A Trojan Horse Presidency
A year into the Biden regime and it’s plain as day that the country bought a pig in a poke, something foolishly accepted without prior examination. Those who voted believed a pitch reminiscent of an old west snake oil salesman, selling an excelsior that promised national unification and moderation. A skillful use of a Trojan Horse that concealed what has become the most inept, incoherent, incompetent Presidency since Herbert Hoover.
One year ago today, as Joe Biden was about to assume the presidency, 49 percent of Americans described themselves as Democrats, according to the Gallup organization. Now 42 percent identify as Democrats, as self-described Republicans rose from 40 to 47 percent. That’s the highest level in 30 years.
How did this incredible swing occur in just 12 months? The reason is simple, President Joe Biden’s leadership is a progressive disaster. His pandemic pronouncements, the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, inflation acerbated by runaway federal spending, illegal immigration chaos and a deceptive voter rights initiative have been a perfect recipe for failure. Joe’s basement campaign that used the compliant press to exploit Trump’s perceived governance knavery built the Trojan Horse that showed up in Washington DC January 20th, 2021.
The ongoing covid pandemic has morphed to a point where some are saying that the vaccines Joe wants to mandate aren’t effectively eliminating the virus. They do lessen the possibility of death. Joe’s ham-handed sweeping mandates to vaccinate everyone were recently rejected by the Supreme Court, which recognized that Joe is not the King. He cannot order folks who live in a constitutional republic how to manage their own health choices. Of course, the administration still listens to the flip-flopping pronouncements of another medicine man, whose credulity shrinks daily, Anthony Fauci.
On his first day in office, Joe decided not to enforce immigration laws by signing executive orders negating the Trump policies at the border. Now millions of people are illegally crossing, untested for Covid, with no job skill sets that benefit the country. The ensuing mess inspired him to appoint Vice President Kamala Harris to take charge and report on the "root causes" of illegal border crossing. We’re still waiting for that report. Evidently, she doesn’t know that the root cause of illegal immigration to the United States is that this is the best country in the civilized world. She’s a heartbeat from the Presidency.
Then by executive decree Joe attacked the oil and gas industry in the name of climate change. Pipelines canceled, drilling permits revoked and as a result, current gasoline prices are 50 percent higher today. An absolutely brilliant move that pandered to his progressive, tree hugging base. Naturally there is no plan to increase domestic production, but instead Joe asks the Saudis to increase their production. Twelve months later, inflation has climbed to levels not seen in 40 years due largely to energy prices and that increases the cost to transport all consumer goods. Add runaway federal spending to the mix and an economic Armageddon begins.
The grandiloquence Joe used in his inaugural speech doesn’t match the reality Americans now live with. The “Great Unifier” Biden has divided the Nation to a degree that is far nastier than the “Mean Tweeter” ever did. Just look at the latest example of his rhetorical excess, the fiery, disingenuous speech he gave in Georgia accusing those who oppose his sham voter rights legislation. One key element of the proposed new election law discourages voter identification, claiming IDs are racist. Those who opposed, he claimed, were siding with racists like Bull Connor, George Wallace, and Jefferson Davis. No one can come up with a realistic case where someone’s right to vote has been denied. Even in Mexico, voter ID is required. In New York one needs a vax card and an ID to dine.
A recent Quinnipiac survey shows that only 33 percent of the country believes he is doing a good job as President. What are a third of those respondents thinking? What country are they living in? Where is the Presidential outrage over the soaring crime rate? Where is the Presidential support of the Nation’s police officers and strict enforcement of the law, despite of the leftist district attorneys found in major American cities? Joe Biden is hurting all of us, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Anybody notice that there is a complete absence of social media posts praising Joe and Kamala’s enlightened leadership? Americans know they’ve been had.
This makes the behavior that we’ve observed for the last year from Joe - the worst possible mishmash of an American President - a controlled, transformed progressive zealot wreaking havoc on the country’s foundation, who at the same time is out of touch with the day to day lives of fellow citizens. Biden’s performance reveals rudderless, feeble, and impotent Presidential leadership. Only 36 more months of this incompetence left…God save the United States of America.
