Biden’s Cheap Words Have Implications

No one should be surprised Joe Biden called for unity, with 17 highly offensive, partisan, economically damaging executive orders on his desk. No one is surprised Biden bashed Trump for COVID, then admitted no plan.  No one should be surprised Biden is crippling American energy independence, outlawing pipelines, drilling, and fracking after promising jobs.  Words are cheap, especially Biden’s.

No one should be surprised Biden pledged to “fire on the spot” White House staff who disrespected others – yet keeps a foul-mouthed staffer who berated a female reporter with profanity, threatened to “destroy” her, if she reported on a conflict of interest.  If that story is a “one day wonder,” the bigger story is this:  Biden seems to mean nothing he says.

The issue of duplicitous politicians is not new, but extreme forms invite scrutiny – and danger.  In short, as wide as the margins are these days for tolerating hypocrisy, Biden pushes the limits.  This has real implications, and they go beyond the obvious.

Americans have just been lectured by congressional Democrats to ignore the Constitution’s text, caselaw and history, put aside the iconic pledge of due process and tolerate a legal standard that aims to impeach a president on a free speech standard that would convict half of Congress for “incitement,” and criminalizes citizen free speech.

The spectacle of chasing a former president, was objectively embarrassing.  It struck the world as a classic political “show trial,” the sort of “gotcha” politics Americans were supposed to be above, the sort we tell others not to conduct, yet conducted in violation of our Constitution.

During that travesty, now settling, Biden said nothing.  Graduating at the bottom of his law class, not practicing for 50 years, he may not remember free speech.  But it remains real in law and – to most Americans – in practice, as does the public expectation that words matter.

Moving beyond free speech, here is the issue. If a president repeatedly says he will do something, means something, stands for something, pledges to act in a certain way – and does not do so, and in fact does the opposite from expedience or duplicity, two things happen.

First, the American people begin to see that he is a paper tiger, a man without convictions, someone who – whether you like or hate his promises – does not deliver with fidelity, predictability, or integrity.  Many who did not like Trump, saw his resolve to deliver, a commitment to make real what he promised – border wall and military spending to reduced regulation and taxes, record economic growth, wages, and employment to calling out China.

Here is the second implication – and it matters.  Anyone who promises and does not deliver, despite being able to, to his own people is a pushover.  He is a paper tiger, weak player on the world stage.  Joining things, issuing memos, hyping long term goals is well and good.  But a president who will not honor pledges he makes to his own people, who will not even fire a White House staffer who makes a fool of him, is a weak link.

Do not think, for one moment, that China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Turkey, Cuba, Venezuela, half the Middle East and all of Europe, with dozens of other countries are not looking with clear eyes, eagerly rethinking options, recognizing that tough talk and aviator glasses are cheap, snowflakes on a desert, gone in heat.  Biden’s behavior suggests malign opportunity.

Our adversaries are assessing Biden, and what they see – unless he reverses the impression fast – is weakness, profound and consistent, bumbling and bleached out, stumbling and stuck in a time warp where words are enough to stop hungry, powerful, anti-Western, insatiable adversaries.

Bottom line is this:  So far, the Biden team looks like a gaggle of young geese, a field of bump-and-go goslings, sure they know which way to go, paying no attention to each other, little to the president, preening before cameras.  And Biden is letting them do so, as if all this were a game.

It is not.  International opportunists, like eager predators – state and non-state adversaries – are measuring the Biden team’s depth and resolve, seriousness, organization, gamesmanship, experience, qualifications, courage, willingness to take hard decisions, capacity to unify – and finding them objectively wanting.  Few could reach any other conclusion.

Odds grow each day that Biden will be sorely tested by foreign adversaries, likely on multiple fronts at once with direct or surrogate actions, maybe both, and maybe coordinated. As Biden’s politically correct, internally preoccupied, blame -America team churns cheap words, obsessed with militarizing Washington (wholly unnecessary), vetting the American military for “extremists” (ditto), defunding law enforcement (tragic), those with a bead on us watch – and plan. Things need to change fast, signals get sent – or things may change not at our behest.  In short, words are cheap.  Our adversaries know it. We need to make them count and keep ours.

