LEE GREENWOOD, known for his patriotic anthem, “God Bless the USA,” since it debuted in 1984, has been asked by President Biden to resign or be dismissed from his position on the National Council for the Arts.  Pathetic and petty.

Greenwood was first appointed to the council by President George W. Bush, who is on record as saying Biden was “a good man, who has won the opportunity to unify our country.”  Greenwood went on to serve on the council under Presidents Obama and Trump.

Biden recently asked several members of the Trump administration to resign or be dismissed from the Naval Academy’s Board of Visitors.  When asked for Biden’s reasons for terminating their appointments, White House press secretary Jen Psaki brushed her hair aside and said, “The president’s objective is to ensure you have nominees and people serving on these boards who are qualified to serve on them and who are aligned with your values.”

With that, are we to assume then that Greenwood, who has sung this song thousands of times, repeating the words “proud to be an American” each time, does not express Biden’s values?

Biden predetermines investigation result

With our Border Patrol people stretched to handle Biden’s open border policy, as thousands of migrants have swarmed across the Del Rio, Texas border, Biden took to the White House microphone to pre-judge what he saw as “horrible” and “outrageous,” the actions of agents on horseback attempting to control the flow.

With claims of whipping, and running over migrants, Biden said, “I promise you, those people will pay.  There is an investigation underway right now and there will be consequences.”

“There needs to be consequences and accountability,” chimed-in Vice President Harris during an appearance on The View, “human beings should not be treated that way.”

How can those Border Patrol horsemen expect to get a fair hearing when Biden and Harris have already judged them guilty? It’s disgraceful.

Shooting pictures of the encounter from the Mexican side, Paul Ratje of Las Cruces, New Mexico, said, “I’ve never seen them whip anyone, he was swinging it (the reins) but it can be misconstrued when you’re looking at the picture.”

I wonder if he will be called as a witness.  Not if he is a Republican.

Meanwhile, neither Biden nor Harris have visited the border where thousands of migrants have waded across the Rio Grande River to avoid the official border.  While some have been flown back to Haiti, it is estimated that at least 10,000 migrants have been permitted passage into the United States in a town near you with a note to appear in court at some future date. 

Biden’s Pettiness

It all began on Day 1 in the White House for Biden, who couldn’t wait to reverse orders made by President Trump.  With his pen, he stopped the Keystone pipeline and foreclosed on our pride in having energy independence.

Then there was the stoppage of construction the border wall and reversing Trump’s immigration policies. 

Soon to follow was the decision to return to the Paris Agreement and a series of economy-killing emissions regulations, and climate change scares.

The latest was his refusal to follow the Afghanistan withdrawal plan put forth by the Trump administration.

All of these petty, anti-Trump moves have already had a detrimental effect on our well-being.

Further Pettiness

A number of socialist Democrats want to abolish the Space Force.  Not because they don’t want to spend money on our military capabilities in space as they claim, but because the new service branch was created by President Trump.

Those behind the move, sure to be unsuccessful, are Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Maxine Waters.

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