Biden has no mandate – here’s why he was really hired and how his left-wing agenda will backfire

Liz Peek Articles

Joe Biden woke up on third base and thinks he hit a triple.

Someone has told the president that he was elected by the American people to fundamentally change our country. He thinks he has a mandate, and that all that stands between him and success is a few ornery Republicans in the Senate who refuse to get out of the way.

Correction. Biden believes that the only thing standing between him and greatness are cranky senators who do not see the United States as systemically racist, who don’t believe in vastly expanding the welfare state, who think that individual creativity and achievement have built our great country and who are absolutely positive that Democrats are leading us down a very dangerous path.

Because, as hard as it is to imagine, it is greatness to which this hesitant, stumbling reciter of platitudes aspires.

Our president, who needs Cliff notes to get through a press conference, wants to be the next FDR and held a two-hour off-the-books meeting with presidential historians to figure out how best to accomplish that. Biden wants to be carved into Mount Rushmore, and the liberal media is egging him on.

Someone needs to interrupt Biden’s afternoon nap and tell him the truth. He was not elected to “get things done,” as he claimed during his recent (rare) encounter with the media. He was not “hired to solve problems”.

He was elected because he was not Donald Trump. This is not supposition; it is fact. More people voted against Donald Trump than for Joe Biden. That is the truth.

The fact is that Biden was barely elected. He is in the Oval Office today by virtue of some 44,000 votes in three states – Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin. That’s it. In addition, Biden’s party has the slimmest of majorities in the House – only eight seats – and no majority at all in the senate.

Biden has no mandate.

Americans certainly did not deliver a mandate to enact a far-left agenda. They believed that Biden was a moderate, because they had been told so by such eminent Democrats as Rep. James Clyburn, who on that premise helped him win the pivotal primary in South Carolina.

Party officials panicked when it appeared Bernie Sanders might become their candidate. They knew voters would consider the Vermont self-proclaimed democratic socialist too progressive, no matter how mad they were at Trump.

If Democrats feared Sanders was too radical to win an election, why does Biden think the country wants him to adopt the Sanders agenda?

The prevailing narrative from the leftist media, on full display during the president’s press conference, is that Democrats need to ditch the filibuster to push their “popular” agenda forward. But much of the agenda is not popular except with progressives, which includes much of the impatient, demanding media.

It is exactly this moment for which the 60-vote rule in the Senate was created.

The filibuster is essential because our nation is profoundly divided. We disagree on many issues, and the GOP, which is barely in the minority, holds the more popular position on several proposals currently under consideration. They should stand firm.

Take voting laws. Democrats are eager to pass H.R. 1, the so-called For the People Act, which would federally dictate how the country votes and, among other things, prohibit voter ID requirements. But a Rasmussen poll shows that 75% of likely voters support demanding some form of photo identification for voting, including 60% of Democrats, 77% of Independents and even 69% of Black voters.

Or consider Democrats’ pro-union PRO Act, which would outlaw right-to-work laws adopted by 27 states. Polling historically has shown popular support for those RTW laws that give workers the freedom to opt out of joining a union.

In Virginia, where Democrats now control the state government, progressives have pushed to abolish the state’s right-to-work statute, but moderates have stood in the way. They know the laws are important to creating a pro-business climate and attracting jobs.

How about reparations, which are getting a trial run in Chicago’s suburbs and which the Biden White House says we should consider? Last summer, even as Black Lives Matter protests spotlighted racial grievances, only about 20% of Americans thought that taxpayer funds should go to righting wrongs that occurred over one hundred years ago.

How do Americans feel about the surge of people trying to illegally cross our southern border, encouraged by welcoming words and acts from President Biden? A new ABC News/Ipsos poll shows 57% of voters disapprove of Biden’s handling of immigration.

Americans are not on board with open borders; they know that a wave of undocumented workers will crush wages for people at the bottom of the income ladder. They know that unchecked in-migration brings security risks and, in the midst of a pandemic, a serious health threat.

A Morning Consult/Politico poll shows 48% of voters oppose Biden’s plan to welcome as many as 125,000 refugees during the next fiscal year, up from 15,000, while fewer than 40% approve it. Among the 28 executive orders Biden signed in the early weeks of his presidency, the order mandating the jump in refugees was the least popular by a wide margin.

The media would have us think that on all these issues far-left Democrats are in the mainstream. They are not.

The only part of the progressive agenda that garners widespread support is giving people “free” money. Biden thinks that because most Americans enjoyed getting a $1,400 check in the mail, his agenda is widely popular. He could not be more wrong. Once those checks are spent, Biden’s popularity will be spent, too.

