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:

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
