America is being attacked on all fronts and Joe Biden is AWOL. Where is he? We’re getting rolled by China. We’re getting mocked by Russia. Iran is firing missiles at the US consulate in Iraq. On the domestic front, we have rising gas prices and inflation that’s killing America’s working class. The media once again this week tried to gin up outrage about the January 6 riot. No one cares, guys. No one. No one cares about a little riot when they can’t pay for groceries or buy gas. 

Our chaotic exit from Afghanistan was the starter. The rest has been a buffet of abject failure from a worthless and powerless president who fails to grasp his duties. Joe, it’s a problem when the office of the American presidency cannot dictate or control events. Are we in decline? It’s a question I’ve always thought was overblown…until now.

It's also an old question. It’s nothing new. When things go wrong, it’s asked. When Jimmy Carter was bumbling his way through his first and only term—thank God—the question was asked, especially after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan and the humiliating failure of Operation Eagle Claw in Iran. That began to turn when the 1980 Winter Olympics rolled around and we saw an underdog American hockey team beat what was thought to be an invincible Soviet team—the miracle on ice.

Is that happening now? The 2022 Winter Olympics are over. They were underwhelming; no one watched it. Liberal America continues to peddle COVID panic, which is peppered with self-righteousness about masks and condescending lectures about vaccines. Oh, and let’s not forget their tantrums now that Democrats have decided to toss COVID protocols into the trash. No masks, no vaccine passports. It’s done. To take one’s mask off is now viewed as ableist. I’m a proud ableist then. 

There is no corner that we’re turning that should bring any good news, any hope of sparking the nation toward unity. We’re too divided because we share this country with a bunch of snobby cowards called liberals who now openly admit that if a Russian-style land invasion ever occurred here, they’d cut and run. They’d surrender. The Quinnipiac poll that did the survey found that 52 percent of Democrats would just surrender. 

No wonder why China and Russia are flexing their muscles. They see we don’t have the moral strength or the perseverance to unite and fight. You can’t with these “woke” freaks wanting to make every toddler trans. You can’t when half the country buys hook, line, and sinker the fraudulent historical project called 1619 and critical race theory. The cancer is within—and the left is enabling it if not outright causing it. 

I’d never thought I’d see the day when nations would outright refuse to answer the call of the president of the United States. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates did that. They did, however, take calls from Vladimir Putin. The Polish government was ready to send their MiGs to Ukraine while we said it wasn’t the best of moves, “untenable” I believe was the term. This comes despite Secretary of State Antony Blinken, whose been bent over and smacked by China like a little schoolgirl, gave the “green light” for the decision. 

None of Biden’s people can get their talking points right, which has created a mess. What the Poles did was show the world and the US that everyone has contingency plans because they can’t rely on us, not with Biden in office. Kamala Harris? Are you joking? Did you see the word salad she offered on this whole mess, and then laugh at the Ukrainian refugee crisis which is the worst the continent has seen since World War II? Yeah, it’s beyond embarrassing. No one is in control. We’re stuck on autopilot in a depressurized plane that’s losing altitude fast.

And even though we have the natural gas, oil, and coal deposits to make us energy independent, Biden took a hatchet to these industries. Gas prices began to spike when the Keystone Pipeline was shut down. Now, we’re begging Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and maybe Iran for more oil. Yes, Iran—a state-sponsor of terrorism—is being asked to pump more oil, instead of us using our own energy, so that Joe Biden doesn’t have to face the wrath of the Green left. It's pathetic. Everyone knows that this arrangement funds terrorism, right? Oh, and we’re working on a new nuclear deal with Iran, with the Russians as intermediaries, and the former just launched a missile attack against us in Iraq.

Are we the only people home? Does Joe even know what’s going on? Is King Nothing, because that’s what Joe’s presidency is at this point, even operating at a capacity that would qualify as executive function? 

I used to think that American decline was overblown. Now, I see nations making backup plans for their interests, especially on security, since Joe is half braindead. No relief at the store. No relief at the gas pump. Supply chain issues still plaguing the country. We have a southern border that’s beyond porous. And we’re about to enter a recession. It’s going to happen. Joe can’t create jobs or formulate much of anything resembling a foreign policy. And Nancy Pelosi thinks that massive amounts of government spending have no bearing on the inflation spike and Putin caused gas prices to explode. 

Guys, if this is the brain trust, we’re cooked. Forget decline—total collapse is possible with this clown car running the show.
