Democrats have ingested the most potent version of "Soma"—if it existed—because they think Joe Biden is not just managing well but could be the greatest president ever to occupy the office. Okay, maybe that's a stretch; that honor goes to Barack Obama within liberal circles. The reality is that most Americans see this nation as adrift. Inflation remains high. We're still in an economic recession, even if the Biden administration decided to pervert its meaning to make itself look better ahead of the 2022 midterms. They may be an incompetent bunch, but there's stability, which is why voters kept his party from being wiped out last election, despite not liking the Delaware Democrat's domestic agenda. The GOP proved to be a bit too rambunctious for some. And here we are in 2023, where everything is collapsing or fraying.
The only defense of their incompetence is to point to other administrations who allegedly did the same thing, like not being able to detect Chinese spy balloons entering US airspace. Once we shot that down off the coast of the Carolinas, the leaks came pouring, with allegations that such devices infiltrated US skies under Trump, but he never did anything about it. That's because no one told the former president, if this little tale is accurate, which is troubling since military and intelligence officials intentionally withheld national security information from their commander-in-chief. With Biden, they knew a balloon was coming but did nothing.
On top of that, trains are going off the rails literally, like in East Palestine, Ohio, where the town was virtually blown up. There are toxic chemicals everywhere, and it's great that we have this A-team of mental defectives, like Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who doesn't appear to be worried about these crises. The man who decided to go on paternity leave for what seemed like 18 months was a deer in the headlights when Southwest Airlines had to cancel thousands of flights over out-of-date software, something Mr. Pete was warned about months ago—around the time he vowed to improve air travel.
Where is a statement from @USDOT or @SecretaryPete regarding the train derailment and subsequent ecological disaster in East Palestine, Ohio?

Not only did he not do that, but planes almost crashed into each other. At JFK Airport earlier this year, we almost had an American-based "Tenerife" situation when two planes almost crashed into each other on the runway.
Biden's team doesn't know how to manage—and Biden has priorities ranging from minimal to "who cares" on the to-do list. Noncompete contracts for fast food restaurant workers aren't what's handicapping economic growth. These little green energy initiatives will wreck the economy; Democrats want to eliminate oil and gas from the scene.

And if we don't recognize or appreciate the "wins" supposedly clinched by this bumbling administration, we're either racist or too blind to see the accomplishments. We're not blind; there are none. There's economic stagnation, a crumbling infrastructure, ongoing war funding to Ukraine, and planes and trains crashing all over the place. And now, with the Chinese spy balloon circus, we're blasting anything close to US airspace; we don't even know what they are—but rest assured the White House, who doesn't know where to go from here on this matter, will figure it out.
Like Biden, every move, domestic and abroad, seems to be not just one or two septs behind but the equivalent of whole football fields, even among our allies. Republicans botched the 2022 midterms, maybe got a bit too overconfident about the political climate, which was ripe for a red wave, and put things into cruise control to our detriment. In 2024, we must act like we're being killed everywhere on the map, even in areas where no Democrats are running because it's so red. A persistent state of emergency should be the mindset, take no race for granted, and ditch the 2020 whining.
The nation is falling apart—we don't have time to dither, debate, and complain about things that aren't going to happen, like Joe Biden being removed and charged with voter fraud.
