There used to be a saying popular in political circles: “If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with BS.”
Here are some facts. Not just any facts, but really good facts you might want to learn and store for future use.
Fact one: Members of the United States Congress can lie during debate without penalty. Yes, you read that correctly. “The Speech or Debate Claus of the U.S. Constitution states that “[F}or any Speech or Debate in the either House,” Members of Congress “shall not be questioned in any other Place.” The clause serves various purpose: principally to protect the independence and integrity of the legislative branch by protecting against executive or judicial intrusions into the protected legislative sphere, but also to bar judicial or executive processes that may constitute a “distraction” or “disruption” to a Member’s representative or legislative role. This nauseating, abbreviated blurb can be found, at length, at congress.gov, as it is an official document issued by Congress itself.
Not in reptilian lawyer words, this painful official document covers the butts of both House and Senate members who have trouble with the truth.
Here’s a terrific time for you to consider for yourself, “Why would politicians want to lie, and why would they need protection therefrom?”
Answer: Because there’s money, power, and integrity involved.
Let’s take a stroll down the road to some of the money, power, and integrity that needs to be so dearly protected.
A fellow named Barack Hussein Obama served as president for two terms. During those terms, he rabidly pushed for ‘medical insurance’ for all, which led voters to believe it was ‘medical care’ for all. You can clearly see the difference with a distinction. And 16-years later, those lies promoted by Democratic Congressfolk, are coming due in the form of astronomical premium increases.
There were also “shovel-ready” jobs awaiting the unemployed. Unfortunately, the con was evident when Obama openly chuckled that those ‘jobs weren’t as shovel-ready as he thought.’ Ha, ha. That was over a trillion dollars in higher taxes ago.
Of course, Obama was unable to earmark or write checks for anything inasmuch as Congress controls the money. Good thing they were willing to appease Speaker Nancy Pelosi in helping drive our economy into unimaginable debt that will haunt America’s youngest residents for generations.
Fact two: Donald Trump, our 45th President, was slandered by politicians, as well as the legacy media, throughout his 2016 campaign for the Presidency.
Slurs over blatant falsehoods about everything from his alleged association with hookers, foreign leaders, sexual assaults, plus child sex rings were spewed non-stop. There were no consequences to these and other accusations; still, they continue to haunt his every move – being used as a giant distraction to getting our nation back on track.
Fact three: President Joseph Robinette “Plugs” Biden was handily elected to serve as our 46th President, at which time his hare-brained ideas drove our national debt to nose-bleed levels...$34 trillion! The interest alone amounted to a whopping $970,000,000 per year. But who really cares?
In a clear effort to make himself sound and appear smarter than he actually was, pundits from The Left, mainstream media, Democratic politicians, endless internet influencers, plus a compendium of simple-minded actors, actresses, and minstrel-type musical entertainers found themselves mired with self-relevancy regarding their personal positions on Donald Trump.
Quickly taking positions resembling a rugby scrum, people from both sides of the aisle took to publicly criticizing any and everything related to Donald Trump as well as his wildly popular Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. The delineation was crystal clear.
Regaling crowds of fawning reporters and admiring snookered voters, Plugs Biden gleefully spewed one lie after another about his career as a semi-truck driver, young street thug, train engineer, college scholar, plus his arrest in South Africa alongside Nelson Mandela, providing Americans with 500,000 EV charging stations, besides claiming illegal immigrant children detained at the Southern Border were housed in cages built by President Trump, all of which were outlandish fabrications accepted as truth by the media. More BS.
Fact four: Referring back to fact one, it was quickly obvious that through public arrests, riots, disclosures of lack of candor, litigations, and whistle blowers, smarmy politicians disguised as caring, thoughtful legislators eagerly discovered their thespian genes attempting to rid America of a man – Donald Trump – they openly called “Hitler” and “Nazi.”
With now-regular press conferences, constant displays of hate and vitriol have been used to drive wedges among the masses. Undeterred, Trump and his MAGA crusaders continued their quest to retake America from the insane running our once sovereign nation aground. It was now or never.
But it was going to prove difficult to convince the average voter that they were summarily lied to by people they had trusted, many venerated, some for decades.
However, the fix was in. the average person was unable to differentiate between a lie and the truth due to the razzle dazzle performed by esteemed politicians, familiar news readers, co-workers, neighbors, clergy, even family members.
