CommentsTHE VIEW FROM HERE - Cowards do not go down in history as heroes. Who wants to receive the Neville Chamberlain Award?
Joe Biden used two words to get elected, “Your Family.” Candidate Joe Biden said that the election was not about Trump’s family or about his family. Looking straight into the camera, Biden said “It’s about your family.” By that promise, Biden was shoving aside the group hatreds which Trump GOP and Pelosi Dems had been promoting. Instead, the Biden’s administration would be for the benefit of each individual’s family without regard to race, creed, color, etc.
Near the beginning of his January 2021 inaugural address, Biden said, “But the American story depends not on any one of us, not on some of us, but on all of us. On “We the People” who seek a more perfect Union. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer.” It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy: Unity.”
Also during the campaign, Biden had made the rash, some called it reckless, promise to have 100 million people vaxed within his first 100 days. He did not promise to vax only Dems, or only Whites, or only Blacks. Biden made no divisive distinction as to who would be vaxed. One week prior to his first 100 days, Biden had 200 Americans with their first shot. President Biden delivered on two promises at once: no division and millions of Americans vaxed.
Nor, did Joe Biden go about bad mouthing Trump. Instead, Biden built upon his 200 shots in the arm in 100 days in order set a new national goal -- Let’s All Vax up until We Reach Herd Immunity by the 4th of July. On March 11, 2021, the Biden White House released an ambitious vax plan aimed at July 4th, a date which was an outreach to GOP without stirring up division.
Biden Turns Divisive Woker and Destroys his Administration
On May 13, 2021, Biden and his chosen CDC Director Rochelle Walensky abruptly jettison his successful centrist approach in favor of re-igniting the culture wars over the Covid pandemic. The CDC said: “Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a face mask or stay 6 feet away from others in most settings, whether outdoors or indoors.” While many Americans are oblivious to dog whistles, political savvy people knew what Walensky was saying, “Good Dems need not wear masks, while bad GOP must wear their masks as badges of shame.” Certainly the right wing media understood that it was a sneak attack, that Biden broke the truce, and that centrism was dead. It’s a wonder Trump didn’t break a leg jumping for joy.
Why Did Biden Go All Woker?
He had won the election by being a centrist; he was doing quite well as a centrist. It takes time for an ocean liner to change course, but Biden was making progress. Also, on May 13, 2021 Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia was meeting with Joe Biden at the White House on the infrastructure bill. A significant problem was the Left had lumped a lot of non-infrastructure stuff into the bill. Both sides tried to diplomatically pretend the objection was only to the dollar sign attached to the bill. But, the underlying problem seemed clear. The avenue to a centrist bill, which the Senate would approve, required deletion of a lot of Woker goals. That same May 13th Walensky and Biden unleashed their hyper-partisan attack on the GOP anti-maskers anti-vaxers. Finally in November 2021, Biden got his first infrastructure bill, which was basically what the GOP wanted back in April 2021. Going Woker got Biden nothing!
Americans Do Not Respond Favorably to Group Rights!
Biden has abandoned all centrism in favor of Wokerism. The nation saw in the November 2021 elections the disaster which Wokerism brings the Dem Party, but with their heads stuck firmly in the sand, the Dems persist. Biden and the Wokers do not comprehend that Americans will rectify deprivation of individual rights, but they abhor and will reject Wokers’ group right agenda.
When Biden took office in January 2021, he had a 53% approval rating, but by January 12, 2022, only 33% of Americans approve of Biden, and only 25% of Independents approve. These are not the approval ratings of a President whom the center sees fighting for a better life for Their Family. The voters have been clear about what they hate – Pelosi and Wokerism.
No matter how many falsehoods are told about Critical Race Theory’s merely teaching history, it is a highly racist concept where Whites are cast as villains and Blacks as their hapless victims. Although Blacks comprise only 14% of Americans, 1619 Project insists that the Black experience is the core of the American experience. Wokers can scream this nonsense until they are blue in the face, but other Americans detest the arrogant racism which permeates Wokerism and Pelosi’s Identity Politics.
On January 6, 2022, the anniversary of the violent insurrection at the Capitol, President Biden had no recognition that millions of Americans do not share his perspective. While Biden’s speech has the facts correct, he turned it into an attack on other Americans. Amidst all the drama about violence and blaming Trump, Biden did not mention a fact about which no fair minded President should have been silent. During the Senate trial of Trump’s second impeachment, the Dem House Managers under the thumb of Nancy Pelosi did not call a single witness! There were scores, if not hundreds, of insurrectionists who were eager to testify before the Senate to explain how Trump had incited them and then abandoned them. The Dems refused to allow one of them to testify, thereby guaranteeing that the Senate would not convict Trump and bar him from running for office. Instead, Nancy Pelosi and her cohort of Wokers sabotaged the Republic by making certain Trump would be acquitted and remain an albatross around the neck of the GOP Party. Had the Proud Boys and others testified, they would have told about their sincere belief that the November 2020 election had been stolen and they thought that they were saving the Republic. Their testimony would have convicted Trump of incitement and he would have been barred from running again.
Pelosi and the Wokers accurately assessed that if a significant number of GOP voted to convict their own President, the GOP would be elevated to hero status and that would harm her career. It would also defang the Alt Right GOP. When a significant number of GOP convicted, Biden’s centrist government was far more likely as Biden could fashion winning legislation without kowtowing to Pelosi and the Wokers. The GOP could cooperate as the Alt Right would be leaderless (as would the Wokers). About 85% of American are centrist while less than 15% are extremists. Catering to the extremes courts national disaster.
Biden Tripled Down on Wokerism with his Voting Rights Speech
It is hard to imagine that Biden could have made a speech more guaranteed to doom the Voting Rights Bill than his calling the GOP evil and digging a division so deeply into American political life that one could look into the trench and see the Great Wall of China. According to Biden, support the Dems voting bill or you’re Sheriff Bull Connor unleashing attack dogs on peaceful civil rights advocates.
One can gain far more support for fair voting laws by showing one elderly Black lady waiting for hours in the hot sun than by castigating millions of White Americans as racist thugs. The Wokers cannot even convince centrist Americans that the GOP Voting changes are sensible. When Wokers demand that felons should have the right to vote, one photo of the Black felon, Aariel Maynor, who wantonly murdered Beverly Hills matron, Jacqueline Avandt, in her own bedroom discredits restoring voting rights to felons.
The hatred of Wokerism is highlighted by the fact that the Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva and LAPD shunned taking the Fernando Arroyos murder case to the new L.A. County District Attorney, George Gascón, due to his perceived Wokerism. The media is giving the public mixed messages, but one report is consistent – Gascón did not commit to using Gang Enhancements to increase the penalties. Sheriff Villanueva would not risk Gascón’s treating the murder of a police officer as a “simple murder.” The Feds promised much harsher treatment. Is the Feds’ approach fact based or due to the Feds on-going attack on F-13? The important aspect for Biden is that due to his perceived Woker approach, Gascón did not have the opportunity to gather the evidence to make an informed decision.
Hispanics are not Wokers! Generic Whites are not Wokers. Wokers will cause a massive GOP Congressional landslide in November 2022. The only way to prevent disaster in November 2022 is for Pelosi to resign now, immediately, with no delay and for Biden to back away from Wokerism.
