Stage In The Sky

On a perfectly lovely Sunday night, capping off a lovely Thanksgiving holiday…I saw news that deleted the last ounce of respect I had for this guy. When he pardoned his son.  

Without a doubt, Joe Biden is the worst president I’ve ever experienced. For those scoring at home, I was born in 1986.  

So, yes…I’ve read about the awfulness of presidents like Jimmy Carter, Nixon, and even bumbling 19th century presidents like James Buchanon and how Rutherford B Hayes dropped the ball when it comes to Reconstruction in the South. 

But Joe Biden…and quite frankly, everyone who was tricked, pressured, manipulated, and brow-beaten into voting for him… Points Discussed:

• How Was He Elected to Begin With
• Black People and Selective Outrage
• Keystone Pipeline and Afghanistan Disaster
• Ukraine
• Trans, Supreme Court, and Education
• Crime, Immigration, and Inflation
• His Own Party Kicks Him Out
• Pardoning His Own Son

How Was He Elected to Begin With… 

Let’s back it up and touch on how he was voted into office into Office to begin with. 

This is all personal opinion, so read at your own peril…but I fully believe the main reasons why Joe Biden got the majority popular vote had nothing to do with his leadership ability and it had very little to do with his false promises of canceling student loan debt or the hope of an Obama 2.0 for all who worship Obama. 

I believe the main reason why he won was because most of the country was tired of the relentless complaining and whining by everyone who hated Trump. That’s it. 

Since the day Trump took office, the mainstream media has done nothing but saturated the news cycle with relentlessly hyped up scandals or protests, one after another. Things that had no real effect or severe detriment to our daily lives as a whole, like him paying off some stripper in the past.

But they latched on to his every utterance and blew it up to make it seem like it was so destructive, grandstanding with such moral hypocrisy, calling it “Divisive” when, ironically, its the media and their efforts to tear him down that were the most divisive. That’s why my more of my generation have taken to Podcasters and Youtube to get their news.

I remember it like it was yesterday. It’s like, never mind the burgeoning economy, the low un-employment rate, how strong the country was becoming militarily, his efforts to restoring peace in the Middle East, or the authority by which the likes of Russia, China, and N. Korea was reluctant to act against American interest. 

No…I believe most Americans simply wanted the b**ching and moaning of cry-baby liberals to stop. The wanted the everyday headline news of how much Trump is dividing us to stop. And if that meant getting Trump and his mean tweets out of office, so be it.  

Which is basically the equivalent of irresponsible parents giving their children candy because they won’t stop crying until you do. 

Seriously, I’ve talked to so many who voted for Biden and the main reason they voted against Trump was because of his rhetoric and tweets. It’s like, “he must be racist and misogynistic” because the mainstream’s convinced them to interpret his words as such.  

Their hatred for Trump outweighed the pragmatism of “what’s best for this country” and it disgusted me to no end.  

Black People and Selective Outrage 

On top of all that…this dude went on Charlemagne’s show and straight up said, “if you don’t know who you voting for, you ain’t black.”

I couldn’t believe it. As a black guy who hates it when other blacks say “you ain’t black enough” or “you wish you were white” because I don’t fit in a flipping stereotype, to hear this old white dude say that with a straight face was one of the most insulting things I’ve ever heard from a public figure.  

And I heard Sen. Mazie Hirono tell men to “Shut up and stand up” for women. 

As much as everyone wants to call Trump a racist, the same Trump who was friends with all kinds of black celebrities and had a hand in advancing the careers of many…they called Trump racist but completely overlooked Biden’s racist remarks. 

This…THIS should’ve been your first red flag that Biden and a lot of his supporters aren’t standing on principles, if they have any principles at all. 

What I mean by that, is because he’s “your guy” you’re willing to overlook the blatant racism, the pandering, and all the creepy things he’s done when it comes to women and children. 

Which is classic “Leftist,” because I’ve had to deal with Millennials like this all throughout my 20s. If they like you, you can say whatever you want, and they won’t see anything wrong with it. But if they simply don’t like you, they will use their outrage and claim it’s any number of isms…and it’s SO OBVIOUS! It’s in your face! 

But whatever, right? If a majority of this country votes to destroy this country, who am I to stand in the way of that? 

Keystone Pipeline and Afghanistan Disaster: 

As soon as Biden took office, he and his administration set out to undo a lot of what Trump did to build the economy. The big one was shutting down the Keystone Pipeline that would’ve made us less energy dependent on the bad guys, aka, Russia and the Middle East, leading to the immediate rise of gas prices across the country. 

Speaking of the Middle East, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who’s heart sank to the pit of his stomach when you saw people, our allies, falling from departing planes in the disaster of the 2021 Afghanistan evacuation.  

Again…I could not believe what was happening. It was chaos. 

It wasn’t just that we left millions in weapons and equipment behind, it wasn’t just that we left thousands of our allies behind who risk their lives to help our servicemen abroad…it was a huge blow to our respect and reputation as the United States of America.  

