In our opinion, as well as the opinion of many others, including the Democratic Party, Joe Biden’s performance tonight was nothing short of atrocious. The contrast between him and President Trump was stark and undeniable. Biden appeared confused, frequently freezing up, and losing his train of thought, often mumbling incoherent statements that left the audience bewildered. On the other hand, Trump was as sharp as a tack, answering every question with clarity and directness, particularly on sensitive issues like abortion and the election outcome.
The disparity in their performances was so pronounced that it seemed almost deliberate. Biden looked and sounded feeble, confused, and utterly pathetic, whereas Trump exuded strength and readiness, embodying the qualities of a true leader.
Given the sheer clarity and obviousness of this contrast, we are going to make a bold prediction: the September 10 debate between Trump and Biden will never happen. The Democratic Party will likely introduce a new candidate. However, this scenario is fraught with complications. For one, Joe Biden would have to agree to step aside, and there’s the looming possibility of Kamala Harris ascending to the presidency. As many of us are aware, Harris is even more unpopular than Biden within her own party and across the nation.
The upcoming months promise to be intriguing, but rest assured, Biden will not be the Democratic candidate come November.
Once again, this man who is supposed to be our commander-in-chief has embarrassed our country.
At this point we are not even angry anymore. We are worried, not only for our country, but for Biden’s health and safety. This is bordering on elder abuse.
The Inflation Reduction Act is a ruse with an Orwellian name.
One day before federal agents raided Donald Trump’s home, Vice President Kamala Harris acting as tiebreaker for a deadlocked vote, helped the senate pass the $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Among the billโs planned expenditures are billions earmarked for battling climate change, as well as increasing the staff of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). On Friday, August 12, the House signed on too. Despite the promises and propaganda being touted by Democrats and other supporters of the IRA, this sweeping piece of spending – massive in scale andย scope – is simply the latest chess move in a sinister game where the radical transformation of the United States is taking precedence over solving a looming economic crisis.
The U.S. economy is at a dangerous tipping point. Forty-year high inflation is causing the average American household immense strain and small businesses to fold. Interest rate hikes, while necessary to counter out-of-control fiscal spending, are propelling us toward an even deeper recession. Rather than trying to tame inflation, those responsible for championing the IRA are using the same fiscally irresponsible approach that has contributed to our current economic woes. Deceptive legislation aimed at inflation and climate change will combat neither. Politicians are cheating us again and we are letting them. If you haven’t been paying attention, our freedoms cramp at the governmentโs style and those freedoms are under attack. At every turn, those in power circumvent or simply ignore the freedoms granted by the Constitution of the United States to impose what they perceive to be their superior intellect and virtue on the rest of us. This bill is another example of a shady backroom deal designed by people beholden to a donor class who think they know what you need and corporations who never had your best interests at heart.
To some degree, our public policy has always shaped our personal finances, but the malfeasance at work today is vastly different than anything we have previously encountered. The things that safeguard our way of life – our prosperity, our ability to provide an equitable standard of living for ourselves and our families – are being derailed by people who crave power and want to control the rest of us.
When does it stop? How do we fix the problems when the people who caused the problems are still making decisions for the rest of us? The answer is not as complicated as it may seem. Stop electing officials who don’t believe in the American way! Trumpโs America First policy is a winning policy and putting our interests first doesn’t mean we can’t still be an integral part of the global community. America has always lead the way, but now we are lagging.
The New Left wants you to believe we live in a world that doesn’t require borders, police, guns, or a strong military. They want you to believe in a system that rewards everyone, especially those who don’t try to be productive. They want you to believe that violent criminals need mental health programs instead of prison or incarceration. They want you to believe that gender is a construct but at the same time expect you to shut up and “follow the science” as it relates to everything else. They want you to believe their policies work while asking you to ignore the facts and the statistics that say otherwise. They want you to own nothing – and still be happy!
The notion that America may be in the stages of decline is not a new idea. Several intellectuals have argued that our decline began shortly after the end of World War II, although most agree the most significant shift occurred sometime in the early seventies when the rise of academic Marxism, extremist political economies, and critical cultural studies began tearing at the fabric of American ideals. In 2016, when Donald Trump selected โMake America Great Againโ as his campaign mantra, the implication became clear to generations of Americans who had not been privy to the subject of American decline as academic discourse. America was no longer great, at least not as great as it had once been, and measures would need to be taken to restore our economic stability, national security, and manufacturing and energy independence. And if Trumpโs stunning presidential win showed us anything itโs that even when political roadblocks are overcome and new ideas are installed, implementing policy changes in a now corrupt and broken system not controlled by the people for the people but by career politicians, special interest groups, bureaucrats, media companies, and the super-rich, was going to be an uphill battle.
How did we get here? And is Donald Trumpโs dream to โMake America Great Againโ even fully possible in a country that elected a man like Joe Biden to commandeer our future and our interests and the interests of our children? When younger and younger generations of Americans are being taught to believe the American experiment has outlived its usefulness and itโs time for a radical reboot, how can we expect to reverse course if we canโt convince our own citizens that what we had and have is still the most viable path forward? These are polarizing questions and there are no simple answers, but what has become more and more clear is that neither Republicans nor Democrats seem 100% capable of running the show.
While thousands die and war rages in Ukraine, and China seriously contemplates a similar invasion of Taiwan, and our allies ponder their geopolitical futures as well as the liberty and safety of their citizens, we continue to fight amongst ourselves. It has been 156 years since the Civil War ended and nearly 70 years since the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, yet we continue to promote this idea that America has not evolved at all. This idea of an active and pervasive inherent racism or prejudice, once solely reserved for African Americans, is now everywhere. The belief is expanding to include perceived marginalized people of all kinds despite the historic successes achieved for equality under the law not only for African Americans, but for women, gays, and trans people too.
We are not a perfect country, but this strife and conflict is an insidious distraction perpetrated by the internal and external enemies of American democracy. Itโs making us weaker as a nation, less safe, and less smart. While our kids are Keeping up with the Kardashians and we bicker about race, gender identity, and critical race theory, a truly dangerous threat is growing all around us. Today, itโs more money at the gas pump or a few innocuous supply chain issues. A year from now, itโs food shortages and life-saving medications that are not available. If you think sketchy leaders and failed leadership policies donโt have the ability to cripple our economy or even annihilate life as we know it, think again. We are at a precipice. How we choose to govern ourselves and what we decide is truly importantnow may very well seal our fate as a nation. And if God forbid, we fail, what may eventually unite us is despondencyโthe despondency we feel when we realize we donโt recognize and may not be able to survive the system they put in play while we werenโt paying attention.
