WHOSE IN CHARGE JOE!?

Commentary by Peter Ripley


The presidential candidate Joe Bidden as you are all aware suffers from dementia, and the Democrats knows it, yet they use Bidden as a puppet to promote the radical left wing democrats agenda, which in essence is turning this nation into a communism style of governance. They made Bidden choose one of these radical leftist, Sen. Kamala Harris (D).

As you probably heard by now, that Harris let slip the leftist plan, by calling the campaign the Harris Biden campaign during a round table in Arizona, on Monday. 

According to reports from Fox News: Kamala Harris accidentally touts plans under a 'Harris administration' during virtual round table.


So I have to ask, whose in charge Joe?

Yet, this gets better, Biden referred to his campaign as the Harris Biden administration if he wins according to a report from the Western Journal: Biden Refers to a 'Harris-Biden' Administration Just a Day After Harris Made Similar Comment.


Some are saying that Harris remarks weren't a mistake it was a signal to democrats, this is how they will run the country if elected!

According to Monday's Rush Limbaugh show he offered his views on Harris slip up: As Plugs Hides from COVID, Kamala Preps for “Harris Administration”.

Quote:" RUSH: All right. Now, the theory is that this was not a faux pas, that it was written, that it was purposely put on her prompter. And the reason that it was is so that she could acknowledge to all Democrat voters that, hey, we know Biden ain’t up for this, don’t sweat it, I’m gonna be in charge. We know that Biden is a placeholder.


The fact that it was written on the prompter and the fact that it was stated by Kamala Harris and not a mistake and not her ego out of control — bottom line is that they are actually sending the signal to Democrat voters not to sweat Biden’s mental acuity, that everybody knows what’s going on. And this very subtle reference to the Harris administration is designed to calm Democrat voters who are worried about the potential disaster that’s waiting every day to display and be on parade with Biden’s deteriorating mental ability."


Editorial note: I agree with Limbuagh's take on this!

Bidden if he wins will be replaced by Harrison, by default, very shortly in the Biden administration because he would have to resign! Is that way to gain the White House, Harris coming in the back door!?


HERE IS TODAY'S TOP NEWS STORY...


Cantwell, Risch Ask President Trump to Request Assistance from International Firefighters.

Press release dated 9/17/20

https://www.cantwell.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cantwell-risch-ask-president-trump-to-request-assistance-from-international-firefighters


WASHINGTON, D.C. – – Today, U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA), a senior member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, and James E. Risch (R-ID), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, sent a letter to President Trump asking him to request urgently needed assistance from foreign fire agencies to help combat historic wildfires raging throughout the Western United States.


The 2020 wildfire season has been one of the worst in more than two decades. According to the most recent Incident Management Situation Report from the National Interagency Coordination Center in Boise, Idaho, this year's wildfires have already burned 5,864,950 acres. The fires have killed dozens of Americans, destroyed thousands of structures, and displaced thousands. Currently as many as 87 fires are still burning across 11 states, shrouding much of the western United States in toxic levels of smoke. 


Firefighting experts are expressing alarm about overworked domestic fire crews and a potential decrease in the number of firefighters that will be available on the front lines in the coming months. According to a memo issued earlier this week by the National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group, a council of government officials and incident commanders that helps allocate fire-fighting resources, “it is likely that resource availability will continue to be severely limited nationally through the month of September and well into the fall.”


“With wildfires burning hotter, faster, and more frequently than ever before, our overworked frontline firefighting teams need backup from our allies that have the experience and grit to help tackle these historic blazes. Firefighting crews from Australia, Canada, and Israel have already provided a big boost to efforts across the West, but more personnel are desperately needed,” the senators wrote.


According to data collected by Europe’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), this year’s fire season has been "tens to hundreds of times more intense" than the average fire seasons from 2003 to 2019. 


Text of letter sent:

Dear President Trump:


Supercharged wildfires are causing untold suffering throughout the West. This year’s fires have already burned over five million acres of beloved landscape, destroyed whole communities, killed dozens of Americans, and displaced thousands of our constituents. Millions are struggling to breathe the smoky air that is smothering our population centers with the world’s worst air quality that permeates seemingly every structure and vehicle. And this fire season is nowhere near over.


The COVID-19 pandemic has made this year’s challenging situation much harder. Not only do health concerns make it more difficult to provide shelter for evacuees, it has drastically reduced the number of firefighters available to combat these infernos. Even prison work crews who normally pitch in to tackle annual wildfires have been sidelined by efforts to curb the spread of the disease.


We write to ask you to use your authority under the Wildfire Suppression Assistance Act (P.L. 100-428) to request urgently needed assistance from foreign fire agencies. With wildfires burning hotter, faster, and more frequently than ever before, our overworked frontline firefighting teams need backup from our allies that have the experience and grit to help tackle these historic blazes. Firefighting crews from Australia, Canada, and Israel have already provided a big boost to efforts across the West, but more personnel are desperately needed.


Thank you for your attention and timely response to these urgent matters.
