Joe Biden and his administration are transforming our country, setting new standards, and redefining essential parameters. We have seen how it is more important to have diversity in our leaders and staff than competence. We have the elderly, people of color, gays, transgender people, and even cross-dressers from the President to Directors in our Nuclear Energy Agency instead of the greatest minds available. This change in priority brought complete dysfunction to our Executive Branch and a country floundering when we should be thriving as we come out of the Pandemic.

We have a population struggling to balance budgets with skyrocketing costs and supply chain issues while the government finds creative new ways to define inflation and recession. The President gaslights America telling how successful his economic policies are as he taints the data to support his lies. Very few in government or the media call him out on his charade and sleight of hand.

We witnessed one of the greatest embarrassments of our military in the desertion of Afghanistan, leaving billions of dollars worth of equipment, untold numbers of Americans, and thousands of civilian aids to the will of the Taliban. We airlifted thousands of unvetted people from Afghanistan and dispersed them throughout our country while we abandoned thousands of Afghans that risked their lives to support our military. As we watch Afghans clinging to American transport jets taxiing down the runway, our President is lauding the most extraordinary human evacuation in history. President Biden tells us not to believe our eyes but to listen to the story he is weaving.

We watch the insurrection and assault at the Southern Border, with millions of unvetted people entering and dispersing throughout America and an administration that refers to the crisis as an immigration problem. The problem, in their eyes, is not the millions invading our country but the lack of speed in processing them. Our sovereignty has been destroyed.

We now manipulate the news to impact elections. We create fictitious stories like the Russian Dosier and use them to destroy a Presidency and then suppress the truth of the Biden Laptop so that it will not kill a candidacy. We use the FBI to raid a former President’s home in search of classified documents but sit back as a sitting President has his lawyers search his property for similar documents with no FBI agents to be seen. The media, which is supposed to protect the people from such hypocrisy, is complicit in its silence.

We have an incompetent Press Secretary who is only at the podium because of her gender, color, and sexual orientation and repeats incessantly how transparent this administration is and then refuses to answer questions citing “the process.” Hiding behind the process, referring all questions to the DOJ, and holding the release of information until it is politically expedient is not transparent. But it is in today’s America thanks to Joe Biden and Democrats.

The health and future of this country should concern every American. We are losing our identity, and the many problems we see are dismissed by redefining them. Our cities are mismanaged into ruin, and it will inevitably spread to the suburbs. Our government proves to be more corrupt daily, and our education system is failing our future generations. Money is becoming meaningless, and we used to think that government spending and wasting billions was a concern, and now we talk in the trillions. As we saw in the 2022 midterms, the saddest thing might be that we keep sending the same people to Washington and expecting better results. We are conspiring in our demise. Let’s wake up and demand better.
