May, 2024, Political Class Insanity, Part 7: Joe Biden Failure Edition

Every month we devote posts to just general political class insanity that is running rampant through the country. The members of the American political class Far continue to show that they are incapable of efficiently operating any level of government in this country. 

Even their best efforts are almost always ineffective at resolving any problem facing Americans. They spend a great amount of time not trying to improve the lives of their citizens but continually ensuring their reelection and enriching themselves, their families, and their friends in the process, all at taxpayer expense.

1)We have often discussed the reality that Joe Biden is likely sliding deeper and deeper down into the pit into either senility or dementia. He is physically frail, has to be told exactly what to do even when it involves very mundane tasks, he cannot give coherent speeches and is delusional when it comes to events in  his life. This is NOT the type of person you want running the country or a person who theoretically has access to the nuclear weapon launch codes.

And recently he again demonstrated his continued failure to connect with reality. At a speech in Detroit, he proclaimed that in 2017, when he was Vice President, during the height of the covid  pandemic, President Obama sent him to Detroit to help fix the situation there. However, a few problems with this scenario that he laid out:

  • He was not Vice President in 2017.

  • Obama was not President in 2017.

  • Covid did not start until at least two years later.

Another set of lies or delusions, not sure what to believe why he lies like he does. Look, we feel sympathy for the man. I was the co-guardian of an elderly uncle who developed and eventually died from dementia. Biden should be getting the best medical care and as much rest as possible. He should not be leading the free world since he has no concept of what reality is. 

The real culprits are not Biden, but his wife, his family, and his political handlers who should all be brought up on elder abuse charges for what they have put him through. The clip where he makes this delusional statement can  be found in the following link:

2)Biden has failed on so many issues it is very sad and dangerous for the country:

  • Illegal  immigration.

  • Economic and fiscal  management.

  • Foreign affairs and  diplomacy.

The specific failures within each  of these broad categories could go on for days. 

And he recently suffered another foreign affairs failure:


  • For a long  time the U.S, has stationed about 1,500 troops in the African country of Niger.

  • The purpose of this deployment was theoretically to fight terrorism on the African continent.

  • This arrangement was viewed by most experts as critical in the fight against international terrorism.

  • Apparently, for years, Niger’s leaders and the U.S. enjoyed very favorable relations.

  • But things went south under Biden and Niger has decided it no longer wants U.S. troops on its soil.

  • To add insult to injury, the Niger leadership has allowed Russian troops to place its troops in the country with Russian and U.S. troops actually sharing the same military base until the U.S. can leave.

  • According to reporting by the Gateway Pundit, this breakdown in the relationship is caused by Molly Phee, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. 

  • Phee was accused by the Nigerian Prime Minister of threatening the current Niger leaders  during negotiations to keep U.S. troops in the country,  that she was condescending and showed no respect to the Niger leadership.

  • As a result, the Russians will move in as the American  troops move out after U.S. taxpayers spent a whopping $100 million to build the base the Russians will be using.

Another day, another failure.  Biden’ diplomacy has now failed miserably across many continents: this Niger failure in  Africa, the Israeli/Hamas/Iran debacle in the Middle East, North Korea and China in Asia. Failure all around.

3)Speaking of Biden’s failures, Memorial Day celebrations will be more expensive again this year, not surprising given the inflationary economic policies of Biden:


  • The costs of a Memorial Day barbecue this year is 10% higher than last year’s Memorial Day celebration.

  • The average price of a barbecue this year is $30 vs. $27 last year.

  • Meat prices are up almost 15% and some condiments are up as much as 50%.

  • As another insult, the average cost of a gallon of gas this holiday weekend is $3.61, up $.05 from  last Memorial Day and up $1.22 a gallon since Biden took office.

Failures all around for the Biden  Presidency.

4)Iran is the worst purveyor of state terrorism in the world. They rule with a very heavy hand over their own residents and would love to destroy Israel, the United States, and other nations who oppose their terrorism activities. 


