President Joe Biden honored the nation's war dead on Memorial Day by taking part in a solemn ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery where he said Americans have long fought for 'rule of the people' and warned of aspirations for 'autocracy' and dictatorship.

'Democracy itself is in peril – here at home and around the world,' Biden cautioned.

'A struggle for democracy is taking place around the world,' Biden said in a 23 minute speech at Arlington. 'Democracy means the rule of the people. The rule of the people. Not the rule of monarchs. Not the rule of the money,' he continued.

Constitutional Republic is holding on by a thread here at home. To Joey-Joe-Joe democracy means being allowed to count the vote himself.

What a repulsive excuse for a human being. Dear Lord smite this loser and the rest of his well orchestrated and funded cabal.

Nor is it rule of self-appointed elite who cheat at elections to get in office. And that would be an oligarchy, which we are now living under.

So here’s an idea.

Have transparent HONEST elections.

Two-faced.

Even after it has become OK and chic for lefties to bring their marxism out into the open, the Cadaver-in-Chief
1. made it through the speech with decent fluency, and
2. read a speech that could easily have been voiced by Truman, IKE, LBJ, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, either Bush or DJT himself.

Admittedly, some of the code words, such as liberty, justice, fairness, etc., would have to be interpreted. Otherwise, the speech was downright benign.

IF we were a democracy......but we’re not. If people don’t understand the basic form of government we have they can’t address the real problems at hand.

Joe Biden is a fraud, a complete fraud. Trump's "lies" were typically exaggerations, misquoted statistics, unfulfilled aspirations, opinions on disputed issues, errors about trivia, or misquotes or deliberate misinterpretations of what he actually said.

Biden's lies are lies about basic policy issues and the fundamental direction and goals of his presidency.

BidAn had no events scheduled on Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, just an "in pool" event on Sunday. And schedule-wise, the day itself doesn't even exist.