Excellent article Mr. Charles. For the Dems to use Biden is a disgrace. Too many Dems are not Dems but evil persons who have sold their souls. They work only for themselves and their own interests and think they are above the law and everything else. As long as nothing is done to stop them, they will not stop their evil ways leading to destruction.

All those people in DC are not there for the people of this country or for that matter they are not even there for the country. They are under the power of evil. All we can hope for is this in in our Lord’s plan and he will take care of his followers.

Biden’s idea of “unity” is eradicating anyone that does not agree with the ultra liberal platform of control of America and it’s people. The democratic platform is a disgrace to freedom loving people. Those who continually vote for these people must have a mental illness or just cannot become independent from the many government freebies that this party offers. It’s not the corrupt politicians folks as much as the weak minded people that continue to place these people in office.

AMAC should be stressing the importance of letting your Governor, Election officials and Senators and Representatives know of your dissatisfactions of Biden’s Executive Orders and the lack of response from the Supreme Court to hear the election fraud cases. Our voices need to be heard. Don’t stand back and complain just take action. The squeaky wheel gets heard.

Everyone send an email to your Governor, state senators and representative to tell them the President’s actions on climate is hurting working people- ex. XL Pipeline, his permitting transgender males to compete against girls and women. His firing of Attorney Generals who are investigating or prosecuting the members of the Democract party; the president’s lack of talking to foreign state leaders with the exception of china and his Executive orders that should be going through Congress to review and vote on. Above all to stop the hatred of the former President, Donald Trump passing a bill in attempt to take away all the perks that he would be allowed to after he left office. The Democracts are acting childish.

You must not have been paying much attention when Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were Presidents. If their lips were moving, they were lying. Barack Obama was especially skilled at having you watch what he was doing with his right hand when he was really doing something else against the country with his left. He bragged about having perfected that skill in one of his first two books.

Biden and Harris,
Does more than scare us.

What America used to hold dear,
Is now politically correct queer.

Oh, LORD God, may we return to You,
Pilgrims and Founders, what they thought of You!

It was no mere chance or coincidence,
Your guiding hand and good providence.

Through all their speeches and their prayer,
It was evidenced everywhere.

The Pilgrims were faced with a major drought,
Mighty God, still answers prayer, they found out!

Reaching back through the echoes of time,
The Red Sea and Armada, You remind!

Divine miracles through Israel’s history,
Yet, God’s love and justice remain a mystery?

How can a nation on the Bible found,
So quickly be leveled to the ground?

Even at this moment that I speak,
Childhood memories on the mountain peak!

The Ten Commandments in the Public Schools,
The Bible was read to “all of the pupils”!

We were blessed as one thing was understood,
Knowing God through His Word, the desired good!

A century after the Constitution,
The Public Schools had the solution.

Pennsylvania, a key state back then,
Read the Bible, first thing – was written in pen,

If a teacher was found to be remiss,
That teacher they would promptly dismiss!

Incredibly now evolution is taught,
Biblical principles we have forgot!

Without a return and sincere repentance,
America is due God’s death sentence!

I am a Christian, only in that regard,
Proclaiming what will happen is not that hard!

From a Scripture founding to pagan today,
The just Judge of the universe will weigh!

Mr. Charles, I found Amac after getting a email from a friend who shared your story about the Cardinal bird. I liked most of what you said. Then I saw your bio about being a Bush era Republican. I voted for Reagan, Bush 41 and twice for Bush 43. So I clicked on your name and found Amac. But the first article that I read was more of the Trump garbage propaganda and I was ashamed for you. I am looking for real Republicans that believe in the Constitution. I mean believe and support it, not the way Trump would hug the flag and say that the election was stolen and only he can save our country. This is such an obvious ploy that I am continually disappointed that intelligent people no matter their party affiliation can support someone who has stated in public that he wants to be President for Life. He also probably wants his children to inherit the Presidency after him. I call this a dictatorship. You and others like you who care more about Power than the Constitution think it is great. We are not going to be a socialist society. That is anti-democratic. We are for the people and by the people – not one person who wants to be a demi-god.

