Biden’s America resembling Soviet era hellhole

Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author.

I’m old enough to remember watching news reports about the Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellite states describing electricity blackouts, showing stores with empty shelves and people standing in long lines at shops to purchase scarce necessities.

Commentators explained how only government officials had access to nice homes or cars and how only government employees and Communist Party members were exempt from the rules they established for the populace.

I saw it for myself in the early 1960s when I visited East Germany, crossing through Check Point Charlie, into East Berlin. I visited again 20 years later in the early 1980s before the “Wall” came down. Nothing had changed in that 20-year interval. The city was still drab, people on the street dour and scruffily dressed, and store shelves still empty.

I witnessed the armed VOPO (Volkspolizei) guards, minefields along the border wall, and vicious dogs that kept their sad citizens from crossing into the West. The guards, army and government agents were the only people in East Germany with guns, the populace had long ago been disarmed.

In an attempt to spend the worthless East German currency we were forced to accept at the border crossing in exchange for West German Deutsch Marks, my colleague and I approached an elderly woman on the street selling a few bottles of booze from a sparsely stocked shelf on a wall behind her. We each bought one of her last remaining bottles.

A few weeks later in my apartment in Paris, a friend from the UK was visiting and explaining to me the marvels of socialism and how Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was ruining Britain. I offered him a drink, poured him a glass of my East German hootch, and asked him to tell me what he thought. He wrinkled his nose, pursed his lips, and spat: “That’s the worst thing I’ve ever tasted. What is it?” I responded saying, “It’s what you’re talking about.”

I recall thinking during both visits to East Germany how fortunate I was to be a citizen of the United Sates, a country and culture that gave the world miraculous advances in science and medicine and a free market that raised billions of people around the world out of poverty. The misery I saw in that East German socialistic hellhole was nonexistent in America, just the opposite.

Not anymore. In just 18 months under Joe Biden the United States is becoming what I observed in East Berlin.

Everything Biden says is a lie. He blames inflation, supply chain problems, astronomical gas and energy prices, his foreign policy failures, potential rolling electricity blackouts, racial division, high crime, rioting and looting, Covid , etc. on Donald Trump, Putin, greedy oil companies, the weather, the bogeyman under his bed, etc. He ignores the wide-open southern border, failing to even acknowledge the massive illegal invasion, human trafficking, drug smuggling and hordes of terrorists and criminals pouring into the country. He actually said our Constitutional rights, particularly the Second Amendment, “are not absolute.”

He assembled a cabinet that resembles the island of misfit toys including a transportation secretary that couldn’t deliver a newspaper from a bike; a Treasury secretary who admits she miscalculated for inflation when that’s her job, her only job; an energy secretary whose answer to rising gasoline prices is laughter or suggesting folks buy electric cars they can’t afford; and an interior secretary who has done absolutely nothing but run up energy prices for the American consumer and make the U.S. dependent on foreign oil again.

For the past 40 years historians’ lists of America’s most disastrous presidents have consistently  ranked John Tyler, James Buchanan , Andrew Johnson, and Jimmy Carter as four of the most incompetent. Two (Buchanan and Carter) were elected and served just one term while the other two were vice presidents who entered the Oval Office following the deaths of a president: Johnson was Lincoln’s VP and Tyler served under William Henry Harrison.

Based on just 18 months in the Oval office, Joe Biden is racing to the top of the worst, heading any historian’s list of America’s most ineffectual, unqualified, and inept presidents. Our country has never been faced with such a blundering, tone-deaf, and probably mentally unbalanced individual in the White House. Sadly, there’s not a Harry Truman or Teddy Roosevelt waiting to succeed him. The woman waiting in the wings should Biden be removed from office is even less qualified.

Some in the mainstream media and a few social media platforms have finally begun to acknowledge that he’s a colossal disaster, a fact that was obvious during his 40 years in the Senate and as Obama’s VP. Yet they supported him despite a record of failure, an allergy to eloquence, his obvious mental confusion, lying and other character flaws that render him unfit to even operate a front yard lemonade stand. Worse, his mental acuity has only gotten worse, and his low intelligence appears to have hit rock bottom.

We are stuck with this mess for another thirty-two months. The only consolation is that no future president or administration will ever want to emulate or continue his disastrous programs or be compared to this bungling incompetent.

We can only pray that the November elections will result in enough opposition to put a stop to America’s slide into an East German-like state before this disastrous term ends.

  1. It almost seems like he wants to go down in history, not only as the worst president in history but also as the LAST president in history of the great experiment that was the United States of America. Biden and his administration are destroying our country intentionally.

  2. Bingo!
    What I’ve said for 4. yrs now .,
    For fk sakes America ,wake the fk up .
    This has been all planned by the communist Demorat bastards for yrs .
    It’s all in the face , you let this happen ,your fkd .
    Wait until the 10,000 illegals cross the border soon .
    Dont give up your guns ,your going to need them .

    1. In March of this year 210,000 illegals crossed our border and in April of this year 234,000 illegals crossed our border! And who knows how many were not caught! That is just for two months and now they are reporting that the largest caravan of illegals ever are heading our way! All the democrats care about is that they see these illegals as future democrat voters! FJB, the democrat party and those who voted for this idiot!

