For more than 50 years, Democrats have been touting the notion that there are two Americas.  The haves and the have nots, the rich and the poor; divided by race and ethnicity.  There once was something to this argument.  “Two Americas” dates from a 1967 speech by Martin Luther King.  “There are literally two Americas.  One America is beautiful … and overflowing with the milk of prosperity and the honey of opportunity.  This America is the habitat of millions of people who have food and material necessities for their bodies; and culture and education for their minds; and freedom and human dignity for their spirits …  But tragically and unfortunately, there is another America. This other America has a daily ugliness about it that constantly transforms the ebulliency of hope into the fatigue of despair.  In this America millions of work-starved men walk the streets daily in search for jobs that do not exist. In this America millions of people find themselves living in rat-infested, vermin-filled slums.  In this America people are poor by the millions.  They find themselves perishing on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.”  When Dr. King spoke those words, he had a point, but a succession of government programs, coupled with unprecedented economic growth largely changed that landscape.  Dr. King died while trying to secure basic civil rights and simple human dignity in the face of blatant racism, which thankfully, no longer exists.  But rather than celebrate the advancements of 50 years of social progress, Democrats are still preaching the gospel of Two Americas.  Without an underclass to pretend to help, the Democrat Party has no message.  And no amount of social progress, no improvement in race relations, and no appeals to reality will be accepted.  I can prove it.  The MLK quote cited above was not from an historical record of the 1960’s, it was from a 2020 article in The Nation, in which the author, in the lead up to the 2020 election, argued that “inequality in this country has been on the rise to previously unimaginable levels, while poverty has remained locked in and largely ignored.”  Keep in mind that this statement was made at a time when minority employment, and minority advancement was at its highest point in history.  Clearly, Democrats have nothing else to offer, and that’s become a problem.  As the midterm elections approach, large segments of the historically Democrat base are abandoning that Party.  Many Hispanic voters have decided that they don’t want to live in an America without borders, without genders, without law enforcement, and where work is optional.  There are also defections of African-American voters, which would be catastrophic to Democrats.  But Democrats are in need of the needy, so they’re shopping around.  The Left has spent the past 50 years indoctrinating college students with Socialist propaganda.  Young people have been conditioned to believe that there’s no need for hard work because everything comes free from the government.  So the Dems are trying to buy them off with an illegal student loan forgiveness program.  But two-thirds of the voters didn’t go to college, so they need another group to “help.”  Enter, millions of illegal aliens.  Pardon me, “irregular migrants.”  Democrats are importing these people in order to manufacture a new underclass in need of aid.  Democrats are creating Two Americas, but this time there’s a difference.  Dr. King saw those in poverty as second class citizens.  Today’s Democrats have a different plan.  The divide is not ethnic or racial, and it’s not truly economic.  Instead, Democrats seek to subordinate the rights of the hard-working, tax-paying, American citizen, to those of the newly admitted illegal alien.  Don’t doubt me.  Simply open your eyes.  Illegal aliens are greeted at the border with new clothes, new phones, and government plane flights all over the country.  All 2.2 million illegals (that we know about) who enter America every year are considered to be asylum seekers, so Democrats pretend that they will someday appear in court to prove their status, though they know that’s a lie.  Democrats exalt “equity,” so they dare not discriminate, for instance, just because some of these people are mentally disturbed criminals.  Oh no!  Illegals without proper identification are permitted to board airline flights using an arrest warrant as a means of ID.  You try that.  Nobody’s mandating Covid vaccines, or any other medical screening, for the illegals in their America.  In your America however, you can’t work, travel, or send your kid to school without them.  In illegal alien Democrat America, everything is free.  Housing, medical care, education, food, transport – all supplied by Uncle Sucker.  In second class citizen America (that’s where you live) the top 10% of income earners pay 71% of the income taxes, and Democrats say they don’t pay their fair share.  In your America, rents and mortgage costs are astronomical and housing is extremely difficult to acquire.  In illegal alien America, this is not a concern.  The government is expected to supply every need.  However, there’s a problem.  National Democrats are so intent on replacing you with a new, needy population, that local Democrats can’t keep up.  As this is written, Mayor Adams in New York has begun to complain that too many replacement citizens have been admitted by his own Party.  He’s running out of places to put them.  Adams is moving a tent city for illegals to Randall’s island, where, presumably, the migrants will be able to enroll in the John McEnroe Tennis Academy.  Meanwhile, when so many American citizens are having trouble being able to afford little things like food and fuel due to Biden’s inflation, New York City is negotiating for the long-term lease of a luxury cruise ship, on which to house thousands of illegal aliens at an estimated cost of $15 million a month.  And while this may strike you, a mere American citizen, as crazy, insulting, and extravagant, for the Left, it’s not good enough.  The  Legal Aid and Coalition for the Homeless opposes the cruise ship plan, as well as the tent city plan, as violations of the legal rights of illegal aliens.  So, as you can see, the Democrats are right.  There clearly are Two Americas, as Democrats are hard at work trying to turn the hard-working American citizen into a second class citizen, whose only roles will be to pay up and shut up.  Now, you can sit back and accept second class citizenship, or you can get up, get out and vote Democrats out of power in November.

