Are We Really That Stupid?

I remember the impeachment hearings when Congress went after Richard Nixon.  It is quite sobering to realize that one of the proposed articles of impeachment against Nixon was his unsuccessful attempt to politically-weaponize the Internal Revenue Service.  Wow…based on what we have seen with our last three presidents, that seems pretty small potatoes.  Republican Senators and Representatives refused to follow Nixon off that cliff.  Nixon himself went right up to the edge of the cliff, but then chose to resign rather than jump.

 

Then came Bill Clinton in the mid-90s with his lies and deceit…his artful parsing of every word and phrase an effort to escape the consequences of his bad judgment.  Unlike the Nixon Republicans, the Democrats of Clinton’s era were plenty willing to follow him off the cliff that he gladly leapt from.  In my humble opinion, that was the beginning of the poisonous political maelstrom we find ourselves in today.  The Republicans were far too anxious to castigate Clinton in large part due to the treatment of Nixon; Clinton was their vengeance for Nixon.  The Democrats were far too willing to turn a blind eye to Clinton’s actions and refused to honestly and credibly investigate his bad behavior.

 

Obama came into office with his hopes for change, but he was a narcissistic charlatan who was only interested in his own goals and ideals...and was far too lazy to perform the hard work necessary to be a president for all of the people.  Through his callous and self-serving policies, he set back racial relations in our nation for decades to come.  Obama valued his own blackness solely for its utility in the furtherance of his personal ambitions.  No presidential administration in history held more potential for positive change than his…but he frittered it all away for the sake of self-indulgence and conceit.  His administrations were riddled with corruption, incompetence, and abuse of power through executive actions.  Even to this day, it is hard to find a Democrat anywhere who is not convinced that Obama has feathered wings upon his back.  Obama was, and is, a snake that is entirely motivated by his own needs and desires.  He is the worst president this nation has had in my lifetime of over 70 years.   If the full story is ever told of Joe Biden’s corruptive behavior as his Vice-President, it would not be surprising to find that Obama was knee-deep in the same prostitution of power and influence.  Unlike Biden, he was smart enough to cover his tracks.

 

Donald Trump rolled into our nation’s Capitol having been the winner of a bitter contest between the least of two evils.  He sold himself as the antidote to Obama’s failed hopes and bad changes and was fortunate to be opposed by what was likely the weakest candidate the Democrats have ever selected.  Trump’s entire term was spent fighting tooth and nail with his Democrat and RINO haters.  He surrounded himself with incompetent appointees who only stayed around as long as they served his interest and he ran this country as if it were his own personal life of wealth and privilege.  A majority of the Republican Party drank his kool-aid then and continues that addiction to this day.  More than anything else, Trump proved that perhaps the best president we can have is the one that does the least.

 

Our nation is now cursed by Joe Biden and his Democrat Party.  This bunch of liberal ideologues is shamelessly and openly doing all of the crazy things that Obama and his ilk would only dream about.  In fact, it is quite likely that Obama and his cohorts are the ones holding the strings attached to the policy limbs of our imbecilic and senile President.  It is bad enough that the Democrat Party and their many institutional allies are foisting their particular brands of policy idiocy on the country as a whole; but the real disgrace is the contempt they hold for the public at large that sits idly by while they take our nation, our culture, our society, and the future of our children down the drain.  The Democrats glimpsed what might have been with Obama for eight years.  Given a second chance with Biden, they have been running wide open from day one and, with a full realization that the Biden first-term clock is ticking and a second one is no guarantee, they are brazenly and frenetically rushing to shove as much of their liberal madness into these United States as is possible before the clock strikes midnight. 

 

And now, reeling with the cumulative damage from these past political misadventures, our citizenry stands upon the precipice of nominating two of the main players from this past tragedy…namely Biden and Trump.  Are we voters really so stupid as to believe that a Republican Party led by Trump won’t be as ambitious and devious as the Democrat Party under Biden has been?  Are we really looking forward to a choice of either a continued trip down the yellow brick road of liberal unicorns and rainbows or else a four-year battle royal of vengeance and spite as Trump attempts to even the score with his Democrat and RINO tormentors?  For goodness sake, have we learned nothing from what we have witnessed and experienced? 

