The Patriot Post® · 100 Days of 'Unity'

Joe Biden is no Donald Trump. Breaking news, we know. That was a feature, not a bug, for 81 million Americans in the 2020 election, however many asterisks come with that vote total. As President Joe “Unity” Biden marks 100 days in office, let’s check in on some of the big differences.

But first, we’ll preface it by saying that Biden was elected on an unearned reputation as a moderate and as a competent man who could calm the chaos of the Trump years. The truth is that Biden’s a party man, and his party is decidedly and radically left-wing these days. As for competence, well, let’s just say the 78-year-old non compos mentis Biden is not really the one running the show. We suspect it’s often President-in-Waiting Kamala Harris.

The Biden-Harris administration’s work so far has primarily been to undo the myriad achievements of the Trump-Pence administration, whether in the domestic or foreign policy arenas.

The ChiCom Virus pandemic is one example where Biden hasn’t so much undone President Trump’s work as dishonestly claimed credit for it. The prevailing example of that is the COVID vaccine. Biden made grand-sounding pledges and boasted of vaccine successes that in reality were merely taking the baton he was given. All he had to do was not screw up the plan.

Political analyst Ben Domenech observed: The first 100 days of this administration" were replete with “an enormous amount of anti-scientific activity.” He declared, “Dr. Anthony Fauci, the moment he came out last year and said that we needed to shut down schools, he should have been fired.” Regarding the absurd masking mandates, he added, “When we look at this administration, the way they’ve treated this whole thing has amounted to a huge amount of theater, as opposed to actual science. When the president comes out with a mask over, and over, and over again, he sends the message implicitly that if you get vaccinated, nothing will change.”

Perhaps the biggest exception was rejoining the World Heath Organization, the lying Chinese puppet that Trump wisely left.

When it comes to the economy, Biden has used the pandemic as an excuse to expand Big Government income redistribution. Whether the direct payments most Americans received, pausing student loan payments, restricting evictions and foreclosures, or just straight up taxpayer giveaways to leftist constituent groups, the Biden-Harris administration is using the coronavirus as the justification for massive transfers of wealth. Next up will be tax hikes galore, all on the premise of “fairness” (read: envy).

On climate change, which leftists insist is the biggest crisis facing the world, Team Biden-Harris has been particularly destructive. From destroying the Keystone Pipeline (and thousands of good jobs) to rejoining the Paris Agreement to pushing the Green New Deal, “moderate” Joe is merely enacting the ecofascists’ agenda to remake the economy in the name of slowing a small projected increase in global temperatures.

The biggest changes have come on the immigration front. Whereas climate is largely a manufactured crisis, immigration has become a created one. By summarily overturning many of Trump’s rules or actions on refugees, asylum, building a border wall, or practicing enforcement in general, Biden has generated a border crisis that neither he nor his lackeys in the Leftmedia will honestly address. And his “border czar,” Kamala Harris, isn’t going anywhere near the border — or the press for that matter.

We haven’t the space here to discuss guns, packing the Supreme Court and the Senate, HR 1, “infrastructure,” the sickening racism of the Left, or a host of other things Biden is doing.

“Unity”? Biden certainly made a show of pledging it during his Inaugural Address. But with all of the above and more, it’s hard to find him even half-heartedly trying to foster it. He’s routinely shunned Republican input, and everything of consequence Congress has done has been without any or almost any GOP support.

“If I look at the 100 days, it’s more like a bait-and-switch,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. President Biden has “governed as a socialist.”

Don’t take his word for it. Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gives Biden kudos because he has “definitely exceeded expectations” in terms of “collaboration with progressives.” That could be called a lot of things. “Unity” isn’t one of them.