A number of years ago Jonah Goldberg wrote a book entitled Liberal Fascism, which exposed leftists (liberals, progressives, Woke nuts, whatever) as the true purveyors of fascism.  Given recent events, Goldberg was ahead of his time.  Democrats spend so much time calling conservatives fascists that they fail to recognize that everything they say, and everything they do typifies the very essence of fascism.  Or else, they’ve taken a page from Joe Goebbels and are simply accusing conservatives of that which they are doing.  I think I’ll take what’s behind door number two.  Democrats lately have resorted to changing the meaning of words when it suits their purposes. In this way, consecutive quarters of negative growth are no longer a recession,  and a flood of illegals crossing the border means the border is secure.  Following this Democrat illogic, the new definition of a fascist is now anyone who isn’t a wild-eyed, Woke fanatic.  Witness the election of Italy’s Georgia Meloni.   Meloni’s conservative Brother’s of Italy Party won a majority in Italy’s recent election, making Meloni the incoming Prime Minister.  The Left went nuts, labeling Meloni and her Party, far right, extremist, neo-fascists; the heirs of Benito Mussolini.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  The Left must condemn Meloni because she represents a threat, not to the Italian republic, but to their Woke orthodoxy.  Simply put, Georgia Meloni is a refreshing voice of sanity in a world that has become increasingly out of touch with reality.  The Woketard media calls Meloni a neo-fascist.  In our Brave New World, I guess that’s what Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden would call a semi-fascist.  The media, of course, are lying.  And no one should mind being called a “semi-fascist” by Joe Biden, who is an Epsilon semi-moron.  The media response to Meloni’s election from MSNBC was predictable.  “Italy will become more enmeshed in far-right networks that stretch from Vladimir Putin’s Russia to Viktor Orban’s Hungary to Jair Bolsonaro’s Brazil to Republican America. Like many Republicans, Meloni has done her best to present her extremism as mainstream and unexceptional.”  Only MSNBC could label a Communist dictator “far-right.”  And the only thing wrong with Orban and Bolsonaro is that they’re not Woke idiots, like all of the media.  So what’s wrong with Georgia Meloni?  Not a thing, unless you’re one of the Woke idiots, who are so intolerant that they cannot accept any opposition to their perverted policies.  So exactly what does Meloni’s Party stand for – “God, Fatherland, and Family.”  Shocking!  How extreme is that?  Meloni calls herself and her Party conservative, for centering freedom, the family, strong borders, and the defense of Italian nationalism.  Those positions are anything but fascist.  As David Harsanyi of The Federalist has pointed out, trying to connect Georgia Meloni to Italy’s fascist past is meaningless.  “It’s like saying Democrats have their “roots” in preserving slavery and segregation.”  The Left’s conclusion that Meloni’s dedication to families, faith and national identity is fascist exposes these Woke imbeciles for the perverted whackos that they truly are.  Some excerpts from Meloni speeches are revealing.  “Our main enemy today is the globalist drift of those who view identity and all its forms to be an evil to overcome. And constantly ask to shift real power away from the people to supernational entities headed by supposedly enlightened elites.  Why is the family an enemy?  Why is the family so frightening?  Because it defines us.  Because it is our identity. Because everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who would like us to no longer have an identity and to simply be perfect consumer slaves.” And so they attack national identity, they attack religious identity, they attack gender identity, they attack family identity. I can’t define myself as: Italian, Christian, woman, mother.  No. I must be citizen x, gender x, parent 1, parent 2. I must be a number.  Because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators. ”  “We will defend God, country, and family.  Those things that disgust people so much.  We will do it to defend our freedom. Because we will never be slaves and simple consumers at the mercy of financial speculators.  That is our mission.”  Amen sister.  Meloni also quoted some words of G.K. Chesterton, words which, though written more than a century ago, apply no less to today’s world. “Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four.  Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.”  “That time has arrived.  We are ready.”  And try this Chesterton quote on for size.  “Men are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern.”  But Georgia Meloni as the heir to Benito Mussolini?  