To Supporters of Joe Biden - Is this the America you voted for?

If Joe Biden won, and right now it appears he did, congrats to all who supported him.

I'm curious though, if you supported Vice President Biden did you vote for him because you want America to be a country where anyone who disagreed with you and voted against Biden is to be put on a list (https://twitter.com/trumpaccproject)* and, to paraphrase the recent tweet by Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post, be blacklisted from any government or corporate job and not "be accepted into 'polite' society?"**  

As I said, just curious if that's what you wanted because that's what is actually happening as a result of Mr. Biden being declared the victor.

Now some might argue that had Donald Trump won, the same thing would be happening.  Perhaps or perhaps not.  But if it did I'd be speaking out against it because that's not the America I voted for or want.  

But Biden won and the question has to be put to those who supported him - is that the America you wanted?

As for this list business, if you believe in that put me on it - I'm not ashamed of how I voted.  Want me fired, call my boss and give it a shot.  Want me out of "polite society?"  If you know me, you know I'm more of an "I've got friends in low places" kind of guy so just tell me which way is out and I'll see myself to the door.    

*I pulled just two examples from a number I found without even looking.  The first tweet I saw was by Representative Ocasio-Cortes, a Member of Congress who took an Oath to uphold the Constitution, asking if anyone was keeping a list.  Almost immediately someone tweeted yes we are and providing the link to the "Trump Accountability Project."   There were many other similar views.  Try this article - it's a Conservative site so you may believe it is suspect, but the majority of the article is simply copying tweets and quotes from people so you can read those for yourself.

** To be fair, Ms. Rubin's comment was specifically directed at people like myself who have questions about the veracity of the election results. But I have no doubt that if you read the other quotes going around you'll agree with me Ms. Rubin's views are closer to the real reason why that list that's being compiled. I don't think the Trump Accountability Project was set up so we can have a national ice cream social to bring everyone together in friendship and happiness. Ms. Rubin's exact tweet is found here:

As for the election results, I don't know whether to believe any of what's being said but what I do believe is that if we don't investigate these complaints and put them to bed, if people in authority just do what the national media did about the Hunter Biden scandal and put their hands over their ears and go "Lalalala," then Joe Biden's term in office will be subject to the same charges of illegitimacy that President Trump's four years have been and our country doesn't need another four years of that, regardless of who serves as President.

The Biden Administration blew it on Covid

It's about a year now since Joe Biden was sworn in as President and we can see the Biden Administration has handled the Coronavirus situation horribly. The Administration had a fantastic opportunity to declare victory early in 2021 and put this behind us. But they chose not to do that. The Biden Administration dropped the ball on pursuing the things America needs to put Covid in the rear view mirror while offering a message of fear and dictatorial mandates, and wedding themselves to a bureaucrat who declared that he is the science. The result was more Covid 19 deaths in 2021 than in 2020, strong disagreement and a loss of public confidence in the measures promoted by the Biden Administration, none of which is good for America. But it didn't have to be this way. The Biden Administration took office with three different vaccines available to issue to the public and almost 1 million people getting the jab every day. Shortly after taking office, Congress passed a Covid relie

Republicans shouldn't get cocky

Is there anyone who doesn't think the Republicans will retake control of both the U.S. House and Senate this year? Probably not - and that's the problem. All the polls we see are generic. They are asking questions about how people feel about the parties. The pollsters are asking would a generic Republican defeat a generic Democrat. Other polls are gauging people's feelings toward President Biden. Every indication is the Republicans will win big in both Houses of Congress. What could go wrong? Elections are not generic. Incumbents are not easy to unseat. Furthermore, elections involve Candidate A running against Candidate B in specific districts on specific issues. Candidates and parties also need money to run campaigns. Republicans can be facing an uphill fight on some or all of these points. Take incumbency - in Georgia a recent poll showed Herschel Walker running only a couple of points ahead of Democrat incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock. These poll results a

Inflation stays until Biden and the Democrats go

We won't put inflation behind us as long as Joe Biden is President and Democrats control one or both Houses of Congress. There was going to be some level of inflation after the shutdowns of 2020, but the policies adopted by the Biden Administration and the spending bills passed by the Democrat Congress have elevated inflation to levels they have not been at in many years. As long as Joe Biden is in the White House or Democrats control one House of Congress they will be able to prevent undoing the policies that have put us where we are. Starting on day one, the Biden Administration began adopting policies that fueled the growth of inflation. Despite it being obvious for months that inflation was running hotter than expected the Biden Administration was in denial, saying inflation was transitory. Supply chain issues were initially caused by other factors but the Biden Administration has talked about addressing this but none of their policies have been successful. On the other
