Is Joe Biden really the Leader of the Free World?

To casual observers, things have changed overnight since Joe took over the Oval Office and Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats took control of Congress.

A frail Joe Biden has signed at least 37 executive orders, has not given a press conference in his first 50 days as President and seems unwilling or unable to explain his most controversial policies. The Democratic takeover of the Senate continues before a mostly unquestioning or openly biased media.

While there is no threat to the safety of members of congress, thousands of members of the National Guard and 4 miles of security fencing protects the U.S. Capitol complex, likening the Capitol grounds to a war zone. The fence, topped by razor wire, also surrounds the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress and other government buildings. What message are the Democrats sending?

Pandemic restrictions continue to restrict the movement and rights of American citizens, in spite of a vaccine and the steep drop in Covid-19 cases. But Biden has removed southern border restrictions, allowing illegal immigrants and felons from Covid ravaged Mexico and other countries, to flood in.

To placate growing public anger about the damage Government has done to American businesses and public education during the Pandemic, trillions of dollars have been dished out by the Administration, with more to come.

All the while Big Tech, which facilitated the Democratic election victory, presents a growing threat to free speech, not to mention threats issued from the leaders of key institutions such as the FBI and Department Of Defence.
