With advancing age, people who are not skeptics say, comes wisdom, and certain infirmities, many of which have taken hold of President Joe Biden. These are visible to anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear. The man is not who he was. And who he was still remains a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
If
not the worse president in U.S. history, Biden is a close second or third. According
to FiveThirtyEight,
an aggregate poll, Biden’s disapproval numbers from Jan 2021 to June 2023 have increased
from 37% to 55%. Even radicals on the left who support his radical policies, many
of them disastrous, such as his unrelenting attacks on the internal combustion
engine, believe that others who are not faking American leftism, would be
preferable to Biden. Present Governor of California Gavin Newsom, who ruined
San Francisco as its mayor and California as its governor, has now set his eyes
on the presidency as an alternative to Biden. To Newsom’s right, is Robert F.
Kennedy Jr., the son of U.S. Attorney General and Senator Robert F. Kennedy and
nephew of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
Biden is expected to exercise his presidential prerogative
and refuse to debate his Democrat challengers in a primary.
Was it not the sainted President Barack Obama who said of Vice
President Biden, “Don't Underestimate
Joe's Ability to F*ck Things Up”?
Or did Obama
say it? Truth
checkers have done their best
to smother attribution in uncertainties, but in view of Biden’s current f*ck
ups, skeptics may be justified in thinking -- if Obama hadn’t launched the
quote, he should have.
Biden’s far left
policies have perforated the U.S. southern border, given aid, comfort and Bagram
Airfield in Afghanistan to the terrorist Taliban,
poured scarce oil on inflationary fires through reckless spending and the
borrowing and printing of money to finance his extravagant ways, and buried any
semblance of truth under mountains of rhetorical, “made in Washington, D.C.”
rubble.
Today brings news that the enemies of former President
Donald Trump, who are legion on both the right and left, may finally, after
many false starts, have caught the upstart disturber of the peace and arch hyperbolist
in an inescapable snare. Trump, along with many of his contemporaries – among
them Biden, Obama, Hillary Clinton, and former Vice President Mike Pence -- have
taken to private residences papers marked “secret” and, even worse, “top
secret” holding them there as prisoners not likely to escape to the foreign
enemies of the United States.
But Trump has slipped other poorly fashioned nooses held out
by Democrats still suffering under the lash of Trump’s presidential
inauguration on January 20, 2017.
Nonpartisans who write about politics know that there is but
one punishment for impeachment – removal from office. Though Trump was
impeached in the U.S. House twice, the U.S. Senate failed twice to act on the
House indictment and remove him from office, the first time because there were
not sufficient votes in the Senate to convict on the House impeachment
indictment, the second time shortly before Trump was due to leave office. Since
the object of impeachment is dismissal from office, a second impeachment may
seem redundant to fair-minded people.
Trump’s leave-taking was bizarre and resentful. The former
President still maintains he may have won the contest owing to ballot fraud. In
an equally bizarre twist, Connecticut’s two U.S. Senators, Dick Blumenthal and
Chris Murphy, supported moves to abolish the Electoral College to which Biden
owed his presidency.
Special prosecutor John Durham scrupulously investigated
what has been called “Crossfire Hurricane,” false claims that Trump had
conspired with Russian spies to rob Hillary Clinton of her due place as
president, and concluded in a definitive report that, "Our
investigation ... revealed that senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack
of analytical rigor toward the information that they received, especially information
received from politically affiliated persons and entities. In particular, there
was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or
indirectly) by Trump's political opponents. The Department did not adequately
examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them
before opening a full-scale investigation."
The report is painful to read and easily ignored or
discounted by click baiters in the nation’s anti-MAGA media, along with politicians
who are as painfully silent concerning the role played by Clinton and leading
Democrats in what, following the Durham report, can only be regarded as a
presidential destroying politically poisoned pill cleverly inserted into the
gullet of national politics.
All this and more – including First Son Hunter Biden’s
collusion for filthy lucre with the permanent enemies of the United States such
as fascist China – are, Democrats blithely suppose, to be forgotten by voters
in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
As journalists sometime say, “We shall see.”
