The Biden administration's agendas may have fundamentally changed the country for decades, if not longer—and will require tough remedies that may be almost as unpopular as the wreckage they wrought.
Most Americans believe it is unhinged to deliberately destroy the border and allow 10 million illegal aliens to enter the country without background audits, means of support, any claims to legal residency, and definable skills. And worse still, why would federal authorities be ordered to release repeat violent felons who have gone on to commit horrendous crimes against American citizens?
Equally perplexing to most Americans is borrowing $1 trillion every 90 days and paying 5-5.5% interest on the near $36 trillion in ballooning national debt. Serving that debt at current interest exceeds the size of the annual defense budget and may soon top $1 trillion in interest costs, or more than 13% of the budget.
Why would the United States suspend military aid to Israel as it tries to destroy the Hamas architects of the October 7 massacres? Why would it lift sanctions on a terrorist Iran? Why would it suppress Israel’s response to Iran’s missile attack on the Jewish homeland? Why would it prevent Israel from stockpiling key munitions as it prepares to deal with the existential threats posed by Hezbollah?
Why would the Biden administration cancel key pipeline projects and put vast swaths of federal lands rich in oil and gas off limits to production, even as it further drains the strategic petroleum reserve? Why not pump rather than drain our own oil from strategic stockpiles?
Why would the Biden White House’s counsel’s office meet with Nathan Wade, the former paramour chief prosecutor in the Fani Willis Fulton County prosecution of Donald Trump? Why would the third-ranking prosecutor in the Biden Justice Department step down to lead Alvin...

Why would Biden have the Nordstream II pipeline to Germany blown up?
VDH ping.
Why? Because they can. Deceptive, irrational, life-destroying EVIL unchecked.

Dinesh D’ Souza goes to root of it in his Obama’s America film.
“Why would Biden have the Nordstream II pipeline to Germany blown up?”
Don’t believe he did.
Follow the money: Putin blew the pipeline to create a Force Majur to reset NG contracts so Russia could benefit from higher NG rates following the UKR invasion. It didn’t hurt Russia as Russia has many pipelines to countries which can trans ship to Europe. It just needed to create a lack of supply beyond contracted delivery agreements to spike the rates - which blowing the pipeline accomplished.
"Unhinged"?!?!?!?
It's TREASON!!!!!
Victor still can’t bring himself to admit that global and domestic powers are united in bringing the US down.
There he is up in Palo Alto for decades—and he still can’t see the evil emanating from Silicon Valley.
Yes, it makes sense. They ARE trying to destroy America.
He correctly thinks the purpose is to fundamentally and irrevocably transform America. He’s right.
He says tax hikes and inflation to deal with the debt are possible options. What I suggest are tax caps.
Fighting now in Congress to send a middle-class income and property tax cap constitutional amendments to the states would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red come November.
[perhaps]
Federal income taxation shall be capped as follows, on personal income:
below the average yearly apartment rent in the District of Columbia, 10%,
below the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 22%,
below the average employee compensation of the 100,000 best paid federal full-time civilian employees, 30%,
below the average employee compensation of the 10,000 best paid federal full-time civilian employees, 40%.
[Note: All percentages to include employee FICA. They would not fully include self-employment tax, so people that pay SE tax might choose to voluntarily invest in the SS system or otherwise arrange for their own retirement funding.]
[Anything that the IRS would as of January 1, 2024 legally be able to collect income tax on if provided to any person would be considered compensation.]
Property tax on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished space shall be no higher the 2019 dollar amount on the property, or for a newer or since resold property what a similar property in the same area would have been taxed at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished living space.
I think it’s a “religion” for some of these people.
It comes off as if they want a “New World Order” - to hand it to a “messiah”
Even the United Nations has a statue - “Beating their swords into plowshares” - they don’t understand the timelines and events
In the end, they will hand a “New World Order” to Satan’s (anti)”messiah”
But you won’t be able to convince them otherwise.
Until then, the end justifies the means (in their minds)
That’s how I read it.
“They ARE trying to destroy America.”
Some RINOs are trying to buy their way into heaven with your money.

So the left believes that its new lawfare was well worth the destruction of the entire tradition of equality under the law: 1) Donald Trump has lost a half-billion dollars in fines and legal fees; 2) a court-bound Donald Trump was robbed of weeks of valuable campaign time; 3) Donald Trump can be forever now libeled as a “convicted felon”; and 4) the left has played chicken with the American Constitution and believes it has won, given conservatives would never enter into a destructive cycle of tit-for-tat.
