How did Mr. Biden become a prisoner of his own paradoxes? Perhaps he knew that he was not physically or cognitively up to running a real campaign. But he ran all the same.

"We're eight months into this pandemic, and Donald Trump still doesn't have a plan to get this virus under control.
I do.

"Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as President of the United States of America."
-Joe Biden, 2020
President Biden may not recall what he said during a 2020 campaign debate last fall, but Americans should: “Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as President of the United States of America.”
At the time the U.S. had recorded 220,000 Covid deaths. Covid deaths this year have now surpassed the toll in 2020 with 350,000 since Inauguration Day.

"If there's American citizens left, we're gonna stay to get them all out."
-Joe Biden, August 19, 2021
Aug. 30, 2021, is a date that should live in infamy in U.S. history. It was the day the last planes carrying Americans left Afghanistan and ended what has been dubbed ‘America’s Longest War.’
It was the day President Joe Biden decided to leave Americans in Afghanistan. It was the day “abandon Americans in need” became part of the Build Back Better platform.

President Biden appears to have broken his promise to stay in Afghanistan until every American is evacuated.
Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr. announced Monday evening that the last of the U.S. troops stationed at the Kabul airport had left, completing the military’s drawdown in the country, even though hundreds of Americans likely remain.
McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, said some American citizens who wanted to leave Afghanistan remained in the country.
"We did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out," he said...
"That's what we're doing now, that's the path we're on. And I think we'll get there," he said. "If there's American citizens left, we're gonna stay to get them all out."

A White House official said they were "appalled and literally horrified" that President Biden left Americans stranded in Afghanistan, a new report reveals.
An administration official told Politico that they were stunned by the president’s decision to leave Americans behind as the Taliban solidifies their power in the country and reportedly engages in door-to-door executions.
"I am absolutely appalled and literally horrified we left Americans there," the official said. "It was a hostage rescue of thousands of Americans in the guise of a NEO [noncombatant evacuation operations], and we have failed that no-fail mission."
"No great country can say it is secure without being able to control its borders."

Immigrants with connections to Islamic terrorist groups have begun taking advantage of what one senior Customs and Border Protection official called "a porous border."

Biden "Deliberately Expediting Flow of Migrants into the U.S."...
"Common sense border security recommendations from experienced career professionals are being ignored and stymied by inexperienced political appointees.
The Biden administration’s team at DHS is laser-focused on expediting the flow of migrants into the U.S. and downplaying the significant vulnerability this creates for terrorists, narcotics smugglers, human traffickers, and even hostile nations to gain access to our homeland."
Mexican crime cartels, never seeing the U.S. border so inviting as it has been under President Joe Biden, are openly driving to the border with tractor trailers full of illegal immigrants and drugs to unload their cargo, according to a new report.

"A wall will not stop the coronavirus. Banning all travel from Europe — or any other part of the world — will not stop it."
-Joe Biden, March 2020
When Trump implemented a travel ban on China in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, then-candidate Biden railed against the executive action as “xenophobic,” claiming such restrictions do not work.
Less than a year later, Biden has implemented his own travel bans on South Africa, Brazil, Great Britain, and 26 other European countries in the second week of his presidency.
-The Federalist Staff
President Joe Biden issued a proclamation on Friday that instituted a travel ban beginning Monday. Just call it Biden's African travel ban.
The ban will restrict noncitizens from entering the United States from South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini (Swaziland), Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, according to the proclamation.

The White House will restrict travel from India starting at midnight on Tuesday, May 4, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced on Friday... The Biden administration cited a steep rise in coronavirus cases in the country and the possible emergence of multiple variants.

President Biden has signed a record 37 executive actions in his first week in office, and the exact number of executive orders is not known because the Federal Register has not been updated since Jan. 21.
With just six days in office under his belt, the 46th commander-in-chief has issued more edicts in his first week than any of his predecessors.
One of Big Left’s favorite tactics, when taking over an institution (or country), is to grab the steering wheel. When they have the presidency, they rule by executive command.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that she believes women who say they felt uncomfortable after receiving unwanted touching from former Vice President Joe Biden.
"I believe them and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it," Harris said at a presidential campaign event in Nevada.
The California senator added that Biden will need to decide for himself whether to run for president.
In December, 2013, Biden grabbed the waist of The Hill’s White House reporter Amie Parnes at a White House holiday party. As she appeared to protect her underboob, he veered dangerously close to her abdomen. The picture quickly went viral.
Clearly laughs were had by all.

"But it was a bonehead idea. It was a terrible, terrible mistake to make."

A "Bonehead Idea"...
"President Roosevelt clearly had the right to send to the United States Senate and the United States Congress a proposal to pack the court. It was totally within his right to do that. He violated no law. He was legalistically, absolutely correct.
But it was a bonehead idea. It was a terrible, terrible mistake to make.
And it put in question, for an entire decade, the independence of the most significant body—including the Congress included in my view—in this country, the Supreme Court of the United States of America."

Joe Biden on Friday ordered a study of adding seats to the supreme court, creating a bipartisan 36-member commission that will spend the next six months examining the politically incendiary issues of expanding the court and instituting term limits for its justices.
The executive order fulfills a campaign promise to examine court reform, including expanding the number of justices or setting term-limits...
The announcement comes after the supreme court justice Stephen Breyer warned this week that efforts to expand the court could erode public “trust that the court is guided by legal principle, not politics”.

Biden: Funding Should "Absolutely" Be Redirected From Police...
Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday that some funding should “absolutely” be redirected from police, amid calls from some in his party to "defund the police" in the wake of the protests across the country.
“But do we agree that we can redirect some of the [police] funding?” Barkan asked Biden.
“Yes, absolutely,” said the former vice president.

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden definitively declared "I do not support defunding police." He then stated he is proposing an additional $300 million to reinvigorate community policing in America.

Fracking: "We would make sure it's eliminated"...
Previously, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Biden, “Would there be any place for fossil fuels including coal and fracking in a Biden administration?”
Without skipping a beat, Biden definitively replied, “No, we would we would work it out. We would make sure it's eliminated.”
Democrat, Liberal, Oops, Energy, Biden
Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden clarified his stance on fossil fuels a day after he seemed to indicate during the presidential debate that he would phase out the use of coal and the drilling technique known as fracking if elected...
When asked to clarify on Thursday, his campaign issued a statement saying, “Joe Biden is committed to achieving a 100% clean energy economy and net-zero emissions by 2050. He supports eliminating subsidies for coal and gas and deploying carbon capture sequestration technology to create economic benefits for multiple industries and significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions.”

-Joe Biden, March 2020
Joe Biden’s campaign has privately told U.S. miners it would support boosting domestic production of metals used to make electric vehicles, solar panels and other products crucial to his climate plan, according to three sources familiar with the matter, in a boon for the mining industry.
-Ernest Scheyder
Democrat, Liberal, Oops, Jobs
U.S. President Joe Biden will rely on ally countries to supply the bulk of the metals needed to build electric vehicles and focus on processing them domestically into battery parts, part of a strategy designed to placate environmentalists, two administration officials with direct knowledge told Reuters.
The plans will be a blow to U.S. miners who had hoped Biden would rely primarily on domestically sourced metals, as his campaign had signalled last autumn, to help fulfill his ambitions for a less carbon-intensive economy.

"I think he’s got a pretty big credibility crisis on his hands because all of these problems, in some ways, showed up after he said something basically the exact opposite."
There appears to be a growing concern among some voters that Biden is not governing the way he campaigned. During his run for the White House, Biden presented himself as a "centrist," and much media coverage happily went along.
But once in office, Biden has pushed massive spending proposals to remake America.
