Patriot,
When all else fails, what's the last resort
of authoritarians?
Unfortunately, it's war, which is where this
country could be headed if Joe Biden and the
Democrat-controlled-Congress continue to double-down on their
failed policies.
How Biden is handling domestic policy is
universally unpopular and trending downward quickly.
The only bills Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) House
and Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) Senate are able to pass are big
spending packages, which Americans across the spectrum are
starting to recognize are the big culprit behind inflation.
War is often the "perfect" opportunity for a
president to get support from more people as the country is
supposed to pull together, and war is a chance to distract from
other issues.
We could be staring at a worst-case scenario
of the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act creating
compulsory military service for young women right when the
political class is looking to start the next wars.
When you add that to the possibility that
tens-of-thousands of men and women currently in the armed forces
are expelled for not submitting to Joe Biden's COVID vaccination
mandate, this might be a perfect storm.
Let's hope cooler heads prevail.
I hope you are enjoying time with friends and
family and not listening to Dr. Fauci's demands that you separate
yourself from them based on vaccination status.
My column this week focuses on Joe Biden's
horrific performance thus far as president and the dangers that
lie ahead in 2022 leading up to the midterm elections.

Biden's Numbers Tank . . . as US Rattles Sabers At Russia
President Biden's approval numbers are
dropping like lead. According to a Quinnipiac University poll
released last week, only 36 percent of Americans approve of
Biden's performance as president. From Covid, to the economy, to
foreign policy, Biden's numbers are in the tank. Three out of
four Americans are dissatisfied with the way things are going in
the country today.
Inflation is sky high, gasoline prices are
higher than they've been since Obama was president, and the store
shelves are empty just in time for Christmas. And the president's
illegal and immoral vaccine mandate may result in millions
leaving their jobs rather than accept the experimental covid
shots. That should do wonders for the "supply chain" problems in
the US.
Biden's ability to drag the economy back from
the brink is very limited and the Democrat brand is looking more
and more like poison as the US moves into mid-term election
season.
That can be dangerous.
When presidents make war they find that
political opposition dries up and the media rolls over in
gratitude. Is Biden eyeing foreign action to bolster his sagging
support back home?
Traditionally, progressives have been wary of
aggressive US foreign policy, but four years of phony
"Russiagate" lies has left a good deal of the political Left
enamored with the CIA, FBI, and warmongering "woke" military
officers like Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley. Many of them
will likely cheer a military conflict.
When it comes to foreign policy, the Biden
White House continues some of the worst policies of the previous
Administration. The US continues to sail warships through the
South China Sea and when such saber rattling provokes Chinese
concern the Chinese are condemned as the aggressors.
Similarly, the US just sent warships into
Russia's backyard in the Black Sea to perform military maneuvers.
Imagine Russian wargames off the Texas coast in the Gulf of
Mexico! And then the US Administration attacked Russia for
"massing troops"… inside Russia!
The US media is, as usual, complicit in
propagandizing the US population. Thus, Russia is said to be
"massing troops near Ukraine" without the explanation that "near
Ukraine" is actually within Russia. So Russia is threatening war
by holding military exercises within its own borders, but the US
is entirely peaceful when it sends warships thousands of miles
away up to the Russian border.
On Friday the Russian military intercepted US
warplanes reportedly just 12.5 miles from the Russian border. The
US and NATO continue to deliver lethal weapons to the government
in Kiev, which only embolden Ukrainian President Zelensky to
ratchet up the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
The US foreign policy and military
establishment exist in an echo chamber. They believe their
rhetoric that the rest of the world is eagerly awaiting its
orders from Washington and that the US has the moral right - and
the ability - to tell the rest of the world what to do. This sets
the stage for a potentially catastrophic miscalculation in the US
Administration. Already Russian President Putin complained last
week that the US takes its "red lines" too lightly, no doubt
referring to Ukraine.
Biden may be calculating that he needs a nice
little war to boost back his numbers and rally Americans to his
support. Like most everything else in this first year of the
Biden Administration, it would be a terrible mistake.
