President Biden's poll numbers are cratering. Why now? The porous border, the erosion of civil liberties, inflation, the imperious attitude toward Americans in general did not affect his approval ratings. Did the lies about Afghanistan get so big they broke through the rose colored glasses of his supporters?
The newest report cards are out on the Biden Administration. They show that in the 2024 election Mr. Biden would lose to Mr. Trump. Does this surprise you? What has caused the great fall from grace?
The Pentagon says we killed two high profile terrorists in a drone attack overnight in retribution for the Kabul airport bombing. But they won't tell us who they are. Why? Is it because they are not high profile after all or is it because they were released from the prison at the Air force base when the U.S. abandon it to the Taliban?
The U.S. has struck back at the terrorists in Afghanistan with a drone strike killing two and injuring one. Is it enough to intimidate ISIS after the Kabul airport bombing? Is it enough to rehabilitate President Biden's credibility?
The once friendly mainstream media is confronting President Biden over his nonsensical responses to the mess in Afghanistan. The Pentagon is openly contradicting him. World leaders can barely hide their frustration with the situation. Has President Biden pulled the pin on a grenade that will blow up his administration and maybe even his party?
The Pentagon states Al Qaeda is till in Afghanistan an hour after the President says it's not. Videos of Americans unable to get past Taliban check points abound on social media while the President claims he knows of no such incidents. World leaders are shaking their heads in frustration over the clusterbleep that is the withdrawal while the President denies the U.S. is now suffering from a lack of creditability on the world stage. Does President Biden live in an alternate universe?
The Taliban is just days away from taking our embassy in Kabul. Our economy is inflation plagued. No one believes the CDC has a handle on the Covid variants. Our Homeland Security Secretary thinks our southern border condition is unsustainable. Just how big a disaster is the Biden Administration?
Inflation is rising, Afghanistan is being overrun by the Taliban, Americans don't trust the Covid vaccine or the CDC, the Secretary of Homeland Security is caught telling the border patrol that our southern border cant be sustained and the President's son is revealed on a video with a hooker talking about how he can be blackmailed by the Russians. This all in just one week. Will the President be able to finish his term in office?
To hear the Biden Administration and the Democrat leadership tell it, the unvaccinated are causing the pandemic - and by unvaccinated they mean Republicans. Is the vilification of the unvaccinated really about public safety or is it about the next election?
Have you noticed how the Biden Administration is ratcheting up the Covid blame game? First we gin up fear of the Coronavirus variants, then we blame the unvaccinated, and finally we make the unvaxed synonymous with Republicans. Is the demonizing of those who refuse the jab actually more about the next election than it is about public safety?
Mixed messages are all the Biden Administration seems to give regarding Covid. The biggest example is the demonization of unvaccinated Americans while illegal immigrants crossing the Southern border are not mandated to take the jab. Why is this if the virus is so deadly?
Both President Biden and House Speaker Pelosi are scapegoating Republicans for the slowing vaccination rates. Could the real reason be the conflicting statements from the President, his staff and the CDC have eroded trust in both the Administration and the vaccines?
Are you watching the Tokyo Olympics? Do they feel different to you and not just because of Covid? Is it just the pandemic or is Olympic Spirit being dampened by the woke distain for patriotism?
Have you been watching the Tokyo Olympics 2020 otherwise know as the Hunger Games? With Covid infections rising in the city and the Olympic Village, was it a mistake for the games to go forward? Has it become a superspreader event much like the Texas Democrat road trip to D.C.?
The Biden Administration is openly admitting they are taking part in the censorship of social media posts they don't like' They say it is a matter of public safety. Is this a good enough reason to violate the First Amendment?
The First Amendment is under assault. First it was the banning of any hint of irregularities during the 2020 election, now its Covid vaccine disinformation. Ben Franklin said those who give up liberty for safety deserve neither. Which do you choose?
Are we heading to a caste system in the United States with the unvaccinated as the untouchables? Will vaccine passports be necessary to work, travel, get a home, or even to vote? Is this what our future looks like?
Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra says the government has the right to your personal medical information, namely whether or not you have been vaccinated, because they paid trillions to keep Americans alive during the pandemic. Is he right? Or is he a patronizing, arrogant hack who let slip what the Biden Administration really thinks of the American people?
Crime is surging - or is it? In the wake of political backlash on police defunding as violent crime statistics spike, some democrats are claiming the rise in crime is just a figment of our imagination or in the words of NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes, hysteria. Are those gas lighting the public over crime increases more concerned with power than public safety?
Who is to blame for the spike in crime plaguing the U.S. A new ABC/Washington Post poll says more Americans than not think President Biden's response to escalating crime is disastrous. Do you agree? Republicans say it is defunding police and failure to prosecute causing the crime spike. Democrats say its lack of gun control, white supremacy and a dearth of summer jobs. Who do you think has it right?
Vice-President Harris, representing the Biden Administration, says they are making progress on the border crisis. Yet illegal crossings are increasing every month. Was the Vice=President's trip to El Paso just a red herring to trick Americans into thinking that they care about stopping illegal immigration?
The Vice-President, the point person for the Biden Border Crisis, has finally made it to the border. She stayed a total of 4.5 hours in Texas, and touched down a mere 800 miles from where the illegal immigrant problem has become critical near the Rio Grande. Is Kamala Harris really serious about her job as border czar?
Is Juneteenth National Independence Day a divisive name setting up competing national independence days? Can we name Juneteenth Freedom Day or Emancipation Day instead? Is this name a deliberate attempt to bifurcate the country by race?
Are you happy about the newest and twelfth national holiday on the books, Juneteenth National Independence Day? Have you done anything to observe it? Did you get the day off? Is this a good idea?
