I was in the midst of my regular weekend Wally World run this morning, picking up my usual goods – some frozen foods, a six-pack of Dr. Pepper, a gallon of spring water, some cat food, and a few other odds and ends – when I ran across a friend. We exchanged pleasantries and expressed our laments about skyrocketing prices, especially for cat food. She then said exactly what I was thinking.
“People wonder why this is happening. What’s happening is that we have morons running things in Washington. Biden’s the biggest moron of the bunch. He doesn’t have a clue that he’s the cause of our present problems.”
Indeed. What’s more telling is that it isn’t just we Deplorables saying this.
The Saudi’s are saying the same thing.
In a March 22, 2022 article in Arab News, Saudi Arabia's leading English-language daily, the daily's editor Faisal 'Abbas states sarcastically that, if American author Toby Young ever wanted to write a sequel to his book 'How to Lose Friends & Alienate People,' he would find a rich vein of content in U.S. President Joe Biden’s foreign policy, which consistently contravenes the interests of America's allies and of American itself.
A blatant example, he says, is America's current eagerness to appease Iran in order to renew the nuclear deal with it. As part of this, the U.S. is even considering removing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the terrorism list, a move that is likely to embolden Iran rather than restrain it. "Declassifying the IRGC simply to obtain a new agreement would be the equivalent of trying to put out a fire by spraying it with aviation fuel," 'Abbas says.
When a nominal on-again off-again ally is telling us Washington is being run by morons, agreeing with a good portion of the American people, then one has to consider that both groups are right. The 2020 election was indeed a debacle for the the country and the people. All we can hope for is that the 2022 mid-term elections will help turn the tide, assuming SloJo doesn’t get us into World War III before then.
