Op-ed:
The Blame Game Continues
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor /

So many love to place blame on others
yet those who do so are the very ones who refuse to accept blame for
occurrences even of their own doing. And no one person or group is
the masterful orchestrator of the blame game more so than are today's
Democrats. In fact, Democrat failures and promises broken are of epic
proportion, yet those failures always seem to be the Republicans
fault. Take for example that our economy is in a shambles due to
Biden's disastrous policy failures what with inflation at a 40-year
high and gas prices being laughable at best...for OPEC that is; our
Strategic Petroleum Reserves are dangerously low; and our southern
border is in such a mess that why do we even have a border at
all...which for all intents and purposes we do not, at least not for
the time being that is.
Now in regards to the border, about ten
days ago the “U.S. Customs and Border Protection” officially released
the number of those who illegally crossed into our country in
December 2022...numbers to the tune of border patrol agents and
immigration officials having over 251,487 so-called “encounters”
with ILLEGAL persons...I will not call them immigrants nor migrants
for these folks, for the most part, are anything but. One quarter of
a million ILLEGALS, comprising an invading army of
sorts, crossed into our country in that one single month alone, not
including the over 70,000 so called “gotaways”...“gotaways”
who are now freely roaming
America's streets...70,000 including drug dealers, gun
dealers, murders, rapists, and God only knows what else...with even a
bonafide terrorist or two, or three, or most likely more, thrown in
for good or should I say bad measure.
And
while the numbers stated were not only a record breaking
monthly high, said numbers were actually the highest number ever...a
record that even now is set be broken what with 717,660+ ILLEGAL
“encounters” in the first three months of Fiscal Year 2023 alone, and
that's not including the
newest
batch of “gotaways.” And if those numbers stay on track, it's projected that FY2023 will see roughly 2.9 million ILLEGALS crossing our southern border with most not legally eligible for asylum.
And who do the Democrats still blame
for those numbers...Republicans of course and most especially
President Trump no matter the fact that during his years in office
the numbers alone show that ILLEGALS successfully crossing our
southern border was at an all time low. In fact, in February 2019,
97,000+ ILLEGALS crossed our border according to
“US
Customs and Border Protection data” and of those 70,100+ were
actually turned away.
So why do Democrats continue to blame
Republicans, and especially President Trump, for the now ever
increasing number of folks illegally still entering our country
today? It's simply because when Biden dismantled most of Trump's
initiated border polices...policies he put in place in order to
regain control of the situation at our southern border...Trump
exposed a system both rife with fraudulent “asylum” claims
along with a seemingly unending backlog of cases. And Democrats could
not and would not accept as fact that their deliberately broken
immigration policies were being reversed back to what were
long-standing, on-the-books immigration laws that actually worked.
And with the bonus for Republicans being a decrease in the number of
ILLEGALS being given Democrat marked voter cards upon entry, the
Democrats were literally besides themselves for an increase in
Democrat voters is what the border is really all about.
And besides the border of course
Republicans do get the blame for our economy basically being in the
toilet for no matter how much Biden bloviates about an
increase in jobs numbers, the fact is that the recent small rise in
said numbers is simply due to holiday part-time hiring coupled with some
folks being forced to take on more than one job just to pay for a
carton of eggs. Simply, our economy is that bad because we are indeed now
in a
“recession” no matter the Democrats saying we are
not...or at least they're not willing to admit it yet...which is something they might never do.
Why so...simply because the truth is a very hard pill to swallow let alone admit to especially when it comes to Democrats.
The definition of a “recession”
is simply when a significant decline in economic activity occurs
leaving a nation’s economy to experience negative gross domestic
product (GDP) over a given back-to-back period of time, coupled with
rising levels of unemployment, falling retail sales, and what's
called “contracting measures of income and manufacturing”
also occurring within a given but extended period of time. And while
“recessions” are actually a normal part of the business
cycle...as in the “regular cadence of expansion and contraction
that occurs in a nation’s economy”...in
today's Democrat initiated economic cycle "We the People" as well as the economy itself have become victims of
their out of control spending which has directly led to excessive
debt piling up as witnessed by both the national debt and debt
ceiling cap continuing to rise.
