It’s easy to feel like we’re living in the twilight zone these days. Just look at the Biden Administration’s priorities. It is gleefully promoting woke over work, aliens over Americans, and entitlement over empowerment and entrepreneurship.
It makes little sense to so many. So why is Biden and his team doing this? On its face it appears payback and thanks to the radicals and the far left for supporting him this past November. It’s not outside the norms for a party to try to placate its supporters on the fringes. After all, Ronald Reagan gave the occasional speech on prayer in public schools, posting the Ten Commandments in buildings, and banning abortion, to name just three. The difference is Reagan, while recognizing those were important issues to his base, didn’t make those social issues cornerstones of his national policy strategy. His team remained laser focused on the priorities of cutting taxes across the board, reducing the size and scope of government, and rebuilding the military.
But what if first, Biden and his team actually believe destroying jobs and throwing thousands out of work from canceling the Keystone Pipeline is a good idea? Unionized blue-collar workers seemingly matter not to party elites. Second, what about opening the border to 25,000 or more migrants to cross during a global pandemic as sound policy? Some progressives even want to go further and demolish the entire southern border. Third, there’s the relentless drumbeat to pay people not to work by continuously promoting increased unemployment benefits, including a strange new variant that would allow anyone to refrain from work and still get paid simply by saying they have a fear of Covid.
Each of these Biden priorities could prove very unsafe, risky, and a bet against a robust future. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) summed up these peculiarities succinctly by noting, “If you’re going to claim you’re the party of the working class, you actually have to support working.”
Only liberals would continue advocating to keep an economy closed and locked down while simultaneously trying to get throngs of new people hooked on government benefits, almost akin to a drug. Their hope is voters will regularly ask for such benefits and appreciate and reward a party that gave them the goodies. After all, an economy that were to grow strongly again (think pre-pandemic) with the entire country working and providing for themselves leaves little room and need for Democrats and their “I’m here to give you something from the government” mindset.
Hard work and the entrepreneurial spirit of starting and running businesses have been hallmarks of this country for so long. The new Biden priorities run completely counter to over 200 years of economic history. It appears Biden and company are hellbent on pushing as many divisive and misguided policies forward as they can, perhaps fearing they’ll never get an opportunity like this again.
Democrats know the clock is ticking on their extremely narrow House majority and 50-50 split in the Senate. November 2022 cannot come soon enough for moderates and conservatives and indeed anyone who might have bought into the “unity” that Biden was selling in the campaign. For those with a case of buyer’s remorse, you need just wait a little over 20 months for a second bite of the apple on a new set priorities for America.
Jeff Szymanski works in political communications for AMAC, a senior benefits organization with nearly 2.4 million members.
One can sum up the entire Demshevik Party by noting their implied motto: We will snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory!
The Demsheviks truly are Charter Members of the “180º Club” (i.e., whatever position they espouse or embrace, the exact opposite is usually true).
If Keystone Pipeline is top priority during first week, then where is USA headed for employment and energy needs. Biden admin. say they will replace all pipeline jobs with other but did not say when and how. Look at unemployment numbers & Biden Admin is not with the solution, but added to problem today. Very disappointing move with Executive Order by POTUS>
Do not agree with statement in this story regarding people that do not want to go back to work cuz afraid of Covid. Currently, you can agree with teachers or not about getting vaccinated. Have not seen anything in months, but what happened to meat packing plants that Trump forced back to work as essential work under some Protection act. Did this work out for employers & employees ? or was it only move to stop a shortage at grocery stores
The theme song for the Biden Administration should be “Ain’t That Peculiar “ by Marvin Gaye.????
Biden isn’t putting America first like DJT did- he’s putting his Chinese buddies first because they’ve got him in their pocket along with choice family members who’ve been riding Joe’s coat tails for years. He’s such a sucker. Joe is just doing what his left wing buddies want him to do. If he was analyzed by a psychiatrist I’d bet my left big toe he’d have a degree of dementia. Why is it Jill has to help him off stage? Why does he carry a card in his pocket with details he might be asked in a press conference?
Why does he always say “come on man”? And it’s obvious that America doesn’t come first but his wallet does with contributions from China. What’s he going to do with all his money from China once they take over here-he won’t have any where to spend it. And what kind of car did Hunter buy with his $140K he got from who knows where.
Biden and his VP. Need to be impeached. He is crazy ruining our country,the VP for paying to get rioters out of jail.
Peculiar? Really? I say demonic.
Biden is throwback to Obama era & prior for Estd DC policies day 1
Aside virus, all would be Throw back to Old DC Estd system
We lose Unless we reform Elections.
Dems stuck in the Past IE gas prices to relive OPEC 1973?
