In a recent column, we charged resident Joe Biden's leftist energy policies and pathetically weak leadership with undermining America's economy and financing Russia's genocide in Ukraine. But the damage wrought by this president is not limited to Ukraine, pain at the pump or flaccid foreign affairs. All the policies of this hapless tool of the left are destroying the America we love and serve.
Since day one of his presidency, Biden and his socialist puppet masters have tried to deflect blame from themselves to others for major problems they created for the American people. Their latest scapegoat is Vladimir Putin. The Russian war criminal can be blamed for much, but not the domestic crises afflicting We the People of the United States. Biden's weasel-worded attempts to hide his ineptitude deceive no one. Americans paying historically high prices for food, fuel and other essentials while enduring empty retail store shelves aren't fooled by political spin in Biden's teleprompter.
To demonstrate how bad things have become under this career politician masquerading as president, we offer factual comparisons in two key areas: national sovereignty and our economy. These comparisons show where things stood when Biden became president and where they stand now.
By definition, a sovereign nation has authority over its territory and borders. Biden surrendered America's national sovereignty on his first day in office when he dismantled policies and programs his predecessor put in place to regain control of our southern border lost during the 0bama-Biden administration.
Biden shut down constructing a border barrier, stopped U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement professionals from doing their duty and eliminated an agreement with Mexico's president to keep cross-border immigrants in Mexico until they completed U.S. asylum applications. Now, Biden wants Title 42, a law protecting Americans from COVID-19 infection from immigrants, to lapse.
In December 2020, Donald Trump's last month in office, there were 62,041 illegal immigrant encounters on our southern border. In Biden's first month in office, this arose to 75,316. In his first full year in office, illegal immigrant encounters at our southern border exceeded 2 million. The numbers continue to rise. Thanks to Biden's open border policies, our once sovereign nation is now overrun by drug cartels, sex traffickers, violent criminals and illegal immigrants from almost every country on earth.
Despite COVID-19, Biden inherited American economic growth and employment unprecedented in our lifetimes. He could have left well enough alone and allowed our economy to continue growing, but his socialist handlers had other plots and plans. These included eliminating fossil fuels, canceling student loan debt, funding his enormously expensive infrastructure program with nothing to do with infrastructure, paying citizens to refuse the dignity of work through his deceptive American Rescue Plan and "Build Back Better" program promising to rebuild what didn't need to be rebuilt.
Biden's socialist economic policies are crushing hardworking, middle-income Americans, our nation's majority demographic. In 2020, the last year of the previous administration, inflation was just 1.23% and falling. Since Biden took office, inflation has risen to over 8% and climbing, the worst inflation rate since 1982. Americans paid $2.37 per gallon for gasoline on Biden's first day in office. We now pay more than $4.00 per gallon in most states and as much as $7.00 in some places.
Biden's socialist policies are making home ownership impossible for millions of Americans. In 2020, before Biden took office, the average price of a home in the U.S. was $391,900. Now, the same house costs $453,700. Prices continue to rise.
Worse still, the explosion in violent crime means we are all less safe here at home than at any point in our lifetimes. More on this travesty in a future column.
Well, that is the plan after all
Ollie & Dave are just figuring it out.
Its going to get a lot worse. The economy and the dollars could possibly collapse to where the Chines Yuan will become the World’s Reserve Currency and the food supply will collapse cause extensive hunger worldwide.
Yep. They are merely stating the obvious that many of us saw coming when he was elected. We learned from what the Obama regime did. And really, isn’t this just the third term of the Obama regime?
I fully expect them to go into full “scorched earth”* mode before the mid-terms.
*That is, go into “either we win, or we destroy the country trying.”
“And really, isn’t this just the third term of the Obama regime?”
That’s sure as heck what I believe
I remember a Clinton presidency would be the end of the USA..
No wait it was a second CLinton term.
Then is was an Obama presidency what would be the end of the USA.
No wait, it was a second Obama term..
And still here we are...amazing.
I confess that there was, for my, a modest upside to the Obama regime: It gave me a feel for what it may feel like to many people (think black people in the southeast in the 50’s) when the government seems to be fighting you and trying to push you down at every turn. Which is why the Trump years were a breath of fresh air. I got a good gulp of it before we slipped below the surface again...
Correction: ..the 0BAMA regime HAS wrecked America..
..and they’re still at it..
No they didn't? Puppet biden and the biden administration just appear to be calling the shots. biden is too stupid to do this much harm. What needs to be discovered is who is putting the words on the teleprompter for the resident to read and who is writing the EO's that the puppet signs? It is more sinister that America is failing than biden simply being an inept fool.
“Whereof what’s past is prologue; what to come, In yours and my discharge.”.
I believe we will be in a position to write and right the future very soon.
Thanks Ollie but there is nothing in the article we don’t already know. When is any democrat going to be held to account? Their “leaders” even lie under oath and nothing ever comes from it.
obama was all about punishing white Americans...you can take that to the bank.
If a few blacks or other races got caught up as collateral damage that was OK also.
This has been the democrat plan since 1865.
I think your memory is faulty. I lived through those times, too. Carter did visibly more to destroy the country than those you name. It was amazing that we survived that.
Agreed.
“What needs to be discovered is who is putting the words on the teleprompter for the resident to read and who is writing the EO’s that the puppet signs?”
Most likely, it’s Ron Klain, his CoS. But WHO’s pulling his strings, is another question. Seems whomever it is, is well-insulated from easy discovery, by having a phalanx of people in front of him.
I’d bet Soros is in the mix, way in the back and well-concealed from view.
We may be here but is this still America the land of opportunity, of individual freedom, of strive for your dreams or are we EU light?
Carter was a disaster. Not intentionally, probably. He just had not clue as to what he was doing.
Biden also has no clue as to what he is doing. Everybody with a nutty cause or plan gets the okay from him, and that's why things are such a mess.
History is going to look at the other two more as time servers, grifters, and front men. They didn't go as far as Biden. The country was different back then. They were more focused on one thing (health care) or a few things. They lost Congress early on. And they wanted to get reelected. Biden is too far gone to figure anything out on his own or to make shrewd judgements or cunning plans.
This:
America the land of opportunity, of individual freedom, of strive for your dreams
