American Manufacturing Is About More Than Just Jobs
Bringing back American manufacturing is critical to American society in more ways than just economic ones. In order for America to succeed it needs the ability to make things, not only for the stability and good jobs it provides, but for national security as well.

Is It Time to Open the Floodgates?

It is no secret that Trump's indictments and trials are of an entirely unprecedented nature. It's not to say that anyone should be considered above the law in any sense. But at the same time, it is not all that unobvious why now, and why Trump.

I know it sounds conspiratorial and a bit tin-hatty, but is it even just that Trump is winning that's the issue here?

What does Trump know and what does the left have to hide?

The argument the left is hanging on is, "All people should be held accountable." They keep pounding their fists about it. The problem is, how come they don't think that way about everyone except for Trump? Essentially, everyone else gets a pass but Trump has to pay?

Sure, the left likes to say, "But Trump's guilty." But by who's measure? Because they (the left) say so, and we just have to take their word for it?

The thing is, no matter what accusations are thrown at the left, they are quickly dismissed as lies and innuendo. Mere accusations with no basis in fact. But when it comes to Trump it's all true no matter what and grave abuses of the system and powers.

How many years did we have to sit through the Mueller investigation solely based on the premise of what turned out to be a fake dossier that accused Trump of doing what? Stealing an election. Only to have anyone on our side shut down for even suggesting Biden may have stolen his.

Trump told protestors on January 6th to be peaceful, yet he was adamantly accused of inciting an insurrection. Yet, no one batted an eye when Chuck Shumer said there would be hell to pay before someone tried to storm Justice Kavanaugh's home to kill him.

How many times was Bill Clinton accused of rape and sexual assault? Were there cries of accountability then? When Fast and Furious was revealed, that guns were being offered to Mexican drug cartels that caused the death of a border patrol agent, were there cries then?

How about when Obama directed the IRS to "slow down" the process of approving certain tax-exempt status for conservative PACs during an election year. Did that raise any eyebrows? Or when his administration outright lied to the American people about the nature of Benghazi to free the optics during an election? Was that of concern?

Hillary Clinton not only kept an unsecure and frankly illegal server, but she also "wiped" it after it was discovered, and 30,000 emails went missing that we have no idea what they contained other than what she alleged they contained. Nothing to see here?

No one wanted to question what Hunter Biden was doing regarding Burisma in Ukraine or what was suggested might be a connection to then Vice President Biden. And then there's the laptop. There's the "big guy" theory strongly suggesting deep criminal activities conducted in the Biden family. 

Not even a hiccup from the crowd.

There are irregularities in the classified documents cases between Trump and Biden. 

I don't want to see the political landscape to be forever locked in criminal investigations while at the same time asserting that I think no one is or should be above the law in any circumstance. But at the same time, we can't just focus on one man and leave all the others untouched. We can't accept all of the accusations of one man and dismiss any others as silly to suggest.

When the left talks about accountability, what are they really saying? Hold TRUMP accountable. Period. End of story.

That by itself strongly suggests the entirely political nature of this. Because if it was truly about accountability, the courts would be filled with cases against politicians on both sides of the aisle, and the 24-hour news cycle would hardly be able to keep up with all of it.

I am starting to think all bets are off. Let's open the flood gates. Let's put them all up for grabs. Every single one of them. Let's have investigations up the wazoo. You want accountability? Fine. Put your money and your laurels where your mouth is.

Because again, when the only guy I see being held to account happens to be Donald J. Trump and everyone else gets a pass, I have only one thing to say.

You're all full of shit!
