Biden's None-Stop Self-Inflicted Crisis ... Her Is The List (For Now 52 points) (UPDATED)
One crisis after another and all of them are a rolling snowball down into the deep ... until he creates the biggest unrecoverable crisis, which will be his last as president, whatever that is ... and maybe for America too! The speed and number of global crises was maybe once or twice a year, but since the current president is in power, the number, variety, magnitude, and speed of recent national and global crises are unprecedented and they are all self-inflicted! Everything this president does, touches or starts ends up in disaster and the next crisis popup. From Kabul to Del Rio, Tex., the Biden presidency is reeling from one self-inflicted crisis to the next.
In many presidencies you could observe that they were confronted with a serious events or crisis triggered somewhere in the world, like the 9/11 terror attack. But this president is causing the major global crises totally by himself. It might be incompetence, his viciousness or both, but they all come from one source.
Biden doesn't have the ability to foresee events in advance and prevent them from happening. And in case such event, he's turning it into a crisis by itself! And if that's not bad enough, reflect on the fact that no one in his administration has suffered any consequences as a result of these abject failures.
The withdrawal from Afghanistan has been an example of chaos and incompetence in military leadership not seen in generations.
Upsetting America's (NATO) allies by not informing anyone about his sudden move to fly from Afghanistan.
Leaving behind billions of dollars costing military hardware.
His failure to evacuate American citizens from Afghanistan.
Biden’s team promised to “restore America’s credibility” following the supposed unpredictability of the Trump years. Instead they now look like a bunch of amateurs.
The drone strike that was characterized as "righteous" by General Mark Milley turned out, in reality, to have killed ten innocent civilians, including seven children.
The southern border is, in reality, no longer a border. Many thousands of migrants are camped under a bridge in U.S. territory.
Americans learned that the Biden administration was housing thousands of migrants who were in the United States illegally in squalid conditions under the Del Rio International Bridge in Texas, where the New York Times reported there being “dense crowds sleeping on dirt or milling about in triple-digit heat amid conditions of deteriorating sanitation”. And what did the president do after all these mistakes? He went to the beach.
Inflation is raging, and no one in the administration seems to have an idea of how to deal with it.
France has withdrawn its ambassador in anger over an Australian submarine contract in which France was snubbed (or 'stolen').
The COVID pandemic continues unabated, and Biden's response is to enact a forced mandate.
General Milley made phone calls to his Chinese counterpart in the last days of the Trump administration.
Biden rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, which could destroy anywhere between 400,000 and 2.7 million jobs.
On day one, Biden abandoned Keystone XL pipeline workers, forcing thousands into unemployment with the stroke of a pen. American workers and families effected by his job-killing decision are still struggling to get by.
Biden is proposing a job-destroying $2 trillion tax hike to fund a Green New Deal-style “infrastructure” package, which studies say would threaten 159,000 American jobs and lower workers’ wages.
Biden’s proposed tax hike would raise the combined tax rate on U.S. businesses to the highest of any country in the G7 or OECD.
According to reports, Biden is planning to propose even greater tax hikes, raising taxes on capital gains to over 43%.
Only 7% of the spending of Biden’s proposed “infrastructure” package is for roads, bridges, highways, airports, waterways, and ports.
His administration has lied about the job creation that’s possible under his infrastructure plan. Even CNN and The Washington Post called Biden out on misleading the American people on job predictions.
In terms of Biden’s broader Green New Deal agenda, The Washington Post and Associated Press have noted that many of Biden’s proposals will destroy more jobs than they create, and create jobs that pay less than the jobs they destroy.
Biden has caved to Democrat special interest groups at the expense of millions of children and families across America, even though the science shows that keeping schools closed has devastating effects on the mental health, social and economic situation, and academic achievement of children.
Thanks to Biden’s lies about a law that actually expands voting opportunities, Georgia’s Cobb County is set to lose more than $100 million in tourism revenue.
Biden is backing the Democrats’ H.R. 1 power grab that, among other things, eviscerates commonsense voter ID provisions that 75% of American support.
The Biden administration is one of the least transparent in history, continually ignoring questions from the press.
Bipartisan nonsense. Biden promised to be the president speaking to all people, all political fractions. He didn't.
Destroying America's energy independence. His aggressive effort to cripple America’s energy independence. In his early days of office, he recommitted America to the Paris Climate Accords, which restricts America while giving high-polluting countries such as China a pass.
Giving in to Iran. Desperate to salvage one of his former boss’s few achievements, Biden immediately sought to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal, which will not stop Iran from eventually developing nuclear weapons.