Fact five: Just below the surface of society’s waters lurked a seemingly out-of-control invasion of America by misfits, criminals, and non-conformists: illegal aliens. These new residents – I refuse to call them citizens due to their disdain for our rule of law – took to receiving free goodies offered them by Democrats as if they were distributing Halloween candy. But it was all planned.
With no apparent need or want to assimilate into our society, many of these latecomers seemed to enjoy drinking mead without exchanging any effort to positively contribute to the involved work. It was a win-win situation for everyone except the compliant taxpayers. What could possibly go wrong?
A dangerous wedge was driven between citizens and ‘new residents,’ dragging bleeding heart liberals to the side of the perpetual ‘gimme gimmes.’ Led by activists, the disaffected, and malcontents, these social warriors are desperately pushing our society toward the brink of societal collapse.
On the other side were sane individuals who were well on their way to reconstituting the United States back to a place where individuals worked as one toward a unified goal that would be beneficial to everyone.
Asking the illegal entrants – the alien invaders who produced no identification on medical paperwork upon entry, besides little in the way of assets – were suddenly found to be protected by Democrats who felt this cause was one worth destroying America over.
Riots ensued when prior criminal lawbreakers were attempted to be rounded up for processing and possible deportation. With politicians and the weak minded among us literally fighting federal, and often local police, simple apprehensions turned violent; some resulted in deaths of feral-like protesters.
Splashed across television and internet devices, uninformed people with only a modicum of information turned local jurisdictions into flaming heaps of anger and division with President Trump 47, as well as MAGA voters, the definitive targets of this blind rage.
Midterm elections, in November 2025, resulted in a number of new team of politicians entering the fray. New Jersey, Virginia, New York City, are just three of the jurisdictions welcoming fresh blood ready to lead. But lead where should have been the question before any ballots were cast.
Instituting seemingly countless intrusive new legislation designed to restrict people’s rights guaranteed under God, clearly spelled out in The Constitution, we, the people, found ourselves facing yet another round of mayhem on the horizon.
Virginia’s freshly minted gubenor, Abigail Spanberger, has been afflicted with writer’s cramp signing one restrictive anti-gun law after another, all in the name of “safety.” This Old Dominion version of
‘If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with BS,’ idiom has pushed Ol’ Virginny to the brink of civility.
Spanberger’s deceit during her campaign would put any seasoned grifting politician to shame – making Plugs Biden look like a rank amateur.
With anti-gun politicians enjoying what they are witnessing in Spanberger’s opening chapter of her version of the Gates of Hell, our formulation has taken on a new life. Nescient pols have been clamoring for attention hoping to be the one who finally rid America of those dangerous, evil, dirty guns.
But how did this Red State arrive at its Purple junction? Once again, the media, ignorant Democratic politicians, with the assistance of Hollywood.
Fact six: Implanting misquotes, vacuous ‘solutions,’ blanket fabrications, along with misplaced fear, the aforementioned non-expert gun experts have been using any and all means necessary to slant every conversation about firearms towards oblivion. (Read: Abolition of the Second Amendment.)
With anointed political media whores popping up like turds in a punch bowl, video and audio clips espousing outlawing guns have been nearly impossible to miss. To even a Neo-gun owner, these rants offer more in the way of misinformation and imbecility than cold and hard facts.
Take, for instance, Representatives – who, incidentally, are supposed to represent – as well as newsreaders actually posing as intelligent journalists, offer regularly offer inane thoughts on guns, as facts.
Describing a “double barreled magazine with an extended clip,” was what a newsreader stoically offered her audience as solid evidence for gun control, on-camera, in the aftermath of a shooting.
Not to be outdone, a Congressional Representative, holding a modern sporting rifle, uttered the words, “This, right here, has the ability with a thirty caliber clip to disperse 30 bullets within a half a second.”
A different gun “authority” – believed to be a state representative – pointed to a rifle stock designed for handicapped gun enthusiasts, as he asserted it converted the target rifle he was holding into a fully-automatic machinegun.
And yet another showed pictures of rifle cartridges while falsely explaining the largest one was “heat-seeking,” designed to chase its target.
The list of similar videos is seemingly endless with people fancying themselves as “experts” without a single one evident. Rather than proving any points they were attempting to make, they only proved they were not very bright or even capable of formulating cogent thoughts.
Fact seven: These evidenced nitwits would do well to stop feigning knowledge for half-baked, cherry-picked statements. But if you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with BS.
