A Personal View of the Trump Indictment
I’m sure you’ve read enough about Donald Trump’s indictment on bogus charges. I just thought I’d give you a few personal observations.
1. Yesterday was 15 years since my father, John C. Seiler Sr., died at age 90. What a great man he was. The son of immigrants, he was a World War II veteran and, from 1960-85, a district judge in Michigan. He always was a patriot and great American. So much of his beliefs remain with me, especially on the law. As he faded away, he used say, “I’m glad I’m not going to see what’s coming next.” Boy was he right about the last 15 years. He would have pegged this absurd Trump persecution for what is. If it ever had come before his bench, he would have thrown it out immediately on the merits, and berated the D.A. for even considering it.
2. I’m going to do my best never to get near New York City. Other than JFK airport, I was there once, in Oct. 1983. I like the energy, although I wouldn’t want to live there. It still was the violent hellhole depicted in “Death Wish” and other movies of the day. Giuliani cleaned it up in the 1990s. Mayor de Lousio wrecked it again over the last decade. Now this ludicrous, Soros-funded D.A., Alvin (don’t) Bragg, is making it even worse. You can keep it.
3. How many millions is Bragg spending on the Trump persecution, money that ought to be spent prosecuting real criminals?
4. Another place I’m going to avoid is Chicago, which just elected Bernie Sanders-backed lunatic Brandon Johnson (the other “Brandon”). Bernie lives in three houses in rich-people areas. And Congress, of course, is guarded by the massively armed Capitol Police. He doesn’t care if the actual people of Chicago suffer, and leave.
Johnson appeared on CBS Mornings to say he will reduce crime by increasing social spending and raising taxes on the rich.
That has failed for almost 60 years since LBJ’s Great Society giveaway programs. In fact, it’s the massive welfare that has destroyed the families of the poor, inflicting on them generations now of fatherlessness and criminality. But even if it new programs worked, it would take many years to get them up and running, as crime festered and more hundreds of thousands fled.
5. I live next to Los Angeles, where the D.A. is another Soros client. It’s another place to avoid.
6. I live in Orange County, where our D.A., Todd Spitzer, is quite good. He has tried to balance fighting crime with holding police accountable; not as much on the latter as I would like, but I voted for him twice. Unfortunately, the dead-head voters here now put a Democratic majority on the Board of Supervisors. They are intent on turning O.C. into L.A.
News accounts say it’s the first Dem majority in more than 40 years. True. But back then we had Truman-LBJ-type Democrats, not Biden-Newsom type insane Democrats. And until the late 1970s, public-employee unions had no collective bargaining powers; which they now use to rule and ruin the state. I’m not sure how long I can hold out here.
7. Of course, if you keep running, eventually the Dem national socialists catch up with you. Colorado used to be a beautiful, free state. Then California liberals, fleeing the wreckage they caused, ended up in the Rocky Mountain State and wrecked it, too. They’re doing that now to Idaho and Montana. On the positive side, I’m 67, so, wherever I go, or even stay here in OC, it’s not long before I end up in a veterans’ home and the liberals euthanize me.