For those who don’t think that’s a big idea…it’s like what Teddy Roosevelt said, “speak softly and carry a big stick.”  

A strong father maintains order in the household because you know what he’s capable of. You know what he’ll do if you cross him. Without that figure, that threat of retaliation and retribution, the children are left to their own discretion as to whether they want to obey or not, keep the peace or not. 

It’s the same across the world. There needs to be a world leader, a number one that provides the checks and balances against other nations that could produce another Hitler…because that’s how Hitler really became a menace. 

Back in the 1930s, America had a very soft, isolationist attitude towards the world after WWI, allowing a country like Germany to steadily gain momentum with its antisemitism, calls for more land (Lebensraum), and eventually the invasion of Poland. 

When the world saw how the United States tucked tail and turned its back on its allies in Afghanistan, leading to the Taliban to regain control of the territory with breathtaking speed…is it really any wonder that Russia decided to invade Ukraine or that China and N. Korea’s been flexing its muscles and poking the bear with spy drones and missile testings?

Ukraine:  

Speaking of Ukraine…even before Biden took office, I knew he and his son Hunter had dealings in the region. 

I know people hate FoxNews and think it’s the media wing of the Republican Party, but feel free to fact check them. Did Joe and Hunter Biden have business dealings in the Ukraine or not, landing them millions of dollars?

That’s why it wasn’t surprising to see Biden’s Administration backing Ukraine, giving them billions of dollars in support. Meanwhile, FEMA ran out of money after Hurricane Helena ravaged the Southeast.

Trans, Supreme Court, and Education  

Under Biden’s administration, starting from the top down with his cabinet choices, and trickling to other facets of society, we’ve seen how facts and logic have taken a backseat to feelings and the destruction of everything that made America strong…like family and a foundational code of morality. 

In 2022, Biden’s Supreme Court pick Ketanji Brown Jackson, a black woman, couldn’t even answer what a woman was during her hearing.  

During Biden’s administration, we’ve seen how the education system has been corrupted, almost intentionally with an emphasis to inject liberal ideals, leading to an increase of young people identifying as genders they weren’t born as.  

School boards have erupted with angry parents protesting the filth that’s found its way into the classrooms. And as much as I do want to applaud the good hardworking teachers who devote so much to the main subjects…we’ve seen way too many emphasize sex, gender roles, and tolerance and acceptance to basically usurp the traditional values many of us inherited.  

And BECAUSE the traditional values are being tossed out the window, we have too many unruly children being raised in single parent and broken homes. Teachers are quitting because they’re too out of hand, disrespectful, and violent, not just attacking other students, but teachers themselves. 

And when they raise the issues to the parents, the parents demonstrate where the bad behavior’s coming from because they show no decorum themselves. They’re raising their kids on inappropriate music and TV shows, following the trends of popular culture that’s pushing things like gender fluidity and sexual liberation. 

Crime, Immigration, and Inflation

Given their passive stance on law enforcement where many in the Democratic camp have called for “Defunding the Police”, crime has become a major issue in major cities. 

Migrants have flooded the boarder and, at this point, basically invaded parts of this country where a Venezuelan based gang called Tren De Aragua have set up camp in cities across the US, from Colorado to NYC.

I’m not even going to touch on the murders committed by illegal immigrants because that’d require a whole nother essay.

All of these issues have led to many fleeing the Blue States in favor of states like Florida, my state.  Of course, we hope they leave their Blue State mentality where they left. But the results of the exodus have led to property values increasing in cities like Orlando, Miami, and Tampa.  

Remember that American Dream?  

It was by the grace of God that I bought my first home in 2019 before Biden took office. But a lot of my peers are still renting with roommates. Some are looking to get married and even with dual incomes, they still can’t afford the down-payments.  

To give you an example. I bought my 2-bed, 2-bath condo in 2019 for $141,000. But thanks to Biden, by 2023, my home is now worth $245,000.

Again, to talk about inflation could take a whole other essay, but we’ve all been affected by it. The price of gas, food, materials and supplies have hit nearly every sector. Businesses and corporations are laying people off at a rampant rate and even there, I’ve seen how many of these CEOs refuse to acknowledge how any of this has to do with the Biden administration.  

I suspect it’s because, being in their tax bracket, they don’t have to interact with most of the proletariat and thus, the echo-chamber has them believing the problem lies elsewhere. 

His Own Party Kicks Him Out

By the time the 2024 election cycle came down, Biden’s own party finally had to admit what damn near every sane bodied person has been seeing for years. 

Every time he stumbled going up stairs. Every time he hit that far-off look while standing at the podium. Every mumble utterance he gave during a public address told us all that this dude is at the end of his rope.

And for that…I wasn’t even mad at him. I was mad at as his puppet masters and again, the mass who voted for him. Seriously, I was starting to feel bad for the guy. My heart goes out to senior citizens. 

