Intro

It's time for a reality check ...

Maybe we’ve reached the point of diminishing astonishment.

But I suspect that much of what we’re hammered with every day really doesn’t make much of an impact on most of us anymore. We’ve heard the same stories too often. We’ve been exposed to the same issues for so long without any meaningful resolution. We recognize that reality is rapidly becoming malleable, primarily in the hands of whoever has the biggest microphone. How else can we explain a society where myth asserts itself as reality, based entirely how many hits it gets online?

We know that many of the “issues” as defined are pure crapola, hyped by politicians on both sides pandering to “the will of the people,” which is still more crapola. Inevitably, it’s not the will of all the people they reflect, but the will of relatively small groups of people with disproportionate political influence.

Nobody wants to face up to the realities of the issues. Nobody wants to say what’s right or wrong – even when it’s obvious and there are numbers to back it up. Most of us are afraid to bring up the realities for fear of being accused of being insensitive or downright mean.

So we say nothing. Until now.

It’s time for a reality check on the fundamentals – much of which is common knowledge to many of us, already. But it might be comforting to know you are not alone …

Why Democrats are running scared ...

They have every reason to be.
 
That’s why they’re in such a rush to cut every corner, break every rule if necessary, to get as much of their looney agenda passed or at least in place before their time’s up.  It’s why Joe’s staff is trying to accomplish everything they can via Executive Orders now.  He’s not even sure what he’s signing much of the time, but his handlers keep egging him on. 
 
They know that at best they have two years before they probably lose control of the House and most likely the Senate, too.  By then they hope to have displaced Joe and have Kamala in the Oval Office.  Their hope is that she can hold on until 2024 when she’ll get the boot. 
 
In the meantime, Democrats have to contend with the almost half the voting population that feels cheated in the last election. They also have to deal with all the moderates and independents who voted for Joe because he promised he would be bipartisan and certainly not radical if elected. 
 
He wasn’t going to ban drilling, or fracking.  He wasn’t going to shut down projects that employed thousands of union folks.  He wasn’t going to push the Green New Deal.  He wasn’t going to push the socialist agenda of the progressives. 
 
C’mon man … Joe would say while campaigning, you know me – I’m not some radical.
 
Now they feel cheated too because Joe isn’t keeping his word. It appears he never intended to. In short, Joe’s the same old spineless weasel who would say anything, blatantly lie, and do whatever his donors required to get elected, as he did for almost 40 years already. 
 
Way down deep, Joe’s shallow. There no there, there with Joe. Never has been.  There’s even less there now, as Joe clearly has trouble talking coherently without a script in front of him.  Take away Joe’s teleprompter and he’s lost. Honestly, even with the teleprompter he screws up. 
 
He has no idea what he’s doing or what he’s signing.  Recently, he was caught on a hot mic confessing he had no idea what he was signing at that moment – another of his Executive Orders/Actions; one of his handlers off camera told him to just sign it. 
 
Which of course he did. He does what he’s told. 
 
Which made him the perfect Trojan Horse to get a shameless political prostitute like Kamala Harris – someone who literally slept her way to the top of California state politics – into the Presidency. Make no mistake, that’s the plan: a couple of months of Joe and then he’s replaced. Democrats have been telegraphing that move ever since Joe got the nomination.
 
Plus, Kamala’s ascent would be Democrats’ dream come true: the first female President and the first female President of color.  And Democrats treasure “the first” token whatever. The first Latino/Latina whatever. The first transgender whatever.  The first openly gay whatever.  The first Native American whatever.  The first double amputee lesbian whatever.  Whatever ... 
 
Forget that Kamala’s a conniving weasel who accused Biden of being a racist during the primaries. Forget that she had to drop out of the primaries because she was polling at less than 1%. Forget that another reason was because she was facing a near-certain primary defeat in her home state of California, where she was Attorney General before winning her Senate seat.   
 
Forget that she’s exaggerated about her heritage and her struggles as a black child dealing with racism in America.  And that when asked as a toddler what she wanted most, she said “fweedom.” Which would be cute if not stolen from Martin Luther King, Jr. 
 
She’s not African American, either. Nor did she come from working-class, blue collar parents.  She has a Jamaican-born father with a Ph.D. who later became Professor Emeritus of Economics at Stanford, and an Indian mother, renowned for her work in breast cancer research, who earned her doctorate in nutrition and endocrinology at age 25 from Berkeley. That’s not hardscrabble by any measure.  Kamala was in no way a disadvantaged child.  
 
Everything about her is contrived and faked.  She once said in an interview pot smoking came naturally to her because of her Jamaican roots. “Half my family’s from Jamaica, are you kidding me?” she said. Her own Jamaican-born father was insulted by that – in effect, stereotyping all Jamaicans as pot smoking joy seekers.  He publicly called her out and said her reliance on “identity politics” to get ahead politically was a “travesty.”   
 
Joe knows – or perhaps he doesn’t – that he doesn’t have a lot of time remaining in the Oval Office. In any case, he’s rushing to sign as much as he can before he’s asked, or pushed, to move out.  There’s a feeling by pretty much everyone in DC that he’s part of a clear bait-and-switch strategy.  He may be so befuddled he can’t see it, but it will happen. 
 
Democrat Senate and House leaders know there’s no way the public wants Congress to enact the progressive agenda of AOC and the Squad. The public doesn’t want taxpayer funded abortions, packing the Supreme Court, the Green New Deal, socialism, or putting Federal bureaucrats in charge of deciding what’s acceptable speech.  

Pelosi and Schumer also know Puerto Ricans repeatedly have voted against becoming a state, the Constitution prevents Congress from making DC a state, and prevents Congress from allowing the Feds to take total control over our elections from the states.
 
It's like their unconstitutional attempt to try a former President in the Senate on a sham impeachment passed without any witnesses in a kangaroo court-like affair in the House. Quite simply, you can’t remove a President from an office he no longer has.     
 
The truth is, they know they don’t have the public on their side on any of these issues. So all of this is for show – to appease their more radical elements.
 
We just have to wait out two years. We can only hope they don't get us into any stupid, wasteful wars in that time.
