Watch Larry's most recent "Week in Review" video.
Fifty years ago, Robert De Niro starred in a comedy crime film based on the life of a real gangster who just couldn't get things done. Critics called it a "tasteless mess" and the lead actress "terrible" – probably a reflection of the overall film still seen on Turner Classic Movies.
For the past three years, I've warned with other "watchmen on the wall"
that Joe Biden was not up to the task of the most powerful position on the planet and would be a disaster in the Oval Office doing the dirty work of the Democratic progressive radicals trying to transform America into a secular, socialist country.
Loving this great nation established upon Judeo-Christian foundations that have made us the envy of the world and brought us untold blessings for almost 250 years, it's time to write "Ichabod" over this man and his administration. They are the modern equivalent of the "gang that couldn't shoot straight" and are harming our nation in innumerable ways.
Survey just 10 of probably 50 reasons that should prove my point. If you missed my last commentary, "A draft of Joe Biden's letter apologizing to America," I encourage you to read it and see if you don't agree. The brutal reality is that in over 18 months he's not had one policy achievement while bringing untold misery to millions of Americans.
Biden on the ropes
1. Entering office he pledged with lofty rhetoric to unify us but divided us in a way not seen since the Civil War era. Most recently going to Buffalo, where a far left hater of conservatives and Fox News killed 12 people, Joe engaged in dangerous demagoguery calling our "body politic poisoned by white supremacists." Propaganda and patently untrue!
2. $163 billion of our taxpayer federal pandemic aid has been lost to fraud (Labor Department) because of Joe Biden's incompetent oversight and lack of proper accountability.
3. Our southern border crisis escalates daily endangering our national security as 2,000,000 illegal immigrants, drug traffickers, criminals, sexual predators, kidnappers, prisoners and terrorists (43 on our "watchlist") poured into this country, promised free medical care by Mr. Biden. The cartels supply gangs with fentanyl, resulting in 107,000 deaths in 2021 and skyrocketing gang-related violent crime in our cities. Mr. Biden has never even gone to the border.
4. As a professing Christian/Catholic, Joe Biden has hypocritically and aggressively championed the most radical abortion position in U.S. history, celebrating the extermination of unborn babies (follow the science: hearts beat at 5 weeks), so that at any time, for any reason up until the moment of birth developing infants can be killed. "Every child of God has the right to abortion," Joe proudly declares.
5. Inflation, gas prices, interest rates, goods and services, stock market, national debt, savings accounts, 401(k)s, supply chains (baby formula!), our entire economy… all are shaking violently while Biden blames the Virus and Vlad, seemingly clueless as to the severity of what's happening and worsening. Like the Carter years, this was preventable as we were prospering during the past administration with 1.4% inflation and gas prices averaging $2.56. From Day 1 Biden capitulated to Green New Deal zealots, stopped the XL Pipeline and instituted regulations on the energy industry, causing disastrous consequences.
6. Contrary to his military advisers, Joe's reckless withdrawal from Afghanistan remains one of the low points in our history because of this unmitigated disaster on the world stage. Our state-of-the-art airbase and $80 billion of sophisticated equipment were handed to a gleeful Taliban (now reconstituting with ISIS) – people now recruiting, training and arming those committed to destroying the "infidels" of America.
7. Biden elevated Black Lives Matter, bringing its leaders, con artists collecting over $90 million from the Floyd tragedy, to the White House. Marxist, lesbian leader Patrice Cullors' tax returns show purchases of multiple mansions and multiple millions shelled out to her child's baby daddy, her brother and a board member, in addition to money for private jet trips. She recently was confronted at her lavish headquarters/residence crying about Candace Owen's "harassment" as she mentioned prayer and references to God as one now being "threatened." Cullors had a security detail, although her organization calls for defunding the police!
8. "A man is known by the company he keeps," so consider Biden's picks: Kamala (unqualified embarrassment); Mayorkas, homeland security secretary (confused incompetent); Buttigieg, transportation secretary (MIA in airline's mess); Jean-Pierre, press secretary (long-standing race-baiter); Disinformation board director Jankowicz (resigned after three weeks for past coverups); Levine, assistant health secretary (a man now a trans "woman").
9. Pressure reveals the person, and during the "COVID Crisis" instead of inspiring Biden alienated masses, angrily pushing vax and mask mandates repeatedly overturned by the courts; stubbornly refused to give any credit to his predecessor for producing the vaccine at warp speed; and misled citizens, categorically stating, "What that means is today a case of COVID-19 for a fully vaccinated and boosted person will most likely mean no symptoms … you're protected from hospitalization and from death!" [December 2021] The data now shows the error of what Joe declared.
10. On his first anniversary in office, a buoyant Biden read his teleprompter about a prospering America. That very day an unbiased nationwide poll on Politico revealed a vastly different assessment and an almost 80-year-old man in a state of denial: 37% graded his performance "F" and 12% "D." Nearly six months later his approval rating is near Nixon's when he resigned, and only a scant percentage of diehards and Trump haters believe this obviously cognitively deficient elder politician has us on a right track. Biden's response, "I don't believe in polls."
Here's the deal: There are so many more reasons for Biden's catastrophic collapse. In 18 months he has no accomplishments whatsoever. All his initiatives have failed
("Build Back Better," "Voter Rights Act," "Equality Act," ending the filibuster, eliminating the "Return to Mexico" policy) along with his aggressive leftist agenda and ongoing entitlement giveaways in spite of a $30 trillion national debt!
"The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight" was comedy, but what we're enduring under Biden is criminal. The Democratic Party needs a total makeover. May the expected bloodbath in the midterms jolt them so they don't merely flip it off as "an off year" but rather a time for a total reset to unite with us to remake America.
