When Joey Met Leni

During the DNC, the Democrats bumped Biden’s speech, as the New York Post put it, “past his bedtime” but Biden managed to read the boilerplate composed by his woke-left-globalist handlers. He did the same on September 1, 2022, backdropped in blood red, with U.S. Marines at the ready, like something staged by Nazi cineaste Leni Riefenstahl,. The Delaware Democrat told the nation:

Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.

Now, I want to be very clear —  very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans.  Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.

That’s why respected conservatives, like Federal Circuit Court Judge Michael Luttig, has called Trump and the extreme MAGA Republicans, quote, a “clear and present danger” to our democracy. But while the threat to American democracy is real, I want to say as clearly as we can: We are not powerless in the face of these threats.  We are not bystanders in this ongoing attack on democracy. There are far more Americans — far more Americans from every — from every background and belief who reject the extreme MAGA ideology than those that accept it.

And now America must choose: to move forward or to move backwards?  To build the future or obsess about the past?  To be a nation of hope and unity and optimism, or a nation of fear, division, and of darkness?

MAGA Republicans have made their choice.  They embrace anger.  They thrive on chaos.  They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies. But together — together, we can choose a different path.  We can choose a better path.  Forward, to the future.  A future of possibility.  A future to build and dream and hope.

And so on. Joe Biden always knows best and Americans of other parties are only okay when they agree with Joe. Any American who wants the nation to be great is a “clear and present danger,” language normally reserved for foreign foes. Those so branded might recall a few realities.

As a student, Joe Biden was a bottom feeder and even hagiographical hooey like Mark Bowden’s 2010 Atlantic profile conceded that Biden was a semi-literate plagiarist. As a senator, the Delaware Democrat was a consort of segregationists and Ku Kluckers like Robert Byrd. When “soldier of Allah” Nidal Hasan gunned down 13 Americans at Fort Hood in 2009, vice president Biden wouldn’t say their names, explain how they “fell,” or condemn the terrorist mass murderer.

The Chinese Communists murdered 60 million and deploy military force against pro-democracy demonstrators. In 2019 Joe Biden said they were “not bad folks,” and not even competition for the United States. By 2020 the Big Guy had trouble with basic motor functions and often seemed unsure of his own location. He failed to campaign, but the people are to believe that in the allegedly cleanest-ever election Joe Biden won fair and square.

On day one in the White House, Biden destroyed the border and proceeded to green-light an invasion of 10 million illegals, with no criminal background checks. Biden canceled hard-won energy independence and launched an inflation cycle that punished the people. In Conrad Black’s phrase, Biden was a waxworks effigy of a president, but that might be too kind. For all but the willfully blind, the Delaware Democrat belongs in the ranks of worst politicians, and worst people, in national history.

Joe Biden told the people covid was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” which wasn’t true. He caved to the Taliban, handed over billions in military hardware, and called the whole operation an “extraordinary success.”  In his DNC speech, Biden said the pro-Hamas protesters “have a point,” but didn’t say what it was, or if he agreed. The Delaware Democrat did all that, and much more, but this pasty faced poltroon should be remembered for his September 1, 2022 hate speech – unless one of the forces that really are a clear and present danger decide to throw down in the next five months. Should that take place, Biden could be remembered for his unconditional surrender speech. In the meantime, it’s all about memory against forgetting.