And Mount Rushmore will recede further and further from his grasp.

Inflation already hurting Americans, and Biden's Build Back Better will make things even worse

Are you better off than you were two years ago? That’s what Republicans will ask voters a year from now.

Inflation is worldwide and COVID induced.

Swamp Think

Peek's article posted today on the Fox News website did not mention one word about President Trump's accomplishment of not only leading the way to American Energy Independence but for the country to become net exporters of the energy we and our allies could really use now.

Under President Trump, oil was in the low 40s (while on the same page, oil traders are now predicting as high as $200/barrel this month!), gas in our tanks cost below two bucks, inflation was under two percent and gas station attendant Putin with an economy about the size of Italy's and who is totally dependent on the price of energy was placed in an economic cage… by President Trump.

Instead Peek gives credit to media Saint Obama for his "all the above" strategy which consistent with how he operated was all campaign talk with ZERO follow through.

Does Peek not remember that Saint Obama's response to Putin invading Crimea was to send blankets.

If you want a quick read on Swamp Think, check in with Fox News.

From the Murdoch boys and Paul Ryan on down, no one is pushing the self-serving, elite globalists agenda of running the world as their personal piggy bank harder than Fox News.

And how are the globalists doing at managing world affairs?

No Trump, No Trump Doctrine

There's a growing rumble, by the minute, from people all over the planet who are suddenly missing Trump's policies, not necessarily Trump.

First, Trump's policies, domestic and foreign, were clear and common-sense driven which is anathema to the Swamp control freaks who thrive on complication and confusion to mask their real agendas and who they're really working for.

Second, the hypocrites who are now lamenting Trump's policies are the same, domestic and foreign, who fought Trump every inch of the way to prevent the implementation of policies that clearly worked.

Third, without Trump the fighter, no Trump policies would have ever seen the light of day.

And without what is now collectively the Trump Doctrine, what clear metric would we have to truly understand the depth and devastation of the Biden/Swamp debacle?

Don't you know that the global supply chain story is done on purpose for there to be empty shelves at the grocery stores and what not to screw with the public. This is done by the world economic Forum with the likes of Klaus Schwab Bill Gates and George Soros and their ilk

YOU are the delusional personality, dear. Sticking it against the US to please 🖕trump and putin. Disgusting anti American.

Maybe Liz you would support some immigration reform , you bitch about not having enough servers in your entitled selfish world , oh and you are against mask wearing too , how trumpian of you, the pandemic is all a hoax to you , just dont get sick out there might not be any hospital beds for you . The drs and nurses are sick and tired of taking care of anti mask anti vax selfish repubs Go claim your Darwin Award .

President Trump lost the election you are such a dummy he got over 95 million the other yo-yo got about 45 million the rest was fake you're a disgrace. Www.magapill.com

Liz Peek: Progressives' drubbing opens door to (unlikely) Biden pivot, changing of the guard

They may not know it yet, but the ultra-liberal cabal that has choked Democrat politics and humiliated spineless party leaders like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has lost its mojo.

Joe Biden wanted to be an historic president- and he has done that. Worst ratings slide of any president since WWII.
He (or whoever is running WH) doesn’t care about voters’ top issues – instead Team Biden obsessing about climate change, gender and race.
No wonder he’s in trouble!

Liz Peek: Biden vs. Americans – his priorities, like climate change, ignore top worries of most voters

Voters are worried about inflation, jobs, crime, education and our open border, while the Biden White House is laser-focused on climate change, transgender rights, racism and reducing inequality.

The great days turned to very bad days in less than a year.
Congress needs a flip to GOP next year to stop the craziness

Climate change is important.
The GOP may not care about it now, but their children will.
He is trying to get an infrastructure bill through.
He has had issues with Afghanistan, but what else could he do
The people who are taking over Afghanistan were released by the previous administration.
I am sure that Biden is not perfect but he is better than Trump.

Your bias is ridiculous. Makes you a bad writer. Btw avg teacher pay is way above 31000. Sensationalize much?

worst ratings only from a side thats ignorant to the truth. the effects of coming off a pandemic with oil companies profitting off the pumps in order to pay their shareholders back from profits lost. inflation effects the entire world but of course your base doesnt pull their heads out their asses for one second to look around and use common sense. keep spreading bullshit and weakening our country til it no longer functions as a democracy….bc i see through your fake Christian patriotic pow wows. you are the opposite of ehat you claim and you are the definition of what you claim your rivals are. deflection, projection, hypocrisy. 3 words that sum you up
