He did what he said though. Hes getting so much **** from every media outlet about the taliban taking over but hes stuck course. I think biden has seen how ****ed up DC and the establishment is and he wants to leave a legacy for himself. People dont realize how obsessed leaders are with "legacies" as its the only thing that historians remember you by. They did a good segment on his exective orders from friday What biden is truly proposing is a complete overhaul of the political establishment. People dont take whats happening serious because biden is boring and slow but hes proposing hugely radical things. The DOJ and FTC has never gone after big business in America and has let them built so much concentrated power for decades.
"Opinion: Why would the Biden administration roll out the red carpet for this Saudi accomplice to murder?" https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...-out-red-carpet-this-saudi-accomplice-murder/ Opinion: Why would the Biden administration roll out the red carpet for this Saudi accomplice to murder? Saudi Deputy Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman attends a meeting at the Pentagon in August 2019. (Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP) Opinion by the Editorial Board July 12, 2021|Updated today at 5:37 p.m. EDT President Biden promised during his campaign that he would dispense with the pampering President Donald Trump offered to Middle Eastern dictators. There would be “no more blank checks” for the likes of Egypt’s Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, Mr. Biden vowed; as for the leaders of Saudi Arabia, he would “make them in fact the pariah that they are.” There is “very little social redeeming value in the present government in Saudi Arabia,” he said. So why, last week, did Mr. Biden roll out the red carpet for Prince Khalid bin Salman, the brother of Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman? The former ambassador to Washington was directly implicated in the 2018 murder of exiled journalist Jamal Khashoggi, yet was treated to a host of high-level meetings, including with Mr. Biden’s national security adviser, secretary of state and defense secretary. That’s not the reception you’d expect for a pariah. Of course, the United States still has security interests with Saudi Arabia; according to the State Department, Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Khalid bin Salman about “regional security issues,” including efforts to end the disastrous war in Yemen launched by the Saudis more than six years ago.Yet the prince now holds the relatively lowly post of deputy defense minister. If it were necessary to host a senior Saudi official to address those matters, the White House could have invited the foreign minister. Instead, Mr. Biden chose to rehabilitate a member of the ruling family who left Washington in disgrace in 2019 after publicly insisting that reports of Khashoggi’s murder inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul were “absolutely false, and baseless.” The CIA concluded that Khalid bin Salman played a key role in the killing by inducing Khashoggi, a contributing columnist for The Post who was living outside Washington, to seek paperwork he needed at the Istanbul consulate, rather than the embassy in D.C. Mr. Biden has declined so far to meet directly with Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS; the administration released a report concluding that the crown prince was responsible for Khashoggi’s murder. But Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has spoken with MBS by phone on multiple occasions. By allowing his brother to make the rounds in Washington, the White House has brought MBS a step closer to a full political recovery. The Saudi ruler has done nothing to deserve this: He continues to arrest, torture and imprison peaceful critics of his rule. Despite pressure from Washington, he has refused to sanction or even sideline the top adviser who oversaw the Khashoggi operation, as well as the arrest and torture of women who campaigned for the right to drive. Nor have U.S. efforts to broker an end to the war in Yemen succeeded. The Saudi’s success in wearing down the administration, and similar progress by the Sissi regime in Egypt, sends a message to the world’s most brutal autocrats: Mr. Biden may talk up human rights and the importance of shunning those who crudely violate them. But, in the end, you’ll still get your White House meeting.
