Joe Biden’s Left-Wing Start

left wingJoe Biden is off to the most left-wing start of any Democratic president in recent memory.

The dulcet tones of Biden’s inaugural address already seem an artifact of a bygone era. Republicans will hammer him for the rest of his presidency for failing to deliver on his unifying message, but the fact is that Biden is governing as he promised — further to the left of his own record, further to the left of Barack Obama, and further to the left of any Democrat who made his career prior to the ascendency of the cultural left.

It’s not new for Democrat presidents to want to tax, spend, and regulate, even if Biden seeks to do more of all three than his immediate predecessors did. Biden layers on top of this a cultural agenda that represents a new dimension of radicalism that would be alien and baffling to past Democrats, who may have wanted to extend the New Deal but never sought to transcend the gender binary.

Biden has proved willing, too, to go it alone via rapid-fire, unilateral executive actions.

If Lyndon Johnson gave us the Great Society, he came to office seeking to fulfill the legacy of his martyred predecessor, which included passing a tax cut. Once elected in his own right in 1964, Johnson embarked on a spate of federal activism that no subsequent Democrat has matched, although Johnson largely enacted his priorities the old-fashioned way, by passing bills through Congress, and operated in a much more culturally conservative country and party.

Jimmy Carter, who ran as a Southern moderate and stumbled out of the gate, doesn’t really rate.

Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were both ambitious, but they also cared about the budget deficit and allowed it to restrain their agenda in a way that the Biden Democrats now totally reject.

If Clinton pushed the envelope on health care (ultimately getting nowhere), the signature economic initiative of his early administration was a deficit-reduction measure. Obama passed a blowout spending stimulus bill in his first months, although the imperative not to allow it to exceed about $800 billion seems quaint in retrospect.

Biden is out of the box with a proposed $1.9 trillion relief bill that includes a $15-an-hour minimum wage that not too long ago was the pipe dream of his party’s socialist wing, as well as a massive bailout of states and localities. Biden campaigned on a $4 trillion tax increase that one sympathetic observer has said would be “one of the largest wealth transfers in American history.” Meanwhile, he’s filling positions beneath the cabinet level with progressives with a mandate to increase regulation across the board.

All of this is augmented by new progressive causes that were just beginning to get a foothold back in the Clinton and Obama years.

Don’t worry – you ain’t seen nothing yet. The worst is yet to come. And be forewarned: it will be MUCH worse.

All these executive orders are unlawful as an executive order can only be issued in a national emergency when congress is not in session. He is acting like a communist dictator and needs to be stopped by congress.

I hate to say it but, I don’t think we have seen anything yet, as long as left wing News Media, the Radicals in Congress and the moron RINO’S Like Rummy Romney and sold out Sass and others won’t push back there is no end to what they will do. We have no Court system, no press, no ACLU, to stop them. You had better start learning how to speak Chinees or Russian, the America I grow up in is gone.
I weep for America !

The ultimate goal of the left is to make America a socialist/communist country with themselves as the rulers. Elitist billionaires are funding a great deal of the unrest that is plaguing the country believing that they can’t be held accountable. This time more than ever in the past is time for the people to return to the foundational beliefs that gave us the greatest country in modern history and if that means a revolt against an overbearing, out of control government then we have precedence for and a moral obligation to do just that.

How do you like your new sheriff? I guess this is what people,in various ways,voted for. Pay attention to the carelessness with truth. Pay attention to the false front appointees in the cabinet. They seem kindly enough but beware of the bureaucrats/young progressives on their staffs and in positions to make a difference. This will get really ugly shortly. Oh I forgot. Regulate to strangulate. Elite Power Exerted with a hammer.

“Joe Biden is off to the most left-wing start of any Democratic president in recent memory.” Seriously?! I have no desire to tell this writer how and/or what to write, but I would’ve started with, “Joe Biden is off to the most radical, unilateral, totalitarian left-wing start of any president…IN U.S. HISTORY! Just sayin’. His ludicrous amount of EOs in the first week indicates that, clearly. You know…the guy that hammered DJT for his use of EOs. Another leftist uber-hypocrite and habitual liar.

