The guessing game of how long the levitation of the Biden presidency can be taken seriously seems to be entering a new phase. The deluge of illegal entries into the United States at the southern border is now running at a rate of closer to 3 million than 2 million a year and yet we still see and hear the bobbling talking head of the Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas assuring us, “The southern border is closed.”
The media has provided almost no coverage of this calamitous invasion. A recent Trafalgar poll found that 56 percent of Americans don’t think Joe Biden is “fully executing the duties of his office,” yet the docile White House press corps continues to ask him about his ice cream and other such probing questions of national interest. Apart from a rising stock market and a quieter atmosphere, the record of the new administration is one of almost complete failure.
The oceanic influx of unskilled labor at the southern border cannot fail to aggravate unemployment and depress the incomes for the vulnerable sectors of what, under President Trump, was a fully employed workforce. The administration has reduced domestic oil production and squandered the country’s status as an energy self-sufficient state. These are all familiar issues to those who follow public affairs, but the 95 percent Democratic-supporting media preserve the cocoon of a fairyland Biden presidency, whose bumbling chief flatters himself with comparisons to Franklin D. Roosevelt.
This regime has embraced the most hair-raising, unproven, terroristic versions of the climate change issue, and it’s only answer to surging increases in violent crime is the tired Democratic mantra about gun control. The firearms don’t discharge themselves and are now mainly used for self-defense and deterrence. It is legally and politically impossible to reduce significantly the immense number of firearms in the country and the sophistry about what constitutes an “assault weapon” will not achieve anything. Attempts to reduce the supply of ammunition will just increase the supply of illegally manufactured or imported ammunition.
If strict gun controls that already exist were properly enforced in the most crime-ridden areas of the country, the effect would be benign. But there is no sign that the Democratic administrations in the crime-swarmed cities have the will to undertake such a controversial act in the “defund-the-police” era, or that Washington will encourage such measures.
Only an unrepresentative method of calculating the rate of inflation keeps it beneath the level of eight to nine percent, which is an accurate rate for most members of the public affected by the cost of gasoline, home fuel, and building materials.
The great Democratic effort to seize permanent control of elections by dispensing with any voter-verification system, replace references to the courts with a partisan election commission, and encourage ballot-harvesting (in addition to admitting masses of illegals and directing their votes) is not going to be adopted. The Democrats suddenly have discovered that voter identification is not a bad idea after all, but the media will not be holding their feet to the fire because until last week voter ID was “Jim Crow 2.0.”
The media still locks arms to deny that there is any taint or question about the 2020 presidential election. The Wall Street Journal’s John Bussey gave their civilized anti-Trump conservative line on Fox News on Sunday: the variants will bring back COVID (meaning the Fauci Terror will reign again) and that will be “a headwind” for Trump, whose argument against the integrity of 2020 election was “unfounded.” Bussey uttered this with catechetical conviction, but of course, it is not unfounded and concern about it is ineradicable.
Only the continuing momentum of Trump-hate still prevents the media from reporting seriously about this ramshackle regime led by someone who can scarcely utter an English sentence and a vice president who responds to all questions with a stream of monosyllables followed by gales of demented laughter.
Comedian Jon Stewart has gently and humorously pointed out that the coronavirus probably did escape from the Wuhan Virological Institute in China; Bill Maher has warned his leftist comrades of the dangers of “progressophobia.” America’s anti-Trump sweetheart, Peggy Noonan, advised her readers in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend that the Left has gone too far. Having written that less than a year after the Democrats’ BLM ally incinerated much of urban America in “peaceful demonstrations,” buyers’ remorse cannot be too far off. Noonan was one of the huge wave of people who placed their dislike of Trump above the aggregation of almost every serious policy issue.
The issue isn’t really that the Left has only now gone too far—they were even more sociopathically extreme in the five months preceding the election, and promised to “burn down this system” if they didn’t get everything they wanted at once (according to New York BLM co-founder Hawk Newsome).
The Democrats promised open borders, massive spending, and were neutral about police funding with a lot of fatuous bunk about sending out psychologists and social workers on 911 calls. Biden was clear about returning to the Paris Climate Accord, the World Health Organization, and the Iran nuclear deal. It isn’t that the Left is overplaying its hand; it is that the snobbery of the American minority triumphed over rational analysis of public policy options.
A very questionable result emerged. The judiciary abdicated from the supreme responsibility of assuring an honest election of the country’s highest office-holders, and the entire media establishment tried to stamp out the dirty public secret that the vote was tampered with in quantities adequate to flip the result in several of the six swing states where miraculous complexities arose, including lop-sided vote-drops in Mark Zuckerberg’s infamous dropboxes at 4 a.m. and other efforts to “fortify” the result.
