I always cringed at campaigns that claimed: “Vote for Joe, It’s Time For Change.” What does that mean? What are we changing and why? What will the change look like, and will society be better off? We took away two days to remember those evil men from the past, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and replaced them with one generic day; President’s Day. How did that work out? We erased the man who helped a ragtag group of farmers and merchants defeat the most outstanding military of its time and defined our Presidency. We eradicated the man who defeated slavery and healed our divided country after a bloody civil war. We now have a generic day to remember Richard Nixon, who left his office in disgrace, and Jimmy Carter, who left the country in shambles. How did that work out?

The Democrat Party has become the crusaders of change with little concern for what is left in their wake. It is about being the face of the “change of the day,” and no explanation is needed. Look at the actions of Joe Biden on his first day in office. He used his pen to sign a stack of Executive Orders with the primary intention of supplanting Trump’s policies and initiatives, but without a plan to replace them with strategies that deliver positive results. He stopped the border wall construction and Remain in Mexico agreement with Mexico. No plan was in play to secure the Border, so we now have over two million illegal aliens crossing the Rio Grande and entering all parts of our country. New England may be thousands of miles from the Border, but we are all Border States under Biden’s leadership.

Along with the flood of illegals is the influx of drugs, specifically Fentanyl. We are losing over 100,000 Americans between 18 and 45, poisoned by this evil drug manufactured in China and processed by the cartels in Mexico. It was essential to change the situation at the Mexican Border to keep the promises Biden made to his base during the campaign. He had no plan to replace what he ended, and now we have chaos at the Border. We have lost our sovereignty, but we have change. Isn’t that great?

The voters decided they wanted a calmer, gentler President who didn’t Tweet. What they got in Biden is all of that and more. A part-time President with no respect on the Global stage, the Joe Biden Presidency has disrupted the world’s stability. Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and Saudi Arabia did not dare step out of line with Trump at the helm. With Joe Biden, the Paper Lion, in the Oval Office, these countries know that there will be no resistance to anything they do by Joe Biden. Eighty-one million people, dead and alive, voted for change, and they certainly got it. We now have war in Ukraine, Taiwan under threat, Korean missiles flying toward Japan, and Iran on the verge of having nuclear weapons aimed at Israel. Saudi Arabia and OPEC Plus are giving Joe the middle finger instead of the oil desperately needed by America and the world.

In less than two years, we have taken a country poised to rebound from the Pandemic and turned it into Jimmy Carter’s America. But we have change. Shouldn’t that make us feel good?
