Five Basic Mistakes Biden Has Made Since January

 For a guy who spent eight years as Vice-President.....you just stand and admire the landscape of today, and wonder how someone could make five mistakes of such magnitude.

1.  Hiring of 'lesser-people' to be cabinet secretaries.  It goes beyond Mayor-Pete.  Blinken as Secretary of State has been a hit-and-miss guy....meaning 50-percent of what he's done....is crappy work.  Garland as Attorney General?  He's continuingly digging himself deeper into a dead-end....meaning I don't see him in the job by the end of 2022.  

2.  The Afghanistan mess.  All he had to do....sign up to a plan, and let the Pentagon manage this to the bitter end.  The month of August?  A great demonstration of incompetence, and no one will stand up to take the blame.

3.  The Christmas-port business.  As President, you would expect him to walk in and say....'in 90 days, I want the Covid epidemic to wrap up and downsize.  I want the nation going back to normal business.'

In his mind, the epidemic won't conclude in 2021, and I seriously doubt that they can declare 'freedom-day' in 2022.  The port business?  You can view numerous experts talking about this....most don't see this resolved till mid-summer 2022, and some suggest zero potential to resolve anytime in 2022.  

4.  Hunter Biden.  If there ever was a moment when you needed to dump the kid and send the prosecutors after the 'kid'....it's now.

5.  Trillion-dollar deal.  There's a hundred problems with the draft bill, but it essentially goes to his chatter suggesting that 3-trillion dollars of funding....has zero-cost dollars attached.  He repeats this over and over, and each time....looks like a junkie on the streets of San Francisco on some 'high'.  If it was truly zero-cost dollars attached....why not make it a 20-trillion dollar gift deal?  

These are mistakes that President Obama would not have made, and it just leaves you wondering....what's new for mistakes in 2022?

How The Townhall Went

 I tried to watch the Biden-townhall event early this AM, and it's pretty odd....YouTube does have various clips, but they are 'cut' and mostly 3-to-4 minutes only.  So after a good bit  of effort....I finally found the 74-minute CNN-Biden-townhall event.   You can view it here.

So I'll offer four observations:

1.  The two-minute talk over his trillion-dollar deal?  It just didn't sell.  On used-car chatter....I'd give him a '2' out of a '10'.

2. Peppy?  Well....yeah, he was a bit peppy.  More than normal?  I doubt it....Joe seems to get some surge of Adeline with these townhalls.

3.  It's just odd....the number of fact-checkers who appear in the hour or two after the townhall....from both left and right.  Must have been at least ten differing fact-checker views.  If you added up all of these....must have been twenty different Joe-moments which crapped out one way or another.

4.  If I were rating President Biden on incoherent statements (just that alone)....there were probably fifteen-plus moments where he just seemed 'out-of-it'.  Some were just comical moments that I suspect he added for comic-relief (which Joe is probably one of the worst at handling this type of humor).  It's like he's a modern-day version of the 1960's Bob Hope......trying to tell the same type of joke, and no one under 80 years old is laughing. 

All a stage event?  Well....he can't do reporter Q-and-A sessions anymore, without goofing these up.  So he needs the CNN-type episodes where the questions are carefully formatted to fit what Joe can handle.  

What I generally expect for the next twelve months....probably every couple of months....CNN will do a public service open forum like this, and at least allow the public to get some feeling that Joe can answer questions.  Maybe you'd like for him to answer more difficult questions....but this is basically all that Joe can handle.  Just accept that.  If you hated the Trump Q-and-A sessions....you probably don't like the CNN-Joe sessions either.  

Reflection Upon Joe's Trillions Deal and Inflation-Stress

 Basically, without a lot of BS.....President Biden has picked the worst possible time to wage his campaign to get the trillion dollar 'gift' to America.  

Maybe if he'd entered in January, and had this up as a 'hot' item in February....things would have gone differently.  

You take the recession....this all occurring in mid-summer....the logistics logjam at the port, and people freaking out about Christmas gifts, it's worst possible time to achieve the deal.  

Timing is everything. 

Footnote: If the 3.5-trillon deal cost to the public is zero dollars of cost.....why limit it to 3.5-trillion?  I'd quadruple this up to around 20-trillion.  Give kids forty ice-cream vouchers....give everyone a 7-day trip to Vegas....issue E-cars freely to everyone.  

Observations: 22 Oct 2021

 1.  Is there an International Pronouns Day?

Yes, every 3rd Wed of Oct....having started in 2018.  You are supposed to make an effort to be vigilant on respecting people's pronouns.  My chief question, having heard this.....is there a International Adjectives Day as well?  I always felt adjectives were more important than verbs, nouns, etc.  It's like using the phrase 'stupid people', and how well 'stupid' really fits into the expression.