In fact, one of their top leaders, and the most likely next leader of the country, was President Ebrahim Raisi, Raisi was nicknamed the “Butcher of Iran” for the thousands of Iranian citizens he sent to their deaths. He was also a leading player in attacking Israel.


Fortunately, he recently died when the helicopter he was traveling in crashed. Obviously, he was not a nice human being, given how many innocent people he sent to their deaths.  And yet, the Biden administration sent their official condolences to Iran on his death. Yes, the “Butcher of Iran” got official sympathy from the Biden administration.


This was obviously a stupid thing to do but something one would expect from the Biden administration, given their multitude of other diplomatic failures.


Members of Congress and others rightfully called out Biden for this disgrace:


  • Congressman Chuck Fleischmann: "It's shameful that President Biden's Administration would offer condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi – an evil tyrant who spent years repressing and butchering innocent people. Biden's foreign policy is to appease our enemies while abandoning our allies."

  • Congressman Pat Fallon: "Raisi was a murderous autocrat who brutally repressed the people of Iran. He was the architect of Iran's state sponsorship of terrorism and does not deserve NATO & the free world's condolences."

  • Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman: "This is crazy. What is going on? Did we send condolences to Germany when Hitler died?"

  • Jason Brodskym director of United Against Nuclear Iran:  "Today's statement by @StateDept offering 'official condolences' after #Iran's regime's president's death is a symptom of a larger problem. The Biden administration's Iran policy is adrift. Its attempt to keep the issue off the president's desk often results in a policy which lacks the necessary energy, creativity, and initiative. It is defined by an extreme and irrational risk-aversion. It tries to appease everyone at the same time – the regime included – and shoots itself in the foot time and again. The U.S. needs to lead with moral clarity. Today it did not do so."


Seems like Biden could not do  any worse even if he tried to do worse.


That will do it for today’s insanity, kind of a tribute to Biden’s utter failure as President across every dimension possible.

May, 2024, Part 3, Political Class Insanity: Biden Continues To Lie About Everything, Biden's Approval Ratings Continue To Sink, Proof Of Voting Corruption In Georgia and More

 Every month we devote posts to just general political class insanity that is running rampant through the country. The members of the American political class Far continue to show that they are incapable of efficiently operating any level of government in this country. 

Even their best efforts are almost always ineffective at resolving any problem facing Americans. They spend a great amount of time not trying to improve the lives of their citizens but continually ensuring their reelection and enriching themselves, their families, and their friends in the process, all at taxpayer expense.


1)Far too many times we have discussed Joe Biden’s habit, or call  it a sickness, to lie about any and all facets of his life. In fact, in a single blog post alone we documented 38 lies he had told over the years:


https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2023/01/38-times-that-joe-biden-blatantly-lied.html


He recently put forth another pair of lies that are so  easy to disprove that it makes you wonder if he is that delusional to believe the things he says or he thinks we are that stupid to believe the lies he tells:


  • He recently made a speech where he claimed that inflation was 9% when he took over the presidency and through his brilliant economic ability he got it down to just under 4%.

  • In reality, according to official government statistics, inflation was about 1.4% when he took office so he has actually increased the rate of inflation by almost three times.

  • Inflation was never any near 9% when Trump was the President.

  • At another speaking event, he made the following atrociously wrong statement: “On my watch, when we make promises, we keep them. And we leave no one behind.”

  • Except that he did leave people behind, he left Americans behind and stranded in Afghanistan with a thoroughly botched withdrawal.

  • He has left people behind in Russian jails, including Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and other Americans.

  • He has stranded U.S.  military forces in Niger.

  • He has stranded at least five Americans as hostages of Hamas as a result of the October 7th invasion of Israel.

  • He has stranded U.S. citizen Tigran Gambaryan in Nigeria where he is being held hostage.


Lying or delusional or both? Whatever the case, it is so clear that NOTHING this man  says can be taken as the truth.