Stop, look and listen to these Mussolini quotes, and compare them to the principles set forth by Georgia Meloni.  Here are some Benito’s best.  You decide which Party sounds more fascist. “We do not argue with those who disagree with us, we destroy them.” “The press of Italy is free, freer than the press of any other country, so long as it supports the regime.”  “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”  “Fascism accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with the state’s.”  “At every hour of every day, I can tell you on which page of which book each school child in Italy is studying.”  “Believe, obey, fight.”  “The truth is that men are tired of liberty.”  “We have buried the putrid corpse of liberty.”  Every one of those Mussolini quotations embodies the policies of the Left.  Destroy, a/k/a “cancel” anybody who dares to disagree with you.  Assert government control over every aspect of life.  Subordinate the rights of the individual to the interests of the State.  Control education to indoctrinate the young.  Denigrate liberties in favor of obedience.  Let’s face it, the Leftists who run the Democrat Party are all fascist all the time.  Benito would be so proud.  Georgia Meloni rejects globalism and corporatism.  She refuses to sacrifice the freedoms and the faith of her citizens to the tender mercies of of the Woke mob, which denies history, ignores reality, and seeks to tear down faith, principle, and family, in pursuit of some perverted new world order.  Georgia Meloni should be celebrated as the voice of reason.  Viva Italia!

From the fourth to the seventeenth centuries, English and other European law extended the right to sanctuary to criminals and runaway slaves.  Once inside a church, fugitives were immune to arrest and prosecution for crimes.  A famous example from literature is the gypsy girl Esmeralda safely entering the Paris cathedral of Notre Dame, while Quasimodo calls from the bell tower, “Sanctuary!”  Nowadays, the word sanctuary is used by Leftist cities and States which refuse to aid the federal government in the enforcement of immigration laws, actively shield illegal alien criminals from State and federal justice, and righteously proclaim that all illegal aliens, to whom they refer as “irregular migrants,” are welcome in their jurisdictions.  The sanctuary city/State policies gained momentum in the face of President Trump’s border wall and border security policies.  The Blue states announced that they would resist all attempts by the federal government to enforce the immigration laws already on the books.  The District of Columbia, passed the Sanctuary Values Act, which prohibits jails, police and other city agencies from sharing information with ICE or giving them special access.  It also restricts the city’s prisons from functioning as immigration detention centers.  New Jersey, I’m sorry to say,  follows the same policy.  In this regard, the Democrats, who love to throw around the word “insurrection” should be advised that any State, or city which resists, frustrates, or prevents the enforcement of federal law is engaging in a real insurrection.  The Constitution is crystal clear on this point, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States … shall be the supreme law of the land … anything in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”  We hadn’t heard much about sanctuary city/state insurrections since the advent of the administration of Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden.  I guess it’s not necessary for a State to frustrate the enforcement of immigration laws when the federal government itself has decided not to enforce those laws.  But the sanctuary policy was front and center in recent days, as a result of the actions of Governors Abbott and DeSantis, who have been relocating illegal aliens from Texas and Florida to places like Martha’s Vineyard and Washington, D.C.  The D.C. sanctuary policy was described above.  Martha’s Vineyard, the playground of ultra-rich, leftist/socialist A-holes, is perhaps the epicenter of self-righteous virtue signaling.  A sign on the island announces, “We stand with immigrants, with refugees, with indigenous peoples.  All are welcome here.”  Vineyard residents and visitors took pride in this sentiment right up to the moment that two planes from Florida, carrying 50 illegal aliens, landed on Martha’s Vineyard, the aliens deplaned and asked, “When do we eat?”  At that point, the welcome ended.  The aliens spent less than 48 hours on the island.  Then, the Vineyard residents declared a humanitarian crisis, and stood with the “migrants” only long enough for 125 soldiers to round them up and take them to a military base in Cape Cod.   There was plenty of room for the unvaccinated illegal aliens on the military base as the Biden administration has dismissed more than 62,000 members of the military who refused the vaccination.  