What a wonderful country – even my dog ​​can become president

While enjoying a coffee in a Parisian café, I overheard two university students bemoaning their fate. “I moved to the United States,” said one student. “There, you can do whatever you want.” This young Frenchman obviously felt hampered by the implicit caste system of his native country. People living in Europe face insurmountable obstacles if they want to move up in the world.

I am very grateful to live in America, a country whose middle name is mobility. Social mobility is defined as the ability to change an individual's social status. This is in stark contrast to our European heritage, where our ancestors were stuck in their birth condition.

If you are poor in America, you can become rich. If you have no education, you have access to learning. If you are not successful in your profession, you can take steps to overcome the obstacles to success. This is a first in human history. We won the lottery simply by living here.

Recent events in the Democratic Party have driven home this awareness. For example, look at Joe Biden, a man whose limited intellectual abilities are compounded by his cognitive impairments. Did that prevent him from becoming president of the most powerful country in the world? Not entirely.

In the present scheme of things, we have an even better example. A vicious, conniving, immoral, unpopular and third-rate politician with extreme radical views has come within a hair's breadth of the presidency. Kamala Harris could be sitting in the Oval Office as soon as next week.

Harris began her career in local San Francisco politics by capitalizing on her affair with the married mayor, Willie Brown. After amassing a terrible record as a prosecutor, he entered the United States Senate. Her only claim to fame as a senator was her contemptuous treatment of Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court. Based on the notoriety of that fiasco, he campaigned for the presidency. Democratic Party voters, recognizing that she is nothing more than a lying and unprincipled opportunist, relegated Harris to the bottom of the pile and ended her presidential aspirations, but not for long. In a magician's hat-trick of sorts, Harris managed to land on the ballot as Biden's choice for VP.

Kamala has achieved nothing of value during her tenure as vice president. Biden made her the “border czar”, which led to a total failure. (Unless his real job was to keep the border wide open.) Harris has endorsed the Green New Deal, income redistribution, open borders, defunding and disbanding the police, repealing the First and the Second Amendment and, ultimately, socialism. During the 2020 riots, Harris did nothing to uphold the rule of law. On the contrary, he raised money to defend the mutineers. “He's further to the left than 97 percent of Democrats,” said Mark Levin, “the most extreme radical politician ever to run for high office in the United States of America.”

“Kamala Harris can't do much other than laugh inappropriately,” Patricia McCarthy wrote in American thinker. “She wouldn't or couldn't be elected as a dog catcher in any small town. She has no business being anywhere near a federal government job, let alone vice president or, God help us, president.” The highlight of her tenure as vice president has been a series of Yogi Berra-like nonsensical statements coupled with her giggle that have made her a public fool.

But none of that matters. This is such a wonderful country that Harris can be Biden's replacement as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate in the next election. In fact, if Biden decides to resign altogether, he could be sitting in the Oval Office next week. All this without being elected.

This gives me great hope. If a useless phony like Harris can become president, anyone, even my dog, can rise to the highest office in the land. My border collie, Flash, however, is much smarter than Kamala. Flash knows he's not qualified to be president. This is really a shame. Voters would love him. Flash has a winning personality, good looks, and can run like a son of a bitch. Unlike Kamala, Flash never says stupid things.

The irony is that Donald Trump proved for four years that he is the greatest president of my lifetime. All of Trump's actions were for the benefit of the nation. “I don't care if you like Trump or not,” Bill O'Reilly said. “Trump governed this nation in a responsible way where everyone prospered. And if you don't believe that, you're a moron!”

This Trump Derangement Syndrome business baffles me. But maybe I shouldn't be surprised. We live in a country where any chest can be elected president before someone eminently qualified. As I said, we enjoy mobility; even the least qualified among us can run the country.

Not this time…PLEASE!
