“An arrest consists of a series of accidental irrelevancies, of a multitude of things that do not matter, and there seems no point in arguing about any of them individually… and yet all these accidental irrelevancies taken together relentlessly constitute the arrest,” he wrote Alexander Solzhenitsyn in his Gulag Archipelago, a book that viscerally chronicles the hell of life under Soviet tyranny. The work’s lasting impact is due to the universal lessons it elaborates on tyranny – and the way those lessons apply as fervently to modern American life as everywhere under Joe Biden, where impromptu arrests of innocent civilians, draconian censorship of dissident press and opinion, and heavy-handed enforcement of the law – impartially and without any consideration of due process – defines the daily reality of our seemingly never-ending national nightmare.
These brutal conditions are the true state of the union. Alas, Biden gave his best possible impression of a “President” in last week’s speech, which may have fooled the more dim-witted of the populace, at least for the first ten, maybe twenty minutes or so, until the drug’s effect wore off. it ran out. At that point, sensing they were losing the narrative, the regime’s apparatchiks – including the New York Times and CNN – went all out, declaring Biden’s speech incredulous – if the growl of a demented old man foaming at the mouth can be described as a speech – as “energetic and passionate”.
Nonsense. To the extent that Biden’s bluster, light in substance and even lighter in actual results, was significant: it was simply the portrait of a shameless liar, of a sad geriatric desperately clinging to power–the only thing he has on his side. in his life – having already lost half his mind, while the other half of him worked furiously to spit out barely intelligible statements. She fumbled the name Laken Riley, the all-American girl ruthlessly murdered by illegal aliens who trampled on our laws with impunity, calling her “Lincoln.” It pretended to have ended COVID and brought peace to the Middle East, while China actively strengthens itself thanks to Washington’s reckless spending generosity – while places like the Gaza Strip and Afghanistan witness a resurgence of radical Islamic terrorism, a resurgence that threatens not only the long-term stability of those regions, but of all of Europe. If left unchecked, the terrorism that has exploded across the Middle East and spread across Europe will destroy in one fell swoop all the peaceful cooperation that has largely defined the European continent in the eighty years since World War II.
Biden has flat-out lied about America’s economic recovery, acting as if the jobs he created were not the ones his Deep State friends shuttered with callous indignation during COVID, using the sad excuse of “public safety” to strip virtually every constitutional right that Americans had abandoned. The truth is that inflation remains at record levels: growth may have slowed ever so slightly, but real wages have remained stagnant for years – which means Americans everywhere are spending on basic necessities, like food and public services, much more than they paid under President Trump.
In the bizarre world that is Biden’s America, where up is down and bad is good, brutally violent criminals, including dangerous gangs and cartels, flood city streets with a celebratory stamp of Regime approval . Meanwhile, ordinary Americans – and especially those who exercise their basic constitutional rights, such as expressing dissident thoughts, worshiping the Christian God – and Jesus Christ, or bearing their weapons with pride, are systematically targeted by the regime, labeled as domestic terrorists by its propaganda spokesmen and bowed to social, economic and even legal subjugation. FBI agents wantonly terrorize innocent Americans, some in the dead of night, just as the KGB did in Solzhenitsyn’s Soviet Union, which at one point may have questioned the integrity of our elections. Parents who object to their children being indoctrinated with all sorts of toxic beliefs at school are being persecuted by a Department of Justice that increasingly resembles Orwell’s Ministry of Truth: that arm of the government concerned with lying and torturing the population , in the name of justice, equality and patriotism. The fact that some of the greatest injustices are committed under the name of the Department of Justice, in which the FBI is also lodged, is the supreme example of doublethink.
Following the program outlined by Orwell in 1984 and applied by Stalin in real time, Biden did not mention the name of President Donald John Trump, the favorite and true pretender to the office he now illegitimately occupies, throughout the speech, calling Trump his ” predecessor”. ” – even though it was obviously front and center for Biden and all the Democrats watching. The reason, of course, continuing our Orwellian cadence, was to depersonalize President Trump, make him a banality, a blip on the radar screen – so that Biden could downplay the ferocious dimension of the opposition movement – of which President Trump is, Obviously. , standard bearer.
