Biden Is Off to a Disastrous Start

A border crisis, inflation, a distorted job market, a pipeline fiasco . . . yet Biden’s in denial either about the existence of these problems or his role in fixing them.

P
residents aren’t supreme beings imbued with the power to dictate economic conditions, pandemics, or international events. We give them far too much credit and blame for the vagaries of the world.

That said, there are some things that presidents do have power to influence. The location of MLB’s All-Star Game, for instance, is not Joe Biden’s bailiwick. This particular economic recovery is. The COVID downturn wasn’t an organic event precipitated by unforeseeable underlying economic factors. It was an event created by state lockdowns, coupled with widespread consumer fear. So, with lockdowns easing and vaccines entering arms, a vibrant economic bounce-back should …

  1. 148 retired generals & admirals just signed a letter that Biden is mentally incompetent & that the FBI should have looked into voter fraud in the 2020 election.

    1. I agree with you regarding the Obama thing. Yes Obama started the downward swirl of the US. He wanted to be a Dictator and Biden is following up on things.

  2. Senate Bill 1 wants anyone to be able to vote, illegal aliens, dead people, people not in the jurisdiction, etc. The Democrats passed this in the House. They don’t care how they get elected or how much damage they cause to this country. Contact your Senators to vote against it.

  3. Dipshit Demorrhoids don’t want solutions to the problems they create. They want more problems so they can create situations that need solving and thusly control the population!! If there are no problems to solve government has no control!!

    Should solutions be found Dipshit Demorrhoids would need to work (and we all know Dipshit Demorrhoids are averse to working) to create new problems that need solving. When solutions to problems are implemented Dipshit Demorrhoids would find themselves being irrelevant!!! They cannot have that now can they? .

    1. That may be true but same goes for the last President. In terms of race relations, he divided us more and did nothing to fix the problem. There were some things I liked and some things a did not. The same goes for this current Pres. Some good and some bad but if a group of people don’t feel equal then you have no country. We all need to act as one then we can solve the other issues. I have been a conservative and black for some time but to read these responses and see the N word used makes me think twice about what I am doing and feeling about a party and its followers that disrespect myself, family and others. I appreciate everyone but like MLK, Jackie Robinson, you have to demand respect and show that you can respect others. This is a good country with a lot of bad people so I will treat this as a one time thing. I hope not all conservatives act like the one mentioned earlier in my post. I do not like the violence (BLM, Jan 6 Folks) and it should stop and when it does who will stand up and peacefully fight for equality. But until we keep hearing people act as it is no big deal to be equal, this type of protest will not stop. I am will to fight for you, white, black, yellow and brown. Lets show the world we are better than what they think…..

      1. As a white… I could no agree with you more. I respect all people who respect me, my family, and my commitment to God and Country. I served in the Military, worked hard; and never used others as a stepping stone. I’ve worked alongside Asian, Black, Hispanic, European, LBGTB and most want to just live their life without all the division.

      2. I am going to disagree with the former President being responsible for race relation issues. The divide did not come from his actions for or against. The divide has been created with a narrative, an agenda. Every aspect of the former presidency was presented most negatively. No single accomplishment acknowledged. The lust for power has always been the driver. The black community for example.. always promises, never deliver. A solved problem loses votes. The former President made to work for every American. Understanding that, the media and the Jesse Jackson’s, Al Sharpton ‘s and now BLM (prominence realized during Obama era Ferguson), doubled down on crisis for blacks, their only vocation, enriching themselves for the cause. Never let the cause be success, we may have to find another job.

  4. Hey hey hey c’mon man be ‘fair’ – slow joe hit the ground stumbling and has managed to continue fumbling and bumbling his way along ever since. The only ones who don’t see that reality are him, his enablers and his true believers.

    1. I agree GomeznSA but I look at the whole picture. Jan 6 Trump and now. I’ll take now over terrorist.

  5. Trumpuplicans! I miss the Reagan days. Police officer is killed Jan 6 and there Rep act like that is not a big deal. Real shame.

    1. the poice officer died of natural causes at the capital, my guess -it only a guess from seeing lots of the other capital police,is he was upin age and overweight with underlying health conditions. that is a lot different from the swill that msm was telling everyone for months about being hit in head with a fire suppressor. it finaly came out natural causes.

