Biden's Basement Strategy: Just Say Nothing
Patrick Buchanan

Some polls now have Joe Biden running ahead of Donald Trump by 10 points and sweeping the battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. This vindicates the strategy Biden's advisers have adopted:

Confine Joe to his basement, no press conferences. Trot him out to recite carefully scripted messages for the cameras. Then lead him back to his stall.

This enables Biden to avoid the blazing questions that are dividing not only Democrats and Republicans but liberals and leftists. And most of these issues touch on the explosive subject of race.

Mandatory National Service Would Create a More Equal Society, Former NSA Rice Says

A reported possible Joe Biden vice presidential pick this week reiterated her support for a program that would require all Americans to dedicate time in service to their country, at least in a civilian capacity.

<snip>

The commission, which released its final report March 25 following years of research and hearings, recommended, among other things, that women for the first time in U.S. history be required to register with the Selective Service System for a possible draft, and that civilian national service opportunities be expanded.

The draft, as it currently stands American men have to register, even though they are not currently called up since the Vietnam defeat, thi was at the root of the defeat of the equal rights amendment in the 1970s.

Almost all men age 18-25 who are U.S. citizens or are immigrants living in the U.S. are required to be registered with Selective Service. U.S. law calls for citizens to register within 30 days of turning 18 and immigrants to register within 30 days of arriving in the U.S.

Phyllis Schlafly was an astute feminist, who kept female privileges in place which the ERA would have destroyed. For context at the time many young men found the draft objectionable, yet how many are raising objections to women being potentially forced to serve the state today? Personally I find militarism and the draft objectionable and such legislation must be done away with.


Women should be careful what they ask for as the US military has opened up all combat roles to women and has been seeking to get them registered for draft for many years now. You think they can't find a war for you when they have a huge pool of recruits, think again. One of the problems the US military has is recruiting medical personnel, they pissed so many doctors off during the wars in Iraq by forcing them to serve multiple tours of duty that the doctors quit because their practices at home suffered. Women now outnumber men in doctor schools a fact that has not escaped the military.


Why is that relevant to Biden, well the DNC may pick Susan Rice since they are known to be looking for a female candidate and Rice brings a seasoned campaigner like Obama on board.

Stop talking about the draft. You have no understanding of what went on. The draft is over.

It is not, American men still have to register. How many wars is the US military involved in? a lot. They do not have the necessary manpower to conduct a large campaign like they did with the gulf wars due to skill shortages and are bogged down fighting in asymmetric warfare conflicts. The military needs a bigger pool of recruits, this is why they need women available to make up the skills deficits they created and this is why since the gulf wars they have been pushing to force women to register. Today they don't call men for the draft, the legislation is there and can be activated in future.

Schafly was a feminist but paradoxically labelled anti-feminist, her emphasis was preserving female privilege. Today most women do not identify as feminists , which does allow for divergence of opinion.

If the US military succeeds in making it mandatory for women to register then at some point in the future the draft gets activated women get the opportunity to be equally maimed and killed. Will that be acceptable in future? Why would it be acceptable now? They are silently slipping in the draft for women and masking in under the guise of equality. People need to ask themselves is that the equality they want.


Have a good laugh safe in the knowledge you won't be affected by such legislation, your daughters might not have such a choice.

The question still floating around is what is Hillary Clinton up to? She has an alliance with Mitt Romney to pull votes from "Republicans". Even Kunstler has noted haw Biden has gone to ground.

The idea of Biden being a placeholder has been floating around for a while, I guess we will have to wait until the DNC convention in August to quell those rumours.

Biden is leading by a large margin, there's absolutely zero reason why the dems would want to switch him out for Clinton. It's just conspiratorial nonsense.

Kind of stupid too, if you are going to invest time and effort in a lie to undermine a campaign, get one that runs through to election night.

However, I suspect Clinton is the actual place holder in this nonsense.

My guess is they are hoping the vice pick is can be portrayed as some sort of despicable minority woman candidate and then Biden is a place holder for her.

I know it hard to remember what a real leader is but in general their job is to facilitate everyone below them to reach their maximum potential, not to actually enforce their will on others

The draft is over. Done. It won't happen. Exactly what kind of war would you think would need sufficient human forces to prosecute in the future?

Phyllis Schlafly would be turning over in her grave at being labeled a feminist. About as far as from modern feminism (or even contemporary feminism from her era) as you can get. You really don't get it, she was not a feminist, she was anti-abortion and 'women's privilege' is some nonsensical misogynistic twaddle you're peddling. She was all about having babies and staying at home while hubby brought home the bacon, sadly, that era is over.

You can't make it to the office of the president without being competent. Hate to break it to you. Especially with no prior experience, at the age of 70.

Well obviously you can.

Trump didn't get there because he was competent, he got there because the Rep party organised a very competent team to run a very competent campaign.

Trump is an idiot, he will always be an idiot, he will be forever known as the worse president in the history of the USA.

TDS at full throttle.

The only ones who seem to be deranged I'm around the Trump zealots, No matter how much of a bad job he does they just cannot bring themselves to admit that he has caused massive damage to the US on a worldwide scale. Whoever takes over from him has an uphill battle to repair the damage Trump has done, this will take decades.

In what way is Trump competent?

You can answer this in one of two ways.
Either in what he has done in his career before being President, or what he has done as President.

And to save me responding to you with examples, let me include them here.

He has had 13 failed business ventures
Trump’s failed businesses:

1. Trump Steaks
2. GoTrump
3. Trump Airlines
4. Trump Vodka
5. Trump Mortgage
6. Trump: The Game
7. Trump Magazine
8. Trump University
9. Trump Ice
10. The New Jersey Generals
11. Tour de Trump
12. Trump Network
13. Trumped!

And has sought bankruptcy protection 6 times.
1. Trump Taj Mahal
2. Trump’s Castle
3. Trump Plaza Casinos
4. Trump Plaza Hotel
5. Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts
6. Trump Entertainment Resorts

Not to mention the fact that he wanted to hide his tax returns and whatever truths are hidden by that fact. And that's before we talk about more people dying in a pandemic than in American wars since WW2, the largest unemployment figures since the great depression and his regressive acts towards environment protection.

So, he might be a lot of things, competent ain't one of them.

Ah now, let's not go that far.

Trump's a twat, no doubt. But compared to Bush Jr his damage so far has been miniscule.
