Opus 2025-067: You Should Believe in Miracles

It looks like we might not descend into chaos as a nation.  We have had a successful transfer of power between groups of people who seriously disagree on almost everything.  We did it again without shooting or armies in the streets.  We did it without the Air Force generals trying to bomb the Marines.  This is an American miracle, the transfer of power in peace.

During my lifetime I have seen this kind of extreme before.  It last happened when Jimmy Carter turned over the reigns to Ronald Reagan.  I remember the rumors that flowed as the older Bush left office and how we were supposed to have a revolution when Clinton came in and another when he went out.  Conspiracy never takes a day off.  Part of the American genius is that the nation as a whole would not settle for such rituals.

That does not mean that currently the cabal running the Biden administration did not do everything they could to tie the hands of the incoming Trump.  I doubt if this is the first time such things have happened.  Way back in 1803 when the Federalists were leaving power they tried to appoint a bunch of their judges before Jefferson took the oath.  Down through history it has been a pattern.  

I would be willing to guess that the current crop of traps and handcuffs set a new record for obstruction.  Take the smothering of our justice system by the thousands of pardons that Joe Biden issued.  And what about the preemptive pardons?  Who ever heard of such a thing?  Who ever would imagine doing such a thing?  I guess the Democrats would.  If you have been following the click bait, you have been a witness to major league obstruction and attempts to violate the spirit of the republic.  

Let us hope that the republic and the Constitution are strong enough to surface and move forward.