And with us still being in the throws
of
“inflation,” along with a corresponding rise in interest
rates, all this when put together means
“We the People” could be facing the
very real possibility that in time
“deflation”...which
is when prices decline over too short a period of time causing wages to contract thus
further depressing prices as both people and business stop
spending...will leave us to see an already bad economic situation becoming
even worse.
So how did the “tax and spend”
Democrats create the current “recession” we now find
ourselves in...simply by Biden's reversing the highly successful
economic policies that President Trump put in place when he assumed
office back in 2016. And when you couple that with the Democrats out
of control government spending and their believing...or their at
least their crossing their fingers behind their backs...that running
up the national debt has little to no consequences, the disastrous
state our economy now finds itself in clearly does rest on Democrat
shoulders. And yet they again blame Republicans and most especially
President Trump. But why blame Trump...because to Democrats Donald J.
Trump remains now and forever the “villain” who stopped
Hillary Clinton from not only becoming America's first woman
president, but a president who would outwardly and ever so happily
initiate in full Barack HUSSEIN Obama's “fundamentally
transforming” socialist agenda as America's new everyday norm.
After all, everything for the Democrats
is about wanting government control of the masses...a social agenda and
especially a socialist based economic system would do just that.
And then there's the matter of our
Strategic Petroleum Reserves (the SPR)...our so-called “rainy
day fund of oil”...a manipulative tool now being used by the
Biden administration in the applying of both domestic and foreign
policy. Established in the 1970's to help reduce the impact of
disruptions in supplies of petroleum based products as well as to aid
those here in the U.S. and elsewhere in times of natural disasters,
these federally-owned oil stockpiles, which used to be at a high of
714 million gallons stored before Joe Biden took office, dropped to
405 million barrels by mid-October 2022, its lowest level since 1986.
And why...because Biden has not been able to replenish these reserves
due to his halting all domestic oil drilling and gas leases, plus his
canceling of the Keystone Pipeline on his first day in office...all
being done in the name of his and the Democrats nonsensical
anti-drilling, anti-American, climate change agenda. Remember, just
like with Obama, Biden cannot and must not allow our nation to become energy
independent like it was under President Trump...America's enemies and
especially Obama, his now and forever puppet master, would not like
that at all.
And so the man who in 2022 not only
shipped millions of reserve barrels overseas...including selling
one million plus barrels to a Chinese government owned gas company
that routinely not only buys Russian oil, but where his infamous son Hunter has engaged in years of potentially criminal business activity. And Joe Biden also released millions of
barrels here at home in a doomed to fail attempt to reduce inflation...doomed because prices at the pump had actually begun rising again. And this is
the same man who not only bought into the hype that it's America who
needs to address worldwide oil supply so-called
“imbalances,”
but who will continue to
diminish our much needed strategic oil supply in the name of
“oil
equity.”
But even with this the Democrats still
claim that it's Republicans and President Trump who must shoulder the
blame for our strategic oil reserves running so low and not Joe
Biden. And why...because Trump did not replenish said reserves while
in office. But the fact is that President Trump did indeed try to
replenish the reserves, especially it being a time when oil prices
were low. But the Democrats relished in stopped him by cutting the
funds needed to do so...cutting the funds out of their massive
stimulus spending bill it was included in while at the same time
claiming the request for said funds was nothing but a Trump “bailout”
for the oil industry, which it clearly was not.
And if Trump had
been able to do what he proposed, we taxpayer would have saved
many billions of dollars by us having remained energy
independent...the very thing the Democrats and Biden's puppet
master Barack HUSSEIN Obama...would not and could not allow.
And so the Democrats blame game against
Republicans and President Trump continues on and always will. But
it's not just because of the fundamental ideological and political differences
between the two parties, but because as things stand now with a lack
of personal responsibility becoming the new accepted societal norm
coupled with the Democrats laissez-faire attitude of anything goes, our
country will remain an America most of us no longer recognize. And with
that 2024 cannot come fast enough...case closed.