2)Back in late 2020  and early 2021 we did a series of posts where we showed that many of the Presidential election results were statistically impossible or statistically improbable along with video and other evidence that convincingly shows that Biden did not get all  of the votes, 81 million, that he supposedly received. 


Now many Trump haters probably do not believe any of the analyses we did, any of the evidence we presented, given their hatred for Trump (complete disclosure: I did not vote for Trump and have never voted for a Republican candidate for President in my life despite having started voting in the 1970s.)


One of the states where a lot of hanky panky and vote total  manipulation apparently went on is in Georgia, specifically the Atlanta area. And recent events now show that the suspicions regarding corrupted voting practices in favor of Biden in that voting district  prove our original conclusions, the voting process was corrupted:


  • News reports report that the Georgia's state Election Board has voted to reprimand the Fulton County voting board and its officials for violations of Georgia voting laws and procedures.

  • Specifically, the findings reprimanded the Fulton County voting officials for “numerous violations of state law.”

  • Furthermore, the Board found  "clear evidence that in 2020 there were numerous violations of regulations and statutes"

  • The county now has to establish procedures  to make sure the violations do not happen again in the November elections.

  • One violation was with regard to the requirement to create and retain ballot images which was not done on a whopping 380,000 ballots.

  • Also, according to one of the state reviewers, voting scanners failed to provide documentation for an audit trail of ballots:"There’s no way that this election or recount should have been certified." 

  • In total there were “over 140 violations of election code laws and rules.”

  • These findings go together with previous reporting by the Georgia Star news that the 2020 Presidential election results in Georgia were certified even though the secretary of state did so "without having seen or reviewed the chain of custody documents associated with an estimated 600,000 absentee ballots deposited in 300 drop boxes around the state."

What a mess and an attack on a very basic American freedom and right, clean elections.

3)If a person illegally enters this country by definition, he has violated our laws, he has done something illegal. Pretty simple concept, a concept that the state of Iowa was guided by when they passed a recent immigration law that allows state police officers to arrest illegal immigrants who have been previously deported or barred from legally entering the country.


Pretty straightforward, you break the law multiple times, you are going to be arrested as a law breaker. But apparently this simple, straightforward concept is lost on Biden’s Justice Department since they have sued the state of Iowa over the law. The claim is that arresting lawbreakers violates their rights…even though as non citizens they have no rights. Insanity.


4)Maybe the insanity set forth in the previous point is one reason why Biden’s approval  rating is currently at a meager 38.7% according to a new Gallup poll. This is the lowest level of any President at this point in their first term since 1956, 68 years ago. Trump was at 46.8%, Obama was at 45.9%, and Eisenhower was at a whopping 73.2%.


This should not be a surprise since a quick summary look of Biden’s Presidency shows the following incredible level of incompetence:


  • Inflation reached a 40 year high early in his term and is currently running about 100% higher than what is considered a healthy inflation rate.

  • Everything costs significantly more than when he took office, be it gas, food, utilities, etc.

  • His immigration performance has been horrible with millions of illegal  immigrants flooding into the country and diverting billions and billions of dollars from the needs of taxpaying American citizens to feed, shelter, and medically care for these millions of illegal immigrants.

  • The failed immigration policies of Biden have  also made the drug cartels billions and billions of dollars in additional profits while flooding the country with cheap illegal drugs, a flood that will likely lead to more and more overdose deaths in the country.

  • His foreign policy performance has been abysmal, from the botched Afghanistan withdrawal to the failure to end the Ukrainian/Russian war to the  Middle East to Niger to North Korea, the list of failures overseas goes on and on.

  • Crime is rampaging tough liberal cities across the country while Biden's Justice Department focuses on ridiculously unimportant stuff like we just saw in Iowa.


The real question is not why is Biden’s approval rating so low but why does he have any approval rating at all, given his litany of failures.


That will  do it for today: Biden’s approval  levels continue to sink, Biden’s stupid/useless meddling in Iowa, the truth finally comes out about corrupt Georgia

 voting, and the Biden lie machine continues to work non-stop.
