HART: Biden’s Creepy Speech And The Battle For A Sold-Out Nation

After campaigning on bringing us together, Joe Biden gave the most divisive campaign speech ever. The address was staged from Philadelphia’s Independence Hall at Hunter Biden’s suggestion. He heard somewhere that the Liberty Bell had crack.

As if it were some sanctioned government speech, Biden stood up there with Marines behind him. It was oddly eerie: backlit by red lights on a dark stage, with a creepy lighted face like he was telling a campfire ghost story. The whole thing felt like some sci-fi movie of Orwell’s book, 1984.

Looking like the banjo guy from Deliverance, Biden squinted into the teleprompter and read what he was told to read. It was painful. It would have been easier if he had just turned the teleprompter around and let us read it for ourselves. 

In short, he said that those who think the 2020 election was unfair, “MAGA Republicans,” or who have opinions different from the majority opinion, are somehow enemies of the state. It was very Soviet.

The next week, Peter Doocy of Fox News read to Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre her tweets from 2016, in which she said Trump and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp stole the 2016 election. It reminds me of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels’ tactic, “Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”

The speech condemned 75 million Americans who voted for Trump as essentially criminals. During the slurred speech, President Joe Biden called “MAGA Republicans” a threat to “the very foundations of our republic” and to “the very soul of this country.” Right on cue, members of the media giddily cheered the speech as “heroic.” 

It was a chilling speech, vilifying his opponents and condemning those who voted for them. As creepy as it was, I could only imagine how scary it was the first time it was given 80 years ago in its original form: German. 

It seems our political discourse has become meaner, with almost no discussion of issues. It is shirts and skins (often, Brownshirts and skinheads). That need not be. Mikhail Gorbachev just died, and we are reminded of Ronald Reagan and “Gorby” coming to terms on tearing down the Berlin Wall, ending Soviet Communism. Later in life, Gorbachev fought with Putin on policy issues, so Putin killed him in a new way for political backtalkers: slowly.

There was a state funeral for Gorby, which Putin snubbed, but sent his goons. When his widow tossed the wreath at his funeral, you did not want to be the person in the audience who caught it with ex-KGB watching. 

Soviet/Putin-like tactics have not been lost on our current Deep State Democrat leadership. Going after political opponents with the blunt force of government, controlling the media, and the permanent administrative state in D.C. are hallmarks of this administration. If you walk down the hall to the Green Room at CNN or MSNBC, there are tribute pictures hanging in the hallway of DOJ, IRS and FBI agents who tried undermining Trump. 

The relationship with the leftist media remains cozy. They call a man a woman, a recession “an economy in transition,” etc. We are in a world of government-sanctioned disinformation that defies reason. This administration has become the “Thought Police.” 

Science has become politicized to the point that many Americans do not trust science or scientists. If you ask how monkeypox is spread, you certainly are not going to get a straight answer.  

The Deep State, at the behest of the Biden administration, still uses brute force to harass Trump. They raided his home! The documents he had there were apparently so important that, 20 months after the government goons knew they were gone, they had to raid a country club ahead of the November mid-term elections to return them to the National Archives. However, they did find in Trump’s possession at the country club they raided a book of important secrets: Ben Hogan’s Secrets of Golf. 

For years, the Clintons and Bidens have gotten away with much more damaging “alleged” crimes, and they are rewarded with book deals and Hollywood adulation. Chelsea Clinton and Hillary Clinton got an Apple-Plus deal to do a show. I hope it is funny. I suggest a Jerry Seinfeld knock-off title: “Clintons in Cars Knocking Off Witnesses.”

Both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden tell Trump they want to see him in prison. Trump should tell them he promises to visit them often.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