We were told that this would happen. I reject the title liberal as this is strict communism. A media totally controlled by communist dogma- hate anyone who objects, destroy religion, install total domination over the population, rewrite history, etc., etc. Remember where the virus came from!

We must take action now to put more people in government that believe in America first NOT party. There are great Democrats, Republicans, Independents who are Americans first. That covers the majority of the American people. The battle is in the primaries, find good people and get them into the primary and support them. For too long we have allowed the party to run the primary and put their bought and paid people in in the general election where we have the choice of bad and not so bad. Trump proved that we can do it. Let the local party leaders know that the old way is not what we want. This will take each of us to do some talking to the local party leaders. It starts now.

What’s happening in this country is mind blowing to all of us that actually have minds. And this gender crap is way beyond sensible. Personally, I can’t wait for someone to come up to me and inform me that ”I can’t say anymore” because it’s politically incorrect. I’m an old guy, but I’m pretty certain that I have at least two or three good punches left in me.

Mr. Biden has waited 47 years for this event. As they say, third time is a charm. However, I do not think this is a charm for the folks that do not work or play in Washington, D.C.. He scares me that he has appointed so many deep state folks, that will only do as he states. I do not know what we out here in the rest of the U.S.A. can do about this. I hope someone has some answers for the rest of us.

Let’s be honest, it isn’t Biden making these decisions. It’s his puppet master. I pray our country can withstand this nonsense and get back to where we should be after the next election. That is, if we can have a cheat free election!

Thanks for all of your help in this battle, Rich. The National Review supposedly stood for things that President Trump would have delivered, but this wasn’t the Bill Buckley National Review. The Rich Lowry National Review was AWOL and at times opposed for the most part, and we shouldn’t forget that when looking for publications and people we can trust in the media.

The destruction of our county is appalling and beyond what all we Americans could ever imagine. Germany was a democracy before, through electoral processes, it was destroyed by an elected, to become a dictatorship. The next big step, and I am not a naysayer or doomsayer, will be government mandate that conservatives wear a badge (liken: Jewish badges).

Article says Obama concerned with deficit, then how did the debt increase $8-9 Trillion during Obama 8-year term. As near as I can tell, the deficit has increased +$1 trillion per year for the last 12 years & where will this lead to in the future??

They need illegal aliens to replace all the black voters that voted for TRUMP, What I do not understand is WHY THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE ESCAPING A CRUEL SOCIALIST DICTATORSHIP WILL WANT TO HELP THE SOCIALIST/DEMS CREATE THE SAME FORM OF GOVERNMENT HERE?

Democrats want to increase our deficit until we can no longer afford to be an independent country. How lonh until Communist China, who is funding us, states they will no longer loan us monies unless we do this or that, or give them a portion of US lands etc. The American people have stated many times for Congress to reduce our deficit and none of the pols ever do so.

I will count on both Democrat & Republican legislators to start reining in Biden by using the powers vested in Congress. EOs are not valid way to run this country & Trump is gone so Republicans must stand up for the American people that elected them & not fear from Trump actions.

Biden must be reined in – if he continues, we will see another depression in this country. Now he is threatening the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court that if does not halt the conservative opinions coming out of the court that he will add more and more judges. Who died and made him God. A president, democratic or republican, has no right to blackmail the courts, which is what he is doing, When is he going to stop with the Executive Orders and take requests to congress? Of course, he is only President in name – actually Obama is in his 3rd term.

Yet another article about how Biden must be reined in and held accountable by Republicans in Congress. I guess we’re going to be treated to a fresh article like this each and every day for the next four years. Elections have consequences. Even the ones that are “won” (stolen) through fraud an manipulation of ballots to achieve the desired outcome.

