Biden is Turning America Into a True Banana Republic
The lack of a truly independent and functioning press corps is an existential threat to America's survival.
Last week, Joe Biden, our sock puppet-in-chief, knowingly, willingly and gladly violated the constitution and defied the courts in order to extend the CDC’s clearly illegal moratorium on evictions. I asked at the time during a radio interview, if he is willing to admittedly and happily act in an unconstitutional manner on that issue, why would anyone think he would stop there?
On Tuesday, Biden let it be known that he is “checking” to see whether or not he has the authority to implement a national mask-wearing order, something both he and former President Donald Trump have publicly acknowledged no president has the authority to do. From a story at the New York Post:
Excerpt:
President Biden said Tuesday that his administration is examining whether he can order universal masking in public schools, overriding Republican governors in states like Florida and Texas.
“I don’t believe that I do [have that power], thus far,” Biden told reporters during an event in the East Room of the White House. “We’re checking that.”
Just days before he issued his clearly unconstitutional order extending the moratorium ban Biden said exactly the same thing. Yet he went ahead and did it anyway, knowing full well that, thanks to a national corporate media establishment that acts as the propaganda megaphone for the Democrat Party, there would be no political price to pay for clearly violating the law.
And to be clear: If Donald Trump had admittedly issued an illegal executive order, the news media would have been calling for civil disobedience and the Democrats in congress would have been mounting another impeachment effort. The same would have been true had Trump said what Biden said on Tuesday, that he was even exploring such a thing.
WE ALL KNOW THAT IS TRUE. Do not even pretend it isn’t.
Once that unambiguous precedent has been established, no despot in the making - as Biden very clearly is - would dream of limiting the utilization of such unbridled power to a single issue that is fairly minor in the grand scheme of things. Thus, Biden’s statement on Tuesday sends a clear signal that Americans can expect to see him issue a clearly unconstitutional national mask order in the weeks, or perhaps mere days, to come.
Once he has done that and again seen that there will be no political price whatsoever to pay, what would then stop Biden from next issuing a national stay-at-home order, or a national mandate to be vaccinated, or an executive order doubling the membership of the supreme court, or an order abolishing the filibuster, or an order unilaterally awarding citizenship to the 22 million or so illegal aliens currently living in the United States (the official 11 million number is a fiction that dates back to 2008)?
Clearly, there is nothing stopping Biden at this point from doing any of this, because America no longer has a functioning national press corps. And that, friends and enemies, is an existential threat to our nation’s survival.
The founders of this country knew that the long-term survival of the United States as a functioning constitutional republic depended on two overriding factors:
That the voters would be cognizant enough and well-enough educated to generally elect representatives who are patriotic Americans, and who would act in good faith to carry out their sworn duties; and
When the voters failed to do that, the first amendment to the constitution would guarantee that a free, independent and functioning press corps would hold the bad actors accountable for their actions.
We now live in a country in which neither of those two crucial factors any longer exist in any real way. The general population has been dumbed down to the point at which the vast majority of voters have no clue who they are voting for other than the “R” or “D” or “I” that appears next to their name on the ballot, and again, the press corps is made up of pretty much nothing more than lapdog sycophants of the Democrat Party.
Given that state of affairs, what barrier is there to prevent the man below, whose dementia has advanced to the point at which he can’t even follow a sidewalk into the oval office, even when two secret service agents point it out to him, from becoming our country’s first Central American banana republic-style strong man?
The answer is nothing. Nothing at all.
So when you see me say that our utterly corrupt corporate news media establishment is an existential threat to our nation’s survival, this is exactly what I mean.
God help us.
That is all.

Yup. Smith-mundt normalization act under Obama opening the airways to domestic propaganda. But lets be honest, the CDC moritorium originated under Trump and was extended once I believe before kavanagh even said it was unconstitutional under Bidens term but was going to let it 'ride out' for one month (because nobody defends the constitution anymore). The media never peeped at the cdc's then apparent abuse of power during the Trump admin because this is what they want:
Normalization for government dependence that they can use as a building block for universal basic income which the people will beg for when this extension expires. Oh joy. "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy."
