Before highlighting some
of the ongoing news stories of the past two weeks, I want to comment about a
partial viewing of President Biden’s recent appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel
show. There can be little doubt that given
the President’s deteriorating mental and physical condition, coupled with his
downward-spiraling approval polling, the Democrat Party is in panic mode when
they consider their prospects in the coming mid-term elections and beyond that
in the next presidential election.
Two television events
this week tells you all you need to know about the Democrat Party. Their leader, President Joe Biden, refuses to
communicate regularly with the American people, the media in general, and other
national leaders around the world. And
yet in this time of uncertainty, chaos, and planetary drama…he chooses to go on
a late-night, comedic hack’s show for what was billed as a “revelatory”
event. Kimmel, a comedian who simply
ain’t too damn funny, is nothing more than a liberal Democrat shill who dutifully
lined up and tossed softballs to the President who dutifully lined up and
whiffed on most of them. The fact that
Biden is a senile, incompetent, angry old man could not be masked by the fuzzy
kid gloves of the groveling host. A
circus act that was intended to place Biden in a favorable environment where he
could not help but look good unfolded as a convincing indictment of his dismal
decline.
And then there was the
melodramatic hearing by the House Democrats (plus two inexplicably wandering
Republicans) staging in primetime television a not-so-subtle political
lynching of Donald Trump. Never in my
memory has something so simple and obvious been so hyperboled. The January 6 riot was a national shame; but
it was certainly not the cataclysmic and seditious act that is being portrayed
by the Democrats. Trump was a fool to
allow his monstrous ego free reign to continue protesting the illegitimacy of
the 2020 election far beyond the point where it was meaningless. The obvious irregularities that occurred
during that election were never going to be sufficiently quantified to overturn
a national electoral verdict and Trump should have realized that. But really…are his protestations about
2020 any more outrageous than Hillary Clinton’s about her 2016 loss or the way Stacey
Abrams dealt with her loss in 2018?
These two instances of
each national party going over-the-top in their reactions to a national event
is indicative of the political/social/cultural environment that now exists in
America. We all tend to circulate in a
sphere of influence that we find amenable to our own opinions. We tend to tune out that which does not align
with our inclinations and embrace that which does. Conservatives watch Fox; liberals watch
MSNBC. The internet offers a plethora of
sources that cater to either political leaning and it has even become possible
for national consumer brands to exclusively cater to one or the other extreme
and still be successful. Such is
the magnitude and severity of our nation’s political polarization. I reluctantly acknowledge my own role in this
phenomenon.
The cluelessness of both
Biden and Trump in the prior-mentioned episodes plainly demonstrates that when
we give ourselves over to the innermost political beasts, we lose the ability
not only to entertain and consider the rational thoughts of opposing opinion;
we lose the ability to realize how utterly stupid we appear to any person who
can still maintain a standing in that shrinking zone that lies between the two
extreme political postures. Has that
middle zone shrunk to the point where it is now irrelevant when it comes to
deciding national elections? That, my
friends, is an interesting question. Now…on
to the current events.
The Democrat’s Green
New Deal was going to be institutionalized with the passage of the Build
Back Better legislation. Fortunately,
Build Back Better never got built in the first place. But as presidents before him from both
national parties have demonstrated, President Biden is attempting to demonstrate that which cannot be accomplished legitimately through the
legislative process can oftentimes be accomplished illegitimately
through the executive order. The
liberal pursuit of a fossil-free energy environment has become quite
comfortable in its fantasy world of illogic and contradiction; it has also
become drunk on the fleeting opportunity to impose its madness on the masses
through the levers of an all-powerful and blameless bureaucracy.

There is example after
example of the Biden Administration worsening existing problems with
counter-productive policies that are nothing short of pouring gasoline on
raging fires. Not content with creating
new and unique problems for the American economy; Biden and his liberal clown
show took those areas of our economy that the Trump Administration had
successfully managed and screwed them up too!
Think about the logic that drives a person to think that the proper way
to encourage electric vehicles is to drive the price of gasoline so high that
the economy goes into recession…or…the blind ambition of raising employee wages
beyond a sustainable level without appreciating the fact that those increasing
labor costs will result in higher prices and inflation. This is Bidenomics.

