Biden Leadership In America Today

[GURPS]

Just six months later, the Congressional Budget Office had stuck a pin into Biden’s budget balloon. On Sept. 11, CBO wrote in its August Monthly Budget Review: “the deficit is on track to double from $1.0 trillion in 2022 to $2.0 trillion in 2023.”  So much for “delivering on his commitment to fiscal responsibility.”

Looking back, the administration’s braggadocio of six months ago seems the height of cynicism. The president’s estimators and spokespeople had to have known this was coming — that the evidence of fiscal failure was on the way, even as they raised a fanfare. It was tantamount to an obese person putting one foot on the scale and claiming to have lost weight. Yet when you know what a full measure will mean, you claim your victories whenever and however you can concoct them.

Biden’s abysmal deficit record is the result of his astronomical spending. It is even more remarkable in light of the enormous growth in federal revenues since 2020 — thanks in large part to Republicans’ pro-growth tax reform in 2017.

White House Lauds Its 'Fiscal Responsibility' As Deficit Explodes

As the White House credits Biden for keeping his commitment to 'fiscal responsibility,' the federal deficit will rise to $2 trillion in 2023.

Did Biden’s Policy To Isolate Israel Lead To Hamas’ Deadly Attack?​

It was no accident that Hamas used a “Festival for Peace” concert near Gaza as an offensive on the very existence of the multi-ethnic, democratic state of Israel. Those attending no doubt thought their good intentions and good wishes for peace would be a shield against such atrocities.

Sadly, terrorists saw this as vulnerability, and took advantage. But it wasn’t just the concert that tempted them.

No, it was weakness among the political left in Israel, which seems to believe that calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “fascist” and craven acquiescence to terrorists will buy peace, and also among leaders in Europe, who somehow imagine that terrorist groups in the West Bank and Gaza are the moral equivalents of Israel.

Then there’s the U.S., perhaps worst of all.

President Joe Biden’s administration has been pathetically obeisant toward both the regimes that support terrorism, in particular Iran, and toward Hamas and other terrorist groups.

In this case, Hamas sized up its opposition, like any bully, and saw only spinelessness and stupidity. So it acted with help from others in the region, including and especially Iran.

We’ll see plenty of candlelight vigils and prayers for the dead and the dozens of people (including possibly some Americans) now held hostage by terrorists who think nothing of torturing or murdering other human beings in support of their own hateful, extreme beliefs.

But let’s remember one thing: Our government has encouraged this.

Just look at the U.S. State Department’s pathetic, morally equivalent response: “We urged all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”

Really? As more than one commentator has noted, this is Israel’s Pearl Harbor, its 9/11. Israel has just declared war, and rightly so. And Israel has no choice but to wage war, since its very existence depends on ending the threat. Imagine if the U.S. had done nothing after Pearl Harbor or 9/11.

Make no mistake. Those who perpetrated these war crimes see us as cowards. Watching in recent years as our military rolled out woke DEI programs, as we abandoned our allies in Afghanistan to the terrorist Taliban, and as our president appeased terrorist nations and groups with billions of dollars in aid, what should they have to fear from us? More money?

Another question: After our inglorious exit from Afghanistan, did some of the massive number of arms used in the Hamas attack come from the billions of dollars of weapons left behind when we departed that tragic country, which is now in the hands of the terrorist Taliban?

For those who thought Biden’s “deal” to give $6 billion back to Iran in exchange for a handful of hostages was a nothingburger or even a good idea, guess what? Terrorists learned from this that we have a very low pain threshold, and will act accordingly.

More on Disastrous Biden Interview: Scott Pelley Has to Help Him Finish Sentence, Says President 'Tired'​

Biden had his 10 a.m. daily briefing and a 4:30 meeting where he just had to sit and listen to CEOs, how is that busy? Maybe it's "busy" for an 80-year-old who has so many issues. But that's why he shouldn't even be there.

Biden seemed completely at sea throughout the interview, and so old.

Pelley asked if he could foresee U.S. troops involved in the Israeli war. Notice his answer: it wasn't "no."

Biden FAA Pushing Diversity Hiring As Air Traffic Control System Falls Into Total Disarray​

President Joe Biden’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is striving to enlist a diverse workforce through targeting certain demographics even as its air traffic control system is facing shortages and safety challenges.

