“Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” Amos
Everyone yearns for justice, and if you’ve been paying attention to social media lately, calls for accountability—aimed at those who stole elections, fabricated the Russia-collusion hoax, lied about COVID, and more—are everywhere. The demand is visceral—People want to see evildoers brought low.
Many blame public figures for the lack of arrests. Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and others are castigated daily for perceived inaction. Let me say from the outset, that the intent of this article is not to criticize, but to stir our public servants to action and invite them to include Parents Demanding Justice Alliance (PDJA) and the People’s Tribune Council into bringing a solution for the People still awaiting justice. More on that later.
I share the frustration many are feeling— especially as one of the corrupt Garland DOJ’s top “domestic terrorist” school-parent targets—I do want to see evildoers get their comeuppance. And while the Biden administration had arrested and ruined thousands of Americans by the end of his first year, the first year of this administration has seen virtually nothing done to make these people whole, despite multiple petitions of grievances.
As regular contributor, Madame Publius wrote to me recently, reflecting that zeitgeist:
“The DOJ refuses to prosecute any politician for fraud, insider trading, pedophilia, and murder. Many of those politicians start out, as Hillary did, “dead broke” and in debt. Yet, somehow, they are able to increase their portfolios by millions of dollars within a very short period of time all the while being so-called “public servants.”
The Deep State stole elections, allowed criminals and terrorists to flood into our country, persecuted and prosecuted moms and dads at local school board meetings thereby destroying their lives, prosecuted and jailed innocent J6 protestors destroying their lives as well, but there has not been one single, solitary Deep State arrest in a year’s time.
Biden’s DOJ had already arrested and jailed hundreds of J6ers by this same time in his presidency. The only ones “held accountable” are the honest, hard-working citizens who get served severe sentences from shady, activist judges, and it doesn’t even matter if you’re a 70-year-old, Gold Star Mom trying to expose that corruption. Now that the corruption is finally becoming more and more apparent to the average American, misdirection has become the DOJ’s weapon of choice.
The elites are not held accountable either as the rampant fraud, corruption, and the Epstein cover-up continues. It’s all talk and no action.”
“Therefore because you trample on the poor and you exact taxes of grain from him…I know how many are your transgressions and how great are your sins…” Amos
I agree wholeheartedly with this indictment, and through Parents Demanding Justice and the new People’s Tribune Council, I’m working with experienced Patriots to demand accountability. But there is another side of justice that is even more crucial—and far more eternal—than punishment alone: making the victims of injustice whole and restoring their families.
Most Americans know John Adams’ famous warning: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” But what does that actually mean in practice?
Moral people do the right thing. As the prophet Micah put it plainly: “to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”
Religion is not defined by church attendance, devotionals, or pious talk. James defines “pure and undefiled religion”: “to visit orphans and widows in their trouble.”
“Faith without works is dead,” according to James —and so, it turns out, are nations. Our Republic has been given a second chance, plucked from the jaws of destruction at perhaps the most precarious time in its history. But, if we deny justice to those who have been oppressed, our nation will not likely be given a third chance but rather, fall into judgment.
Many believers miss a key reason why the ancient city of Sodom was destroyed under God’s judgment, and it wasn’t what most people think. “Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.”
Jesus’ warning that it would be “more tolerable for Sodom” in the judgment is explicitly about the fate of nations, not merely individual sinners (and, yes, that society was filled with perversity). He directs this rebuke at entire cities that possessed moral knowledge, religious institutions, and abundance yet still refused repentance, mercy, and justice.
Both the salvation of individuals and the judgment of nations hinge on justice in action. Individuals—and certainly their political representatives—are expected, as Paul wrote, to look out “not only for their own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Scripture does not treat this as a side issue. (How far from that is our self-dealing, insider-trading, corrupt legislature!)
Jesus Himself made this criteria unmistakable. In Matthew 25:31–46, He teaches that neglecting the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, and the imprisoned carries eternal consequences.
“Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees…to turn aside the needy from justice…What will you do on the day of punishment, in the ruin that will come from afar?” Isaiah
Those condemned are not accused of violence or cruelty, but of omission—of refusing to act. They are told to “depart” into “eternal fire,” while the righteous “inherit the kingdom.”
Isaiah issued the same warning to a corrupt nation, centuries earlier: “Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean…Cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.”
That is true justice, more so than the “vengeance theater” of perp walks and trials. Widespread action (beyond words) to restore the innocent, repair families, and prove that righteousness is sorely needed in our nation today.
Sam Sorbo and I have asked Weaponization Working Group Chief Ed Martin, along with Harmeet Dhillon—and many others in government—to recognize their duty to restore the “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness” to parents whose lives and livelihoods were destroyed by DOJ persecution over the last five years. They are overworked and understaffed and still encumbered by Deep State holdovers.
Yet, they have somehow found time to pardon disgraced congressman George Santos and others in the political class you and I are not a part of—even while falsely convicted Americans await justice. President Trump’s cabinet needs to understand the effect these optics have on Americans outside the Beltway still suffering unresolved persecution and loss.
So, I say to those entrusted with administering justice for the people who voted this administration into place: you must operate in righteousness, morality, and the essence of true religion, and you must apply justice equally—without favoring the wealthy and famous.
Pam Bondi acted immediately on the vandalism of Elon Musk’s Tesla dealerships, yet thousands of small business owners driven out of business by COVID fraud, incarcerated unjustly for walking in the Capitol or standing up as a school meeting are left defenseless and penniless.
By and large, the “common people” have been ignored while the “elite”—those in the inner circles—receive red-carpet treatment. Justice should not be for “members only,” or expedited for those with wealth and influence, yet that is a widespread perception.
The same transparency and accountability must apply to an ordinary mom or dad as to a billionaire, or else the Republic’s pledge of “liberty and justice for all” is meaningless.
Our Republic was “conceived in Liberty”; it was meant to be a government of, for, and by the people, not a system prioritizing justice for the powerful. If justice looks past the people to serve the elite, freedom becomes a gated privilege—and a Republic becomes an oligarchy.
America is better than that, and it’s time we proved it.
