Our mainstream media largely ignored it, the world media did not.
Ascending the stairs of Air Force One on Friday, to fly to Georgia, President Joe Biden slipped and stumbled. Getting up, he slipped again and then fell. The scene was jolting and disquieting.
Adversaries abroad will use it as a metaphor for the decline of the last superpower to emerge from the Cold War.
And while our major media may scoff at it, there is talk all over this town about what appears to be the visibly declining physical and mental capacity of this oldest of American presidents at 78.
Biden’s press conference this coming Thursday — after the longest delay before a first full presidential press conference since Cal Coolidge — will be as closely monitored as Ronald Reagan’s second debate in 1984, after he seemed to suffer a mental lapse in his first debate with Fritz Mondale.
But now, after his legislative triumph with the enactment of his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, Joe Biden has some new problems, all of his own making.
The COVID-19 pandemic he inherited, as Nixon inherited Vietnam in 1969. But Biden and the nation were fortunate in that, by the time he took the oath, two vaccines had been approved and the shots were being given to Americans at a rate of a million doses a day.
The new crisis on America’s border, however, with record numbers of children, teenagers and families arriving and asking for asylum, is almost entirely Biden’s doing.
By trashing Donald Trump’s border controls as inhumane and promising a more compassionate policy, Biden sent word to Central and South America and the world that the U.S. borders were open again. The result is what we see nightly on TV: Migrants crossing over into the USA in record numbers, with no end in sight.
What Gov. Andrew Cuomo did to the nursing homes of New York — send COVID-positive patients back into them — Biden is doing to the USA.
Of the thousands of illegal immigrants entering our country daily, few are tested for COVID-19 before being moved into the American heartland, carrying the infection with them.
How do you control a pandemic when our 2,000-mile southern border is a crossing corridor for thousands of infected every single day?
Biden’s people call this a “challenge.” But for the country, which seemed to be pulling out of the pandemic, it is a medical and security emergency and a national crisis.
Yet, it is not only on the domestic front that Biden and his people have created for themselves new and unnecessary crises.
Biden is only two months into his presidency but already has brought U.S.-China relations to the lowest level since the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989. And he has brought U.S.-Russian relations to the lowest level since Nikita Khrushchev blew up the Paris summit of May 1960 over President Eisenhower’s refusal to apologize for the U-2 spy flight over Russia that the Soviets had shot down.
Biden is himself responsible for the poisoned relations with Russia, after telling ABC that, yes, Vladimir Putin is “a killer” whom he once told to his face that he had no “soul.”
In chilling relations with China, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has played the lead role.
Before taking office, Blinken publicly charged the Chinese government with “genocide” in its treatment of the Uighurs. He then opened the two-day Anchorage meeting with a two-minute indictment of China for its actions in Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan — and got back a blistering 20-minute Chinese counterattack. The thrust of Beijing’s response:
Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong are Chinese national territories, and how we rule there is none of America’s business. Nor do you Americans have any superior moral claim or right to sit in judgment on us, given your own record with indigenous peoples and Black Americans.
Nor do you have any right to impose your democracy or values on us, when we prefer our system and our values. As for your claim to define for the world the so-called rules-based international order, we reject that, too, and intend to erect an order based upon our interests and our values.
So, stop trying to impose your democracy on us or the rest of the world which may not want it. The U.S. delegation can speak for the United States. It does not speak for the world, much of which openly rejects it.
By calling Vladimir Putin a “killer,” Biden seems to have aborted the kind of summitry with Moscow in which Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan and Bush I engaged during the Cold War when the Soviet Union was a far more menacing and hostile power than Putin’s Russia is today.
From Biden’s behavior in his first 60 days, we already seem fated to endure years more of deepening Cold War with Russia and China.
To what end this Biden-Blinken in-your-face diplomacy?

“Why Is Biden Creating His Own Crises”? The illegal aliens, will depress wages (the Democrats and Republicans are all in bed with big business, the business round table and the Chamber of Commerce). Secondly, with the Democrats putting all of the illegal aliens on welfare, these illegals will vote for Democrats, so we will have a one party communist system. Thirdly, Biden has dementia, so he does not know what he is doing. As a result, Biden is a puppet for the deep state and the communist Democrats, who pull the strings and the puppet Biden moves.
The real question is why are “WE THE PEOPLE” standing by allowing a radical regime like biden and his democrats destroy our REPUBLIC, FREEDOMS AND CONSTITUTION. Our future, our childrens future and our way of life and the morality we used to enjoy. It is incumbent on us to fight for survival of the CONSTITUTION and freedom we gradually lost over the years due to our complancy.
BEcause too many of the people, are LEMMINGS.. Willing to allow ANY and all of these radical changes, JUST as long as they ‘keep getting theirs’..
This is joke right? … biden isn’t creating ….ANYTHING…. period! He’s totally oblivious to about 90% of what the communist occupiers are doing to destroy this country… he’s just being told what to say, do and when. The man is terribly sick… and what these evil mother dogs are doing to him is nothing more than elderly abuse.
