Joe Biden's irrelevant denial

On Wednesday, I wrote this post to talk about the Strategic National Stockpile, aka SNS. The SNS "is part of the federal medical response infrastructure and can supplement medical countermeasures needed by states, tribal nations, territories and the largest metropolitan areas during public health emergencies." I learned that the SNS "team works every day to prepare and respond to emergencies, support state and local preparedness activities, and ensure availability of critical medical assets to protect the health of Americans."

In short, the Biden administration didn't replenish the SNS in a timely fashion. That means that they failed miserably. They didn't "prepare and respond to emergencies, support state and local preparedness activities, and ensure availability of critical medical assets to protect the health of Americans." That's their mission. If they did nothing else in life, they had an affirmative responsibility to stockpile "medical assets."

Despite that, the Biden administration is making a phony argument:

White House reporters confronted President Biden about a Vanity Fair piece that alleged his administration rejected a plan to boost holiday testing from COVID-testing experts.

"We didn't reject it," Biden told New York Post reporter Steven Nelson before departing the White House for Marine One on Monday.

Whether they did or didn't is irrelevant. As I said before, this administration had an affirmative responsibility to keep the supplies in stock. In the midst of a pandemic, this administration should've been on an even higher alert. This thinking is disturbing:

Then Biden said this:
Yet Biden also made an admission about his handling of rapid tests in a call with several U.S. governors on Monday morning, saying, "It is not enough. It’s clearly not enough. If I had - we - had known, we would have gone harder, quicker, if we could have."
Biden is tap-dancing his way through a difficult spot there. He's been caught and he knows it. At minimum, his staff knows that they've been caught.

This is a big deal. Without testing, COVID might not get detected quickly. Potentially, that's a problem. Further, this administration needs new priorities. Since there's a shortage of tests, there's a need to ration them to those most at risk.

This administration gets a failing grade on COVID. We're no closer to the pandemic's end but we're suffering through lots of ineffective mandates. Joe Biden and Tony Fauci keep ignoring therapeutics, natural immunity and anti-virals. They're focused solely on vaccines. It's time to move past these idiots. It's time to start listening to actual experts.

Finally, it's time to start preparing the way for someone with actual managerial experience to be this nation's CEO/president. 4 more years of these idiots isn't sustainable.

BONUS QUESTION #1: Where has the HHS Secretary been in all this?

BONUS QUESTION #2: Who is the HHS Secretary?

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

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
