First the Biden-Harris gush arrived in NBC’s Time “Person of the Year” special. But it continued in the print edition, in the cover story by Charlotte Alter. Charlotte, whose dad Jonathan has a new book selling the virtues of President Carter, lays on the Democrat praise thick:
As Biden sees it, trusting his instincts and tuning out the naysayers is a big reason why he’s going to be the next Commander in Chief. They said he was too old, too unsteady, too boring. That his pledge to restore the “soul of the nation” felt like antiquated hokum at a moment when Hurricane Trump was tearing through America, ripping through institutions, chewing up norms and spitting them out.
“I got widely criticized,” Biden recalls, for “saying that we had to not greet Trump with a clenched fist but with more of an open hand. That we weren’t going to respond to hate with hate.” To him, it wasn’t about fighting Trump with righteous vengeance, or probing any deeper rot that might have contributed to his ascent. Biden believed most voters simply wanted reconciliation after four years of combat, that they craved decency, dignity, experience and competence. “What I got most criticized for was, I said we had to unite America,” he says. “I never came off that message.”
Telling blacks who didn’t vote for him “weren’t black” isn’t unifying and reconciling. But the unity and decency is a pose, not an approaching reality.
Biden was perhaps the only Democratic candidate who could claw back some of the party’s lost ground with the culturally conservative white voters who dominate the swing states of the Rust Belt. Harris, meanwhile, brought a cultural competency that attracted the next generation of Democrats, right down to her footwear. When she stepped out of a plane in Chuck Taylor sneakers, many voters saw a politician who had literally walked miles in their shoes.
Alter noted Harris co-sponsored the Green New Deal, and yet she somehow “seemed to elude ideological definition.”
….All new Presidents inherit messes from their predecessors, but Biden is the first to have to think about literally decontaminating the White House. Combatting the pandemic is only the start of the challenge, at home and abroad. There are alliances to rebuild, a stimulus package to pass, a government to staff. Biden’s advisers are preparing a slew of Executive Orders: restoring the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration program, rejoining the Paris Agreement, reversing the so-called Muslim ban and more. Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan aims to revitalize the virus-wracked economy—which some analysts say is unlikely to fully recover until 2023—by investing in infrastructure, education and childcare. “I think if my plan is able to be implemented,” Biden says, “it’s gonna go down as one of the most progressive Administrations in American history.”
Meanwhile, Trump was a monster:
Defeating the Minotaur was one thing; finding the way out of the labyrinth is another….
Given the scale and array of America’s problems, the question may not be whether this team can solve them but whether anyone could. U.S. politics has become a hellscape of intractable polarization, plagued by disinformation and mass delusion. Polling shows three-quarters of Trump voters wrongly believe the election was tainted by fraud. After four years of a White House that acted as a celebrity-driven rage machine, it seems naive to think of the presidency as an engine of progress.
We noted Alter went to the flyover states and found the voters were idiots. She tweeted: “You think voter logic is like: A > B > C >D,” but “In actuality, voter logic is more like: A > Purple > Banana > 18″.

Many of my regular readers have seen this Latin phrase which is now my title and it reads: “If you want peace, prepare for war.” Wherein no truer words could describe the dire situation America finds itself in today.
As everyone knows by now that the SCOTUS has turned its back on our Constitutional Republic, which is best stated by Mike Adams of NewsTarget:
“Yet despite overwhelming, irrefutable evidence of blatant election rigging, fraud, and foreign interference, local judges are too corrupt to hear the cases, district courts are too corrupt to decide on the cases, and the highest court in the land is too corrupt to even grant the case legal standing.”
“America has been plunged into lawlessness by the US Supreme Court. There is no coming back from the path of emerging history that SCOTUS has just set into motion, and this path will be slathered with the blood of patriots and tyrants.“ Mike Adams then concludes with: “The question now is: Will [President] Trump find the courage to give the order?”
Allow me to answer that burning question by offering the following food-for-thought: It is my solemn belief that our Lion, President Donald John Trump, is the greatest strategist in our time and author of ‘The Art of The Deal’, just as his mentor, Sun Tzu, was the author of ‘The Art of War’ wherein he advised that:
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
President Trump’s greatest successes came because none of the now declared enemies knew what his next move would be. As his son Don, Jr. once offered, my father is like the big ugly monster in a scary movie that everyone fears because they never know what he is doing, or more importantly, where he is—and then suddenly he is right behind them—and they panic!!!
“Appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak.”
The Deep State made the tactical error of believing their own lies, that President Trump was a stupid fool. Fools do not plan for over two years (September 12, 2018 EO) to entrap their enemy.
Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
President Donald John Trump is a world class strategic planner and has won these battles hundreds of times in his mind and within his inner circle.
And, my hands-down-favorite:
“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.”
Speed of response and massive, simultaneous, actions will be the keys to our success. Meaning—hitting many of the major players at precisely the same time. BAM…!
Unfortunately, there is no other road back to our Constitutional Republic, as Benjamin Frankly once said “…if YOU can keep it! “In the history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the roll of defending freedom in its maximum hour of danger. We are that generation! This is our role: Freedom must be defended!” – Unknown author
And so we pray once more—Here we are Lord, if not us, then who? Who will deliver us from this evil? We know Your Guiding Hand will be there with us. Please let us know what it is that you want us to do.
Once again, if you truly want peace, you must prepare now for war. There are many relatives, friends and neighbors who will not heed this call and, for that reason, they may pay the ultimate price.
