American Greatness
The administration’s absurd rescue mission sends a message that if you are the right kind of American, Washington will stop at nothing to save you from the consequences of your decisions.
The Biden Administration’s exchange of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for WNBA player Brittney Griner is an unequivocal embarrassment for the United States and a moral victory for Russia. No Soviet “active measures” could make the United States look as foolish and decadent as Biden has just done.
It is one thing to give up a real-life James Bond villain nicknamed “The Merchant of Death” in return for an accused spy like Paul Whelan. It is quite another to give up said Merchant of Death for an entitled anti-American pothead who got herself into a jam through her own stupidity and carelessness.
But, one hears the liberal say, should we not celebrate the homecoming of an American? After all, isn’t she one of ours? That depends. What, exactly, are we celebrating? Can one recall a more obvious example of racially motivated patronage than this? Can an honest person deny that Griner would still be freezing in Siberia if she were a straight white male? Does her VIP treatment not rub against the very idea of equality on which this nation was founded?