COVID-19 confusion. Biden is responsible for setting incredibly low goals for vaccine distribution, leading a completely confused vaccine messaging campaign at the federal level, and further polarizing the country over vaccines by consistently demonizing Republican governors who didn’t toe federal lines – even when Republican states were experiencing fewer COVID-19 deaths than states with Democratic governors with extreme restrictions and higher infection rates.
Betrayal at the southern border. Biden has allowed record numbers of people to illegally cross the border and stay in America during a global pandemic without any requirement that they be tested for COVID-19 or quarantined before going wherever they want.
Bankrupting America. Just when American jobs were beginning to be revived following the global pandemic, Biden has reinstituted regulations which make it harder to hire people and suggested an $8 trillion spending plan – including $1 trillion in non-infrastructure infrastructure projects and another $3.5 trillion in liberal pipedreams.
Democrats are fighting over what should go into Biden's $3.5 trillion bill that has zero chance of passage.
Defund the police movement. It’s no secret that far-left progressives are pulling the strings of Biden’s agenda. As a result, the radical and senseless “defund the police” movement has not only come to define the Democratic Party, but its civil unrest mantra has put our communities and law enforcement in danger.
Enormous rise in crime (30%)
Broken promises. During his inauguration, Biden promised that he would govern for all people. Instead, Biden has delivered the single most radical and divisive agenda in our nation’s history. He has not sought consensus in governing as promised but has been single-minded in pushing his partisan agenda.
Tax-and-spend-it-more agenda. Thanks to Biden’s nonstop tax-and-spend agenda, inflation is at its highest rate in 40 years. Now, nearly 9 in 10 people have reported a concern about the rising cost of living. High inflation is a disproportionate tax on the poor in this country, and big government spending only makes it worse.
Coronavirus: Biden campaigned on getting the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic under control, but it most certainly is not. Cases continue surging unexpectedly and unpredictably, in states where the media likes the governor as well as states where the media hates the governor.
The vaccination drive devolved into an ugly political and cultural battle. Vaccinated Americans were stunned to find themselves subjected to coronavirus restrictions again, despite Biden’s promises that getting the jab was the key to getting normal life back. The unvaccinated grow increasingly furious as they are treated as second-class citizens.
Poll-watchers will note that Biden’s failure to live up to his sales pitch on coronavirus control is alienating independent voters.
The American people increasingly distrust the government, and every other source of authority, including each other – a lack of faith clearly exacerbated by the seemingly endless coronavirus state of emergency, “scientific” declarations made with absolute certainty in one month and abandoned the next.
Ridiculous levels of hypocrisy from political elites who violate their own draconian coronavirus rules, and constantly shifting goalposts for the return to normal.
Eviction moratorium slapped down: One reason for growing public distrust is the accurate perception that opportunistic politicians are exploiting the endless pandemic for power and money grabs. One of the biggest was struck down by the Supreme Court, as it ruled 6-3 against the Biden administration’s moratorium on evictions from rental property. Joining the majority opinion was Joe Biden, who admitted at the outset that his order was probably unconstitutional.
Biden managed to do a lot of damage to small landlords before the Supreme Court stepped in and reminded everyone that the Centers for Disease Control does not, in fact, have the legal authority to seize control of every rental property in America. Contrary to the Democrat caricature of landlords as top-hatted, mustache-twirling robber barons who can’t wait to throw widows and orphans out into the snow, many rental property owners are struggling middle-class folks who can’t make ends meet if their tenants stop paying rent. Others are hypocritical socialist Democrat politicians who don’t think anyone else should be able to make money by renting property.
Gas prices: One of Biden’s first acts in office was killing the Keystone pipeline, wiping out thousands of American jobs and ensuring the U.S. would become more dependent on foreign oil. Seven months later, gas prices are spiking to seven-year highs ahead of Labor Day.
Biden was begging OPEC and Russia to pump more oil so gas prices would come down. His pleas were ignored by the cartels Biden had done so much to empower.
Biden gave Russian President Vladimir Putin the priceless gift of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in May. Last week, he apparently changed his mind and started dishing out pipeline-related sanctions again.
The Huawei cave: Biden decided to cap off a heck of a summer by inexplicably approving huge sales of automotive computer chips to Huawei, a Chinese spy agency that likes to make a little extra money on the side by selling smartphones, computers, and cars.
Flummoxed American automakers wondered why Biden would make sure Huawei has all the chips it needs while chip shortages force them to suspend production.
Politicizing major federal institutions.
Politicizing health care.
Using vaccines as a political weapon
