Posts: 5500Generic Polls Tightening? Bring on the Immigrant Caravan fearmongering!
Right on cue:
Fox & Friends fearmongers that the largest-ever migrant caravan is gathering in Mexico
Co-host Brian Kilmeade: There's over 10,000 illegal immigrants set to storm our borders, two thirds of which are women and children who then become our responsibility to clothe, to food, to school

I long for the day when Repubs can truthfully and accurately run for election on their record of positive economic, national security and foreign policy results being at least marginally competitive to those of their Dem opponents. Can't recall a time when they could do that over the past several decades. Instead, they have to run on hyped up irrelevant social war issues to con suckers into voting for them.
I hope the caravan is filled with applicants for some of the millions of jobs Biden and the Dems have created in this Great Dem Recovery from the recent Great Repub Recession and Massive Jobs Destruction that have gone unfilled to date.

So sure, the restrictions didn't work.
Most of what President Biden hasn't gotten done is because the MAGAt party has filibustered virtually everything.
By the way, the Venezuelans can vote out Maduro any time they want just like the US voted out the Orange Buffoon.

It's easy for those that could ignore the online right wingnut conspiracy theories and fake science, read a history book, and acquire a bit of patience. And balanced mitigation measures made sense to keep hospitals from overflowing, and to buy time until we could develop vaccines and effective treatments.

What was the big one he ran on? Build back better? The Stimulation package he promnised and failed to deliver. Yet he had plenty of cash to spend on new miliitary. Likesays, you cannot see it, but most USAns can.

Posts: 657The Sovietization of American Life. Victor Davis Hansen
Behind all our disasters there looms an ideology, a creed that ignores cause and effect in the real world—without a shred of concern for the damage done to those outside the political elite of the nomenclature.
Examine California and ask a series of simple questions. Why does the state that formerly served as a model to the nation regarding transportation now suffer inferior freeways while its multi billion-dollar high-speed rail project remains an utter boondoggle and failure? Why was its safe and critically needed last-remaining nuclear power plant scheduled for shutdown (and only recently reversed) as the state faced summer brownouts? Why did its forests go up in smoke predictably each summer, as its timber industry and the century-old science of forest management all but disappeared from the state? Why do the state's criminals so often evade indictment, and if convicted are often not incarcerated—or are quickly paroled? Why are its schools' test scores dismal, its gasoline the nation's highest-priced, and the streets of its major cities fetid and dangerous—in a fashion not true 50 years ago or elsewhere today?
In a word, the one-party state (of California) is Sovietized. Public policy is no longer empirical but subservient to green, diversity, equity, and inclusion dogmas—and detached from the reality of daily middle-class existence. Decline is ensured once ideology governs problem-solving rather than time-tested and successful policy making.
In a similar fashion, the common denominator in Joe Biden's two years of colossal failures is Soviet-like edicts of equity, climate change, and Neo-socialist redistribution that have ensured (for the non-elite, in any event) soaring inflation, unaffordable energy, rampant crime, and catastrophic illegal immigration. Playing the role of Pravda, Biden and his team simply denied things were bad, relabeled failure as success, and attacked his predecessor and critics as various sorts of counterrevolutionaries.
Biden rejected commonsense, bipartisan policies that in the past kept inflation low, energy affordable, crime controlled, and the border manageable. Instead, he superimposed leftist dogma on every decision, whose ideological purity, not real-life consequences for millions, was considered the measure of success.
The ultimate trajectory of a woke military was the fatal disgrace in Afghanistan. Ideologues in uniform kept claiming that the humiliating skedaddle was a logistical success and that misguided bombs that killed innocents were called a "righteous strike. " Afghanistan all summer of 2021 was to be Joe Biden's successful model of a graduated withdrawal in time for a 20th-anniversary commemoration of 9/11—until it suddenly wasn't. How predictable it was that the United States fled Kabul, abandoning not just billions of dollars worth of sophisticated weapons to terrorists, but also with Pride flags flying, George Floyd murals on public walls, and gender studies initiatives being carried out in the military ranks. Ask yourself: if a general during the Afghanistan debacle had brilliantly organized a sustainable and defensible corridor around Bagram Airfield but was known to be skeptical of Pentagon efforts to address climate change and diversity would he be praised or reviled?

But they hate and blame Joe Biden the least.
Now you guys can throw away your irrelevant "Biden broken promises" lists. We're going strictly on feelings now. And on that count, Americans feel Biden is doing a better job than anyone else in a position to do just about anything at all.
Go Joe!
