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:

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