All this to say: the state of the Union under Biden is bad, really bad.
Our country has descended into a decline managed by Deep State forces, characterized by controlled chaos and a pervasive attack on fundamental human and constitutional rights. The leading presidential candidate is persecuted by the regime only for his policies – a policy that promotes greatness and prosperity, in stark contrast to the weakened and pathetic display on television. In Biden’s America, the message couldn’t be clearer: original thinkers, successful businessmen and challengers of the status quo are not welcome. High-IQ, naturally gifted people are not only prohibited from showcasing their talents, they are persecuted for even trying.
This is the moral of the litany of civil suits against Donald Trump in New York. After years of successful business dealings, Donald Trump’s thanks is to force the liquidation of his assets on the orders of a jealously vindictive state: Biden’s henchmen fuel the racial grievances of Letitia James and Alvin Bragg, whose poor qualifications should not never make them fill their positions in the first place. And, aware on some level of their own inadequacy, they lash out with even greater hostility against those who are more worthy and deserving than themselves – the bugbear of all this, being, of course, the 45th President: the personification of the American dream has perfectly rendered – a man who has achieved the maximum results in both public and private life – his crime, perhaps too successful for a regime that would willingly exchange merit for mediocrity to please the incompetent and undeserving at the expense of the powerful and the strong.
Corporate America, aided by the radical, race-baiting policies of the Biden regime, actively demonizes Americans and white males, in particular, by instigating historic racial grievances – while at the same time buying hook, line and sinking its insane agenda into the climate. This brew of destructive policies and ideologies, which the regime’s most devoted supporters treat like a religion, only exacerbates the most acute fiscal and monetary problems already woven into the American economic tapestry, a languid landscape withered by crushing debt, persistent inflation and high taxes.
Policies like DEI and ESG – which are beefed-up versions of affirmative action and the Green New Deal – have been dogmatically internalized into the human resources departments that oversee corporate culture at every major law, accounting and consulting firm, including investment oversight and hiring best practices. The result has been to neutralize capitalism in America, selecting the most deserving employees – not just in deeply blue places like New York and California, although the effects may be more palpable there – but across the country generally – and especially for brick and mortar stores. -mortar activity of the kind that originally catapulted the Trump brand, which is essentially banned under the Biden regime.
A failing economy; a world order on the brink; an illegal migrant crisis of biblical proportions; a population rendered spiritually and physically impotent by harmful drugs and anti-human ideologies. A justice system that allows violent criminals to repeat their barbaric crimes with the encouragement of the state while law-abiding Americans, including the next president, are humiliated in the worst possible way – with crippling lawsuits, false accusations and lawsuits, all with the aim of making them permanently broke and marginalized – untouchable in the new America.
The state of the union, as Harry Truman once said, is not good. That’s a gross understatement: Under Biden, America is probably in the worst shape in the history of this country. The fate of America, more than any other election, including the turbulent years of the Civil War, depends on Donald Trump’s victory in this year’s presidential race, period. Otherwise it won’t survive.
The fact that President Trump blocked the nomination, and did so so soon, is promising. It is an indicator that the body politic, despite all the gaslighting and brainwashing by the mainstream media, can see beyond the propaganda – and has sensed on some level that only Trump stands in the way of the regime that attacks him directly. If America – and Western civilization – survives, it will necessarily depend on President Trump’s success this November and the durability of the MAGA movement, a generational movement that will long outlast its progenitor. The fate of Europe is as much tied to President Trump’s success as our country; this is why in recent weeks some of that continent’s wisest statesmen, such as Viktor Orbán, have refused the incumbent president the Oval Office for a private meeting with the presidential favorite, knowing full well that it will be Trump’s decisions, and not Biden’s, to determine the fate of the world.
Solzhenitsyn also wrote in that same portentous work: “A man who stopped lying could overthrow a tyranny.” This quote parallels a theme of a much older axiom: the truth will set you free. In a presidential contest that pits one candidate who represents the truth against another who lies incarnate, Solzhenitsyn’s prophecy is more appropriate than ever, in ways probably more suited to our situation than his because whoever tells the truth, the only man who could overthrow a tyranny, it’s literally on the ballot.