2.  Is the new comic details of the 'son' of Superman being bi-sexual a bit 'erotic'?

I finally sat down and viewed around four drawings of the new comic, and will offer the observation that it's a bit lewd/wanton.  Some people would openly discuss the new genre existing....like 'soft-sex' comics with aliens having relations with Marvin, or some Dracula-gal all over Marvin.  It's an arousing fantasy scheme....more than a Batman/Superman 'saving-Earth' dynamic.  

3.  Did Biden say gas prices are not going down anytime soon?

Yes, and you get the impression that he meant.....not just 2021, or 2022.  

4.  Department of Labor (US) suggesting that 401k accounts have 'rules' that mandate progressive political agendas?

Well....yeah, they've put this paper out there to suggest they can mandate this and it'd be for the greater 'labor' good of Americans.  On the list of the top ten most stupid things I've heard in 2021.....this makes the list.  Generally, on 401k strategies....your goal is to grow money and avoid high risk schemes.  You don't want the Department of Labor anywhere near your money.

5.  The odds of Netflix kicking off Dave Chappelle from their network, for trans-scaring fragile people?

Up until this week, I would have said only a 1-percent chance.  Presently, I'd say it's near 50-50.  However, if they were to do this....it'd be a massive reaction for people to dump their account (plenty of alternate sources now).  

Observations: 21 Oct 2021

 1.  Isn't all this movement of immigrant kids around America....basically human trafficking sanctioned by the US government?

Well....the fact that it occurs at night, and no one from the White House talks about this....does hint of human trafficking.  But you kinda notice....no one from the Democratic side of the Senate seems worried.  Just an odd scene....like you walked into a party where seven people lay dead on the floor and no one seems to know how they came to be dead.

2.  Any truth to Senator Manchin (D, West Virginia) converting to Republicans?

Well.....he says 'hell NO'.  Several state papers in WV are saying there's some substance here, and maybe he's talking to McConnell over getting Chair over Appropriations Committee (meaning that Selby from Alabama might be in some transit situation (stepping down)).

If he goes?  Well....Biden is toast for getting anything done for rest of 2021 and all of 2022.  Just something to think about.

3.  Illinois sheriffs saying they won't send help, if Chicago dismisses the no-vax police?

To put this in prospective....Chicago says they can mandate the vax business and fire cops who refuse.  Creating a shortage?  No doubt about that, and their only way to find a temp solution....is to get the state sheriffs around the state to contribute vaccinated deputies to fill the gap.  

If they don't get the deputies?  I'd say wild crazy stuff will start within a week, and Chicago would turn into some massive chaos.  

4.  Finally, NIH admitting 'gain-of-function' research funded by Fauci?

Yeah....NIH went yesterday.....admitted funding occurred and Wuhan's lab was doing 'something'.  In most countries, a prosecutor would be on Fauci's situation and conducting a search warrant.  Here in the US?  Nothing. 

Another Problem?

 I tried to make sense out of this headline: "Disaster in the Making: 12,000 Afghans in U.S. Now with No ID Whatsoever."  It's from Front Page Mag.

If you follow American voting chatter.....there must be over one-million Americans citizens walking around, without an ID.  No one says much about this, and certainly, you won't stop them from voting. 

On Mexicans or other foreigners walking around without an ID?  It's anyone's guess, but I would go and suggest a minimum of one million, and probably going up to around three to four million.

Even if you got fancy about this.....'giving' them a state ID of some type....who would pay for it?  And if this made sense.....why not give those Americans walking around a free ID, and then mandate the ID for voting.

On my list of things to worry about?  It probably rates near the 16,808 number on my list.  

Is There Such A Thing as 'Biden-Unity'?

 I think among the forty-odd promises made by Joe Biden in 2020.....this talk of bringing unity finally to the nation (after four years of Trump and a questionable period of eight years of Obama-unity).....about 80-percent of us will agree that Biden-unity is non-existent.

To some degree, I might even go and suggest that among Democratic-leaning voters...even half of them would laugh and say Biden-unity is a fantasy....mostly to the degree that it will never come before 2025 (when Biden leaves).

If you tried to engage people on this topic....most would just laugh and ask if you have anything better to discuss....like potholes in the neighborhood, dog-tricks, recommended motor oils for riding mowers, or least favorite NCAA football team.

Should this even be brought up to Joe?  He'd probably ask who the hell promised that, and did they understand the 'real-world'?
