Stricken with Covid-19, BA.5 variant, 79-year-old President Joe Biden picked a good time to start lashing out at 76-year-old former President Donald Trump. Faced with the worst approval ratings in U.S. history, Biden had enough free time recovering from Covid to lash out at Trump knowing that’s what helped to his approval ratings when he ran for president in 2020. Defeating Trump Nov. 3, 2020, Biden thought he’d have an easy time as president, sailing along to high approval ratings, when his domestic-and-foreign policy crashed in his first year-and-a-half in office. Not only has the economy done poorly with hyperinflation and soaring gas price and commodity prices hitting American consumers, Biden decided March 26 that it was time to get rid of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now locked in a bitter proxy war in Ukraine, Biden finds himself in quicksand.

Biden didn’t foresee the adverse fallout on the U.S. and world economy to boycotting Russian oil. Thinking the Saudis could make up the loss of some 10% of the world’s oil supply from Russia, Biden was sadly mistaken, watching oil prices surge in the United States. When gas prices skyrocket, all commodities go up because the cost of logistics goes up with added fuel costs. So, with all that’s going, Biden’s approval ratings have plummeted dipping the t he 36% range, unheard of especially for a president backed the press. Watching the highly biased Jan. 6 House Select Committee hearings, Biden blasted Trump for sitting around for over three hours and doing nothing while rioters wreaked havoc on the Capitol. Biden spoke on Zoom to Black Law Enforcement Executives, slamming Trump for doing nothing, watching the Jan. 6 riots for hours without stopping the riot.

Biden told law enforcement executives, that the police did everything possible to manage the unwieldy crowds that swarmed the Capitol Jan. 6, 2021. “On Jan. 6, we relied on law enforcement to save our democracy. You know what happened. The Capitol Police, the D.C. Metropolitan Police, other law enforcement agencies were attacked and assaulted before our very eyes . . “ Biden said. Biden said nothing about the Capitol Hill police shooting and killing 36-year-old Arizona resident Ashly Babbitt. No other gun violence killed anyone other than the Capitol police shooting Babbitt. Biden talks, like most Democrats, about law enforcement saving democracy from the angry Capitol mob. Biden said nothing about 42-year-old Capitol Policeman Brian Sicknick who the New York Times, Washington Post and every liberal broadcast outlet said Sicknick died of injuries form the angry mob.

FBI reports after Jan. 6 confirmed that the Jan. 6 riot had been planned for months, not a result of a passionate speech Trump gave at the Ellipse in the morning. FBI officials knew in advance that there was likely going to be trouble Jan. 6, the day Congress was to certify the Elector College election results. Yet the FBI didn’t coordinate with the National Guard, Capitol Police, D.C. Police or any other agency to provide better security around the Capitol. Had the FBI done its job Jan. 6, there would have been no Capitol riot and mob scene. “Speared, sprayed, stomped on, brutalized. Lifves were lost. And for there hours, the defeated from president of the United States watched it all happen, as he sat in the comfort of the private dining room of the Oval Offce,” Biden said. Biden knows on Babbitt died Jan. 6, shot by Capitol Police trying to enter the building.

House Jan. 6 Select Committee insists that Trump planned and orchestrated the Jan. 6 riots, all on hearsay, gossip and innuendo. When it comes to Trump doing something Jan. 6, what was he suppose to do? Getting on the telephone, go down to the Capitol with a bullhorn, or do what? He had nothing to do with the riots other than continuing to repeat his misguided belief that the Nov. 3, 2020 election was stolen from him. “While [Trump] was doing that, brave law enforcement officers were subject to the medieval hell for three hours, dripping in blood, surrounded by carnage, face-to-face with a crazed mob that believe the lies of the defeated president. The police were heroes that day. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act . .” Biden said, reading his talking points to the Black police executives. Biden acts like Trump could on instant notice wave off the angry mob, like he’s was their commander- in-chief.

Biden feels right i attacking former President Trump but not doing his job or preserving world peace or a promoting a prosperous U.S. economy. Other than bashing Trump, what does Joe have to say to the American public? How well the economy is going or how he’s wrecked U.S.-Russia and U.S.-Chinese relations in a matter of months? Biden likes talking about what Trump didn’t do Jan. 6, he certainly doesn’t talk about what he’s not doing daily as president. “The brave women and me, all across this nations, should never forget that. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-American,” said Biden. Biden keeps calling Jan. 6 and insurrection, when an angry mob when ballistic for one day. Biden said nothing when angry mobs decimated U.S. cities for four months in the Summer of 2020.
