HART: We Each Commit Three Felonies A Day, Deep State Lying In Wait for Trump

“Bart, we live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those ‘Police Academy’ movies? For fun? Well, I didn’t hear anybody laughing! Did you?”

— Homer Simpson to his son Bart

Harvard University professor Harvey Silverglate estimates that daily life in the United States is so over-criminalized that the average American professional commits about three felonies a day.

The reason each of us commits a felony (plus) a day is that we are becoming a country of too many laws. Lots and lots of laws, layered upon each other with perpetual ambiguity. And it seems we keep adding to the laws that we have, thus making government larger and more unaccountably powerful with each bill the president signs. Enacting more laws, laws that even lawyers cannot understand, makes Americans less free.

About 90 percent of D.C. workers (lousy with government employees) are Democrats. Democrats win there with over 91% of the vote. It is so bad there that they don’t even have to cheat.

In the hands of a Deep State lawyer, a Washington D.C. grand jury can be made to “indict a ham sandwich.” And in the eyes of the left, no one is a bigger ham than Donald J. Trump.

Washington, D.C. is all about big government and politics. Crime and government abound in D.C. Neighboring states like Virginia are not yet polluted by Democrat bureaucracy-bullying. Not since the Battle of Bull Run have Virginians been so well advised to stay on their side of the river.

While sad and yet predictable, Deep State actors think they again have found something for which they can arrest Donald Trump. They overstep the bounds of reason — and probably the law — to desperately try to find one crime of the three we all commit daily to “get” the former president. He has been the Road Runner to their Wile E. Coyote for years. This 30-person, FBI, guns-drawn raid of Trump’s home is a sad day for America.

When a problem happens in this country, legislators from both parties run to the microphones, wag their fingers with amazement that it occurred, blame the other party, and announce another law that they are going to pass or an agency they will start. Most of the time, it just makes the matter worse. The Affordable Care Act was not affordable, the Patriot Act was not patriotic, and the Inflation Reduction Act will not reduce inflation.

Sure, I would like to remove that pesky tag from my pillow, but that is forbidden by federal law. So, I sleep each night, in my own home, with a pillow that I paid for, trying to keep that tag from scratching my head. I don’t need trouble. I also dream of the day that I can tape a baseball game “without the express written consent of Major League Baseball.”

Not long ago, a non-compliant Pentagon general was punished for committing adultery. In military law, adultery is a felony. In Congress it is mandatory. Even Kim Kardashian had a guy arrested under some privacy law violation exposure of her. This from a woman whose driver’s license picture is a nude selfie. In the case of this trumped-up case on Trump, the FBI and the DOJ teamed up to let this clearly political search warrant go through. Suddenly, Law Enforcement in D.C. is concerned that a document might be missing from the National Archives? The rogue FBI leaders at the top, so political that they are irreparably damaging the reputations of the FBI rank and file, were giddy about this raid. Seeing 30 agents with guns raid Mar-A-Lago created the most joy an FBI head has seen since J. Edgar Hoover found a handbag and matching heels he liked on sale. They even went through Melania’s closet, perhaps for a nice dress for the J. Edgar Hoover Smithsonian exhibit.

Or maybe when we all push back, the FBI will say that it was just a good, old fashioned, college frat boy panty raid on Melania’s closet. Let’s be clear. Law enforcement has not: raided Hunter Biden’s Secret Service-protected, $50k-a-month compound in Malibu, California or the Clinton Foundation or Hillary’s “bleach bit” servers; investigated Rep. Eric Swalwell’s relationship with the Chinese spy he slept with; or investigated any of the Dems paraded to Epstein Island.

The FBI needs to raid Hillary Clinton’s home in Chappaqua to see if there are any signs that Bill Clinton ever slept there.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
