Come On, Man!: The Truth About Joe Biden's Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Presidency

by Joe Concha

So here we have Biden and Pelosi insisting that increased government spending decreases the national debt, while the CBO says it will add $3 trillion. Who do you believe here? I recommend trusting the answer that aligns with, y’know, common sense and math.

The reason for our insane spike in inflation in 2022 is government spending, of course, which ballooned in Biden’s first year. Build Back Better was dead in the water, but other spending packages did pass in Biden’s first year: $1.9 trillion in “COVID relief” in March 2021 (which is on top of the $2.3 trillion signed into law by President Trump when the pandemic hit in early 2020) and another $1 trillion for the bipartisan infrastructure package. Add it all up and the U.S. had injected $5.2 trillion into the system.

Biden should have known this would happen. As he’s so fond of boasting, he’s been in the political game for a long time. But if you think Joe Biden is going to take any responsibility for any of this, think again.

Hmmm . . . who do we blame this time? Biden and his handlers must have been thinking. Manchin? Sinema? Trump? Naaaah. Let’s go full Rocky IV! Enter Vladimir Putin.

“Today’s inflation report is a reminder that Americans’ budgets are being stretched by price increases and families are starting to feel the impacts of Putin’s price hike,” Biden said after the Department of Labor reported a 7.9 percent rise in consumer prices for February 2022, putting inflation at its ...

Yes, inflation is Putin’s fault. Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and inflation and gas prices just shot up suddenly in the United States, right? Before that, everything was effing hunky-dory. Except even the left isn’t buying this, including those who once worked in the Obama-Biden administration.

“This is Biden’s inflation and he needs to own it.”

As gas prices hit an all-time high in March, the president was asked about where prices were headed. “They’re going to go up,” he responded. When asked about solutions, he offered this response: “Can’t do much right now. Russia is responsible.”

No sane soul believes this, of course. Seventy percent of voters in an ABC News poll taken at the time disapproved of Biden’s handling of inflation and gas prices, whic...

When we look back on the Biden presidency, the comparisons to Jimmy Carter are impossible to avoid.

In blue states, folks are fed up. According to the Census Bureau, eighteen different states, including the District of Columbia, saw their populations drop from June 2020 to July 2021. The biggest decreases occurred (not surprisingly) in New York, which lost more than 310,000 people; California, which saw more than 260,000 flee; and Illinois, which experienced a drop of more than 110,000.

Meanwhile, the red state of Texas gained about 310,000 new residents and Florida put out the welcome mat for more than 210,000. Why not? Warmer weather. No state income taxes. Far fewer COVID restrictions. What’s there not to love?

The friends I speak to specifically, at least as it pertains to New York City, all said the same thing when they left: The COVID restrictions, especially on their kids in school, were too much.

2022 survey from United Van Lines showed that, besides Florida and Texas, the top inbound states that folks migrated to the previous year were Vermont, South Dakota, South Carolina, and West Virginia. In a related story, all those states have Republican governors.

They claimed that these were first-world problems, something so insignificant that they shrink to mere inconveniences in light of how much worse things could be.

Yep, the inflation and supply chain crises are “high class problems.” Because only the top 1 percent drive cars and purchase gasoline, correct? Only the rich buy meat, eggs, fish, and poultry. Only the fat cats heat their homes.

“Ah, the tragedy of the treadmill that’s delayed,” Psaki responded with the usual condescension. No, not just treadmills, Jen. Try food and medicine and medical supplies and auto and machine parts. Oh, and baby formula. If looking for the perfect way to sum up the Biden presidency on the messaging front, here you go!

In a related story, we’re governed by children. Of course, demand is up because people have more cash.

So who better to solve the gas crisis, right? Because cars run on gas! It makes one believe that Hunter Biden may have been more qualified for energy secretary, given all that experience with Burisma in Ukraine and riding Amtrak and all . . .

What better way to do that than to attack a Fox News correspondent on a personal level? “Do you think inflation is a political liability going into the midterms?” Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked in early 2022. “No, it’s a great asset,” Biden muttered sarcastically in response. “More inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch.”

Hey! It’s that time in the book where we play our favorite game: What if Trump said that?

Joe Biden. Jimmy Carter. The similarities are striking. Inflation. Gas prices. An unstable world with the U.S. looking increasingly weak to our adversaries.

In a related story, she’s also a professional liar despite all this effusive praise, yet rarely got dinged by the press the way Trump’s press secretaries did.

At one press briefing in March 2021, she insisted that the U.S. southern border was “closed.” Someone should ask the more than 2.1 million migrants who entered the country illegally in Biden’s first year if that’s the case, or perhaps the drug cartels pushing deadly fentanyl into the country and killing a record number of Americans could also weigh in on that claim.

