Welcome readers! I took a break from the “Letters to Joe” to rant about the protests around the country. Here is the latest edition of “Letters to Joe.” I hope you enjoy it! Please don’t forget to “like” and “share.” Thanks!
Dear Joe,
I want to start off by saying, I’m really disappointed in you. This time, it’s not because of inflation, or the border, or foreign affairs, or riding a bike, or climbing stairs, or anything else you suck at. It’s about your response to the morons protesting on our college campuses.
Look, you can’t just come out and say, “Don’t. Hate speech bad.” The words of a president matter. Instead of playing both sides of the “free speech” fence, you could have, wait, should have, explained, in detail, that the words these protesters are using are not only hateful, but they are actually calling for violence against the Jewish people.[1] Not a joke.
Define for them the meaning of, “intifada,” “From the river to the sea….,” and explain who Hamas is, and the atrocities of their terrorism. But no, you went out and lumped all of the “don’t hate” groups together. Also, please explain, to these college kids, what “peaceable” means.[2] Those are not just hateful haikus, Joe, they’re calls to violence. Literally.
Telling the protesters “don’t,” works about as well as telling Iran, or Russia, “don’t.” These petty protesters are wreaking havoc in the red and the blue states, Joe. Simply saying there is no place for hate speech, and listing a bunch of examples, is not an effective message to stop the protests.
Grow a pair and choose a side! The side to choose is the side of our allies, not the side of terrorists. C’mon man! Look, the Palestians voted for their government, which turned out to be Hamas, a terrorist group. Israel is our oldest and strongest ally and trading partner. The choice is easy, unless you’re just placating for votes.
Look, here’s the deal. I see it as a national security threat. One of the most effective ways to defeat your enemy is to divide and conquer. This has long been a Socialist-Marxist, tactic. Carpe diem – seize the day. Find the advantage, and exploit your foe. The goal of our adversaries is not to defeat us militarily, but to create dissent and chaos among us. Idiocy is their tool. Case in point.
If we recognize it, we can defeat you. I mean, it. It. I meant it. We can defeat it.
In the book, Art of War, the great warrior, Sun-Tzu wrote, “If his forces are united, separate them.” In other words, divide and conquer. This is the socialistic-tactic of puppet-masters like George Soros. Make no mistake, those behind the funding of these protests, want this country divided. Not just divided, but they want us to fight amongst ourselves.
Whether you take it from Matthew, Mark, or Luke (Matthew 12:25; Mark 3:25; Luke 11:17), or from Abraham Lincoln, the truth is, “a house divided cannot stand.” Our nation is becoming more and more divided, and no one is doing anything to bring us together. Rather, the politicians propagate the division for votes, and the media exploits the division for ratings.
There has been massive funding to coordinate various movements over the past several years. This pro-Palestinian, or let’s just call it what it is, anti-Israel protests is just the latest, and lamest, cause du jour of these radical, fascist, socialist groups. All one has to do is look at the make-up of the people in the crowd. I mean, C’mon man!
Custom shirts, $400 tents, professional signs, etc. Funding is apparently coming from a variety of sources; the Rockefeller Brothers, George Soros through his Open Society, and some funding is actually coming from student activities fees.
Over $1.3M have been funneled into the “resistance,” and over $15M in recent years. In fact, professional agitators are paid up to $1K a month to radicalize our youth and instigate violence, turning peaceful protests into destructive riots. These are your donors, Joe.
Sun-Tzu also wrote, “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.” In the midst of the chaos on campuses and the crisis on our southern border, vetting and following a process is increasingly important. To borrow some of your words, Joe, America is being destroyed from the “bottom up and middle out.” All the while, alleged leadership turns a blind eye.
Since I’ve shared quotes from a Chinese Warrior, maybe I should ask you a question. Did you know that the Chinese seem to be slowly invading our country? So far in FY24, 24,376 Chinese nationals have been encountered at the Southwest border, 24,214 of them apprehended illegally crossing the border. Encounters of Chinese nationals in March 2024 increased over 8,000 percent compared to March 2021.[3] Not a joke.
Dude, from what I understand, you cannot even leave China without permission from the Chinese government.[4] So, how are they leaving? More importantly, why are they leaving and why are they taking advantage of our porous southern border to cross into our country illegally. Finally, are they simply leaving China for a better life, or are they actually being sent by the Chinese government for a more nefarious purpose? Asking for a friend.
Now to the segment I like to call, “Quiet parts read out loud,” literally.

“Four more years….pause.” Joe said, glancing around, looking to all the world like a man whose TV remote is attached to a string. It’s a little quiet before the audience realizes what he’s asking for and erupts into “Four more years” chants.[1] Well, “erupts” is a bit of an overreach, but you were there. Seriously, you were there. That was you speaking. C’mon man! Are you okay? Pause.
I see things like this, Joe, and I can’t help but think, “What the hell is Jill thinking?” Does she not love you, or even care about you a little bit? Dude, my wife told me that if I walked and talked and acted like you, she’d “shut me down.” I’m not exactly sure what she means by that, but she had a pretty serious look on her face. Got any tips on how to sleep with one eye open? Pause.
Joe, I have another question for you. My wife and I were at Costco the other day, again, and I asked my wife why she was buying so much chicken. She told me that she was tired of eating eggs. Then I asked her, aren’t chickens just grown-up eggs? Anyway. The question I have is, when you say something stupid to Jill, what kind of flowers do you buy? Pause.
Some thoughts on the economy. You and your cronies keep saying, “The economy is great! People are spending more money than they ever have.” Exactly! But guess what. That spending doesn’t necessarily equate to a “great” economy. Yes, people are actually spending more money and infusing the economy. But guess what, again. They’re not buying more items. They’re just paying more for the items they’re buying.
I think this pretty much sums up your shitty, literally, “build back better” plan. Pause.
So, stop with the interviews. You recently claimed that inflation was at 9% when you came into office. Lie. Actually, it was 1.3%. You keep blaming U.S. corporations. Well, “don’t.” In case you didn’t know, it costs money to run a business. “Pay their fair share?” They do. How about a tax break for those corporations that put money back into their business to make products more affordable for American citizens, and to employ more people? Wait, that would be reimplementing a Trump idea. Pause.
Look, taxing “big business” more means, “we the people” pay more. No joke. Damn it, just give me a president that will get the price of hamburger at Costco back below $4.00 per lb. Give me a president that will get gas prices back below $2.50 a gallon. Heck, give me a president that can make Dollar Tree a dollar again! Oops, that, again, would be Trump policies. Pause.
Until next time, have a weekend!
