This blog is directed mainly at those people who voted for Democrats, Joe Biden in particular, in last November’s election. There are a lot of good people in this world who happen to fall into this category; most are Democrats, but there are also Republicans and Independents in the group. Many of these folks are far better people than myself; smarter, more successful, more humane. They are not bad people. They have simply done something that is very stupid. I have only one thing to say to you: This ish is on YOU.
I have been a frequent critic of ex-President Donald Trump. I enthusiastically embraced his policies; but I abhorred the man. If I could fly my flag (small f) without Trump’s name being on it, I would be one of the many who are still displaying 2020 campaign banners. I am solidly in the school of thought that would love to see Trump fade into the background and have a new set of Republican (or Democrat, or Independent) leaders step forward to pick up his policy initiatives. That would be best for the Republican Party. That would be best for our country.
On the other side of the street, we are less than a month into the Biden Administration and the detachment from reality is becoming more pronounced by the day. If you voted Joe Biden for President, YOU share in the credit for all of the lunacy that is flowing and will continue to flow from the White House and the Democrats in Congress. This bunch of idiots told you plainly what they were going to do and now they are doing it. Joe, Chuck, and Nancy are on the case.
If you have a job that is somehow involved with the American energy sector and voted for Biden … how do you like him now? The hard earned energy independence that was gained under Trump is slipping away, like gasoline evaporating in the summer sun. All of the economic and diplomatic benefits that flowed from that independence are going up in vapor. Gas and oil product prices are rising and will continue to do so. While you are looking for a new job winterizing windmills or selling your fishing boat so you can put gas in the truck to get to work, reflect once again on exactly what it was that compelled you to vote Biden. Windmills, solar panels, and lithium batteries … what do they all have in common? They all lead to prices that are higher than a cat’s back, they are all extremely inefficient, and they are all heavily subsidized by your tax dollars through a Democratic Congress.

If you have a grandmother, a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, or a granddaughter … think about how your Biden vote is shaping their future. There are only so many college scholarships available for female sports and if you have to choose between a 6’3” hairy-legged 230 pound young man that identifies himself as a girl and a 6’1” young lady that weighs about 185 soaking wet … who you gonna pick to play the “5” on your team? College sports is all about winning and if you think there won’t be guys taking advantage of this foolishness, then think again.
Like so many Democratic ideas, this one has not been thought through. Like the unintended consequences of gay marriage and where they might lead, so the trans-identification theory is fraught with peril. As I have written before, keep that in mind when you see the dude dressed like a lady follow your daughter into the public restroom. President Biden is completely on board with this madness. How crazy is this stuff: https://www.cnsnews.com/article/washington/melanie-arter/psaki-biological-males-competing-girls-sports-trans-rights-are
The nation of Iran is no doubt the world’s largest purveyor and exporter of terrorism. The Trump Administration policies had effectively brought the radical Iranian leaders to their knees and had severely limited their abilities to deliver a terror product to the global market. How is that going now that Biden is on the job? Never fear; the same guy that bartered the Iranian Nuclear Deal, replete with its pallet of cash bonus, is back on the job.
And you can forget about China making any changes to its blatant practices of intellectual theft, cyber espionage, genocidal treatment of its selected citizenry, and territorial appetite for expansion; they got one of the first phone calls from our new President. Jumping in bed with President Xi Jinping and wrecking the hard-won treaties between Israel and moderate Middle Eastern nations is a recipe for global disaster. Consider this: https://www.nysun.com/national/note-to-biden-your-hero-fdr-warned-of-appeasement/91417/ and this: https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-psaki-asked-if-israel-is-important-ally-of-u-s-she-doesnt-answer
Along with its flurry of Executive Orders that were rift with new governmental regulations, the Biden Administration is simply itching to mandate a $15 dollar hourly minimum wage. This fever persists in the Democratic community even though history, the business community, and noted economists from all walks of politics warn of its adverse effects. If you have a job that is currently paying below the $15 an hour level and have worked your way up to your current salary, you might be looking at a small pay increase … or you might be looking at losing your job. How in the world does dumping this irrational mandate on our business community at a time when it is reeling from the pandemic’s adverse effects make any sense? It doesn’t : https://www.americanactionforum.org/insight/examining-the-effects-of-raising-the-federal-minimum-wage-to-15/#:~:text=The%20Congressional%20Budget%20Office%2C%20for,and%20services%20across%20the%20economy.
With threats of terrorism a daily concern, with a global pandemic continuing to sweep across our nation as vaccine-delivery systems are tied in knots, and with our unemployment rate beginning to creep upward … how much sense does it make to open up our borders and encourage a flood of illegal immigration? What could possibly go wrong with this policy: https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-donald-trump-legislation-immigration-border-security-2179887c74cfd8d156bbd293abfc9fb0
I have complained repeatedly about both of national parties’ malfeasance when it comes to the federal budget and debt. But the new Democratic Party wave of leadership that has swarmed into WDC like locusts have taken this irresponsible behavior to a whole ‘nother level: https://www.cnsnews.com/article/washington/terence-p-jeffrey/1923752000000-federal-spending-sets-record-through-january .
Just a handful of weeks into a new Administration and the Biden folks want to hand out $3,000 to $4,000 per year for each child in America. This is on top of the all the other federal goodies that will be doled out of the Democrat’s federal tax-funded moneybag. And hey … why not mail out some checks to non-citizens while we’re at it: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/democrats-stimulus-checks-push-tax-paying-noncitizens
But perhaps the worst scam of all is loading up the pending Covid Relief Bill with all things non-Covid related. Read the precursor to that bill here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6800/text . And even more deliciously-wasteful than this goody bag of liberal ideals is the fact that the Biden Administration is still sitting on trillions of dollars of unspent funding authorized by the previous Covid Relief Bill: https://issuesinsights.com/2021/02/11/dont-tell-anyone-but-biden-still-has-1-3-trillion-in-trump-approved-covid-funds-to-spend/

In the part of Kentucky where I reside, we live in dread of an eastern wind. In the summertime, an east wind will suck the moisture right out of the ground. It hammers a tobacco patch, dries up pasture fields, cuts the yield on corn, and can destroy your vegetable garden. In the spring and fall, a weather pattern from the east usually means high winds, torrential rains, and lots of thunder with lightning. Weather from the east is just bad news. There is an ill wind blowing through our nation’s Capitol these days and it is emanating from the Democratic Party.
The Democratic leadership that has taken over Washington, DC is just like an eastern wind. It brings nothing but varying degrees of calamity and unintended consequences. Even when it brings the right answer, it is perverted and distorted in such a fashion as to make it untenable. You pray for rain and it brings a flood. You complain about the mud and it answers with a drought. All of you folks who voted for Biden and Senate Democrats this last election have selected it as our prevailing weather pattern. What are the prospects of this turning out well: http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0221/hanson021121.php3
The Wizard is a tired old man with dementia whose character quotient is the thickness of a 5-year old work boot sole. The people controlling the bells and whistles behind the Wizard’s curtain are a bunch of emboldened ideologues that are about as grounded as helium-filled balloons. The Democratic Congress is in a mad rush to wipe away anything smacking of Trump from the pages of history and to instill a liberal orthodoxy on this nation before anyone can realize what is happening. Collectively, they are turning America into Oz. And if you voted Democratic; you are a full-fledged citizen.
You may have thought you were voting against the Bad Orange Man who was full of sound and fury and ill will towards all; but you were actually buying into an Orwellian illusion built of empty promises and magical formulas that are fundamentally flawed. The Wizard is propped up on the stage. The crowd behind the curtain is growing ever larger and bolder by the minute. The privileged few will be seated in the grand theatre to watch the show. And what about the rest of us? Get used to being a Munchkin, because that’s how the so-called progressives in our new Oz will be regarding you.
Nailed it!
