Many of us have heard a term that probably needs to be defined before we continue. Today’s word is “banshee.”
A banshee, according to Irish folklore, is a woman who grieves the death of a family member through loud wails, screams, and shrieking. These eerie noises, according to lore, emanate from forests of Ireland from whence banshees inhabit.
In the likely event you have seen death reporting, or mayhem on television, you probably have seen an American version of banshees during interviews of the mothers of carjackers, dope dealers, or other hoodie-wearing miscreants who succumbed to a timely meeting with St. Peter during their failed respective crime.
Howling to denote a loss of life that now affects the family of the criminal as much as that of the victim, society is fully expected to feel the pain of the bad guy every bit as much as the quickly-forgotten victim. But is the directional pain and suffering from a manufactured situation really well placed?
In November 2024, former president Donald J. Trump was handily elected to serve as President once again. With a respite of four-years filled by Joseph Robinette Biden, Trump spent much of his time fielding lawsuits begun under his stewardship from 2016 through 2024.
Most of those lawsuits were antagonistic in nature, and none were likely based on merit to do little more than hamstring and financially break President Trump, number 45 on the President’s List.
Beginning a new era in 2025, being sworn-in on January 20th, Trump will probably end up with a wrist brace to soothe his carpal tunnel syndrome from signing one Executive Order (EO) after another to unravel the Gordian Knot of laws established by Biden, his predecessor.
It seems as though Biden, on his first day in office in 2021, he gleefully signed one EO after another until he ran out of ink. Using these EOs as payback to environmentalists and other pink slip holders, Biden essentially began a trip that surprised only a few people who did not really know him.
Growing deep, deep roots in the Senate Office Building while spending nearly a half-century there reaching into the pockets of Beltway Bandits and constituents, alike, Uncle Joe stayed busy lining his own pockets with “lobbying monies” and “tips” until his wallet was filled. And life was good.
But this time, Biden was firmly buckled into the driver’s seat that quickly veered to the Left and never stopped. Speeding taxpayer cash ever faster day-by-day, the U.S. Bus to Perdition was, as the name implies, heading nowhere good.

Outlawing oil drilling, natural gas ranges, gasoline-fed yard equipment, as well as protesting, Biden happily pointed The Bus toward paperwork. That paperwork was in the form The Constitution – the law of the land that has been the bible of tenets for an entire nation, the United States of America, since 1776.
Biden, on the other hand, felt it was necessary to contort any and all mention of criticism targeted toward Biden and his minions. Suddenly, that pesky First Amendment – the one related to many freedoms – was under attack from Biden’s sty of sleazy attorneys and aides.
To set the record straight, here is what the First Amendment says:
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents Congress from making laws respecting an establishment of religion; prohibiting the free exercise of religion; or abridging the freedom of speech, of the press, the freedom of assembly, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
It’s not as complex as the guvment’s lawyers would have you believe. In other words, you can be as vocal and annoying to whomever you want. Except under The Biden Administration, that is.
Prohibiting anyone from talking about the COVID-19 virus or its vaccines, Biden lackeys almost instantaneously quieted opposing views, thoughts, ideas, treatments, prophylaxis, or comments, under the threat of arrest or dismissal from a job. Amen.
To help with Democrat voting, Biden opened the Southern Border to any and all who made it across the areas where the Biden Administration stopped the construction of the barrier to keep lawbreakers away. With literally millions – an estimated 15,000,000 unknown aliens illegally crossed – were now in a position to receive gifts o’ plenty from Biden and his organized crime network.
Included in the gift bags were cell phones, maps, vouchers for sustenance and housing, debit cards, food coupons, and instructions on how to avoid and ignore interference from Customs and Immigration officials. What a great country! But I digress.
Being summarily removed – electronically – from social media platforms, Trump was unable to state his thoughts to help stem the tide of a world-wide virus. Aided by a complicit media, Trump and all his supporters were hushed by virtually erasing The First Amendment throughout Biden’s smarmy term.
Lying about anything and everything, Biden, along with his press secretary – whose personality could be likened to an aluminum folding chair – kept Americans in the dark to better conduct their shady dealings in plain view.
Regularly banging the dais with his fist, Biden insisted the “rich need to pay their fair share” in taxes in order to keep his wild spending spree going. Unfortunately, it would take a payment of $100,000+ from each man, woman, and child in America to cover the debt incurred under Biden’s term.
It’s rather unfortunate that Biden’s son, Hunter, was discovered to have failed to pay his fair share in back taxes. Oops. Too bad the media missed that story and subsequent trial which found Hunter GUILTY. Double oops.
With The Bus gaining speed, Biden was lured into a proxy war with Russia through a deal with a Ukrainian comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s president. Since Russia’s incursion into Ukraine in 2022, Biden has sent over $200,000,000,000 in cash and arms and munitions to Zelenskyy.
Of course no one was allowed to mention this attempt to drag us – with our fingernails tearing the dirt from beneath peace-loving Americans – lest they be chastised and removed from social media, too – into another endless foreign war. But it was too late. It seems as though nothing with which Biden disagrees is off-limits. Hope you didn’t forget the Afghanistan war which Biden fumbled badly. Badly.
Following rubbing the noses of hard-working, blue-collar individuals in the dregs of Biden’s elitist cultural and foreign wars, he discovered he could garner more votes from college students by paying their tuition costs. Of course, Biden wasn’t paying anything. Taxpayers were.
As an aside, growing up in a blue-collar family in a factory town, with a working father, we had little in the way of disposable cash.
For readers baffled by the word “father,” that is a male figure that provides half the formula for creating a child. Combined with a “mother,” who is the female other half, they were traditionally married before the conception of offspring. But then, things change.
(As an aside, my father informed me I was destined for factory work because we didn’t have enough money for me to attend college. As such, I worked for cash to pay my own way through college, and now absolutely refuse to pay for the higher education of someone else. Period.)
And so it went for four Biden years, shredding The Constitution, buying resources from foreign adversaries, incarcerating Americans who merely protested, all the while ‘gimmes’ signaling their displeasure that Biden wasn’t doling out enough to steer this runaway bus over the cliff to end the misery.
Driving the economy into parallax territory, Biden, along with a compliant Congress, Senate, and media all conspired to hide this subversion of a just and free country. Ardently attempting to financially break the back of our nation’s economy, all the while lying about its impact on our citizens, this cabal seemed intent on trading our sovereign nation to a foreign entity out of spite.
We’re now entering a new era – again – under Donald Trump, and can only hope for rectification of the tragic, failed policies hidden under a smokescreen of lies, lies, and more lies.
A feeling of fresh air appears to be silencing the banshees’ screams and hollering, largely due to the deaths of their loved ones having only been contrived. Those perceived losses were merely a grift to extract more and more freebies off the backs and out of the wallets of today’s and tomorrow’s generations.
President Donald J. Trump, Numbers 45 and 47, promises to rectify the wild ride of the Biden Bus. It’s time to off-load the passengers, the navigators, along with the driver, and hand the wheel to someone who wants to take us all back to sanity, safety, and prosperity.
God bless President Donald Trump.
