Joe Biden's losing fight, Barack Obama's lost fight

Barack Obama wasn't just famous for passing Obamacare. The 44th president was also famous for saying "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." Those sentences were judged by PolitiFact as the lie of the year. That happened when Democrats dominated Washington, DC.

Obamacare is terrible legislation because it didn't seek bipartisan input. It's proof that efficient government is foolish government. This Nation's Founding Fathers were wise in designing our governments to be difficult to overwhelm.

China is finding out the hard way that dictating is hard work. Glenn Reynolds highlights that fact in his latest column. Reynolds highlights the foolishness of autocratic government by highlighting Tom Friedman's wish, writing "New York Times columnist Tom Friedman famously wished we could be 'China for a Day' so we could implement 'the right solutions.'"

People were designed by our Creator with an unquenchable appetite for liberty. That's true whether they're living in the U.S.A., Iran or China. Here's more from Reynolds:

In a classic 'Star Trek' episode, a rogue sociologist infects a planet with Nazism because it was the most 'ruthlessly efficient' government in history. Bunk. Hitler did lots of stupid things, and there was no one who could stop him. His Germany was the scene of endless bureaucratic backstabbing, duplication and waste. (Stalin’s Soviet Union was at least as bad, for the same reasons.) Dictatorships may look dynamic because they can do things fast. The problem is they often do stupid things fast.
Without a free press keeping the public well-informed, it's inevitable that society crumbles. Efficient government doesn't equal good government.

On the opposite side of this liberty equation, Joe Biden hasn't stood for the universal virtues of liberty and self-determination:

What does the United States stand for? With Joe Biden in the White House, absolutely nothing.

Apparently, we don’t stand for freedom. As brave citizens in China desperately protest that country’s heinous lockdowns and censorship, a spokesman for the Biden administration says that the White House is "going to watch this closely."

We don’t stand against human rights abusers. As crippling energy prices threaten the president’s approval ratings, Biden’s emissaries travel to Venezuela, allowing an easing of sanctions and resumed oil exports from a murderous regime that happens to have the world’s largest oil reserves.

Biden is too obsessed with diplomacy to stand against oppression. Biden said that his administration would stand against human rights abuses. Bunk. He's been silent against the CCP's abuse of Uyghur Muslims in China. He's been silent against Iranian mullahs oppressing their people. Likewise, Biden has been silent while protesters risk their lives throughout China. This is what one-party rule leads to:

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