The key to a robust,
fair, widespread, and healthy American economy is not a wide-open approach to
profligate federal spending. The
national conditions of poverty and education should clearly demonstrate that
more taxpayer dollars being hurled towards an issue will not necessarily
improve that issue.

The ever-devolving
ethical and moral condition of the U.S. Department of Justice is a cancer upon
our nation. Every day we see another
story of FBI misbehavior or skullduggery.
The Attorney General…the chief law enforcement officer in America…seems
more interested in “woke” than in “law”. The January 6 participants, whose violent
consequences pale in comparison to the summer riots following the George Floyd
episode, are treated in barbaric fashion while liberal cites, states, and Attorney
Generals (looking at you California) are dealing with the consequences
of coddling criminals and defunding law enforcement. The FBI should not be an extension of the Obama/Clinton
political machine and the Department of Justice should not be an appendage of
the Democrat Party. But in both cases,
that seems to be where we stand today.

This is what political
scandal used to look like: https://lawliberty.org/forum/watergate-fifty-years-later/
The liberal hysteria
surrounding the terms “assault weapons” and “gun control” has
gone completely beyond the pale.
Yes…America needs to deliberately and thoughtfully consider the alarming
episodes of mass shootings. But…before
that can occur, we need to ENFORCE the gun possession laws that are
currently on the book and see if new laws are even necessary. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/06/a-sensible-position-on-crime-and-guns.php
Total and unbridled
obsession with race has resulted in increased racial tension. Total and unbridled obsession with violence
will result in increased violence. Also
true…how episodes of violence are reported in the media has a great deal
to do with public opinion. It is
amusing how the political bias of a reporter can determine the severity of the
violent intent.

As unsettling as it is to
see our President make a fool of himself on late-night television, it is even
more disturbing to realize that he is the leader of the free world in these
times of global unrest and turmoil. His
bumbling might be somewhat entertaining on domestic soil; but it is alarmingly
dangerous in foreign relations.

Our President obviously
does not realize how stupid and inept he appears when he makes public
appearances. It is equally apparent that
those people in his Administration who have any influence over him want to keep
him in the dark about his cluelessness and continue to use him as their useful
idiot. If the consequences of his
behavior and his policies were not so devastating, it would almost be
humorous.

I will always believe
that one of the cheapest shots Biden took at Trump during their presidential
contest was his blaming Trump…personally…for all of the coronavirus
deaths. The behavior and rhetoric of
Biden in this instance said far more about himself and his lack of moral
turpitude than it ever did about Trump.
The one thing in life that should instill both fear and solace in each
of us is the old truth…chickens do come home to roost. https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/covid-death-scandal/
As the mid-term elections
approach, the gravity of their outcomes is coming under increased
scrutiny. Can the Republicans snatch
defeat from the jaws of impending victory?
If so, what can they do to mitigate the craziness emanating from the
Biden Administration? Will they,
themselves, fall back into familiar patterns of Republican craziness? Who will emerge as the Republican
presidential nominee? What will the
Democrats do with their Biden problem and, of equal or greater consequence,
their Harris problem? Buckle up, it is
going to be one wild ride through two election cycles!

“How and why” Joe
Biden transformed himself from a fairly moderate and inconsequential legislator
to a hair-on-fire liberal president is, and will likely remain, a
mystery. However, one thing about his
journey is not a mystery. The liberal
contingent in our nation, aided and abetted by the Democrat Party and the
mainstream media, have thrown all caution to the wind and are pursuing their
nation-changing agenda with full abandon.
It would appear that they have dramatically over-reached and are
allowing their ambition to outrun their abilities. That is yet to be determined. But without any doubt, there are a large
number of Americans who are opposed to the liberal lunacy that is running amuck
in our country and they are reaching the point where pushback is evitable. The degree, resolve, and effectiveness of
that pushback is the real question.
