Somehow the United States ended up this summer with no engaged president and an absent vice president who avoids the missing president and is frantically repudiating everything she co-owned the last three years.
The world was already confused over how President Joe Biden was apparently declared by unnamed Democratic insiders and donors unfit and unable to continue as their presidential candidate—as if he were a dethroned Third-World usurper.
It further wondered how those who staged his removal had no problem allowing him, in his debilitated state, to continue as America’s commander-in-chief until January 20, 2025. They demonstrated their priorities that focus on retaining power, not the welfare of the nation or the will of over 14 million Biden primary voters.
Vice President Kamala Harris, until Biden’s forced abdication, was judged by these same backroom fixers as too incompetent to ever be commander-in-chief and thus for three years a good reason why Biden apparently was not forced out earlier.
Now nominal Vice President Harris is on the campaign trail nonstop, while Biden has taken the most vacation time off and worked the shortest workweek in presidential memory.
The world again wonders who is in charge, what they believe, who is a friend, and who is an enemy. Harris is busy trying to get elected on three premises: disowning her prior co-ownership of what was mostly a disastrous Biden term and certainly no recommendation for reelection; reinventing her affluent radical past and present as moderate and working-class; and keeping absolutely silent about any detailed agenda or policy plan for governance as president.
Our rivals and opponents abroad cannot decide which is better for their own anti-American agendas—a derelict and absent Biden-Harris or dealing with a cognitively challenged Biden and a linguistically loopy Harris?
So, again, who or what now governs America?
Is it Biden again at the beach or closing up shop at noon for his nap and early bedtime?
Or is it Vice President Harris, far from the White House, out campaigning and confused over who she really is or wants to be, what, if anything, she plans on doing if elected president, and how to avoid any unscripted moment?
Or are our real rulers the stealth cabal of Democratic grandees and billionaire donors who arranged the Biden presidency by forcing out his 2020 primary rivals, staged the conspiratorial silence about his real disabilities for well over three years, ambushed him, and forced him off the Democratic ticket, and are now frantically reinventing Kamala Harris as capable and centrist when just a few months ago they had written her off as incompetent and a hopeless wannabe California radical?
As a result, a confused but also encouraged world of enemies watches the listless United States and wonders whether to try something stupid.
In this widening vacuum, lots of foreign opportunists, outright enemies, and nihilists are seizing the day—on the assurance that Biden is not a lame duck, but a lame, lame duck, and Harris is a near functionary in search of an identity and an idea.
The Houthis, a ragtag cabal of terrorists who hijacked Yemen after shaking off a few prior Biden “precision” retaliatory strikes, now “own” the Red Sea. They just hit a Greek-flagged oil tanker that is now adrift and polluting the Red Sea. It serves as their warning for commercial ships to keep clear of their mare nostrum.
The Houthis expect neither a Western nor an American response to ensure safe transit in and out of the southern Mediterranean by the world’s commercial fleet. Apparently, they believe that they are so backward, and their drones are so cheap and simple that the top-heavy U.S. cannot afford to hit their ad hoc launches with sophisticated, multimillion-dollar, and often misapplied weapons. And they are probably right.
Indeed, under Biden-Harris, the world has now lost free and safe transit in the Red Sea, the Black Sea, the South China Sea, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Eastern Mediterranean. Will the Caribbean or mid-Atlantic be next? The military is short thousands of troops, the merchant marines idling ships.
Our NATO enemy/“ally” Turkey—when it is not threatening to send missiles against fellow NATO member Greece, bragging about once again ethnic cleansing Armenians, leveling more warnings to Cyprus, bombing the Kurds, colluding with the Russians and Chinese, trying to veto Finnish and Swedish NATO membership, or claiming US nuclear weapons based in Turkey are virtually its own—apparently has created such an anti-American climate that its pro-Erdogan street thugs feel they can beat up visiting American sailors, docking at Izmir to help aid the Turkish navy.
Not a peep follows from the White House. If it had, President Recep Erdogan would have leveled one of his accustomed unhinged responses.
Hamas just murdered more of its Israeli hostages, among them an American citizen.
Now non-candidate Biden is apparently still more worried about 250,000 Muslim voters in Michigan (who profess more solidarity with Hamas than lament the murder of a fellow citizen) than US interests in the Middle East. He customarily and matter-of-factly issued one of his empty editorials before returning to form by performance art blasting Israel.
In Biden’s world, our closest and only democratic ally in the Middle East is at fault because it will not, this election year, give constant concessions to the murderous Hamas clique. Biden-Harris forget that Hamas started the current war by butchering 1,200 Israelis at a time of peace, scrambled back to its subterranean labyrinth with over 250 hostages, hid their terrorist killers under schools, hospitals, and mosques, murdered any who were about to be rescued by Israeli forces, and promised to kill more if rescue attempts continue.