When asked again why so many migrants were entering the country so easily, Psaki went back to the 2020 campaign playbook: When in doubt, even for problems this administration has...

To state the obvious, it was Biden who stopped all construction on the border wall. It was Biden who ended the Trump’s administration’s Remain in Mexico policy, by which “asylum seekers arriving at ports of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border will be returned to Mexico to wait for the duration of their U.S. immigration proceeding,” according to the Latin America Working Group. It was Biden who tapped an uninterested and inept Kamala Harris to handle the border catastrophe, which has only gotten worse under her watch as the number of illegal border crossings continues to rise.

Psaki also said on August 24, 2021, that the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan couldn’t be called “anything but a success,” despite the obvious and accurate comparisons to the chaotic withdrawal from Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975.

Psaki also claimed on August 23, 2021, that it was “irresponsible to say ‘Americans are stranded’ [in Afghanistan]. They are not.” No, they were. Nearly two hundred Americans, a...

Psaki once claimed that it was Republicans who supported defunding the police, which promptly earned her three Pin...

To be fair, she had a tough job spinning the Biden administration’s la...

Actually, it’s the complete truth: When looking at the crime numbers on a macro level, FBI data shows that murders hit a twenty-five-year high in 2021, while sixteen cities hit homicide records last year.

Really. Disgrace doesn’t begin to describe it. It’s plain that this tragedy didn’t merit notice for the Biden administration because there was nothing to exploit politically.

And you know what else is jettisoned from Planet Psaki?

You’ll love this response regarding a question from Fox’s Peter Doocy of why migrants crossing over the border aren’t being asked about proof ...

On what planet are migrants traveling hundreds of miles by foot . . . to enter this country illegally . . . perhaps risking their lives in some cases . . . only to turn around and leave after a short period of time? This ain’t a trip to Disney.

Even if you somehow buy Psaki’s answer—and you’d have to be either insane or insanely drunk to do so—does COVID stay away from those who only stay here for a few weeks? How does that work exactly?

One would think she would be asked about why she’s exempt from the rule here, but it never happens. If it’s a Republican like Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), however, then suddenly the press is petrified for its own safety.

“Just once, I’d like to see a reporter say to Joe Biden when he stands at the damn podium in the White House without a mask, ‘Mr. President, why aren’t you wearing a mask?’” Cruz said. “Just once, I’d like to see you say to Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, when she stands at the podium with no mask, ‘Ms. Psaki, why don’t you have a mask?’ The questions are only directed at one side, and I got to say that the American people see the hypocrisy.”

So if you’re keeping score at home, the press secretary didn’t want to allow parents the option of masking their kids, and instead believes it’s the role of the government to make that decision.

But please stop insulting everyone’s intelligence by saying Biden takes questions nearly every day. It’s an invalid truth if there ever was one.

She won’t be paid to report the news, but rather to spin it in a way that serves up red meat to its core audience of Democrats/liberals/anti-Trumpers.

So again, she’s lying. Also, by mocking Doocy as someone who needs his questions written for him, she shows just how unprofessional and condescending she actually is.

Jean-Pierre could be considered the most unsteady, unprepared person to ever serve as White House press secretary in the history of the position. She reads many of her answers to questions directly off notecards, sometimes for paragraphs at a time. And those answers occasionally aren’t related to the question asked.

But Jean-Pierre checked off several boxes when it came to race and sexual orientation, so she got the job over an infinitely more worthy John Kirby, who served as Pentagon spokesperson at the time.

One person who probably wishes she was joining Psaki at the Peacock is Kamala Harris. Because the way things are going for the vice president, any other job with a celebrity aspect would likely be welcome right about now.

So the country could breathe easier again because Team Trump was out and the experienced professionals were taking the wheel. Order would be restored, and normalcy would rule once again. But who were these adults, exactly?

You read that right. Domino’s Pizza had to intervene here on behalf of South Bend residents to help address an issue Mayor Pete was having difficulty with.

Overall, South Bend is a city with just eighteen bus routes and sixty buses. It has one train station and one airport that would never be confused with O’Hare. So who better to run Transportation, which consists of 58,000 employees and a budget of $87 billion, than Mayor Pothole himself?

But this wasn’t your ordinary paternity leave. Because when leaving a major cabinet post for something as important and crucial as the Department of Transportation, especially during a supply chain crisis, one would think that 1) an acting secretary would be named, and 2) Buttigieg might want to let the American public know that he’d be out for (checks notes) two months.

So, if you’re keeping score at home, the energy secretary of the United States didn’t know how many barrels of oil the U.S. consumes on a daily basis (answer: 18 million). One must wonder what experience Granholm had to get this important job in the first place.