This,of course, is madness, and an insult to every man and woman who ever has served in the military.  The story was much the same in Washington, D.C., where several busloads of illegals were dropped off at Kamala Harris’ residence.  The Mayor of that sanctuary city immediately panicked, and called for National Guard troops.  Do you notice a pattern to this madness?  Democrats invite illegal aliens to enter, throw the border open to all comers, including at least 78 people on the terrorist watch list that we know about, proclaim themselves and their cities the welcomers of these new arrivals, fly them all over the country, and provide them with phones, medical care, and education, but when they’re sent to one of these supposed sanctuaries by a  Red state governor, they call out the troops to arrest them.  These are the same people who lambasted President Trump for trying to stop the invasion, and warned him not to use the military to defend our own border.  And, because they are both myopic and psychotic, they perceive no hypocrisy in their actions.  New York City, perhaps the ultimate supposed sanctuary city, only added to the hypocrisy.  Mayor Adams announced that New York “is at the breaking point” due to the busloads of aliens sent there from Texas.  According to Adams, his city of 8 million can’t cope with several hundred aliens from Texas.  He thinks they should have stayed in Texas, where El Paso (population 865,000) and Eagle Pass (population 28,000) are dealing with thousands of invaders every day.  Indeed, 265 aliens arrive every hour.  They don’t call out the militia, and they get no help from the federal government.  One and all, the sanctimonious sanctuary sycophants blame Governors Abbott and DeSantis for their problems, because they dared to relocate several hundred illegals. Yet they find absolutely no fault with their own fearless, and witless leader, Joe Biden, the chief engineer of the border disaster.  These phonies call the actions of Abbott and DeSantis shameless political stunts.  But what choice did they have?  Because we don’t have an honest media, prepared to tell the American public the truth about the scope of the disaster wrought by Biden and company, the relocations were the only way to get the lying SOB’s of the media even to mention the border crisis at all.  This year alone, 2.1 million illegal aliens have been processed by ICE.  No one knows how many millions have entered without encountering an ICE agent.  Who are they?  How many dependents do they have?  Are they  afflicted with communicable diseases?  Where they will go,  and what they will do when they get there?  Are any of them criminals?  Are any mentally ill, and thus a danger to themselves or others?  How much it will cost to house, feed, clothe, educate and treat these masses?  If anyone knows, they’re not  talking.  The federal government has wrought this disaster, with the full support of the leftist A-holes who are in favor of these idiotic sanctuary policies.  Moreover, if anyone even asks for an answer to one of the questions posed above, he is branded an anti-immigration racist.  Even the Democrats must understand that this situation is unsustainable.  Clearly, their goal is to collapse the social safety net so they can turn, sorry “beautifully transform,” the country into a Socialist workers’ paradise, just like North Korea or Cuba.  November is coming.  Only your vote can stop them.

We live among a wild-eyed group of fanatics who demand that we immediately stop using oil and natural gas, drastically reduce CO2 levels by closing down our industries, and putting millions out of work, and ending the use of gasoline automobiles, which, they tell us, are to be replaced in short order by electric vehicles (EVs).  If we don’t agree, we’re labelled “climate deniers,” and are accused of trying to kill all Mankind (or should that be Peoplekind?  Or is that also objectionable.  Maybe it should be homosapienskind, or homokind for short, but you can’t say that either, so I guess it’s LGBTQ+kind).  In any event, the Climate Activists (or Greens, Econuts, or just plain nuts) have assured us that if we don’t do exactly as they demand, and now, we have only 12, or 10, or is it 7 years left before the Earth is consumed in fire and all of us are dead.  If that sounds crazy, it’s only because it is.  Most people used to understand this.  When nuts used to walk up and down wearing signs proclaiming the end of the world, we saw them for what they were – Nuts.  I mean, the evidence was right in front of us.  Climate nuts were predicting the end of the world within 30 years in 1970.  For a time, there was talk of a new Ice Age that would kill us.  Then, when that didn’t happen, it was Global Warming.  The problem was that, about 14 years ago, the warming stopped.  First, they published fake graphs to support their cause, and then they renamed it Climate Change.  