I’ve been reading articles from around the world discussing what a Biden Presidency might look like. Below is a very interesting article on Biden from The Spectator, a weekly British magazine on politics, culture, and current affairs. It was first published in July 1828, thus making it the oldest weekly magazine in the world. We’ve heard a lot about Trump lowering the admiration for America over the last 3 years so I found this insight from “across the pond” particularly interesting. Some excerpts, but I suggest you read all of it!

“There’s now fewer than 100 days until the presidential election, America’s cities are still burning, and the 77-year-old challenger who has no idea what he is saying is thrashing the 74-year-old President who has no idea what he is saying”
“Biden’s campaign logo features his famous aviator sunglasses — and what could be more American? But those reflective shades are also quite a good metaphor for Biden’s candidacy: you see what you want.”
“The worry among conservatives and moderates is that President Biden would be a Trojan horse for the hard left. He’s so old that it seems unlikely he will be able to preside fully over one term, let alone two. Biden has already invited Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 30-year-old starlet of American progressivism, to help formulate his policies. Would he let the young radicals take charge?”
“In the coming days, Biden will announce his vice-presidential nominee, which, given his age, could prove a momentous decision. He may well be picking the next commander-in-chief.“
“A President Biden would be more internationalist in outlook than Trump has been. That would make him more likely to take military action than Trump, who, for all his apparent hot-headedness, should be given credit for not having started a new war. Biden, by contrast, has supported just about every foreign intervention America has embarked upon in the past 30 years. For him, restoring the soul of America may well mean bombing somewhere to bits.“
So……………..find any of that disturbing yet?? Let’s look at policy….what LITTLE of it there is to find. First of all let’s look at Wall Street.
“We expect that financial stocks XLF, +0.29% will sell off later this summer if it looks like a Biden win is likely,” said KBW analyst Brian Gardner. Taxes? ““A guiding principle across our tax agenda is that the wealthiest Americans can shoulder more of the tax burden, including in particular by making investors pay the same tax rates as workers and bringing an end to expensive and unproductive tax loopholes. Corporate tax rates, which were cut sharply by the 2017 Republican tax cut, must be raised, and ‘supply-side’ or ‘trickle down’ tax cuts must be rejected. Estate taxes should also be raised back to the historical norm”
Education? The Biden-Bernie Sanders “unity” policy platform takes aim at charter schools, insisting they “undermine the many extraordinary public schools in this country.” It targets “for profit” charter schools for destruction, while strangling the rest with demands for “accountability.”
The Environment? Biden embraces the New Green Deal… a program virtually EVERY economist says will bankrupt us.
Abortion? Why the Democrats embrace the killing of unborn children to the point of policy is beyond me. “He would work to enshrine into federal law the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision upholding abortion rights”. I guess Fetal Lives DON’T matter! so no #FLM
Anyway….you get the point. Anarchists will now be called “demonstrators”, burning down buildings and tearing down statues will be the “the summer of love”, burning fires in the street will be “peaceful” And BTW…..Biden DID say “some funding should “absolutely” be redirected from police” If your boss took away your salary for someone else….do you think you were “de-funded”???
Most importantly is the VERY real likelihood in my medical opinion that Joe Biden’s “cognitive decline” is progressive and whoever he chooses to be his Vice President will end up finishing his term. So a Biden Presidency may very well be 2 Presidents for the price of one!!
