Last week, almost three dozen House Democrats issued a formal letter questioning Joe Bidenâs mental acuity as it related to his sole presidential authority to launch nuclear weapons.
In that letter, principal signer Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) asked that Biden give up his unilateral authority because, âVesting one person with this authority entails risks.â Panetta tactfully noted, âPast presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the presidentâs judgment,â and asked that Biden âinstall additional checks and balances.â
âThere is a rank due to the United States, among nations, which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.â âGeorge Washington (1793)
As anticipated, the Biden/Harris regime is rapidly undoing the strong âAmerica Firstâ Middle East foreign policy achievements of former President Donald Trump, as Joe Bidenâs handlers are resurrecting Barack Obamaâs failed foreign policy of appeasement.
âThe crisis is arrived when we must assert our rights, or submit to every imposition, that can be heaped upon us, till custom and use shall make us as tame and abject slaves.â âGeorge Washington (1774)
A slim majority of Georgia voters just returned control of the nation to leftist Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who will be restored as Senate Majority Leader with the tiebreaker vote of incoming VP Kamala Harris by the end of January.
Schumer will then work with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Biden/Harris regime to rapidly undo the Trump administrationâs initiatives and reset the nationâs course back toward the tyranny of statist socialism.
