Commentary

As I watched President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden stand there on the Dover Air Force Base tarmac Sunday as the bodies of the 13 service members killed in Afghanistan passed in front of them during the precision transfer of the caskets from the C-17 to awaiting hearses, I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through their minds.

I recalled the piece I wrote on July 5, 2021, in which I rhetorically asked how she could have allowed her husband to run for president.  “Surely,” I wrote, “she was aware that he wasn’t up to it.  Seriously.”

Could she possibly be thinking how those young men didn’t have to die, recognizing that Joe, in his mental state, shouldn’t have been put in the position to make critical decisions; to question the advice of his national security people and generals?

If she was being honest with herself, she must admit she was wrong to support his campaign for the presidency.  Even the author of the puff piece on her in Vogue had to admit “It’s hard to imagine Joe doing this without her, being downright scary.”

And was Joe having second thoughts about his withdrawal decision?  ‘Why didn’t I just permit President Trump’s conditional withdrawal agreement with the Taliban to get us out of Afghanistan?’

Then, on Monday morning, as I read Ben Domenech’s Transom piece, “A Presidency Gone Off the Rails,” comments of President Biden’s incompetence by dozens of other pundits, on the left and right, and letters to editors, all pointing to his decision-making and weak leadership, my mind began to reflect on how we ended up in this mess.

Popular columnist and commentator Bill O’Reilly put it succinctly: Mr. Biden is a diminished man living in a world of delusion.  And now the entire world knows it. Joe Biden’s time has passed.  He is not capable of complicated decision-making.”

I thought of those Americans who were deceived into thinking Biden would make them all forget about President Trump and his mean tweets, no matter what he was able to accomplish in his first term.

“Every single American who voted for Joe Biden is indirectly responsible for America’s dramatic decline, and its not just overseas or at the border.  Inflation is galloping, the individual work ethic is being destroyed, along with important American traditions like due process and self-reliance.” – Bill O’Reilly

Those of us on the right reminded voters of Biden’s foreign policy failures, and warned of the Biden family corruption, but the mainstream media refused to cover those matters during the campaign.

All things you’ve read here before.  It’s history.  What do we do now?

As we come to terms with what must be done to remove Joe Biden from the presidency, may I suggest that you read and keep the words spoken by the mother of Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, who was one of the 13 service members killed during Biden’s ill-conceived withdrawal operation:

“I want all you Democrats who cheated in the election, or who voted for him legitimately, to know that you just killed my son.  With a dementia-ridden piece of crap who doesn’t even know he’s in the White House, who still thinks he’s a senator.” – Kathy McCollum, Montrose, Colorado

Finally, Kurt Schlichter, writing in Townhall scolds Democrats, “Electing Joe Biden was an essentially unserious act by essentially unserious people applying essentially unserious criteria. 

“It’s time to accept responsibility for what you’ve done. This is your failure.  Own it.”

Now, more than ever … may God continue to bless the United States of America.
