LOS ANGELES.–President Joe Biden, 81, gropes with the Democrat Party to come up with any narrative to discredit 77-year-old former President Donald Trump, saying he “embraces political violence.” Biden doesn’t really know what he’s saying in scripted remarks, only parroting his advisers, groping the dark to repeat the masterful job in 2020 to beat Trump. But 2024 is a different ball of wax, with the frightening Covid-19 crisis and George Floyd’s death well in the rearview mirror. Covid-19 and George Floyd gave Biden a wind at his back in 2020 to get rid of Trump. Watching Biden fumble-and-stumble through his first three years has left large swaths of Democrat and independent voters wary to giving the octogenarian four more years. Biden doesn’t listen to polls showing 75% of voters concerned about his age and, more importantly, fitness for four more years.
Speaking at a Bethesda, Maryland fundraiser, Biden tired out some new defamatory talking points. “He’s threatened to use the U.S. military on the streets of America,” Biden told Democrat donors. “Once again, he embraces political violence instead of rejecting it. We can’t let this happen,” Biden said, in a hodgepodge of anti-Trump talking points. Biden refers to Trump saying that U.S. troops were needed to stop the widespread race riots in 2020, burning down cities and vandalizing government property. When anarchists grabbled blocks of territory in Seattle and Portland, Trump suggested using National Guard troops to restore order. When it comes the Mexican border, Trump also urged more forceful steps to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs coming across the Mexican border. Only Black Lives Matter and other radical rights groups endorse this narrative.
So, when Biden and Democrats experiment with anti-Trump talking points, they’re now flailing in the dark trying find any plausible narrative. In 2020, the Covid-19 panic causes voters to turn on Trump, no knowing that a week after the Nov. 3 election Pfizer announced its first MRNA Covid vaccine. Biden and his VP Kamala Harris said that Trump lied about producing a timely vaccine. Both said they wouldn’t trust a vaccine developed under Trump’s watch. Then, when Pfizer released the vaccine Nov. 10, 2020, they say hallelujah. Things are different in 2024 watching what happened over the last three years under Biden. Watching the U.S. go to war against the Russian Federation, push toward war with China, watch inflation wreck the economy have all soured voters on Biden. Whatever Wall Street has done lately, it could all go poof if the markets sells off.
Biden and Democrats rode high yesterday with Colorado’s Supreme Court removing Trump from the 2024 ballot under Section 3 of the 1868 14th Amendment, insisting that participating in insurrection disqualifies him from public office. Most legal experts think the Colorado High Court ruling will be overturned in short order once the U.S. Supreme Court takes a look. Not only does Section 3 of the 14th Amendment not apply, Trump has not been convicted of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, as Democrats like to call it. Colorado’s Supreme Court knows that Trump was acquitted in the U.S. Senate Feb. 13, 2021 for the impeachment charge of “incitement of insurrection.” Colorado’s Supreme Court knows they’ve deprived Trump of any due process, knowing there’s no court yet that has convicted Trump of “incitement of insurrection.”
Biden dismissed all the polls showing that he’s running behind or tied with Trump in the 2024 presidential election. “Doesn’t mean a lot right now, in my opinion,” Biden said of the recent polls, but, more importantly, his 40% average approval ratings, making him vulnerable in general election. Biden thinks because he beat Trump in 2020, he can do it again in 2024. “Trump was embracing his old pal Vladimir Putin. Trump even quoted him this weekend. It’s no surprise—after all, there’s a lot of agreement between Moscow and Mar-a-Lago,” Biden said. While looking clever, Biden doesn’t know what he’s saying. Biden is the one in a personal vendetta with Putin, funding the Ukraine proxy war against the Kremlin, ending decades of diplomacy, détente and arms control. Unlike himself, Biden admits that Trump gets along with Putin and Xi Jinping.
Biden wants to blame Trump for having pragmatic relations with Putin and the Kremlin. How does that stack up with Biden funding a proxy war using Ukrainian troops to battle the Russian Federation? New reports about Biden’s recent talks with China in San Francisco indicate that Chinese President Xi Jinping told Biden he would reunify China with Taiwan. Biden warned China than any attempt to take over Taiwan would be met with U.S. troops to defend Taiwan. So, if Biden gets four more years, all bets are off when it comes to the U.S. going to war with Communist China. “The greatest threat Trump poses is the threat to our democracy,” Biden said. “Because if we lose, we lose everything,” testing the 2024 Democrat campaign narrative. When it comes to threats to democracy, going to war with the Kremlin and next Communist China would end life as we know it.
