The Biden Presidency - The End Of An Error - Part Three

 This is the next in a series of posts today themed under the title, “The Biden Presidency - The End Of An Error,” In our opinion, Biden has been, by far, the worst President in the past 100 years or so. His list of failures is amazingly long, his list of successes and accomplishments is quite literally void of anything worthwhile.


The first post in this series can be accessed at:

The next few posts will list the failures that have been documented by other Americans. Obviously, there will be some overlap across different writers but at the end of the day, one thing will be clear: the country and its citizens are in far worse shape than they were in January, 2021 when Biden took office.


Today we get input from Jarrett Steman, writing for the Daily Signal website (link to his whole article is below):


Illegal Immigration


  • The worst border crisis in U.S. history.

  • Biden stripped away border security measures very early in his administration including disbanding the “Remain  In Mexico” program.

  • He directed the Census Bureau to include illegal immigrants in its Congressional reapportionment analysis to help retain Democrat Party controlled Congressional districts.

  • Since Biden has let well  over 10 million illegal immigrants walk into the country, those illegal immigrants in total are bigger than the population of at least 40 individual states.

  • These 10 million illegal immigrants have stretched and thinned out local and state government benefits and services for American citizens.


D.E.I.


  • Biden made it clear that advancing D.E.I. principles was a primary objective in all Federal departments,  regardless of the consequences of putting inadequate people in positions of power.

  • “From advancing critical race theory, to promoting gender transition for minors, to obliterating American history on public land, the Biden administration has empowered the bureaucracy to turn “diversity, equity, and inclusion”—or DEI—into a kind of ideological state religion.”


Weaponizing Agencies


  • The Biden administration worked hard at weaponizing government resources to hinder and harm its political opponents.

  • A prime example of weaponization was Biden’s rapid expansion of the IRS to harass his opponents like when the IRS made an unannounced visit to journalist Matt Taibbi’s home the day he testified before Congress.

  • Biden’ Department of Justice made life difficult for parents who were exercising their First Amendment rights as citizens and parents but who dared to participate and protest at school board meetings, labeling them domestic terrorists.

  • The Department then moved on to investigate, without due cause,  Catholic charities that were exercising their First Amendment rights in the area of abortion, also  labeling them as domestic terrorists.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson: “I’ve made it very clear that, in my view, the evidence shows that, the FBI, for example, in the last couple of years has been weaponized. We have the evidence to show it. They have, in some cases, targeted people of faith. They’ve targeted conservative Catholics and concerned parents at school board meetings and all the rest. The evidence is very clear that that’s happened.”

  • And yet,  the Justice Department has stayed mute when it came to pro life pregnancy centers being targeted for  arson and vandalism.


Economic Policy 


  • Rather than blame himself and his administration for his failed economic policies he tried to divert blame to companies by inventing the concept of “shrinkflation.”

  • He claimed that he created more jobs than any President ever which was false since he was counting the millions of people that were simply returning to their existing jobs after covid subsided.

  • According to economics expert E.J. Antoni: “According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, prices paid by business and consumers alike have increased 18% on average since Biden took office in January 2021.”

  • His administration was a big part of the reason why hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars was lost through government covid problems, either through criminal fraud or government inefficiencies, as pointed out by the Associated Press: “An Associated Press analysis found that fraudsters potentially stole more than $280 billion in COVID-19 relief funding; another $123 billion was wasted or misspent. Combined, the loss represents 10% of the $4.2 trillion the U.S. government has so far disbursed in COVID relief aid.”


Foreign Diplomacy


  • There was no accountability for the shambles that was the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

  • Biden threw well over $100 billion into the Ukraine/Russian war with no end in sight.

  • He inherited a very stable Middle East situation from Trump and almost turned into an all  out war between Iran and Israel besides the fighting between Israel and Hamas and Hezbollah.

  • He allowed China to take aggressive actions against the U.S. with no retribution.

  • The Biden administration has given very high priority to D.E.I. and  LGBTQ initiatives rather than impriving the ability and effectiveness of the Defense Department and State Department.

  • The Pentagon has experienced a historic collapse in recruitment rates for the armed services.


Return To Normalcy


  • Biden campaigned in 2020 that he would restore normalcy and confidence in the Presidency and the country, a task that he has failed at.

  • Rather than unite the country, he called his political opponents garage and insurrectionists.

  • He weaponized the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents.

  • He lashed out at reporters who questioned his obvious cognitive decline.

  • His decline has raised doubt as to who really is actually running the country, certainly not a return to normalcy.


Certainly more proof that the end of the Biden presidency is the “end of an error.” The detailed article and analysis by writer Jarrett Stepman  can be found at the following link:
