When Barack Obama took office in 2009, he embarked on a worldwide tour to apologize to all for the imperialistic actions of our young nation. The irony in that statement is that the United States never entered into armed conflict with any country to take territory from a foe. The other is that no other country on earth has ever come to the aid of others or lost more sons and daughters for the sake of others than the United States. We had nothing to apologize for, but our President was bowing down to European and Middle Eastern leaders. It was a defining moment in the Obama tenure that damaged our standing and respect around the globe.

President Trump earned some of that respect back, but respect is not something that ebbs and flows. Respect is not something that you can turn off like a switch. Under Trump, America was not feared, but with a rebuilt military and a commitment to defend ourselves regardless of the foe, we had e renewed sense of security and four years void of conflict. Biden followed Obama’s model, and we quickly regained a supine position. The abysmal exit from Afghanistan set the tone for our role as a world power, and we opened the door for China to assume a dominant position as the alpha country that dominates all others. This new world order is why China threatens Taiwan and moves into the Middle East. It is why Russia felt no resistance to invading Ukraine. It is why Iran is close to possessing offensive nuclear weapons. And finally, it is why over five million unvetted illegal aliens have entered our country through a porous unprotected southern border.

In Biden’s Administration’s most recent show of submission, Secretary of State Blinken is in China being schooled by the Xi regime on what China expects of us. We are no longer calling the shots. Biden stunned the country on Saturday by apologizing to China for assuming the balloon that traversed America in February was an intentional action by the CCP. Biden is now telling the world it was an accident and the Chinese government did not control the balloon’s path. To use one of Biden’s favorite words, malarkey.

We know that Biden is compromised by China, Russia, Ukraine, and who knows how many other regimes, and Xi may as well have written this apology. What could be the purpose of this uncalled-for statement by our President other than doing the bidding for China. First, the Administration tried to convince the American people that the Chinese have been using surveillance balloons since the Trump term, and now we are to believe that this balloon was caught up in the jet stream and the Chinese could not direct its flight. Incredible luck that the jet stream brought this balloon over many of our most critical military bases.

If we buy this malarkey, we may believe the COVID Pandemic was caused by a bat, that Fentanyl doesn’t originate in China, and that the Chinese police stations in our major cities were take-out kiosks. This Administration cannot be straight with the American people, and they are not working on our behalf. We are not in a position to successfully impeach both Biden and Harris, but we have to create a strong enough case that the media cannot ignore. We cannot sit back and hope for a win in 2024. We can no longer count on fair elections. We have to get down on their level and beat them their way. Losing is not an option.
