In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Understanding the Wheels of Justice

The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine....or so it's written. If it was a grist mill, the amount of corn being turned into corn meal wouldn't keep a rat alive. Somewhere, in the preponderance of justice, most all attorneys, judges, and prosecutors forgot justice isn't served if those harmed are bankrupted, or die of old age before justice happens.

Dealing With Those on Their High Horse

I get tired of the condescending airs of too many people that have a duty to be honest, competent, and have an integrity to match their important positions. The media is one of the worst places to find these people. Supposed journalists, with their subverted education, have unrealistic views of anyone other than their peers, fail in their duty to factually describe their findings, have a disrespect for those that don't follow their narrative, or expose their shortcomings, and pontificate on opinions that are beyond their duty. 

Politicians are another. They ignore their constituents, lavish taxpayer gifts on their promoters, and fail to do the simplest of required tasks, such as balancing their budget. In their minds, we're supposed to defer to them, regardless of how feckless, dishonest, and crooked they are. 

Judges may be the worst. The law allows them drag their feet, place extreme financial burdens on the innocent, allow attorneys to make a mockery of the judicial system, ignore Constitutional mandates, and do so with the knowledge they are failing to provide everyone with the same rights. Simple legal proceedings require more money than many people have available, and the result is they're defeated before they ever have a chance. When you add the groups that subvert the judicial system with frivolous tort, and the judges don't throw them out of their courtroom, it's not hard to fathom how people become very wary of the legal system.

It appears some things are changing. Judges are being scrutinized, which is important. They have specific tasks and those wandering from their jobs should be taken to task for their errors. Legal relief shouldn't be only for the rich, or for those financed by groups with money provided by those that want to destroy the United States. That, and it shouldn't take years to solve many problems. 

The legacy media is faltering, which is a good sign. There needs to be integrity in news reporting, and a realization multiple sources of good information are more important than favorite news channels. There are good news sources, and they should be consulted instead of relying on the legacy media, or social media posts.

Politicians always have been a untrustworthy group. Finding the good ones is like digging through horse manure for grains of corn. As a group, they've proven they fail in the most important of tasks, and created more problems than they solve. I don't see much of a change, but know if you throw enough of them in prison for their criminal actions, the rest may get a clue.

Probably Won't Reveal What People Want Revealed

Pam Bondi gave select reporters binders with information on Epstein. I'm sure there will be some revelations, but there won't be the "gotcha" information wanted by many. Why? If you were going to prosecute, releasing information of those facing prosecution will lead to a circus, civil suits, and a defense that will destroy any conviction. Those involved ( from what was gathered from the flight lists to Epstein's island), have resources, damning information on others, and prosecuting them will require evidence that can't be thrown out due to technicalities. It's a shame, but the opportunity to strike when the iron was hot is gone. 

Was there an intentional effort to keep powerful people from being prosecuted? That's a question that requires an answer. Avoiding the responsibility of stopping sex crimes involving minors is a crime that demands a severe punishment after conviction. This too will take time, since there are no convictions to use as evidence against those that covered for the crime. It's a mess, will take a long time to prosecute, and those involved may not even be in the United States to face justice. When you add the years that passed, how time removes details of events, and how attorneys can twist facts to their advantage, the justice required may never happen. Some of those involved may not want to be dragged through the legal process and forcing them to appear in court as traumatic as the criminal event.

Ghislaine Maxwell knows much of what went on. Supposedly, she's still in prison, and has a ton of civil suits against her. Will she ever tell? That could be dangerous, and being in prison isn't as safe as some may think. (Ask Epstein...of that's right, you can't) She'll probably go to her grave never exposing those that should be in prison, but maybe she will. I doubt it.
