President Joe Biden’s time within the White Home is gracefully coming to an finish. He’s now formally a lame duck and has six months to go.
Biden was the sufferer right here of a corrupt Democratic machine (together with a complicit media) that thought it may pull off election-year fraud regardless of Biden’s failing cognitive talents. The institution and a loyal media satisfied thousands and thousands of major voters that he was of sound thoughts and able to serve one other 4 years. This lust for energy has put America at risk. How can they be so patriotic?
So the place will Biden stand within the historical past books? He was not a failed president due to his waning cognitive talents. It was his insurance policies that destroyed America.
From his first day within the Oval Workplace, he has dominated from the far left on the whole lot from local weather change to radical earnings redistribution to huge authorities growth to racist politics to a “blame America first” international coverage to turning each company of presidency into his harmful weapon, the I.R.S. From the State Division to the FBI to the Justice Division and probably the Secret Service. He made Richard Nixon seem like an beginner.
It is onerous to level to a single precept that he acquired proper. He was disastrously dangerous at economics. The trillions of {dollars} he borrowed purchased nothing. He despatched inflation to its highest degree in practically 40 years. Throughout his tenure the typical family misplaced $2,000 in earnings after inflation. Take a look at scores dropped. Extra folks died of COVID-19 throughout his presidency than former President Donald Trump — regardless of the supply of a vaccine.
Rates of interest have elevated. House possession has turn into a pipe dream for the youth. Householders confronted mortgage funds that doubled. Biden declared warfare on American energy. He returned America to the corrupt Paris local weather accord. The remainder of the world has used extra fossil fuels than ever earlier than. He has performed into the fingers of our enemies China and Iran by blocking US oil and gasoline manufacturing and pipelines.
Fuel costs have elevated. Small enterprise confidence is down. Two-thirds of People constantly instructed pollsters that the financial system was “honest” or “poor.” Poverty charge has elevated.
Even the one statistic that Biden boasts about — job creation — is a mirage. A lot of the jobs had been authorities or healthcare jobs. With the federal government borrowing $2 trillion a 12 months, there isn’t any purpose for the federal government to rent extra staff.
Then there was sheer incompetence. The botched Afghanistan withdrawal was a nationwide safety catastrophe. The border turned a damaged dam, with practically 10 million illegals flowing into the nation. The federal government spent $7 billion to develop electrical autos, and just a few had been constructed.
Biden has given billions of {dollars} to an unlawful and unethical pupil mortgage forgiveness program. He has put regulators in command of key corporations despite the fact that — or as a result of — they hate enterprise Lower than 10% of his recruits had enterprise expertise. It confirmed.
He tried to cross mandates that will pressure People to surrender their gasoline automobiles, gasoline stoves and different home equipment.
When he leaves the White Home in January, he’ll go away the nation poorer, weaker, extra divided, extra in debt, extra weak and fewer revered when he enters workplace.
This can be a man who promised to unite the nation and did the precise reverse. He deserves to go down in historical past as one of many 5 worst presidents of the twentieth and twenty first centuries.
Here is my listing, beginning with the worst:
1. Woodrow Wilson
2. Herbert Hoover
3. Jimmy Carter
4. Joe Biden
5. Barack Obama
Now Democrats need to run Vice President Kamala Harris, who has sided with each Biden coverage and oversaw the worst border debacle in fashionable historical past.
Simply if you thought issues could not get any worse.
