Team Biden’s Contempt for the American People
Throughout the tragicomedy that has been the first year of the Biden Administration, there has been no shortage of reasons for outrage. The reasons stem from a broad array of issues—the border, Afghanistan, energy policy, and inflation, to name a few—but there is a common denominator to all of them. It is this administration’s thinly veiled contempt for the American people, the very people it swore to represent and protect. A clear example of this can be found in the current refugee policy.
It should be noted that the American people are incredibly fair and generous, maybe the fairest and most generous people on the planet. We regularly step up to help others in need around the world, no matter their race, religion, or affiliation. What we cannot abide is a double standard of treatment for one group over another, yet the Biden Administration seems to be giving us the short end of a double standard on a routine basis.

If Mandates Fail, What Will Politicians Do for an Encore?
The resort to “mandatory” measures by many governments around the world is, on the one hand, regarded as a power grab by publics who have seen once supposedly sacrosanct “rights” disappear one after the other, but it is also a sign of growing desperation among leaders who are no longer confident they can eradicate covid and return to “normal.” They are compensating for their powerlessness over nature by intensifying their power over men. The idea, born of frustration with the partial failure of previous and much-touted efforts, is that with enough control, the march to normalcy can be resumed.
The government could well end up unintentionally uniting groups it has spent decades playing against each other to increase federal power.
