OBAMA 2.0

Have you been paying attention to Biden's cabinet picks? I have. It's Obama 2.0. Including none other than the valor stealing, medal tossing, war deserter, John Heinz Kerry. If Ocasio Cortez and Bernie thought they were going to get Biden to commit political suicide by adopting their socialist agenda, they best rethink that pipedream. 

 

Before Biden is done he will have offered jobs to every unemployable political hack in Washington. He is refilling the swamp, and it appears there is no shortage of swamp dwellers to choose from. Fortunately, there will be another election in two years and the healing can begin, again.

 

Now for my predictions. First, I believe both of the Republican Senatorial candidates in Georgia will win their run-off elections in January. Their opposition is beyond lame and downright dangerous. 

 

Next, I do not believe the Democrats are anxious to return Pelosi to the Speakership. There will be, at the very least, a royal battle. Regardless of whom the Democrats go for, the Republicans will pick up enough seats in the next election to be the majority party and will then pick their own Speaker.

 

I further predict that the Senate will see a net gain of several Republicans in the next election. Certainly enough to neutralize the so-called progressives. I also believe Biden secretly hopes they do to give him a firewall against the squad and the Bernie crowd. It will also be a firewall against Democrat leftist nonsense.

 

Essentially Biden will have just two years to screw up everything before the Republicans come back to repair the damage. 

 

When you examine the Washington scene, what we are seeing is the good old boy network. I believe they see themselves as the ruling elite. That is the primary reason Trump was so despised. He wasn't one of them and wouldn't play by their rules. I have heard talk of him running again in 2024. I sincerely doubt that. He has given enough to this country. He should just return to his billionaire lifestyle and give the naysayers his middle finger. 

 

Elections have consequences for a certainty. The country makes their choices and lives with the result. It is painfully obvious what the consequences of this last election will be. At the very least we will see the third term of Barack Obama. If, like me, you didn't like the first two terms, you absolutely will not like the third. 

 

Basically, the only real hope we as a country have, is to retain the Senate. If Biden has the Senate and the House, the damage they will create will take years to repair. The economy will be the first victim. Next will be our status as a world power. Finally, citizenship will lose its value as millions of illegal aliens will be ushered into citizenship. 

 

What has always amazed me about the Democrats is they continue to do the same old things they have always done expecting a different result. Some call that the definition of insanity. It just never works. 

 

We do have the good fortune of a Constitutionally committed majority in the Supreme Court. Thank you, President Trump. That will also slow the leftist movement of some in this country. And no, the Democrats will not pack the court. They would have to have a lot of help from moderate legislators to accomplish that and it doesn't exist. 

 

We just have to toughen up and survive two years of crap before we have to fix it again.
