The most recent liberal ABC
News/Washington Post poll showed President Joe Biden’s
approval rating at 36 percent – the lowest in history for a
president at this point in his first term.
Biden’s low popularity is no
mystery.
He inherited energy
independence, affordable gas prices, historically low interest
rates, low inflation, calm overseas, a low crime rate, and a
largely closed border with legal-only immigration.
And then Biden destroyed
that inheritance.
He has begged illiberal foreign
governments to pump oil he refuses to drill domestically for.
He spiked inflation at the
highest rate in over 40 years.
Home interest rates have
skyrocketed from less than 3% to 7%.
He nearly doubled the price of
gasoline.
His hare-brained retreat
from Afghanistan marked the greatest humiliation of the
American military in the last half-century.
Kabul is now selling billions
of dollars’ worth of abandoned American equipment to terrorists
and anti-American regimes.
After that fiasco, Biden
foolhardily played down a possible “minor” Russia invasion of
Ukraine. He implored Russia to exempt some American institutions
from its cyber-attack target list.
No wonder an empowered Russian
President Vladimir Putin went into Ukraine.
Biden’s family is corrupt
from top to bottom.
Its influence peddling schemes
increasingly are targets of congressional investigations. Biden
himself is explicitly mentioned by his son Hunter as the
recipient of a 10% commission on monies the family syndicate
leveraged from foreign interests.
Biden promised “unity.”
Instead, he habitually smears half the country as
“semi-fascists” and “ultra-MAGA” extremists.
Biden is cognitively
challenged and often incoherent. And he is now losing
support in the polls from African Americans, once his most
loyal constituency.
In response, Biden does what he
has always done for some 40 years: mouth wild racist
demagoguery.
This graduation season, Biden
deliberately chose Howard University to scare its Black
graduates into believing the greatest threat to their
aspirations is “white supremacy” – but that he, Biden, has been
their protector in fighting it.
Note the existential threats
Biden deliberately omits.
Tens of thousands of illegal
immigrants are flooding over a border Biden deliberately
destroyed. Millions of incoming poor will vie for limited
federal and state support with Americans who are in need.
Since Biden was elected, there have been nearly 7 million illegal
entries.
Some 100,000 Americans now
die each year from Mexican-produced fentanyl and other opioids
shipped across a wide-open border.
Biden did not mention that
nearly 10,000 African Americans are murdered each year, over
90% of them killed by other African Americans.
Biden first should heal his own
racism before he fabricates it in others.
He fueled his early Senate
career with homages to southern Democratic segregationists such
as Senator James O. Eastland, D-Miss. Biden even bragged that
Eastland “never called me ‘boy.'” Biden gave eulogies for
former Dixiecrat Sen. Strom Thurmond and former Klansman Sen.
Robert Byrd.
Of school busing, a younger
Senator Biden thundered, “My children are going to grow up in a
jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle.”
Biden in 2008 patronized former
President Barack Obama in racist terms as “the first
mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and
clean and a nice-looking guy.”
In 2012, Biden condescended to
a group of accomplished Black professionals that the Republican
presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, would “put y’all back in
chains.”
As a presidential candidate in
2020, he dismissed two Black journalists, respectively with the
putdowns “you ain’t Black” and “junkie.”
His fabricated “Corn Pop”
he-man autobiographical tales are utterly racist.
As president he has referred to
two prominent people of color as “boy.” He still uses the term
“Negro” to refer to Blacks.
Biden never cites data to
support his wild accusations that white supremacy poses
the nation’s greatest threat.
The 2020 riots, the
lengthiest in our history, left up to 40 people dead,
destroyed $2 billion in property, led to 14,000 arrests,
spanned 120 days of mass looting, and arson, and saw mobs
torching police precincts, federal courthouses, and a historic
church.
That violence was engineered
by radicals in Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
In the January 6 Capitol
protests, the only person confirmed to have been killed at that
event was an unarmed military veteran and Trump supporter, Ashli
Babbitt. She was fatally shot by a Capitol police officer
for the misdemeanor of attempting to enter through a broken
window.
If “white supremacy” is our
“greatest” terrorist threat, surely crime statistics would
reveal such an existential peril.
Yet federal hate- and
interracial-crime data show that so-called whites are
considerably unrepresented demographically in such racially
motivated violence.
Far from galvanizing the
public, Biden’s monotonous racial demagoguery is turning it off.
The military suffers a vast drop in enlistments
that began once Biden’s Pentagon brass, without evidence,
likewise began demagoguing about supposed “white rage” in the
ranks.
Only 37% of independents in a
recent poll now support Biden. Some 70% of the public in other
polls opposes a second Biden run.
So on spec, a panicked Biden
now turns to what he has done for decades – inflammatory
racial demagoguery.
