Global Biden

 

do you believe our president biden is a strong global leader who will stand up to:

  • China
  • Russia
  • Iran
  • North Korea

or... is he more concerned with:

  • BLM
  • Critical Race Theory
  • Climate Change
  • Cancel Culture
  • Defunding the Police
  • Spending money and
  • Raising Taxes???

REMEMBER...  if you are wrong, the American people will pay the price....

If you doubt that CHINA wants to dominate the world, then you are intellectually foolish...  not to mention rather politically ignorant...  and, do not pay attention to the global news or care about what happens to your future or the future of your children...

Tokyo Olympics

 FROM BBC NEWS...

North Korea has announced it will not take part in the Tokyo Olympics this year, saying the decision is to protect its athletes from Covid-19.  The decision puts an end to South Korea's hopes of using the Games to engage with the North amid stalled cross-border talks.

In 2018, both sides entered a joint team at the Winter Olympics which led to a series of historic summits.  Pyongyang says it has no cases of the virus but experts say this is unlikely.  The country's health system is thought to be completely inadequate for dealing with the Covid pandemic, the BBC's Tokyo Correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports.

The announcement makes North Korea the first major country to skip the delayed 2020 Games because of the pandemic. The event is due to begin on 23 July. This will be the first time North Korea has missed a Summer Olympics since 1988, when it boycotted the Seoul Games during the Cold War.

Hopes dashed
Pyongyang's decision was made at an Olympic committee meeting on 25 March, according to a report by the state-run site Sports in the DPRK.  However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it had not "received an official application" from North Korea to step back from the Games.

It added that despite repeated requests, the country's National Olympic Committee had failed to "hold a telephone conference during which the Covid-19 situation in North Korea should also have been discussed".  North Korea has taken stringent measures against the virus since it broke out last year. It shut its borders in late January and later quarantined hundreds of foreigners in its capital.

Since early last year, trains and wagons have been forbidden to enter or leave North Korea, with most international passenger flights stopped as well.
There were hopes from South Korea's President Moon Jae-in that the Games could be a catalyst for progress between both Koreas. That had been the case in 2018, when North Korea sent 22 athletes to the Winter Olympics in South Korea, along with government officials, journalists and a 230-member cheering group.  Among the contingent was North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong - a move which helped it initiate diplomacy with South Korea and the US.  READ MORE

What Is On Our Minds

 Does President Biden have the mental ability to handle what is going on domestically and internationally?


As our President, Biden should be addressing the following concerns rather than promoting an INFRASTRUCTURE BILL that has over 50% PORK in it... 

  1. Southern border immigration in US
  2. Systemic Racism in US
  3. Wealth gap in US
  4. Slow growing economy in US
  5. Inferior US education K-12
  6. One Party Control of US politics
  7. Price increases in US due to increase in Corporate tax rate
  8. Cost of healthcare in US
  9. Cancel Culture in US
  10. Defund police in US
  11. increase in National Debt in US
  12. Increase in gasoline prices in US
  13. Increase in illegal drug use in US
  14. Increase in crime in US
  15. Global increase in UFO activity
  16. Losing the global race to space
  17. Russian aggression
  18. Russia/Germany Pipeline
  19. China's economic threat
  20. China's militaristic threat
  21. Coalition between Russia, China, and North Korea
  22. Coalition between Russia, China, and Iran
  23. North Korea's nuclear program
  24. Iran's nuclear program
  25. Euro dollar worth more than US dollar
It would appear that President Biden does not care about the USA as a WHOLE COUNTRY, only his party, the Democrats, and the Socialists that are pulling his strings...  what he does not fully grasp is the fact that 50% of the people DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM and those people will not stand idle as he moves in another direction.

The more he moves in the direction into which he is currently moving, the more they will resist him and the more DIVIDED our country will become...   A divided country is NOT STRONG...

Let Them Have NUCLEAR

 


If North Korea wants to be a nuclear power, then the USA should let them have what they want...  and, we should let Iran become a nuclear power as well....

We all want to get to HEAVEN as soon as we can to live an everlasting life with our Creator...   and, this direction would certainly help us get there faster than if we tried to prevent this from happening...

Conservative Liberalism

 I am a CARD CARRYING LIBERAL...  and if I had my way then all Illegal Drugs would be legal...  

Many would probably say that it is a good thing that I don't have my way because it is not a good idea to legalize all illegal drugs...  simply because the American Public does not know how to control their desires and impulses...  and, while I agree with that...  I agree with it on the basis of age and quite possibly service in the military.

