The Patriot Post® · Political Illusionists

My wife and I are currently watching an old TV series called The Mentalist. The show features a former mentalist who now helps the California Bureau of Investigation solve crimes. It’s a few years old so there is no climate change, homosexual rights, or other types of political correctness in the script, just good old crime fighting.

Patrick Jane, the hero in the TV series, is a piker compared to the political illusionist we have today. It’s like a magician having you look at this hand while he hides something in the other. President Donald Trump is being investigated by Congress (again) for not responding to the COVID-19 crisis sooner. This happened while the Left was trying to impeach the president. He mentioned COVID-19 in his State of the Union speech, Nancy. Too bad you tore up your copy! Remember his “racist and xenophobic” actions to stop flights from China, then Europe, while you and Mayor Bill De Blasio are inviting people to Chinatown to celebrate the Chinese New Year?

President Trump takes a walk across the street from the White House and stands in front of a fire-damaged historic church and holds up a Bible. As media outrage erupts, Nancy Pelosi holds up a Bible at an event and Joe Biden finds a nearby church and comes out of his underground bunker to criticize Trump for … going to a church and holding up a Bible, I guess?

Nancy Pelosi and a gaggle of leftists take a knee in the Capitol Building for a moment of silence for George Floyd. It was a solemn moment where the only sound was the constant clicking of how many cameras? But this was NOT A PHOTO OP, don’t ya know! Media response; move on folks, nothing to see here.

Then we have the recent protests to the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minnesota. For a brief moment, the solidarity of the nation was with them. Then came antifa and Black Lives Matter and they stole the show. Tell me how destroying minority businesses in your own neighborhood helps bring social justice to a community?

When the president or anyone is critical of the rioters, we’re racists because only a few of the protesters are looters. But EVERY policeman is bad because of the actions of a few. Now we have the nationwide movement to defund police departments all across the nation, which will help us to … okay, I have no idea how that helps anybody, but I’m white, so I must be a racist to even suggest this is wrong.

For years now we have seen the Left say, “Look over here at what Trump is doing” (sleight of hand), while over here they are manufacturing lie after lie after lie, misdirection after misdirection. Trump is a Russian asset. Trump is a traitor. Trump asked for dirt on his political rival (what was that Steele dossier again) but they just want to get to the truth about Ukraine. Except the part about Hunter Biden and Burisma Oil & Gas Company, just the stuff Trump did.

Here’s a great trick that would help the Left; Adam Schiff, bring out the evidence you’ve been holding onto for three years proving Trump’s guilt!

Something to think about?
