BIDEN COMES TO WILKES-BARRE

 

For the first time in fifty years, a sitting President has come to Wilkes-Barre. President Joe Biden came to Wilkes University and did not disappoint. The President  forcefully defended the FBI as the agency and its employees have come under withering criticism and threats of violence since executing a search warrant at former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence earlier this month. Biden also used his remarks Tuesday to promote his administration’s crime-prevention efforts and to continue to pressure Congress to revive a long-expired federal ban on assault-style weapons. Democrats and Republicans worked together in a rare effort to pass gun safety legislation earlier this year after massacres in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas. They were the first significant firearm restrictions approved by Congress in nearly three decades, but Biden has repeatedly said more needs to be done.

Biden also said he would work to ban assault weapons. He said, "I did it once before and I'll do it again" referring to his time in the Senate in the 90s.  The President said there is no good reason for guns that kill like that and eviscerate bodies of children, so much so that some parents needed to provide DNA to identify the victims. 

A crowd of 500 people reveled in the manner in which Biden addressed them. Relying on his Scranton roots, he gave a friendly but commanding performance. Anyone who will tell you “he’s senile” or “not up to the job”, you know the usual GOP talking points didn’t see him today. Senator Bob Casey, Governor Tom Wolf, Attorney General Josh Shapiro, Congressman Matt Cartwright, Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti and Wilkes-Barre Mayor George Brown (who introduced the President) were among the dignitaries.

and then there were the Trumpanzees, aka ***holes"

TREASON IN FRONT OF OUR EYES

Anyone who chooses to ignore the signs the Republican party under Trump are telegraphing had better be prepared for a different type of country in a few years. Unlike quiet coup plotters ala Julius Caesar these guys are telling us what they are going to do.

Lyndsay Graham for example. Here’s telling us right off the bat that if Trump gets indicted, people will riot in the streets. He might be saying this is ONLY a prediction but he is telling the “crazies”, the “proud boys” and the Trumpanzees to get ready to rumble.

That is TREASON! Not free speech but treason. Plain and Simple.

Then there is Doug Mastriano running for Governor in the state we call home. A photo surfaced recently of the former military man, a 30 year veteran by the way, dressed up in a Confederate Soldier uniform. 

Am I wrong here or didn’t guy in a Confederate uniform fight to keep slavery? Didn’t the guys in a Confederate uniform represent states that left the Union? Didn’t the guys in Confederate uniforms take the side of oppression rather than a unified nation?

By wearing that uniform Mastriano has made a mockery of all soldiers who died for THE UNITED STATES (all 50 of them) OF AMERICA as well as the men and women who served and died in the cause of liberty. Liberty from oppressive foreign enemies.

Never did I dream we’d need liberty from our domestic enemies like Graham and Mastriano.

They are unpatriotic thugs.
