After two years of the Biden administration, our nation and the world are “unsettled” as Vice President Kamala Harris mentioned at her commencement address at West Point. What she didn’t mention was the swirling chaos is the result of Biden administration policy and incompetence. Memorial Day is always a time for reflection, and all we are facing reminds us of the work ahead to make sure the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many for our great country was not made in vain.
Reminding us of what we owe those who serve and give all, while speaking at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Memorial Day 1984, President Reagan said, “We may not know his name, but we know his courage. He is the heart, the spirit, and the soul of America.”
That was thirty-nine years ago. We’ve known for a while what a difference real leadership makes. Upon releasing their 2022 Reagan National Defense Survey last November, they note, “Every year, the Reagan Institute asks about Americans’ level of trust and confidence in a variety of public institutions. Just five years ago, 70% said they had a great deal of trust and confidence in the military. However, that percentage steadily declined, and last year, for the first time, a minority of Americans had the highest level of confidence in the military, only 45%…” The top response why this is the case is that military leadership has become overly politicized, with over half also saying “performance and competence of the military’s civilian leadership” adds to their distrust.
Moreover, with military recruitment far below our goals, the survey found a shocking collapse of interest by young people in serving our nation. Of those 18 to 29 years-old, only 7 percent were “very willing” to serve and 6 percent “extremely willing.” 25 percent were “somewhat willing.” In all honesty, after the Afghanistan catastrophe leading to the deaths of 13 of our service members, one can understand why young people aren’t so keen to serve with Biden as a Commander-in-Chief who called the disaster “messy” and is now stonewalling a probe into the fiasco.
The shocking incompetence of the Afghanistan withdrawal was not a bug but a feature of the Biden administration’s incompetence and carelessness. We have been suffering under these fools for so long Americans are now unifying in their disgust for what Biden is doing to the country.
Most Americans are fed up with soaring inflation and violent crime, uncontrolled illegal immigration, fentanyl and other opioids killing over 150 Americans a day, wasteful federal spending, extremist environmental policies, and radicals indoctrinating children with anti-American and transgender propaganda.
So it should come as no surprise that a new CNN poll finds 66% of Americans believe the reelection of stumbling, mumbling and bumbling President Joe Biden would be either a “disaster” or a “setback” for the United States.
The same poll showed that Biden has only a 35% approval rating among the American people. That’s just one point higher than the approval rating of President Jimmy Carter at the end of his disastrous one-term presidency.
And if all this wasn’t bad enough news for Biden, an ABC News-Washington Post poll in early May found that 68% of Americans believe the 80-year-old president is too old to serve another term. By contrast, just 44% of Americans believe the 76-year-old far more vigorous Trump is too old for the job.
Consider Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., who turns 90 in June. While I disagree with her politically, she was a talented and effective elected official until recent years, when she became noticeably impaired intellectually, according to numerous news reports.
Sadly, Feinstein was hospitalized with shingles in February and then stricken with encephalitis — an inflammation of the brain that can cause memory loss. A poll of California voters published recently by the Los Angeles Times found that “nearly two-thirds of registered voters said her illness shows she is no longer fit to serve.”
Being president carries a lot more responsibilities than being a U.S. senator. If the president is not functioning at 100% our country suffers. Most alarming of all, should Biden have to resign because of ill health or not live through a second term, Vice President Kamala Harris would become president.
Harris made history as the first female, Black and Asian American vice president. But she was born into those demographic categories, so you can’t count her gender and ethnicity as accomplishments.
Harris’s campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination collapsed in 2019 before any votes were cast, her accomplishments in all the offices she has held are paper-thin, and many of her remarks in public consist of nonsensical word salads interrupted by out-of-place cackling laughter.
Biden pulled the wool over the eyes of the American people in the 2020 campaign, hiding in his basement and pretending he was a moderate and a unifier. But once in office, he turned out to be the most radical president in American history — a captive of the woke progressives who have seized control of the Democratic Party.
Despite his low approval ratings, Biden is going unchallenged by what some consider serious competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination, or at least that’s how Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is being portrayed. The denigration of Kennedy, who is capturing “a sizeable chunk” of Democratic voters, is likely rooted in Democratic Party leadership remembering Sen. Ted Kennedy’s challenge of President Jimmy Carter in 1980 contributed to Reagan’s victory over Carter. To protect Biden from any challengers the Democratic Party is even refusing to hold presidential primary debates.