https://www.thefencepost.com/news/farm-ranch-groups-praise-biden-competition-order/ It's so funny that right wing brainwashing media makes you hates bidens policies yet when ACTUAL every day Republicans learn and see benefits they fall in love. Right wing Farmer's unions and cattle ranchers are saying this actually see bidens latest actions: Family Farm Action Alliance President Joe Maxwell said, “We thank President Biden for his bold and decisive actions today on behalf of family farmers and the American people.” “Family Farm Action Alliance and other food and farm organizations have worked tirelessly for the changes Biden has ordered. Not since Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt has a president taken on corporate power to this extent. This will likely be Biden’s legacy as it was theirs.” Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund United Stockgrowers of America CEO Bill Bullard said, “We’ve urged administration after administration for the past 20 years to begin proper enforcement of both antitrust laws and the 100-year-old Packers and Stockyards Act and this is the first administration to actually take action.” Biden is literally doing more for farmer's and fighting for their rights more so than trump ever did yet you turds can't see through the fear mongering and bullshit. You literally have Biden fundamentally changing every day farmer's and Republicans lives. He's a leader you turds can't comprehend
https://www.wsj.com/articles/joe-bi...-cancel-culture-11626622857?mod=hp_opin_pos_2 Biden’s Self-Refuting Progressivism If the president thinks pre-pandemic voting laws are racist, why didn’t he object to them before now? By Barton Swaim July 18, 2021 1:36 pm ET President Biden decries Texas election legislation as a threat to voting rights in Philadelphia, July 13. PHOTO: DREW ANGERER/GETTY IMAGES ‘We’re facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War,” President Biden said last week. “That’s not hyperbole.” He was speaking of proposals in the Texas Legislature to roll back some pandemic-related changes to voting procedures, especially 24-hour and drive-through voting. Mr. Biden and his allies on the left have claimed that similar proposals in Georgia and Florida would revive Jim Crow. The contention that bills aiming to return states more or less to pre-pandemic voting norms amount to a rebirth of Southern secessionism or segregation is a preposterous slander that requires attention only because powerful people are repeating it. Whether their claims are politically savvy is doubtful—calling your opponents racist works better when you have evidence. But the aspersions will have an effect. Mr. Biden called the Georgia proposal, which he clearly knew nothing about, “un-American” and “sick” and so obliged an assortment of multinational corporations to defame Georgia lawmakers as racists. What’s notable about this line of argument is that, like many other claims made by the cultural left, it’s self-refuting. How are we to believe Mr. Biden when he says 2019 voting regulations were racist when he said nothing about them in 2019? Is he, too, “un-American” and “sick” because he remained silent all those years when Georgia and Texas hadn’t yet expanded early voting and loosened laws on mail-in ballots? I’m taking Mr. Biden’s remarks both literally and seriously when they deserve to be taken as cynical hooey. He and his allies know full well that Democratic strongholds like New York and Rhode Island impose tighter rules on voting than the Georgia, Florida and Texas bills would. But the sheer illogic of this controversy captures something essential about culture-war progressives. They are able to embrace a cause, condemn dissenters and doubters as monsters, and experience no cognitive dissonance despite having themselves held the contrary view a short time ago. Consider same-sex marriage. You may support or oppose it. In fact, if you’re older than about 40 and you believe same-sex marriage to be a constitutional right, you probably did oppose it 15 or 20 years ago—or at least you were indifferent to it and made little fuss about it. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were against same-sex marriage in 2008, and Sen. Biden voted for the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. The American left began devoting serious attention to the cause after Mr. Obama took office in 2009. After the Supreme Court decided Obergefell v. Hodges six years later, the sanctity of same-sex marriage ceased, in the progressive mind, even to be a view. Instantly it became an orthodoxy from which no respectable dissent was conceivable. Progressives who adopt this attitude, as almost all do, appear not to understand that it is an indictment of their own character and political outlook. Taken on its own terms, it means the vast preponderance of today’s most influential and powerful progressives were moral dimwits until the other day. Either they opposed same-sex marriage or they were silent about it; and silence, as they say, is violence. The same is true of transgender rights. Very few people were interested in the subject a decade ago. Now it is an orthodoxy from which good-faith dissent is intolerable. We are in the midst of another such transformation, on race. Hence Mr. Biden’s bizarre self-slanders. Ideas too strange even to reject yesterday—reparations for slavery, defunding police departments, tearing down highways because their construction upended minority communities decades ago—are openly debated and embraced today. A decade from now, I wager, one or more of those ideas will appear on progressivism’s list of incontestable dogmas, and no leftist officeholder or journalist will own up to having held the wrong view only a few years before. All will be forgiven and forgotten by the clerisy of the moment. The rest of America may wonder what’s to be gained by embracing an ideology that constantly categorizes its proponents as idiots.

