President Joe Biden, 80, got surly at the White House today, sreaming at the press to name one thing he’s failed in during his time in office. Biden should be looking at his aggregate polls showing him with a 41% approval ratings, meaning on average he’s well under 40% in certain polls Biden and his 56-year-old Vice President are busy gas lighting the public about how good the economy is performing under his leadership, when the Federal Reserve had to intervene over a year ago to hike interest rates to reverse the worst inflation in over 40-years. “Name me single objective we’ve ever set out too accomplish that we’ve failed on. Name me one, in all our history. Not one!” Biden shouted. It’s never bee a good bet to bet against America, and it’s still not a good bet today,” Biden said conflating his performance with U.S. history.
Biden has faced a ton of criticism from both sides of the aisle for his management of the economy and foreign policy. Going from low inflation after a year in office to the worst inflation in 40-years, Biden takes zero responsibility for in pandemic bailouts, Infrastructure and Inflation Reduction Act. Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act was most likely inflationary, something Federal Reserve Board Chairma Jerome Posells had to mitigate by vigilantly raising interest rates over the last year. Inflation still poses a threat to the U.S. economy, especially with the dollar losing value against European and Asian currencies. If you listen to Biden, how can anyone challenge any of his domestic or foreign policies. Biden says “name me one thing” that hasn’t gone right since he took office. What does Biden think what’s happening in Ukraine where the U.S. Treasury spends billions on a proxy war with the Kremlin.
Biden started the inflationary cycle by pouring trillions in stimulus into the economy during the pandemic at the same time launching a Russian oil embargo. Biden threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin with the worst sanctions in world history if Russia invaded Ukraine. Instead of meeting with Putin to discuss Ukraine security, Biden pushed Putin to invade Feb..35, 2022. When Biden boycotted Russian oil, insisting the European Union do the same, he drove the biggest run-up in oil prices since the Middle East oil embargo in the early ‘70s. With oil and gasoline in short supply, prices went through the roof in the U.S., Europe and Asia, fueling the worst inflation in over 40-years. How’s that for something Biden has done wrong? Biden’s economic decisions have been abysmal, fueling inflation and harming consumers everywhere.
Biden wants someone to name one thing he’s done wrong managing the economy and foreign policy. What does Joe think happened to U.S. foreign policy under his watch? He’s watched U.S.-Russian relations deteriorate to Cold War lows, actually worse because Biden funds a proxy war against the Kremlin, and the Kremlin knows it. Biden can’t pretend that not sending U.S. troops to Ukraine keeps the U.S. out of WW III. Russia sees the U.S. arming Ukraine as a direct-and-provocative threat on the Russian Federation. Putin sees the U.S. proxy war, supplying Ukraine with unlimited cash and lethal weapons as a war on Moscow. Biden not only has the U.S. in a war with the Kremlin, he threatens wars with Communist China. Biden has antagonized Beijing to the point that war with Beijing is a growing possibility, not a remote, unthinkable prospect heading for the 2014 election.
Biden’s in active campaign mode with Kamala touting his great accomplishment to a skeptical audience. He wants to dare the press to name one thing he’s done wrong. Most the Democrat-friendly press isn’t objective about critiquing Biden, instead giving him a pas on just about everything. When it comes to U.S.-Russian or U.S.-Chinese relations, how’s that gone for Biden? All you hear the White House talking about, including 60-year-old Secretary of State Antony Blinken, is about beating Russia on the battlefield by supplying Ukraine more arms and confronting Beijing with more sanctions and military alliances. Biden and Blinken have invited the Indo-Pacific community to form as NATO-like organization to confront Communist China. How’s that suppose to work for the Pacific Rim, or, looking at the big picture, for world peace? WW III has never been closer under Biden.
Biden thinks any criticism about his failed polices are directed toward the United States. No one doubts American resolve. They doubt Biden’s geriatric leadership that brought back hyperinflation and pushed the globe to WW III. How does Biden plan to reestablish diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation while he’s at war with the Kremlin? How can the global economy thrive when Biden’s boycotted Russian oil, driving crude oil prices through the roof. How can Biden contain inflation when he pushed alternative energy when the U.S. no longer has fossil fuel independence under his anti-fossil fuel policies? “This isn’t about the past. It’s about the future we’re going to build. And I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future,” Biden said. Biden’s approval ratings tell very different story about the American public having serious doubts about his leadership.
