Joe Biden's patriotic surrender declaration

Wednesday night, Joe Biden addressed the nation from the Oval Office for the 4th time in his presidency. It's telling that 3 of those addresses have happened in the last year (Ukraine, the assassination attempt on President Trump and tonight's announcement that he's gotten pushed out of office by President Obama and Nancy Pelosi.

I watched the speech. I found the speech to be dishonest and typical of Joe Biden. When I read the transcript of the speech, each dishonest statement popped off the page at me.

I won't highlight each of those dishonest or deceptive statements but you'll get the picture. Let's start with an early statement that must get highlighted.

In that statement, Biden said "America is going to have to choose between moving forward or backward, between hope and hate, between unity and division. We have to decide, do we still believe in honesty, decency, respect, freedom, justice and democracy? In this moment, we can see those we disagree with not as enemies, but as fellow Americans. Can we do that? Does character in public life still matter?"

Coming from a Biden, those questions seem more fit from the Onion or the Babylon Bee. First, the economy will improve if we adopt Trump's policies. Getting rid of Biden's spendaholic spending habits will get inflation under control.

Then there's this:

You know, in recent weeks it’s become clear to me that I needed to unite my party in this critical endeavor. I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America’s future all merited a second term, but nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy, and that includes personal ambition.

The truth is that Joe and Kamala and their family members were the only ones that agreed. The American people were preparing to dump Biden in a big way. That's why Pelosi and Obama pushed him out.

Further, Biden doesn't believe that Trump is a threat to democracy. That's a total throwaway line. It should be discarded ASAP. This is ridiculous:

I’m the first president in this century to report to the American people that the United States is not at war anywhere in the world. We’ll keep rallying a coalition of proud nations to stop Putin from taking over Ukraine and doing more damage. We’ll keep NATO stronger, and I’ll make it more powerful and more united than at any time in all of our history. I’ll keep doing the same for allies in the Pacific.

You know, when I came to office, the conventional wisdom was that China would inevitably surpass the United States. That’s not the case anymore. And I’m going to keep working to end the war in Gaza, bring home all the hostages and bring peace and security to the Middle East and end this war.

That's chutzpah!The Abraham Accords had just gotten signed. Iran didn't have enough money to pay attention, much less start proxy wars against Israel or the Saudis. Oil was cheap, which meant Putin didn't have the money to invade Ukraine.

When Biden talks about defending Ukraine, that's code for yet another 20-year war. I'm old enough to remember when the U.S. fought and won wars. Now we're just the middleman while proxies fight the endless wars.

Campaign Speech

Today, we have the strongest economy in the world, creating nearly 16 million new jobs — a record. Wages are up, inflation continues to come down, the racial wealth gap is the lowest it’s been in 20 years. We’re literally rebuilding our entire nation, urban, suburban, rural and tribal communities. Manufacturing has come back to America.

The U.S. always has the strongest economy. Further, wages aren't up when adjusted for inflation. Just ask someone at a grocery store. The racial wage gap keeps getting wider, too. Biden isn't tethered to the truth. I hope this is his final address from the Oval Office:
