Who's Running the Show



       Whether you believe that Joe Biden was actually elected or not, on January 20, 2021, he was inaugurated as President of the United States.  He is supposed to be responsible for running the country, but as we all know, at this stage of his life, Joe isn't capable of running "you know the thing"...a kid's lemonade stand.  Joe's candidacy, campaign, and election were determine by a very small group of people, who in return for making him President, Joe lets them run the country.

      The nomination of a  Democrat candidate for POTUS began with a huge number of wannabes.  Initially there were more than 20 and two separate debates were necessary to give each a chance to speak. Over the early course of the campaign, one candidate after another garnered huge favor with the MSM (the favor flavor of the week, so to speak), and then when they didn't catch fire, crashed and burned just as fast.  By the time the primaries began, only a few remained to fight it out. Bernie Sanders seemed the most successful after the first three primaries with Biden tucked in just ahead of Mayor Pete.  The other candilates still on the ballot really didn't matter.  The one thing the Democrat Party didn't want was Bernie Sanders as their standard bearer.  They proved that in 2016, when they cheated Bernie out the nomination in favor of the self chosen one, Hillary Clinton.  You see, Bernie is not really a Democrat, he is an independent senator from Vermont, who only caucuses with the Democrats.  Bernie would be an independent as well, if he were elected POTUS and have an agenda that in some cases would not coincide with what the Democrats would want and he would have his own people nominated or appointed for various positions within the administrative branch of the government. This would not coincide with how the Democrats want the country too be run.  They need their people in place, especially as unelected bureaucrats, the real swamp in Washington, DC.

      The person who had the most to lose if Sanders was elected POTUS was Barack Obama.  Trump had all but gutted Obama's legacy, with the only significant thing remaining was that part of Obamacare that the Republicans failed to have anything with which to replace it.  There is no clear reason why Sanders, if elected, would even try to restore the Obama legacy, but instead initiate one of his own, leaving the Obama legacy to stay withered and dead. On the other hand, Biden was a very small part of the Obama legacy, maybe in name only as VP, but maybe, just maybe he would listen to reason, if Barack and crew would make him the nominee and POTUS. Joe was in no position to disagree and trusted those who would make him President, after all he wanted to be POTUS, but all of his attempts fell way short of success and only served as a means to make money.  His last run in 2008 netted $2 million in consulting fees for his wife Jill for a campaign that lasted less than 2 months. Play for pay Joe was in no position to not allow Obama to run his campaign and presidency if elected.  They could always support another Democrat.  Joe's political career of half a century had a chance of finally accomplishing something other than making himself and his family wealthy.

      The South Carolina primary was on the horizon, just before Super Tuesday, and Obama's crew stepped in. James Clyburn, long time Democrat  congressman from South Carolina's 6th congressional district, and only African-American to hold a major office in South Caroline, needed no convincing to support Biden, especially when he owed Obama a huge favor.  When Obama was President, he appointed Clyburns's daughter Mignon to the five member FCC governing committee, that she even headed for a time.  If Obama wanted Biden to be the nominee, despite Joe's very spotty civil rights record, so be it.  The rest is history.  Biden came out of the pack propelled by his huge win in South Carolina and won the nomination. He still had to win the presidential election and the pandemic made that possible.

      Even Obama was aware of Biden's tendency to misspeak and commit so called gaffes, but these had become much more frequent and combined with periods of losing his train of thought while speaking was obvious that he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease.  The pandemic made it possible to seriously limit Biden's appearances, speeches, and interactions with the press, especially those who would ask difficult questions.  Tucking him away in his Delaware estate's basement, limiting his public speaking to reading short scripted pieces and rare short appearances, in which he took few if any questions was a perfect strategy.  Meanwhile, Trump was out campaigning all over the country bringing out huge crowds.  The media would use this against him, calling his events "super spreaders," meanwhile serving as a propaganda machine for Biden and the Democrat Party. The pandemic also allowed the Democrats to push through increased mail-in ballots in key states, rigged voting machines, and registration more difficult to manage.  Mail-ins are the easiest to use for cheating purposes. 

      Once the vote was in, Obama and his crew swung into action. This situation was now perfect for Obama.  Biden would restore as much of Obama's failed legacy with executive orders immediately and then go on to add those policies that would hurt America.  Policies that at the time of Obama's reign were not possible due to them being more radical than even many Democrats would support, much less the American people. Now he had the best of both worlds.  He would have his legacy restored and his agenda renewed by Biden, who would then have to accept responsibility for everything that went wrong, protecting Obama from criticism.  In addition Biden would use the Obama strategy of blaming his predecessor for everything that went wrong, but take credit for every thing that was even moderately successful, even if he didn't have anything to do with it, like the vaccine roll out from "warp speed." Using diversity and equity as an excuse, Biden appointed the most radical and incompetent cabinet ever.  Using diversity and equity as the primary goals can only bring mediocrity at best aa many of his appointments and nominees have already demonstrated.