“Funny” how we all know his “particularities” are really an organized effort to destroy the America we know & love, yet no one knows how to, or if we even can stop the slide into total destruction & misery this evil Admin has planned for US. These crisis’s can only end one of two ways- either one is ugly.
Unity??? The only unity, Ole Joe and his communist crew is interested in is having us all on the government payroll. There’s going to come a point when the majority of Americans, simply say, “we’ve had enough and we won’t take any more”, and then hell will decend on America, and it will be anything but pretty. We’re getting closer daily.
This is all true, but I’m alarmed by presumptions that there are going to be any more valid elections in America
Well written article that expresses precisely what many think. I question Biden’s mental stability. And the Dems in leadership are capitalizing on his deteriorating mental capabilities for their own personal gain. Shameful.
Biden and the Democrats don’t care about US workers. They care about their fat-cat donors and the fringe groups that make up their political coalition and from which they derive power. They want the maximum number of people out of jobs and dependent on the government, where they can buy their votes. They want them demanding “special rights” so they can pander to them.
We need to look far back into Sleepy Joes life and career to find his madness. This is not something of recent mindset. Let’s not forget the life/styles of the rest of the liberals either! There seems to be much more here than we can fathom!
Stalin abused his people but he threw them crumbs every so often. They followed the crumbs no matter what. The current socialist elite are creating a need by causing pain and then tossing the crumbs to increase their # of followers. EVERYTHING IS FREE AS LONG AS SOMEONE ELSE PAYS FOR IT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A BREAKING POINT COMING AND IT WON’T BE A PRETTY OUTCOME.
The mindless follow the mindless.
Biden has lost the BB brain he has rolling around in his head. We cannot get rid of this dumbass and all Socialists soon enough.
Good article.
IDIOT, IDEA’S COME FROM IDIOTS , PROBLEM EXPLAINED !!!!!!
PRAY FOR GOD TO SAVE AMERICA !!!!
We’re living in an UpComing Communist, Socialist, Totalitarian World !
Democrats….be careful what you wish for !
I completely agree!
I have no confidence in anyone who voted for Biden, suddenly coming to the realization that they made a mistake. They knowingly voted for the fringe far radical alt-left and that’s what they got. KAG
From all indications, we won’t have to worry about the 46th preezy and his “administration” that has a sandy foundation of fraud and deceit-just what you would expect from the last congress of USA Inc. Hang on peeps, it’s coming to an end SOON…
That’s because it’s not Biden, it’s puppet Biden with Obama’s hand up his ass in what is the Obama part II phase. You know the one that was supposed to begin until Trumpus Interruptus intervened. Why do you think that the left went so visceral against Trump. HRC was not supposed to lose! The Democrats then had to cheat harder this time around and using a demented puppet to do so. This is a Marxist takedown agenda, period.
I am really trying to understand this stuff that Biden is doing but I can’t make any sense out of it.
His whole focus is to unravel Trump’s gutsy decisions. Once we get a President we can trust all he is doing will be “re-reversed”. We just have to gather our strength and oppose all the nonsense he is generating.
It’s all very scary! The next step is for Kamala to take over, and that should be soon. Joe is obviously struggling mentally.
Our Constitution begins with “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty…”
Please, where does a SCOTUS and DOJ that refuse to look at a multitude of allegations of voter fraud and evidence thereof, a party that supports, and sponsors rioting and looting as in ANTIFA, BLM and “Defund the Police”, “purging” our military of conservatives and issuing stand down orders in light of foreign terrorists and a Chinese threat, opening our borders to foreign invasion, ruining our small businesses, hotel, restaurant, and tourism industry with COVID19 restrictions, killing millions of jobs with cancelling the XL pipeline and fracking, as well as hurting Americans with green energy that doesn’t work in a deep freeze snow storm, and censoring free speech, threatening to silence and persecute opposition, and to take away the 2nd amendment, and right of worship, fit in with all of this?
If this government violates the “Supreme Law of the Land” so blatantly, are we still supposed to be a land of laws? In all my life I have never seen a more anti-American, anti-constitution “American” government then now. Were they sworn in on the same Constitution we know?
Old plugs did NOT come up with these policy decisions on his own, he has trouble putting on his shoes alone! The communist left is making policies to destroy this country and our way of life!
Exactly! President Trump pushed their destroying agenda back four years, now it’s makeup time for the radical communist left!
What can we all do? Is there an organization that has any power that we can go to? Everything was so much on the right track until this… I write to representatives, congressmen, senators, the White House and so on, just about every day…How can we help get out of this mess? Four years will not only seem like an eternity under a dictator proped up by special interests and China. China has infiltrated our businesses and our government. We are in big trouble and need to fight back!
Great article! Agree with everything! Democrats just want everyone dependent on them so they can always stay in power. And the left are the ones stealing all the resources of this country for them and their cronies! Their policies help no one but themselves while destroying everyone else’s lives!
Biden the USEFUL IDIOT moves on and on and on to destroy the America we all know and love.
The democrats must be VOTED out of office to save America. PERIOD!
“Biden’s Peculiar Priorities” – not so peculiar when you stop to consider that their one and only true goal is to DESTROY the country!
Most of what Joe says he doesn’t say, but China has the strings to make his mouth move and he simply does not have the mental stability at this time in his long life to think on his own. It is a world of “sad” he was placed in this position I’m sure in his youth would have been a far better idea, but people have a tendency to remain true to “party” without reasoning the consequence. To defend a bad decision is worse that making the initial wrong in the first place. This is a sellout that must be corrected ASAP before China takes over completely.
Joe Hiden Biden is deciden how he is going to widen the siden with the Chinans! Less than 2 months in to his term of office and his disaster is becoming alarming.
We all know Biden’s day in the WH are numbered. They will destroy America as much as humanly possible before Harris takes office. Folks, America is in deep trouble, it is going to take a miracle to stop this onslaught.
Pinocchio is merely doing the bidding of b.o., soros and the rest of the looney lefty puppet masters. Has this idiot ever had an original thought? Well…he’s a known plagiarist. Nuff said.
Not even Rod Serling could write an episode of the Twilight Zone to match the insanity beefing dealt to us in the USA!
First Biden is not our elected President. We need to keep fighting to get the SCOTUS to hear fraud arguments and get the rightful President Donald J. Trump back in the Whitehouse. Otherwise this nonsense will continue.
It appears very unlikely that we will be able to legalize the 2020 election result and the left will create destruction and havoc before the 2022 election. CA Democrats are insane and need to be replaced. They are going after or freedom of speech and now are attacking Presidential control of our nuclear reaction system. It is sad when it appears that the only alternative to all of this would be the complete loss of sanity, thought processes or even lives of these destructive elements.
I don’t think you are getting it.
He is a puppet whose strings are being pulled by the factions bent in destroying the republic. Obama, with his trailing under Saul Alinski and company that put him in the forefront of the Democratic Party in the convention of 2007(?)
are still controlling the show. Wake up, America. This old man has never had an original thought in years. He is the mouthpiece of the destructionists.
I am not a person that would use a term like “heart broken”, but what I see happening to our country, without doubt, the greatest, most free and the most desired country in the world, to live in,(just look at how many people want to come here) being ravished and destroyed in the name of “equity” (what ever that means) causing racism and a division that was on a path of unity, before Obama, . Economically, this HR1 bill will increase our nations debt through the spending of dollars we do not have, that no tax increase cold ever offset, by just borrowing and printing money that will eventually cause the value of the dollar to tank resulting in catastrophic inflation similar to what happened in Venezuela, then what happens to health care? social security? and the give a ways that are in this bill that have nothing to do with Covid relief?. Again I say that I am truly heart broken when I think of all the blood and treasure that so many patriots gave to preserve our freedom, just to see it be for naught. .I do not have to elaborate to all the patriots of AMAC, what all these self serving, power grabbing democratic socialist are doing, I just have a hard time understanding, why!? May GOD help us!
If the root causes of this past election’s rigged election are not repaired, I won’t bother voting anymore.
My prayer is God intervenes supernaturally BEFORE 2022! I don’t think we’ll survive until 2022!
It is interesting to watch the agenda of the new Democratic party unfold. They seemed to have changed from the “working Man’s party” to the New Wave Entitlement and Radical” party. Joe Biden has been issuing executive orders like a pay clerk issues pay checks. History shows that dictators and tyrants rule be these kinds of orders. I believe that all Americans are now aware of this new agenda and must make the choice from now on at the polls of the type of country America will be in the future. Living in Colorado, I have watched our state change from a conservative population to a very liberal one in the large metropolitan areas that have moved Colorado to the California type left. I wonder what actions it will take to stop this kind of agenda migration to other conservative areas of the country? We all need to do some soul searching to see where we draw the line. God help us.
Communism is their ultimate goal and they must destroy America fast to install it and turn control over to China and Russia.
We must prove election fraud immediately. It must be our first priority and then remove the Biden Administration and the swamp NOW!
Peculiar priorities? NO, this is what happens when the “fearless leader” is a few
french fries short of a happy meal !!! or he is happy because he has no idea of
what is happening around him.
Stupidity begets stupidity.
