THE VENTRILOQUISTS AND THEIR DUMMY / JOE BIDEN: BEST DUMMY SINCE CHARLIE McCARTHY

Vol. I | Issue. 9 | July 8, 2021

Edgar Bergen, famed ventriloquist of stage, screen, film, and the early years of television was the creator of Charlie McCarthy. Charlie was the wooden dummy to whom he gave life through his brilliance as a ventriloquist and pitch-perfect comedic timing. Edger Bergen’s death in 1973 ended Charlie McCarthy’s career. Charlie has ever since been enshrined in The Smithsonian.

Bergen was not only technically excellent in his manipulation and control of the dummy but brilliant in his creation of Charlie’s personality and persona which seemed human.

Charlie McCarthy, the dummy, was witty, brash, funny, and often risqué as judged by the standard of the times. Bergan, as his foil, was always the straight man and patsy for Charlie's barbs.

While watching Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy, the audience, in their mind’s eye, could easily have concluded until Ed Sullivan or some other host yanked them off the stage that Charlie was the brains behind the operation. But they were wrong…

Edgar Bergen created Charlie McCarthy, wrote every line he seemed to utter, and controlled his timing, personality, and persona. That is what a ventriloquist does with their dummy.  

We now have a dummy living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Unlike Charlie McCarthy, who did such a wonderful job at making America laugh, this dummy will make any thinking American cry.

Joe Biden, elected to the US Senate in 1972, has been a politico for over 50 years if you include his tenure in Delaware politics. This vast timespan of feeding at the public trough was essentially without accomplishment unless you consider his being on the wrong side of history for 40 years as noted by Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense under both George W. Bush and Barack Obama. 

But Biden's hyper durable mediocrity is not what should sound the alarm bells. The chilling reality of the Biden presidency is that he is devoid of the physical, intellectual, and leadership capability to be President of the United States. As a political animal of enduring nothingness, he was willing to do anything to get the job. While opportunism is the guiding light of almost every politician, Biden offered himself up as an empty vessel to the radical left as their dutiful instrument to perform the transformation of America into a weakened power on the world stage, perennially engulfed in domestic turmoil.

Their goal? Creating a sharecropper status of America in its relationship with China. This game plan creates a weakling foreign policy combined with a ruinous domestic agenda which will ultimately bring America to its knees if carried out successfully.

Who are his Master's voices pulling the strings to fill the void of this empty vessel?

The ventriloquists of course. Those most easily identified as major radical agenda-setters are Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, AOC, and Bernie Sanders, who along with their minions, including those organizations whose focus is to transform America into a socialist, dystopian nightmare.

Our President either through ignorance, indifference, or diktat by way of his ventriloquists squanders most of his Foreign policy initiative on the pretext that Russia is our most serious existential threat. It's China Mr.President! Donald Trump is out of office, there is no more need to pretend!

For a brief moment in time during the 2020 campaign, I was actually impressed with Joe Biden's toughness (not really). When I first heard the story about his forceful handling of a local swimming pool hooligan named "Cornpop" with a chain, I thought maybe this guy can deal with Iran, China, and other international miscreants… I guess I was wrong.

Just last week, the dummy, as directed by the ventriloquists, announced his intention to withdraw sanctions against Iran because he didn't want "the Iranian people to suffer”. This is another failed leftist strategy, giving up the hard power of sanctions, for the soft power of empty rhetoric. This of course is a repeat of Biden's recent refunding of the terrorist PLO, effectuated with the same objective and defective reasoning that is: If you appease terrorists, they will go away. This does not even take into account the Left’s passion and affinity for the “Hate America” crowd, whom the PLO and Iran are card-carrying members.

What do you think Winston Churchill would have said about that approach?

It is important that the next time you see Joe speak, eat an ice cream cone, or pose for a photo, you realize that it isn't really him; It's someone else pulling the strings. As we have learned, they are his ventriloquists and he is their dummy.

What can you do as a citizen in your work to restore and protect The American Way? Make it a priority every day to monitor what those issues are that matter to you at the local, state, and national levels…Then take action!

Write a letter, pick up the phone, cast your vote. Do whatever it takes to make your voice heard.

As for Joe being a dummy… Say it ain't so Joe, but you will probably need permission.
