Friends, it’s been quite a ride on the old Truth Train. Over the last year I have worked to be your voice of reason; one crying out in a Wilderness of Woke. Indeed, it’s been my pleasure each month to set your table with much food for thought although for some it’s proved a bit hard to digest. Yes, in a World of Universal Deceit, truth telling has become a Revolutionary Act and I have enjoyed being your Paul Revere shouting the warning that the “Woke are coming…the Woke are coming”.
I promised my columns would be supported by the factual record. I delivered.
Some scoffed at my claims of $5.00 gas; no one is laughing now.
I predicted Mr. Rittenhouse would file defamation suits over false reporting and they are now in the works.
I warned Biden had lost control of the border and as a result, more Americans would die. In his first 15 months, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol apprehended almost 2.5 million illegal aliens with nearly 1.5 million (as per the Washington Examiner) being released into the U.S.
Compare that to other USBP data under a Trump Presidency which shows between January 2017 and December 2020 there were a grand total of 1,978,000 apprehensions, meaning Biden has released almost as many aliens into your country in 15 months than were actually apprehended by Trump’s BP over his entire four year presidency.
In February 2022, a twice-deported alien was charged with killing a legal immigrant mother of two children in North Carolina while a month ago, in June 2022, a seven-time time deportee was arrested and charged after allegedly firing 10 rounds at police officers while taking them on a 100 mile-per-hour chase while drunk, with his pregnant wife in the passenger seat. For those who spout that illegal aliens commit crime at a lesser rate than Americans to justify the presence of illegal masses within our country, consider this: Would you agree that my dog couldn’t bite you if I kept it on my side of the fence?
I advised in January 2022 that post-puberty testosterone was fueling unfair competition between transgender athletes and biological women, and it appears FINA (swimming’s governing body) now agrees, recently restricting male-to-female transgender athletes unless such athlete: “…can establish to FINA’s comfortable satisfaction that they have not experienced any part of male puberty beyond Tanner Stage 2 (of puberty) or before age 12, whichever is later”.
I expect more Sport Governing Bodies to follow suit now that FINA has had the guts to state the obvious.
Some questioned the veracity of the claim made in my “The Big R – Racism” column that sidewalks were deemed racist. Well, I direct you to opinion editor Kenny Allen of the Daily Northwestern who questioned whether the sidewalks at Northwestern University were too white and a particular facet of White Supremacy.
In November 2021, I questioned the holding of Roe v. Wade in light of other established law recognizing rights of the unborn. Others apparently did too as the Supreme Court recently held that: “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. It’s reasoning was exceptionally weak and decision has had damaging consequences.”
Because Roe uniquely involved “potential life”, the Court disagreed with the dissent’s claim that the Constitution requires the states to regard a fetus as lacking even the most basic human right—to live—at least until an arbitrary point in a pregnancy has passed. “Nothing,” the Court held, “in the Constitution or in our Nation’s legal traditions authorizes the Court to adopt that ‘theory of life’”.
And finally, however and sadly so, I – like most Americans – have been proven right that the 46th President of our United States is incompetent; an observation not requiring much by the way of critical thinking as even the least politically savvy of our fellow Americans are feeling the pinch and reeling in the aftermath of one major Biden policy gaffe after another. I however, was early to that public consensus, advising everyone I knew prior to the election of the coming disaster that waited with a Biden Presidency.
Don’t take my word for it; take a cross section of American Voter Polling.
According to a July, 2022 CIVIQS Poll only 30 percent approve of Biden’s job performance, an all time low even for Joe; much lower than Trump’s and quickly approaching Jimmy Carter territory.
Biden’s approval is underwater in every state. Do you know the one geographic area in North America where Biden’s approval rating is the highest? The Answer: Mexico at 52 percent — not New Mexico, but south-of-the-border Mexico with that green, red and white flag with an eagle eating a snake. Do you now see the correlation between open borders Joe and his approval among Mexican Citizens? If you have any doubts about it, Mexican’s Approval rating for Trump averaged 18 percent for his four years in office.
In fact, Biden is deeply underwater with all demographics except Black Americans where he has dropped almost 26 percentage points since November 2020.
According to recent Polling, Biden’s approval rating among Hispanics is 24 percent.
As per a NY-Post Poll, he’s at 22 percent with young adults.
Among women, Biden is floundering. A recent UM at Amherst Poll found that Biden’s approval rating was 37 percent among women while a June 2022 Quinnipiac University Poll had Biden’s approval rating at 39 percent.
Consumer confidence is down too. According to a recent Rueters Poll, the present situation index, based on consumers’ assessment of current business and labor market conditions, is at its lowest level since March 2013.
85 percent of adults, as per an AP-NORC Survey, believe America is heading in the wrong direction
Then consider the June 2022 Gallup Poll which found the world “sadder, more worried, and more stressed-out” in 2021 than the year before, pushing its “negative experience index” to a record high of 33 points in the first year of U.S. President Joe Biden’s term.
A shocking 85 percent of Americans polled in June say the economy is getting worse, up from 77 percent in May and only two points below of the record high in June 2008.
The percentage of Americans calling current conditions “poor” has risen eight percentage points in June to 54 percent, the first time a majority of Americans has seen conditions this poor since 2009
According to a 2022 Rasmussen Reports poll, a full 65 percent think violent crime is “getting worse” forcing many businesses to relocate. According to CBS, Amazon announced it was relocating up to 1600 workers from downtown Seattle so employees wouldn’t be forced to travel to an area of shootings, carjackings and other violent crimes.
America is drifting toward third-world status with crime, shortages, expected energy blackouts and political hit jobs reminiscent of Banana Republics.
When is the last time anyone can remember a shortage of consumer goods like baby formula and tampons?
Inflation is up and the stock market down; Many predict a crippling recession.
Then there are videos of men and women riding bicycles stark naked during a recent Seattle parade with their “Bouncing Betty’s” and “Lingering Larry’s” in full view of spectators, including small children. When did Indecent Exposure stop being a crime?
On top of that you have a Biden Administration which proposes funding organizations committed to the practice and spread of atheism in South/Central Asia and in the Middle East/North Africa and a president who relies on cue cards telling him where to sit and what to say. It’s bat guano crazy.
All of this is Biden’s America – a rising mess of inept leadership grounded upon a skewed view of reality. Yep, we shouldn’t drill for our own oil but beg OPEC to produce more petroleum and sell it to us because Joe knows best and will be able to somehow convince China, Russia and India to go woke green to prevent “global warming”. If you believe in science then without immediate cooperation of Russia, China and India to further reduce their carbon footprint, nothing America does alone will reverse the adverse affects of C02 and the above three steadfastly refuse to increase their climate goals.
For those who voted for Biden in 2020, are reparations in order for the other half of our country equally suffering now because you refused to see what other Americans plainly saw then? I was short on Biden long before it was cool or acceptable and now a majority of Americana has seen the light — Americans still believe in something good and right. So as we approach the 2022 midterms, you can decide whether Joe will continue to dig a deeper hole for all of us to eventually crawl out of and I implore You, Us and the Who to not be fooled again.
So I sign off with one final note: “If by chance you survive my time for eternal rest, stop on by and pay your respects, then read my final parting quip; look upon the Wall that says it All: Here lies: Dan Shannon, The Smartest Man in the Crypt”.
