Maybe not stable geniuses, but at least they can read.  Targeting cartels is not "bombing Mexico."

He’s bad yet not as bad as the last admin they’re saying? Lol

I would have expected our current President's approval rating to be a lot higher given the way the administration and their media agents are parading around like they've received some overwhelming mandate from the voters to enact all kinds of policy initiatives and changes.  But the Presidential election was decided in a few swing states where the lead changed at the 11th hour almost simultaneously, the Senate is tied 50/50 with a VP tiebreaker vote if needed, and the House margin is 6 seats.  That's hardly a mandate and if history is any guide Congress will flip back to the Republicans in 2022.

The COVID relief  bill had little to do with COVID relief and more about addressing a lot of special interests and state debts and rewarding party faithful.  The Infrastructure bill is the same with not much spending for infrastructure.  The southern border is a disaster, they're picking no-win fights in Ukraine and Taiwan with Russia and China, deciding not to honor the Afghanistan pullout deal of May 1st (while planing to leave 1000's of contractors and mercenaries behind to continue the war) which will surely lead to attacks on US troops, they're moving to placate Iran which Israel will not accept, staying in Syria and Iraq.  

And to top it off the great uniter appears to be failing at unification as there's more domestic unrest, riots, shootings, and all kinds of violence.  And lots of inflammatory rhetoric coming out of the White House (just like Trump got cited for) and not a lot of talk about reconciliation and coming together.   

In summary, everything is falling apart right on schedule.

Didn’t stop Trump; and he never did win the popular vote.

As the left keeps reminding everyone they hold the moral and ethical high ground.  So saying Trump did something as a justification for similar actions or behavior by the Biden administration seems a bit hypocritical and conditional.  And while Trump was pretty bad I think this administration is headed in the direction of becoming the worst Presidency in the history of the country.  Or maybe they end up killing us all starting WW3 with China and/or Russia?  Whatever your political or social views my advice is to be prepared for the biggest financial and social crisis of your lifetime and its your choice to be a casualty or a survivor.

TO BE FAIR, OBAMA SET THE BAR LOW: 

 

Trump’s Official Smithsonian Portrait Unveiled and It’s Everything You Wanted It to Be. 

 

Well, he’s not riding a velociraptor while firing a machine gun, but it’s not bad.

 

 

And yeah, the side-by-side comparison is really something:

Australia, right now, feels a little biblical. There was a terrible drought, then the worst bush fires ever recorded. A flood came next. Now it’s the turn of the mice.

The scale of the mouse plague is hard to comprehend. In the western districts of New South Wales (NSW), the country’s most populous state, millions of mice are now on the march. There are also serious infestations in southern Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.

On social media, farmers post videos showing the swarm in action, while farming organizations say the cost is already in the millions.

When presenting reports of the mouse plague on Sydney radio, I issue a warning about “material that may disturb some listeners.” The details are disgusting. Consider yourself warned.

Bradley Wilshire, a farmer near Dubbo, captured more than 500 in one night and then shared details of how to build the bucket trap in which he caught them.

According to the Country Women’s Association, farmers have been bitten in their beds, with some protecting themselves from incursions by placing each leg of their bed or child’s cot in a bucket of sand or water.

In three towns, the mice even managed to invade the local hospital, biting patients.

Then, a month ago, there was a second flood, which some thought might drown the mice in their burrows. The impact varied. In some places, the rain stabilized mouse numbers, but in other places the populations continued to boom. Worse, the flooding drove the mice indoors, with some eating through doors and the silicon around windows to gain entry.

The emotional impact has not been properly recorded, according to Steve Henry, a mouse expert who has been advising farmers.

“People have become exhausted,” he tells me. “There are mice in their linen press, in their pantry, running across their beds, eating their food. Every day, when they get up, there are mice. Every night, when they go to bed, there are mice.”
