On April 12th of this year, I wrote a post on United States Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV). You can access it here. Manchin is a moderate Democrat from a red state. I was bothered when he supported President Joe Biden’s initial stimulus package that didn’t stimulate anything except a radical left-wing agenda. However, recent events make me hopeful that he might do what we need to preserve much of what we hold near and dear.
Democrat leaders in the United States Senate are committed to eliminating the filibuster, but Manchin has maintained his opposition to eliminating or even weakening the filibuster. He has support from fellow Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). I’m happy for that support. It is very difficult to be the lone voice standing in opposition to caucus leadership. It is much easier to stand firm with even one other person supporting you.
President Biden’s appetite for spending knows no limits. Moderate old Joe from Scranton exited the scene long ago. He has morphed into a hard core leftist. Yes I know, he is demented, and it may well be that he is a puppet. Doesn’t matter. He is the President. When his administration proposes and supports programs and legislation, it sets the agenda.
The Biden Administration has proposed the For the People Act (gag me with a spoon). It is a bloated bill that is supposed to expand voting rights, among other things. In reality, the legislation would go a long way toward “federalizing” elections, thereby diminishing the influence of the states. Manchin does not believe this partisan legislation should pass.
Our representative republic is hanging by a thread. The left controls the academy, sports, entertainment, and tech companies. In addition to that, they have the presidency and the House of Representatives. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema might be the two people that stand in the breach. They may be all we have left to prevent an irreversible lurch to the left. By no means am I suggesting they are on our team, but they have the ability to prevent a total takeover by the left. We can only hope and pray they have the courage to stand strong.
NOTICE: You are going to receive a bonus post tomorrow. It’s different than anything you’ve seen so far. Brace yourself!
Biden is demented? Biblically we are not to speak evil about our leaders....I don't meant to speak evil of him, however it's simply an unfortunate fact that he happens to be a moron....no fault of his...bless his heart!
