The Tragedy That Is America Today

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

God love them, many Americans are ignorant about politics, which has been true for generations.  Understandably they are focused on their day-to-day lives, and how to put food on their tables and a roof over their heads, and find schools that will educate their children.  Many have not moved far from where they were born and raised, and they have never traveled abroad.  But they have a gut and abiding sense about what is right and wrong.

Two tsunamis hit all of us: China’s Covid pandemic, and Brain Dead Joe Biden’s presidency.  Like whirlwinds, these two events turned things upside down.  Jobs were lost; businesses were shuttered; and lives were changed forever.  China has never paid reparations, much less in the trillions of dollars that are owed globally[2]; and waiting in the wings for Biden to croak are Willie Brown’s former ho Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi’s California uber-Leftist relation Gavin Newsom.[3]

The Biden-Harris presidency has been a disaster of monumental proportions.  Our borders have been flung wide open, encouraging the cartels to bring China’s Fentanyl and other killer drugs into the country.[4]  Human trafficking has become the norm; and the tragedies have been unspeakable.[5]  There is nothing positive about the Biden-Harris presidency; and the hierarchy of the “progressive” Democrats know this better than anyone.[6]

Organized religion has been a threat to Biden, Pelosi and their ilk, who have masqueraded as devotees.  Even America’s smallest religions have been threatened; for example, as anti-Semitism has risen nationally and globally.  Yet, the sowers of evil will reap a whirlwind—or their just “rewards,” which are coming.  The pendulum swings, and it is moving now.

Lots Of American Voters Aren’t Wedded To Either Political Party, And May Boycott Both

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

I began as a Democrat in a devoutly-Republican, Southern California family, because of John F. Kennedy.  Indeed, I was in Los Angeles’ Coliseum when he gave his acceptance speech at the 1960 Democratic Convention, even though I was not old enough to vote.  Years later, I passed up a chance to return to a prestigious law firm in San Francisco because I thought service to my country was the right thing to do.[2]

I spent two years at the Pentagon as an Army officer assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency, and then pounded the corridors of Capitol Hill, trying to find a job, which I did.  It was heady work, with some of the political giants of the times.[3]  But there was and is a seedy side to American politics, which equaled or surpassed what happened in Hollywood (or Los Angeles) where I grew up.[4]

When I left the U.S. Senate, I concluded that the Democrats were “evil” but smart, while the Republicans were “Neanderthals” and dumb.[5]  Hence, I became an Independent and have been one ever since.  The Kennedy men, I learned, were evil—with essentially no redeeming qualities.  And the Democrats have rigged elections, including JFK’s in 1960.[6]

They have targeted their Republican opponents unmercifully, including Richard Nixon with Watergate, Ronald Reagan with Iran Contra, and Donald Trump—who has been attacked from Day One of his quest for political office.  And the Republicans are too stupid or inept to stop them.  We have Brain Dead Joe Biden in the White House, with Willie Brown’s former ho Kamala Harris waiting in the wings for him to croak, yet the Republicans seem unwilling or impotent to jettison them.[7]

What both political parties don’t appreciate, much less fathom fully, is that Americans don’t need either political party.  Lots of us stopped voting for Democrats years ago; and as we see the “vested interests” in the GOP targeting Trump, it is very easy for us to abstain from voting altogether.  The problem is that by defaulting, the Democrats become the victors, in perpetuity.  Therein lies the rub.  Another factor is that the Democrats might have gotten crushed except for young voters who were swayed by the abortion issue, and tragically have supported Infanticide.[8]

Meanwhile, Brain Dead Joe takes his pathetic “victory lap” globally, conceding that China owns Taiwan, just as he ceded Afghanistan to the Taliban.[9]  The GOP needs to dump Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy as leaders.  They are feckless at best.[10]  And never underestimate Donald Trump, nor discount the possibility that he will return to the presidency.  The always-despicable Democrats, the “vested interests” in the GOP, and their fellow travelers will try to convince you otherwise.[11]

Dump Brain Dead Joe, McCarthy, Pelosi and their ilk, and Republicans like Karl Rove who gave us the Iraq War—in which more than 5,000 Americans died and many more were maimed for life, and staggering amounts of money were wasted for nothing—and never trust any of them.

