Joe Biden’s continuing adventures with Air Force One – in which he continues to demonstrate how challenging stairs can be, coupled with his latest adventure in cycling – are perfect metaphors for the first 18 months of his presidency. Don’t get me wrong – I couldn’t care less if our president is a complete klutz. It is, however, the perfect illustration of the quality of his leadership. Every decision he’s made has been a misstep.
On the subject of energy policy, during the last 4 years, the United States achieved energy independence for the first time in generations. Joe Biden decided, for some unknown reason, to curtail domestic production and return us to dependence on foreign oil. Gas prices are skyrocketing (over 30% increase in only 2 months) and we are once again tied economically to the most unstable region in the world. This was a solved problem. Now it’s broken again.
Relative to immigration, within days of entering office, the Harris/Biden administration announced the reversal of the immigration policies of the Trump administration. It seems that when we announced to the world that illegal border crossers would be treated humanely and with respect – the world’s masses understood it to be an open invitation. Who could have seen that coming? Now the border is being overrun. At last count, we now have 13,000 unaccompanied children detained at the border – and yes, they are in cages. Biden took an immigration problem and turned it into a crisis.
However, the administration’s stance on foreign policy is the most alarming. In recent years, China has become increasingly belligerent. They’ve reneged on their agreement relative to Hong Kong and are imposing autocratic rule. They’re even flying nuclear capable bombers around Taiwan with impunity. The United States had a chance to address these provocations at our first summit with China in Anchorage Alaska. Instead, the nation that considers slave labor an industrial resource, lectured us about our human rights violations – and our administration had no rebuttal. They’re calling us out, like a school-yard bully – and we’re cowering. Eventually we’ll have to face them. Luckily, we’ll have a new cadre of transgendered soldiers to do so. That should give the Chinese pause.
Final score:
- Energy policy – easily avoidable stumble
- Immigration policy – tragic stumble
- Foreign policy – big, dangerous, and stability threatening stumble
Changing the subject slightly – the “Jetway Stumble” story also told us a lot about the MSM – and there’s nothing metaphorical about it. It in fact has been quite revealing. There wasn’t a single question about the President’s physical or mental health. The MSM gave us around the clock repetition of White House talking points – “It was just the wind. Nothing to see here.” The MSM has completed its transformation to the propaganda ministry of the Democrat party. Thankfully, this is making them a resource with diminishing returns for the Democrats. A propaganda operation stops being effective when everybody knows it’s a propaganda operation.
