“I wish nothing but good; therefore, everyone who does not agree with me is a traitor and a scoundrel.” King George III

History surely does repeat itself.
American colonists put up with King George until they just couldn’t do it anymore.
They treasured being “Englishmen,” that’s why they held on as long as they did. Then, when they realized that England saw them as Cash Sheep, to be fleeced at the whim of the King, they called it quits.
There are a lot of similarities between George and President Joe.
George, like Joe, suffered bouts of mental illness, especially during the Revolutionary War. And the King had zero respect for his subjects.
He taxed without representation, bilked and bullied his subjects as if they didn't mean anything to him. Because they didn’t.
With the current crop of Democrats, it’s King-George-Colonial-Déjà vu all over again.
Democrats are disdainful of Americans, and they’re not afraid to show it.
From Obama thumbing his nose at Covid rules with his mega Martha’s Vineyard mask free party;
Sen. Chuck dancing with Stephen Colbert at Comrade diBlasio sponsored concert, attendees packed in like sardines;
To Nancy Pelosi hosting dozens of donors at a $30,000-dollar-a-plate Napa Democrat fundraiser. Also mask free. An arrestable offense in Nancy’s House of Representatives.
On Sunday, August 15 the city of Kabul, Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.
It was a crisis which Lunchbox Joe caused, but he blames Trump.
The truth is Secretary of State Blinken ignored intelligence in July which advised that Kabul would fall as it did. A report Joe denies seeing.
This Sunday, Blinken was forced to admit on Face the Nation that the U.S. now has to ask terrorists for permission to move anyone out of Afghanistan.
Yesterday, while Americans waited for news of rescue efforts, Joe took time to praise Speaker Pelosi for passing legislation favorable to Democrats, and to praise Megan Rapinoe as “the best of what America stands for.”
On Monday he side-stepped the crisis in Kabul by speaking far too long about Covid. And masks.
And on Monday Jen Psaki took Fox reporter Peter Doocy to task for his choice of words.
“I think it’s irresponsible to say Americans are stranded,” Psaki scolded. “They are not.”
This was while people desperate to leave Afghanistan hung onto and fell off of the outside of planes leaving Kabul Airport, and Americans were stuck in Kabul.
Or you could say “stranded.”
During this time Vice President Kamala cackled her way through a getaway to Singapore and Vietnam.
While in Singapore she addressed the wisdom of buying Christmas toys early to avoid supply chain shortages. Because of climate change.
Earlier she brushed off a reporter’s question about Afghanistan, while Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong seemed to be thinking, “Why are you here? Why aren’t you evacuating your own citizens?”
So Lee brought the discussion back to Afghanistan.
“We hope Afghanistan does not become an epicenter for terrorism again,” Lee said seeming to chide her, then offered air and sea support for the evacuations, seeming to question why the U.S. wasn't doing the same.
While our country has been humiliated on the world stage by a weak president, Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat National Committee praised Joe’s handling of Afghanistan.
And Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley stood by helplessly, as if it was their first day on the job.
In April, 1962, President John Kennedy honored Nobel Prize Winners of the Western Hemisphere with this comment.
“I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge that has ever been gathered at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”
Jefferson was courageous, a virtue hard to find in today’s leaders.
He wrote the Declaration of Independence. He was a U.S. president. And he’s the Founding Father whose statue was dragged down in Portland last year.
It’s impossible not to be angry at the people in charge of our country today.
These people, especially the president and vice president of the United States, are the dumbest, most uncaring collection of people our country has ever seen.
In that way, they, like Joe, are like King George III.
The question is, when will we say, as we did with the king, “We won’t take it anymore?”
Hold the line, America.