The 2024 presidential election is 18 months away, so it’s much too early to predict how it will turn out. But it’s clear that our national interest would be better served if Biden withdrew his candidacy and let Democrats nominate someone more capable of leading our nation. Unfortunately, he’s made clear that he has no intention of bowing out. Or shall I say his handlers aren’t bowing out.
The good news is the American people have had enough and the establishment in Washington, DC will be reminded through the 2024 elections who the sovereign really is.
Term Limits for Congress. This would eliminate SOME of the ROTTEN corrupted that serve their personal interest instead of the peasants that give them their vote. Our vote should be FOR the politician on the ballot but instead (it seems) as of late, we are voting against the opposition. It shouldn’t be this way but we have slim pickins in many cases. There’s no one answer, but a good start would be term limits.. it certainly wouldn’t hurt.
You give Joe Buyden far too much credit. I do not believe that the man is incompetent — I believe that his INTENT is the destruction of the United States of America. And in that, he has been amazingly successful. I question whether one president can do as much damage to this country as Joe has done through well-meaning but incompetent action. The Democrap Party has been attempting to divide Americans for decades, and Buyden has taken up that cudgel with pleasure and avarice.
Term limits are a must. Look at all the democrats that have been in politics for 45-50 Years. They aren’t there for the American citizens. They are there for Power and Control with their Corruption SELLING OUT the United States of America using our tax dollars against us and constantly Attacking our U.S. Constitutional Rights every day.
Yet, people keep putting these same CRIMINALS in office cause they keep believing their lies.
While at the same time they are too stupid to realize that they are losing their rights too.
As for Dictator Beijing biden’s approval rating it’s been sitting at 37% for quite awhile (FAKE news polls) which we ALL know is NOT that high. Reality is more like 20% approval rating.
Let’s even lower it for reality…(FAKE news and Local news won’t report this truth since it blows their lies out of the water) The Amish DIDN’T comply with the Illegal and Unconstitutional Mask and Vaccine Mandates and they had 30x’s LOWER cases and deaths showing that Dictator Beijing biden not only violated the law (Mask mandate had to be put forth to the American people to decide whether they wanted to wear Masks or NOT) and the U.S. Constitution but he and the CDC constantly lied for POWER and CONTROL.
Also Dictator Beijing biden, CDC, democrats, and FAKE news lied saying the Amish people will have high death rates that NEVER happened. Just like those of us that didn’t get vaccinated and are Naturally Immune didn’t catch the China Virus. Yet, Dictator Beijing biden called us murderers when he was the one actually committing murder along with the CDC, democrats, and FAKE news.
Amazing how all the vast cases and deaths were people that were fully vaccinated.
Even the CDC just admitted that most of their staff that caught China Virus were Fully Vaccinated.
Biden is just a figure head for the lamestream Democratic Parties Puppet Masters, he is nothing more than a fake President, a “Moran in Chief”, unfortunately indicating that elections have consequences! The American electorate must immediately become aware that the Democrats do not have America’s best interest at heart, they have gone to the dark side and are far from redeemable. If lying was a virtue, they would all be going to heaven!!! But as I see it, they will be going somewhere else not as comfortable. 2024 cannot come soon enough! Go Trump!!
It’s easy to say that history is repeating itself as we watch Joe Biden continue to push the anti-American policies of the Obama Presidency except the history isn’t being taught in schools anymore. But Biden has upped the ante with his over the top corruption and indebtedness to foreign countries like China and Russia to name a few. As a Veteran I am appalled at what this administration is doing to our military with their idiotic trans policies and political correctness. The last election was a fraud by any measure. The country was prospering under Donald Trump despite the constant diversions of false stories and allegations made against him. He was a politicians nightmare in that he actually solved problems that politicians of both parties just couldn’t fix. No one I know voted for higher taxes, more government regulations, taking us from being energy independent back to energy dependent and having radicals teach our children about anti-American and transgender propaganda. The debacle in Afghanistan should have triggered an immediate impeachment of Biden for incompetence. Let the deep pockets of the radical DNC faithful pay the American taxpayer back for the $80 billion of state of the art military equipment Biden abandoned. The Democrat Party is dead. It is now a Socialist/Communist Political Party that has weaponized our FBI and Justice Dept. to go after and intimidate honest, hard working Americans who dare to challenge the radical left. We need a real fiscal policy and a total moratorium on all immigration until Congress can work out a sensible immigration policy. We also need Mandatory Term Limits for Congress right NOW!
Has been bad since swearing in to date
But hey!! Biden has been so awesome in funding Nazis in Ukraine with over 100 billion dollars of tax money the citizens had no say in.Oh..the Ukraine government has also been beating and arresting priests and burning churches and jailing journalists….
