So claims President Trump when asked about his plans to jail criminal Democrats.
Suggestion: When this administration addresses the gross criminal injustices of the last four years, it should orient its policies around the true definitions of justice, vengeance, and retribution. God says in Deuteronomy 32:35 'Vengeance is Mine, and retribution..."
We don't make our own retribution, God does, and certainly not with "success," which means nothing at all.
The duty of the earthly, civil Chief Executive is to enforce God's laws and make certain that impartial justice is carried out swiftly. This too has Biblical origins. Ecclesiastes 8:11 states, "Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."
The lawless need to be justly punished, swiftly, and publicly so, or we will have no end of weaponized political lawfare, the dismantling of the Constitution, and the explosion of evil in the hearts of Americans.
A few weeks ago, an image went viral. In Belgium a migrant used the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to cook an omelette.

“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.”
“Beware of two errors: despising the world God sustains, or worshipping the culture He restrains.”
— Abraham Kuyper, Common Grace Vol. 1, Ch. 30
"[Successful NY Mayoral candidate] Mamdani built his campaign on the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA and its city allies can dispatch activists across New York and, with a network of progressive partner organizations, can mobilize young people, get out the vote, and do the work of door-to-door politics.
"We saw this dynamic many times in the twentieth century: socialists rise to power, their policies degrade the quality of life, and, as they enter the endgame, they tighten their grip on power and offload resentments onto their ideological, racial, and economic enemies.
"...the twentieth century taught us that left-wing voters have extraordinary defenses against reality."
-- Christopher Rufo
