Hope To Cast Him From White House . . . Will An Insider Be Brave To Reveal Some Secret On Declining Biden?

August 22, 2021 Frontpage No Comments

By DEXTER DUGGAN

Will Joe Biden and his teammates including Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi have stepped aside or been removed from their posts by about the time you read this? That may be too optimistic a hope for the beginning of the restoration of the United States. However, other recent major events have moved quickly.
To sweep these bad political players from the board, all it would take is for whistleblowers to reveal disastrously damaging evidence from behind the scenes about the machinations and embarrassments in the daily flow of the cognitively impaired, immoral government head and his enablers.
Even more so than previously, the 78-year-old bad Catholic prez seemed to have trouble getting through the hours without turning to covert care, including frequent trips back to Delaware, topped off with a long weekend at Camp David, the aptly named presidential “retreat,” as the U.S. presence in Afghanistan collapsed.
Some people age worse than others. Biden needs to be in a retirement home, not purportedly being leader of the Western democracies — a disgraced figurehead. Those in a position to act by exposing Biden’s hidden realities must take it on themselves and show courage before Biden could inflict fatal damage on the U.S.
Amid the list of growing threats to the U.S., from Beijing to Moscow to Kabul, is befuddled Biden himself, and his palace guard.
Remember that shortly after Biden took up residence in the White House, he met with left-wing historians to assure him of his upcoming greatness? What a pathetic joke now.
Donald Trump’s White House was a cascade of leaks. Where are presidential leaks today when they’re far more necessary in order to save the nation?
Coincidentally just before Biden’s blurry thinking allowed Afghanistan to be taken over by the Taliban in mid-August, some brave source apparently in the U.S. Border Patrol leaked evidence about how dangerous Biden’s open-borders mania has proved to be for his own nation.
Some Border Patrol whistleblower(s) leaked devastating recorded comments from no less than open-borders Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas that the U.S. is on an unsustainable path trying to cope with the massive border invasion, as reported by news agencies on August 13.
“We can’t continue like this, our people in the field can’t continue and our system isn’t built for it,” Mayorkas said.
(By the way, as a measure of how spaced-out that federal department is, on August 18 the “secretary’s corner” at “dhs.gov/secretary” still showed an item dated August 2 that referred to “the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Secretary.” Yes, you read that right.)
Only seven months into his presidency, establishment puppet Biden has brought the U.S. and allies into perilous times indeed. Is it possible this bad Catholic’s stubborn sacrilege against sacramental life has begun to draw heavenly retribution right out in the open? Not only upon his own head, but also on a nation whose arrogant elite not only tolerated but welcomed his depravity.
If the reckoning had begun to arrive, Biden still had time to repent rather than await the day that further-emboldened terrorists launch another 9/11 style of attack on the U.S., whether by personnel and equipment that crossed the southern border, aircraft, or some other method.
The Communist Chinese-produced virus already did remarkable work at throwing this nation into chaos, as much due to U.S. establishment overreaction as the disease’s own powers. Harm from a medical lab seemed at least as useful at getting results as from a nuclear-weaponry workshop.
The terror-spawning Taliban had controlled Afghanistan before September 11, 2001, and was reclaiming that role as the twentieth anniversary of the massive fatal attacks approached next month in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania.
What do people do when the world is collapsing around them, even at a distance? Twenty years ago, I already had an appointment to keep on the northeastern outskirts of the Phoenix metropolitan area that morning, scheduled after the first tower collapsed. The Pentagon soon would be hit.
I decided to drive to my interview. If the U.S. was about to be destroyed, it wouldn’t matter where I was, nor could I prevent it.
When I arrived at the reception desk, I learned that the second tower had collapsed. When I drove home late that afternoon, I found daily Mass nearly packed at my parish, about 1,000 people more than you’d expect for a weekday evening. None of us could swear to what tomorrow held, but church was the right place to be.
Today events may seem equally dubious to people on the ground in Afghanistan, although many of them turn to a different faith tradition for succor.
It may seem hard to be cocky and cognitively impaired at the same time, but Biden had managed to pull it off. A few weeks earlier he brushed away the very idea that the upcoming U.S. military departure from Afghanistan could produce any images as embarrassing as desperate people on a rooftop stairway, fleeing Communist takeover in Saigon in 1975, trying to reach a small helicopter.
Actually, the 2021 debacle produced a far worse image — hundreds or more people who didn’t want to be left behind, dashing along a Kabul airport tarmac as a massive U.S. military jet transport right beside them headed for the runway.
Some of them even clung atop its still-extended wheel-well covers, although a person can’t imagine how they hoped this would avail. It would be an even more precarious perch than trying to ride out on the wings of a jet flying at hundreds of miles per hour.
Tragically, a few of them actually did manage to hang on until the jet began climbing into the sky, and they tumbled to their deaths. This was a small, sad echo of the trapped victims who fell or jumped from far up on New York’s blazing Twin Towers 20 years ago.
If U.S. military errors this time were egregious, that may be what you get when its civilian command is deeply into aggressive left-wing politics, ashamed of its own country, and perversely blessed with a military leadership both lacking honor and ready to impose social Marxism on the troops.
Civilian and military commanders were readier for combat with illusory white supremacists alleged to be lurking everywhere in the U.S. than with actual enemies whom the administration feared to offend, for some politically correct reason or other.
Not that religious conservatives believe the U.S. is faultless. Far from it, especially with dominant leftists having imposed their immoral revolutions by diktat for decades, including massive permissive abortion. But we remain here to repulse them, not run from our responsibility.

