So it seems Joe Biden will be sworn in as President, a man who now scarcely knows who or where he is, but throughout his long tenure in Washington distinguished himself by being wrong on nearly every issue or policy he encountered. There are two possible explanations I have deduced for the Biden calamity we will face: First, the election was so fraught with rigged voting procedures and rigged machines that the outcome will go down in history (at least if there is ever an honest version of history, which at this point seems doubtful) as having outdone the 1960 Presidential election which was stolen by Democrats from Richard Nixon in favor of John Kennedy. This explanation is disturbing and has terrible implications for our Country, but has not been given a forum in the courts and the media is disinterested in reporting or investigating the facts, so the truth will have to surface through other avenues.

The second explanation for Biden's election is even worse for the fate of our Country than the voter fraud explanation. The worst possible explanation from the standpoint of our Country is that after 50 years of mis-education through our schools and universities; mis-information fed to us by the media, and anti-American propaganda pumped into our homes by Hollywood liberals and their confederates in the TV and sports and entertainment industries on a daily basis, a majority of people in the Country did in fact willingly vote for a man whose view of America is almost entirely negative, but who holds a favorable view and has long-standing ties with the Chinese communist party and other foreign entities.

Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris have made no secret of their socialist preferences and have shown no signs of embracing fundamental American ideals of individual liberty, responsibility and freedom as expressed in the Declaration of Independence. We are soon to be under the thumb of those who reject the rights guaranteed to each individual citizen under the Constitution, including the freedom of assembly, the freedom of speech and religion, the freedom of the press, and the right to keep and bear arms- all are under assault by the Left, and we will soon see the truth of the old adage that absolute power corrupts absolutely. With control of the White House and both houses of Congress, there is little to stop the Democrats from carrying out their threats to "fundamentally transform" America. Already they have voiced their plans to pack the Supreme Court, pack the Senate by admitting new and reliably Democrat senators, dismantle our border security, further weaken election safeguards and raise taxes on fiscally responsible states to bail out states that have made a mess of their finances by engaging in decades of liberal Democrat policies.

Under the guise of public health, already the Democrats dictate when we may attend church or synagogue, where we can travel, how and when we can operate our businesses, whether we can gather with our own families in our own homes for holidays and when and if we can assemble to voice our political views. The Left now dictates what ideas may be expressed through speech on college campuses, and labels anything that disagrees with their political views as "hate speech". Once labelled as "hate" all manner of oppression is considered acceptable. Wearing a MAGA hat or tee shirt makes one a racist, a student staffing a conservative information booth on a campus can be assaulted without consequence, guest speakers who offer a view different from the Leftist dogma are physically threatened and barred from speaking. The media, once considered the watchdog to help ensure against political corruption and overreach, is nothing more than a propaganda tool for the Left. Twitter, Facebook and Google, as private companies are free from any constitutional constraints, and blatantly suppress speech or news stories that does not comport with their Leftist views. If these forces can ban speech by the President of the United States, they can ban speech by anyone. We are truly on the brink. Instead of the American example of liberty and individual freedom, Leftists dictators and tyrants the world over can now look to the U.S. to see how to effectively silence opposing political views.

Ronald Regan warned us that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We are set to test that proposition.

The last thumb in the eye by Congressional Democrats to the outgoing Trump administration is the Democrats' latest Articles of Impeachment, contending the President called for supporters to come to D.C where he allegedly incited the violence that took place on January 6. The actions of the individuals who broke the law and engaged in violence that day are unacceptable and those individuals must be held accountable, but the notion that the President is responsible for those acts is contemptible. I had planned to attend the Jan. 6 event in Washington, not because I was summoned by the President to come to Washington and do violence, but to show my support and appreciation for the many positive achievements of the President and also to express my displeasure at how the President and his team were being denied a fair hearing in the courts and in the media to investigate a long list of well-documented "irregularities" surrounding the election.

Although I was unable to attend the event because of a last-minute work commitment, I have since studied the words used by the President that day and find nothing he said that could be interpreted as inciting violence. Friends I have spoken with who did attend confirm my view of the President's words, but in the Orwellian world of the Democrats and their media cohorts, we are now told that admonishing people to act peacefully and patriotically constitutes incitement to violence.

That the Left should now show concern for violent protests is rich. All summer, and really since the Trump inauguration, the Left has burned and looted and rioted without consequence. Not long ago the same Democrats now conducting the impeachment charade were extolling the virtues of "protestors" who in just the past year stormed the White House security barrier, burned St. John's Church, burned a federal courthouse building, destroyed public statues and looted countless businesses. Does anyone recall how future Biden voters took over the Wisconsin State Capitol Building where they squatted for weeks and trashed the entire facility, or the assault on the Federal Courthouse and the police precinct in Portland? In 2020 alone, there were over 20 deaths, property damage that exceeded $2 billion and injuries to hundreds of police officers caused by protestors the Democrats defended as "mostly peaceful". Instead of demands to hold these rioters accountable, Democrats declared "Viva le resistance," and justified the violent protests and riots as a tool to achieve their political goals "by any means necessary".

In the midst of the violence, burning and looting of Baltimore several years ago the Democrat Mayor of "Charm City" informed the public that she had given "those who wish to destroy space to do that…" More recently a prominent Democrat Congresswoman defending the rioters prior to Jan. 6, told us "we will not have peace in the streets until we have peace in our lives". When lawlessness and intimidation served their political ends, the Democrats' response to the anarchy and violence was not to enforce the law and prosecute the rioters, their response was to defund the police!

Now, having seen the consequences of lawlessness up close and personal on Jan. 6, Democrats have had an epiphany on the need for law and order, at least when it comes to Trump supporters. It seems those in the ivory tower of Washington D.C who took no interest in the plight of ordinary, law abiding, tax-paying, private citizens whose lives were threatened and whose businesses and life savings were ravaged by "mostly peaceful" Leftist protestors now have no problem funding a police and military crackdown to safeguard themselves.

The Party that unleashed this pestilence of violent political protests on our Country is demonstrating its duplicity by wasting taxpayer funds to impeach the President, while at the same time they tell us it is now time to put aside partisan politics and unite behind Joe Biden. In response to their invitation I will say with all sincerity that I hope conservatives and Republicans will learn from the example set by the Democrats and extend to the Biden administration all of the respect, cooperation, goodwill and bipartisanship that Democrats have shown to the Trump administration over the past 4 years.