My problem with this was simply the sleaziness of the party to deny, deny, deny what’s going on. And when they finally kicked him out to replace him with Harris, the media immediately jumped on Harris’s bandwagon after the same media pundits have been attacking everyone who criticized Biden’s for not being mentally fit to lead. 

And then they wonder why people don’t trust the news.  

In Jason Whitlock’s podcast recently, he highlighted a liberal guy who said along the lins of, “I’m beginning to think the more I listen to the media, the further I get from reality.” Because most of his friends were “surprised” that Harris lost against Trump. 

“Well, Rock. Were you surprised?” 

When I say nothing surprises me anymore, I don’t say that to be braggadocious. In 2020, I expected Trump to win because it was the obvious logical choice. I was “surprised” that a majority of the people in this country were so misled or foolish or selfish that they voted for the wrong guy.

So, if Trump lost this election in 2024, it wouldn’t have surprised me. Because too many people like to double down on their stupidity instead of course correcting.  

Trump is the right person for the job because Harris has the same problem Biden has…other than abortion, she’s too cowardly to make a clear and concise stand on anything. 

When asked if she believed in using Tax Payer dollars to pay for prisoners to get gender changing surgery, she answered, “I will follow the law.”  

Would you? Is that what Joe Biden’s doing by pardoning his son? 

Pardoning His Own Son Instead of Being a Leader 

I’ll end this post-long rant with this…because over the Thanksgiving break, me and my girlfriend watched the HBO Miniseries “John Adams” to prepare us for our upcoming trip to Philadelphia. Now granted, it is a work of fiction. But the sentiment is still the same. Leaders lead. How do you lead? By example.

Nearing the end of his tenure in office, aside from giving Ukraine permission to use long-range missiles and potentially provoke Russia into declaring war on us…Joe Biden announced a full pardon for his son’s gun conviction.

Hunter Biden was facing years behind bars and Joe Biden gave his son the unconditional pardon for the last 10 years.  

Now, we get it. Everyone and their mothers understands why a father would do this for his son. But you’re the President of the United States of America. The so-called “leader of the free world.”  

If there’s one thing you could’ve done to leave people with a shred of respect for you is if you honored your vow to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” What better way to do that than to stand by your principles, stand by your word and elect not to pardon your son? 

It’s really the final straw. The Afghanistan debacle crippled the world’s respect for America’s authority and honor. Joe Biden pardoning his own son hurts America’s respect for the justice system and our respect for authority.

They want to call Trump a dictator and a tyrant. Well tell me, what does a tyrant do if not give his loved ones a pass for breaking the law? 

I’ve seen people come out in defense of Biden. Some have said he’s not the first to pardon a family member. My father argued that one of the reasons he didn’t vote for Trump in this 2024 election was because Trump was a “convicted felon.”

I argued that the Dems and Biden’s administration worked hard to give Trump that label. I told my father that they used the justice system as a weapon against a political opponent and he told me that it didn’t matter because the fact is, Trump’s a convicted felon. 

So, all of the sudden we’re a stickler for facts now? Before the election, Joe Biden was asked time and time again if he would pardon his own son and Biden said no. That’s a fact. He didn’t honor his word. That’s a fact. And yet, he’s supposed to be the leader of our nation. 

If Joe Biden had said “yes” to those questions before the election, I wonder what people would say then. Would they have voted for him?

My point is…Joe Biden and his administration will go down as one of the worst presidencies in US History because they stand for nothing. The moment they lost the election they dropped the charades and showed their true colors, that they don’t care about your rights and liberties or all these agendas they’ve been pushing.

All they care about is your vote. The leftist trans agenda was to get the vote of the ones who are slaves to their feelings. The promises of student loan cancellations was to get their vote. Harris promised to legalize marijuana in attempt to get the black man’s vote. Abortion rights and acting like Repubs want to control women, is to get the women’s vote. 

You think Dems care about women? You know good and damn well they don’t. If they did, they’d be against trans competing against women in sports, or using women’s locker rooms, scarring little girls for life, girls who will one day grow up to be…you guessed it…WOMEN! 

Biden opening the doors to immigrants was all to get their vote, no different from what Tammany Hall did in the 1800s, putting Irish immigrants in squalid tenements and promising to take care of them just to get their vote. 

And for what? It’s that 8th grade question of, “why do you want to be the President of the United States?” 

Other than the money he got in backing Ukraine, which was clearly a conflict of interests from the get-go…I really don’t see anything Biden’s done that warrants an honorable answer to that question. 

Leading me to believe that it was less about what he wanted to do and more about what others wanted him to do, like the party itself and unscrupulous donors who…to be honest, I suspect those donors want to establish an oligarchy. It’s not far-fetched from my book, “The Perennial War of Paramours”.  

Alright…I think I’ll leave it there. 

P.S. I just heard he pledged $1 billion in aid to Africa…put that in your pipe and smoke it.
