The Fault Dear Biden….
By Patrick Hall
You must admire the sheer moxie displayed by President Biden and his administration. They don’t take responsibility for any of the calamities that we, and the world, are currently living through. From high energy prices to the Russians’ invasion of Ukraine, Biden has displayed a unique ability to parse out blame to whomever.
I don’t seem to remember Putin and his military invading anybody during the four years of the Trump administration. If anything, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China were kind of afraid of the unpredictable Orange Man residing in the White House. Trump was mostly a straight-talking (albeit a bit chafing at times) nonpolitician, who would smile and calmly talk with Putin and Xi Jinping but would place a foot-up-their-ass if they messed with the United States. Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, Qasem Soleimani, and Assad of Syria learned that lesson hard. If you remember Trump’s missile strikes against Assad back in 2019 quieted him and his Putin back regime down.
They and other dictators of the world knew this about Trump and his administration. Trump similar to Reagan projected strength, while the weak, fragile, “cognitive mess” that is Joe Biden is simply not suited for the job. You have to believe many of the 81 million people, who voted for Biden, must feel conflicted. Ok! I understand. You didn’t like the way that mean-old President Trump comported himself at times. The moronic semantic constantly repeated against Trump during his administration was, that he didn’t act Presidential. I keep asking myself, what in the hell did that ever mean. But it worked, coupled with Covidien Politics to get him out of office. Putin, XI Jinping, and Iranian Mullahs loved it.
A Quick Score Card
Here are some obvious facts to remind most anti-Trumpers. Keep in mind, that they probably won’t make any difference in changing their mindset. Think of the following as a “socio-political-therapeutic” for your sanity.
1.Once more, during the Trump Presidency Russia didn’t do a damn thing.
2.Islamic Terrorist groups like ISIS were reduced to nothing.
3.The Iran Nuclear deal was negated during the Trump Administration. Currently, the Russians, and the Mullahs, along with the blessings of the Biden administration have restarted the Iran deal. Iran is now on its way to developing a Nuclear weapon.
4. Biden’s reckless anti-oil and gas policies are the regulatory octopus that is strangling our economy. It is the main progenitor of inflation.
5.North Korea went from shooting missiles over Japan and threatening us to acting as quietly as a church mouse until Biden took office.
6.Under the Obama/Biden administration Putin invaded and took over Crimea and Georgia. Nothing was ever done about it. Check that. I believe we sent blankets, food, and our best wishes to the people of Crimea and Georgia.
7.Biden has replaced Obama’s leading from behind strategy, with the Over-the-horizon diplomacy. Do you think it’s working well?
8.The so-called Russian reset orchestrated by Hillary Clinton during the Obama/Biden administration was a total failure. But it was great on optics. Do you remember the goofy reset button?
9.Unlike Biden’s weakness, XI Jinping understood that he could not strong-arm Trump.
10.It was Biden and not Donald Trump who forked over 400 million dollars to the Mullahs of Iran. This was followed later with a $1.3 billion payment to the Mullahs, just before Obama/Biden left office. However, Obama/Biden did demonstrate, that they were deeply concerned with not hurting the feelings of a nation, that wants to murder every single American.
11.Remember, when Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney was trying to warn the Obama/Biden Administration about the existential dangers posed by Russia back in 2012. Both Obama and Biden mocked Romney for it.
12. Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, which saw 13 American service personnel killed, abandoning over 200 thousand green-card holders, and giving up Bagram Air Force base, to the Taliban against the advice of his top military advisors, was unconscionable. Afghanistan is an unfolding nightmare.
13.Trump Administration was on its way to securing our southern borders. On the other hand, President Biden seems more concerned about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Folks, the Southern Border is still wide open. We now have 2-3 million illegals roaming our country. Wait a minute! I forgot we’re a nation of immigrants. And we should refer to them as “undocumented persons.” That should keep us safe.
14. Under Trump we were a net exporter of energy.
15. I wonder if Biden still believes that Climate change and white supremacism are the most pressing problems facing the United States and the world in particular.
