"Freedom is lost gradually from uninterested, uninformed, and uninvolved people." — Thomas Jefferson
There is nothing good about life under Biden, no matter how loudly he yells at us.
To protect freedom, an awakened populous must relentlessly expose lies. Where honesty fades, democracy demands moments of unwavering scrutiny and ongoing bold actions.
President Joe Biden’s reactionary State of the Union speech brings one of these moments.
In a climate where truth is overshadowed by political leaders' complex rhetoric, Biden's "Theater of Deception" SOTU starkly revealed the gap between his administration's lofty promises and America’s grim deterioration.
Biden’s “patriotic progressivism” methodically eroded fundamental pillars of American strength, sovereignty and prosperity through broken promises and ill-advised, ideologically warped policies. Mr. Biden demands you embrace his decline without question or else.
Now is not the time to chant “four more years.” Biden’s weaponized DOJ and lawfare seek to destroy his opponent in broad daylight.
Meanwhile, Biden and his son could be implicated in red-handed corruption. The left doesn’t care. They just seek to win.
Domestically, America’s economy is an inflationary wreck. America is besieged by crime, a homeless crisis, over 100,000 annual fentanyl deaths, open borders and government attacks on family values.
Biden's 2024 SOTU offered tired broken promises and irrational shouting. His hyper-partisan rantings left many Americans feeling violated and betrayed. The more he demanded his brand of patriotism, the more disturbing truths remained.
The unsettling, predatory discord we felt during Biden’s SOTU was intentionally inflicted. The harsh reality Biden left us is supported by troves of clear, hard documents undercutting his screaming.
Biden’s narratives are contradicted by his economic mismanagement. Sixty percent of Americans perceive economic decline under Biden.
Inflation surged to its highest level in over 40 years. Consumer prices are up 17.1% overall. Gasoline prices have risen by 50.3%. Rising prices outpace average weekly earnings. Real weekly earnings fell by around 4%.
Food prices have surged by 21% in three years, a stark increase from the 17%-18% growth over the previous 11 years. “Shrinkflation” worsened matters with a 10% rise in unit prices for consumer goods due to reduced packaging sizes. Wages cannot keep up.
Americans hold a dangerous new record high $1.13 trillion credit card debt, a 4.6% jump from the previous quarter. Public debt has increased by 22.5%. Our annual deficit has reached $1.7 trillion.
The trade deficit for goods and services has increased by 24.6% to $779.8 billion. Biden's claims of 15 million new jobs egregiously omitted the context of pandemic recovery.
Biden’s own 2023 forward budget offers a nightmare. His $73 trillion in proposed spending is a record high 23.4% of GDP. Taxes will hit a record $58 trillion, 18.8% of GDP.
Deficits will soon balloon to $14.4 trillion, 4.7% of GDP. Trump’s achievement of true American energy independence will fall victim to Biden’s war on oil and coal.
Biden’s foreign policy blunders foment global instability. In one catastrophic move, he decimated decades of international trust. He armed global terrorists to the teeth with our own weapons. He birthed the Afghanistan Syndrome malady.
He continuously harms Israel by irrationally pushing a two-state solution. Biden’s foreign policy is steeped in delusion, betrayals of American interests and our allies and compromised global standing.
Biden has decimated border security and caused immigration chaos: The Southern border has descended into unprecedented turmoil. The massive illegal immigrant influx prioritizes leftist political ideology over national security and public safety.
Approximately 10 million illegal immigrants have broken into America, with 1.2 million flown covertly across states. Illegal immigrants now compose about an unsustainable 4.5% of our population.
The Biden administration lost track of 85,000 migrant children, exposing them to sexual and human trafficking.
“Biden’s strategy is very simple: 1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible. 2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority — a one-party state. Simple, yet effective,” — Elon Musk
Musk clearly understands that border mismanagement is Biden’s deliberate attempt to reshape America’s electorate.
Biden has also waged war on families, the bedrock of American freedom. Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies have undermined the very fabric of national unity and communal harmony.
American children are exposed to fentanyl overdoses and child predators. Public schools are turning children into young comrades for enlistment in a long march against the very country of their birth.
Emotional manipulation and good speechwriting aside, Biden’s true state of our union is disillusionment, disparity, and division.
His raging SOTU lacked substantive solutions. His administration is more invested in using illusions to maintain power and wealth than in confronting stark realities of our national distress.
Americans deserve leadership that transcends rhetoric and delves into tangible, meaningful action. Integrity, accountability and genuine concern for our citizens’ welfare must return. America must defeat cultural Marxist ideological plutocracy and elitist corruption.
Armed with past lessons, we must transcend present disillusionment and force our path back to a prosperous, united future. We must wrest our country from intentional, negligent and strategic decline and make America great again.
We can do this. God is still at America’s back. He acts through his better people.
Stay with truth and America. Elect Trump. He remains the imperfect man who remains the best and highest hope for all.