He could be putting his pants on his head, and if Trump is the nominee which it looks like it'll be I will vote for Biden again without thinking twice.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-...tate-department-11626900081?mod=hp_opin_pos_1 Tough Biden Talk, Little Action On Nord Stream and Chinese hacking, a message of weakness. By The Editorial Board July 21, 2021 6:42 pm ET A troubling pattern is emerging in President Biden’s foreign policy: Officials talk tough—then follow up with diplomacy that amounts to little. Two examples this week—on Chinese hacking and Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline—underscore the point. Barack Obama and Donald Trump opposed the $11 billion Nord Stream pipeline, which could double the amount of natural gas exported directly to Germany from Russia. But the Biden Administration has now blessed the project’s completion, handing Vladimir Putin a major strategic victory at the expense of Ukraine and Europe’s energy independence. The White House says the pipeline was inevitable and improving America’s relationship with the Germans should come first. But the deal with Germany is embarrassing in its weakness. In a joint U.S.-German statement on Wednesday, Berlin pledges to impose sanctions in the future “should Russia attempt to use energy as a weapon or commit further aggressive acts against Ukraine.” We can hear them laughing in the Kremlin at that one. The deal won’t go down well in Kyiv, which is struggling against Russian assaults on its territory. The country is set to lose billions in transit fees as Russian natural gas is diverted from routes that run through Ukraine. But at least “Germany commits to establish and administer a Green Fund for Ukraine to support Ukraine’s energy transition, energy efficiency, and energy security,” according to the joint statement. The U.S. and Germany say they’ll ask Russia to keep paying Ukraine. Are they kidding? Giving a revisionist power more influence over Europe’s economy doesn’t help U.S. interests. The big win for Russian gas also comes as the Administration moves to restrict fossil-fuel production in the U.S. Angela Merkel, who negotiated the deal with President Biden, soon won’t even be Chancellor. *** Meanwhile, on Monday the Administration called out China for cyber attacks and was joined by the European Union, NATO, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said “the United States and countries around the world are holding the People’s Republic of China (PRC) accountable for its pattern of irresponsible, disruptive, and destabilizing behavior in cyberspace, which poses a major threat to our economic and national security.” Accountable how? The allied powers announced no sanctions or other repercussions. A coalition against Chinese cyber attacks is nice, but not if the result is a lowest-common-denominator response—i.e., nothing. Beijing may conclude that harsh words are all the U.S. can unite its allies behind. Mr. Blinken also confirmed this week that “cyber actors affiliated with” China’s Ministry of State Security had conducted a “massive cyber espionage operation” earlier this year that “indiscriminately compromised thousands of computers and networks.” He’s referring to an attack on entities that ran their on-premise email server through Microsoft Exchange. The Chinese hackers gained access to users’ email correspondence, attachments and contacts, then launched attacks that could compromise the organization’s networks and computer systems, says Steven Adair, president of the cyber security firm Volexity, which was among the first to detect the breach. The hackers focused on traditional espionage targets, then broadened their efforts to include others in the private and public sectors, nonprofits and academia. The State Department confirms the operation “gave Chinese intelligence services the ability to access and spy on or potentially disrupt tens of thousands of computer systems worldwide.” The U.S. response this past week was to unseal an indictment against four Chinese citizens involved in another hacking campaign. The feds say that from 2011 to “at least” 2018, a provincial arm of the Ministry of State Security set up a front company that stole intellectual property, trade secrets, and other confidential information “from companies and universities involved in virus and vaccine research of the Ebola virus,” among other topics. Alas, all four are “nationals and residents” of China, and unlikely to be extradited, so the indictment’s utility as a deterrent is symbolic. Oh, and State did announce a reward of up to $10 million for information to identify cyber criminals who target the U.S. for a foreign government. No doubt that will impress the hard men at Zhongnanhai. Biden officials, including the President, believe in the power of diplomacy almost for its own sake. But diplomacy that yields only talk achieves nothing against determined adversaries with malign intentions. Appeared in the July 22, 2021, print edition.
Biden has taken a page from T. Roosevelt and for the most part has spoken softly yet is carrying a big stick.
The WSJ Editorial board can have their opinion but the PRC is more worried about Biden than they are Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/20/world/asia/china-biden.html " From China’s perspective, the blows from the United States just keep coming. Sanctions and export controls over the crackdown in Xinjiang. A warning to international businesses about the deteriorating climate in Hong Kong. The rejection of visas for students and researchers suspected of having links to the People’s Liberation Army. Now the United States has rallied a broad array of nations to accuse the Chinese Ministry of State Security not only of cyberespionage but also of hacking for profit and political intrigue. The torrent of attacks has infuriated Beijing, but six months into the tenure of President Biden, the Communist Party leadership has yet to find an effective strategy to counter the American moves. In Beijing’s view, Mr. Biden has taken a more strategic approach than his predecessor, enlisting allies to join his campaign against Chinese behavior in ways that appear to have frustrated officials. China has resorted to its usual instinct for tit-for-tat measures, while lashing out with a heavy dose of vitriol and sarcasm." More at link.
