As the administration faces growing pressure—including from left-leaning mainstream outlets—to explain why the Commander-in-Chief is more like a commander-in-hiding, the more mentally cognizant members of the White House finally realized that they needed to push back Biden’s bedtime and put him in front of the camera.
Like Biden’s appearances on the campaign trail, this was a carefully scripted and choreographed appearance designed to minimize any chance of Biden’s trademark gaffes and, more importantly, questions from the press and the American public.
As Biden returns to the White House bunker tonight, his team now hopes to point to this appearance as proof that Biden isn’t in hiding; however, what is missing from this latest address is what has been missing for the first 50 days of the Biden presidency—questions from the press.
Biden tonight stressed the crucial importance of “truth” in his leadership, a curious virtue to espouse considering his administration is keeping him from the press.
He talked about school closures and all of the lost moments and memories we missed out on this year while skirting the fact that it was Democrat governors who imposed draconian lockdowns.
He said to trust the science—a direct contradiction to his own CDC’s guidelines that schools can reopen safely.
Speaking of trusting science and telling the truth, did those platitudes factor into his decision to rejoin the WHO, which helped China muzzle scientists and assisted them in covering up their role in this global pandemic?
But, what he didn’t say actually said more than what he did.
Biden refused to discuss the growing humanitarian and political crisis growing at the border. He refused to discuss the horrific waste and blue state bailout provisions in this “historic” rescue plan. He refused to clarify his plan to reopen schools and businesses, even with this massive big-government spending bill.
While he mentioned the struggle of losing grandparents, we also didn’t hear anything about Andrew Cuomo, who sentenced thousands of them to needless death in nursing homes. As the de facto leader of his party, Biden’s silence on this will prove to be a mistake.
He claimed tonight that he’s been focused on ending the COVID pandemic. He pointed to the $1.9 trillion progressive wish list—of which only 9 percent goes towards actual public health and COVID mitigation efforts—as proof of this.
He downplayed the historic legacy of President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, which mobilized the entirety of the public and private sectors to develop life-saving vaccines in record time.
The vaccination progress for which Biden took credit would have been impossible without the incredible groundwork done by the Trump Administration.
Something more insidious, however, is taking place with his Democrat Party while they pat each other on the back for this ridiculous blue state boondoggle.
Just this week, the House voted for HR 1—an unprecedented attack on the 1st Amendment that, if passed by the Senate, would fundamentally weaken and undermine secure elections in our nation.
Our 2nd Amendment—the God-given right to self-defense that upholds all other rights—is also under assault. HR 8 and HR 1446 were passed in the House this week while the national conversation was being directed away from considering this radical attack on our Constitution.
Tonight’s national address was another effort to keep the American public distracted from the unconstitutional war currently being waged on us by House and Senate Democrats—all with Biden’s blessing.
While Biden is put back in hiding, the media needs to pressure the White House to allow the press, and the American people, to see his own answers to the questions facing the nation—not answers scripted by his team to pre-screened questions.
When Biden does—and he will eventually have to—face the press, here are some questions he must answer:
- Why aren’t you following the science to re-open schools?
- Why does your “COVID relief bill” contain a $350 billion bailout for poorly run blue states?
- Did your immigration executive orders cause a crisis at the border?
- What was the legal justification for your missile strike in Syria?
- Why not use the $1 trillion in unspent COVID relief funds before asking for more taxpayer funds?
- The economy added 379,000 jobs last month. Isn’t the economy recovering without another $1.9 trillion in spending?
- Do the political contributions and support you’ve received from Teachers Unions over the years influence your decision making?
- Do you pledge to work with Senator Joe Manchin to protect the Senate filibuster?
- Are you concerned that the damage caused by your immigration executive orders have made passing your amnesty bill impossible?
- Why are gas prices going up?
- Are you concerned that your energy policies are hurting American workers?
- Will you boycott the upcoming Olympics in China for their human rights abuses?
- Does the Department of Justice have a conflict of interest investigating your son Hunter? Why don’t you call for a special counsel?
- Do you support packing the Supreme Court?
- Do you think requiring people to show an ID to vote is bad policy?
- Was it irresponsible to sign your immigration executive orders in the midst of a health pandemic?
- Should Twitter stop censoring President Trump?
- Should Congressman Swalwell be removed from the House Intelligence Committee?
- Was Operation Warp Speed a success?
- Why do you open remarks talking about “the mess you inherited” if you want national unity?
But, given mainstream media sycophancy towards this administration, they’ll most likely keep calling him transparent while participating in the cover-up.
Follow your own scripted remarks, Joe, and tell the truth.