  3. I remember seeing the Russian People standing in lines to get a loaf of bread and I thought how they deserved it because they allowed Communism to live in their country. Now here we are the richest country in the world just steps away form bread lines and for the very same reason. We are allowing the Democrats/Leftists/Liberals/Socialists to destroy this country with the idea of making it a Third World Shit-Hole so that they can control our every action. It is as if they took George Orwell’s books “1984,” and “Animal Farm,” and used them as an instruction manual on how to destroy this once great Republic. God Bless America, because if we ever needed his blessing it is now.

  4. My experience in Leningrad in 1992 echo the author’s in East Germany in the ’60s & ’80s . It was a self-defeated economic basket case complete with the бабушки selling liters of vodka and grain alcohol by the Metro entrances to have a place and food to survive the next day .

  5. Correct! And, this has been intentional, not the result of incompetency, as the American left has exposed itself as the successors to the evil leftist movements of the 20th century, especially c-mmunism and n-zism.

    1. You have that right, this is all intentional and people had better wake up fast!

  6. From the BLOODY revolution of October to Pol Pott/Khmer Rouge, 115-125 million gone in SMOKE!

  7. Deadly violence IS a weapon in the armamentarium of leftist ideologues!
    In about 75 years in the preceding century btw 115 and 125 MILLION souls went to paradise (the leftist gulag)!

  8. Don’t think we sre quite there yet but we are well on our way. This summer and the upcoming November elections will be the canaries in the coal mine. Sadly I think they will be killed by the gas.

  9. The only hope we have left is the November election. It looks like the majority of voters are turning against the Democrats. Pray the Republicans can get the turnout, to sweep enough of these lunatics out of office to gain super majorities in both chambers of Congress, regardless of how much the Demokkkrats cheat. And beyond that, let’s pray it’s enough to kick out all the Rinos too. We can win big with God on our side.

    1. Don’t be too sure of a November election turnaround. Read this: “California Gov. Gavin Newsom cruised to an easy victory in Tuesday’s primary barely one year after surviving a recall attempt, advancing to the November general election where he will be an overwhelming favorite to defeat a little-known Republican state senator. Early returns Tuesday showed Newsom receiving just over 60% of the votes. He’ll face second-place finisher Brian Dahle, a Republican state lawmaker and farmer from the sparsely populated northeast corner of the state. He had about 15% of the votes.”

      What is wrong with the California voters who gave him 60% of the votes??!! It’s like signing up to be beheaded.

      1. The fix is in. They will never lose another meaningful election. They have their operatives in all the proper places to insure the turnout they need. Thinking otherwise is just fooling yourself.

      2. California is very, very liberal. There is no hope for them! We are just sitting back and watching them self destruct!

  10. The good people of this country will rise up and see to it that DOES NOT HAPPEN! Civil War before it gets that bad.

  11.  The recession is here and worse is coming. Their goal is to destroy the middle class and rule by a cabal between Democratic Politicians and big business. They were already halfway there with the millions and millions of jobs lost and small businesses crushed and bankrupted by two years of draconian COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates. Now the massive inflation and continuously rising gas prices will do the rest.

    TheCommunists/Socialists in charge learned from watching Red China under Mao that, because the Communist leaders are incapable of producing anything, they must have an unholy alliance with big business otherwise millions will starve. That’s why the CEO’s of most big businesses have gone “woke”. The Democrats promise to leave their monopolies alone and provide all the cheap labor they can dream of by unfettered illegal immigration through our open border. The CEO’s get richer and the Democrats are permanently in power.

    As the country collapses further and the middle class is destroyed, Americans will beg for more government “help” which translates to more government control. The new government policies (already being put in place) will purge the military, businesses, and, of course, the government of any opposition. The Mainstream and Social Media is already there. Coup complete. That’s also why they are “hands off” on the CCP; that’s their working model. We will become the western CCP.

    1. Don”t first Biden is also draining the strategic reserve. If our notary is needed there will be no fuel. Oh wait! That’s right the tanks and vehicles will be electric…….wuthno charging station or power to run them.

    2. And this is also the reason the democrats are now going after our guns again! If you are defenseless they will have complete power and control over you. You will be at their mercy!

  12. We have the guns and ammo plus sufficient numbers to fix this. We just don’t seem to have the guts.

    1. The good people of the U.S. need to get organized. We will take the country back.

  13. Dave Scott has written a very thoughtful and factual Op-ed, it is just amazing that we have many who were actually born in the USA that are to blind to see what Biden and the Democrat Party are doing to our great nation. Our freedom’s are being trampled upon and we have sheep wondering around that think it does not affect them. Sad, I feel so sorry for my children and grandchildren because I don’t see the now generation making a stand to stop Communism in our country. I think my saving grace is that due to age and health conditions I will not be around to see the full transformation of Communism in my life time.

    Semper Fi 1969-1989

  14. Nobody will want to emulate him? Nobody will want to be as bad a liar, or as incompetent, I’ll give you that much. But a lot of people want what they think he stands for, and see certain problems he’s brought down on us as an acceptable price. At some point, I can only hope it’s after I’m dead, we’ll have someone else. Likely a better liar.

  15. I was in west Berlin in the 80s and during President Reagan’s speech to garbage head,,,,people think I’m joking when I tell them about east Germany,,,42 ENGINEER CO..USA ARMY,,,,,,,,,,FUCK JOE BIDEN,,,,,,,