Border Security

Meanwhile, Biden’s catastrophic weakness had the U.S.’s real enemies licking their chops. Pundit Bill O’Reilly pointed out that the Communist Chinese-sponsored paper The Global Times was delighted at Biden’s rout and editorialized that the U.S. would abandon Taiwan, too.
The Global Times editorial posted August 18 said, “We believe that as long as the (Communist) mainland’s strength continues to grow, and as long as it prepares fully for military struggles and has a firm will to unify, then there is no doubt the U.S. is doomed to eventually abandon Taiwan.”
Why not, when Beijing subjugated restive Hong Kong? Why not, when Biden’s leftist administration has a soft spot for what Communists want anyway?
That’s probably a major reason, too, why Biden is so weak on U.S. border security. Leftists these days believe in wide-open borders no matter the destructive results, but even Mayorkas admitted privately to his agents that the U.S. was headed for collapse if continuing this surrender.
Border agents had handled more than 212,000 encounters in July alone with illegal aliens, another big jump in the figures, and this doesn’t count however many slipped past them.
On August 13 Fox News quoted Mayorkas speaking privately, “A couple of days ago I was down in Mexico, and I said look, you know, if, if our borders are the first line of defense, we’re going to lose, and this is unsustainable.”
Even Arizona GOP Gov. Doug Ducey — hardly a screaming border hawk, being, as he is, under the wing of Arizona’s McCain Machine — reacted to this news by calling for Mayorkas’ resignation. Not that dominant media focused on Ducey’s demand. In an August 13 news release, Ducey said, in part: “The buck must stop somewhere. A defeatist is not what we need when it comes to fighting for border security.
“It is time for Secretary Mayorkas to resign,” Ducey said, “and for him to be replaced with someone who will tell the American people the truth publicly, stand up to the radical activists inside the Biden-Harris administration, and once and for all end the crisis at the southern border. The safety of Arizona and our entire nation depends on it.”
Meanwhile, the bad Catholic, socialist pal, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have worried that her Democratic Party’s power was slipping away, and she had to ram through two huge spending bills together, the larger of which would also enact the Dem left-wing social agenda such as federalizing elections so that Dems could cheat even more than already, plus radical environmentalism.
Trying to shove them through might take some of the focus off Biden’s current disasters — disasters which, in turn, might soon undercut Dems’ potential for passing much more of anything into law soon as the White House dissolved into a sorry puddle.
Of course, 19 squishy Senate Republicans including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell already rode to the rescue on advancing the “smaller” of the two spending bills, $1.2 trillion for so-called infrastructure, so never lose confidence in their ability to cause disaster.
The GOP tag team at least could have insisted first on serious reciprocity from Biden, such as, oh, securing the border, but that would have threatened some Republicans’ well-earned status as losers. When Biden is on the ropes, well, it’s just not sporting to press for a GOP advantage.
And on the ropes Biden was. He may not have learned much during his nearly half-century in Washington, but surely he learned that establishment Republicans are saps.
Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan admitted the president passed the crucial time when Kabul fell without speaking with a single foreign leader.
Even left-wing CNN reported on August 18, “It has all unfolded with scant communication from Biden himself, who waited 48 hours after Kabul fell to speak with any foreign leader. He phoned Britain’s prime minister on Tuesday afternoon (August 17), and on Wednesday spoke to German Chancellor Angela Merkel.”

Bleak Prospects For
Young Women

Having spent a long weekend in his Delaware home state from August 6-9, the elderly president returned to D.C. briefly on August 10, went back to Delaware on August 12, then headed for a longer weekend at Maryland’s Camp David on August 13.
He initially wasn’t expected to return to the nation’s capital as Kabul fell, but, obviously feeling public pressure, Biden managed to get back to the White House on August 16 for a talk lasting less than 20 minutes. He quickly turned his back on reporters despite their shouted questions then hit the skies again for Camp David.
Having fought for decades to win the White House, cognitively declining Biden couldn’t seem to stay away from it enough now. Among intriguing possibilities, a person might speculate that he was receiving covert medical therapy to deal with the deficits of aging.
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk raised an intriguing possibility on his August 16 radio program that Biden desired Afghanistan’s fast collapse so he could bring lots of refugees here along the lines of Minnesota’s radical-left Democrat Cong. Ilhan Omar, born in Somalia.
If so, a terrible price was being paid. The front page of the August 13 New York Post was dominated by a photo of a suffering gray-haired older woman holding two photos, each one apparently of the same young woman, her daughter both alive and dead. The blaring headline was “Biden’s Saigon,” and one of two sub-headlines was, “We abandon women to Taliban savagery.”
Even though young women may face bleak prospects under admitted Taliban plans to govern by Shariah law, American radical-feminist groups seemed to contain their outrage at the prospect.
Perhaps they hoped the females would flee to here, where they could be subjected to America’s own version of Shariah in school, called Critical Race Theory.