The FAA has several diversity hiring initiatives, including for black people, Hispanic people, disabled people and women, according to its website. At the same time, air traffic control is experiencing numerous issues including staffing shortages, mistakes, technological challenges and close call incidents.

“We’re certainly critical of the FAA’s efforts—in the past and in the present—to rely on race as a factor in hiring air traffic controllers,” Mountain States Legal Foundation General Counsel William Trachman told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Obviously we are talking about a line of work where merit and the need for skill are a matter of life and death. No one cares about the race of the air traffic controller guiding in their flight.”

Democrat Scandals Predating Biden


There is also no shortage of Democrat sex scandals predating the Biden administration.

In December 2020, Axios revealed that an alleged Chinese Communist Party spy named Fang Fang had targeted Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) — getting so close that she was able to place interns in his office. Swalwell has never addressed allegations that his relationship with the alleged Chinese spy was sexual.

In March 2020, former Democrat Florida governor candidate Andrew Gillum was found inebriated in a Miami Beach hotel room with a man who had overdosed. Police found three bags of drugs suspected to be crystal meth. Photos of Gillum later emerged, showing Gillum lying in his own vomit on the floor. He later said he was bisexual.

In 2019, Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA) was revealed to have been engaging in a “throuple” with her then-husband and a former female staffer. Numerous photos of Hill emerged, including one of her nude and brushing her former staffer’s hair. Hill resigned amid the controversy.

Other famous Democrats embroiled in scandal include former Rep. Anthony Weiner, who was busted for sending women sexually suggestive photos of himself in underwear, and embattled Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), who has faced allegations of not paying prostitutes and patronizing underage prostitutes.

New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned in 2008 after it was revealed that he had patronized a prostitution ring, and former President Bill Clinton was impeached after his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky was revealed in 1998 after Clinton was sued by Paula Jones, a former Arkansas state employee, in 1997.

14 House Democrats Vote To Denounce Biden Admin’s ‘Open-Borders Policies’​

In addition to denouncing the policies, the resolution condemned the “national security and public safety crisis along the southwest border” and urged President Joe Biden to “end his administration’s open-borders policies.”

Among the 14 who broke ranks was Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), a former Tennessee Titans linebacker and Obama administration official who is taking on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the 2024 election. The others were Reps. Yadira Caraveo (D-CO), Angie Craig (D-MN), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Donald Davis (D-NC), Jared Golden (D-ME), Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), Greg Landsman (D-OH), Susie Lee (D-NV), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Wiley Nickel (D-NC), Mary Peltola (D-AK), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), and Eric Sorensen (D-IL).

“Most of us understand that nations need borders, those borders should be secured, and we should enforce the immigration laws on the books. Most of us also understand that those seeking entry to our country deserve an orderly and predictable immigration process. Right now we have problems on both fronts,” Golden said in a statement.

“Illegal immigration threatens our national security and undermines American jobs,” he added. “It’s time for Congress and the Biden administration to come together and pass legislation to meaningfully address issues at the border. It should be a top priority in Washington, just like it is in most of America.”

White House Is Back to Shaming Members of Congress for Taking PPP Loans​

It was back in 2022 when the White House settled on a way to push back against Republican members of Congress who opposed his (illegal) plan to forgive student loans. The White House started tweeting the amounts of PPP loans taken out by members of Congress who opposed student loan forgiveness.

As plenty pointed out at the time, Paycheck Protection Program loans were meant to allow businesses that were shut down by the government due to the COVID-19 lockdowns to continue to pay their employees. They had nothing to do with voluntarily taking out a loan to attend college.

President Joe Biden is back to bragging about how the Supreme Court tried to stop him from unilaterally canceling student debt: "That didn't stop us," he told a crowd in Wisconsin, vowing to continue defying the Supreme Court and buying more votes by forgiving student debt. "Your loans will be completely forgiven regardless of income, and even if you didn't graduate," Vice President Kamala Harris announced Tuesday.

Naturally, Republicans are pushing back against this unconstitutional buying of votes. But if they do, the White House is back to naming and shaming those who took out PPP loans during the pandemic to keep from going bankrupt. Small business owner Rep. Andrew Clyde had this to say:
