New York Post, December 29, 2023<\/p>\n

Joe Biden and the left are putting the rule of law at risk<\/a><\/h1>\n
\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

President Biden<\/a> will portray his re-election campaign<\/a> as a crusade to save American democracy.<\/p>\n

But Biden has ravaged Americans\u2019 rights and liberties ever since he took his oath of office almost three years ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden presumes he is entitled to force Americans to pay any price to buy votes for his re-election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Promising to wipe out student debt helped Biden win the 2020 presidential election<\/a>. In August last year, Biden announced a $500 billion cancellation of federal student loans, boosting Democratic candidates in the midterm congressional elections.<\/p>\n

But the Supreme Court ruled<\/a> in June that Biden\u2019s loan cancellation was an illegal power grab. Instead of respecting the Supreme Court, Team Biden concocted endless schemes to wipe out student debt. Biden boasted Tuesday that he has \u201ccanceled a total of $132 billion\u201d in student debt \u201cthrough various actions\u201d \u2014 as if presidents have unlimited power to waive any obligation to the federal government. No wonder almost half of student-loan debtors are not bothering to pay what they owe to Uncle Sam.<\/p>\n

Maximizing dependency is the recipe for perpetuating Biden\u2019s power<\/strong>. In 2021, the Biden administration canceled the food-stamp work requirement for able-bodied adults without children.<\/p>\n

COVID overreach<\/h2>\n

At a time when employers were begging people to accept jobs, the government portrayed the necessity of working as a human-rights violation \u2014 at least for minorities and women. The Biden administration tacitly invoked obesity to justify the biggest food-stamp benefit hike in history. But Team Biden fought reform proposals to prevent food stamps from being a junk-food entitlement.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration presumed that federal policymakers are an elite automatically entitled to run Americans\u2019 lives<\/strong>. Biden championed COVID vaccines<\/a> as panaceas for the pandemic, promising that people who got injections would not get COVID. After vaccines massively failed to prevent COVID infections, the White House strong-armed the Food and Drug Administration to speedily bestow full approval on the Pfizer vax regardless of myocarditis problems. Biden then dictated that 100 million American adults must get those vaccines.<\/p>\n

Biden derided the unvaxed as aspiring mass murderers who only wanted \u201cthe freedom to kill you\u201d with COVID. In January 2022, the Supreme Court struck down Biden\u2019s vaccine mandate for 84 million employees of large private companies. But the president\u2019s team perpetuated the COVID emergency and all the additional powers for the White House as long as possible.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court issued the most emphatic ratification in this century of Americans\u2019 Second Amendment rights last year. Biden responded by demonizing gun owners, calling for banning all semiautomatic firearms \u2014 more than 40 million guns possessed by private citizens.<\/p>\n

Deranged gun outbursts<\/h2>\n

Biden also calls for banning any gun magazine that holds more than 10 bullets, effectively criminalizing ownership of most modern pistols. Biden has rarely missed a chance to talk as if every gun owner is collectively guilty for the outrages committed by random maniacs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guns have spurred some of Biden\u2019s most deranged outbursts.\u00a0 On March 24, Biden announced he wanted to \u201ckeep guns out of the hands of domestic political advisers.\u201d The White House did not disclose the specific weaponry possessed by Biden\u2019s advisers. Three months ago, Biden bizarrely proclaimed: \u201cI\u2019ve been to every mass shooting.\u201d The White House did not reveal if Biden has been using time travel and a magic carpet. To justify banning so-called \u201cassault weapons,\u201d Biden perennially falsely claims that Americans were prohibited from owning cannons in the 1790s. Even The Washington Post Fact Check Czar Glenn Kessler lamented: \u201cWe have no idea where [Biden] conjured up this notion .\u2009.\u2009. but he needs to stop making this claim.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Biden took office, the dollars in American paychecks have lost 18% of their value. Inflation rose more than sixfold after January 2021, reaching the highest rate in 40 years. But when Fox News\u2019 Peter Doocy asked about the impact of inflation, Biden called him \u201ca stupid son of a bitch.\u201d Biden implied that soaring food prices wouldn\u2019t be a real problem if Americans simply bought no-name, store-brand Raisin Bran instead of Kellogg\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Inflation threat<\/h2>\n

Biden sounded sane compared to Georgia Democratic Party leader Stacey Abrams<\/a>, who touted abortion as a cure for inflation: \u201cHaving children is why you\u2019re worried about .\u2009.\u2009. how much food costs. For women, this is not a reductive issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soaring inflation sent mortgage rates to their highest levels of the century. Team Biden responded in May by practically making it a federal crime to be creditworthy.<\/strong> Biden policies intentionally punish homebuyers with good credit scores to subsidize people with shaky histories of paying their debts. The Biden Social Justice Mortgage Surtax could add $20,000 to the cost of a 30-year mortgage. Windfalls for dubious borrowers will turbo-charge bankruptcy rates in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Crosshed here<\/h2>\n

But it would be unfair to say the Biden administration has completely ignored the burden of federal regulation.<\/p>\n