Former President Obama says he does not understand why Republicans are so concerned about CRT. Is he being naïve or is he trying to down play the effect of Critical Race Theory? Is CRT actually damaging race relations in this country?
Unvaccinated students attending their prom in Exeter, NH were numbered on their hands with sharpies and told to raise their hands every few songs so their dancing partners could be recorded. Does this remind you of anything? Should the unvaccinated be segregated and publicly outed?
Dr Fauci has been outed by his own e-mails which point to the truth about about mask hysteria, the truth about the origins of covid, and the truth about who was funding the Wuhan lab where Covid was being studied. The Biden Administration say they would never fire Dr. Fauci. Would you?
Dr. Anthony Fauci, considered by the Biden Administration to be the country's savior in regard to fighting Covid-19, is under fire after the Washington Post and Buzzfeed published a batch of e-mails they received under a FOIA request which contradict public statements made by the doctor regarding masks and the origin of the virus. What did Dr. Fauci know and when did he know it?
Defunding police, DAs who don't prosecute so called low level crimes, are just some of the reasons crime has risen since the beginning of the year. What are we going to do about it?
73% of Americans think crime rates have risen under President Biden according to a new poll by Fox News. Are you one of them? What's behind the increase? Could it be the defund the police movement, the policy of not prosecuting low level crimes, the demonization of law enforcement or all of the above?
The Public School administrators in Wellesley Massachusetts held an event to help Asian students deal with the recent spate of violence against Asians. It was looked upon as a great idea until they decided to openly exclude white students from participating. Can somebody please explain the meaning of the word discrimination to these woke school officials?
No one doubts that racism is a real problem that has not yet been obliterated in our country. It appears that in her zeal to call attention to the problem and the lack of diversity in the Chicago City Hall press corps, Mayor Lori Lightfoot promoted racism herself by excluding white reporters from her list of one-on-one interviews in honor of her anniversary in office. Can racism really be used to combat racism?
Three University of Massachusetts students were expelled for not wearing masks at an off campus function even though other unmasked students received either far less draconian or no consequences at all. They were evicted from campus housing on 9 hours notice despite a pandemic moratorium against such actions and left to fend for themselves far from home with no financial reimbursement from the school or way to support themselves. Are you outraged?
The big news this week from the CDC was the lifting of the mask requirement for those who have been vaccinated. The President then took that pronouncement a step further and says get vaxed or wear a mask. Does this sound like an ultimatum?
You can now go maskless outside if you are vaccinated but do you? Have masks been so politicized by the far left that people are afraid to take them off for fear it marks them as conservatives and therefore easy targets?
The outdoor mask mandate has been lifted by the CDC if you are vaccinated and approved by President Biden yet many people refuse to forsake their face coverings. Do you still wear your mask outside? Are you suffering from Lockdown withdrawal?
The un-vaccinated need not apply....Is that the sign we will soon see on job postings in the U.S.? Will you get vaccinated to keep your job? Would you get the jab if the FDA issued full approval for the Covid vaccines instead of the Emergency Use categorization currently applied?
The question of whether employers can require their staff to be vaccinated is getting bigger and bigger as the Biden Administration starts pulling out all the stops to overcome vaccination hesitancy, The Massachusetts Attorney General wants all public employees to get vaccinated. Have you been vaccinated? If not, will you to keep your job?
Our kids have lost a year of their childhood to isolation with no in class learning, no sports and limited playtime. Given that children are half as likely to become infected with Covid as adults, isn't it time to let them toss their masks and be kids again?
Is it time to trust in the Covid vaccinations and whatever herd immunity we have built up and stop wearing masks - at least outdoors? A number of states have listed mask mandates. Shouldn't the Biden Administration follow suit and stop sending mixed messages about the efficacy of the vaccinations?
Our government tells us we are racists, our schools are racist, our sports are racist, and our laws are racist. In fact we are told we are so racist that we can't even recognize that we are racists. What is the end game here?
The woke hydra is running out of victims on the right hand side of the aisle and has started to devour those once though of as allies. Are you safe from the racism police?
President Biden made a number of misstatements while revealing his gun control executive orders this week. Was it ignorance that caused these falsehoods or was he deliberately misrepresenting both laws and circumstances.
The President announced six executive orders this week tightening up our gun laws. Is unilateral gun control action, completely by-passing congress, the right way to change our firearm regulations?
A massive lie leads to the MLB boycotting an entire state. Is the marshalling of progressive forces against Georgia really about bringing water to people waiting to vote, or is it about trying to justify the abrogation of state's rights and the federalization of elections?
Major League Baseball has pulled it's all star game out of Atlanta, Georgia because of a giant fib told by President Biden and repeated by the mainstream media and the mocking jays on Facebook, Twitter and the like.
Was President Biden's first press conference a rousing success or did it set off alarm bells that something is not quite right? The President sees himself as a two term office holder. Do you see the same thing?
How would you describe President Biden's first press conference? Scary? Alarming? Great? Passable? Does the fact he used a briefing book and seemed to lose focus a number of times cause you any concern?
The Biden Administration, for all it's hype about national unity and returning America's dignity on the world stage seems to be stumbling. Is it ineptness or deliberate? Is the country better off than it was a year ago or worse?
President Biden stumbled on his way up the stairs of Air Force One. The President was unhurt but was his misstep a metaphor for what his administration is doing on both the foreign and domestic stages?
During his national Covid address, President Biden warned that Americans could not have a 4th of July barbecue unless the government says so, we better get vaccinated or there will be another lockdown, and even after vaccination his administration will give us a list of what we can and cannot do. Did President Biden's speech fill you with hope or foreboding?
