Commentary: Biden Weaponizes the Federal Government for His Own Reelection Campaign

President Joe Biden has taken every part of the federal government and transformed it into his personal reelection machine, creating a hyper-partisan election apparatus out of supposedly neutral federal agencies. And American taxpayers pay for all of it.

Just since the beginning of April, several explosive revelations have surfaced that show the extent to which Joe Biden has weaponized the federal government in election matters. This should come as no surprise, as the administration continues to unfairly weaponize the federal courts against January 6 defendants, and state and federal courts maliciously prosecute Donald Trump, his rival in the presidential election.

The plan is as brazen as it is comprehensive, proving the Biden administration doesn’t want a fair election in 2024.

Lawmakers Decry U.S. Military’s Drift to DEI Culture

The U.S. military’s ongoing embrace of the far-left culture war has drawn increased attention and ire from lawmakers.

Despite Pentagon officials waving off concerns, a steady stream of evidence has shown that the most progressive ideas on race, gender and sexuality have become the norm, in particular within the administrative parts of the U.S. military.

“The Biden Administration has made implementing woke Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives a more important mission than protecting Americans,” U.S. Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., told The Center Square. “Our military is strongest when it is focused on training patriotic men and women to become the most lethal fighting force in the world.”

Left To Their Own Devices

This rich and sometimes compelling book touches on multiple newsworthy themes, but its central thesis will come as no surprise to anyone who closely follows U.S. politics. Joe Biden "ran for president as a staunch moderate," but since taking office he has "applied his pragmatic moderate branding on a far more left-wing set of policy prescriptions than the Democratic Party had ever offered."

That’s not simply the authors’ conclusion; it’s enthusiastically vouched for by some of the most far-left members of Congress. Minnesota representative Ilhan Omar told them that Biden is "proud of the image that he crafted as a centrist and moderate," but in actuality he "is now repeating the policy positions of Bernie Sanders."
