Biden’s Border Blunder: A Tale of Neglect and Carelessness
During his tenure, President Trump achieved a significant milestone in just half a year – the complete termination of undisciplined immigration, and all without any fanciful promise of ‘comprehensive immigration reform’. Yet, the sheer number of undocumented immigrants who navigated their way into the country in the last four years (estimated to be between 10 to 12 million) presents an uphill challenge in locating and deporting them. Disturbingly, the very people who had a hand in eroding the rule of law, intentionally or through neglect, are now vocal advocates of the immorality of adhering to federal immigration laws.
While it remains shrouded in mystery whether the advisors to former President Joe Biden had willingly mutilated their own border control strategy for political or demographic benefits or whether they were simply driven by outright carelessness, the results speak for themselves. Several icons revered by the political left, including extravagant subsidies under the Green New Deal, the diversity/equity/inclusion field, biological men participating in women’s sports, and the USAID rotation, show signs of either stagnation or decline.
Furthermore, the drastic decline in military enlistment observed prior to Trump’s term saw an abrupt turnaround following his assuming office. Concurrently, the Democratic Party has seen a fall in registrations whereas the Republican Party witnesses a surge. International politics also flourished under Trump’s leadership, with ceasefires brokered in regions marred by persistent conflicts, including India and Pakistan, Iraq and Somalia, Cambodia and Thailand, Rwanda and Congo, Serbia and Kosovo, and Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Contrary to what seemed likely during Biden’s term, Iran will not procure a nuclear weapon within the next four years. Furthermore, the forces of terror that plagued the Middle East, including Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, have significantly mellowed down since President Trump’s inauguration in January.
There have been some advancements in drafting a blueprint for a ceasefire in the Ukraine War inherited by Trump. However, the stumbling block now is to ascertain the requisite firepower to convince Russia, experiencing over a million casualties already, that its dictatorship’s longevity faces imminent threat more than Ukraine’s destruction. The dissolution of the burgeoning China/India/Russia alliance hinges on these negotiations.
On the home front, the economy remains resilient, reinforced by record-low gas prices and persistent advancements in all forms of energy production. Economic indicators such as GDP, inflation, unemployment, and the stock market continue to hold strong against claims of impending crises. Predictions of an impending recession or rampant inflation whispers faintly in the corridors.
The impact of Trump’s tariffs, obstructed due to the injunctions by left-leaning district judges, and the promised influx of upwards of $10 trillion in foreign investments are areas that remain to be fully comprehended. The potential success of Trump’s policies will greatly rely on factors such as a reduction in interest rates, the Republican Party retaining power in the midterm elections, and curbing the unchecked power of the non-elected left-leaning lower court judges who are at the risk of shredding the constitution and running the nation in contradiction to the popular mandate.
Democratic opposition lacks a coherent agenda, a responsible leadership team in the wings, and a will to gear up constructive bipartisan legislation. Their strategy mirrors that of the kamikaze, aiming to annihilate Trump while inadvertently leading to their own party’s decline. The Democratic Party, under duress to prove as unpleasant and offensive as possible in their demonization of Trump, seem to be banking on the tested strategy of inciting mass hysteria so profound that it paralyses the electorate, forcing them to plead for a cessation of this toxic political war.
Toppling the bill, Kamala Harris drifts unanchored, devoid of an office, a popular base, an audience, and a coherent thought process. Ensuring her political survival requires Harris to keep up her public appearances and speeches, despite fully acknowledging that the more people hear her disjointed talks, the more they will be reminded of her colossal failure in 2024.
Tailing this melee, the head of the Democratic Party, Ken Martin, has embarked on a tirade of terming Trump as a fascist. However, Martin provides no yardstick for this label. Does his political agenda include upsetting established norms by abolishing the filibuster, the Electoral College, overriding the long-standing number of Supreme Court justices, or inflating the Senate by introducing new states?
Are federal and state public prosecutors, like Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Jack Smith, and Fani Willis, in cahoots with the White House and DOJ to unleash justice on Trump’s present foes, like Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, or Josh Shapiro or are they simply selectively proactive? Are former conservative CIA contractors and spooks speculating about Newsom or Harris working in alliance with Russia, China, or any of our adversaries, based on substantial evidence or is this mere conjecture?
The greatest fear of the Democratic Party seems to lie in the possibility that their own long-term excesses in executive orders, vendetta-driven litigation, subversion of lower court authorities, unnecessary state interference in federal law, and federal encroachment in areas of higher education, energy sectors, and national parks, have inadvertently empowered Trump and could be volleyed back towards them, with the public relishing this turn of political karma.
