Rep. Keith Self: In the Face of a Black Swan Event, History is on Our Side

President Biden has signaled to the world that America is weak. With feckless leaders like Vice President Kamala Harris and cabinet Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas joining him, it is no wonder that Biden’s resolve is being tested by our adversaries.

Catherine Herridge, a former senior investigative reporter for CBS News, lit up the interwebs in December with an ominous prediction. Herridge stated, “I just feel a lot of concern that 2024 may be the year of a black swan event. This is a national security event with high impact that’s very hard to predict.”

She is not alone in her thinking. “Black swan” is becoming more and more probable with each passing day that the Biden administration projects weakness. Even the intelligence community is alert to the prospects that a crisis may be coming to America.

As the probabilities increase, the anticipation grows with regard to financial collapse, widespread cyberattacks or a Deep State declared “national emergency”. Toss in the fact that it’s an election year, and the conditions are indeed suitable for a black swan event.

The Biden administration’s flawed policies have led to the atrophy of American muscle. Our military is wasting away under the strain of DEI initiatives that divert vital resources away from lethality. Our strategic petroleum reserves have been depleted.

The border is open to terrorists, foreign military-age males and the dregs of other societies. The once vibrant Trump economy is spiraling downward due to record inflation, and out-of-control government spending.

Sadly, the far left is not solely to blame. Weak-kneed Republicans, who campaigned as conservatives, are refusing to engage in the fight to prevent the radical transformation of America. Just last Friday for example, 101 Republicans joined autocratic Democrats to pass a $1.2 trillion omnibus package that funds the very programs at the core of

Incompetence and malice is not a black swan. But it is the same result.

Whatever happens, Biden and his bosses will “not let a crisis go to waste”.

As it seems to rulers of enemy states more and more likely that Trump might be the US President after next January the window for grabbing off territory or is getting narrow and Iran may well decide it is time to proclaim and enforce rule over the ME between Egypt and Azerbaijan or China may make its move to clear American forces out of the West Pacific and Indian Oceans. or Russia may go for reconstituting its hegemony over the Balkans and Baltic states. Or Russia ma feel time is short to take on the USA directly by knocking out all our communication satellites quickly then make a major move.
