JD FOSTER: Painful Dose Of Reality Only Known Treatment For Political IRS

When a patient presents a pattern, a persistent psychosis, the ailment deserves a name.  For modern Democrats, call it Inconvenient Reality Syndrome, or IRS.

Consider the recent “No Kings” rallies. The Left claims President Donald Trump exhibits authoritarian tendencies – acting the king – when he applies the law as written, yet the Left accepted without a murmur that Joe Biden is ignoring the law. We’re speaking of his rankly political student loan forgiveness and open border policies, of course. King Joe?

But Biden’s monarchical habits went further. It is no surprise the term “lawfare” gained currency during his blessedly single term as he led the Left up and down the political scales in attacking Donald Trump with spurious legal claims.

While the Left’s opposition to Trump is serious, their behaviors are anything but. Prancing around in costumes sporting signs calling for the Epstein files to be released while Biden sat on said files for four years is truly odd. Waving other signs sporting such vagaries as “science” and “democracy” are equally so.

Do the protestors stand for anything beyond opposing Trump? It’s hard to tell from their signage.

A telltale symptom of IRS sufferers is blaming others for their own failures. Take Illinois’ Democratic Gov. JB (Biscuits) Pritzker. When Jose Medina, a Venezuelan illegal, gunned down Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman recently, Pritzker blamed Trump.

Apprehended by border patrol and released by Biden in 2023, the illegal made his way to Immigration and Customs Enforcement-resistant sanctuary city Chicago. Pritzker implicitly acknowledges the illegal was bad news by insisting Gorman’s death was Trump’s fault because Trump failed “to go after the worst of the worst” in his deportations. Resist ICE and then blame Trump for Sheridan’s murder for not being vigorous in deporting illegals; classic IRS.