      1. Correct Jay but still others harmed and or threatened during the nonsense and not one rep except Chaney and a few others paid respect to the fine officers trying to keep the piece. Just seems to me police are great when dealing with issues reps like and thrown to the side when it comes to how people feel about Trump. I agree with the comment above. Reagan is missed. Jay, you were dead on about MSNBC. They should have waited until the cause of death was related. However I feel they are more open to supporting the concerns of people of this country then Fox News. I don’t agree with rioting on either side but problems still exist and need to be corrected. MLK marched years ago. Why do we still have this issue. We are all the same. By the way, I am black and a strong conservative which I often get ridiculed about but I stand by my principles. I really feel what is happening now is a real shame. Chaney losses her position because she exercised her right as an American. Shameful!! I don’t have issue with people not liking whoever is in office but respect should be given because we no matter the party are all Americans. I have friends I met overseas from my Navy days and they all tell me sorry. Well, it’s not that bad I tell them. Biden said black families go to bed each nite after a day of fearing for their lives. Not true. I never fear, Never have. So many good people in the USA. Poor statement with intent of appeasing to BLM sympathizers. Makes us look all racist. However, there is just enough of the stupid idiots to cause problems for us all. There is so much contributions given to this nation by many diff races so we need to stop all this mess and get along. Left media, please stop acting like police officers are out to get us and right media, stop acting like you don’t care. The police are people just like us and deserve respect. Same goes for all people regardless of their skin tone. Thanks Jay for educating me on that matter.

    2. Ummm maybe get the facts straight. The ONLY death attributable to that day is ashli babit. Unarmed and shot pushing her way thru a broken window. The rest of the deaths that happened around the same time they have conveniently lumped in were all natural causes and 2 suicides. Easily verifiable information including the officer you mmentioned.
      It was also NOT an armed insurrection. Of the few hundred idiots they arrested not a SINGLE GUN was found. What they DID find was an abandoned van somewhere in DC within a couple miles that had a single handgun and materials that COULD be used for molotovs. That’s it. This was a protest that was actually peaceful until a couple hundred idiots out of an estimated 1.5 million decided to act dumb. Oddly enough none of them that did that had any real interest in the reasons others were there. If that was the case they would’ve done more than steal some stuff and take selfies. These were NOT indicative individuals of conservatives.
      Again all of this is the facts of the situation and easily verified.

    3. Get your story straight! There was no police officer KILLED Jan 6. There was however an unarmed woman shot for no reason by a Capitol police officer. A Capitol police officer died from medical causes but was not killed. People who post crap without knowledge annoy the hell out of me.

  6. It’s all the extraterrestrials fault man they wanted war they wanted hatred ,government ,bigotry, money called currency that controls influence . it all started with aliens and it will end with aliens .

    Man the aliens want us to see all the stuff we discovered within ourselves about ourselves and around ourselves is just a fear faction of illusion designed to stimulate human psyche threshold to see which culture of human beings can survive through all the worlds bull crap ,they want us to learn from are mistakes which is not to create currency ,nuclear power or use the worlds resource for ourselves ( which belong in the ground).

    now we got terrorist ,serial killers ,genocide masters, political liars ,gays ,lesbians ,transgender the isms such as racism ,the ethics of propaganda ,the critics , the holly wood brain washers of the liberal mentality ,hypocrites ,the nay sayers that yay say destruction and the yay sayers that idolize infidelity that nay say ideological peaceful belief structure. And the kids with guns is the new motto of the century . I don’t want to live in any planet like that

    we are violent carbon life form for a reason .so when they come down breed with us and rid the human and begin the new era ,I mean man something had to have sex with the Neanderthal when the Neanderthal Didn’t understand caveman control asked why should we be in control rather understand there is no control; just taking care of what we have now and there was something better out there than domination ,

    then it happened it banged a alien that looked like a cave girl and produce a so called developing human being that was intelligent but not intelligent enough to know the consequences of its rebellious like behavior for control.

    .except joe biden or barrack Obama generation. they where banged and still banged by dinosaurs I mean there dinosaur ways movements old socialism dinosaur ethics telling us not to eat red meat while they had behind white doors to teeth phuck a steak, touch kids un wanted areas and pray to satanic dinosaurs .

    I don’t know man maybe we should put our penises or Vaginas in the air like satellite beckons hope to god some aliens come down and bangs us again for a new type of species of humanoids ,because the human intelligence we do have man is just flatly out studied and stupefied of ignorance beyond memory . Even the monkeys are looking at us man and thinking how we became so ignorant to the ground we live on just for power.

    I mean repeating the same situation expecting different results is just insanely ignorant ,the government the history the sociology repeating same principals and motives expecting different results in every generation is just becoming old puddle of oatmeal discovered by Manipulated technology the aliens sent us anyways. As beautiful as the world seems it’s getting god like boring and sad just to find any purposeful event that benefits any resolution to human evolution. Humans suck especially the humans in government.

  7. You don’t demand respect, you earn it… until you earn it, you are just another pissed off, window breakin, building burnin, choosin to be a victim, domestic terrorist. Regardless of race or color. When the whiners realize it’s not about race/color but about attitude, mindset, and and motivation, they may make some progress. Until then,….good luck. Socialism will NOT ruin this Country and you will NOT shove it down our throats. You can take that to the bank.
