Sol Wachtler, a former chief judge of New York state, was once quoted as saying that district attorneys could get a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich,” due to their untoward influence over the jury’s decision-making process.

So, in light of the Manhattan grand jury that indicted former President Donald J. Trump on Thursday, one GOP congressman decided to hand out “Indict this!” ham sandwiches at the U.S. Capitol on Friday.

On Thursday, Congressman Barry Moore (R-AL), tweeted, “Welcome to the club, @realDonaldTrump. In honor of the fact that the Manhattan DA could indict a ham sandwich next, I will be handing them out tomorrow in Longworth 1504 at noon. All are welcome!”

It wasn’t all a joke. Moore really did have ham sandwiches waiting for anybody who wanted one.

“The sandwiches are ready!” he tweeted alongside a photo of his sandwiches. “Hope to see you soon in Longworth 1504.”

The congressman also told Fox News that he believes Trump needs the support of Republicans for the sake of the country.

“We must stand against the weaponization of our judicial system!” he tweeted.

It’s unclear who went to Moore’s sandwich shindig, but suffice it to say, President Joe Biden wasn’t in attendance.

For one thing, he claims to be Roman Catholic, which would mean he shouldn’t be eating meat on Fridays during Lent. Secondly, he told reporters multiple times that he had “no comment” about the matter.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, for his part, has accused House Republicans of “political interference” for their criticism and investigation into his office. Moore is lucky that Bragg didn’t show up in person; he might have eaten a Trumpian amount of ham sandwiches.

Moore must be of Irish descent because this is some pretty dark humor if you think about it. The Irish would call it “gallows humor,” as they developed quite a sense of comedy amidst hundreds of years of oppression. Making fun of the situation with witty humor was the only way they could survive in hopeless circumstances.

Let’s hope that Bragg hasn’t ushered in a hopeless America where “equal justice under the law” really goes to die.

President Joe Biden’s border crisis is so bad that illegal aliens are even dying at the United States’ northern border.

On Friday, The New York Times reported that eight individuals, including one small child, were found dead in the St. Lawrence River. Officials are saying that it was a group of two families from Romania, as well as Indian nationals, attempting to cross into the U.S. from Canada.

“This shows that people are desperate and that Canada and the United States need to do more to review the immigration processes in place,” Abram Benedict, the Grand Chief for the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, said. “It is sad that people want to find a better life and this is the tragedy that results.”

The news comes just weeks after The Daily Wire reported that illegal immigration is skyrocketing at the northern border.

Between October 1, 2022, and February 28 of this year, around 2,000 Mexican migrants illegally crossed the Swanton Sector, a 24,000-square-mile stretch of border between Canada, New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont, The Daily Wire noted. Authorities recorded only 200 such crossings during the same period the previous year.

Meanwhile, the southern border continues to be a gigantic sieve. In fiscal year 2022, border crossings cracked a record 2.7 million, per NBC News. That trend has continued into fiscal year 2023.

Of course, as Benedict said, reform is needed to solve this problem. Unfortunately, though, those policies will never happen under Biden. The sort of “reform” needed to stop this madness is a definitive declaration to the world that if you come here illegally, you will be deported. Talks of amnesty need to be taken off the table — as that only incentivizes more illegal aliens to come in hopes of being granted citizenship. Furthermore, those who do request asylum should be forced to wait in either Canada or Mexico as their asylum cases are heard.

Instead, illegal aliens who declare asylum are often released into the U.S. interior. They likely know that if they can make it through U.S. borders, they have a very decent chance under Biden that they will be allowed into the U.S. So long as that system is in place, it’s safe to say that the border crisis will only get worse — at both ends of the border. That means there will very likely be more of the sort of fatal tragedies that unfolded at the St. Lawrence River in the future.