The Biden-Harris messaging seems simple: pro-Western, civilized, and consensually governed nations are rational and so listen to the U.S. and therefore should be leveraged and often punished for rationality; anti-American, medieval, and theocratic terrorist cabals do not and therefore should be appeased and exempted from criticism or retaliation given their lawlessness.
Normally, when asked about foreign threats to harm Americans or their interests, Biden gives one of his accustomed blowhard, one-word threats, “Don’t!” That empty and tired banality is now interpreted abroad as zero consequences will follow when you harm America. As a general rule, an animated Biden is far more likely to threaten to beat up or go after Trump than Hamas or Iran.
Harris has been mum—other than her usual on the one hand/on the other hand vacuity. Her vice presidential candidate running mate, the usually frenetic and loquacious Tim Walz, when asked directly about the murder of an American hostage, similarly goes mum—and simply waved off the question and turned away. Walz seems as terrified as Harris of any unrehearsed utterance, as if he knows only his silence masks his foolery.
Brazil, as was warned by many, is heading toward full-scale Latin American communism of the Venezuela/Nicaragua/Cuba sort. It is now waging a censorship war against Elon Musk with the tacit approval of the Biden-Harris consortium—for the crime of turning the former useful Twitter leftwing and censored megaphone into a global free speech pavilion.
Ukraine has now been inside Mother Russia for weeks, which is strategically understandable but geo-strategically dangerous against a nuclear hyperpower run by a ruthless dictator. Biden has no clue what the U.S. is doing other than supplying enough arms to Ukraine not to lose but more than enough to trigger a wider theater war. Ask Biden and Harris what the U.S. strategy is on Ukraine, and one will mumble incomprehensibly, the other, if unguarded, plunge into a circular word salad about the “art of diplomacy” or “democratic fragility.”
Iran is more afraid of an Israeli response than U.S. threats.
Or is it worse than that? Does the theocracy now rely on Biden-Harris to restrain any Israeli retaliation for the tens of thousands of rockets launched by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran against the Jewish state.?
All Biden-Harris had to do was continue the Trump protocol of warning Iran to stay out of the conflict. Instead, it de facto greenlighted the Iranian supply chain to Hamas and Hezbollah and turned all of them loose to murder.
In truth, US foreign policy toward Iran is the resumption of the Obama-era embrace of the supposed underdog Shiite/Persian counterweight to Gulf moderates and democratic Israel. Biden-Harris cares not a whit whether Iran goes nuclear and might even in their warped Ben-Rhodes/Barack Obama-era imbecility tacitly support such nuclearization to “rein in” the Jewish state.
Mexico’s outgoing “president,” Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has now unabashedly also gone full communist. As he preps the way for his even harder-left successor, Obrador is seeking to destroy what is left of Mexico’s democracy.
AMLO, remember, bragged of the tens of millions of illegal aliens that Mexico drove out and into the U.S.—especially given the $60 billion in remittances they send to prop up an otherwise failed narco-state. In retirement, he will brag that he was the first Mexican president to destroy the U.S. border.
He even urged all Mexican-American expatriates to vote anti-Republican. For the next few months, he will cooperate with the US to slow down the influx northward in order to allow Harris-Biden to claim they are for pre-November 5 election-cycle “border security.” And thereby help Harris get elected and welcome in another 10 million illegal aliens.
In his delusions, AMLO—who proved one of the truly dangerous anti-Americans on the world stage—thinks he is winning phase two of the 19th-century Mexican War. In fact, all he is proving is that millions of Mexicans want out of his country and only romanticize it when they are safely and permanently distant from its numerous failed paradigms.
In sum, there really is no President Biden or Vice President Harris. The former is non compos mentis and failing ever more rapidly. The latter has no clue who she is or what she should do. The cabal that engineered their respective exits and entrances cares more about retaining power than using it for American interests.
So, we are in perilous times.
All of our enemies and even former neutrals are coming out of the woodwork. They are convinced that the next two months offer one-time advantages—unless Harris is elected and thus can extend their opportunities for four more years of what Americans see as a chaotic decline, but the world abroad views as a rare and ripe opportunity.
As a general rule, an animated Biden is far more likely to threaten to beat up or go after Trump than Hamas or Iran.
This is the foreign policy of the Biden-Harris regime. Very simply, it is the weaponization of the US government against political opponents of the neo-Marxist junta that overtook the government in 2020.