Once an individual reaches the age of 21 or even 25, they are old enough to make their own damn decisions INSTEAD OF OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.    

As far as MY MONEY is concerned, I have NO DEBT and have been debt free for almost 20 years.  I have learned to manage a lifestyle in such a way that I pretty much do whatever the hell I want to do and hardly ever anything less and seldom to never anything more.  I don't need or should I say, I no longer need to DO MORE to enjoy myself.

  • I can fly anywhere in the contiguous United States I want 2-3 times a year.
  • I can go on a week long vacation every other month.
  • I can eat out at a restaurant 2-3 times a week.
  • My wife and I have been on 10 Cruises (Caribbean, Mediterranean, Hawaii, Alaska)
  • My wife and I have visited:  Italy, Greece, Turkey, France, Switzerland, England, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Canada
  • My wife and I have been to Hawaii and Vegas 3 time

We have been retired since 2015 and SIMPLY LOVE receiving STIMULUS MONEY from the Federal Government and have used that money to BUY SHIT we don't need which is violating my concept of not needing more; but, since someone else is going to pay for our extravagances, we don't mind doing what we did.

My conservative side says that IMMMIGRATION is a problem but as long as they stay away from EAST TN, we really don't give a damn where they relocate.  BUT, since the damn illegals are in this country, then we might as well take care of them...  neither my wife nor I want to take care of any, but everyone else can help themselves.

I hope that the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION helps the North Koreans become a NUCLEAR POWER...  It is my liberal belief that the more nuclear powers that we have in the world the less other countries will want to acquire territory.  Perhaps the North Koreans can then help IRAN become Nuclear and other Middle Eastern countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Syria.

Muslim Terrorist will never present a HUGE problem to the United States as long as America's Christians convert to ISLAM.  And, whose to say that GOD did not intend for ISLAM to become a global religion in the first place.  However, I do not think that the MUSLIM who practice Islam should FORCE THEIR BELIEFS on ATHEISTS who have no beliefs at all.

CHINA wants to control the world and I, for one, think that we should let them do whatever it is that they want to do as long as Americans can still have their SOCIALISTIC LIFESTYLE.  I doubt that the CHINESE government would ever pass out stimulus checks but they should not interfere if the USA wants to continue the process.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

New Year -- New Decade -- No Longer UNITED

 What does it matter?

Will life in America change any now that we have a Democratic President?

America's Wealthy will grow WEALTHIER...
Taxes for some will increase...
Benefits for others will increase...
Employment will fluctuate as will income...
Racism will not go away nor will it improve much...
Inequality will remain pretty much the same...
Public Education K-12 will continue to decline...
More people will have college degrees but it won't make any difference...
China will continue to grow militarily and economically...
North Korea and Iran will go nuclear...
Russia will continue to meddle in our politics...
Marijuana will eventually be legalized nationally...
Illegal Drugs will continue to increase...
Immigration into USA will continue to increase...
Healthcare Resources will become limited and scare...
The Baby Boomers will continue to bleed out Social Security
Urban Crime will continue to increase

America is and has been in trouble for a long time...  and, it is easy to see in how politicians respond to the general public versus what actually gets done...  America's debt is on the increase and the stimulus pandemic checks did not help any...  in fact, they made the situation worse...

For example,
My wife and I are both retired and living on Social Security and other income, neither of which has been damaged because of the shutdowns...  However, we received 2 stimulus check, neither of which did we need...  and, all we did we shift the funds from checking into savings...  and spent NOTHING.

White America plays politics between the liberals and the conservatives with the Independents, Libertarians, and Socialists creating more HAVOC than good, the rest of the world is GROWING and BUILDING their economies and militaries and their educational abilities...

For example,
there are more foreign countries with students involved in STEM education than there are American students involved in STEM education.
Science
Technology
Engineering
Math

America is losing the future in EDUCATION
American\ is losing the future with the ECONOMY
America is losing the future with the MILITARY
America is losing the future because it is no longer UNITED

How Would A Biden Presidency Handle This?


North Korea unveils new weapons at 
military parade
The missiles highlighted how the North has continued to expand its military capabilities during a stalemate in nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration.


SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un warned that his country would “fully mobilize” its nuclear force if threatened as he took center stage at a military parade that unveiled what appeared to be a new intercontinental ballistic missile and other weapons.

