Biden hasn’t learned how to say no

On a Tonight Show episode President Ronald Reagan was asked his choice of an $80 million or $50 million deficit. Instead, he replied, “I want a balanced budget.” Host Johnny Carson asked, “How?” Reagan replied, “It’s just like protecting one’s virtue — learning to say no!”

The Biden administration hasn’t learned to say no. No to Green New Deal climate subscribers who rake in billions in government grants; No to abrupt solar replacement of fossil fuels; No to millions of illegal immigrants, criminals, sex traffickers and fentanyl that’s crippling our economy and killing our young; No to locking up oil and gas deposits under our feet; No to Chinese buying our emergency Strategic Oil Reserves; or No to $31M Chinese funding for the Biden family. Every policy causes gargantuan gas prices, paper money hyperinflation, rising interest rates, and indeed real recession in this America Last agenda.

We’re killing our coal industry and capping our wells while begging our enemies for more oil and while China is building 40 new coal plants. The elite demand quick transition to $60,000 electric cars and solar equipment that depends on China’s raw materials.

Additionally, progressive leaders aren’t saying no to killing preborn babies, reducing our Black population by abortion three times other ethnic groups or no to biological gender distinctions, nuclear family destruction, and dumbed-down education. The result: No virtue left to protect!

America, with God’s help and responsible citizen action there still is hope. Stand up, speak up, and yes, vote.
