Biden irritates regular people with yet another attempt to raise funds for his election campaign

Will citizens of Westchester County be remembered in the history of the 2024 presidential campaign like Churchill’s RAF pilots? Will they receive the same praise: “Never was so much owed by so many to so few”?

However, comparing the victims of Biden’s fundraising schemes to WWII heroes may be unwise.

President Biden and his large entourage caused a lockdown in much of Westchester County on Thursday for a fundraiser reception at Michael Douglas’ mansion in Irvington.

General admission tickets started at $3,300, and the event likely raised over $10 million for Biden’s re-election campaign.

Schools in the area closed early, and all after-school activities were canceled for kids, even though the reception didn’t start until 6:15 p.m.

Police advised people to avoid traveling early in the afternoon in anticipation of Biden’s visit.

A security corridor was set up hours before the president arrived, extending far beyond the area he visited.

Was the lockdown to prevent any heckling towards Biden?

Should people feel honored when their schedules are disrupted by the president, similar to medieval peasants thanking the king’s courtiers for trampling their crops?

Is Biden entitled to make Americans pay any price to maintain his power?

Will Thursday’s disruption be remembered in Westchester akin to the Bridgegate scandal that tarnished former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie?

The campaign charged $30,000 for a photo with Biden, but Trump supporters may pay a million dollars for a photo of Biden near one of the “air illegal” planes bringing immigrants to Westchester County Airport.

Westchester became a hub for late-night immigrant flights due to Biden’s administration’s plan to secretly airlift over 300,000 immigrants annually into the US.

Before the reception, Biden boasted about providing $6 billion in federal funding for a private semiconductor factory in Syracuse.

He made deceptive economic claims despite the recent data on slowing growth and rising inflation.

Biden offered various handouts, including funding for electric buses claimed to reduce traffic congestion.

Biden seems to treat federal student debt as a campaign slush fund, promising debt forgiveness that may burden taxpayers.

His unchecked spending may lead the nation into bankruptcy, despite his claims of reducing the national debt, despite the $7+ trillion increase during his term.

Is Biden entitled to disrupt lives and squander future generations’ wealth with his deficit spending?

While Trump faces legal challenges, Biden continues to raise large campaign contributions.

Is silencing Trump the biggest illicit campaign contribution for Team Biden?

On his way to court, Trump received support from construction workers, who chanted “USA! USA!” and cheered him heartily.

It’s unlikely that Westchester residents disrupted by Biden’s visit shared the same enthusiasm.
