Joe Biden’s debate performance is no longer about politics. It is about the critical situation of our national security. This is the weakest showing ever by our president. I have never seen a more weak and incompetent US president in my lifetime. If I were Vladimir Putin, I would storm Europe. If I were Xi Jinping, I would invade Taiwan. right now.
I remember when Ronald Reagan was shot and in the hospital. It was a very nerve-wracking time because for a moment the President was not in command. Initially, while I was in the hospital, I handed over the powers of the Presidency to the Vice President. It was terrifying because I knew the whole world was watching.
We are in trouble, and not just because of Joe Biden. We are in trouble because people do not recognize the danger that is before them.
Our enemies are always looking for weaknesses, and the debates confirmed to them what we have mostly endured. Four years Of weakness.
Three categories of people watched last week’s debate.
Others believed the media’s claims that Biden’s senility was just a “cheap fake” by the Republicans, and that the president is smarter than ever. This group was probably shocked by Biden’s performance in the debates. This group should now think: “I can’t trust any of my reliable sources, because they all lied to me.”
And there are those who participated in this fraud. Anyone who has ever spoken to Biden, seen him up close or had a conversation with him will be charged with a crime. To those who perpetrated this fraud in the press, in the White House and in the Democratic Party, shame on you! You have put our country in grave danger.
And then there are those who respond to this debate by saying, “The Democrats are in trouble. What are they going to do leading up to the election? Can they get him out before the convention? And if they do, how are they going to pick a new candidate?” The first two groups of people might fit into this category. But these are political issues. We need to step away from politics and elections for a second. We need to talk about the state of the country.
We are facing a nuclear threat right now that we haven’t faced since the 1960s. The 1960s was a time of great fear and uncertainty with the Soviet Union, but we had John F. Kennedy. He was in terrible pain, unknown to the American people. Doctors were giving him medicine. But at least he was sane and alert.
It’s 2024 and Joe Biden is the president. Did you know that he is responsible for deciding your fate in a national emergency? As president, you have seven minutes to decide how to respond if a global enemy launches a nuclear attack. You have seven minutes to decide what to do if North Korea launches a hypersonic weapon. The military doesn’t even have time to verify that it’s a nuclear weapon. They open up the football and pull out what they call the Black Book of Death. It’s that serious! The president has to look at it and decide, “This city, this system, these ships, these silos will be saved.” And the guy with the football acts as a kind of actuary. He takes the president’s choice and says, “Mr. President, this is going to result in this many deaths.”
Let’s take a hypothetical example of this. Suppose the President decides to retaliate if North Korea launches a ballistic missile at the United States. The “actuary” would point out that some of the targeted North Korean cities border China, meaning that radiation would flow into China, killing an additional 250,000 Chinese. China would see this as an invasion and might launch nuclear weapons at the United States. The radiation could reach as far north as Russia, and that country might retaliate. The “actuary” would explain all this to the President and ask, “Is this your choice?”
Regardless of your political stance, do you believe Joe Biden can be trusted to take on that responsibility?
I’m so angry that no one on TV or in the political world is talking about the state of the country. They’re all talking about the election. “How do we replace Biden before the convention? How do we get him off the ballot?”
Take him off the ticket? My only concern is how to keep this guy out of football!
You know what your enemies are thinking? If ever there was an opportunity to exploit America’s weakness, it’s now. Our country is in more danger than it has been in my lifetime, perhaps ever. I grew up during the Cold War. We are weak, and the world knows it. Our enemies know it, too. They are threatening us with nuclear weapons, and we cannot forgive this man with the Black Book of Death and the button!
Does anybody understand what we saw in the debates? You didn’t see a presidential candidate. You saw the current President of the United States! This should scare you, regardless of your political stance.
If you’re on the right and you were celebrating after the debate thinking, “This is going to be great for Donald Trump,” be careful what you wish for. If you’re on the left and you’re thinking, “Oh, this is just a caricature that the right was trying to create about Biden,” do you think we want the country to be destroyed? Are there any Americans who want their president to look like that? What is wrong with us?
We are in trouble, and not just because of Joe Biden. We are in trouble because people do not recognize the danger that is before them. I’ve been saying a lot lately, “May God save the Republic.” God cannot do what we do not participate in. We have to get this man out of office.
