“Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men…” —John Adams (1776)

Let me just drop this right up top: As far as Democrat Party failures go, the most obvious would be Joe Biden1. He is the Demo lemmings’ Pied Piper, the front man for the dumpster fires2 now consuming our nation. We’d be remiss if we didn’t give a big shout-out to all the dullard Demo voters who are responsible for this wreckage.

So, how to rate the biggest Biden/Harris failures when there are so many to choose from?

The most consequential of those failures would be our faltering economy.

Surging inflation3 reached 9%4 — a 40-year high5. And that number does not accurately account for the less visible proliferation of “shrinkflation6” — a term to describe prices on essential consumer products being upsized while packaging quantities or volumes are being downsized. The Producer Price Index reached whopping 11.3%7.

Biden and Harris dropped a massive inflation bomb8 on our nation with unmitigated government spending.

As a result of inflation, real hourly wages fell 4.8% in the first two years since Biden took office9, the worst since the 1970s. That is a monetary loss of $3,400 in annual wages10 per worker, or $6,800 per family in which both parents work. That’s a stiff price to avoid mean tweets11.

Recall when Biden asserted inflation was “temporary12”: “Our experts believe, and the data shows, that most of the price increases we’ve seen were expected and expected to be temporary.” All of his experts followed up by dutifully claiming that inflation was “transitory13.” But months of soaring inflation14 is neither temporary nor transitory.

As of 2024, prices on consumer goods are up cumulatively, more than 20%15 since Biden and Harris took office.

Clearly, the emperor has no clothes16, nor do his attendees. It’s no wonder our nation is in such dire straits, given that only a few of Biden’s “experts17” have any real-world business experience.

To be clear, rising inflation is the direct result of Biden’s so-called American Rescue Plan18, which dumped $1.9 trillion in taxpayer-funded graft into a $300 billion economic hole created by the COVID pandemic19 — on top of all the 2020 “COVID relief” spending already being dispensed. That excess $1.6 trillion is indisputably a major factor in the inflation now crushing family budgets20.

Apparently not satisfied, lawmakers then dumped another $1 trillion in so-called “infrastructure spending21” on the inflation pile, and Biden now wants to spend another trillion22 on his so-called Build Back Better23 boondoggle.

Don’t worry — inflation is just temporary and transitory! Surely the comparisons to Jimmy Carter24 aren’t accurate…

For the record, before Biden took office, our national economy had been dealt a severe blow by the ChiCom Virus pandemic19 — but was in a strong position to recover thanks to the pre-pandemic economic policies of Donald Trump25 and his administration. The nation was poised to make a full recovery by the time Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed26COVID vaccines27 were introduced.

There was record-low unemployment for Black and Hispanic Americans and a 50-year low for women; median household income was at a record high, while poverty was at a record low; inflation was at 1.4%, and our nation was energy independent; our borders were more secure than in decades; our international superpower standing had been restored, and our nation’s most dangerous foreign enemies were keeping their heads down, fearful of Trump.

Read that paragraph again! Seems like a lifetime ago.

On his first day in office, Biden set about reversing all of the Trump administration policies that accounted for surging American prosperity and security28.

Now, America is in trouble, and all but the most dullard Democrats know it. Biden and his socialist Democrat Party29 are thoroughly mired down30 in a deep pile of Demo dung31.

Even some of his most sycophantic talkingheads and scribes32 are turning against him, as evidenced33 by his former media allies34, including The New York Times35.

Moving down the list of Biden/Harris regime’s1 deliverables, what are their other most significant and consequential failures?

In short order, their policies have resulted in surging violent crime36 nationwide, particularly in Democrat-controlled urban centers37. That crime is most often black-on-black38, isolated within Biden’s most loyal constituency.

Biden/Harris policies have resulted in an open southern border39 and millions of illegal immigrants flooding into our country, precisely as the Demos planned40. Their commitment not to prosecute illegals41 has drawn millions who will also be shipped under cover of darkness42 to your community.

Clearly, the unprecedented invasion across our southern border is, indisputably, the fault of “Border Czar43” Harris’s ineptitude.

As this relates to the economy, I have written previously44 that illegal immigrants are deflating the wages of low- and middle-income American workers, as immigrants compete for their jobs45. The party that once claimed to represent blue-collar, union, and minority workers is now crushing them.

The border is becoming more deadly than a war zone46.

As for other blood on the hands of Biden and Harris, and those who support them, there were nearly 108,00047 overdose deaths in the U.S. last year, most from fentanyl and most of that having been muled across our southern border.

The policies of Biden and Harris have resulted in a feckless foreign policy, beginning with his deadly surrender and retreat48 from Afghanistan, and now a deadly war in Ukraine49 on NATO’s doorstep — with an emboldened Vladimir Putin50 knowing he has nothing to fear from Biden. The appeasement of Putin has been deadly for thousands of men, women and children in Ukraine51. (Recall that Harris was integrally involved52 in the administration’s surrender and retreat from Afghanistan.)

