Biden's efforts to undermine Kennedy will backfire

The U.S. Secret Service has refused to grant Robert F. Kennedy Jr., protection as he promotes his candidacy for president, because President Joe Biden is vulnerable and RFK is siphoning his votes

President Joe Biden is in trouble and I doubt that he will win re-election, even against a rival who faces 91 indictments and is mired in court prosecutions that, despite many being motivated purely by politics, would prevent anyone else from seeking public office.

Biden has been ineffective as the leader of the Free World. He is weak and that weakness is seen clearly by foreign tyrants to pursue their evil. That includes actions by Russia’s dictator Vladimir Putin who invaded and occupied Ukraine, and the violent attack by the terrorist group Hamas.

Biden’s allies are doing everything they can to shore him up, not by making him better, but by denigrating his rivals. They are doing everything possible to discredit his chief Democratic rival, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose appeal is far greater than what the biased mainstream news media will allow.

This week, the Secret Service refused to give Kennedy protection. That is so outrageous considering that Kennedy’s have been the victims of two past assassinations and the family subject to hundreds of murder threats.

Despite assertions that today’s world is different, it’s not. The American political elite still despise Catholics.

Kennedy will be a powerful challenger in the November elections, and Biden is doing everything possible to prevent him from being on the ballot in every state.

The word is a mess because Biden is not strong. He is a weak champion for Americans in a world that is increasingly dangerous. He is incapable of achieving any of his campaign promises, the most important being his pledge to “bring the country together.” Biden has in fact fueled the polarization and anger.

America is more polarized today than it ever has been. Our economy, despite the public relations spin from his Democratic allies who are desperate to maintain their hold on power, is in a slow painful spiral. Prices have increased horribly in part because of corporate greed that festered during the COVID19 Coronavirus Pandemic.

Businesses that raised prices dramatically during the economic slump caused by the pandemic have continued to increase their prices, burdening the American people even more. Just go to the grocery store and look at the prices. Don’t believe the President’s politically driven lies.

Biden is incapable of taking decisive action to reverse the downward spiral of this country.

Biden has lost many of the voter groups that helped him defeat Trump in 2020, although Trump was his own worst enemy, distracted from building on some good policies because he just couldn’t stop himself from engaging in his infantile pettiness. Trump enjoys being petty.

I voted for Trump in 2016. I voted for Biden in 2020. And now, I am going to vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., because I believe in giving leaders a try. We need something different when things are not working. And things are not working in America today.

Kennedy has what appears to be a somewhat confused platform, but so did both Trump and Biden who based their campaigns on the “I’m not the other guy” message. In Kennedy’s case, the biased mainstream media is distorting his platforms, his words and his ideas, hoping to prevent him from contributing to Biden’s political collapse.

We have to keep trying to find someone who can break this polarization that is dragging America down and exposing us to worse nightmares to come.

Biden knows he is losing this election and he is doing everything to consolidate his re-election.

Kennedy has vowed to remove America from funding international wars. Although he is a supporter of Israel, he is the kind of supporter who opposes extremist violence and extremist policies. He is no friend of Benjamin Netanyahu, one of Israel’s worst terrorist leaders.

I support Israel, the Palestinians and the only viable choice, the Two-State Solution. But extremists on both sides, Netanyahu and Hamas, have found empowerment in America’s growing weaknesses fueled by Biden’s weak leadership.

But beyond Israel, Kennedy can refocus America on the issues we need to address. How can he do that? Not simply by articulating clear policies, but most importantly by becoming the catalyst in resuscitating the Center. Conservative Democrats and Liberal Republicans have been held political hostage in that Center by their own parties. They need to be awakened to break this country’s polarization.

Kennedy brings with him a name that is revered in American politics. At the urging of Biden and former President Barack Obama, several in Kennedy’s family have spoken out against RFK’s candidacy, not because RFK is bad, but because they thrive in Biden’s confusion.

Biden isn’t making decisions. Most decisions are being made indirectly through the Clintons and the Obamas.

I have a theory about what could happen this November. Biden will lose at least five swing states where in 2020 he defeated Trump by narrow margins. Those loses will be driven in a large part because of opposition from Arab and Muslim Americans who previously supported him.

Trump may or may not survive the election process. He could be convicted either before the election, preventing him from taking office, or after winning, dragging America down an even darker road of turmoil and uncertainty.

Trump’s trouble are fueled by media bias and political actions that ignore the Rule of Law. But they are also fueled by his own failure to be a leader and by his thinned-skinned pettiness.

As all this comes to a head, Kennedy would become a more and more popular alternative as we get closer to the November elections and voters seek sanity over the insanity we have.

Americans are fed up with Trump’s failures and with Biden’s failures. Our political system is so screwed up that even the disgruntled Democrats and Republicans can seem to come together in launching the “No Labels” Party.

You can’t wait for “No Labels” to wake up. You can’t wait for the legal prosecutions to derail Trump. And, you can’t wait until Biden’s medications save his failed functionality.

We can’t wait for Biden to start taking medications like Jardiance, Ozempic, Vraylar, Sotyktu, Ocrevus or Ingrezza — have you noticed how pharmaceutical company money dominates television advertising?

With Biden in office and Trump mired in endless legal entanglements, America will never be able to address and remediate the problems that have damaged our core issues, like healthcare, controlling the spiraling costs of medications, cracking down on steadily growing crime, and rebuilding families.

Walk away from the political circus that plagues America and make a courageous leap of faith. Worst case scenario, the RFK administration will be no better than Biden or Trump. But we have to try something different.

Trump and Biden only promise continued disruption, anger and conflict, an environment that feeds extremism around the world.

You are being lied to by the media, by politicians and by what Trump accurately calls the Swamp. But it is so creative most Americans are mesmerized by it and can’t break the addition to the lies.

Back Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for President. Send a clear message to the fanatics who have the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in a headlock, and to the political activists who have hijacked mainstream news media objectivity.

We need someone new to lead this country, restore the world respect we once had, and bring together moderates on both sides of the political aisle to restore sanity in this country.

We need a shock to the system. We need to restore sanity before this country totally collapses.
