In essence, Joe Biden kicked off his reelection campaign mumbling through a theatrically contrived speech in Valley Forge, Pa., arranged to coincide with the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021, debacle at the U.S. Capitol. Staging this at the site of George Washington’s Revolutionary War headquarters in front of a backdrop of American flags, Biden shamefully misappropriated the father of our country as an implicit endorser of his reelection.
Biden’s handlers seem convinced Donald Trump will be his opponent. The oft-repeated slogan of his tirade loaded with exaggerations, paranoia and demagoguery was that Trump was “a threat to democracy,” echoing the drumbeat Democrats, progressives, and the liberal media have long pounded. Biden equated Trump to a would-be king and dictator. He claimed that “Democracy is on the ballot,” “Your freedom is on the ballot,” and issued a “sacred pledge” that the central cause of his presidency will be the defense, protection, and preservation of democracy.
Conspicuously omitted in his pledge was the most important and only presidential duty expressly specified in the oath of office, which reads:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
