What Happened to Build Back Better???

 Feel free to add to the following list....

The entire world is in varying degrees of turmoil. US soldiers are under attack here and there across the globe and no one seems to give a hoot about Biden's "Don't". Has the US become the laughing stock of the globe under what appears to be the short-sighted and seemingly wimpy leadership of the current administration? 

Shortly after taking office (the first day actually), Biden put tens of thousands of Americans out of work (many of them from my State) and... in this made the United states no longer energy independent, but actually dependent in-part upon terrorist enemies and in-part on the importation of the "dirty oil" of South America.  He then worked to deepen our dependence upon China -- a dubious connection to be sure. He gave and continues to give American taxpayer dollars to Iran. Added to this is the concern of his family ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the fondness of the Biden family for "gifts" of money from foreign sources... and that is perhaps just scratching the surface of ugly.  It does not inspire confidence. "Follow the money." "... in the end the truth will out."  Please.

To continue... Biden pulls our troops out of Afghanistan leaving Americans and friends of America behind while, at the same time, deserting military bases and leaving billions of dollars worth of functional military weapons and equipment in the hands of enemies. Short-sighted to say the least. Shameful. Deeply shameful. Leaving Americans behind is not the American way.  

More and more the election system is found to be corrupt. New evidence of this fraud appears almost every week.  How much election tampering is acceptable?  I say none. Apparently others disagree. I heard Biden say that "they" have a fraud team. I think he said it was excellent and then smiled the way he does. Is that open to interpretation? It is. That is not his only gaffe perhaps. (That particular smile always gives me the creeps -- almost as much as his whispering for emphasis.  Can't help it.)  I feel that he is not on my side.  Isn't he to be the President of all American people?  How did he get so rich, by the way?  On his salary for the past 50 years?  Doubt it. 

Both the northern and southern borders are proven to be far too open. Hard working Americans are now paying the living expenses of and for "treats" for illegal aliens, some of whom now just want to go back home finding that this is not the American of the American Dream or because they don't like the cold of ... say -- Chicago. Where has the lawful America gone? Citizens have to follow the rules. Illegal immigrants do not. What? Biden now wants to sacrifice our National Parks to house illegals. Think of it... National Parks as camping grounds for the homeless who entered the country because they could... because Biden opened the doors and ordered them kept open. Disturbing. What is his motivation? 

Homelessness and crime metastasize under Biden.  Veterans are mistreated. Again... shameful.

Protestors glue their hands to streets, building, paintings and think they are not stupid, but righteous. Duh.... Since Biden took office, "Peaceful" demonstrations have cost at least 19 Americans their lives, as well as over 2 billion dollars in damages. Shoplifting goes unpunished as do many other more serious crimes. It's insanity. Further -- People blindly protest things they really know nothing about. If they find themselves face to face those who committed sexual atrocities, murder, and hostage torture in Israel with glee on October 7th and on, they may realize their mistake in their blind support of Hamas. Let's call it what it is. These are not just terrorists that the world is dealing with. These are people who victimize innocent men, women and children and enjoy the pain they inflict.

The bad guys seem to run the show.  They do everything that they          accuse the opposition of doing ... and seem to get away with it. You can start here with Hillary Clinton's henchmen and the whole made up story of Russian influence.  Newsom, who leads a state that has come to be  known for homelessness, filthy trash, and not enough energy to keep the lights on is now touted to be a good candidate for President.  Yikes...  Too slick Hollywood for me. Remember this is the man who sent his kids to private school during his lockdown of an entire state, and sat unmasked and laughing while eating at an expensive restaurant with his elite friends while people were wondering how they could even get food into their homes while locked in.

Many, including me, have been unsure of who is actually running the country - this since the beginning of Biden's term of office. He does not inspire confidence. He keeps himself removed from the American people. Once a basement dweller, he now doesn't talk with the American people or address them when important things are happening all over the world. He makes no attempt to be forthright or comforting to the people he works for ... and for clarification ... he works for all American citizens. That is you. That is me.  He appears to be a President of the beach chair, ice cream cones,  and naps.  I, for one, am tired of seeing the back of his head as he walks/shuffles away from important questions. It's discouraging.  Don't we as citizens deserve to know the answers to important questions?  The answer is: We Do. I personally am already sick of the fear mongering that his party is doing now in preparation for the upcoming Presidential election.  Beware... don't let them manipulate you.... They are masters at that.  Keep people afraid and they will obey.  Don't fall for it. They are coming for you... again. We all deserve better.

Those in power are trying to eliminate the free speech of those              who disagree with them. Need proof?  Check out the silencing of the farmers in Michigan. They were not allowed to speak against legislation that Witmer pushed through... legislation that affected their livelihood and the future growth of important, life-sustaining crops. 

Those in power spread disinformation in cahoots with much of the main stream media.  People long for truth and don't know where to look for it. Troubling times for the truth seeker. Some of what used to be called conspiracy theory with great self-righteous distain is now being determined to be true. 

Name calling, racism, anti-Semitism anti-Islamism are rampant -- fueled by the left -- even from the mouths of elected officials spoken from their seats of power. Half of the Democrats in our House of Representatives voted against the condemnation of anti-Semitism. Ignorance is rampant. Positions of power are filled with candidates based on characteristics that have nothing to do with competency. Gone for now are the days of selecting the person best qualified for the job.  Those in power like to chose by groups rather than by looking at the individual to see if they can do the job.  We are suffering across the board from this policy. The evidence is all around you.  Please look. 

Our country is painfully divided.  Does anyone trust anyone? Who is there to trust? How does one know who is trustworthy? Does the current administration take any responsibility in dividing the nation into groups and putting them against one another?  No, but they are the ones who focus on grouping. Example? They have put aside that all lives matter.  And while I am at it.  Where are all the voices in support of the innocent men, women, and children of Israel taken captive, tortured, and killed in October and on? The silence is deafening.

What in the world is going on?  Can we fix it?  Is there power in the vote? Area we able to Make America Great Again?  We will see.  I could go on, but enough for now.... It is overwhelming.

Thanks for "listening".  

Now I will try to put my concerns on a shelf somewhere, at least temporarily. Time to enjoy the holidays. Hope you are able to do the same. All of you. For many in the world this is a sacred time ... a time of joy and thankfulness ... a time that should draw us together in celebration and in hope. I pray that it will be so for all.

Sometimes I just get to the point that I need to vent. I cannot sit quietly by and watch. I also want to speak while I am still allowed to. Think about that for a moment. 

Moving on for now ....
