Victor Davis Hanson: Joe Biden is no Dwight D. Eisenhower
The Daily Signal YT ^ | Jan 21 2025 | victor davis hanson

Posted on 01/22/2025 6:22:44 AM PST by texas booster

On today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” a Daily Signal original, Hanson critically analyzes Joe Biden's farewell address, pointing out the hypocrisy in Biden's warnings about a new oligarchy. Hanson compares Biden's speech to Dwight D. Eisenhower's historic warning about the military-industrial complex and argues Biden lacks credibility.

“But remember Joe Biden is no Dwight Eisenhower. He had credibility. He was a two-term president. He was the hero of what he called the American crusade in Europe, from the beaches of Normandy in June 1944, all the way into the interior of Germany. So, people believed him. Unfortunately, Joe Biden has no such credibility.”

”I'm not a big fan of Mark Zuckerberg, and he was a hostile opponent of Donald Trump, but whether you like him or not, he revolutionized Facebook. So, these so-called oligarchs, David Sachs, or Peter Thiel, or Elon Musk, or Mark Zuckerberg, or Jeff Bezos, they are ‘can-do’ people. And Trump has them around him now. They're making kind of a hajj to Mar-a-Lago, not because he wants to have some consortium and rig the market or punish his enemies, but because they make things.”

Joe Biden is not, nor has he ever been, a sentient human being.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

They're very similar to the captains of industry, the ‘dollar-a-day’ men, that Franklin Delano Roosevelt enlisted to win World War II.

Prof Hanson video take on the "oligarchs" that Biden warned about. Except the oligarch Soros.

Trump will do the kind of deportations that Ike did, perhaps 10 times as much.

Biden was the proof to the normies of what a sham our Republic has become.

Release the JFK, RFK, and UFO files next and once ALL faith in government is lost — shut down Dept of Energy, fire ALL of the DOJ and relaunch it under the new name:

FEDERAL JUSTICE BUREAU.

F.J.B.

Get them all new jacket and t-shirts that say that.

:-)

“Joe Biden is no Dwight Eisenhower”. That has to rank in the top 10 for Statements of the Obvious.

Ike’s warning about the military-industrial complex was prophetic. It may have been the reason JFK was assassinated. Maybe we’ll find out in a few days shocking new information about his death.

Biden wouldn't even qualify to lick Eisenhowers boots. Eisenhower was a great man. Biden at his best was a low life thief and two bit hustler who belonged in prison.

I would like President Trump to bring about Truth and Reconciliation. When East Germany fell, the citizens were allowed to view the Stasi files. I think that all Americans should be allowed to have the FBI hand over the original copy files they have on them, unredacted. Let the people see who ratted them out and what false or salacious information the FBI has on them. Additionally, if someone has their name in the FBI data base and has not been convicted of a felony, they should be allowed to demand that their name be removed from that data base.

Biden’s speech reminded of those famous lines from Hamlet.. “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”
