Joe Biden, aka Jimmy Carter 2.0

While it isn't right to compare Joe Biden's mishandling of the pullout of Afghanistan with Jimmy Carter's Operation Eagle Claw, Biden's fiasco is a major national security mistake. Kevin McCarthy's criticism of the Afghanistan operation is totally justified.

Joe Biden is quickly morphing into Jimmy Carter 2.0. It's difficult, if not impossible, to name a single accomplishment that's made people's lives better. Before Afghanistan, most people would've said that inflation is the thing that Biden and Carter most had in common. Now, though, it's difficult to not compare Biden's military blunders with Carter's infamous military blunder.

Leader McCarthy ripped into Biden for Biden's incompetence. Ditto with Sen. Mitch McConnell:

"The White House has no discernable plan other than pleading with the Taliban," McCarthy said in a statement late Friday. "The bungled withdrawal, reminiscent of his failed withdrawal from Iraq, is an embarrassment to our nation."
"President Biden must continue to provide the close air support necessary for the Afghan government to protect themselves from the Taliban and make sure al Qaeda and ISIS do not gain a foothold due to the Biden administration’s disastrous policies," the top House Republican said. 
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., offered stronger language than McCarthy in his statement after talking to Raz on Friday, saying the U.S. military should "hammer" the Taliban with airstrikes. 
"It is not too late to prevent the Taliban from overrunning Kabul," McConnell said Friday. "The Administration should move quickly to hammer Taliban advances with airstrikes, provide critical support to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) defending the capital, and prevent the seemingly imminent fall of the city."

 Joe Biden has been part of 2 of the United States' biggest foreign policy mistakes in Afghanistan (thus far) and Benghazi. It isn't surprising that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that Biden "has been wrong" on every major foreign policy decision in the past 40 years.

Gen. Jack Keane is furious with Biden for Biden's timeline for pulling our troops out during the Taliban's peak fighting time:

Biden is a blithering idiot. Frankly, he should be run out of DC immmediately. This is the US's biggest national security setback since the botched Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961 and Jimmy Carter's attempt to free the Iranian hostages.

With inflation rising, things are bad enough. Then add in the fact that the southern border is wide open. After that, factor in that countries like China, Russia and Iran are laughing at us and our allies distrusting us and you've got the recipe for the worst administration since the 1800s.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