Whatever they call it, it never comes to pass.  Hence – Nuts.  In our current state, however, the “end of the world” prophets are considered the sane ones, and the rest of us are said to be out of step, dangerous, and fit only for destruction.  Government officials, who once were considered to be reasonable representatives of the public interest, have drunk the Climate Kool-Aid, and are implementing nutty measures to forestall an imaginary apocalypse.  The federal government is spending hundreds of billions of dollars to subsidize so-called Green Energy projects, which are mostly pork barrel crap.  California and other States have enacted laws which, if implemented, will outlaw the sale of gasoline powered cars within 13 years.  No gas, no diesel, and no hybrid-electric.  EVs only.  Only this, they tell us, will save the planet.  The nuts care not that the planet isn’t going anywhere, that their plans will usher in a world-wide depression and famine, and that, most importantly, it won’t work.  The nuts have decided that they want EVs and only EVs, to reduce carbon emissions.  Every year, they get on their private jets and spew carbon all over the globe, to attend climate conferences, where they congratulate one another on their superior intelligence.  The problem is they’ve missed a couple of important steps. Our Energy and Interior Secretaries have said they want to keep oil and gas in the ground, but they can’t, because oil and gas are necessary to manufacture EVs.  The average gasoline car contains 342 pounds of plastic.  Oil and natural gas are needed to produce plastic.  An EV uses 742 pounds of plastic.  12 years ago, we needed nearly 200 million barrels of oil and 412 billion cubic feet of natural gas to produce plastic.  How much more will be needed for EVs?  Making an EV also requires lithium batteries, cobalt and a number of rare Earth elements, such as neodymium.  Most rare Earths, and 85% of all cobalt are found in China, so they profit from EVs.  China has a lot of lithium too.  We could mine lithium here, but Climate Nuts are against that too.  They don’t approve of mining.  More carbon is emitted to make an EV than in the production of a gas powered car, especially when the components are mined in places like China.  So EVs are not as Green as advertised.  Plus, we’re not alone in the world.  Countries like the UK have EV climate goals too.  A study found that, the conversion of the UK to EVs would require two times the total annual world cobalt production, nearly the entire world production of neodymium, three quarters the world’s lithium production and at least half of the world’s copper production.  Just for the UK.  We have 9 times as many cars as the UK.  Do the math.   Then there’s that other little problem.  EVs need to be charged – with electricity, which has to somehow be produced.  The nuts don’t want to use fossil fuels, or coal, or nuclear energy to generate electricity.  That leaves wind and solar, and during a miserable New Jersey winter, just wind, and that’s just not enough.   If virtually all passenger cars in Texas were electrified today, the state would need to produce enough electricity to power 11 million more homes.  This added demand would increase electricity consumption by 30 percent.  Costs would skyrocket, and Texas wound up in the dark a couple of winters ago when some windmills froze.  California might require nearly 50 percent more electricity than it currently consumes if passenger vehicles in the state were fully electrified.  Where’s it going to come from?  Oh, and by the way, none of the windmill turbines are recyclable, if the wind blows more than 45 MPH you have to shut them down, and they kill about 235,000 birds a year.  California now has about 15% EVs.  Last week, it got hot and Governor Newsom warned people not to charge their EVs, lest the power go out in 100 degree heat.  So, let’s hear it for EVs – freeze in the winter and croak in the summer.  Plus, as we have seen, there’s no way to produce and maintain an all EV world.  The Climate nut goals are unrealistic, and unattainable.  If implemented, they would produce poverty and a further breakdown of society.  The Leftists know this, and it’s just what they want.  They know all cars can’t be EVs.  The truth is they don’t want gas powered cars or EVs.  They want you dependent on mass transit.  To do that, they have to concentrate people in the cities.  Why do you think the federal government is trying to take over all zoning and is shipping illegal aliens to cities?  The Left doesn’t care about the climate, or the planet, or whether you live or die, so long as whoever’s left votes for Democrats.  The object isn’t clean air, it’s absolute control.  When you’re cold, hungry, and sitting in the dark, you won’t have time to think about what happened to your constitutional rights.

