The Best Argument for Biden that the Left can Manage

In Stacy McCain’s post on the Biden Economy there was one bit that jumped out at me:

Magical thinking: “Corporate minimum tax!” This will miraculously solve all the budget problems, Democrats expect us to believe and, considering that 38.2% of voters actually approve of the job Biden’s doing as president, there are tens of millions of Americans stupid enough to believe anything. 

Now, in my opinion this 38.2% consists of three distinct groups.

The first group are the greased. These are the people who directly benefit from the Biden graft. The companies that are given subsidies, the cities that those companies are based in, the activist class and of course all those who suck at the government tit, many of them already obscenely wealthy and a key part of the Democrat base (which is why you don’t hear media talking about “cooperate welfare” anymore) Biden is their guy doing their bidding so they’re all for him.

The second is the thug class, if you’re a criminal in Biden’s America you are pretty much being given a free pass in blue cities. If you’re running a high level criminal enterprise the Biden policies mean that your street thugs are playing with house money. The Tony Soprano’s of the world are getting their 10% with ease and the various thug classes who are literally getting away with murder know who to thank, cripes they’re even getting recruited by Democrat activists to thug on their behalf. To them the Biden years are the days of wine and roses.

To those people the Biden Administration is doing exactly what they want

But there is one more group out there and to understand this group we go back to USA today from five years ago and their grading of the first 100 days of Donald Trump Presidency by Glenn Reynolds:

A+ Not Hillary: President Trump was elected in no small part because he was not Hillary Clinton, and he’s done an A+ job of not being Hillary Clinton during his first 100 days. And as additional news about Hillary’s shambolic presidential campaign has come out — including revelations that she combed through staff emails from her previous campaign and assigned people “loyalty scores” — the importance of having a president who is not Hillary Clinton seems even greater than it did in November. And, I’m happy to say, I expect President Trump to go on not being Hillary Clinton for the next four (or eight!) years. A+ job, Mr. President!

and his grade at one year

A+ Still Not Hillary: Last year, I graded President Trump as an A+ because he was doing an outstanding job of not being Hillary Clinton. A year after his inauguration, he’s even more not-Hillary. And the childish and irrational effort by Democrats to escape into fantasies of undoing the 2016 election via impeachment or 25th Amendment medical disability demonstrates that their party isn’t ready to govern anytime soon. Aside from not being Hillary, Trump has some actual accomplishments, and not just in terms of judicial appointments. The tax bill passed, the economy is already benefiting, and the results are already showing up in workers’ paychecks. Trump has exceeded his goal of undoing two regulations for every new regulation passed, and he’s on track to shrink the federal government significantly — though not enough — in his first term.  As a libertarian, my expectations for Trump were pretty modest, and in this respect, he has already  surpassed them. And, with Trump in the White House, the plague of sexual abuse in the news and entertainment worlds has been brought to light, when it almost certainly would have been kept quiet under Hillary so as to avoid embarrassing associations with Bill Clinton’s past offenses. Every day when Trump wakes up, he’s not Hillary, and that’s the main reason he is in the White House now. 

Glenn in his 1 year review of Trump could point to actual accomplishments which continued to grow over the four years of the Trump presidency which is, in my opinion, the single most successful first term of a presidency since James K. Polk.

Now if you ask me, you can count the accomplishments of Joe Biden on the thumbs of one toe, but in fairness there is one accomplishment that can’t be taken away from him, something that to a large group of Americans, is significant.

He’s not Donald Trump.

For those Americans no amount of suffering from high gas prices, to inflation, to crime in the streets, to shortages of everything from Baby Food to Tampons to even the spaying of their own children and the complete denial and redefining of reality for political gain mean nothing, compared to the fact that Donald Trump is not president. Suddenly all that they’ve been put through becomes not a failure of leadership but a virtue, they are suffering, but Trump is not president. It gives them self esteem, virtue without actually being virtuous and in their mind Joe Biden has given that to them.

They’re lives and suffering are martyrdom for the sake of NeverTrump, alas they will discover that unlike Baptism by Blood, it will not wash away sins.

Why are we sitting on our hands while the United States is dismantled?

Since the very beginning of the Wuhan Flu Pandemic, I’ve felt that there is something  fundamentally wrong with the United States.  I’m not talking about the out of control federal government, or the outrageous amount of government spending, or the fact that all levels of government trample on our rights, or that rampant indoctrination is taking place in our schools, or the way the federal government is crushing our economy with destructive taxes and regulations.  All of this has been going on for decades. 

What I find exceptionally disturbing now is how little all of this seems to bother the vast majority of those living here, in what used to be the freest and most prosperous nation. 

Previous generations would not have sat by passively while different levels of the government prevented individuals from leaving their houses, closed businesses, forced everyone to wear face diapers,  or forced tens of millions to be injected with a vaccine so they could participate in society. 

The founding generation would have grabbed their pitch forks, torches, and muskets.  This generation has behaved like sheep.  There have been some sporadic protests, nothing more.

Now the Biden regime is systematically dismantling the economy of the United States, in order to fight something that is completely imaginary.  Yup, I’m talking about man made climate change.  Gas prices have fallen slightly in the past couple weeks, only because the recession we are in has caused demand to fall. That is after they skyrocketed.  Inflation, caused by both an out of control federal government and federal reserve, is grinding our economy to a halt.  Our dementia challenged, pretend president, is threatening to enact the Green New Deal through executive order.

We are witnessing a disaster of epic proportions at out southern border because the Biden regime has opened the flood gates completely.  Government policies have caused the supply chain crisis and, potentially, a food shortage.  An onerous gun control bill was just passed with the help of traitorous Republicans.  Biden and the rest of the Democrats are threatening to seize assault weapons trough a law passed by congress or an executive order,

What have we done about all of this nonsense? Hardly anything at all.  There have been sporadic protests.  Nothing was done when the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump.

I am not advocating for violence.  We have not reached that stage.  If we continue to do nothing we very well may. 

What happens if the midterm elections, we all seem to be pinning our hopes on, are stolen?  If the Republicans win back just the House, will that really save the US?  If the Republicans also edge out a narrow majority in the Senate, will Romney and the rest of the RINOs work with the Republicans, or will they continue to conspire with the Democrats?

What we need to do is organize mass protests, extremely large and non violent mass protests.  They need to be large enough and passionate enough to remind our elected representatives that they are in fact elected representative, and not our rulers.

We need to organize mass election rallies for Republicans in both houses, to build up energy and momentum.  Also we need to educate as many of our friends and family about what is going on.  We cannot be afraid to share or views and we cannot be afraid of losing friends. Mostly we need to vote and inspire as many as possible to vote for Republicans, true Republicans.

Green Energy Policies are destabilizing the world

The political left has demonstrated a remarkable affinity for replacing what actually works with what will bring about ruin and chaos  This is true when it comes to government policies, fiscal policies, or culture.  Wherever leftists gain control, nations collapse because of their intolerance for what has brought about prosperity and stability.

For well over a century fossil fuels have powered the world, bringing about the Industrial Revolution.  The Industrial Revolution brought freedom and prosperity to every nation which protected individual rights and property rights.

Free and prosperous people are difficult for tyrants to rule. Poor and downtrodden are much more pliant   Fear is also one of the favorite tools used by tyrants to rule over those who do not wish to be controlled.  Creating an imaginary extended crises and hyping it endlessly in the media has proved most effective in turning the United States into a nation populated by compliant sheeple.  That strategy was used by Democrats most effectively over the past two years in the form of the Wuhan Flu pandemic.  It made the theft of the 2020 presidential election possible.

Globalist elites have longed for decades to implement a one world socialist government.  That would mean stripping the rights away from everyone individual.  A significant portion of the world’s population would object to this.  Climate change is the crisis used to create the overwhelming sense of fear needed.   If these elites could scare us enough to agree to ban fossil fuels in most nations, that would collapse the world economy, making everyone so miserable they would submit to being ruled by tyrant elites who would run a global socialist government.  That is being implemented through a plan called the Great Reset.  In the United States the plan to implement the Great Reset is called the Green New Deal.

This article documents the havoc caused by one nation’s attempt to implement a green new style plan. Sri Lanka Crisis Shows Consequences Of Elites’ Green Revolution (thefederalist.com)

Sri Lanka, a small island nation in South East Asia, is on the verge of total political and economic collapse after its president’s “green” policies have brought famine to the island’s 21 million people. 

From the 1970s to 2020, with the help of synthetic fertilizers, Sri Lanka had become self-sufficient in rice production. However, Sri Lanka’s government fell under the spell of the “green” revolution promoted by Western liberal elites. In a now-deleted article published by the World Economic Forum (WEF), then Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe vowed to make his country “rich by 2025,” partially by adopting WEF-sponsored “climate change” initiatives.  

Advised by the Rockefeller Foundation, Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa promised to transition the nation’s agriculture industry to organic farming within ten years. In April 2021, he banned “the importation and use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and order[ed] the country’s 2 million farmers to go organic,” according to Foreign Policy magazine. The Western green revolutionists were so pleased that they bestowed Sri Lanka with a near-perfect Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) score of 98, much higher than the United States’ score of 51.

But Sri Lanka’s adoption of green policies brought nothing but disasters. Its rice production has dropped more than 50 percent, while domestic rice prices have increased more than 80 percent. Once sufficient in rice production, the nation has been “forced to import $450 million worth of rice.” In the words of Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Sri Lanka is experiencing “a government-created famine reminiscent of Mao.” 