For decades, Americans have groused about TSA agents<\/a> browbeating them to \u201cshow your papers\u201d prior to \u201cenhanced patdowns.\u201d The Biden administration solved the paperwork problem by permitting illegal aliens to board domestic flights merely by showing their arrest warrants from the Department of Homeland Security. Sen. Jim Risch<\/a> (R-Idaho) growled this year: \u201cIf an Idahoan gets a speeding ticket, they can\u2019t use the ticket to board a plane, so why does the president seem to think an illegal immigrant\u2019s arrest warrant is a valid form of identification to board a plane?\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden is weaponizing federal law at the same time he is exempted from the statute book.<\/strong><\/p>\n

FBI agents conducted a heavily televised raid in August 2022 on former President Donald Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago home<\/a> in Palm Beach, Fla., seizing 33 boxes of evidence and documents. Five months later, the Justice Department announced that Biden may have also wrongfully stored or possessed numerous classified documents in his home and offices. Trump was speedily indicted for his alleged offenses while Biden was effectively quickly absolved.<\/p>\n

To save democracy, Team Biden treats cynicism like a weapon of mass destruction<\/strong>. Biden\u2019s National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism explicitly proclaimed a \u201cbroader priority\u201d of \u201cenhancing faith in government.\u201d In an early 2022 meeting with Twitter bosses, Laura Dehmlow, chief of the FBI Foreign Influence Task Force, \u201cwarned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the US government,\u201d The Intercept reported.<\/p>\n

Weaponizing law enforcement<\/h2>\n

The FBI has 80 agents on a task force to curb \u201csubversive data utilized to drive a wedge between the populace and the government.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Biden administration is expanding the federal Enemies List faster than any time since the Nixon era.<\/strong> It designated guys who can\u2019t get laid as potential terrorist threats due to \u201cinvoluntary celibate violent extremism.\u201d The FBI has illegally wiretapped more than 3 million Americans in recent years, but the Biden administration recently torpedoed congressional efforts to curb that surveillance crime spree.<\/p>\n

Because of its brazen bias in the last three years, FBI now stands for \u201cFollowing Biden\u2019s Instruction.\u201d New details continue to emerge from Capitol Hill on the FBI\u2019s secret targeting of traditional Catholics and their suspicious rosaries. After parents protested at school-board meetings, the FBI counterterrorism division swooped in to investigate them across the nation.<\/p>\n

The biggest FBI boost to Biden\u2019s re-election is propelling his claim that \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d is \u201cthe single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland.\u201d The FBI classified all 1,000 people arrested for the Jan. 6 Capitol Clash as domestic terrorists \u2014 even the people busted for \u201cparading without a permit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Numerous FBI agents have become whistleblowers to expose the bizarre \u201cthreat inflation\u201d behind this panic mongering. As former FBI agent Steve Friend lamented, \u201cThere is this belief that half the country are domestic terrorists .\u2009.\u2009. Unless you are voicing what we agree, there is an understanding that you are the enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps Biden\u2019s biggest innovation is his doctrine that preserving democracy requires destroying freedom of speech. H<\/strong>is appointees launched the Orwellian Disinformation Governance Board \u2014 which The Post helped shoot down.<\/p>\n

\u2018Attack on free speech\u2019<\/h2>\n

Federal Judge Terry Doughty<\/a> condemned the Biden administration on July 4 for potentially \u201cthe most massive attack against free speech in United States history,\u201d and a federal appeals court condemned Team Biden for \u201csuppressing millions of protected free-speech postings by American citizens.\u201d House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) declared<\/a>, \u201cTwitter was basically an FBI subsidiary before Elon Musk took it over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Federal censorship tainted the 2020 and 2022 elections, suppressing tens of millions of tweets,<\/strong> YouTube videos and Facebook posts from conservatives and Republicans. But this is not a problem because Team Biden discovered another \u201cDoing God\u2019s Work\u201d hidden exemption to the Constitution. It wasn\u2019t \u201ccensorship\u201d \u2014 it was simply \u201ccontent moderation,\u201d even if victims were \u201cmoderated\u201d to oblivion.<\/p>\n

And there was no coercion because federal SWAT teams never battered down the doors of social-media companies. The Supreme Court will issue the final word on that matter \u2014 but perhaps not until pro-Biden censors steal the 2024 election.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Team Biden is working overtime to destroy Elon Musk, who helped let the federal censorship cat out of the bag. The Federal Trade Commission demanded, as The Post noted, \u201call internal communications by, from or about Musk \u2014 and telling him to name reporters he\u2019s shared info with\u201d \u2014 as if exposing White House misconduct were a federal crime. Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr<\/a> declared that \u201cBiden gave federal agencies the green light to go after\u201d Musk, spurring a campaign of \u201cregulatory harassment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ironically, Biden is almost certain to campaign next year as the \u201canti-dictator candidate,\u201d all the damning details of his record notwithstanding. Las Vegas is not yet taking wagers on how many Revolutionary War cannons Biden will dredge up for his campaign speeches.<\/strong><\/p>\n