If Harris wins it looks to me like America is going to supply and support another decade of war funded by the middle class which will toil under new taxes to support the military industrial complex. Dittos for additional debt — and it will be massive. I must go further. America will no longer be the custodian of world peace. It will become the harbinger of WW III and it will go bankrupt in the process. Think about Social Security and Medicare. It will not just be the debt funding wars simultaneously with the cost of the programs themselves that takes them down. It will be the infusion of a massive influx of migrants. Lawlessness will not just find a repository in the government bureaucracies. It will be in neighborhoods that will become like Aurora, Colorado. Can anyone expect their local community police to save their properties, prevent the rape of their daughters and protect them if they attempt to do something about it?
The petro dollar is going to be hit hard and debased significantly. Watch the purchasing power using saved assets which are not pegged to inflation. There will be dead bodies littering what were once peaceful neighborhoods not in just America but all over the world. And if citizens complain about it on social media they run the risk of an indictment and incarceration. Brazil and Venezuela are now the American model for freedom of speech and press.
The middle class is hollowed out. There will be no “middle class” by the time unrealized gains are taxed. Look at the latest government lies aka Jobs Report. Full-time jobs replaced by part-time jobs. American citizens replaced by foreigners. Government jobs (not real jobs!) replacing private sector opportunity. No gains in real income. Citizens choosing between gas or food. Goldman Sachs pushing invasion and violence in our neighborhoods and cities. No consequences for that. Haitian migrants camped out on Ohioans lawns? TDA gang taking over apartment complexes in Colorado? When all else fails, there’s self-help.
There will also be no such thing as “retirement” when the government comes for your 401K, IRA. People warned about this when the presidential poseur, Barak Hussein Obama, was installed into the U.S. Presidency. Fake Presidents (Obama, Biden, a possible Harris regime) beget real catastrophes. Republicans are the ultimate “Go Along to Get Along” Party. Even when they have power, they do not assert it for the good of the country or its people. Instead of challenging destructive forces and vanquishing them, Republicans always (!) choose the path of least resistance to the detriment of Americans.
Even before each of us is a Democrat or Republican, we are American citizens and we hold certain truths to be self-evident. We respect private property. We respect Free Speech, Free Assembly, Free Exercise, etc… Can anyone honestly state that the people in charge are “American”, because I do not agree that they are.
Can Americans assert any claim to “ownership” or even “possession” of any tangible or intangible property if they cannot or will not defend it from usurpers, thieves and frauds? If Americans will not or do not defend their own rights, do they possess them? Standing naked in front of the world now, America is revealed as a country filled with cowards and blowhards. Even the Brazilians cherish Free Speech more than we do. Perhaps the Founding Father we ought to cherish is Thomas Paine, for we are the nation of summer soldiers and sunshine patriots.
The plan is to replace Americans with migrants who have zero understanding of individual liberty and depend on a government who they will reward with their votes to steal the wealth of a shrinking middle class who work to support them as in the H.G. Wells “Time Machine” where the Eloi supported the Morlocks. Actually they didn’t just support them. They were eaten by them!
You have an excellent grasp of things. Most people don’t. I go out of my way to speak to a lot of different people and especially Zoomers and Millennials. Even more than most they live in bubbles and the government does what it can through educational indoctrination techniques and the propaganda media. Most of all they are kept economically as pain free as possible with loans, subsidies and promises of additional benefits. They live at home, date those in the same strata, are unburdened my marriage obligations and complain that housing costs are too high, food costs have skyrocketed and eating out requires using a credit card that is maxed out. Yet their solution is to vote for the very people who create their complaints. Then they echo their understandings back and forth among their friends who think the same way. It is a pack mentality that reinforces itself. I don’t get angry with them because they never learned. What is most disconcerting is that they were indoctrinated by the aforementioned educational institutions and media to be angry at us! We deserved 911, deserve to pay reparations and our wealth should be confiscated using an Act of Congress to propel them into retirement even before they start their careers. I learned how they think by avoiding direct conversational conflict, by asking mundane questions, telling them how smart and capable they are (and they are) and listening to their responses. But most of all I watch what they do and almost without exception they contribute to the problems they complain about. Women are worse because they are on a physiological time line. Young men are not affected by romance and pregnancies. And you can see it in the polls. Once again it is not their fault because they did not create themselves so I kind of look at them as victims. Every political charlatan knows how to incite emotional responses by pointing out these disparities conjoined with solutions based upon snatching and transferring equity, from rightful owners, which goes straight to the heart of property as in Jefferson’s broader definition that makes “the pursuit of happiness (property)” a founding a right conferred at birth to every individual by the God that created Nature. There you have it… a recipe to destroy western civilization by the very people who have not a clue as to what to replace it with other than what regimes throughout history have already failed to do.