Have American Voters Indicted The GOP?

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

“Republicans In Shock” was one of the headlines at the once-conservative and bellwether Drudge website.[2]  Another was “Fox News Freaks,” which aptly describes the reaction by most at the largely-conservative news network’s roundtable of its anchors and invited guests.  This brings to mind the folk tale about Chicken Little, who believes the world is coming to an end, and proclaims: “The sky is falling.”[3]

Political pundit and former Clinton adviser Dick Morris says nonsense.  The Republicans have made enormous progress; and Donald Trump has made all the difference.  Without him, none of this would have been possible.[4]

When I left the U.S. Senate, I concluded that the Democrats were “evil” but smart, while the Republicans were “Neanderthals” and dumb.  This was the resounding message or takeaway from Tuesday’s national elections, and why I have been an Independent for so many years.[5]

Tragically, we live in a Kardashian nation where bimbos can become billionaires; organized religion is despised, and God is honored in the breach; human lives are devalued, with abortions on demand—or Infanticide—being championed; and Brain Dead Joe Biden in the White House, with Kamala Harris waiting in the wings for him to croak.

Our allies don’t understand or respect us, while our enemies—principally Xi Jinping in China, Russia’s butcher Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un—are moving globally like chess masters to weaken if not destroy us. In short, the inmates are in charge of the asylum; and the GOP’s predicted “red wave” did not materialize . . . although Donald Trump’s endorsed candidates were very successful.

American politics seems to reside in the status quo; and one wonders whether Donald Trump can breath life into its body and soul before the 2024 presidential elections.  His “MAGA” or “Make America Great Again” followers have to be dispirited.  And the Trump haters are dancing with joy, believing that he may be indicted and fade into the rear-view mirror of history.

Like Mark Twain, the reports of his death and political demise may be an exaggeration and premature.[6]  Like Lazarus, he may rise from the grave.[7]  Those who wish the worst for Trump, and believe he is a crass opportunist, may find themselves on the wrong side of history.  He and Mark Twain may have the last laugh; and may not be consigned to the ash heap of history.

In the interim, the midterm elections are essentially over; and Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and their thoroughly-evil Democrats must be counted as losers.  While in the vernacular of the surfing world, it wasn’t known as “wipeout”—a red wave did engulf them.  By all reckoning, they did lose control of the House of Representatives; and yes, it’s an opportune time to gloat and for “payback,” after everything they have put our great country and all Americans through.[8]

Many of us began as Democrats, and are enraged by how our former party has become so radicalized.  Perhaps George Orwell described it best in his prescient Animal Farm, when he wrote about the takeover by the Pigs, and how they subjugated the other animals.[9]  Clearly, the Pigs today—or the uber-Leftists, “Progressives” and eco-Nazis—must be obliterated, never to rise again.[10]

Every single policy change that they initiated after stealing the 2020 election from Donald Trump must be reversed and eliminated forever.  Their lackeys in the media who covered for them and became co-conspirators, via “Fake News,” must be fired.  Elon Musk threw out the number of 75 percent with respect to Twitter’s staff.  It must be decimated.[11]  At America’s corrupt “Department of Justice” and FBI, the housecleaning must be complete and unprecedented.[12]

This leads to a discussion of 2024, and who will represent each of America’s two major political parties.  California’s Governor Gavin Newsom, who is related to Nancy Pelosi, may lead the Democrats’ list.  But his star is fading, inter alia, because of his wife’s links to Harvey Weinstein.[13]  Donald Trump is expected to run again, perhaps with Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis as his running mate, which may be formidable and unbeatable.

