such light comes Bandolero’s Memoirs.

So, one might well ask, does El Bandolero really know the future? To which, one might well answer, does this really need to be asked, or answered? Would it matter? The answer should be obvious. The important thing for now is the manifestation of Chapter 10. Whether or not the public or any member of it is able to digest and comprehend the revelations therein is another matter, possibly one which is debatable, though needlessly so.

Election Deniers

Bandolero has observed that the Democrats and MSM (Main Stream Media – although these days it’s questionable that it can be said to be main stream) are more and more strenuously shouting about “election deniers” who are a threat to democracy. They go out of their way to identify candidates they can brand as “election deniers”, and proclaim that the election of such Republicans would bring the end of democracy.

Wow. The outcome of an election would mean the end of democracy. Really? Such an assertion is patently irrational and, frankly, ought not to require a response. However, failure to respond before today’s electorate risks being taken as fear of exposure that it may be true. So, what has been the Republican response to this absurd claim? They dance the Tennessee Two-Step. As one of our favorite podcasters says to start his programs, “Oh, my goodness!” Where have the Republicans parked their cajones? And, yes, we are aware that female candidates don’t, literally, have cajones, we use the term metaphorically and apologize to anyone whose feelings may be hurt by our doing so.

What constitutes Republican “election denial” after the 2020 election pales, and pales tremendously, beside the election denial engaged in by Democrats after the 2016 election. Hillary Clinton is on record (video and audio) claiming that she did not, in fact, lose the election but, rather, that it was stolen from her. Schumer and Schiff and their Democrat cohorts engaged in a nearly four year campaign of lies about Trump’s collusion with Putin and Russia. They went so far as to fabricate false claims, and to present perjured documents, to conduct surveillance on Trump’s campaign in their efforts to get the Department of Justice to indict Trump for fabricated crimes. They brought groundless impeachments against him. They unleashed every sort of political assassination they could muster in their efforts to unseat the duly elected president. The waste of legislative time and resources that they devoted to their specious efforts instead of to their elected duties has been swept under the carpet by the MSM, in derogation of its obligation to inquire, investigate, discover and publicize facts and truths in pursuit of what they claim to be the public’s “right to know”.

Election deniers? ¡Díos mío! Give us a break! Anybody who wants to espouse an opinion that an election, or any other event, was contaminated by irregularities has the guaranteed right, by virtue of the First Amendment, to state their opinion, regardless of whether they have evidence to prove it. Everybody else has the right to point out that they have no evidence. But to declare, as a matter of government policy, that those who express such opinions are a threat to democracy, is by far the greater threat to democracy. The demonization by Democrats of “election deniers” is an affront to, and an attack upon, the Constitution and Bill of Rights. That, my amigos, is the real threat to democracy that’s at stake in this election. What Bandolero doesn’t understand is why the Republicans don’t have the cajones to just say so. It’s almost enough to convince a person that what’s needed isn’t just a Republican sweep, but a Clean Sweep. Throw them ALL out. For now, however, the first step is to put Republicans in the majority of the House and Senate. Then, we can work on 2024.