Kim, however, avoided direct criticism of Washington during Saturday's event, which celebrated the 75th anniversary of the ruling party and took place less than four weeks before the U.S. presidential election. Instead, he focused on a domestic message urging his people to remain firm in the face of “tremendous challenges” posed by the coronavirus pandemic and crippling U.S.-led sanctions over his nuclear program.

Kim described the North’s continuing efforts to develop its nuclear deterrent as necessary for its defense and said it wasn’t targeting any specific country.

But “if any force harms the safety of our nation, we will fully mobilize the strongest offensive might in a preemptive manner to punish them,” he said.  TO READ ENTIRE ARTICLE, CLICK HERE...

While the Democrats and their supporters complain about all the crap that President Trump has done, their fail to address the more serious issues of a NUCLEAR NOTH KOREA and how that would impact the FAR EAST, specifically South Korea and Japan and a potential coalition between NORTH KOREA, CHINA, RUSSIA, and quite possible the MIDDLE EAST and GLOBAL TERRORISM...

Right now, President Trump is seen as the MAD HATTER who the rest of the world does not want to MESS AROUND with because he cannot be pushed around....

How with BIDEN be perceived?
And, how will this perception influence GLOBAL POLITICS and NUCLEAR POWER?

NUTTY NANCY...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a dramatic announcement during her weekly press conference Thursday by telling reporters that she intends to discuss a constitutional measure to remove President Trump from office, following questions regarding Trump's health as he recovers from coronavirus.

The 25th Amendment allows for the vice president to become acting president if is determined that the president "is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."

"Tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow, come here tomorrow," Pelosi said. "We're going to be talking about the 25th Amendment."

The president fired back in a Thursday afternoon tweet.

“Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation,” he said. “They don’t call her Crazy for nothing!”  SOURCE:  FOX NEWS 8OCT2020

As a fellow Democrat, I am embarrassed at the lengths that the DEMOCRATS in this country will go to in order to remove TRUMP from office.  Pelosi's statement is not one that I would expect to be spoken by a religious woman or who had the best interests of the country in mind.  She claims that TRUMP is divisive but this statement is only made to create division and place doubt in the minds of the voter...

November 3 is not that far away but the results of that election will be felt for years to come no matter who wins or who the Supreme Court says won the election.

I don't like Trump's tweets nor do I like his personality and how he scandalizes the office of the President of the United States...  but, he is not the first one to do this....  Actually, John F. Kennedy was the first one to do this followed by Clinton, both of whom were Democrats.

BUT,
one issue is FOR CERTAIN, if Biden wins our taxes will increase...
YES...  Biden says taxes will be raised making more than $400,000 annually and that is TRUTH
BUT.
Biden also says he will remove the tax cuts on businesses, individuals, and family which once removed will cause those under $400,000 to pay more in taxes as well...

REMOVING TAX CUTS does cause taxes to go up even though taxes have not been increased...

Removing TRUMP's tax cuts will force Businesses to hire less people to pay those taxes that the tax cuts took away.

Businesses must generate profits for Stockholders, New Products, Plant and Equipment, etc...  so, labor will be reduced to COMPENSATE...

Either less new hires or lay-offs...

For those of you who have 401K's or other retirement investments through your employers or on your own, with a Biden Election and increase taxes on businesses, the Stock Market will plunge like it did in 2008 and if Obama did in fact, leave a growing economy for TRUMP like they claim, it took the STOCK MARKET 8 years to regain what it had lost...  and that was without any new taxes...

A lot can happen in 8 years...
  • The wealthy will shelter their taxable income in tax free offshore bank accounts
  • The wealthy will reduce contributions to NON PROFITS
  • More Money will have to be borrowed from CHINA
  • CHINA's current economy is almost as large as the economy of the USA
  • CHINA's military is bigger than the military of the USA
  • Previous trade deals favored foreign countries not American Farmers and Citizens
  • Iran will achieve its NUCLEAR goals
  • Russia will start acquiring territory because Democrats don't like hurt their enemies
  • Terrorism in the Middle East will escalate and grow without a strong US presence
  • The global economy will shift toward CHINA and the centers of global commerce will not longer be NEW YORK CITY and LAS ANGELES
  • TRUMP's wall will be torn down
  • Immigration will increase into the USA
  • Democrats want FREE MEDICARE for all Illegal Immigrants
  • Democrats want FREE EDUCATION
In closing let me remind you of a phrase that Janis Joplin sang in her song, ME AND BOBBY MCGEE:

FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD 
FOR NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE...

