On July 30 the Senenews media outlet reported that authorities in Mali and Mauritania were investigating the involvement of Ukrainian military instructors in the year-long conflict in Mali on the side of the rebels.
President Joe Biden’s time in the White House is mercifully coming to an end.
He is now officially a lame duck with six months to go.
Biden was a victim here of a corrupt Democratic machine that — along with a complicit media — thought they could pull off a grand election-year deceit, despite his failing cognitive abilities.
The Democratic establishment and a compliant media convinced millions of primary voters that Biden was of sound mind and ready to serve four more years.
This lust for power put America in danger.
How could they be so unpatriotic?
So, where will Biden stand in the history books?
He was not a failed president because of his declining cognitive abilities.
It was his policies that wrecked America.
From his first days in the Oval Office, Biden governed from the far left on everything from climate change, to radical income redistribution, to massive government expansionism, to racial politics, to a “blame America first” foreign policy, to his dangerous weaponization of every agency of government from the Internal Revenue Service to the FBI to the Justice Department and, perhaps, even to the Secret Service.
He made President Richard Nixon look like an amateur.
It is hard to point to a single policy that he got right.
On the economy, he was catastrophically bad.
The trillions of dollars of debt he rung up bought nothing.
He sent inflation to the highest levels in almost forty years.
The average family lost $2,000 of income after inflation during his reign.
More people died of COVID during his presidency than Trump’s — despite the availability of the vaccine.
Interest rates rose.
Biden declared war on American energy.
He put America back into the Paris Climate Accord—and the rest of the world went on using more fossil fuels than ever.
By impeding U.S. oil and gas production and pipelines he played into the hands of our enemies — China and Iran.
Gas prices rose.
Small business confidence sagged.
Poverty rates rose.
Then there was the sheer incompetence.
The bungled Afghanistan withdrawal was a national security disaster.
The border became a broken dam with millions seeking to illegally enter the country.
The government spent $7.5 billion on electric vehicle chargers and only a handful got built.
Biden gave away hundreds of billions of dollars for an illegal and immoral student loan forgiveness program.
He put regulators in charge of key agencies even though — or because — they hate business.
A majority of his appointees had no business experience.
It showed.
When he departs the White House in the months ahead he will leave the nation poorer, weaker, more divided, more in debt, more vulnerable, and less respected than when he entered office.
This was a man who pledged to unite the country and did just the opposite.
He deserves to go down in history as one of the five worst presidents of the 20th and 21st century.
Here is my list starting with the worst: 1) Woodrow Wilson; 2) Herbert Hoover: 3) Jimmy Carter; 4) Joe Biden; 5) Barack Obama.
Now the Democrats want to run Vice President Kamala Harris, who was on board with every Biden policy and helped oversee the worst border catastrophe in modern history.
Just when you thought things could not get any worse.
