Joe Biden is facing an uphill reelection battle.
He is desperate, and he should be. The world is an uglier and an uglier place under Biden. Nearly no one believes the country is moving in the right direction. Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the economy; America is experiencing an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis; and the world seems to be on fire, from the Middle East to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Biden himself is clearly ailing; as comedian Shane Gillis recently said, “My favorite thing about Biden is anytime Biden finishes a speech, he transforms into a Roomba.” This is clearly true. In fact, after Biden’s recent diatribe against Donald Trump at Valley Forge, Dr. Jill Biden — the greatest physician in all the land — charged up on the stage like a shepherd attempting to pen in a wandering sheep, corralling the president toward the back of the stage.
So, what can Biden do?
He can pull out all the scare tactics he knows.
And that’s precisely what he’s doing, fully 10 months from the 2024 election.
His campaign is predicated on two main issues: Trump, and also Trump.
First, Biden argues, Donald Trump is apparently a threat to democracy. Biden stated at Valley Forge, “Donald Trump’s campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. He’s willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power.” He said this in the middle of a speech about the evils of Jan. 6 — while labeling Trump an insurrectionist, which presumably would disqualify Trump from the ballot. Biden’s own Department of Justice has hit Trump with two separate federal criminal cases, one in Florida, the other in Washington, D.C.
It is, in other words, a tough case to make that Trump is the true threat to democracy, while Biden is democracy’s defender.
Second, Biden argues, Donald Trump is a white supremacist. Biden stated at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina — the site of a white supremacist mass shooting in 2015 — that Trump’s election denial represented a “second lost cause,” somehow comparable to the Southern Lost Cause narrative that portrayed the loss of the Civil War as the death of a grand and glorious way of life at the hands of perfidious Yankees. Yes, Biden suggested, Trump was akin to the Confederates. And he, Joe Biden, would stand in their way.
Biden has made this case before. Against — yes, really — Mitt Romney. Back in 2012, Biden argued that Romney would put Black Americans “back in chains.” Suffice it to say that Biden has little credibility trying to breathe new life into that political corpse.
Joe Biden requires Donald Trump. He needs him.
But he’s still unlikely to beat him.
That’s why Biden is steering so strongly to his left rather than toward the middle. At his speech in Charleston, pro-Hamas protesters began chanting for a ceasefire in Gaza, which would leave Hamas in power after the Oct. 7 massacre. Biden sheepishly replied, “I understand their passion, and I’ve been quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza.”
Biden can’t leave any stone, no matter how radical, unturned.
And that tactic will, in turn, drive away many moderate voters who are sick of the chaos the Biden era has ushered in.
In short, Biden is re-running his 2020 campaign. There’s one big difference this time: This time, Joe Biden is the president. And we all know it.

The treasonous, corrupt, puppet Joe Beijing Biden is desperate, and he should be. The world is an uglier and an uglier place under Biden. Nearly no one believes the country is moving in the right direction. Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the economy; America is experiencing an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis; and the world seems to be on fire, from the Middle East to Ukraine.
We have all seen the same deceptive destructive treachery that we are seeing now under the Obama/Biden administration.
And we are seeing it again under the puppet Biden/Obama administration.
On January 29, 2014 the Obama administration posted a notice for “Escort Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children” on FedBizOpps.gov. At that time the estimate was for 65,000 children and the escorts were needed to help the children being transported to “Refugee Resettlement shelters located throughout the continental United States.”
The question that has yet to have been answered is how did the Obama administration know in January that the “children” would be arriving later in the year if he did not plan it?
What Americans are witnessing is a planned illegal alien invasion of the nation, orchestrated by Obama.
The illegal alien invasion is just the latest element of what has been a deliberate Obama policy to ensure that as many illegal aliens as possible can get into the nation and add to the burden of various programs to aid them. The political reason for this is that they will constitute more Democrats, but they would have to be legal to vote and the refusal of the Republican Party to embrace amnesty has kept that from happening.
Jul 8, 2014, Obama request for $3.7 billion to address the border crisis “is so much smoke and mirrors,” legislators, law enforcement and other federal officials said. The bulk of the money is earmarked for resettlement rather than for removal and border enforcement. Out of the White House’s $3.7 billion request, $1.8 billion, or about 49% of the entire supplemental request, would go to HHS for resettlement of illegal minors and entire family units, including adult men and women. Funds would be provided “for acquisition, construction, improvement, repair, operation and maintenance of real property and facilities” According to internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement documents, 47% of the adults subject to expedited removal would be relocated and resettled in the U.S.
The administration’s supplemental request also includes a “general provision” by which it would be allowed to move around as much as 30% of the funding as they choose. The Department of Justice (DOJ) would be given $15 million to hire attorneys to defend unaccompanied alien children against deportation in removal proceedings before an immigration judge and $1.1 million would be given to DOJ for “immigration litigation attorneys.”
Does this sound like Obama wants to secure the border or to send these illegal immigrants home?
Obama’s illegal border child escort servces of 2014 just matured into Joe and Hunter’s illegal mass migration pole dancing hooker escort servicing in 2020. Their fathering of these children, like the fathering of their own, just reproduced the very images of themselves, where “Incest is Best” where it concerns feeding off, not fedding OF the family America, led by fatherless people with the morality of a tit-mouse, where there is no protecting father around, even when alive and present, that the apples they produce that fall not far from their tree, (Not the tree of Liberty) soon become rotton to the core.
HE put that request out, because he WANTED THEM TO come here.
To paraphrase FDR, “All we have to fear, besides Joe’s depleted brain and morality decline, is the desperate fear itself he creates to scare weak minded socially dependent people into supporting him.” The illusion of integrity, he presents to disguise his and his party’s rabid foreign socialism as patriotic American democracy, is the last refuge of this scoundrel. He has exhausted, his “fooling some of the people some of the time”, and “all of THE PEOPLE some of the time” and now in desperation has to attempt to fool all of THE PEOPLE, all of the time,,,or perish,,,,but as Lincoln warned, it just never works out in the end, not when the pain of following fools becomes too great. Fear only works when THE PEOPLE are weak. Americans are not weak uneducated Russian Surfs, WWI destroyed Germans, or starving Hutti or Gazan desert tribesmen. Joe Biden is the prime example of what happens when weak men attempt to govern strong people. Either the weak leaders are forced to gain strength which never happens under socialism, or strong people are forced to become weak and fearful, which is what ALWAYS happens under socialism. Making America Great Again will be, and is becoming their eventual undoing. Nature never abides a fool for long, and is definitely on our side, not Joe and Kamala’s once their true intentions and weak insufficiencies are finally found out.
