Well, well, well. “President” Joseph Robinette Biden gave his first State of the Union address this past Tuesday night. What a performance! What theatrics! What a load of bullschtein (as Andrew Wilkow would call it)!
Our feckless leader talked a little about the war in Ukraine, a little about Bidenflation, very little about the southern border and the economy, and a lot about his communist agenda. After all, why would he want to excite the American people?
When he spoke of the Russian invasion of Ukraine he talked about the corruption and tyranny of Russia and how that couldn't stand. What about the corruption and tyranny that he, and his comrades, are putting on the American people? What about his dealings with Russia, China, Romania, and Ukraine? What about the shady deals his son, Hunter, has been involved with for years with Communist and oppressive governments (simply because his last name is Biden)? His words were hollow and held absolutely no substance.
He said he was doing all he could to help the American people with inflation and high gas prices. Really? How so, Uncle Joe? You're still buying Russian oil and refuse to open US drilling and the KeystoneXL pipeline. When you say that business has to lower cost, not wages, how are they supposed to do that when materials are so expensive? I have an idea: OPEN THE KEYSTONEXL AND STOP BUYING RUSSIAN OIL!
How about the southern border? You say you want it secure. Secure from what/who? You think that surveillance cameras and other tech is going to stop the invasion of millions of illegals? You think that scanners are going to stop the human trafficking and drug smuggling? Instead of saying what you think independent and conservative voters want to hear, try doing something about these problems. After all, I can't hear your words because your actions speak so loud. Unless you're willing to close the border, build the wall, and deport the millions of illegals that are bringing who-knows-what into the country, your words mean nothing.
Last week, Volodymyr Zelensky gave an impassioned speech to the European Union council, begging for help to keep Ukraine alive. What did he get? A standing ovation that lasted a minute and ten seconds. Big deal! Even the interpreter was overcome with emotion from what Zelensky said. Standing ovations are great for political speeches, entertainment performances, feats of great athletic ability. When an entire nation is on the verge of being annihilated, applause is not what is needed. Arms, humanitarian aid, a willingness to actually give something of yourself is what is needed.
The Ukrainian people are fighting, not just for their country but, for their very existence. They are fighting to keep democracy and freedom alive. They are fighting for everything that the West supposedly stands for. While we are so quick to run and try to change the way the Middle East is run and bring democracy and freedom to them, we refuse to fight to keep those things in a country on the verge of returning to tyranny and oppression.
Does it matter that our old buddy Putin threatened nuclear war? Is he really that deranged that he would be set on mutual destruction? Would he really start WWIII over Ukraine? Maybe. Would it be worth it? My humble and unasked for opinion is a resounding YES! WWIII is coming anyway. Putin won't stop at Ukraine. He will continue on into the Baltic countries and beyond and China will go into Taiwan. These are facts. WWIII has already started. Shouldn't we at least start playing in the game instead of being bystanders and let them run over us anyway? The EU, Great Britain, and most of Eastern Europe are already calling us, the United States of America, the last bastion of liberty, a JUNIOR PARTNER in the Ukrainian war. A bloody junior partner! Aren't we supposed to be the leaders of the free world? Aren't we supposed to be the ones at the forefront for liberty and freedom? Only Joe Biden (and probably Barry Sotoero, aka Barack Obama) could make us a junior partner on this.
While the world is so afraid of starting another world war, Ukraine is being destroyed, obliterated, erased from history. Why should we worry about millions of people half a world away? What does Ukraine have that the US could possibly want or need? Does it really matter that Putin is committing war crimes by shelling civilians and using weapons banned by the rest of the world? I guess we don't care other than lip service and sending minimal supplies. It doesn't matter that Putin has gotten away with using illegal means many, many times before. Besides, what is the UN going to do about it? Label him a war criminal and leave it at that? It's not like they are going to drag him to New York to UN headquarters and try him.
The sanctions aren't working fast enough, even if they would work at all. Even SWITZERLAND has gotten involved by freezing all Russian money held there. What has it done? Putin has ratcheted up his attacks on the Ukrainian people. He's razed the countryside and cities. He's killed thousands of civilians. It's past time to actually do something for these people. All these sanctions should have been used BEFORE Putin invaded; not after.
There, my rant over Ukraine is done, at least temporarily. I could go on but it would be useless. I'll go back to more domestic issues like our economy, Bidenflation, the southern border.
Under the Trump administration we had a booming economy, energy independence, low unemployment, higher wages, higher employment for women and minorities, and we had a much more secure southern border. Mr. I'm-going-to-undo-everything-Trump-did Biden did just that: undid everything Trump had accomplished. Granted, we had the China released/US backed Chinavirus plannedemic to contend with but, everything else is all on Joe.
Day one, almost as soon as he was inaugurated, Mr. Joe Biden shut down the KeystoneXL pipeline insuring that thousands lost their jobs and our energy independence went out the window. Jenn PotatoChips-Saki said that there were 9,000 leases that weren't being used for oil drilling. I don't know if that is so or not but I question everything that comes from the present regime. I have come to understand that oil companies buy a block of leases at a time and that a lot of them are useless; like about 90 % of them. The oil companies also have to worry about government regulations that are being put into place every day. So, the 9,000 leases that are out there are basically just a way for the government to put off questions about opening up our oil industry again.
Because of the plannedemic, our economy was shut down, hundreds of businesses shuttered, some permanently. Hundreds of thousands went without work. We were under totalitarian mandates of social distancing and useless mask wearing. The world hung on every word of the egotistical, maniacal Dr. Anthony Fauci; a man that has been wrong about every infectious disease since AIDS. Depending on what the polls were indicating, the 'science' changed from one mask, to no mask, to two masks, to no mask, and no one knew what was actually going on- except Dr. Anthony Fauci.
At the onset the Democrat controlled states demanded that Trump supply ventilators and other necessary equipment but refused to do what he asked. What did the President do? New York was demanding more than anyone and California came in a close second so, Trump in his generosity, expeditiously sent naval medical ships and mobile hospitals. After all, the hospitals were overrun with Covid patients and they needed medical help.
What happened? The ships and medical tents remained empty. Ventilators went unused. Nurses and doctors in these 'overrun' hospitals kept saying that they had plenty of beds for patients. It was propaganda and lies from the left to create as much panic and chaos as they could. This has gone on for two years after a fifteen day flatten the curve narrative. It wasn't until this year, an election year, and the polls show the Democrats way behind that our old Uncle Joe decided to lift the mask mandates and quit pushing for the vaccination. In fact, it was the day before the State of the Union address that the mandate for masks was lifted from Washington, DC. Coincidence? I think not! Optics? Indubitably.
All in all, I can only say that the present regime in DC is the most anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Constitutional, anti-freedom, anti-liberty, pro-government control, pro-socialist government we have ever had. Even the Obama Administration didn't go as far as this one. I remember a time when America fought against Socialism and Communism. It seems as though in today's world, we elect it to office.
