The three-ring circus that has become the Biden administration’s policies stopped being funny months ago. Today, Biden’s policies relating to America’s security are deadly serious. In 1738, Jonathan Swift wrote in Polite Conversation, “There are none so blind as those who will not see.” These words are prophetic as they relate to Biden and his clueless minions.

Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates in his book published in 2014 commented of Joe Biden, “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” Biden has now failed for another decade, stretching his losing streak into five decades.

In just two years, Biden has been blind to every national security threat we’ve faced; or, even more scary, he chooses not to see how vulnerable we are to our enemies. Here are some highlights.

Our southern border is gone. It’s not the least bit under control. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas should be impeached for his failure to keep us safe. It’s believed nearly five million illegal immigrants from nearly 160 countries have walked into the country. “Gotaways” are believed to be close to one million in just two years! We have two more years of this incompetence to go.

Hundreds of those on the terror watch list have been stopped at the border. How many were not caught? How many terrorists does it take to commit an act that could bring America to its knees? Seems like I remember it only took 19 back in 2001. Yet Biden and Mayorkas don’t seem to be the least bit concerned.

First, China declared war on us by releasing a worldwide pandemic that killed over one million Americans. Then China began sending huge amounts of fentanyl to Mexico to be processed and sent across the border by criminal cartels. For the past three years, deaths by drug overdoses have exceeded 100,000 per year, and that number will continue to grow. Joe’s response to China killing our children? Crickets!

Biden met recently with the dictator from the north, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and the failed president of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Mexico is rapidly spinning out of control. We have a failed state on our southern border. Mexico has no control of vast portions of its own country. The cartels control much of the nation. It would be a reasonable question to ask, who is accommodating whom? Do the cartels allow Obrador to exist, or does he turn a blind eye to the cartels for financial reasons? Inquiring minds want to know!

So, when these mental midgets met, did they discuss issues of national security — the flow of illegal drugs, sex trafficking, or gang violence? No, they didn’t. The Green New Deal was at the top of the agenda. The cartels weren’t even on their radar, nor was the deadly fentanyl crisis. Oh, don’t forget “equity, diversity, and inclusion.” That’ll stop those cartels!

What will it take for Biden to see the threat to our nation from the world’s bad actors? Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi only see weakness in our president. The sharks smell the blood in the water. Showing weakness to your enemies is never a good thing.

Something to think about!
