I can't help it - dictionaries make me laugh.

I keep one in the bathroom.

Don't tell anyone.

Locally "hawking a goober" used to mean a flying spit with a certain amount of spin and good distance.

Oh...I get the spin part though. Now that I think about it.

We all know politicians use spin for political advantage but Biden promised to be straight with people about the virus. So it was cruelly deceptive for him to grandly promise 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days when, in fact, that would mean slowing down the pace set by Trump. America was heading for more than a million vaccinations a day the week before Biden was sworn in as President.

JUST last week, Biden announced the purchase of an extra 200 million vaccinations. But those were already on the way as part of the contracts negotiated by Trump.

Similarly, the new administration let it be known that the President was planning to invoke a wartime measure – the Defense Production Act – to force companies to increase vaccine supply.

But again, Trump had already done that and industry sources told the New York Times that there was no scope to go any further.

There is a clear pattern that’s already emerging: a massive gulf between President Biden’s words and his actions.

Before the election, he pledged he would work within the constraints of America’s constitutional ‘checks and balances’, respecting the fact that Congress, not the President, is supposed to make laws.

In October, he told ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos that ‘I have this strange notion we are a democracy… there are things you can’t do by executive order unless you’re a dictator. We need consensus’.

Whatever happened to that? In his first two days in office, Biden issued 17 executive orders, compared to Trump’s one and Obama’s two in the same timeframe.

Biden’s tally is now higher than any President in history at this point in their tenure. Moreover, his orders represent dramatic moves to the Left in major and controversial policy areas such as immigration, the environment and crime.

The whole point of America’s checks and balances is to prevent the government from getting too big, too powerful and too centralised. Yet Biden and his Democrat allies in Congress are acting as if they’ve won a landslide majority in a parliamentary system where they have unchecked power.

That’s not only a hypocritical reversal of a central campaign pledge – to restore the ‘democratic norms’ that they endlessly accused Trump of undermining. It risks further inflaming tensions in a nation that is already dangerously divided. For the truth is that Biden did not win a landslide majority – not even close. Trump actually got more votes than any President running for re-election in American history.

Of course, Biden won more. But in the key battleground states where the election was decided, his margin of victory was just over 40,000 votes – in a country of more than 330 million people. It’s no use Democrats pointing to the fact that Biden won millions more overall. That’s because the largest and most populous states such as California and New York are heavily Democratic, so many Republicans there don’t even bother to vote.

If the presidential election were truly based on popular opinion, Trump’s total would have been much higher: there are many more Republicans in California than there are Democrats in a state such as (solidly Republican) Wyoming.

Biden’s election campaign did not give him any kind of mandate for sweeping policy change. For most of last year, he was barely in public view. Before the pandemic restricted events, he could attend in person, his stumbling performances suggested rapidly advancing senility. Halting media appearances from the TV studio rigged up in the basement of his Delaware home were not reassuring.

To the extent that Biden had any kind of message, it was simply: ‘I’m not Trump and I’ll bring the country together again.’

Yet now that he’s in the White House, Biden seems to be doing the opposite. It’s true that his energy level seems consistent with the pre-election version – his aides wheel him out for a few minutes a day to sign executive orders for the cameras and mumble some remarks before he can put his foot in it.

But the substance is completely different from what was promised – not just in Biden’s election campaign but even in his inaugural address with its theme of national unity.

Instead of taking steps to unify the country, Biden pushed forward with hugely divisive wokery from the very first day, forcing schools to allow biological males to compete in girls’ sports, for example......Much more in the link
