Biden is drowning in three disasters of his own making - Washington Examiner

Responding to the killing of three American soldiers by Iranian proxies this weekend, President Joe Biden's Secretary of StateAntony Blinken said the Middle East is now more volatile than at any moment since 1973.
At around the same time, Biden finally admitted that the southern border is in "crisis," just as his Department of Homeland Security announced 300,000 migrants were arrested for illegally crossing into the U.S. in December, a number dwarfing all previous records.
Again, at the same time, inflation ticked higher last month, as a record number of people find they cannot pay their rent and consumers owe more personal debt than ever before. Workers can't afford a home or a car, and their real wages are lower than when Biden took office.
There is upheaval, even chaos, at home and abroad.
Every one of these crises — Iranian aggression in the Middle East, chaos on our border, and higher prices at home — are all disasters created by Biden. His policies caused each, which is why, if anything, the president's 40% approval rating isn't low enough.
Biden is not the original architect of appeasement to Iranian aggression, an honor that goes to his former boss, President Barack Obama. But he followed through where Obama left off, undoing strict sanctions on Iranian oil sales in an attempt to appease the mullahs and revive Obama's Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal. In addition to this $30 billion in sanction relief, which Iran was free to spend on terrorism throughout the region, Biden also gave Iran $6 billion in previously frozen oil sales and a lopsided prisoner exchange.
Instead of choosing peace and stability, as Obama naively hoped, Iran has spread terrorism and has sent weapons, money, and training to Hezbollah in Jordan, Hamas in Israel, and Houthis in Yemen. Every one of those Iranian proxies is now actively fighting America and its allies. Biden funded and appeased them all.
His culpability on the Mexican border is even clearer. He ran for office on a pledge to reverse the previous administration's successful border policies and even told migrants around the world, "you should come." They did so. Biden immediately ended the "Remain in Mexico" program, suspending all deportations for 100 days after arriving in office, opening new loopholes to Title 42 border enforcement, and issuing a memo promising not to deport anyone whose only crime was illegally entering the country.
When illegal border crossings spiked, as they did instantly, Biden first tried to deny the problem, dismissing it as a seasonal surge. When reality made that talking point unsustainable, he blamed Republicans even though not one Republican voted for any of the executive actions Biden took to weaken border security.
On inflation, Biden can share blame with congressional Democrats who flooded the economy with trillions of dollars in deficit spending for favored constituencies, despite the fact that employment was already recovering as the government COVID shutdowns receded. Sky-high rents, unaffordable mortgage rates, record household debt, and lower real wages have been the direct result.
President Joe Biden's reelection campaign apparently intends to focus on scaring voters about what a second Trump presidential term might look like. That's to be expected. But look at what a second Biden term holds in store.
No fascism nonsense, no memes, no bitching about the source
Article is LOCKED by author/seeder
Wow. The naysayers are "Naying" yet again. Go figure. Well, that sentence above is about as far as I could read before the 'clutter' of negativism throughout cause me to come to a halt and loss of interest. Spice up the poison-pen with some 'sweetener' every once and a while so that the 'toxin' can be swallowed at the least - even if it is vomited up and put in the toilet or waste bin.
So you couldn't make it half way through the article. Did you not understand it?
I thought is was evidence of defending Trump.
As some here like to 'utter': SSDD.
And cause for censorship here on NT.
And thanks for providing the example.
Negativity? Hell, to some on the hard core liberal left, criticism of Biden it is outright heresy!
Since he took office:
Food costs up
Energy costs up
Mortgage rates up
Household debt up
Total crime is up
Illegal immigration is up
Etc, etc
About the only thing down is his job approval rating …..
Just bull, but it is what some here do faithfully. BTW, I think Trump did some things good like authorize the vaccine production. . . let's see if you can write something good about Biden's administration. Try it: . . .go slow. . . baby steps. . . .
They haven't packed the Supreme Court...... yet
The only people they’re really fooling is other useful idiots like themselves
"About the only thing down is his job approval rating....."
The comical thing is that what the White House neglects to mention is that major companies across the country are laying off thousands and thousands of employees and the so called uptick in employment is happening solely in large metropolitan and urban areas and not in rural and or isolated areas of the country.
Yet, outside the Fox News far rightwing bubble it is "Morning In America, Again!" We are leading the entire World post-Covid...
The American people don’t seem as enthralled with that spin as you do.
Oh well ….
Define: "American people."
Hard to take obtuse questions like that serious.
Don't take it serious, then. As it is clear, to me anyway, that you have a specific "American people" in mind. Therefore, I don't/won't take your comment serious.
Obviously American citizens that live in Norway
Isn’t Norway a white supremacist country?
Ah yes, the old PeeWee Herman “I know you are but what am I gambit”. So well played. Never seen better ……
According to some every country is a white superpremist country, even Nigeria

lol …. That’s the best you got?

Look at the tags:
The Washington Examiner did the same as what far left wing media like NYT and WaPo do: publish articles written by its Editorial Board , etc.

Facts are now bullshit in leftist land.
Must be from all the lies spewing from Brandon and his administration.

1) TRUMP announced the withdrawal from the Iranian deal during a speech at the White House on May 8, 2018 renewing tensions that reached new heights
2) Republicans Agonize Over Supporting Bipartisan Border Bill They'd Insisted On
RED BOX Rules parameters are determined by the individual seeding the article. Problems with that should probably be taken up with the RA.
Did you not say “no fascism”?
Otherwise, when Trump did it, no big deal, but if Biden does it for a more rational objective, you have a problem with it.
As for a current border bill, let me know if the Republicans kill it or pass it into law.
Actually, I made 3 points and could not viably rebut any of them, AND YOU VIOLATED YOUR OWN RED BOX RULE.
Lol
The amount of ego required to claim an illusory intellect superiority over another is usually psychologically problematic. You’d have better luck telling the cop that just stopped you for speeding, and you were speeding, that the ticket he is handing you is unacceptable. The narcissism involved for such a response is massive.
I laughed because your post was simply argumentative like that. It’s funny to me when people post things just to get in an argument. That is all you’ve done here. Nothing more.

When exactly was that.
Show your work and don't just post your feelings
Your post 6 said nothing of Trump doing anything in Afghanistan. You immediately mentioned fascism then went on a rant about when Trump did it.
I asked you, per your post, when did Trump say anything about fascism?
Try and post better and more coherent.
Emphatically.
Looks like Texan handled them quite easily and quickly. Did you not see them?
Regarding the RED BOX RULES hrerein:
"No fascism nonsense, no memes, no bitching about the source"
• "No fascism nonsense" - TRANSLATION: Nothing the author arbitrarily decides is fascism, so anything not commensurate with the author's point of view can be immediately charged as "in violation of a Red Box Rule
• "no bitching about the source" - Meaning of source credibility: "the degree to which people believe and trust what other people and organizations tell them about a particular point: The source credibility theory states that people are more likely to be persuaded when the source presents itself as credible."
The above rules are clear intents to restrict viable commentary that fails to meet arbitrary and clearly prejudicial "rules".
No,
There are a couple of posters whose comments call everything right of Che’ fascism, a group insult the moderators have decided is allowed.
The second Redbox rule is to limit those who lack the intelligence to dispute the facts to simply attack the source.
It appears a third rule needs to be added.
