When Joe Biden was inaugurated in January 2021, despite COVID-19, the economy was strong, the US border was protected and the world was largely peaceful, thanks to President Trump.
One and a half years later, owing to Biden's misgovernance,
ineptitude and lack of leadership the US and the world around have witnessed a
series of unprecedented catastrophes.
Inflation
in the US is at a 40-year high, resulting in a soaring
cost of living. The
supply chain crisis has caused a shortage of essential items
such as baby
formula. New York
City,
the world's financial capital, declared a state of emergency following the baby
formula shortage.
Under the Biden administration, the US border is unguarded
resulting in an unprecedented influx of illegal migrants and large-scale
trafficking of illicit narcotics such as
fentanyl. The crime
wave is
rampant with shootings
and gang violence becoming a frequent occurrence.
Beyond the US, Biden's ill-planned and hasty withdrawal
from Afghanistan left
that country volatile and showed the US as an unreliable and uncaring ally on
the global stage. This doubtlessly emboldened Russia to intervene
militarily in Ukraine. China is
now making aggressive overtures toward Taiwan.
On the rare occasions when he makes sense, Biden’s rhetoric is
divisive and irresponsible. He frequently demonizes his
political opponents. He makes reckless claims about the
potential and existing global conflicts that the White House is compelled to
repudiate. Every utterance from Kamala Harris is an unmitigated
embarrassment.
Even relentlessly obsequious Democrats lapdogs in the
news media are finding it impossible to disguise these disasters.
The Democrats seem to be on track to face an unequivocal
routing from the GOP during the midterms in November. Their
fanatical pro-abortion protests and insensitivity after the Texas shootout will
certainly make their defeat to be more emphatic.
With a Democrat defeat inevitable, the mainstream media are
now resorted to being petty in addition to being mendacious, biased, and
dishonorable.
They previously attempted to instigate
a squabble between their two foremost adversaries President
Donald Trump and Florida governor Ron DeSantis but failed spectacularly.
The overarching narrative that they are peddling is that
Trump's influence in the GOP is waning and voters are deserting Trump because
of 'his temperament and his character'.
Their biggest opportunity to push this narrative was the GOP
Primaries.
They focused on Georgia where some among the Trump-endorsed
candidates suffered losses. There were hit pieces provocatively headlined “Trump
exposes the limits of his power with ill-fated endorsements” or
“Trump
Vowed Vengeance, but Georgia Voters Rejected His Meddling” or “Trump
endorsements collapse in Georgia”
But the most unintentionally hilarious headline was from the
BBC. This is the very BBC that claims to always "act in the public
interest, serving all audiences through the provision of impartial,
high-quality and distinctive output"
The ticker on BBC World News on TV carried the caption, "Trump-backed
Perdue trounced by Pence's pick”. The BBC’s American cousin,
CNN, carried a column headlined “Mike Pence's big night”.
CNN’s
column by Michael D’Antonio claimed “Mike Pence may well mark
Tuesday's Georgia gubernatorial primary as the moment when his 2024 presidential
bid got real”. Also, Pence is “posing as a kind of anti-Trump, appears to be
edging closer to a showdown with the former president over the GOP's 2024 White
House nomination. Along the way, he seems to have settled into a now-familiar
role as the Republican contender who, in his own words, has described himself
as conservative, but not angry about it". The
piece concludes by invoking the divine claiming “Pence's faith would also
suggest that as he mounts a campaign, he believes that he has support for the
most significant ally of all, the creator himself.”
The narrative being pushed is that Pence endorsed Governor
Brian Kemp while Trump supported former US Sen. David Perdue. The
voters overwhelmingly voted for Kemp because of Pence’s endorsement.
What they are concealing is what Former Speaker of the
House Newt
Gingrich observed about the contest in Georgia. Governor
Kemp mounted a very strong campaign by using all the tools at his disposal that
a sitting governor had. Kamp managed to raise a considerable amount of money.
Kemp dedicated the final phase of the primary demolishing of Perdue as a
candidate but Perdue did not have the budget to counter Kemp's attacks.
Mike Pence was a passenger and not the driver of Governor
Brian Kemp’s electoral vehicle that raced to victory by a wide margin.
The media is obviously pitting Pence against Trump because a
Republican taking on another Republican that ends up hurting both of them both
and polarizing voters during the main contest is what they fantasize about.
The only problem with this fictitious narrative is that the
meek and mild Mike Pence lack the charisma, the verve, the energy, the
enthusiasm, and the grass-root support to even think to take on Trump. Trump
prevailed over adversaries that were myriad times tougher and more astute than
Pence during the GOP Primary, during the main contest, and during his
Presidency.
CNN is now using ‘sources’ to claim that Trump approved
of the alleged "hang Mike Pence" chants from protesters
who broke into the US Capitol. They are probably hoping Pence will retaliate by
dishing out dirt on Trump should a contest occur.
Pence was a good Vice President for most of his term. But in a
contest against Trump, he doesn’t stand a chance. Pence himself and the media
who are pushing this narrative are acutely aware of this.
But the media no longer cares how they appear, their goal is
to keep flinging filth hoping that some of it will stick. However, with Trump,
they overplayed their hand to such an extent that they exposed their real
motives.
This is why Americans' trust in the media to report the news
fully, accurately, and fairly has is at a dismal
36% according to Gallup's trend from late last year.
Considering their abominable record that number is considerably high.
The fact remains that President Trump's record with
endorsements was very strong. Trump secured 104+ victories, 6 losses (some of
which were impossible to win), and 2 runoffs.
For someone who has been out of political office for almost
one and a half years, this is an astounding accomplishment. In some cases the
races were close and in other cases, the candidate seemed to be losing but
Trump's endorsements made the difference. No other leader in any party has such
sway over the public.
On the Democrat side, there is nobody, not even Barack Obama
or Bill Clinton who comes even remotely close to having such a stronghold on
his voter base.
Trump’s strong showing proves once again that he continues to
be a force to reckon with on the US political scene