All of this is occurring against the backdrop of a possible nuclear confrontation, which might destroy the United States.  This too is a direct result of Joe Biden’s mental incapacity, and criminality.[14]  Where is God in the midst of such changes, and what so many perceive as utter chaos and Godlessness?[15]

[10]  Joe Biden must be impeached and removed from the presidency.  Aside from his obvious mental incapacities, he is a criminal and must be treated as such.

See, e.g., https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11368895/President-Biden-claims-FIFTY-FOUR-states-concerns-age-continue-mount.html (“Sure about that, Joe?

Obviously, what to do about Kamala Harris is the next order of business.  She is pathetic, and the laughingstock of the world.

See, e.g., https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/10/republicans-investigate-possible-impeachment-joe-biden/671859/  (“The Impeachment of Joe Biden”)

This article is weak, but it discusses many of the relevant issues.  Among those that are implicit is Jim Jordan’s role as a future Speaker, replacing Kevin McCarthy and Nancy Pelosi.

Groups such as J Street, which champion reconciliation between the Palestinians and the Israelis, have become de facto arms of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), or “DNC-lite.”  They preach hatred of Donald Trump, the MAGA (or “Make America Great Again”) movement, and Republicans; and they desperately try to avoid becoming irrelevant and losing their fund-raising capabilities.

Whatever the truth about Paul Pelosi’s sexual preferences and proclivities, it’s indisputable that he made millions from Nancy’s position as Speaker; and he was caught by the police in Napa, California with alcohol and drugs.

California Is A Mess, And Its State Bar Remains The Most Odious Trade Association In America

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Many Americans hate California with a passion, and would not be saddened if it broke off from the Union and drifted out to sea.[2]  There is a recall movement to get rid of its Governor Gavin Newsom, who is related to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.[3]  The state’s two principal cities, Los Angeles and San Francisco, are awash in crime.[4]  And who can forget the killing of Kate Steinle at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf by an illegal alien, who had been released from incarceration multiple times.[5]

I grew up in the suburbs of LA, a mile or so west of the UCLA campus in Westwood; and I have fond memories of those days, and of the public schools that I attended.  Some of my classmates were scions of famous Hollywood and industrial families, or became famous on their own.[6]  Others came from humble beginnings.  Yet, we were all friends.  I was repulsed by the elitism of private schools and private clubs that discriminate.  Today, I have been told that the quality of public school education has deteriorated—even before the Coronavirus pandemic lockdowns[7]—which is sad.

After law school at Berkeley and before relocating to Washington, D.C.—to serve as an Army officer at the Pentagon, and work in the U.S. Senate[8]—I took and passed the arduous California Bar examination on the first try.  I was very proud of that fact.  Yet, for too long to remember, I have been ashamed to be a member of what is surely the most odious trade association of its kind in the United States.[9]  Like so much of California’s body politics, the State Bar of California has been infected from top to bottom, and must be eliminated completely.  It does not serve the best interests of Californians, much less the state’s minorities.[10]

Even more critically, some of its tactics and actions are heavy-handed, vicious, duplicitous and fascist; and the moral equivalents of authoritarian regimes—or Stasi “police state” in their nature, which destroyed countless lives and crushed the human spirit.  In his prescient “Animal Farm,” George Orwell wrote about how all of the animals were equal until the Pigs reigned supreme and subjugated the other animals.[11]

Having been effectively put out of business when Pete Wilson was California’s Governor, the State Bar has come roaring back with a vengeance.[12]  It is worse than ever, trying to suppress legitimate criticism, and free speech and expression.  Each of us must be true to ourselves; and if necessary, fight against such injustices, oppression, and ravenous and rabid abuse—and the “gotcha” or “cancel” culture that is vindictive and engages in “witch hunts” and harassment, to intimidate, silence and destroy Americans.[13]

[13]  The author is very proud of his distinguished career, and his impressive and tangible accomplishments.  For example, he has helped millions of Americans (see, e.g., Timothy D. Naegele Resume-21-8-6).  This may have fueled jealousies at the State Bar.  None of its employees have accomplished anything of significance.  They are a group of pygmies (or Pigs), or insufferable wastrels, all of whom should be fired summarily.  See supra notes 9 & 11.

