In the waning days of
the Trump administration, the country was showing signs of economic
improvement, people were feeling more confident about battling COVID, and the
border was relatively secure as the wall was finally being constructed.
What a difference seven
months can make. It has been a horrific 207 days since President Joe
Biden and his radical administration were unleashed on the country.
In effect, a political
apocalypse is approaching. In the New Testament Book of Revelation,
the four horsemen of the apocalypse are revealed to be "Conquest, War,
Famine, and Death." In the Old Testament Book of Ezekiel, the
four horsemen are referred to as "sword, famine, wild beasts, and
plague."
In the era of Joe Biden,
the four horsemen of our political apocalypse are the border invasion, the
economic catastrophe, the assault on our families, and the use of the COVID
plague to eliminate our constitutional rights.
1. Invasion. Biden
inherited a secure border and immediately decided to destroy the progress of President
Donald Trump and create an unmitigated disaster for Americans. The
border wall was foolishly stopped, the policy of "catch and release"
was reinstituted, the "Remain in Mexico" policy was ended, and
illegal aliens were given an invitation to enter the United States.
As a result, the flood
of illegal aliens has been unprecedented. The number of new
apprehensions is increasing each month at the border, reaching the highest
level in 25 years in July. Over 210,000 illegal aliens were apprehended
on the southern border last month. Simultaneously, an untold number
of people have been entering the country without detection. Coupled
with ongoing legal immigration efforts, the United States of America is being
radically and quickly transformed.
These illegal aliens are
not being tested for COVID, are not being vaccinated, and are being sent all
over the country. This is spreading the virus across the country
while cynically changing the demographics of many "red" states. Although
most citizens living in these areas are opposed to this resettlement, they have
been powerless to stop it.
2. Catastrophe. Upon
entering office, Biden should have continued Trump-era economic policies that
were working. Instead, he stopped the construction of the Keystone
XL pipeline and displacing thousands of workers from their
jobs. Biden also placed a moratorium on the issuance of new oil and
gas drilling leases on federal territory, both onshore and offshore.
As a result, America is
transitioning from being energy independent for the first time in decades,
under President Trump, to being energy-dependent once
again. Ironically, Biden is now asking OPEC members to increase
their oil production.
Biden has also happily
supported radical legislation in Congress that will add to the national debt
while spending trillions of dollars that will create severe inflationary woes
in our county. During the Biden administration, prices on a wide
range of items such as gasoline, lumber, and groceries are rapidly escalating. This
has created the sharpest rise in inflation in 20 years.
If it passes in the U.S.
House of Representatives, the new $1.2-trillion "infrastructure" bill
that just was approved in the U.S. Senate will be an economic
disaster. It includes very little real infrastructure, but it does
include tax increases, at least $256 billion in additional federal debt that
will exacerbate inflationary pressures, and a grab bag of liberal
proposals. The bill advocates zero-emission vehicles, combats "racist"
highways, and for good measure uses the word "equity" 64 times.
It sets the stage for an
even bigger monstrosity, the "human infrastructure" bill that will
cost over $3.5 trillion. It is being advertised as a de facto
"Green New Deal" that will include a staggering number of climate
change initiatives. The economic chaos that such a bill will
institute is mind-boggling to contemplate.
3. Assault. Across
America, our cities are on fire as crime is exploding. An increasing
number of innocent Americans are being victimized each
day. Incredibly, liberal politicians have used the opportunity to
demand the defunding of police departments. This has only increased
the number of police officers resigning and retiring. As a result,
police departments are understaffed, and recruitment is becoming extremely
difficult in urban areas that are viewed as being anti-police.
The answer, according to
Biden and the Democrats, is always more gun control and never more criminal
control.
Citizens are unsafe on
the streets of our cities, and our children are unsafe in our public-school
classrooms. Families are facing hostile environments in schools as
teachers are using Critical Race Theory to educate students about American
history. Instead of celebrating the greatness of our founding
documents and the uniqueness of our system of government, teachers are
demonizing our Founding Fathers and casting blame on white Americans for racism
and unfair treatment of minorities. In many schools, students are
being separated by race, and white students are being made to feel guilty for
the color of their skin. While parents are expressing their anger,
too many school boards remain committed to the divisive curriculum.
4. Plague. Schools are
also one of the focal points of the insane battle over how to deal with the
COVID pandemic. Teacher unions and Biden officials are touting masks
in classrooms, while a growing number of parents are fighting this nonsense at
school board meetings across the country.
The Biden administration
is not stopping at mask mandates but is considering COVID vaccine requirements
for all Americans. The Defense Department will be requiring vaccines
for all the members of the respective branches. This obligation will
be enforced starting in mid-September.
The president has also
mandated vaccinations for members of the United States Department of Veterans'
Affairs. Surely other government agencies will face similar mandates
in the foreseeable future.
Whenever he addresses
the media, Biden pushes vaccinations on the public. He implies that
unvaccinated Americans are not only unpatriotic but also contributing to the
deaths of their fellow citizens. In addition, the president is
actively encouraging businesses to implement vaccine mandates at their workplaces.
All these initiatives
are quite disturbing, as Americans should have medical privacy and the right to
make their own health decisions. In a "free" country, a
citizen should not be forced to inject any sort of experimental vaccine into
his body. Americans should have the freedom to say "no,"
without any negative repercussions.
Individually, each of
the four horsemen of the Biden apocalypse is extremely
worrisome. Unfortunately, Americans are facing all four of them
simultaneously.
In addition, we must
deal with a mentally incompetent president; a biased press; social media sites
that censor conservatives; and a "woke" corporate, entertainment,
and Big Technology culture that are promoting these dangerous trends in our
country.
It is crunch time for
America, and "We the People" must stand up to protect our rights, our
families, and our futures. This Biden agenda must be stopped
immediately. Otherwise, we can say goodbye to America and say hello
to Venezuela.
