Trump’s First 100 Days
https://nathanruffing.com/president-trumps-first-100-days/
I tried to follow Trump’s first 100 days. I made an effort but alas I let it slide. Now when I read again what he actually said, I am reminded of how much the media distorts what he actually wrote.
My Post on Trump’s First 100 Days
I notice at the end of my post I said the same things four years ago that I’m saying now: turn off the TV and be local. Four years later I believe I can truly say I know a few people who have completely eliminated TV from their lives. That’s some success.
Biden’s First 100 Days
(Build Back Better? Tripling down on the slogans with not-so-hidden negative implication I guess: MAGA, BLM, … now BBB)
To Biden’s pledges. I guess two things stand out.
First, masking. I will continue to use masking as an indicator of mental illness and an indicator of people and places to avoid. Biden has declared himself the leader of the mentally ill.
Second, what little I saw from the media about Biden’s first 100 days looked like open provocation. I have to admit, this contrasts with what Biden has actually written, less dramatic, so once again the media is distorting and provoking.
Media quoting Biden: “I’m coming for you! Retaliation!”
Biden himself: “Washington DC plans to return to the usual half-truth thievery at the pace Americans are used to (plus masking attempt round two since a surprising majority of Americans seem to not value showing their faces).”
Solution to Immigration, Not a Wall
Marco Rubio nails it in 56 seconds, starting at 0:43 in the video:

- Prevent visa overstays.
- Reform immigration process to more merit-based less family-based.
- Process the current illegal immigrants with the normal process.
Solution to COVID, Not Masks
This paper remains the best of 2020 on COVID:

Focus on fresh air and ventilation.
Solution to Washington DC
Defund DC. Repeal the 16th Amendment to the Constitution.
30 April 2021
I’ll give myself a little more realistic task this time around since I failed to follow the details on Trump. It will be interesting to see how long Biden lasts.
Will Biden still be president on 30 April 2021? (100 days)
Probably.
Will Biden go the whole four years?
Probably not.
