President Biden Can Talk Like a Socialist Precisely Because He Can’t Govern Like One
“The U.S. will turn things around. We always do the right thing in the end. We’re not nearly as fragile as the ‘patriots’ on both sides believe. The croakers have never been right about the U.S., and the view here is that they’re not about to be.” ~ John Tamny
