More Opinion by The Springboard

Did President Biden Suggest America Is At War?
"Joe Biden told the American people in his opening lines, "In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt came to this chamber to speak to the nation. And he said, 'I address you at a moment unprecedented in the history of the Union.' Hitler was on the march. War was raging in Europe.""

Is 2024 Being Set Up to be Rigged?

What is attempting to overthrow the government? Or, not just overthrowing the government, per se. But overthrowing the process of elections? I mean, anything I say here may well be a bit of a stretch, and I will give you that right off the bat if you want to make that claim.

These are just thoughts and opinions, right? 

I happen to think that those two things are simply things that are done to otherwise rig the process or stack the odds in one's favor over another.

When Donald Trump was first elected, of course, we had the whole Russia Collusion accusation to deal with. Hillary Clinton was out there and quite vocal about her thoughts that Donald Trump, with the assistance of the Russian government, had stolen the election.

They wanted to make it grounds for an impeachment while they (the Democrats) were hard at work trying to concoct other stories and accusations to set grounds for impeachment hearings to commence just in case that one didn't stick.

And of course, it didn't stick because it was a smelly, heaping pile of donkey dung.

The Democrats literally denied the election, and denied that Trump was duly elected, and therefore, for all intents and purposes, if you wanted to go there, the Democrats effectively censured the President of the United States.

They needed no official vote to censure. They did it merely by their actions. Meanwhile, the entire job of the Democrat Congress was to ignore and defile and dismiss the president and any actions he wanted to take as president, effectively denying at the same time the American people of having their work done.

It was an abomination at the least. And it seemed that no one, or hardly anyone, batted an eye. Not the media, not any of the voters who put them in office—they were mute on the issue of what was going on. 

How is that not overthrowing the government when you completely deny who is leading it? When you completely ignore the process? 

And then, of course, you have all the impeachments that happened. The primary aim of those to simply remove a duly elected president only on the basis of the fact that his presidency's legitimacy was being denied.

There was no removal because there was no conviction and there was no conviction because there were no high crimes or misdemeanors.

Now we have the removal of Trump from ballots, and in the case of two states so far, Maine and Colorado, they have voted to do just that. Granted, there will be an appeal on the Colorado case to send it to the U.S. Supreme Court, and Maine has stayed its ruling until the Supreme Court rules on Colorado. Nonetheless, they are trying really hard to remove critical electoral votes, making it much more difficult for Trump's chances to win in the general against Biden.

How is it not overthrowing the government to remove your strongest opponent? How is it not rigging an election? How is it not overthrowing the process of elections or silencing the voices of the voters? How is it that the government we know to be of the people, by the people, and for the people is now being decided by the government itself?

How is that not an insurrection?

Why should state supreme courts have a weigh-in on who becomes president? Shouldn't that be the choice of the people? Of the voters? And on top of that, does it not become obvious what the aim is if the people who are making these choices are politically motivated—and clearly so?

Whether or not you are in the camp of believers that the 2020 election was stolen, you have to give thought to the idea that if the states succeed in removing Trump from the ballot and Biden wins reelection by default, that is exactly what they have done—stolen an election.

Who else on the GOP side has the support to win, right? Because Trump's in the lead by nearly 60 points. And if Trump is not on the ballot, how many Trump supporters will switch their vote to one of the other candidates on the GOP side?

They (the Democrats) are citing the "insurrection" as their grounds for removing him from ballots. At the same time, have we really investigated what happened on January 6th? And by really investigated, I mean, have we REALLY INVESTIGATED what happened on January 6th?

The answer is no.

Where's the media except to accept the narrative as it has been told to us? Where's the special counsel to examine what really happened, to see if it was funded and by whom, and to dig deeper into who the people were who stormed the Capitol that day?

And frankly, I think more evidence points to Trump not inciting anyone than they will have us believe. But that's their story and they are sticking to it and they are now using it as a means to expel an opponent.

To steal an election.

I think what's important is that the American people decide. If Biden wins, fine. He wins. But it's not up to the government, nor is it up to the courts, to decide who gets to run.

My thought is that the U.S. Supreme Court will strike these rulings down. I believe the rulings are unconstitutional and made on the basis of unproven "facts." But who knows anymore? Can we trust that anyone in government, in any branch, can be honest and open and make the right decisions without political influences or bias?

If the decision by these states stands, that's it. We are in a land of kangaroo courts and officially a banana republic, and I fear once we become that, we can't go back from it. It's done. Elections won't matter. Campaigns won't matter. Because the government will choose its leader and no matter what the public wants, the government will have the final say.
