The greatness of Biden is political malarky

&NewLine;<p>You must give Democrats credit for peddling the most absurd hyper-hyperbolic campaign narratives as a means of gaslighting the American people with spin and fearmongering&period;&nbsp&semi; They follow the Joseph Goebbels school of propaganda&period;&nbsp&semi; The bigger the lie&comma; the more it will be believed – especially if you repeat it over and over&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>That strategy is seen with the bogus claims that the riot on Capitol Hill was an insurrection &&num;8230&semi; an attempted coup &&num;8230&semi; a planned overthrow of the government&period;&nbsp&semi; They take their hyperbole into hyperspace with claims that the election of President Trump will literally end the American Democracy&period;&nbsp&semi; And lately&comma; they claim that the election of Trump will destroy the world&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>They have taken the fact the earth is warming &lpar;and yes&comma; it is&rpar; – and that is the fault of human activity – as some Draconian situation that will literally wipe humans off the face of the earth&period;&nbsp&semi; This despite the fact that their short-term ominous predictions have not come to pass&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi; They use weather cycles – such as this year’s high temperatures – as evidence&period;&nbsp&semi; &lpar;Incidentally&comma; the Global Historical Climatology Network’s list of the top ten hottest Junes does not even include 2024&period;&nbsp&semi; The hottest was 1933&period; If you are interested&comma; the other nine in order of severity are 1934&comma;1911&comma; 2021&comma; 1951&comma; 2021&comma; 1931&comma; 2016&comma; 1918 and 1936&period;&rpar;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>These claims are always expressed as a certainty – as settled issues&period;&nbsp&semi; To disagree is to be – as they say – stupid&period;&nbsp&semi; Some sort of social or political moron&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>One of the latest nonsense narratives is the greatness of President Biden&period;&nbsp&semi; Political partisans and sycophants talk of the greatness of President Biden and his presidency as if it is a fact&period;&nbsp&semi; And they say it with a straight face&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>They say he is one of the greatest presidents in American history – standing with &lpar;or even above&rpar; George Washington&comma; Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln&period;&nbsp&semi; They say he has had the most successful four years in office of any of his predecessors&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Democrats and the left-wing media are campaigning for the gullible vote&period; It is hard to imagine that any thinking American would not see the malarky for what it is&period;&nbsp&semi; And apparently&comma; they do see it for what it is&period;&nbsp&semi; You just cannot fool all the people all the time&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So &&num;8230&semi;  what do the people think of history’s greatest president&quest;  His favorability rating among the people is around 36 percent – among the LOWEST in history&period;  More than two-thirds of the people believe the nation under Biden’s leadership is going in the wrong direction&period;  Most people say they were better off under Trump than they have been under Biden&period;  Virtually every poll shows that most people trust Trump more than Biden to handle the economy&comma; inflation&comma; immigration&comma; crime and foreign affairs&period;  Despite Democrats&&num;8217&semi; hyperbolic claims&comma; Trump is seen as much a protector of democracy as Biden – although Biden does have a small edge on that issue&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Biden is seen as incompetent in handling the surrender in Afghanistan &&num;8230&semi; managing the Hamas War &&num;8230&semi; and his too little&sol;too late support for Ukraine&period;&nbsp&semi; His weakness has set off a range of aggressive activities by the enemies of the United States&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Two thirds of Americans believe that Biden is too old to be president&period;  They think he should withdraw – including 54 percent of Democrat voters&period;  And &&num;8230&semi; at this moment&comma; he is losing the election to a man Biden &amp&semi; Co&period; hyperbolically claims to be &&num;8230&semi; channeling Adolph Hiter &&num;8230&semi; is the antichrist &&num;8230&semi;  and is an acolyte of Satan&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>They tout Biden’s accomplishments as if they are akin to victory in the War of 1812 &&num;8230&semi;the acquisition of the Louisiana Territory &&num;8230&semi; the constitutional amendments and legislation that ended slavery &&num;8230&semi; winning World War I and World War II &&num;8230&semi; the civil rights legislation of the 1960s &&num;8230&semi; ending the Cold War &lpar;as opposed to getting us into new ones&rpar;&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>And what about Nixon’s one term&quest;  Extended the voting age to 18-year-olds &&num;8230&semi; passed the affirmative action legislation &&num;8230&semi; ended the war in Vietnam &&num;8230&semi; established diplomatic relations with China &&num;8230&semi;&period; strong economy &lpar;no inflation&rpar; &&num;8230&semi; the Equal Employment Opportunity Act &&num;8230&semi; Executive Order 11458 establishing the Office of Minority Business Enterprise&period;  All big effing deals – to borrow Biden’s terminology&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The Biden legislation – the hallmark of his alleged greatness – is not historically notable other than it has been much more expensive than most &&num;8212&semi; significantly contributing to the inflation he claimed would never come&period;&nbsp&semi; Whatever one may think of the &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;chips bill&comma;” the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act&comma; or the Infrastructure Act&comma; they lack the gravitas to be remembered among the historic list of presidential achievements&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Biden is not even close to greatness in the pantheon of truly great and accomplished presidents&period;&nbsp&semi; Whether he gets a second term or not&comma; Biden will eventually fade in the shadow of history – joining the likes of Martin Van Buren&comma; John Tyler&comma; Millard Fillmore and James Buchanan in the Club of Forgotten Presidents&period;&nbsp&semi; No amount of contemporary malarky-based campaign hype will change that&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