      (Before I go any further, I would like to briefly explain why Obama is no friend of America and has no allegiance to the American way of life.  No doubt Obama was born in America of an American mother and foreign father.  Despite essentially being abandoned by his father at birth, Obama had enough love and respect for him that he titled the so called autobiography he wrote with Bill Ayers Dreams From My Father.  What dreams could Obama get from his father, who was a terrible person?  Senior had been married 4 times, produced 8 children, none of which he supported and none have ever had any significant relationship with their half brother.  He was a wife beater and alcoholic, who once killed a woman drunk driving, lost his legs in the same incident and later was killed himself in another drunk driving accident.  Obama was none of those things, so what were his dreams?  Senior was a socialist/communist.  Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first president, wanted to establish Kenya as a country based on a capitalist economy, using Kenya's rich resources to make his country successful attracting companies to create jobs and generate wealth.  He thought that senior, being educated in America, would become a valuable part of his government, but was disappointed with his socialism/communism political leanings.  This, in fact, was Obama's dream for America. Junior had been raised by his white grandparents, educated at the best schools in Indonesia and Hawaii and mentored by Frank Davis, an admitted Communist Party member, an African-American, and friend of his grandfather.  Obamas friends growing up were mostly white, Hawaiian, or mixed races.  He had few if any African-American friends and even at Occidental his best friend was from Pakistan as were his roommates at Columbia. It wasn't until he got to Chicago, thanks to Davis's advice and recommendation that he met a socialized with other African-Americans and even those were socialists and communists like Alice Palmer, his initial political mentor.)

      Obama's plan for America was very radical, but he and his advisors realized that radical policies at that time were out of the question and might alienate him within his own party.  Healthcare, or a plan that looked like healthcare would be easier to pass.  The Affordable Care Act was a real shame.  It essentially abandoned the middle class, by making costs and deductibles so high, that most could only afford a plan that was for catastrophic illness only. There were about as many who benefitted from the plan as those that were hurt.  In addition, allowing adult children stay on their parent's plan until age 26 meant that unemployment for recent college grads would not be as much of an issue that could be used in the 2012 election. Besides the high cost, the mandate that was the most egregious part of the plan, and the easiest to end.  Foolishly the Republicans, though complaining for years, could never give Trump a plan of their own. Obama did other destructive things, but few had to be voted on by Congress. He joined the Paris Accord a destructive policy aimed at America and capitalism.  He negotiated (really a poor word choice, rather caved in) with Iran that did very little for America and endangered all of our friends in the Middle East and Europe, including Israel who he hated. He made nice with Cuba and got zero in return.  It seemed that America's enemies did better than our friends.  

      (In 2020,  the Democrat Party was at a crossroads.  Radicals funded by George Soros and other wealthy America haters were threatening the positions of elected politicians in their safe districts.  Money counts for a lot in politics and young radical politicians were defeating incumbent Democrats in many Democrat districts in the primaries.  Unless they moved further and in some cases much further to the left, they wouldn't be reelected and as we all know the primary job of most politicians is to get reelected. The Democrat Party had jettisoned most of its moderates moving further and further to the left.  Only Joe still tried to use his former moderate credentials, after all he was the nominees and needed independents and Republicans who were never Trumpers.)

      In order to control Biden and create a liaison between himself and Biden, Obama had his most loyal follower accept an appointment to a  position that would not require a congressional approval and  a very embarrassing Senate Q&A hearing.  That would be Susan Rice, who Netflix  put on their BOD as a favor to Obama.  Remember Clyburn's daughter Mignon, she took  Netflix's position on Net Neutrality while serving on the FCC. Susan needed a high paying job and Obama and Netflix provided one, despite her having no knowledge of the entertainment industry.  Lying to and spying on the public doesn't count.  She is now the head of the Domestic Policy Council, despite her background in foreign not domestic affairs.  

      One of Obama's favorite professors at Columbia was Richard Cloward of the Coward-Piven Theory. The theory claims that the value of the American dollar can be reduced to nothing using welfare.  The more people on welfare, the more the government has to payout until the dollar is essentially valueless and we need to then replace capitalism with a socialist system.  That won't work here in America, so Obama, when he was President, tried infrastructure and wasted almost a trillion dollars on his worthless stimulus program that only stimulated the pockets of his supporters. Now he would like to try it again, by calling everything and anything infrastructure from daycare to taxpayer funded abortions and this time instead of wasting a trillion dollars, it is more like six trillion. The other plan to break the bank is with illegal aliens. By opening the border, Biden and Obama have created another way to waste huge sums of taxpayer dollars.  These people need to be housed, clothed, fed, educated, and medical needs provided.  The criminal elements and those suffering from a variety of aliments would use up even more money. Even adding to the bureaucracy to deal with these hordes will add to the cost. Raising taxes to pay for these two projects will produce massive inflation and the Carterfication (new word) of our economy.   The Green New Deal, stopping construction of the partially completed Keystone Pipeline here in America, as well as reducing American energy production will inflate the cost of electricity and not only make America dependent on foreign energy sources again, especially those from China for solar panels, but also eliminate a source of income as during the Trump administration, America was able to export natural gas and oil .(Many have wondered why Biden nixed the Keystone Pipeline, but removed sanctions on Russia to allow them to complete the Nord Stream Pipeline.  The answer is simple, recall that Yelena Baterina, the widow of a Russian oligarch and a billionaire business woman, seemingly gave Hunter Biden 3.5 million dollars for what then seemed like nothing, She is one of the wealthiest women in Russia and one of her many businesses does engineering and construction and is part of the Nord Stream Pipeline project with Germany.  Pay for play Joey and Hunter are at it again.

     Obama often boasts that if he were allowed to run again, he would win. Recently a Republican governor seemed to misspeak when he called the President Obiden. May he was right after all.