Global Threats to America

2019 - HERITAGE FOUNDATION
                                                          

America faces challenges to its security at home and interests abroad from countries and organizations that have:
  • Interests that conflict with those of the U.S.;
  • Sometimes hostile intentions toward the U.S.; and
  • In some cases, growing military capabilities that are leveraged to impose their will by coercion or intimidation of neighboring countries, thereby creating regional instabilities.
The government of the United States constantly faces the challenge of employing, sometimes alone but more often in concert with allies, the right mix of diplomatic, economic, public information, intelligence, and military capabilities to protect and advance U.S. interests.

Russia remains the primary threat to American interests in Europe and is the most pressing threat to the United States. The 2020 Index again assesses the threat emanating from Russia as “aggressive” in its behavior and “formidable” (the highest category on the scale) in its growing capabilities. Moscow continues to engage in massive pro-Russia propaganda campaigns in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries, actively supports separatist forces in Ukraine, regularly performs provocative military exercises and training missions, and continues to sell and export arms to countries that are hostile to U.S. interests. It also has increased its investment in modernizing its military and has gained significant combat experience while continuing to sabotage U.S. and Western policy in Syria and Ukraine.

China, the most comprehensive threat the U.S. faces, remained “aggressive” in the scope of its provocative behavior and earns the score of “formidable” for its capability because of its ongoing military modernization and buildup. The People’s Liberation Army continues to extend its reach and military activity beyond its immediate region and engages in larger and more comprehensive exercises, including live-fire exercises in the East China Sea near Taiwan. It also has continued to conduct probes of the South Korean and Japanese air defense identification zones, drawing rebukes from both Seoul and Tokyo. In addition, there is little evidence that Chinese cyber espionage and computer network exploitation have abated.

Iran remains the state actor that is most hostile to American interests in the Middle East. The 2020 Index assesses Iran’s behavior as “aggressive” and its capability as “gathering.” In the years since publication of the 2015 Index, Iran has methodically moved closer to becoming a nuclear power, and it continues to enhance its ICBM, missile defense, and unmanned systems capabilities. Iran also continues to perpetuate and exploit instability to expand its influence in the region, both in its direct involvement in regional engagements and through its proxies, particularly in Syria. This year also saw aggressive activity in the Strait of Hormuz, including the downing of a U.S. drone in international airspace and attacks on merchant shipping.

North Korea’s level of behavior remained “testing” in the 2020 Index. North Korea’s capability level has also remained at “gathering” as Pyongyang continues to develop and refine its missile technology, especially in the area of submarine-launched ballistic missiles. With its ICBM program, North Korea remains both a threat to U.S. allies and assets in the region and an ongoing threat to the U.S. homeland.

OBVIOUS QUESTION:  Do you think President Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden is best equipped to deal with these global threats to America?

2020 Election

SIX MONTHS from now, Americans will decided on a new President and return the current President for another 4 years.  While President Trump is not always Presidential and seemingly likes to piss most everyone of his enemies off from time-to-time, he did BUILD the STRONGEST ECONOMY the USA has ever seen...   AND, he did reduce the unemployment level to the LOWEST the USA has ever seen...

President Trump created a Conservative Majority on the Supreme Court which will last for several decades and he has appointed dozens of Conservative Federal Judges which will also last for several decades...

THE PANDEMIC STIMULUS MONIES eventually will have to be paid back...  and, that means higher taxes whether it is proposed by Democrats or Republicans...  HIGHER TAXES is in our future...

GLOBALLY:
1.  China wants to defeat the USA economically
2.  China wants to have a military superior to the USA
3.  China wants to be dominate in SPACE
4.  China OWNS 1/3 of all US DEBT
5.  Russia wants take the USA down
6.  Russia wants to expand its territories in Europe
7.  Russia wants to reluctantly UNITE with China
8.  North Korea wants to become a nuclear power
9.  North Korea has support for China
10.  Middle Eastern Muslim countries are AGAINST the USA


QUESTIONS:
1.  Do you think Joe Biden is mentally equipped to deal with China?
2.  Do you think Joe Biden is mentally equipped to deal with Russia?
4.  Do you think Joe Biden is mentally equipped to deal with North Korea?
5.  Do you think Joe Biden is mentally equipped to deal with the Middle East?
6.  Do you think Joe Biden is mentally equipped to deal with the economy?

Further...
Joe Biden is 77 years old...  what about his health?  Bear in mind that if Joe Biden become incapacitated, his VP will automatically become President...
