Getting as much mileage from 79-year-old President Joe Biden as possible, CBS News “60 Minutes” host Scott Pelley got Biden to slam former President Donald Trump’s classified docs found by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago as irresponsible. Biden doesn’t hesitate to take shots at Trump, only recently saying that his MAGA following threaten U.S. democracy, a common charge of Democrats. “And I though that data was in there that may compromise sources and methods,” Biden told CBS News Scott Pelley regarding the Aug. 8 Mar-a-Lago raid of 25 boxes of files found in a locked basement, prompting Democrats and now Biden to say Trump committed crimes. Of the 11,000 documents found, only 100 had classified markings, despite sitting at Mar-a-Lago since Trump left office Jan. 20, 2021. Biden told Pelley he didn’t know a thing about the FBI’s Aug. 8 raid of Trump’s Palm Beach residence.
How would any docs kept in boxes in a locked basement “compromise methods and sources,” a charge against Trump coming from Democrats hoping to see him indicted. Biden has a lot of nerve talking about Trump threatening U.S. national security by holding classified dos in his locked basement. Democrats and the press are convinced Trump deliberately took classified docs from the White House to have leverage over the government. But when Trump left the White House in haste in January 2021, what makes anyone think Trump had anything to do with shipping classified docs from the White House to Mara-a-Lago? Anyone who thinks Trump had anything to do with shipping-and-delivers of classified docs is disingenuous. Biden calls Trump’s removal of docs “irresponsible” but doesn’t know whether Trump had anything to do with the transfer of docs from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.
Pointing fingers at Trump for endangering U.S. national security, Biden started a proxy war against the Kremlin, giving Ukraine unlimited cash-and-weapons to fight the Russian Federation. No one in the European Continent knows whether or not WW III will break out. Biden has wrecked U.S.-Russian and U.S.-Chinese relations in less than two years in office. Biden has the nerve to accuse Trump of compromising U.S. national security when the U.S. is in the most dangerous place since WW II. How could “anyone be that irresponsible,” Biden told Pelley about Trump shipping classified docs from the White House to Mar-a-Lago. Biden doesn’t look at himself starting a proxy war with the Russian Federation as irresponsible. Only Trump panders the Democrat-controlled media, compromises U.S. national security. Life on Trump was one of economic prosperity and peace around the planet.
Pelley never asked Biden about the advisability of starting a proxy war using Ukrainian troops with the Russian Federation. Only old worthless docs locked in a Mar-a-Lago basement compromised “strategies and methods,” according to Biden. Biden told Pelley without blinking that he would send U.S. troops to defend Taiwan in the event of a Mainland invasion. If that doesn’t compromise U.S. national security, then what does? So far, Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill support Biden’s proxy war against the Russian Federation, no matter what the risks to the European Continent. Yet as far as Biden is concerned, only Trump impacts national security by housing worthless old docs in Mar-a-Lago’s basement. Biden’s decision to arm Ukraine has stirred up a hornet’s nest with the Kremlin. Putin invaded Ukraine to let Biden know he can’t arm Kiev to the teeth without consequences.
When it comes to the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve Board Open Market Committee [FOMC] is on the verge of another massive rate hike, hoping to slow down runaway inflation. Biden has never admitted that the Russia oil embargo set off a spike in oil prices around the globe, putting the U.K. and EU into the worst economic recession since the 2008 financial crisis. Biden signed Aug. 16 the $750 billion Inflation Reduction Act, actually accelerating inflation, not containing it. With the housing market taking a hit, it looks to drag down the U.S. economy, leaving GDP in negative numbers. Biden wants to talk about what Trump did to the economy, only he can’t admit there was moderate growth and low inflation. Biden has borrowed so much cash, it’s fueled the worst inflation in 40 years. Watching EU and U.K. currencies plummet, shows the extent of economic woes overseas.
Biden, Democrats and the press want to blame Trump for everything but the kitchen sink. Trump’s economy was characterized by moderate growth, low inflation and prosperity. What happened in the last 20 months were abysmal decision-decision making about the economy and foreign policy. Alienating Russia and China have left U.S. national security in the worst place since WW II. Blaming Trump for retaining classified docs at Mar-a-Lago is a nice smokescreen but doesn’t begin to talk about Biden’s proxy war in Ukraine and developing conflict with Communist China. Biden has never explained why he was willing to wreck U.S.-Russian relations to protect Ukraine. Biden blames Russian President Vladimir Putin for the Ukraine war. But Putin didn’t blame the U.S. for the Afghan or Iraq war. Wrecking U.S.-Russia and U.S.-Chinese relations has endangered U.S. national security.
