You can’t actually blame Joe Biden for turning the nation right into a police state.
He is merely following within the footsteps of his outdated boss, Barack Obama, the president who used the Internal Revenue Service, one of the feared businesses within the federal authorities, to go after his political opponents.
Now President Biden, Obama’s vice chairman, desires to double the dimensions of the IRS by including 87,000 new IRS brokers to go after center Americans and the working class.
And beneath the IRS job itemizing for the brand new hires is the requirement that they “carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force.”
Of course, Obama didn’t know something in regards to the IRS concentrating on the Tea Party and scores of different conservative teams again in 2012, simply as President Biden is aware of nothing in regards to the FBI ‘s extraordinary raid on the Mar-a-Lago house of former President Donald Trump. Yeah, proper.
There is not any Washington bureaucrat alive who would have the brass or audacity to have initiated both motion with out the president, a method or one other, signing off on it, regardless of what Obama mentioned again then or what Biden is saying now.
Remember that deep within the coronary heart of each socialist/communist/progressive lies a fascist dictator ready to ooze out.
Also, a number of the most authoritarian dictators in trendy historical past started their political careers as socialists, communists or radical leftists — Joe Stalin, Mao Zedong, Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Fidel Castro to call just a few.
People overlook, however earlier than Obama launched his IRS assault on conservative opponents, Obama as a presidential candidate known as for the creation of a nationwide police drive.
In a July 2008 speech in Colorado presidential candidate Obama mentioned, “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as financed.”
The plan was shortly put aside after it was identified how Hitler had not solely give you the identical thought, however had carried out it.
Besides, why would you want a nationwide police drive when, beneath Barack Obama and Joe Biden, you had the IRS and the FBI appearing as if they have been already brokers of a police state?
How else to elucidate the including of 87,000 new IRS brokers or the unprecedented use of the FBI to raid the house of a former president looking for sufficient grime to maintain him off the poll in 2024?
Our democracy is in peril, all proper, however the menace is just not coming from Donald Trump and the appropriate, however from Joe Biden and the left.
That is as a result of what Biden did to Trump is one thing that by no means occurred earlier than in American historical past. In some South American banana republic, sure, however not on the earth’s main democracy.
Brimming with hate of their hearts towards Trump, progressives cheered the occasion. But simply suppose what their response would have been had President Trump ordered an FBI to raid the house of his predecessor Barack Obama.
The raid might develop into the largest political blunder since President Richard Nixon went down over the Watergate break-in, its coverup and the mendacity that went together with it.
More importantly, whereas the unprecedented raid energized Trump’s loyal base, and strengthened his prospects for a presidential comeback victory in 2024, it additionally deeply nervous different Americans who’re questioning what is going on to their nation.
And with good motive. When an incumbent president makes use of the police to raid the house of his predecessor, you have got a police state, particularly as Trump is planning to run for president once more.
By coincidence, The New York Times ran a propaganda loaded op-ed column final Tuesday written by Chinese Communist Wang Wen, former editor of the Chinese Global Times.
The headline learn: “Why Chinese People No Longer Look Up to America.”
Today given Biden’s police state presidency, the headline of a companion column might learn: “Why American People No Longer Look Up to America, Either.”
The gentle within the City upon a Hill has gone darkish.
