Today
marks another landmark in the long career of President Joe Biden. He
dropped out of the race for re-election... he demonstrated his
patriotism again - nation over self and the greater good over personal
interest. I was among the first to call for Biden to step down as a
patriotic act after his disastrous debate outing. This is leadership,
this is TRUE patriotism, this is a man that loves his country above all
things... he is willing to relinquish the most powerful seat in the
world for the greater good of his fellow citizens...
Biden
did not say like his rival, it is either me or the nation will burn - literarily quoting Donald J. Trump . Biden dropped out, not because he
failed to deliver during his first debate but because there is no
recovery from old age. It is time to go and rest and enjoy the rest of
his long life with his wife who has stood by him all the while. I do not
know a more patriotic fellow American than President Joe Biden - in the
face of an accident that claimed the lives of his first wife and one of
his children, in the face of the death of his first son to cancer, in
the face of the disgraceful and humiliating act of his second son, he
refused to meddle - perhaps as a consequence of the imbalance in Biden's
family through his commitment to his country. He stood by the first
American president of African descent faithfully for eight years and
helped stabilize Obama's government at the beginning when the radical
racist right led by Mitch McConnel who would not help Obama in plugging
the bleeding of the nation created by the RNC under Bush Jr.
The fate of the United States, and obviously, our world hangs on who wins the next election in the US. This is because of the nation's strategic position in world affairs... it is the richest nation by far, and the most powerful and influential in terms of military and technology might.
Whoever the DNC chooses to replace Biden is yet to be known notwithstanding that he endorsed Kamal Harris, his vice. The choice is clear for Americans in November. A choice between a convicted rapist cum 34 times felon versus a potential candidate with a clean record. Choice between Me first, versus you first; a choice between "the nation will burn" if I lose versus "I accept the will of the people" if I lose.
Americans should resurrect and wake up from their amnesia and remember where the nation was in the last 12 months of Trump's first tenure... The nation was bleeding jobs, unemployment went up to over 6%, and hundreds of thousands of Americans died unnecessarily because they had a president who called a global crisis a hoax, instead of working with an outstanding set of professionals at NIH. A lot of actions during Trump's first tenure were transactional and some crooked world leaders pressed that sure button of Trump many times and got what they wanted. What is more dangerous about Trump's second coming is that he would rule as a dictator. The Supreme Court, whom he appointed three justices to, in an attempt to pay Trump back for solidifying a conservative court for generations, ruled that all his presidential acts are protected under the law, including the January 6 insurrection, and they solidified that position that Trump has that license. Undecided Americans, especially the independent voters, who often decide who becomes the president, need to weigh their options well... there are too many things at stake... the rise of authoritarianism, women's right to choose, global peace will go south (Iran will get a nuclear weapon with the Iran deal gone - courtesy of Trump; Palestinians should forget about a two-state solution and Ukraine should be ready to surrender to Putin and Taiwan should ready for China's invasion - there would not be another chance like this, China would say), millions will be deported and that will impact the economy (America depends on the cheap labor of immigrants to grow its economy), freedom of speech will be gone (you will not read stuff like this from me again if Trump wins), the environment will be further destroyed by a few greedy Americans who wants to take from nature at any cost, we will see an implementation of Project 2025 and the SCOTUS will go gaga; the court will the appointment of at least two or three new justices appointed - expect they will all be MAGA extrimisits, worse than Alito and Thomas .... I can go on and on... Americans should think twice in ... November will be a watershed moment in the history of America....
Communism died, and capitalism survived. Capitalism is a supposed system that allows freeness in an economy - market forces in the hands of private owners control what happens to the economy with minimal influence by the state. Capitalism has produced enormous wealth in the West. There are so many millionaires and billionaires. The question is, what is the ratio of the stupendously rich and those who are just scraping by - living from pay check-to-pay check? The gap is huge between the rich and the poor in most capitalist states. When President Trump was going to deliver his tax reform, it favored the rich with about 80% of the tax benefits going to the top 1% richest people in America. The argument was that they create jobs, they should benefit more - money is being given to those who really do not need the extra cash but those who need it the most, aids is been taken away from people who are at the bottom of the ladder because of a few who lie on their social welfare claims.
