Biden's Vacuous Inauguration Speech

At his inauguration speech for US President, Biden made a speech that many have complimented. Easy to compliment as it contained all the right gratuitous platitudes. One such bromide:  "And I pledge this to you: I will be a President for all Americans. ... I will fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did.  ... We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal. " (emphasis added.) Sounds great, on the surface, provided you don't delve into the speech. Nowhere in the speech does Biden actually propose anything to "end this uncivil war" to promote Biden's promised healing and restoration of unity. It is up to the Biden as the winner to reach-out to those who lost to offer reconciliation. For example, Nancy Pelosi (the Speaker for the US House of Representatives) was pursing an unjust impeachment action against Donald Trump (the former President). If Biden was actually interested in unity and healing he could have provided Presidential leadership and requested that Pelosi drop the partisan impeachment action. Biden did not. Biden has failed his first leadership test to bring healing and unity.

Biden in his inauguration speech stated that he "will be a President for all Americans" (emphasis added). Following the inauguration Biden has gone on a spree of signing Executive Orders.  All the "bones" tossed out through the Executive Orders served the radical "left" political agenda. Not one of the "bones" tossed-out supported the political agenda of moderates and/or conservatives. As one example, Biden cancelled the permit for construction of the Keystone Pipeline. Ironically, cancelling the Keystone Pipeline damages Biden's "green" programs as completion of the pipeline would be the environmentally superior method of transporting oil. Biden has failed his second leadership test by purposely snubbing those who did not vote for him.

Biden in his inauguration speech foreshadowed the return of the "Security State" and McCarthyism. Biden ominously stated: "And now, a rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat."  Biden, then as vice-President to Barrack Obama participated in the illegal spying of the Trump campaign prior to Trump's election as President of the US. After Trump's election, Democrats and some members of the intelligence community continued on with highly questionable activities to "resist" the Trump administration and even pursued some very questionable criminal actions against members of the Trump administration. This includes the unjustified "Mueller Investigation" and the unjustified first impeachment effort.

 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one Democratic member of the US House of Representatives. She has been raising the potential to have things like an "enemies" list developed and to propose efforts to retaliate against former members of the Trump administration, such as the “Trump Accountability Project". A Truth and Reconciliation Commission and re-education camps to soon follow?  While, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is only one person, she is echoing what other Democrats have been alluding to. I guess, the Democrats are thumbing their nose at Biden's call for healing and unity by pursing divisive hateful tactics against conservatives. Biden has failed his third leadership test by raising the bogyman of "domestic terrorism". Based on Biden's prior use of illegal methods of domestic spying, we may soon seen it re-initiated, if it hasn't been already. Very scary.

Game Stop, Robinhood, Reddit, and Fake News

On January 27, 2020, Game Stop was caught in a classic short sellers squeeze which forced the stock price of Game Stop to soar and the market to "crash" as short sellers covered their positions. I'm not going to go into any of the details concerning this. Its very complex. What I will touch on, is the reaction of a financial pundit. In exacerbation he sarcastically remarked (paraphrased): "Where where the fact checkers"!!!

The financial pundits reaction was monumental. First, in publicly recognizing that the social media platforms can be utilized for market manipulation. Second, that a person who would normally be considered "outside" the world of hypercritical political hysteria would actually reference the atrocious use of "fact checkers" by social media platforms to suppress conservative thought, even to the point of de-platforming Parler.

The financial pundit's remark was sarcastic. I speculate that it was an extension of social media platforms use of questionable "fact checkers" repressing conservative speech under the claimed auspices preventing, as some examples: "fake news" and "misinformation".  "Fake news" and "misinformation" are the "bread and butter" of those participating in stock market manipulation. In conclusion, the financial pundit was highlighting the absurdity of social media platforms using "fact checkers" to suppress conservative thought, but then allowing stock market manipulation to occur through the use of their platforms without "fact checking" content control supervision. A double standard.

The Corruption of Civil Rights

Civil Rights as a concept has been corrupted. Originally Civil Rights was about achieving "equality". Martin Luther King, in his "I Have a Dream Speech" proclaimed: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." (emphasis added).  Today, "equality" is not the objective anymore for achieving Civil Rights. Instead, the objective is now to use race (the color of their skin) under the concept of "equity". King would be very disappointed.

Biden through his inaugural address and his recent Executive Orders has essentially legitimized this race based "equity" approach and made it official government policy.

Biden and the Democrats "Win" the 2020 Election with the "BIG LIE"

Biden has now assumed the office of the President of the US. Biden's "Big Lie" concerning Covid-19 is now beginning to unravel. Unfortunately, this is occurring after the election is over. The Democrats get the "trophy" of the Presidency and Legislative control through unethical and dishonest practices, despite their lies of sanctimoniously supporting those values to the public.

In a moment of post inauguration breaking news: Biden says pandemic's 'trajectory' can't be changed in coming several months​. From the article: "President Biden said that there is little that can be done to affect the course of the coronavirus pandemic in the coming days." Essentially, Biden who claimed to have a plan and (superhuman) leadership capabilities to end the Corona-19 virus pandemic before the election, now; after assuming office unbelievably says there is nothing that can be done. The "Big Lie" that successfully swayed the gullible public to vote for Biden and the Democrats.

Biden, throughout his campaign (falsely) claimed, that the Trump administration was doing nothing to combat the Covid-19 pandemic despite the very real existence of project warp speed. Furthermore, Biden during the campaign asserted that all the Covid-19 deaths in the US could be attributed directly to Trumps "failures", blatantly ignoring that other world leaders also had various success rates and death rates. Biden made accusations (easy to do), but then failed to say (hard to do) what could have been done differently. Now, Biden after saying that he had a plan and leadership skills is essentially saying that "nothing would have made a difference". All that dramatic hysterical criticism of Trump was for pure political theater to manipulate an election. Very unethical. 

In a typical twisted disingenuous attempt to cover-up this gaffe,  ABC news reported: Biden's early approach to virus: Underpromise, overdeliver. Particularly galling: "Chris Lu, a longtime Obama administration official, said the grim tone is aimed at “restoring trust in government” that eroded during the Trump administration." It was the Biden campaign that was undermining trust in government by claiming that Trump was doing nothing. Now that Biden has assumed office, the Biden administration acts as if none of their pre-election promises were ever made and now proclaims that they can do nothing to alter the natural progress of the pandemic. The Biden campaign mislead the public.

The Democrats during the 2020 election cycle were adamant concerning the use of "lock downs" as one strategy to blunt the spread of Covid-19. Evidently this strategy, because it is ineffective, is now falling apart after a year for a variety of reasons. One, the lack of science supporting it and second, the adverse impacts that it has had on the nations economy and people's lives. This points to Biden's previous assertions endorsing a "lock down" strategy as being fundamentally flawed in retrospect. At the time the "lock down" was initially introduced, it seemed reasonable. But over time and with evolving science, the "lock down" strategy began to display its ineffectiveness. Rather than adapt, Democrats increasingly weaponize this strategy to sabotage Trumps re-election efforts.  For Democrats its always party above the national interest.

The Democrats "won" by deploying the "Big Lie" and through the support of a complicit media that never challenged Biden's false assertions. Unfortunately, election can't be redone.
