Friends, as we kiss our liberties and our constitutional system of government good bye, my latest article offers heartfelt congratulations to the incoming Commander-in-Chief, and our new dark lord, Joseph R. Biden! The pivot to "WaddyIsLeft" can't be far behind, right? Read on...
Congratulations to “President-Elect” Joe Biden!
Now that the electoral college has spoken, it is high time that we Republicans salute and recognize the next “President” of these United States, Joseph R. Biden — Delaware's favorite son!
Mr. “President-Elect,” you and your fellow Democrats proved one thing beyond a shadow of a doubt during the 2020 election cycle. When it comes to cheating, you have the GOP thoroughly outclassed. In fact, in fraud and malfeasance, you blew us totally out of the water. Kudos!
Just think about it: going into the election, you knew that, if the rules remained unchanged, and the votes were counted in the careful, deliberative, mostly legal way that they always have been, you risked losing. But you were having none of that!
Using a horrific pandemic as a pretext, you watered down the requirements for mail-in voting, ignoring state and federal laws and the U.S. Constitution itself, in the full knowledge that, well, your lawyers were better than our lawyers, we Republicans wouldn't dare to impede any American (dead or alive, real or imaginary) from exercising his or her right to vote, and — heck! — if we did have the gall to complain, the press would simply ignore it anyway.
You knew, in short, that you could game the system in your party's favor and get away with it...and so you went for it! Bravo! That's “the American way,” right? Keep your eyes on the prize, and let nothing, and no one, get in your way.
In addition, Mr. “President-Elect,” you notched another notable success: you corrupted the media as no presidential candidate before you ever has. Sure, the major newspapers and broadcast networks have always been biased in favor of Democrats, but previously they concealed their bias beneath a patina of professionalism and objectivity. No more!
You sounded the clarion call to every “journalist” to become, in effect, an unpaid Democratic Party activist, as well as an agent of the “Resistance,” proudly flying the banner of visceral Trump hatred. You challenged “journalists” and social media watchdogs alike not just to ignore stories prejudicial to your campaign, but to suppress them — free speech be damned!
In the process, you denied tens of millions of Americans who might otherwise have been on the fence about supporting you the news they needed to make an informed decision. By simultaneously maneuvering to keep third party candidates off the ballot, you contrived to give voters a simple choice: vote for Joe Biden, the genial, patriotic guy about whom the media says only nice things; or vote for Donald Trump, legendary super-villain, KKK member, and jailer of small children. Brilliant!
And, given that binary choice, by the slimmest possible margin in the battleground states, the voters reluctantly chose you. Hooray!
Sure, the media is now held in almost universal contempt, and Americans will probably never again agree on a common set of facts, but it was a price worth paying, right? Donald Trump got what he had coming!
But your triumphs don't end there, Mr. “President-Elect.” Before choosing to run for the presidency, you supervised an effort to monetize the Biden family name on an unprecedented scale, placing your troubled son Hunter, recently discharged by the Navy because of his drug use, at the helm. When stories about your ever-so-discreet involvement in Hunter's corrupt schemes threatened to derail your candidacy, you rallied your supporters and your confederates in the press to condemn the allegations as “discredited,” “baseless,” and even — this one takes the cake! — as “Russian disinformation.” Well played!
Hunter himself you kept hidden away, although you really needn't have bothered, since none of your pet “journalists” would dream of asking him a question anyway, unless maybe it was about his favorite flavor of ice cream...
As a consequence, you will become “President” despite being compromised by a host of contacts and deals with foreign enterprises and governments. But hey, what the American people don't know can't hurt them, right?
In fact, one could make the case that, as a swamp monster extraordinaire yourself, you'll feel right at home back inside the Beltway, cutting deals and cozying up to the very special interests that brought you to these dizzying heights. The Oval Office, in that sense, should fit you like a glove, Mr. “President”! One might even say, in the words of the greatest philosopher of modern times, Beto O'Rourke, that you were “born to do this,” right? After all, you've got 47 years of experience being a sleazebag. Who's better prepared for the presidency than you?
Lastly, Mr. “President-Elect,” kudos on being elevated to the highest office in the land despite your obvious and accelerating mental infirmities. Who would have thought that a 78-year-old man evincing senility could be electorally competitive in the first place?
You resolutely and wisely refused to answer questions about whether you were medicated or under treatment for your mental defects, and you likewise refused to disclose the results of any test documenting your mental acuity (or lack thereof).
Best of all, though, you showed up and delivered credible performances at key moments in the campaign — your acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention and the two televised debates, for instance. You didn't drool, you didn't soil yourself, and you seemed to remember who you were and what was being discussed. That's what we call a maximum effort, Mr. “President-Elect”! Well done.
The good news is that your perseverance and tenacity were rewarded by the voters, and now you can relax. With the electoral college and Congress in your back pocket, you can coast to January 20th, after which you can turn to jelly for all that the Democratic Party cares. You fulfilled your vital historical mission — the obliteration of Donald J. Trump — and now you can turn over the reins to your fellow swamp creatures. Whether you remain alert, awake, or even alive from this point on is a subject of little import.