Yes, we all know that Biden is enacting policy changes and much more that will damage this country for a very long time, but the Republicans in Congress, with McConnell and McCarthy in charge, are not going to do much of anything. They are NOT fighters. They never have been. So to expect that either one will rally the Republicans in Congress to fight on a daily basis is a non-starter. Both have essentially signaled as much by their actions to date. So prepare for a very bumpy and painful ride on the Socialism Express.

All the chaos and evil in this world can be blamed on mankind himself. When mankind rejected the Lord GOD as his God, King, Master and Creator, The Lord GOD let mankind have what he desired -self rule. We, each and every one of us, believes he/she knows what is best for him/herself. Lol! That’s the biggest and most deceiving lie of all! There is only one GOD! That is Truth and that Truth has been proven and “fact-checked” by Christ Jesus when He came down here the first time. Only Jesus can save us from ourselves, redeem us, and deliver us to The Father. This is promised to us by GOD, who is the only righteous and eternal promise creator and fulfiller of ALL!
Abba, I pray and beg that You soften our hearts, strengthen our minds and open our eyes to see and know that You are God! I pray this in Your Name, Jesus! Thank You for creating me for this moment in time to declare Your glory and LOVE! Hallelujah! Maranatha! Amen.

Horrible un-American damage being caused by a true usurper and very dangerous corrupt team in the DC.
Our nation is in serious danger of going under from the debt of 50 years of stupidity. The dems, actually that’s not what they are, and several socialist Marxist communist governments are talking about a great reset!!!!

America, has been done,
Since what the sixties had begun.
Atheistic worldview did begin,
Relative truth and no longer sin.
The Bible taken out of the schools,
So-called science and evolution rules.
Four generations of young have been taught,
Unrestrained freedom and the money you’ve got!
American history does now scream,
Riches are not the American dream!
Even if young and then had to rent,
Faith, family and contentment.
Godless America, with it’s humanist worldview,
History erased and rewritten anew!
Communist atheism infiltrated,
The Pilgrims and Founders are now hated!
Unless we “repent”and quickly learn
life, liberty on paper will quickly burn!
Unless the young have the Bible in the schools,
We’ll continue to be judged by the God who rules!
We must read and learn about history past,
Or this pagan America, will not last!

I don’t think it’s not that we don’t get it. You would have to be dumb, blind and deaf not to know what’s going on. We are just like the Germans when Hitler took over. He did exactly what’s going on in America. Germans followed him like sheep to the slaughter and then the Jews were slaughtered. We need a leader. Not a politician. Someone who is rich, well respected and cannot be hindered by the Socialist threats. We need to bombard our representives via email and phone calls to let them know where we stand. If millions of people did this they would take notice but to do that we need a leader.

I still can’t wrap my head around how we have come to this terrible time? We all know there were tons of evidence confirming voter fraud and illegal ballets, we all know President Trump won in a landslide. So please tell me why has nothing been done to correct this? China joe is killing our Republic and doing it quickly. We the people are suppressed, censored, locked down, and masked up! I am very pissed at the Republicans in office for sticking their tails between their legs and letting the dems have at destroying our country. We had a great President for the people and his own party would not stand with him or us. I for one will not vote for any of these rinos again nor will I support them. Of course won’t make a difference with the rigged elections. Plus I and my family will never support company’s who have shut out goods from people who had the courage and conviction to support President Trump politics and business need to be a separate thing. People please wake up before it is too late and we are farther down the rabbit hole to every see the light again!

Without a doubt the most effective weapon the Nazi’s and communists have developed is character assassination. You don’t need proof or evidence all that is required is to control the source of the information, (ie the media” and you can plant doubt and misinformation and count on a certain amount of the simple minded to accept without question the deception. The democrats are the “pied piper” that are leading the lemmings to the cliff.

At what point did the Trump administration say, “We don’t have an answer we’ll circle back”??? Not once ever !!! Not only does the Harris/Biden administration not have a plan, they are dependent on the corrupt media to provide a smokescreen for their incompetence. The future of America depends on standing up and fighting back.
