It is the beginning of another month which means it is time again to review the latest political class insanity from the American political class. Each month it takes us multiple posts to cover the wasteful spending, incompetent government organizations and employees, government programs that usually make a problem worse than resolving it, inane and idiotic politician comments, etc.
To review past posts on this insanity and idiocy, just click on the first few posts in each month listed to the right of this page. After reviewing just a handful of these insanity posts we think you will agree that we are currently being served by the worst set of American politicians ever to hold office in our entire history.
1) Today’s post is going to be mostly focused on the cognitive decline of Joe Biden. Everyone has a slip of the tongue or a slip of the mind occasionally but when it happens so often and it happens in the presence of other symptoms, then eventually one has to reach the conclusion that he is in the throes of a cognitive decline caused by unknown causes at this point in time.
And these slips are not recent, they extend back into the middle of 2020 and the Presidential race. In fact, we made the case that his wife, his family and his political handlers were guilty of elder abuse to put him through the rigors of a Presidential campaign.
And now, we have a President who I feel sorry for but who has endangered the country, its citizens, and its freedoms with his continuing mental decline:
At a recent White House Medal Of Honor ceremony, Biden was honoring the bravery that came from retired Korean War Army veteran, Ralph Puckett.
Present at the ceremony was South Korean President, Moon Jae-in, obviously a high ranking member of an important ally.
Biden said that Puckett, his men, and the “people of the Republic of Korea have never forgotten” his bravery, “as evident by the fact that the Prime Minister of Korea is here for this ceremony. I doubt this has happened before. I can’t say that for certain, but I doubt this has happened before.”
The problem is that the Prime Minister of Korea was not present, the President of South Korea was present.
The Prime MInister was back in Korea, half a world away,
Again, we all screw up once in a while but Biden continues to make statements and spout misinformation all the time. This time he embarrassed an important ally by not knowing who was actually standing next to him.
2)As most know, Biden has created a drug cartel, criminal gang, sex trafficking, and illegal immigration humanitarian disaster at our southern border. Massive amounts of drugs are flowing into the country along with massive numbers of illegal immigrants which is straining the authorities’ ability to feed, house, and prevent the crime that comes with such a disaster.
Millions of people are being impacted by this crisis. It should be a top priority of Biden and his administration. Unfortunately, consider this hapless and shallow response to a legitimate question from a reporter to Biden about the border crisis:
Reporter: "Did you receive a briefing about the border today?"
Biden: “Yes.”
Reporter: “What did you learn?”
Biden: “A lot.”
At which point, an aide whisked Biden out and away from the reporters. This type of nonsense and shallowness does not give one a good feeling that anyone is in charge.
3)If the illegal immigration disaster is the top problem facing our country, then the fighting between the Israelis and the PLO over in the Middle East is likely the top disaster on a world wide basis. One would think and hope that the President of the United States, the leader of the free world, would take the situation seriously.
But to think and hope that Biden takes this seriously would not be a good bet:
Biden was recently in Detroit where they actually put him behind the wheel of Ford’s soon to be released all electric pickup truck.
They then paraded him out in front of the press for an obviously shallow photo op.
A reporter that cared more about people getting killed than a Biden photo op asked the President, while he was seated behind the steering wheel of the truck, “A quick question on Israel...since it is so important?”
To which Bien replied, “No, you can’t. Not unless you get in front of the car as I step on it.”
So many things wrong with this situation:
It was a legitimate question, it deserved a legitimate response.
People are dying over there in Gaza and Israel, it was not a time to kid around.
And threatening to run down a member of the press is not Presidential at all, not adult/mature at all.
“While America’s most important Middle East ally is under attack, Joe Biden threatened to run over a reporter for asking a question about it,” National Republican Senatorial Committee campaign worker Jonathan Turcotte said,
After even the left leaning press expressed tepid concern about such a threat, Biden claimed he was only kidding. Which really frames the problem: people are dying, the press wants answers and he is kidding around. Not very Presidential. By the way, he never answered the question, quickly speeding off in the truck.
As a side note, how violently would the mainstream media have reacted if Trump threatened to run over a member of the press, even if he was kidding? Just another side example of how biased and corrupt journalism has become in this country.
4) The country is about to get hit hard, very hard with economic inflation that will make just about everything more expensive from a cost of living perspective:
Gas prices have risen significantly since Biden became President and with Saudi Arabia looking to cut their daily production, gas prices will probably go even higher in the coming months.
The cost of lumber and many other essential things for life have also risen because of the Fed’s insanely low interest rates and the Federal government’s insanely out of control deficit spending.
Peter Schiff, the chief economist and global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital, told the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF), “People are going to be paying higher insurance, they’re going to be paying higher property taxes, local tax, utility rates are going to go way up. The 100% cause of inflation is the government … It’s when the government spends money that it doesn’t collect in taxes and then the Federal Reserve monetizes the resulting deficits by printing money.”
Henry Olsen, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a columnist at The Washington Post, also told the DCNF, “in the short term, consumers can expect to see rising prices across the board. I expect in the next few months people will be getting sticker shocked in virtually all aspects of their life.”
Gas prices up, lumber prices up, taxes up, utilities prices up, etc. A critical crisis that will affect every American. But when asked about inflation by a reporter at a news conference, “should Americans be worried about inflation, sir?” Biden simply turned and walked away. Did not address this critical issue, ignored the question and simply walked away.
Again, he does not generate any kind of confidence that he has a clue what he is doing, what he should be doing and has the ability to understand and resolve the problems facing the country.
The video of this interaction and his ignoring of the issue can be seen at:
Inflation on the rise, humanitarian crisis on the border, Middle East violently imploding, and Biden not knowing who is standing next to him. Through it all Biden seems to have no clue what is going on and how to fix the problems. Much like his cognitive decline, the state of the country is not looking any brighter either.
