After botching Laken Riley’s name during the SOTU address—calling the murdered 22-year-old nursing student Lincoln Riley—President Joe Biden embarked on an apology tour. However, he didn’t apologize for confusing Laken with Lincoln, the head football coach at USC. Nor did he offer any heartfelt apology to the aggrieved family, whose daughter was murdered by an illegal from Venezuela.
Biden also didn’t express any remorse that his open border policies were responsible for the death of yet another innocent American. No, he apologized for calling the illegal who murdered Laken Riley while she was jogging an illegal.
“I shouldn’t have used ‘illegal.’ It’s ‘undocumented.’” Biden said during a televised interview on MSNBC before answering “Yes,” when asked, “you regret using that word?” If that wasn’t bad enough, Biden then claimed that illegals built the country.
The exchange should be featured in every Trump campaign video between now and November because it offers a crystal clear juxtaposition between Trump’s America First movement and Biden’s America Last. The former respects the American citizenry and the latter has contempt for them.
In the same interview, Biden said, “What I won’t do, I’m not going to treat any of these people with disrespect.” Of course, while Biden won’t dare disrespect even criminal illegal murderers, he has no problem disrespecting Gold Star families, comforting them by lying to them in some sociopathic effort to upstage their own grief.
Biden, for example, told Cheryl Rex, whose son Marine Lance Cpl. Dylan Merola was one of 13 U.S. service members who died in the Aug. 26, 2021, bombing at Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, that he understood her anguish because his son Beau Biden came home “in a flag-draped coffin.” Beau died from cancer in a U.S. hospital.
Biden won’t treat illegals with disrespect, but he’ll attack American citizens that support Trump as a “threat to this country,” and once called the unvaccinated “unpatriotic,” a “radicalized minority,” and falsely blamed the pandemic on these Americans, calling it a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
Biden routinely disrespects, disparages, and threatens American citizens. “You need something else than just an AR-15,” to challenge the U.S. government, Biden has told the American people on multiple occasions—even while he publicly advocates the banning of AR-15s.
Biden doesn’t respect the Supreme Court. He admonished the Justices during his SOTU address for overturning Roe v. Wade. Nor does Biden respect the law or the Constitution. Biden infamously defied the rule of law when he acknowledged that his eviction moratorium wouldn’t “pass constitutional muster” while pledging to do it anyway.
I could go on and on about all these aforementioned examples and others that I’ve meticulously chronicled in my book America’s Last Stand: Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024? and about how the country prioritizes criminals and illegals over law-abiding and tax-paying American citizens—at least under the leadership of Biden and Democrats.
Biden is not an American president—he does not represent or defend the American people. He views himself, as does the Democratic Party, as an ambassador to foreign nations. Biden will claim illegals built the country while he pillages the paychecks of hard-working American citizens to house, clothe, and feed those who have contributed nothing—the illegals he so reveres.
Biden and the Democrats have turned the United States into the world’s trash can—a place where foreign nations can send their rubbish. This systemic prioritization of the world’s foreign populations over U.S. citizens—their needs and desires over American needs and desires—is a complete perversion of the actual purpose of the U.S. government.
Our government’s job isn’t to do what’s in the best interest of Haiti, El Salvador, or any other country. America isn’t the world’s penal colony, homeless shelter, rehab, or charity. Our government’s job is not to help the world’s poor or to take in unwanted rapists and murderers from third-world countries. It isn’t to import the uneducated masses from around the globe. Our government’s job is to do what’s in the best interest of America.
America is not a trash can. It is the greatest nation in the history of mankind—“the crown jewel of humanity,” as I call America in my book— and we are great because of our past commitment to something called a “meritocracy.”
The purpose of U.S. immigration isn’t to help immigrants but to help America and Americans; it’s not to help improve other countries but to improve this one. Furthermore, being an American is a privilege, not a right, for any foreign-born individual. Entry isn’t guaranteed but is earned by answering this simple question: What are you going to do for America?
Instead, disrespectful illegals are pouring into America, screaming, “What is America going to do for me?” a demand prompted by the policies of Biden and Democrats, who have turned the United States into a nation without standards or self-respect. America is the Ferrari of countries, but Joe Biden and the Democrats view America as a Serbian Yugo—a junk car without value and to be treated with abject disrespect.
If America is to be restored, American citizens and politicians alike must once again revere her. The border disaster is only one manifestation of America’s broken psyche and Democrat contempt for America, but it should make it crystal clear that 2024 really is America’s Last Stand “and marks the third major test, which will determine whether America survives or dies.”