The Biden/Harris Doctrine is defined by weakness53, and the projection of that weakness is perilous. You can view an extensive list of the consequences of their ineptitude here54.

The Biden/Harris economy-crushing so-called climate change55 policies, which will do little or nothing to impact the weather, have also resulted in rising energy prices56. America is no longer energy independent, which, as any foreign policy novice could tell you, has resulted in significant undermining of our national security57.

Biden announced a “National Climate Emergency58” in order to force more of his statist policies on the nation. Notably, only one percent of Americans59 rate climate change as a top concern.

On the culture front, Biden and his Demos have devoted enormous effort undermining faith60 and family61, the foundational building blocks of American Liberty62, which is the nemesis of their statist agenda. “Pride Month63” may be over, but the Rainbow Mafia64 is never content.

Congressional Demos passed their so-called Respect for Marriage Act65, pandering to their gender-confused66 constituents.

And each new day brings another chapter of Biden’s corrupt family business67 with the ChiComs. He has reinvigorated the Red China threat68 due to the influence peddling and corruption of office69 associated with Hunter Biden70.

There is no more clear evidence of Biden/Harris policy failures, and by extension those of their Democrat Party, than Biden’s abysmal polling71, a reflection of his pathetic performance on nearly every issue that matters to Americans. The last survey in which Biden’s job approval was above 50% was a Politico-Morning Consult survey72 in August 2021, when he squeaked by with a 51% approval rating. It’s been downhill ever since.

Notably, this week, CNBC’s All-America Economic Survey73 has Biden at a record low of 30% approval on his handling of the economy. That finding is mirrored by CNN’s latest polling74.

Even though his White House press corps’ Democrat-to-Republican ratio is 12 to 175, Biden and company have been unable to move the public opinion needle back in their direction. Clearly, the wheels are coming off76 Biden’s presidency.

And the final entry of top failures— Kamala Harris’s77 polling was even lower than Biden’s78, until she booted him to the curb79 and became the 2024 candidate. Harris checked off the race, gender, and generation boxes for the Biden ticket in 2020, and there was a lot of Democrat support for the feckless non compos mentis Biden ticket because she was on it then.

As political observer Charles Hurt writes80 of Biden’s failures, “Biden gives hope to imbeciles everywhere.”

Biden certainly kept his inaugural address “unity” promise — he has unified a majority of Americans against him81. It is yet to be seen how Harris will fare.

What Demos want most is the ability to again run against Trump. And the fact that the Republican midterm election wave turned into a mere red ripple82 affirms just that.

So, what do I believe Trump should do?

He should spend all his energy in rallying his grassroots base — and then undermine the Democrats’ 2024 prospects, which are not likely to include Biden, by endorsing a younger presidential candidate who does not drag all the Trump baggage and division into the 2024 Republican primary. And considering Biden’s failing mental acuity, I note that Trump would be 78 years old Jan 2025, a year older than Ronald Reagan83 when he left office.

There is a great field of rising Republicans, and I would exclude Mike Pence, who would also drag the Trump baggage and division into 2024. At the moment, I strongly favor Ron DeSantis84, whose record is extraordinary85 and is positioned well86, paired with any number of great prospects for VP.

If Trump does not get in the way and Republicans can retake the House and Senate, they should start by impeaching Biden for wanton dereliction of duty87, failing to abide by his constitutional obligations and oath88. That won’t get anywhere because Republicans won’t control two-thirds of the Senate, but it will be irrevocably tied to the disgraceful Biden/Harris legacy.

Of course, I suspect there is nothing that would persuade Trump from running again, and given that the 2024 election is already rigged89, it will be a steep uphill climb to victory.

And a footnote for clarity: Despite Trump’s assertions to the contrary, we are not a “failing nation.” We are, a nation that has been besieged with failed administrative policies90.

Finally, let me remind those contemplating casting their vote for the Harris/Walz91 ticket, YOU can stop the bloodshed92.

The slaughter of thousands of men, women, and children in Afghanistan93, Ukraine49, and Israel94 is the direct result of the Biden/Harris regime’s lethal foreign policy ineptitude95.

The violent assaults on thousands of Americans by criminal illegal aliens96 are the direct result of “Border Czar97” Harris’s lethal open border policy39. The drug overdose deaths98 of hundreds of thousands of Americans is also the result of the Biden/Harris open border policy.

The dramatic surge99 of violent crime100 across America since 2020 is the direct result of the Biden/Harris war on cops101 and appeasement of thugs102.

The blood of all those victims is on the hands of Biden and Harris, and those who voted for them.

So let me appeal to your sense of humility and decency regarding those consequences: You now have a chance to wash their blood from your hands.

Next time you vote for a president, vote as if the lives of our Military Patriots and tens of thousands of innocent civilians depend on it.