When the God-awful 1962 New York Mets got to spring training that first year, their manager, Casey Stengel, surveyed his new team and asked, “Can’t anybody here play this game?”  We might well ask the same thing of the Biden Administration.  When Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden conducted his presidential campaign from his basement, and every utterance he issued turned out to be incomprehensible word salad, we kind of got the idea that someone other than Old Joe would be pulling the strings behind the scenes at the White House.  And with drooling stunad Joe Biden sitting in the big boy chair, most people thought that was a good thing.  And it could have worked, if only the people pulling the strings had any idea what the F they were doing.  We’ve all heard the old saw, “elections have consequences.”  That’s very true, of course, but there’s a limit.  The winning Party might want to spend more here, rather than there.  The nub of the problem is that Joe Biden’s victory in 2020 represented nothing more than the electorate’s decision to replace Donald Trump with someone else.  The Democrats understood this in the 2020 campaign.  Biden was sold as a moderate, who would unify the country, and calm the nation after Raging Bull Trump.  The Democrats knew they were lying, but enough voters believed them.  Remember the Democrat Party line just after Biden’s inauguration?  “Our national nightmare is over.  The adults are back in control.”  This bolstered their campaign lies.  How many times have you heard, “It’s not Trump’s policies, it’s his personality I object to.  Too many tweets.”  Democrats promised a return to normalcy.  The Mad Tweeter gone, and just good solid government.  Nobody signed up for Biden’s “beautiful transition” of America from the envy of the world to a Third World hellhole.  If Biden had said, “If elected, I’ll throw open the southern border and admit millions of illegal aliens to take your jobs,” would he have won?  If he’d said, “Once in office, I’m going to more than double the cost of gasoline, destroy the oil industry, ban gasoline cars, and drive the price of heating fuel so high some of you will have to decide whether to starve or freeze,” would he have won?  If he’d said, “I promise runaway inflation, high interest rates that will collapse the housing market, and shortages of everything including baby formula,” would anyone have voted for the senile SOB?  Yet Biden’s handlers have stumbled and bumbled themselves into all these plus many more.  Biden’s approval ratings are in the toilet, and the mid-term elections are fast approaching, with the prospect of the Democrats losing one or both Houses of Congress.  It’s crunch time.  The Democrat brand is mud, and Biden has to rally his troops.  So, last week, Biden decided to remedy his problem by giving what has become known as “The Speech From Hell.”   Biden stood in Independence Hall against a blood-red background that looked hellish, backed up by U.S. Marines.

Fresh from his speech calling half the country semi-fascists, Biden doubled down, “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.”  “As I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault.  MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards.”  He added a classic Biden self-contradiction saying, “The Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans.  And that is a threat to this country.”  Then adding,  “Not even a majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. ”  Biden called on Americans “to stop the assault on American democracy.”  How?  By voting for his Party, or by voting for candidates with no connection to President Trump?  No.  Strangely, Biden didn’t suggest meeting this imaginary threat by exercising our right to vote.  He said, “We are all called by duty and conscience to confront extremists who put their own pursuit of power above all else.”  Then after exhorting the populace to rise up and confront the semi-fascist, extremist, MAGA enemies of the State, Biden threw in a joke, “But I’m an American president.  Not a president of red America, blue America.”  The speech was so bad even two CNN commentators panned it, and it spawned editorials questioning Biden’s mental health.  But roll back to the beginning of this piece.  Biden’s not really the one in charge.  He didn’t write the speech, he just read it.  Which leads us to the conclusion that it’s not just Biden who’s nuts, it’s all his handlers too.  But maybe there’s a method to their madness.  Why outrage and antagonize 50% of the voters weeks before a mid-term election?  Quite possibly for two reasons.  Biden’s making Trump the enemy even though Trump’s not on any ballot in November because the Democrats have to run against Trump.  Trump hatred put them in power.  If they can’t run against Trump, what can they do, run on their records?  Democrat turnout in mid-terms is always lower than in presidential years.  Two thirds of the country wants change, and Republicans were already motivated to vote.  So Biden’s speech was a call to arms for Democrats to rise up and slay their enemies.  That’s why “From Hell” was the best title for this piece.  If you’ve ever seen the movie Omen III – The Final Conflict, Biden’s call to destroy MAGA was reminiscent of Damian’s, “Slay the Nazarene” speech.  But I digress.  The bottom line is that the Dems have concluded they have nothing good to sell to voters in 2022.  Republicans have to be the great evil so they can be the lesser evil.  Not a very inspiring message.  The speech is also for 2024.  Democrats have spent seven years painting Trump as the Great Satan.  If they can’t run against Trump they’re toast in 2024, and they know it.  Second reason – Biden is desperate to keep control of Congress because if Republicans win, their investigations will uncover the crimes of the Biden Crime Family.  So Joe Biden the Unifier was sent out to call half the electorate extremist scum who are threats to democracy.  It was a dirty and dangerous political ploy, which reeks of desperation.  It was low, even for Democrats.  And it displayed kindly old Uncle Joe in a new, creepy red-tinged light.

But is he Il Duce, or just an old douchebag?   You decide.
