The Ballad of Joe Biden

25 May

I do not suppose the era of being able to do this sort of thing will last much longer. By using fake names that paralleled the real ones, I got an AI (I will not say which) to write this poem:

In the halls of power, where shadows conspire,
Lived Joe Biden, a man with ambition afire.

For thirty-six years in the Senate he reigned,
A Democrat schemer, his honor long waned.

With a grin and a wink, he’d weave his deceit,
Graft in his pockets, corruption complete.

The Democrats cheered for their crooked old star,
Whose dreams of the White House could never go far.

He ran for the prize, oh, he tried and he tried,
But the voters said no, and his hopes always died.

Yet Joe, undeterred, with his gall and his guile,
Kept climbing the ladder, mile after crooked mile.

Then fate dealt a card from a treacherous deck.
As Vice President, Joe advanced in his trek.

Under Obama, a name whispered in dread,
A Manchurian shadow with plans burning red.

This puppet of secrets sought America’s fall,
To unravel her freedoms, her strength, and her call.

Obama’s dark scheme, though, would only half bloom,
Its tendrils of treason could not seal her doom.

In the four years that followed, a short golden span.
Came President Donald Trump, a far better man.

He started to mend, the damage from before,
But he was cut short, by a scheme we deplore.

For there was confusion, a pandemic’s cruel reign,
Joe Biden saw his chance to ascend through the pain.

With ballots in chaos, he schemed in the night,
Stole victory from Trump, in a thief’s brazen flight.

Donald Trump, the brash, the unyielding, the bold,
Was ousted by Joe, whose heart was so cold.

As President Biden, he tightened his grip,
With lies as his scepter, and graft as his whip.

His foes, he pursued with a venomous zeal,
No justice, just vengeance, no truth, only steel.

His Attorney General, a tool in his hand,
Brought cases so flimsy, they crumbled like sand.

Against Trump and his allies, the charges would fly,
Fake lawsuits piled high ‘neath a scandalous sky.

For four years he ruled, with corruption his creed,
While the nation grew weary of his boundless greed.

Joe’s coffers grew heavy with ill-gotten gain,
Each bribe a new link in his glittering chain.

But the people, they watched, and their patience wore thin,
For incompetence festered where trust should’ve been.

His lies, like a plague, spread distrust and despair,
Till the voters declared, “We’ve had more than our share!”

At the end of his term, the tide turned at last,
The people looked back to the man from the past.

Donald Trump, once robbed, now rose to reclaim,
The presidency’s mantle, restoring its name.

With Joe cast aside, his schemes in disgrace,
A golden new era would dawn in his place.

Under Trump’s steady hand, the nation would mend,
As freedom and hope found their way to ascend.

No more would the shadow of Biden hold sway,
His corruption a memory, now fading away.

So let this be the tale of Joe Biden’s fall,
A caution to those who would tarnish the call.

From Senate to scandal, from vice to the throne,
He grasped for the power, but reaped what he’d sown.

Oh, Joe, with your lies and your Democrat ways,
Your legacy’s written in infamous days.

May history recall, as the ages unfold,
That truth will outshine all the graft that you sold.

Capitalism

16 Jan

Capitalism is a very simple concept. Distribution is determined by what people are able to provide and whether or not someone else is willing to trade for it. It is so natural that it happens with no governing body.

The great advantage of this system is that it forces every individual to constantly determine what they can provide that someone else will be willing to trade for, how much of it they are likely to want, and when and where they are likely to want it. This turns every individual into a computational node and results in a form of swarm intelligence that is one of the most efficient systems in nature.

The one problem, of course, is that some people may opt to steal rather than trade. This is where governments come in. Governments ensure that people trade rather than steal.

However, when governments overstep and start meddling in trade, such as by confiscating and redistributing according to some scheme, that is collectivism.

Collectivism destroys incentive. Essentially, it replaces one form of stealing with another more official form of stealing. People quickly realize that it is easier to have their government steal for them than to provide something to trade, and they become unproductive.

Collectivism is also clumsy. Governments never have enough information to distribute with nearly the efficiency of the swarm intelligence of capitalism. They invariably distribute the wrong amounts to the wrong places at the wrong times.

Communism, resource-based economies, and every form of socialism are examples of collectivism.

The Stench of the Donkey-Man

3 Dec

I learned about Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter when a friend phoned me Sunday night. I do not usually watch the news on Sunday, so I was completely unaware until she called.

At first, it seemed like just another weird gift from the Left in a season of Leftist giving. Then, I learned that Joe Biden had not merely pardoned Hunter but had given him a blanket pardon that covered all crimes, known and unknown, that he may have committed for the past eleven years. It gradually dawned on me that this was something more.

We have all seen the innumerable clips of Joe Biden saying that he would not pardon Hunter Biden. We have all seen Careening Jean-Pierre repeat Joe’s claim. Then, with just eleven days left until Hunter was scheduled to be sentenced, Joe Biden issued the blanket pardon. He gave a flimsy excuse for why he issued this pardon: “I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”

As Alan Dershowitz explained, if Joe had also issued a pardon for all the January 6 protesters as well as a pardon for Donald Trump, he could have claimed he was trying to put an end to all politically motivated prosecutions so we could enter the next administration with a clean slate. Joe Biden did not do this. Instead, he opted for the cynical and optically unthinkable choice of issuing a pardon of unprecedented scope just to his own son. Then, he left for Africa.

This pardon comes in the aftermath of learning that the Democrats and the Leftist media covered up Joe Biden’s mental decline and Kamala Harris’s bad polling numbers. Those coverups and this pardon are parting insults in the parade of lies they have been feeding Americans for the past decade.

And why issue such a protracted and sweeping pardon? What do we not know about Joe Biden and his corrupt family that might have been revealed in the days ahead?

Several legal experts, including Alan Dershowitz, have explained that this pardon removes Huter Biden’s ability to claim the fifth amendment if he is subpoenaed and questioned. This means that Joe Biden will ultimately have to pardon his brother and other family members.

Every American must now be thinking the same thing: The words of a Democrat politician mean nothing. They serve no purpose but expeditious manipulation of as many people as possible for as long a period as possible, regardless of the long-term consequences to anyone. They are not even lies. They are meaningless sounds uttered for psychological effect. They are lines in a movie that have meaning only in the context of the screening and lose all relevance upon leaving the theater. They are Harry Frankfurt’s concept of “bullshit” raised to a new level.  

However, the damage extends beyond Democrat politicians. The sycophantic news services of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune and countless others that repeat Democrat verbiage as if it was the contents of a papal ex cathedra have become part of this effect. They have all fully discredited themselves in every way and for all time.

This was done at a time when the Republicans are about to take control of every branch of government with the added advantage of being in control of Truth Social, X (formerly Twitter), and all the technology that Elon Musk is rapidly amassing…including artificial intelligence. Visualize a world caught in the midst of an I. J. Good intelligence explosion initiated and directed by MAGA Republicans.

This pardon from Joe Biden is to the Democrat establishment and all their sycophants what the Chicxulub impact was to the dinosaurs. Its political dust will circle the earth for decades blocking their sunlight until they are all dead, buried and forgotten.

Here is a bit of advice to weary travelers for the discernible future. If you notice a carcass along the roadside, do not stop. It is probably a donkey-man, and the stench will never wash off.
