Hot Mess
The current Biden Administration looks to be astonishingly unsuccessful and disorganized, sixty-plus days into their governance, in a number of foreign and domestic matters. One hot mess after another. Yet there is largely an absences of media curiosity or commentary on this evident ineptitude. The southern border, the Chinese, the pandemic, gun control, and massive spending plans, the regime has involved itself in, are sources of interest but the media seems more obsessed with Prince Harry, the recently fired editor of Teen Vogue, or what cartoon character is currently offensive.
By any stretch of the imagination, the southern border of the United States is a chaotic mess. A massive understatement to say the least. There’s a good reason that the regime has banned press access and issued gag orders for border agents. The conditions caused by this seemingly endless invasion are reported to be the worst in history. When Biden, operating like a game show host, blurted out during his campaign, “come on down” and subsequently won the election, a scene reminiscent of an old west land rush unfolded.
Monday, when Vice President Kamala Harris was asked by reporters if she plans to visit the border, she cackled and said, “Not today”. Not surprisingly, she revealed her potential to be a gaffe machine like her benefactor, and her handlers must have quietly moaned at that disingenuous response. Incredibly, she got picked to be Vice President despite being shredded by Tulsi Gabbard during the Democratic primary debates. Once again, she has failed to wow or charm or offer a solution to anyone.
Press Secretary Jen Psaki has assured everyone that the nation’s two top executives and their staffs are working on a solution. Right, let’s circle back on that assurance Jen.
Looks like the gang that couldn’t shoot straight has taken over the State Department. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was blinking when his Chinese counterpart, Yang Jiech excoriated the United States as a hot mess of racial unrest, after Blinken scolded him and state councilor Wang Yi on their country’s human rights record. Yang fired back “there are many problems within the United States regarding human rights, which is admitted by the US itself.” These issues, Yang said, were “deep-seated…they did not just emerge over the past four years, such as Black Lives Matter.” Blinken looked like a 5th grader who just got swatted by Sister Mary Catherine’s ruler. Bone headed start to the new Administration’s diplomacy, at the least.
The pandemic is abating in spite of Doctor Fauci’s continued quackery regarding surges, masks, herd immunity, and reinfections even if vaccinated. He’d make a great circus contortionist given the many positions he’s had over the last year. Maybe he’ll retire soon. Not soon enough for a lot of Americans.
Recent gun tragedies in Atlanta and Boulder have increased the call for gun control. Once again there is a complete disregard for the facts. The nut in Georgia thought he was cleansing world of prostitution and sex trafficking with his handgun. He confessed that to the police, but the media wanted to push the hate crime aspect of the incident as the majority of the victims were Asians. The miscreant who killed 10 Americans in a Colorado supermarket already had a history of law enforcement encounters. His own brother said he had mental “issues”. Considered this, when President Kennedy was assassinated, nobody blamed the gun.
Senator Ted Cruz is on the right track when it comes to gun control. He said “Let’s target the bad guys, the felons, the fugitives, those with mental disease. Let’s put them in jail. Let’s stop them from getting guns. Let’s not scapegoat innocent, law-abiding citizens and let’s not target their Constitution.” Yet Biden’s immediate reaction is to ban “assault” weapons, never mentioning the obvious mental health issues resident in every mass murderer.
Wise up Joe and listen to what Senator John Kennedy said on the issue. “In my judgement, we don’t need more gun control, we need more idiot control.” Someone tell the President that stricter gun laws don’t prevent crazy humans from killing others. Look no further than Chicago.
The President seems to think that the solution to the majority of the nation’s ills is massive “nanny state like” spending. Even after the 1.9 trillion dollar “Covid Relief” bill passed, Joe wants to spend 3 trillion dollars on infrastructure. A closer examination of what has leaked out reveals a bill that addresses health care, the Green New Deal and other Democrat special interests and constituencies. If you want to crank up the economy how about opening every restaurant, small business and school in America? Why? Because Joe, we can’t afford your Bernie Saunders socialist approach to the economy.
The President needs to pay attention to common sense, in touch legislators and not the puppet masters working his teleprompter. Nothing wrong with listening to the moderate/conservative members of your party instead of the zealous progressives whose Marxist ideas will damage the nation, perhaps beyond repair.
After all, Joe, nobody wants to be known as the President of a Hot Mess.