The meat puppet poster boy demonstrated on Day One that he was capable of only one thing, signing everything placed before him. This Lt. Colonel Blake clone’s call for “Unity” to me is a more desperate cry of “Please don’t do this to me”, the “this” being the way the true President was treated for the four glorious years he was in office. His accomplishments are amazing when you consider that the things he signed bolstered America, Americans and our welfare and that he did it while fighting off the Dimocrats with the other hand. Remarkable what a non-politician businessman could do when running the country as a business and not, as is the present occupant of the Oval Office, into the ground.

As conservatives and patriots it was clear to us what Biden would allow under his watch (not sure if he actually watches). Our collective focus must now be on re-taking the House in 2022 or I fear the damage may become irreparable.

It is, factually, inconceivable, given the policy successes of the Trump administration, that Americans considered those successes, even under the conditions imposed by measures implemented to fight the pandemic, and determined that a change to Democrat governance would be better for the country.
It is far more credible that the conditions imposed were exploited to change the rules for the last election and that democrat planning and control of the processes during the entire election period facilitated the victory they were able to claim. How could any thinking, eligible voter have considered the economic success and prosperity of the past 4 years and decided that s/he did not want those successes? It defies common sense. What we do know is that left-wing liberalism defies common sense, due process of law, the established rule of law and is based on the supremacy and wantonness of choice, sometimes by force of majority rule, sometimes by authoritarian, executive order, regardless of the prescriptions of the Constitution to the contrary. So what we have is a government whose very legitimacy is in serious question, whose willingness to adhere to the constitution and established law is contrary and the likelihood of success of which is exemplified in the
natural disasters, the consequences of which their long-term policies are the cause and no match to meet the needs of people. Either indifference, ignorance or despair of the American people has given us this administration. Whatever the reason, it does not bode well for the country and it bespeaks the
horrendous weaknesses of the Democrat Party.

Beijing Biden is, and always has been, a political hack. If he was the democrat’s best choice, God help this country. His VP pick is even worse. Many patriotic Americans are truly alarmed that such haters as biden, harris, and obama have manipulated the system to gain the upper hand. These families are untrustworthy and corrupt to the core.

When I think of the SECOND impeachment trial of Trump, I wonder if the double jeopardy protection of the Constitution doesn’t apply to Presidents, Republicans, Conservatives, etc.??? And if so, how was it that it turned out the the Supreme Court never got a chance to rule on this???

Yes. He was basically absent for the pre- election process, he won by cheating and now the puppet masters are calling the shots.
He took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, which was pro forma and just something he had to do to obtain power.
So be smart…support conservative members of Congress and the Senate; support conservative candidates for Congress and the the Senate in 2022 and do not give in to the socialist mind speak.
The whole world is watching. If the USA falls, the planet falls.

Let’s face it, the only reason Biden is in office is so the She Devil will become president. She couldn’t get there on her own so she’ll slid in when Joe steps down. She’s a snake and doesn’t care about our country. It really scares me where we are headed.

The crook in the WH. If he ‘expires’ then so what ? Look what will take his place. If SHE expires ? What takes HER place ? And what if “SHE” expires ? Of course Nan looks 3/4 dead already. The bottom line ? The GOP will NEVER regain the WH short of a military coup or flat out insurrection.

Why criticize dementia Joe? The puppet masters who operate Joe Biden’s strings are the real
culprits. These manipulators of empty suit Joe, are well known. They were appointed by the “duly elected candidate”, who was directed to do so by the Democrat hierarchy. “Mr. President, you need to sign this, and you need to say this.” And the reply of the Chief Executive of the land? “Um, OK, where do I sign?” “Oh, OK, if I read the teleprompter word for word, will that be enough?” “By the way, where is the rest room, again, ……….and who is that woman over there?” The assistant who is charged with escorting the befuddled President to the restroom wearily says, “That is your wife Mr. President, now follow me down the hallway to the restroom.” “Restroom? Why would I want to go to the restroom?” “Not again!!! OK, follow me into the anteroom where I will wipe your derriere, and lay out a clean pair of pants.”

Humorous dig at Joe Biden? No humor intended, it would be cruel to belittle a person who is suffering from the awful effects of dementia. My little scenario was intended to mirror what must be the actual behavior of hapless Joe Biden, the “leader of the free world”.

The sad thing about the last election was that, discounting the millions of fabricated votes, there were the votes of all who are taxsuckers, illegal aliens and dead people. You would think that the dead people, at least, would feel a sense of shame.
