What does President Biden really believe? What drives his policies? President Biden began his presidency as many other presidents-elect promising to unify a divided nation. Days after winning the election in November 2020 Biden said, "I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify; who doesn't see red states and blue states, only sees the United States.”
A scant 100 days after taking the oath of office Biden vowed to make racial equity the central focal point of his agenda according to a New York Times article April 24. Racial equity would guide elements of his response to the pandemic, selection of locations for new infrastructure, and how climate policies would be designed.
Biden’s first hallmark in foreign affairs came fewer than seven months later after he had told the Taliban in Afghanistan when he planned to remove our troops. When the fateful day came the Taliban had already captured Kabul and tens of thousands of Americans and Afghanis were scrambling to get through the gates hoping to escape. Biden’s promises to leave no one behind were empty. No plans had been made to meet that promise and tens of thousands have suffered atrocities ever since.
Former Secretary of the Defense Robert Gates had tried to warn voters before the election of Biden’s utter ineptitude in foreign affairs, writing Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
Last week at one of the nation’s premier Historically Black Universities and Colleges Howard University, Biden pledged to the new graduates he would “stand up against the poison of white supremacy, as I did in my inaugural address — to single it out as the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland.” What a unifying challenge to our best and brightest as they enter the work force!
The day Biden was sworn into office, the inflation rate stood at 1.4%. Almost immediately inflation began to creep up and every family in America saw prices of food, consumer goods, and necessities like gasoline eat into every nickel in their pocket books. All the experts in Biden’s administration declared this inflation was transitory even as the creep continued to rise.
By August of 2022 inflation had dipped slightly to 8.5%. Biden’s response to that news was the U.S. had “zero inflation” in July! Although inflation had dipped a bit, the rate was still barely below a four decade high. Then Biden gave the press a lesson in economics saying, “Here’s what that means: while the price of some things go up — went up last month, the price of other things went down by the same amount. The result? Zero inflation last month.”
The corporate media have tried to play nice with old “Uncle Joe.” Now that Biden is president his decisions and pronouncements are beginning to wear a bit thin on even the most virulent woke folks.
On top of these faux pas on Biden’s coat tails, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee has found some major financial scandals in the Biden family. Chairman James Comer (KY-R) said, “From a historical standpoint, we’ve never seen a presidential family receive these sums of money from adversaries around the world.” What’s this about the Biden family receiving millions from America’s adversaries like China?

If this ole dog is complaining , President Biden is doing the right things.
Over 80 million idiots voted for this idiot as their leader so they’re happy. No point in trying write articles about said idiot that we’ve all known the whole time. My liberal quote of the day: Not My President
Obama and Susan Rice assured Biden he would be an historically important pres if he went boldly leftwards, plus Obama said publicly he'd be happy to remotely control a puppet president.
People should have known what Joe was like from his past performances. I am another one of the NOT MY PRESIDENT group.
How are you guys going to deal with it for the next 5 years !
10:52You think he's going to live for five more years?
Suuuuuuuuure he will.
I let the dogs out...
Who let the jackals in?
Biden and the effects of his decisions will be with us for a given length of time. However, those that voted for him and their views of issues will be with us many, many years from now. And of the two, the latter is far more dangerous.
Agree with you on criticisms of Biden. If you think a Republican nomination of Donald Trump is the answer be prepared for another four years of Biden/ Harris.I would love DeSantis,Scott,etc. but will vote Democratic over Trump.
When you consistently have to vote for the lesser of two evils this is what you get from time to time.
May 21, 2023 at 12:29 AM, are we sure he's alive, now?
May 21, 2023 at 8:26 AM, you, may get what you want, but will you want what you get? If you can't understand that question, I better understand your post.
Abortion and Gun Control have already elected Biden Dead or Alive!
He knows exactly what he is doing and he is evil. So is the Democratic party.

"Biden Dead or Alive have already elected Abortion and Gun Control!"
Nope, it doesn't make sense that way either.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
8:26 I guess you are ok with open borders, inflation rising out of control, trans bs, and WW3. Ole Joe is ushering us into a nuclear war with Russia because of our interference with Ukraine war.
Most folks voting Democrat don’t have the intellectual capacity to understand the issues at hand. They are just voting for more gubmint benefits and less work, more marijuana, more student loan forgiveness, more stimulus, more abortions…that is why we are where we are in this country.
The folks voting democratic actually care for this country and their fellow man, get over it, the minority will not prevail! We the people have awoke and you folks have no idea! You want to label us as woke, you better wake because we are coming to the polls until we put you to sleep!
DL Gardner's fanbois discussing those who lack intellectual capacity with a total dunning-kruger enabled lack of self-awareness...lol
Perhaps a bigger problem that Joe Biden's cognitive deficiencies, is that the media is completely ignoring the fact that the President of the United States could likely not score 12 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment exam.
This matter should be a persistent question within the White House press conferences, yet it has never been raised.
When Christiane Amanpour recently stated that is the job of the media to be truthful but not neutral, she made a false claim on the first point and a false assumption on the second point.
“ Chairman James Comer (KY-R) said, “From a historical standpoint, we’ve never seen a presidential family receive these sums of money from adversaries around the world.” What’s this about the Biden family receiving millions from America’s adversaries like China?”
This is not even close to true. Trump and his family took billions from the Saudis and Russians. Does he not count Trump as a real president?
12:29 knows details that have escaped Adam Shiff, Nancy Pelosi, et al.
These never-Trumpers prefer for inflation to soar than to have the Orange Man back. Screw the poor, seniors, and working class. Keep Orange Man out!