So, in conclusion, congratulations to the man who will soon be acclaimed as our 46th President! No presidential candidate — let's be honest — has ever had the deck stacked more decisively in his favor, and you, Sir, managed not to screw it up! Hip hip hooray!
America may or may not be a functioning democracy from this point forward, but whatever it is, or chooses to call itself, you — by golly! — will be nominally in charge of it.
And thus we, your dutiful subjects, nominally salute you.
Godspeed!

ReplyDeleteRussia (when it was The Soviet Union) used to be the favorite country of American Leftists. But that has changed to The People's Republic of China. Russia is out, China is in. You better believe it.
What you need to do is change your image. You can become WaddyIsBolshevik. Present yourself as a true Red (which used to be the color for all Leftists) and change the photograph on your blog to you in a Soviet Political Commissar's uniform.
Instead of that U.S. flag currently in the background, you are going to have to display the old Soviet Flag, and I recommend an armored train (Trotsky style) in the background. Change your first name to Nikolay. Actually, your name needs to be changed to Nikolay Ivanovich Waddsky.
Are you with me on this?
Gee, Nick, I hope you feel better getting that off your chest!
ReplyDeleteThe elections were rigged, but not by the Democrats, who are too stupid to do it. In fact, the Democrats and Republicans are both stooges and dupes of none other than that international master criminal cartel, SPECTRE. That would be the Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. Yes folks, that famous organization in James Bond is real. There really is a SPECTRE, and they now control both of our political parties. Only one man can stop them, and that would be special agent Nicholas Waddy.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy et al from Jack: What disturbs me most just now is the certainty of an all-out onslaught on the fossil fuel industry. The danger of dependence on foreign sources for our energy was proven. That , and perfidious American human responsibility for "global warming"a yet unproven concept itself , have a two word solution: natural gas. We have achieved independence, a seemingly miraculous outcome for those of us who in the'70s hung on every pronunciamento of the medieval oil rich Saudis! But that, together with its practical but heretically imperfect answer to an advantageous quest for clean energy for, yes, the next few centuries, is anathema to the far left now flocking to D.C.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy et al from Jack:Natural gas, of which the U.S. has located and built an industrial and transportation infrastructure to fully exploit it, is to be discredited and suppressed with totalitarian leftist resolve in the next four years. Jobs? The economy? Pish tosh!
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy et al from Jack: Why? First because this happy reality is condemned automatically by the far left because it is a product of capitalist free enterprise. Second, because it allows no room for consummate leftist control guided only by political correctness. The people who now supply our energy have nothing but contempt for these over "educated" pukes! Too bad they'll have to expend so much effort in warding off these presumptuous totalitarians, rather than proceeding with their positive and constructive work!
ReplyDeleteTrue, Ray -- the Left loves the Soviets, and hates the Russians. That's a difficult square to circle, or circle to square, but cognitive dissonance is something they're used to. As for China, I'm not sure the Left does like China all that much. These days no one does. I honestly think both parties beat up on China rhetorically, but in practice do little or nothing about it.
ReplyDeleteRod, I do feel better! Thanks. I would feel better still if my congratulations to Sleepy Joe proved to be premature...
Ray, it would be nice to think that SPECTRE is pulling the strings. That would mean that life, which seems awfully random and pointless at times, is governed by some kind of order. As it is, it looks to me like our country is spiraling (unconsciously) towards exhaustion and self-destruction. I WISH one of our parties had a cunning plan for world domination, but I don't view either one as nearly that competent.
Jack, assuming Biden ascends the throne, it will be interesting to see what becomes of our energy policy. The Dems talk as though they want a total transformation of the sector, but in the past the results they've achieved have been distinctly underwhelming. Obama accomplished nothing of real significance in "decarbonization" terms. I doubt if Biden would be more ambitious than Obama. Much also depends on what can be done absent legislation, because I'm pretty sure Congress has no appetite for a carbon tax or a war on fossil fuels.
Dr.Waddy et al from Jack: You are right but the regulatory agencies will be firmly in the hands of the far left. The appointment of the Attorney General of Lala land to the cabinet underlines this onerous certainty. It strongly suggests maximum effort at hand to make production of fossil fuels and advocacy of the same,together with expression of doubt about leftist "global warming" doctrine, first a tort,justifying massive ruinous lawsuits, then a crime.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy et al from Jack: This issue is now the essence of the American left's latest power grab. After complete failure in history, economics and politics to gain totalitarian control, this is their vehicle now! Yes, they may find their extralegislative tactics insolently thwarted by the atavistically lawful Scotus, but they will persist and do very much damage in so doing, as was done to the tobacco industry. If you have a job in coal, oil or natural gas, fasten your seatbelts for the kind of oppression we will all face,in every aspect of our lives, if the far left takes over.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Jack: what the Left can't achieve through legislation, they may well achieve through manipulation, propaganda, and legal pressure. It might become impossible to finance fossil fuel development long before it becomes illegal to pursue it.
ReplyDeleteOf course, an assault on fossil fuels will do severe harm to the economy, but most leftist schemes have that effect, don't they? One wonders whether the Left has become indifferent to the problem of economic downturns, since they believe that government money can solve any problem...and that the more we are in a crisis situation, the more people will demand that government step in...
