“Jeg forstår magt!”

Det var Bidens afsluttende bemærkning for sin mindetale ved Valley Forge for optøjerne ved Capitol 6. januar 2021, inden Førstedamen Dr. Jill tog ham ved hånden og førte ham sikkert væk fra podiet. “DR’s USA-korrespondent Philip Khokhar kalder det en “Biden i topform”, der skød den politiske sæson i gang.” 

Det var en usædvanligt hård Biden, der virkelig havde taget fløjlshandskerne af, siger Philip Khokhar.

– Det er ikke, fordi det er nye toner, men den samlede mængde var usædvanligt hård fra en mand, der trods alt besidder USA’s højeste embede.

– Så hårdt plejer man ikke at gå efter sine politiske modstandere i USA – medmindre man hedder Donald Trump.

Khokar funderer dog at “der vil også være amerikanere, der nok finder den her tale en lille smule højtravende”. Aha. En af de amerikanere er ikke Jonathan Turley, der kaldte Bidens tale  “a masterpiece of contradiction” og minder om Bidens “checkered history of violating the Constitution…

Biden started by denouncing how Donald Trump’s campaign is only “about him” and “obsessed with the past.” He then spent virtually all of the speech obsessing about Trump and Jan. 6, 2021.

It was an early indication of the Orwellian character of the speech. Facing the lowest polling numbers of any modern president, Biden attempted a constructive substitution. “Democracy is on the ballot,” he said. So voters do not have to vote for him. When they see Biden, they should just read “democracy.”

That will require more than an act of substitution in the voting booth. It would require an act of willful blindness.

Biden spoke of how Democrats are fighting to protect the “right to vote.” Democratic activists and officials across the country are seeking to remove Trump from the ballot even though he is the most popular choice for the presidency right now.  

(…)

Democratic officials are approaching democracy the way Henry Ford responded to calls for different color choices for the Model T. He pledged to provide “any color the customer wants, as long as it’s black.” In this election, voters can choose anyone they want, as long as it is Biden.

For millions of voters, democracy may be on the ballot but it is aspirational. If you vote for Biden, you might just get democracy back, but only after the election.

Even more galling was Biden’s claim to be the defender of free speech. As I have previously written, Biden has been the most anti-free speech president since John Adams. His administration has been unrelenting in pushing for censorship and blacklisting of those with opposing views.

The Biden censorship efforts have been described by one federal court as unprecedented in our history and a virtual “Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.’” The Biden Administration has called for the censorship of even true statements that it deems misleading

For Biden to run on free speech is about as convincing as Bill Clinton running on abstinence. 

(…)

Moreover, Biden’s effort to champion the Constitution was contradicted by a long line of decisions finding that he has violated the Constitution with impunity. This includes rulings that his administration has exceeded his authority and engaged in racial discrimination in federal programs. Indeed, Biden has often displayed a cavalier attitude toward such violations. 

For example, the Biden administration was found to have violated the Constitution in its imposition of a nationwide eviction moratorium through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  Biden admitted that his White House counsel and most legal experts told him the move was unconstitutional. But he ignored their advice and went with that of Harvard University Professor Laurence Tribe, the one person who would tell him what he wanted to hear. It was, of course, then quickly found to be unconstitutional.

Biden showed the same disregard over the unconstitutionality of his effort to unilaterally forgive roughly half a trillion dollars in student debt. 

Biden rarely allows principle to stand before politics” konstaterer Turley. Men det er ikke indtrykket man får for sine licenskroner. Man skulle tro at Danmarks Radios budget blev spædet op med Demokratiske donationer og at disse kom med visse forventninger. “Biden’s campaign is hosting sessions with corporate media outlets, instructing them on how they can improve their reporting on Joe Biden and Donald Trump.” fortæller Kanakoa The Great

With Trump surging in national polls, Biden’s camp fears that the corporate media propaganda is too focused on Biden’s DOJ prosecuting Trump.

So, Biden campaign officials are breaking out spreadsheets in off-the-record meetings with top reporters and editors from the New York Times and the Washington Post, giving them lessons on proper 2024 election coverage.

President Biden’s campaign will also be giving lessons to political reporting teams from ABC, NBC, The Wall Street Journal, Fox, NPR, Reuters, Bloomberg, and others at the team’s headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.

Postmillenial havde samlet nogle udpluk, af ‘demente Hitlers’ tale

“All-out war is what Trump wants, that’s why he doesn’t understand the most fundamental truth about this country. Unlike other nations on earth, America is not built on ethnicity, religion, geography, we’re the only nation in the history of the world built on an idea.”

Trump var den første præsident i 40 år, der ikke startede en ny krig. ‘Fred gennem styrke’ eller Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum, var hans filosofi. I modsætning til Biden, der praler af at føre en proxy krig i Ukraine med en dominoteori som undskyldning. Ideen om at alle kan søge lykken uanset race, religion eller køn gjorde Biden op med allerede inden han blev præsident ved at annoncere at hans vicepræsident skulle være en kvinde af en hvis kulør.

Sådan fortsatte Biden sin tale fuld af projektioner. Efter hele Robert Mueller fadæsen er Trump  “election denier in chief“, mindede han om at “men and women are created equal” som han glemte, hvorledes hans administration har omfavnet trans-bevægelsen så meget at militæret mere eller mindre ledes af to fede midaldrende kvinder.

Dagen efter fortalte han den gamle løgn om, at han plejede at gå til gudstjeneste i en kirke med en sort menighed. Og at han startede borgerretsbevægelsen. “Biden has a long history of using race as a political weapon” skriver Cal Thomas

As a New York Post editorial noted, “(Biden has) pushed such baloney time and again.” He has claimed to have been arrested during civil rights demonstrations and while on the way to see Nelson Mandela in prison. Neither is true.

(…)

There was also his 2006 remark: “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” In 2020, he said if Blacks didn’t vote for him “you ain’t Black.” In 2010, he warmly eulogized Sen. Robert Byrd, a former Exalted Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan, saying he was “one of my mentors” and that “the Senate is a lesser place for his going.” As early as 1977, Biden said that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.” In 2007, he referred to Barack Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.”

Der er ikke andet end had til Trump og almindelige amerikanere tilbage i det Demokratiske parti, når det drejer sig om præsidentposten. Trump og ligesindede kandidater såsom Vivek Ramaswamy er løbet med al fornuftig og populær politik og de oser af energi og kompetence.

Ah ja, kompetence; hvad skal man sige om Det Hvide Hus stab, der beslutter, at de ikke vil fortælle præsidenten, at hans forsvarsminister, Lloyd Austin, har ligget på en intensivafdeling i 3 dage? At de er grotesk inkompetente? Eller at de vurderer at deres præsident er så inkompetent, at de blot ikke oplyser ham om noget som helst der foregår i den regering han repræsenterer. Og hvis man skjuler forsvarsministerens skrantende helbred, kan man så stole på at præsident Biden selv er “i topform”?
