After watching the Presidential Debate last week, most of us had strong immediate opinions.
The Kendall County Republican Party had a watch party with 35-40 people in attendance. There were gasps, open jaws and laughter at the performance of our sitting president.
Some were jubilant at the thought that Joe Biden might lose in November or be replaced on the ballot. However, after taking some time to reflect and rewatch the debate, my reaction has changed to one of anger, fear and disbelief.
If you are a political enthusiast like me, you’re probably familiar with the typical behavior of our president. The false claims about no American troops dying under his watch, 40% fewer immigrants crossing the border compared to the previous administration, attributing runaway inflation to his predecessor, or boasting about his golf handicap being a 6 would not surprise you. You may already be used to his gaffes, inability to articulate thoughts clearly, or rambling. However, the majority of Americans are not as politically informed, and rely on media outlets that do not truthfully report on these matters.
After the initial excitement over Biden’s performance, I found myself asking, “Who is really running our country?” Despite the frequent jokes, it has become evident that it is not Joe Biden. Could it be Dr. Jill Biden, Vide President Kamala Harris, the Obamas, the Clintons, or Susan Rice?
That’s something to ponder. We deserve an answer. I am not sure why this is a partisan issue.
Have you noticed how the press quickly distanced themselves from Biden? The New York Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution, and Chicago Tribune have all called for him to resign as the Presidential nominee.
Liberal commentators have acted shocked. How often have we heard Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer or other Democrat party leaders affirm that President Biden is sharp and at the top of his game?
It is no wonder why Merrick Garland won’t hand over the Robert Hur tapes. Shame on all of them. They knew our President was incapacitated and unfit to govern, yet they continued to conceal it. Their pursuit of power and control has gravely endangered our nation. The Democrat party has put their own interests before the welfare of our nation.
China, Russia, North Korea and Iran watched Biden’s performance last week. Whom do you think they would prefer as president of the United States?
If they were to interfere in an election, whose side do you think they would take? Former President Trump, who was imposing sanctions on Iran and containing China and Russia, or President Biden, who has provided funding to Iran and exhibited weakness in the Afghanistan withdrawal, ultimately leading to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine without repercussions and China’s continued threats to Taiwan.
If you were Putin or Xi Jinping, would you wait to become more aggressive with Ukraine, invade Taiwan by January 20, 2025, or speed up your plans? As a parent of two military-aged boys, and with a military that appears more focused on implementing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies than recruiting, I fear for what lies ahead for us over the next few months.
During our watch party, many of us looked at each other and said, “They are going to replace him.” While it’s one thing for Republicans to express this, to our surprise, the overwhelming majority of Democrat strategists and pundits suggested the same. This really infuriates me. During his speech, the President even implied that those of us who vote for Trump threaten democracy. So, let me get this straight, the Democratic party is going to replace their nominee, whom they’ve lauded for doing a masterful job and who has won their party’s primaries, with someone decided by a few power brokers. What hypocrisy.
I leave for the Republican National Convention next week and my morale could not be higher. We go into the convention with great momentum and enthusiasm. Will we be allowed to celebrate our presidential nominee, or will they throw him in jail on July 11? After witnessing that debate, nothing would surprise me. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Let’s be clear, the Democrats are desperate and in a panic. Not only could they lose the presidency with Joe Biden, but the lack of enthusiasm might lead to massive losses down the ballot.
I would like to ask a favor of all of you. If you’re not registered, please register to vote. Vote, and encourage ten of your friends to do the same. Let’s not become complacent. The future existence of our country is at stake.
