Many, many moons ago, when I was still listening to Rush Limbaugh’s show, Rush had stated that the Left always accuses the Right of what they themselves are doing. This first struck home with me when I heard the Democrats accuse the Republicans of wanting to reinstitute the draft back at the turn of the century. They, and their sycophants in the media, have always attempted to portray the Republicans as war mongering cowboys. However, low and behold, it was the Democrats themselves, particularly Charles Rangel, who introduced legislation pushing for a reinstituting of the draft. This was one of many red pills I would swallow over the years.
The latest red pill regards Joe Biden’s recent bombing of Syria. I am old enough to remember when Biden (or more likely someone on his staff) tweeted at 8:30 pm on 6/22/2019, “Trump’s erratic, impulsive actions are the last thing we need as Commander-In-Chief. No president should order a military strike without fully understanding the consequences. We don’t need another war in the Middle East, but Trump’s actions toward Iran only make that more likely.” In point of fact, Biden’s current White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted prior to that at 9:27 pm on 4/6/2017, “Also what is the legal authority for strikes? Assad is a brutal dictator. But Syria is a sovereign country.” Next thing I know, not even 40 days into his presidency, Biden bombs Syria. As I write this, the current Associated Press headline is as follows, “Biden: Strikes in Syria sent warning to Iran to ‘be careful,’” by columnists Lolita C. Baldor, Robert Burns, and Qassim Abdul-Zahra.
Now, to be fair, Joe Biden probably has no idea that he bombed Syria. I am not sure he knows where he is half of the time. Also, most of us have come to learn by now that we cannot expect honest and fair reporting from the mainstream media. The only people left with faith in the MSM are either rabid ideologues, close-minded bubble dwellers, or imbeciles. Now that may seem harsh, but if you were okay with detaining children in ‘Obama’s Immigration Detention Center’ and ‘Biden’s Migrant Child Facility,’ but outraged by ‘Trump’s Kids in Cages,’ then you may be in one of the aforementioned groups. The bottom line is that I have a simple question that has yet to receive a satisfactory answer, and that is, ‘Why did we bomb Syria?’
