Anatomy of a Failed Presidency
President Biden’s State of the Union address last night should have began and ended with a sincere apology to the American people.
He's directly responsible for abandoning thousands of American citizens and our allies to terrorists in Afghanistan; reversing effective border policies leading to the worst immigration crisis in American history, with over eight million illegal aliens entering the country.
On his watch, he's overseen a Department of Justice (DOJ) that fails to follow the rule of law. It does so, in part, by not detaining and deporting criminal illegal aliens who have committed the most heinous crimes against our brave law enforcement personnel and young people, including the brutal murder of Laken Riley.
In a nearly unimaginable disclosure, we were recently made aware that President Biden has flown as many as 320,000 illegal aliens from their home countries to America and that he refuses to disclose what cities or states he's dropping them off in.
This leaves local communities in the dark, responsible for these individuals' care.
Our nation's 46th president is responsible for record inflation making it nearly impossible for American families to fill up a grocery cart and gas tank on the same day.
Additonally, he has made the American Dream of home ownership a mere pipe dream for Americans.
By waging war on American energy dominance, he's pushed our allies into the arms of Vladimir Putin and Iranian mullahs who use the proceeds from gas and oil sales to wage the tragic and illegal war in Ukraine, and to fund the dastardly terrorists who attacked our closest ally in the Mideast, Israel, on Oct. 7, 2023.
That tragic, bloody day which will forever be remembered as a stain on humankind.
Biden and his radical Democrats have since turned their back completely on Israel, siding with the very terrorists who committed these crimes against humanity.
His bungled handling of foreign endeavors continues to make the United States a global laughingstock. This concurrently means we have been brought closer to World War III than ever before, since at least the time of the October, 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
Why and how?
His projection of strategic weakness is both consisitent and constant.
The lack of respect shown rightfully to him as commander in chief of our military was best demonstrated when his own Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, did not deem it necessary to inform him that he would be incapacitated for days, and incapable of running the military.
Morale in the armed services is at the lowest in my lifetime and is demonstrated by the worst recruiting numbers since the Vietnam War.
Young Americans don't want to be bombarded with the woke agenda that permeates all of the services.
Parents do not want the lives of their children to be subject to the flawed judgment of a proven bumbler.
Americans are markedly worse off now than they were three years ago, and the buck stops with President Biden.
Unfortunately, due to his disastrous handling of the economy, that dollar is only worth 85 cents.
The entire Biden administration has been an unmitigated disaster.
Joseph Robinette Biden should beg for the forgiveness of the 13 Gold Star Families he created through incompetence in Afghanistan, and every American family who've lost a loved one to the fentanyl being smuggled across his open borders, or brutalized and murdered by criminal illegal immigrants.
Criminals he's refused to deport.