 

Democrats know Biden is a corrupt and profiteering lifetime politician with no ethics and few morals; but…they apparently see him as their best hope for hanging onto the levers of power in WDC.  If they are honest with themselves, Republicans must admit that Donald Trump is a man who has lived a life with a set of silverware placed in his hands.  He is as close to a common man as fire is to water.  Regardless of his unrepentant immoral behavior as a husband, father, and Chief Executive, Republicans rally behind him in a quest to hold the Democrats accountable for their senseless and uncivil pursuit of his demise.  Trump is a selfish individual who uses others up and then disposes of them when their utility is spent.  His loyalty is not to America, his Party, or our Constitution.  Those items are simply props that he uses to advance himself and his personal agenda.  Will Republicans follow Trump over the cliff the same way the Democrats followed Clinton?

 

Next year’s national elections will be a culmination of sixteen years of presidential malfeasance and abuse.  If our nation decides to continue down the road that has been paved for us by both national parties, then we run the very real risk of losing the very essence of our country forever.  New leadership is always a risk.  Change is always uncertain.  But repeating past mistakes and errors in judgment and expecting different results is….well, perhaps not entirely insane.  But still yet… it is pretty damn stupid.  On to the news…

 

Schools! Schools! Schools!  Ignore your local schools at your own peril!

Our corrupt and flaccid President is an embarrassment to himself and to our country.  He is absent of any ethical content, oblivious to the problems his Administration has created, and totally unaware of the dismal image he portrays as a Chief Executive.

 

The man spends 40 percent of his time on vacation: https://nypost.com/2023/09/02/slacker-in-chief-biden-keeps-up-record-40-vacay-pace/

 

And then has the hubris to make excuses about being too busy to do his job:  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/biden-blasted-being-too-busy-east-palestine

 

There is no legitimate reason for an honest man to conduct business this way: https://reason.com/2023/08/30/joe-bidens-email-aliases-are-a-potentially-serious-transparency-problem/

 

The liberal mainstream media has tried their best to cover for the Biden Family Enterprise: https://jonathanturley.org/2023/09/01/you-dont-listen-to-the-press-im-telling-you-washington-post-columnist-philip-bump-strikes-out-at-those-who-question-prior-false-claims/#more-209251

 

But the public is finally beginning to understand how rotten this man and his family are: https://nypost.com/2023/08/30/americans-are-getting-wise-to-joe-bidens-corruption-despite-his-media-gatekeepers/

 

His Administration continues to take a sophomoric approach to the stewardship of our national economy…

Try as they might, Biden and his allies cannot hide the reality of his record: https://mrctv.org/blog/craig-bannister/bidenomics-five-charts-media-dont-want-you-see

 

Then again…it is a legitimate argument to make that Biden is not actually the person in charge of this Administration: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/barack-obama-driving-force-white-house-biden-cognitive-collapse-newt-gingrich

 

We are truly testing the capacity of the American public to tolerate the stupidity of the liberal Democrats and their puppet President: https://amgreatness.com/2023/08/28/power-wielders-believe-their-coup-has-public-support/

 

Our sitting President and his Administration should be held to task and be forthcoming with explanations for some of their bad behavior.  I would prefer that accounting take place through elections; but if they continue to stonewall and hide, there may be only one remaining option to get at the truth of the Biden Family Enterprise: https://thefederalist.com/2023/08/30/15-questions-a-biden-impeachment-inquiry-must-ask-because-corporate-media-wont/

 

You know…there are rumblings and comments swirling about these days that would almost make one wonder if there is something in the air…something coming our way…something awful and dreadful…something like…Covid the Sequel!  And, lo and behold, it would be just in time for the elections…

I spent 30 years of my life working for the United States Department of Agriculture…working with American farmers through the ASCS/Farm Service Agency.  I have always been, and remain, solidly convinced that our ability to feed ourselves and a large part of this world is just as critical to our nation’s security as a robust and vital military capability.  Our farmers take a lot of baseless criticism from many different quarters, so it is a pleasure for me to offer some space to a great advocate for our farmers: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/patriotism-unity/a-strong-farm-bill-supports-national-security