How can that be called incompetent?
I am thankful that I am 80 years old, however the way this country, I fear for my children and grandchildren. We need a another Great Awakening and I hope and pray it comes soon.
We need a multitude of funerals to clean out the incompetent, the evil, the Communists, those whose goal it is to destroy the U.S.A.!
biden & his bed buddy obama have all but destroyed a once great well respected Country. Trump was a breath of fresh air and he gave us hope yet the lies, corruption, the corrupt FBI, CIA , and media are the modern Downfall. It’s almost as though Stalin and Mao are alive calling the shots. Here they prosecute President Trump with BS charges and definitely planned to do it during the campaign. I think it will push Trump to the top but watch these
Evil,lying democrats try to pull strings to stop Trump again. Next big lie and corrupt move we need 60,000 not 6,000 at the Whitehouse. 1776
void of civics in schools, embracing open borders, conciliating our foundational truths, and blatantly giving citizenship to people who comes in just to have their babies regardless of status, etc., etc., are damaging policies coming from all walks of influences. However, I have been perplexed that Americans do not see the ills inflicted by both parties only serving their thirst for power and wealth.
At some point outrage will boil over.
By any measure, Joe Biden has so far not met even the minimum expectations for the highest office in our government-quite the contrary, his efforts have been counter productive for our nation.
Pervert, criminal, and a moron. A special place in hell awaits him.
As a Veteran I am so ashamed of the state of OUR NATION!!! My TOTAL lack of faith in this administration and the policies they have implemented to cater to the woke socialist agenda in the total destruction of America. The reckless squandering of money on unattainable projects, destruction of our economy, undermining energy self sufficiency, and weak leadership should be condemned. This hasn’t happened overnight but been years in the process. Do to the undermining of THE CONSTITUTION and BII OF RIGHTS by the Democrats in Congress and the Senate over the past 4 decades by the Socialist agenda, promoted by Liberal leaders and the media. A TOTAL REVERSAL needs to occur to PUT AMERICA ???????? AND LEGAL AMERICAN RESIDENTS FIRST!!!
In my previous post I did not put the “?” question marks in my post.
Excellent article!!! Captures conservative views perfectly!!!
Polls have little meaning until election day. Biden along with his incompetent administration is close to completing the decimation which Obama had started. Biden is living proof that you don’t have to be a competent leader or even cognizant, just in power.
I am not a fan of Biden but as an independent voter living in a swing state of GA, I will vote for him over Trump any day of the week come 2024. And I am not alone in that sentiment. And I voted for Trump in the 2020 election. But in the aftermath of that election, and leading into the J6, Trumps behavior showed me that he is not worthy of holding the Office ever again.
I understand that among Republican voters Trump still remains popular but if you want a decent chance to win, you gotta come up with somebody who is not as tainted as Trump. Well, you may certainly nominate Trump, and dislike my posts zillion times, but in 18 months don’t be surprised when Trump loses – again. This time it will be worse than 2020. This is not a negotiation. I will not change my mind of Trump. And neither will millions of Independent voters. And we will show up and vote – you can count on it!
It isn’t Brandon that won’t withdraw it is Dr Jill and the handlers around him. Or should I say the money people, Soros, Gates et al that are bringing this country down. They have too much invested to give up now.
Look around how many shootings and beatings went on this past Memorial Day. Even our marines were beaten by a mob of young people. Just following orders from the man in the White House. There is so much anger among the young against the right white. Why is that? The leadership of Brandon and the ultra left brainwashing and gaslighting these kids. That’s why. So much anger in this country which the left needs to destroy America from within.
1 out of every 3 people approve of Biden’s performance. That’s still a lot of people that don’t have a clue what is going on. Don’t these people put gas in their cars or buy groceries or pay utility bills? They have to be Trump haters who will never admit how good things were going when Trump was President.
I think Larry Mace below is right because that goes along with acting like a petulant child, which is how a certain 1930s German frequently acted. I think the entire national leadership of the Democratic party is anti-American, and your local Democrats are too stupid to see it. I heard people over the weekend commenting that a second Biden term wouldn’t be all that bad. I wanted to break a face or two because they act like they know more than I do. Some barely made it out of high school. I started reading history at the age of nine, which was 67 years ago, and became interested in politics 2 or 3 years later and studied poli sci in college. They don’t know squat about economics, either. Some are relatives, and I feel like not discussing anything with them. I’m losing faith in the average American. I live in the state that turned the U.S. Senate into a stroke recovery ward and elected a DEAD guy to the state legislature. I’m too poor to move.
