Rightside Way Monologue

So, last night Joe Biden gave a speech from the Oval Office….it was touted as his

“farewell speech”…..he pointed out himself that he is ending 50 years of service in

DC……and I for one am really glad….at the risk of sounding like I’m kicking a man

when he’s down, let me kick again……because last nights speech was the ultimate

attempt to once again gaslight the American public……but it fell flat….and while

there were some things I agreed with like the sentiments about the greatness of

our nation and the will of the people and the legacy of American

democracy…..those somehow felt more like platitudes…..like the speech writers

have already left the building so they pumped in some suggested AI generated

patriotic phrases and he read them off the teleprompter…..let’s be honest,

everything about Biden’s Presidency felt like we were watching Jim Carrey’s

character in the Truman Show…..

Did you ever see the Truman Show?....I’m generally speaking not a fan of Jim

Carrey……but the Truman Show was one of his only foray’s into actual

drama…..Carrey played the part of a man named Truman who didn’t know that he

was living in a reality show…..an entire world had been built around him with

actors playing his friends and family…..a whole town…..a whole

environment…..Truman had no idea that he lived in a fake world…..every day he

greeted his neighbors, went to work…..from the time that he was a child he had

been kept in a bubble with a plastic world that he thought was real…..meanwhile,

on the outside of the actual sets that the Truman Show used the world would

watch Truman’s life in real time…..he was the number one character in a world

that he thought was real and the rest of the world knew that it wasn’t…..but it

just went on and on…..Truman had habits that everyone smiled and nodded

at…..one of which was that every day he would step out of his front door, dressed

smartly for work, carrying his briefcase and wave at his neighbor as they watered

the flowers and say “Good morning! And in case I don’t see ya…..Good afternoon,

good evening and good night!”……the directors, actors and producers of the

Truman show were gaslighting the main character……

First of all, understand this…..”gaslighting” is considered in clinical circles as a

form of psychological manipulation in the midst of abusive relationships…….a

means by which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their

victims mind…..it’s a means by which one individual seeks to gain power and

control over another by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own

judgment and intuition…….The term “gaslighting” comes from the 1938

play Angel Street, which Alfred Hitchock later adapted into the film Gaslight, in

which a man tries to convince his wife that she is going insane so he can steal

from her. When he turns on the lights in the attic to search for her jewelry

collection, and the gas lights dim downstairs, he tells her it’s all in her

imagination. Gradually she begins to question her own memories and

perceptions……but the term has become a more normalized part of the daily

vernacular and used often to describe what happens when public discourse, or

political speeches, or social media censoring, or any other form of dialogue works

to create an alternate view coupled with an insulting or canceling or threatening

of the person with the opposite view……

but there was a point in the movie when reality began to seep in……Truman

began to sense trouble in paradise and he no longer trusted people who told him

that everything was okay…..that he was okay…..and he began to lash out and get

erratic……he tried to take back control…..tried to seize the narrative…..and at

every turn the actors who pretended to be his friends and family just patted him

on the head and told him condescendingly that everything was well and that he

had it all under control……until one day they couldn’t hide it from him anymore

and reality hit Truman like a brick….his whole life was a fake…….and somehow

Biden’s speech last night felt like that……the speech felt like he desperately

wanted to believe his reality, but he had already begun to believe the actual

reality……but yet, he sat there in the Oval Office last night and basically put on his

fake face in his farewell speech and said ““Good morning! And in case I don’t see

ya…..Good afternoon, good evening and good night!”……it was a symbol of his

entire failed Presidency…..

Do you remember how many times Biden appeared to have no grasp of the

facts…..no ability to convey the ground truth of events……I believe it was very

likely because he was kept from the truth……told that things were great by his

staff and family who were really just manipulating him to get the narrative they

wanted…..Biden was living in the Truman show…..

Like the time in 2022 when Biden literally took a question from Fox’s Peter Doocy

during a rare press event…….Doocy asked about the constant walkbacks that

White House staff had to provide to clean up Biden’s errant comments on

Ukraine……the first thing out of his mouth: “nobody’s walking back

anything!”…….Doocy then gave him a list of the 3 major gaffes from the previous

72 hours……chemical weapons respond in kind, US troops going to Ukraine, and

Putin should not remain in power……his response: “none of those 3 things ever

happened!”……we have not only the video and audio proof that they did but we

also have a photo of the cheat sheet Biden was holding in his hand when he

answered Doocy that told him how best to spin his answers to walk back the

question of walk backs……folks, if that isn’t a man living in an alternate reality I

don’t know what is…….and it was like that all the time…..

Last night he gave a speech that touted successes that never happened…..he said

that his administration had created more jobs than anyone…..but they were really

just jobs that people went back to after the Covid lockdowns were lifted…..he said

that the world is safer as Afghanistan is now back in Taliban hands, Ukraine is on

fire, and the middle east is in conflict…….he pressed in on the dark efforts of what

he called a “rich oligarchy” rising in power that don’t “pay their fair share” while

just a week ago he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to none other than

progressive dark lord billionaire George Soros……he claimed that the economy he

is leaving to the incoming Trump administration is the best ever – never mind the

rampant inflation, never mind that the economy is one of the number one

reasons he lost the election……to hear his speech you would think that Joe Biden

was taking a victory lap after completing two amazing world changing terms….but

instead he is a among a select group of one-term Presidents and he is leaving

office with his worst approval ratings ever with only 33% of Americans believing

he did good job…..by the way that’s less than half the approval ratings that

Democrat Presidents Clinton and Obama left office with…..but there was a

moment in the movie, the Truman Show, when the manipulating directors, actors

and producers could no longer control the narrative…..a moment when Truman

stumbled upon truth and began to see that he had been misled….and then the cat

was out of the bag and the truth of his fake existence came crashing down and

the Truman Show came to an end….I believe that Joe Biden had that moment in

June of last year when he took the debate stage…..his handlers had told him he

was fine, everything was good, no problems, you got this, you’re doing a great job

boss, the country loves you!......but even still they took a week off to prep him…..a

whole week out of the White House…..and then he stepped on that stage with

Donald Trump and completely unraveled as the whole world watched the Biden

Show come crashing to an end…..the jig was up…..the gaslighting of Joe Biden, the

gaslighting of America was finally over…..his handlers were desperate so they

tried to spin that everything was still fine and that as a magnanimous gesture of

statesmanship he would step aside and let the younger generation have the

helm…..but we could see it because he could now see it…..

Last night’s speech was the final scene in a fake presidency…..it was pitiful and

maddening all at the same time…..I believe that Joe Biden finally saw what they

didn’t want him to see….that he was being used, lied to, and that he wasn’t even

the one making the decisions…..he was a character in a reality show…..

So last night, from the Oval Office, Joe Biden looked into the camera and told

America……“Good morning! And in case I don’t see ya…..Good afternoon, good

evening and good night!”
