WE HAVE TO HANG ON FOR DEAR LIFE

I just watched Biden giving a speech on the reason we are having inflation. His contention is that there are two reasons for our inflation. Number one, he says, was the worldwide pandemic caused by Covid. His second reason was, in his words, Putin's war on Ukraine.  

 

Now, while both of these situations are bad, they are not the reason we are suffering this inflation. The first problem is he announced this to the world and the second big problem is that Biden might actually believe what he's saying. By placing the blame on these events, he relieves himself and his administration of the true blame. It also basically guarantees inflation will be with us for a long time. 

 

His words should prove to all who listened that this job is too big for Joe Biden. All includes Republicans and Democrats alike. He has been in and around politics in Washington for about fifty years. That should have given him sufficient knowledge to deal with these issues. It reminds me of my guitar playing. I have played the guitar for maybe seventy years, but I didn't learn anything new after the first year. So, I have been replaying my first year for seventy years. Those of you who have heard me play understand what I'm saying.

 

Now we are going to play the game "What If". What if Trump had not lost the election? Let's consider inflation. Trump would not have canceled the Keystone Pipeline or stopped drilling on public lands. Gasoline and diesel would be the same price as two years ago. We would still be energy independent and actually selling oil and gas to Europe, not begging some Middle Eastern dictator to sell us oil. Do you realize how much of our economy revolves around the cost and availability of fuel? Today diesel fuel costs around $5.50 a gallon. It is obvious who has to pay for this fuel. I saw a bumper sticker recently that said, "if you have it, it was brought to you by a trucker." Diesel fuel has more than doubled under Biden. Thanks Joe. 

 

But Ron. What about the war in Ukraine? Ok, who among you actually believes Putin would have attacked Ukraine if Trump were in the white House? He probably is crazy, but he's not stupid. Trump made our position clear to the entire world. Sadly, so has Biden. The difference is unmistakable. Trump conveyed strength and Biden's demeanor and presentations display weakness. Putin sees that. In fact, the whole world sees that. I firmly believe if Trump were still in the White House, Putin and his thug army would still be in Russia happily guzzling vodka.

 

Let's consider the southern border. If Trump were still in office we wouldn't be having a crisis there. First, by now, the border fence would probably be completed. The illegal aliens would have a much more difficult time invading this country. The illegal drugs that are pouring across that border would be greatly hampered. Remember, Trump had an agreement with Mexico that these illegals would have to stay in Mexico until their court cases could be heard. The Biden administration has done everything in their power to eliminate all things Trump and it is biting them in their posterior. 

 

For the sake of this country Biden has to be removed. If Harris proves to be the incompetent that she has displayed so far, we remove her too. In November we elect adults who have the intelligence to do the jobs. Until then we hang on for dear life.