And there is this article, Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Disaster Is A Warning To The United States (thefederalist.com)

The move to “clean energy”—without nuclear—has accomplished three things:

1. It has prompted Germany, and the rest of the EU, to begin relying more heavily on Russian natural gas as it “transitioned.” Putin, who has begun demanding EU nations pay for their energy in roubles, is now able to undercut the European economy at will.

2. It has created the highest global electricity prices per household in the world. In 2019, German households were paying 34 cents per kilowatt-hour compared to 13 cents in the United States. The price of energy has doubled since 2000, when Germany first mandated decarbonization, an effort that forced energy companies to purchase long-term inefficient renewables at high, fabricated prices.

3. It has meant the burning of coal. Even before Russia began cutting off supply, Germany was more reliant on coal than the United States. This week, Germany’s Economy Minister Robert Habeck, who earlier this year rejected a European Union label of nuclear energy as “green,” announced that in an effort to avoid future gas shortages—because cars can’t run on wind—the government would incentivize the use of more coal-fired power plants.

Thanks to their version of the Green New Deal, conditions in the Netherlands are so bad mass protests are taking place, Media Ignore Dutch Farmer Protests To Protect Climate Fearmongering (thefederalist.com)

The government of the Netherlands seems to be willing to starve Europe to browbeat Dutch farmers about climate change, and American corporate media outlets are largely ignoring it.

The Netherlands is demanding its farmers drastically reduce their herds of livestock in order to eliminate 50 percent of the nation’s nitrogen pollution by 2030. That leaves just eight years for farmers whose livelihoods revolve around cultivating land and raising animals to figure out how they can keep supplying the continent with food.

Under the new “green” restrictions, many generational farmers say that they risk bankruptcy or being forced out of the industry altogether. Even the government has admitted that “The honest message … is that not all farmers can continue their business.” That’s why, for more than a month now, large numbers of these Dutch farmers have protested government policies forcing them to wreak havoc on the nation’s agricultural industry.

A disruption like this, to a nation that is the “largest exporter of meat in Europe and the second largest exporter of food overall after the United States,” will also likely exacerbate food shortages caused by the Ukraine-Russia war throughout the European Union and other parts of the world.

Joe Biden is hell bent on cramming the Green New Deal down the throats of the American people through executive order.   So far, the Biden regime has done tremendous harm to the American economy by closing one major pipeline and a large number of wells.  The economy would be ground to a halt if the Green New Deal is implemented?

Joe Biden will be coming after handguns

Posted: June 2, 2022 by Jon Fournier in Uncategorized

On Memorial Day, Joe Biden made some very ominous statements, which were cloaked in his customary mistruths and utter gibberish.  These statements should send chills down the spines of supporter of the Second Amendment.  Once you fed the statements into a Joe Biden gibberish and lies decoder they translated into the message “we’re going to ban all guns including hand guns.”

From this quote you can see that Biden will be targeting the Democrat’s usual bugaboo ‘assault weapons.’

I know that it makes no sense to be able to purchase something that can fire up to 300 rounds.  I know it makes — and I know what happened when we had rational action before, back in — when the crime bill was — the law that got passed.  It did significantly cut down mass murders. 

And so there’s only one reason for something that can fire, you know, 100 shots.

The fraudulent claim about effects of the unconstitutional assault weapons ban are debunked here.

This next statement exploded across social media and conservative news websites because it is both ominous and entirely devoid of reality.

I mean — and I’ll just conclude with this: Look, when I first started doing hearings on the issue of what rational gun laws should be, it was during a period when I was a senator and the death rate was going up.  Not that many more people were being shot, but the death rate was up.  And when I think of — I’m not sure, I think it was (inaudible) hospital in New York — whatever the largest trauma hospital is. 

And I sat with a trauma doctor, and I asked him — I said, “What’s the difference?  Why are so many people…” — and not that many more people were being shot.  This is now 20 years ago, or 25 years.  I said, “Why are they dying?”  And they showed me x-rays.  He said, “A .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out, may be able to get it, and save the life.  A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body.”

Joe Biden proved that he knows absolutely nothing about the Second Amendment and the rest of the Constitution when he made the following statement:

So the idea of these high-caliber weapons is of — there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of thinking about self-protection, hunting.  I mean, I just — and remember, the Constitution, the Second Amendment was never absolute.  You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed.  You couldn’t go out and purchase a lot of weapons. 

And those who — not many are saying it anymore, but there was a while there where people were saying that, you know, the Tree of Liberty is watered with the blood of patriots, and what we have to do is you have to be able to take on the government when they’re wrong.  Well, to do that, you need an F-15, you know?  Or you need an Abrams tank.

Joe Biden has repeated the same mistruth about the First Amendment preventing Americans in early America from owning cannons often.  Each time he uttered it he has been fact checked.

In the second paragraph of that last quote, Joe Biden shows utter contempt for the founding principles of the United States.  He spits on the graves of every founding father of the United States.  Only a petulant tyrant would threaten American citizens with tanks and fighter aircraft for simply standing up for their rights.