AND this whole illegla invasion of this nation, STARTED LONG BEFORE Biden even thought to run for the white house..
Why Is Biden Creating His Own Crises?
He’s a Leftist, he doesn’t need any more of a reason.
“What Gov. Andrew Cuomo did to the nursing homes of New York — send COVID-positive patients back into them — Biden is doing to the USA.:,,,,,BINGO ! and could can bet your total bank account that the statistics reported by his criminally administered government of political prevaricators will be just as corrupted and just as deadly.
Just try Googling the US deaths reported in 2020 compared to 2019, and watch your searches go to places that have nothing to do with COVID. They are hiding the truth that LESS not more people died in 2020 and most any of the comparative years to hide the fact of a stolen election, stolen government and the plot for the elevation of a Coooooomunist Kaaaamala to the highest office in the world. One site claimed about 300,000 more in 2020,,,,about the same number of COVID unvetted illegal aliens Joe has let into the USA since taking office.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
U.S. Constitution: Article 4, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature , or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.
I do believe that this puppet president have violated his oath of office multiple time and should be removed from office and charged with treason.

Biden Spends $86 Million in Hotel Rooms for Illegal Aliens.
Illegal immigrants (invaders) are checking into ‘Hotel Biden’. Biden paid $86,000,000.00 for comfortable Hotel rooms for illegal immigrants. BUT he put our U.S. National Guard in DC into parking garages with no sanitation facilities or proper food. This is the Democrat Socialist Party that we allowed to manipulate and steal the presidential election. We the People are going to pay dearly for allowing this dishonorable, dishonest, traitorous Democrat Socialist Party to RULE or country.
RULE AND RUIN.
More and more, it seems being a Citizen of this nation, is a CURSE, not a benefit.
Every mayor of every city in the United States who finds these newly Biden imported illegal aliens being dropped unvetted into their cities should have their local police round them up in vans, drive them directly to Washington D.C. and drop them off right in front of the Whitehoouse. IIn california’s case, right in front of Nancy Peolosi’s home residence. Let Washington D.C. blacks who all voted Biden into office have to deal with their neighborhoods being turned into tent cities, and their children when they finally get let back into the scoolroom find their kids surrounded by 15 illegale alien children who cannot speak english, and eat up all the social benefits designed to disadvantaged legitimate Black Americans. Time we strart dividing and conquering THEM according to race.
Hell. How’s about have the local police, BLOCK THE ROADS INTO those towns.
Joe Biden is totally incompetent. He and his administration dismantled working processes out of total hatred toward his predecessor. It is ironic that the president with the most Washington experience in history has left a trail of failures so far during his time in office.
Each day it becomes increasingly apparent that Joe Biden lacks the competence to serve as president. What a sad closing chapter for Joe Biden. Those who encouraged him to enter the presidential race should be ashamed of themselves. They should have allowed the final chapter of his political career have been his service as Vice President.
What is equally bad is that his Vice President withdrew from the Democrat primary after she realized she had no chance of winning the Democrat primary. She ended up getting a whopping 844 votes. She is likely to be a bigger disaster than Joe Biden is.
like I said…elderly abuse… as for cameltoe… she’s just evil nothing more… nothing less
AND Jill, is just as EVIL< for letting this occur.
Obiden is satans puppet.
Because his puppet masters say so.
To what end this Biden-Blinken in-your-face diplomacy?
We’ll have to circle back to that. I would refer you to the president Kamala Harris.
A classic Hobson’s choice: as bad as Biden is, I wish him health, because what comes after him would be even worse.
HOW do you know she is not ALREADY THE ONE IN CHARGE?
WHY? It’s simple…. Biden and his Marxist Deep State handlers hate Real Americans.
Senile Joe doesn’t even know what a border is or where it’s at. “Border crisis? Duh, did anyone fix the stairs on the airplane, yet.” said the stupid clumsy senile piece of raw sewage.
Democrats have a long history of creating problems so they can pretend to be solving them. This helps their pretense of being for the working Americans.
The “crisis” on the border is a brilliant way to ensure a one party system. They open borders and allow as many people as possible flood into the United States. Then they make sure HB 1 passes in the Senate. Notice how “illegals” are being “moved” to other US areas. These just happen to be in Red States. Once that occurs they can then use these new arrivals to turn those States blue.
IMO EVERYTHING the left’s been doing since trump won, was designed to guarantee a ONE PARTY system (THEIRS!).
From going after our guns, to importing illegals, to literally SHREDDING the constitution in regards to voting…
The main crises Biden has is making it to the toilet before he pees his pants. Biden is a crisis. He has always been a crisis. He was a crisis before he was elected and he will be a crisis for the rest of his life. Any American that really voted for this numb skull is either stupid or insane. They should be ashamed of themselves but they’re not.
