America last
In May 2020, then-candidate Biden stated in an interview, "If you are Black and don't vote for me, then you ain't Black." It was an insult to every Black voter in this country.
On Feb. 17, 2021, Biden claimed "we didn't have a COVID vaccine when he took office." Yet he received his vaccine on Dec. 21, 2020.
In March of this year, Vice-President Kamala Harris was asked if she planned to go to the southern border, to which she laughed and replied "And I haven't been to Europe either." An arrogant answer to a perfectly legitimate question.
On Aug. 6 of this year, Biden claimed that the surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan was an "extraordinary success." What?
From mid-August to mid-October Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg went on paternal leave since he and his husband adopted two children. I am happy for them. But this took place while the biggest supply chain crisis to hit the U.S. was going on. Really?
On Nov. 6, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked what the Biden administration is planning to do about high gas prices. She threw her head back with laughter and said "that is hilarious," saying that only OPEC controls prices. And this after the Biden administration shut down a domestic pipeline and suspended any new domestic pipeline construction on federal land while supporting a Russian pipeline to Europe. What's wrong with this picture?
Trump certainly has his faults but he did put America first in his policies. But, then again, what American citizen would want America to be energy independent? What American citizen would want to have the lowest unemployment rates ever for minority groups? What American citizen would want to have policies that controlled illegal immigration? That's crazy.
