Anybody Running This Country?

Anybody Running This Country?

America is in chaos. Our economy is faltering. Our borders are in shambles, and the world is laughing at us. You know it, I know it, and yet the people in power act like everything is fine. But let’s face it, we don’t even know who’s running the country anymore. Joe Biden is barely coherent, and Kamala Harris is nowhere to be found. This is a crisis—one that demands action and fast. If we don't put Donald Trump back in the White House, we might not have a country left to save.

Let’s start with the obvious: Joe Biden is unfit to lead. His cognitive decline is painfully clear to anyone paying attention. From forgetting names during key meetings to wandering aimlessly during public appearances, the man is a shadow of the leader we need. But instead of stepping aside, Biden is propped up like a puppet, and it becomes more evident by the day who is pulling the strings. It’s not Joe—it’s Jill. Yes, First Lady Jill Biden has been front and center, making speeches at cabinet meetings, hosting White House events, and wielding influence in ways we’ve never seen before.

As tensions escalate in Ukraine and Israel, the glaring absence of strong American leadership is more evident than ever. Under this administration, our adversaries are emboldened while our allies question our resolve. The Biden White House has responded slowly, offering weak condemnations and tepid sanctions that do little to deter aggression.

In Ukraine, Russia continues its relentless assault. At the same time, in Israel, the conflict with Hezbollah and Hamas intensifies, all under the watch of a U.S. president who seems more interested in avoiding tough decisions than leading on the global stage. This lack of decisive American action has left a power vacuum being filled by hostile nations, further destabilizing already volatile regions.

What’s even more troubling? Kamala Harris, the woman who should be stepping up, is nowhere to be found. We’ve heard for years that she’s “the last person in the room” when decisions are made, but where is she now? She appears to be in hiding. Is she waiting for Biden to falter entirely so she can quietly take over, American people be damned? Harris has a constitutional duty to ensure that Biden is fit for office, yet she’s done nothing but lie to the American people. Remember when she called him “bold and vibrant” earlier this year? Bold and vibrant? Are you kidding me?

And while Biden's inner circle scrambles to cover for his failings, the country is slipping into chaos. Crime is skyrocketing, inflation is gutting middle-class families, and our global enemies are becoming more emboldened by the day. The Democrats have completely lost control. They’ve traded leadership for image management and the politics of joy, whatever that is. They are pretending everything is fine while the ship is sinking.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is out there still fighting for this country. Love him or hate him, as President Trump got things done. Under his leadership, we had a booming economy, secure borders, and a world that respected—and feared—us. He didn’t need a teleprompter to make sense. He spoke from his gut, and the American people responded. Compare that to the embarrassment we’re seeing now; the contrast couldn’t be more apparent.

America needs strength, not photo-ops. We need a leader who can take on China, restore our economy, and bring law and order back to our streets. We need Trump, and we need him now. This is a fight for the soul of our nation, and if we don’t act soon, we may never get another chance.

We can’t afford four more months of this charade, let alone another four years. It’s time to bring back Donald Trump and restore America to the greatness it once knew. Right now, under Biden and Harris, the country is not just on the wrong track—it’s off the rails.