The fact that these governmental losers and failed civil servants would waste their time contacting the author, when the Coronavirus’ “Delta variant” mutation is surging and attacking Los Angeles in particular (see, e.g., supra n.7), speaks volumes about them and the need to justify their existences (and salaries) as State Bar employees in the midst of the pandemic.  How brazen and cowardly, at the very least—pathetic but predictable; heavy-handed thugs who are the moral equivalents of Jimmy Hoffa’s Teamsters, trying to deprive people of their liberties, and carrying out a vendetta against the author for having the gall or chutzpah to ever challenge them.

Contrariwise, the author has never been accused of malpractice; and he has always done his very best.  In retrospect, he might not have represented and tried to help Californians in an Internet fraud lawsuit against Guthy-Renker.  Even though he proved fraud, a now-retired and incompetent U.S. District Judge (who is attempting to find work as an arbitrator) decided against his clients in 2002, almost 20 years ago; and they came after him.

First, they did so criminally by persuading the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. to bring an 11-count federal indictment against him.  Because he had done nothing wrong, he was vindicated completely in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.  See Case 1:05-cr-00151-PLF; PACER Docket Sheet entry 301 (“It is hereby ORDERED that the defendant, Timothy D. Naegele, is acquitted, discharged, and any bond exonerated”); see also https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2012/03/21/the-united-states-department-of-injustice/ (“The United States Department of Injustice”)

Not satisfied, his former clients sought recourse civilly in California.  Indeed, California arbitrators and its courts were only too happy to oblige, inter alia, ignoring binding law nationally in the process.  Next, the former clients sought his disbarment in California, essentially for having lost their civil lawsuit against Guthy-Renker.  This sends a chilling message loud and clear to every California lawyer or would-be lawyer that the loss of one lawsuit can destroy or tarnish an otherwise-successful legal career.

Given the arduous path that must be taken to become a lawyer, clearly the profession is not worth the risks for a myriad of reasons, at least in California.  Many of these issues are discussed in greater depth and detail in the author’s previous article about the State Bar, which has been read by more than 10,000.  See supra n.9; see also https://news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-practice/devastating-anxiety-as-remote-bar-exam-tech-crashes-again (“‘Devastating’ Anxiety as Remote Bar Exam Tech Crashes Again”) and https://www.wsj.com/articles/law-school-student-debt-low-salaries-university-miami-11627991855 (“Law School Loses Luster as Debts Mount and Salaries Stagnate”) and https://www.abajournal.com/web/article/technical-problems-again-plague-remote-bar-examinees-who-blame-software-provider (“Technical problems again plague remote bar examinees, who blame software provider”) 

Since being admitted to the State Bar in 1966, the author handled very few matters in California, and less than a handful for individual clients.  He is not practicing law in California, nor holding himself out as doing so, but he is attacked and threatened anyway.

Lastly, it appears that the State Bar contacted the author on behalf of:

(1) a disgraced lawyer who had been disbarred by the State Bar because, inter alia, “the State Bar Court noted that she was charged with ’26 counts of professional misconduct for her involvement in a scheme to defraud distressed homeowners, including at least 13 of her clients’—and with ‘pocketing about $177,000 between August 2009 and November 2010 without having to provide any legal services'”; 

(2) her California lawyer who suborned perjury with respect to testimony before the State Bar, and his troubled history with the State Bar began before his admission to the Bar (see supra n.9 [note 4 therein & https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-07-25-vw-1012-story.html]), but he has never been disbarred or prosecuted, or held accountable for his abuses;

or (3) their surrogate(s) or agent(s). 

Despite repeated requests, the State Bar has refused to disclose and/or confirm such information to the author.  At the very least, this underscores the lawlessness of its employees, who are tantamount to jackals in pursuit of their prey to stay alive . . . and stay employed, while operating from remote locations  (“telecommuting”), “[d]ue to the Covid-19 pandemic.”  They want the author to deny his accomplishments.  It will not happen.
