Joe Biden's administration is AWOL

When it comes to fixing problems or adjusting to changing conditions, Joe Biden's administration isn't quick-footed. Actually, that's understatement. The latest examples are the Norfolk Southern derailment and the shooting down of the China spy balloon. Those aren't the only examples of the Biden administration's sluggishness. They're just the most recent.

What's different this time is that Democrats are criticizing Biden's administration's response to the derailment and the Chinese spy balloon. For instance, Sen. Manchin, (D-WVA), is upset. Sen. Manchin said "he's pleased EPA Administrator Michael Regan visited the site on Thursday" before saying it isn't "acceptable that it took two weeks for a senior administration official to show up." That's being a little gentle for my liking. Biden has touted himself as an environmentalist. The derailment in East Palestine, OH happened on Feb. 3. The EPA administrator visited on Feb. 16. If Biden is a bigtime environmentalist, why didn't he mention the derailment in his SOTU Address?

Why didn't he say that he's putting Michael Regan in charge of cleaning up the Ohio River and the streams and making sure that the ground water is safe for drinking both in the short- and long-term. Why didn't Biden use the SOTU to announce that he's putting Transportation Secretary Buttigieg in charge of putting together a list of railroads in disrepair. Have Secretary Buttigieg compile the list with the sections of railroads in the worst shape at the top down through the 'top 50.'

Let's not forget that Biden told us that inflation would be temporary in July of 2021. On July 15, 2022, Fox Business wrote that we'd had "13 straight months of high inflation since the Biden administration dismissed concerns about rising costs and said the contributing factors were 'transitory.'" This quote should live in infamy:

"We have in recent months seen some inflation, and we — at least on a year-over-year basis — will continue, I believe through the rest of the year, to see higher inflation rates, maybe around 3 percent," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said about in inflation in early June 2021. "But I personally believe that this represents transitory factors."
She must've meant 3% squared, which is 9%. That 'transitory' inflation rate that would top out at 3% is still with us 2 years later. Now inflation has come down to 6.4% instead of topping off at 3%.

Let's not forget our southern border, which Secretary Mayorkas insisted was closed:
"I think clearly, these figures show that what we are doing along our southwest border, what the current administration has done, that that’s not working," Guest said, asking Mayorkas if he stands by his previous statements that the situation at the border is under control. Mayorkas defended his previous statements and later during the hearing confirmed his belief that the border is "secure."
That's after this reporting:
Border officials have apprehended more than 1.5 million illegal immigrants at the southern border through the 2021 fiscal year — more than the population of at least 10 states, a congressman noted Wednesday in a hearing over the spiraling crisis.
During FY2022, almost 2,400,000 border apprehensions were recorded. This year is on pace to top FY2022 by a significant amount.

Whether it's dealing with inflation, train derailments, illegal immigration or Chinese spy balloons, the Biden administration has failed. They're simply worthless at making life better for the American people. Finally, there's this:

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...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