As the otherwise sane enablers and cheerleaders for the victory of this hollow administration blinkingly begin to see the result of their work, the default fantasyland of Trumpism without Trump arises. But it does not exist, never did, and is unlikely to come to life now.
Trump did not give a particularly good address to CPAC in Dallas on Sunday: there was too much blustering and vague accusations, even for him. But he again made the points that the election was probably stolen and the Biden Administration is a disaster mitigated only by the quieter political atmosphere that has naturally resulted from replacing a deafening human tornado with a waxworks dummy.
Trump predicted a total failure in Afghanistan, and blasted the military for extravagance. He showed considerable forbearance in not focusing on the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, General Mark Milley. Milley’s performance in denouncing the president’s walk to St. John’s Church across from the White House, which rioters had tried to burn down, in a gesture of the administration’s refusal to tolerate mob rule, was a disgrace. There is a rising sentiment in the country that for all the indulgence they have received, the Pentagon has failed to protect America’s Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and principal bases against hypersonic Chinese and Russian missiles, and there is increased skepticism that they did the best possible in the 20 years they were in Afghanistan.
Everything appears to be topsy-turvy: the chairman of the joint chiefs and the chairman of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, made almost identical statements about critical race theory. The Democrats now claim the Republicans are the ones who wished to defund the police, and now they suddenly have discovered the virtue of voter identification, which, up until yesterday, they had been shrieking from the roof-tops was tantamount to the restoration of slavery. Apparently, it’s not Jim Crow after all.
The media are so absurdly partisan they will try to allow the Democrats a free pass across the barricades on those issues. But the accumulating disasters for the Biden Administration will not be entirely absorbed by the (agonizingly slow) return to work of Americans after COVID and the miracle of the Warp Speed vaccine development, (for which Trump must receive no credit). The media can’t cover for this “Gong Show” administration indefinitely, but I must admit they have lasted longer than I expected, given their invertebrate response to almost everything else.
They can keep this charade going for as long as they want. They have already lost their viewers. Huge corporations will still spend at least some advertising money on them, and these media outlets are often related to other ventures that do make money. Maybe they are going broke from being woke, but it’s a very slow process, and they are fine with that.
They have nothing else to cover
Meanwhile nothing much is happening
Events in Texas are more historically significant than events in Washington DC
True. In addition to being comically incompetent, Biden and Harris are boring. Cuba is the most interesting thing going on, along with Texas. Those things are difficult for them to cover.
Of course they can, because as long as he’s on this side of the dirt they have no alternative. Even in the highly unlikely event a majority of the Cabinet would invoke the 25th amendment the dems know Harris would be worse and there’s no way she could win against Trump. Even the crooked election officials wouldn’t vote for her.
Sure they can.
All they have to do is say “IF Creepy Uncle Joe goes, you get Harris.” Biden is better than Harris, if for no other reasons than he isn’t really running things. People are running things for him, and friction between them slows the rate at which they inflict damage.
Harris on the other hand is too stupid to realize that she is stupid. The amount of destruction she would wreak would exceed even what Slow Joe is causing.
Yes they can. Their coverage of the "Gong Show" administration will last as long as the "Gong Show" administration lasts. The writer of the article will be silenced long before the media changes.

The Ministry of Propaganda has one job, to lie.
What we are fighting is the unholy union of out intelligence agencies, the the entrenched bureaucratic dynasties of old D.C. families who are no longer culturally American, and the leftist NGOs the lavishly fund with our money. These cretins have allied with any group that seeks the destruction of our constitutional system.
This grifter class has been culturally isolated from regular Americans so long that they see themselves as citizens of a global so-called “elite” composed of old money and the ruling classes of other countries. They have attended the same private schools and universities, vacation in the same highly exclusive resorts, live in the same neighborhoods, work in the same multinational corporations, and, they have intermarried to form transnational extended families. They are no longer American in upbringing, culture, or creed and have learned to despise his as the “other”. Our “betters” have joined with others around the world to from a new tribe and they plan now to become an international aristocracy and to reimpose a re-branded feudalism and have nothing but evil planned for us.
The inbred idiots leading us have been incorporated by the other global elite and, being the junior members, our "leaders" are buying their way by trading in our prosperity and enslaving us for their acceptance.
They will not get away with stealing our culture, our freedoms, and our country.
