A reference to former President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan, Biden coined the term in a speech last week to describe the GOP agenda and what he said are extreme positions from congressional and down-ballot Republicans. The president has repeated it in remarks at the White House and stump-style speeches across the country. On Tuesday, Biden’s press secretary described it as “the president’s phrase,” adding the “ultra” epithet for “a little extra pop.”
BIDEN INVENTS ‘ULTRA-MEGA’ REPUBLICANS AS MIDTERM ELECTION TRUMP SUBSTITUTE
But the origins of the attack go back further.
For six months, Democratic messaging guru Anita Dunn and the Center for American Progress Action Fund oversaw an effort to discern Republicans’ weak spot, according to the Washington Post. Dunn, a longtime Biden adviser, returned in May to the White House in a senior adviser role — the third time since the start of the president’s term.
“MAGA,” the group’s surveys and focus groups found, stood out in battleground areas
for its negative ties.
But the slogan, intended to malign Republicans by tying their agenda to Trump,
has instead ricocheted back as many on the Right embrace the new moniker.
That includes the former president, who “absolutely loved” Biden’s reference to “my predecessor, the great MAGA king” during a Chicago union hall speech this week and mocked Biden and Democrats privately for failing to understand how to sell a political message, a source briefed on Trump’s thinking told the Washington Post.
On Wednesday, his Save America PAC sent out fundraising calls featuring merchandise emblazoned with Trump as a MAGA Superman and embracing “ultra-MAGA” as a rallying cry.
“If loving your Country and wanting to put AMERICA FIRST makes you ULTRA MAGA, then yes. WE ARE ULTRA MAGA,” reads an email. It has also been co-opted by pro-Trump groups. An email Friday from Great America PAC asked supporters to answer,
“Just one question”: “Are you ULTRA-MAGA?”
The White House said Biden does not fear blowback from his new rhetorical attack.
Asked whether Biden might come to regret the slogan as former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton came to regret calling Trump’s supporters “a basket of deplorables” in 2016, Biden’s press secretary said he would not. “The president is not afraid to call out what he sees as extreme positions that are out of line with where the American people stand,” Jen Psaki said.
White House ‘inherited’ murder spike from Trump, Psaki says (msn.com)
Cities across America are experiencing a spike in violent crimes, and Democrats want you to believe it is higher in cities in Red States. However, in Ohio our major cities of Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati all have Democrat mayors and the Buck Stops at the Mayor’s Office. Blue cities represent the biggest jumps in crime by a wide margin considering the majority of those cities have Democrat protected police forces. Few large cities are governed by Republicans — only 26 of the 100 largest U.S. cities have Republican mayors — making apples-to-apples comparisons difficult.
Researching these 8 Cities Help Define the National Crime Wave.
Portland, Oregon, which was fabulous when I visited in 2017 (not so today) is the poster child for progressive leadership that leads to dysfunction and high crime. In 2020 Like Minneapolis, Portland was hit with protests. Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, not only participated in the protests, but he was tear-gassed at one.
Also, Chicago was the scene of some of the nation’s biggest protests and riots, with large parts of downtown (like Portland) burned and destroyed. Mobs tore through all three city’s famous shopping districts and looted stores en masse. It was a preview of what was to come. Mayor Lori Lightfoot mostly supported the protests in the city and pledged to cut $80 million from the police budget.
(On) Wednesday afternoon, on December 23, 2021 at around 2:45p.m., U.S. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., was carjacked at gunpoint in broad daylight in Philadelphia. The incident was symbolic of a city plunged into criminality and violence after years of decreasing crime. Like other cities on this list, Philadelphia leaders defunded police, but then refunded the force after crime went through the roof. That doesn’t tell the whole story, though. Violent crime had already been rising before the pandemic with the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. No surprise: San Francisco, the West Coast city now known for its left-wing politics and permissive attitude toward drugs and homelessness, has been rocked by violence and crime.

After the Floyd protests, Mayor London Breed and other city leaders defunded the police force by a massive amount. Not only that, but the city has one of the most notorious left-wing district attorneys in the country, Chesa Boudin. Boudin is another Soros-backed district attorney. His father, a member of the terrorist Weather Underground in the 1960s, served 40 years in prison in connection with the murder of two police officers and a Brink’s truck guard during a botched robbery. Like Krasner in Philly, Boudin pursued a course of declining to prosecute serious crimes, reducing sentences, and generally taking an anti-police attitude to law enforcement.
Almost nothing better symbolizes the decline and de-evolution of California than the recent train robberies in January 2022. “At a rate of 90 freight cars ransacked per day, Union Pacific estimates that thefts against its trains are up by more than 160% over the last year. In the year ending October 2021, the increase was a mind-boggling 356%,” the editors at National Review wrote. Images of empty Amazon boxes and wrappers strewn with unwanted merchandise about the tracks in Los Angeles demonstrate the scope of the problem. Even California’s Democrat Governor Newsom, upon surveying the situation, noted: “We look like a Third World country.”
Following the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020, New York City defunded the vaunted
New York Police Department. The City Council pulled about $1 billion out of the police budget in 2020.
The city’s Marxist mayor at the time, Marxist Warren Wilhelm Jr. (a.k.a Bill de Blasio), celebrated the move. “We are reducing the size of our police force by not having the next recruit class. We are reducing our overtime levels. We’re shifting functions away from police to civilian agencies,” de Blasio said, according to NPR. “We think it’s the right thing to do. It will take work. It will take effort and we’re going to be reforming that work in the meantime.”
Can you guess what happened next?
Violent crime went through the roof.
“The number of shootings soared 97% from 777 in 2019 to 1,531 in 2020 and murders jumped by 44% from 319 to 462, according to the NYPD,” the New York Post reported
and In 2021, things got worse. In a nod to the Black Lives Matter protests, the District of Columbia created a “Black Lives Matter Way” leading to the White House, then The D.C. City Council stripped $15 million out of the Metropolitan Police Department’s budget in support of the “defund the police” movement. It seemed Mayor Muriel Bowser was committed to the ideas of The Marxist Black Lives Matter group. In 2021, the city—
saw its most violent year in decades.
