It goes like this\u2026<em> &#8220;That old boy couldn&#8217;t see the forest for the trees&#8221;. T<\/em>hat axiom could be applied to all manner of things\u2026 from infidelity, to being played by others\u2026 bad personal choices or simply the inability to recognize the obvious. I&#8217;m going to try to use this little folksy thought to segue into our current political crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Democratic Party has their shorts all in a wad about Joe Biden&#8217;s falling poll numbers. Even some Party big shots have openly voiced their opinion that he should not run for re-election as his sagging poll numbers could be a drag on the Party across the board. I submit, they have nobody to blame other than themselves. Democrats, probably even more than Republicans, early on recognized that Joe Biden is a pathological liar. They used that fact to drive him out of his first run for the Presidency against Bill and Hillary. Two other practitioners of the art, albeit a bit more subtle and polished than Joe. We&#8217;ll maybe not so subtle. They were just better at it. I remember so well back in the day during a talking head round table on a Sunday morning news show, when one liberal commentator expressed her pride about Bill&#8217;s mendacity by proclaiming\u2026 <em>&#8220;But you have to admit&#8230;he&#8217;s so good at it&#8221;! <\/em>A smug pride in&nbsp;another ability to being a good liar! I read that as an admission\u2026 if you&#8217;re going to be a Democratic Politician\u2026. You had to be a good liar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, it is a daily topic as to how Biden is too old, too weak of mind and feeble to run again. The truth is, he has been that way since before he was elected. Biden is\/was just a useful tool for the Democrats\u2026 a puppet being controlled by others. They tell him what to say and how to say it (and he is so discombobulated he even screws that up as often as not). What policies to embrace, no matter how stupid. Old Joe knows one thing for sure\u2026 without the Party&#8217;s backing, his criminal enterprise he has run throughout his political career would be exposed in a <em>&#8220;New York Minute&#8221;. They have the goods on him, and he knows it!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now here comes the <em>forest for the trees<\/em> connection. Every damn policy mistake made by Joe Biden, that has resulted in&nbsp;crushing inflation, chaos and leading to our nations decline\u2026 aren&#8217;t the result of a doddering old fool\u2026 but in reality, are the results of the fervent minds of the Democratic Party elites. The real masters of mendacity! Right out the gate, the assault on our energy independence was driven by the globalists embrace of one of the biggest frauds in history. <em>Climate change<\/em>. Joe Biden probably never had an original thought in his life other than figuring out how to solicit bribes and kickbacks. And he wasn&#8217;t that subtle about it. He has just been the mouth organ for what the Democratic Party stands for. A policy of chaos, deceit and lies&#8230; to gain total control of our beloved nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about this\u2026 every policy put forth by the Biden administration\u2026 is wholeheartedly embraced by the Democratic Party elite across the board! The Democrats in the House and the Senate vote lock step, 100%, in support of every such initiative. From Climate Change, to DEI, to soft on crime to solar power, windmills, (all of which are inefficient, and the real costs are outrageous) and forcing a move away from oil and gas (with no real alternative in place). Obviously, the cure is worse than the disease. Fact\u2026 Climate Change is nothing new for Mother Nature\u2026 this earth has gone through different cycles since its&#8217; creation. We&#8217;ve had shifts in climate since time immemorial. Cool periods, warm periods\u2026 long before the industrial revolution. Nothing that mankind has done has changed that. The left counters that scientists have come to the &#8220;<em>consensus&#8221;<\/em> that mankind is the cause of Climate Change. Well first of all\u2026 that&#8217;s a lie! There are as many or more scientists that refute that\u2026 but because of the political control of the MSM\u2026 those voices are never heard. Second, &#8220;<em>consensus<\/em>&#8221; is not science! They use this to support their claims, while ignoring the obvious fact of &#8220;Garbage in, Garbage out&#8221; when it comes to what the so-called facts that were used to get their computer-generated analysis. Point\u2026 the inputs and so-called facts first used to come up with this scam by a group of vested so-called scientists\u2026 have never been made available to other scientists for peer evaluation. It is a closely held secret. Trust us\u2026 we wouldn&#8217;t lie; therefore we won&#8217;t share the data. This was pointed out decades ago\u2026 but the data has never been released. Why? What are they hiding?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But back to the obvious\u2026 all these debacles that are hallmarks of the Biden Administration that has led to such devastating poll numbers for Joe Biden\u2026 and the decline of our great country\u2026 are not the product of Joe&#8217;s fertile (feeble) mind\u2026 they are 100% products of the Democratic Party as a whole. I mean lock step; in your face\u2026 our way or the highway for any who resist. The politicalization of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and now the Joint Chiefs of the military and Sec of Defense&#8230; and virtually every bureaucracy of the Federal Government\u2026 have been compromised by their political thuggery. I&#8217;ve been watching some of the Senate hearings on Federal Judgeships. If you saw some of the weirdo&#8217;s, zealots, incompetent nominees&#8230; the Democrats supported 100%\u2026 it should give you chills to think what may happen in the years to come! I mean some of the folks are not just partisan\u2026 they&#8217;re bat sh-t crazy to boot (a little southern expression)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My advice to everyone\u2026 during the next national election\u2026 don&#8217;t just vote against Joe Biden\u2026 vote against every member of the Party that pushed him on us. For they represent what he represents\u2026 he just isn&#8217;t as cool or suave as Obama to pull it off. It&#8217;s not just Biden, but the whole cabal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last\u2026 I&#8217;m not a Trump fan\u2026 think he is an egotistical ass\u2026 World class! His own worst enemy. Ronald Reagan proved you could govern without being a bomb thrower. One of his basic tenets was leading with humor and grace\u2026 neither of which Trump possesses. Yeah, he did some right things\u2026 but he also made a lot of stupid mistakes in appointments to high office and screwed some good folks based on bad instincts and bad advice. Sadly, if he is the only choice against a Biden or any other Democrat\u2026 I&#8217;ll vote for him again. I&#8217;ll just hold my nose and vote Republican like I did for McCain and Romney\u2026 both of which were liars and RINOs. Half a loaf is better than no loaf. But I am a DeSantis supporter\u2026 he&#8217;s been a great Governor and can serve without the sh-t show that follows Trump. He has stood up to the crazies and &#8220;Woke&#8221; idiots in our state\u2026 and won! Ask Disney! He&#8217;s the best man for the job!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last\u2026 keep in mind\u2026 when you go to vote\u2026 it isn&#8217;t just Joe Biden you&#8217;re voting against\u2026 it&#8217;s the party who brought him to the dance, whose orders he followed and put forth. Every wrong move Biden has made was at the direction of the Party elite\u2026 keep that in mind! A pox on all their house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Let Trump kick ass, drain the swamp, restore the border, drill, and take the blame \u2026. and then DeSantis in &#8217;28 -> &#8217;36 \u2026 wish they&#8217;d bury the hatchets and run together!]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roy is former USMC &#8216;grunt&#8217;, who became an F-4 &#8220;Phantom&#8221; pilot in Vietnam I got to thinking of an old southern saying about how some folks just couldn&#8217;t recognize or understand the obvious.
