| Fellow American, As we approach the advent of the New Year, I think it’s important we reflect on the past year. That means, taking stock of the first year under the reign of Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi – or as I’m going to call it, the ’12 Biden Blunders of Christmas.’ Help me stop their blunders Fellow American. The first blunder Joe Biden gave to us is a ‘free’ big government socialist agenda, otherwise known as the Democrats’ Build Back Better plan. Trillions of dollars will be wasted, inflation will soar higher, and our debt will grow recklessly. The second blunder Joe Biden gave to us is hiding from media reporters and not taking questions. Biden has the responsibility to be accessible and the media has the responsibility to demand it of him. The third blunder Joe Biden gave to us is the White House deciding what is “misinformation.” In a news conference, Jen Psaki said ‘We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation. It sounds an awful lot like the United States government colluding with the media to decide what counts as fact. If this seems Orwellian, well, it is. The fourth blunder Joe Biden gave to us is raging inflation from pumping trillions of ‘free’ dollars into the economy. Now Democrats want to spend nearly $5 trillion on their Build Back Broke plan. To put these massive numbers in perspective, the sum of just these two bills is more than the United States government spent fighting World War II. The fifth blunder Joe Biden’s Cabinet gave to us is the southern border crisis. Remember the hordes of illegal immigrants camping out under the bridge in Del Rio, Texas? Don’t worry, Secretary Mayorkas said as he lowballed the numbers citing ‘approximately, I think, it’s about 10,000 or so, 12,000. It could be even higher.’ Even conservative estimates have the tally upwards of 15,000 people. It is a national crisis. The sixth blunder Joe Biden gave to us is a new kind of border wall. Not the wall we need to secure the crisis on the southern border which has seen record numbers – as nearly two million people have attempted to enter the country illegally under Biden’s watch. According to Secretary Mayorkas, a border wall is an “affront to humanitarian relief.” Obviously, the ranchers and the innocent American citizens living and working near the border don’t qualify for this humanitarian relief. The seventh blunder Joe Biden gave to us are $450,000 settlements for illegal immigrants, just for being illegal. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report this absurd plan. The last thing we need is another incentive for people to come to our country illegally. The eighth blunder Joe Biden gave to us is private jet-setting, climate apologist John Kerry’s comments on coal. Kerry stated, “By 2030 in the United States we won’t have coal... We will not have coal plants.” It’s absurd on its face. Cutting off coal would shut down American innovation, kill all the progress we made on carbon-capture technology, eliminate good-paying jobs, scrap grid reliability and increase the cost of energy. Canceling coal is merely a transfer of emissions guilt to other countries with dirtier energy production than we have. The ninth blunder Joe Biden gave to us is moral authority and other gaffes from Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. Most notably, Secretary Granholm while in North Dakota no less said, “We don’t have much moral authority to call out China when it comes to energy production and emissions.” This is not just wrong, it’s embarrassing. It’s not just an intellectual mistake, it is an embarrassing gaffe. The stringent environmental and I might add labor standards of the United States are far superior to the lack of any of them in China. The tenth blunder Joe Biden gave to us is a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. This withdrawal was nothing short of a tragic disaster and an international embarrassment. We will continue searching for answers and accountability from the Administration. Biden said his Administration would get all Americans and our allies out of the country ahead of his arbitrary August 31st withdrawal deadline. He also said the U.S. will stay in Afghanistan until all Americans who want to leave can do so. This is obviously not what happened. After the botched withdrawal the State Department believes that as many as 14,000 legal permanent residents remain in Afghanistan according to a Foreign Policy press report. The eleventh blunder Joe Biden gave to us is welcoming stiff competition with China. In October, Jen Psaki was asked about the Chinese Communist Party’s hypersonic missile tests successfully circumventing the whole globe, which from reports indicate they’re capable of delivering a nuclear warhead. Her response, “Oh, we welcome stiff competition.” Really? Why would the White House welcome military competition from our peer adversary communist China? The twelfth blunder Joe Biden gave to us is the consistent confusion and alarm in regards to his own comments about Taiwan. In October, Joe Biden told reporters, “I’ve spoken with Xi [Jinping] about Taiwan. We agree, we will abide by the Taiwan agreement.” Taiwan is a strategic ally and an important trading partner to the United States, especially given the increased risk China poses not only to the region but to the world. If this was an isolated incident, it would be one thing, but this isn’t the only time his comments on Taiwan had to be clarified. In a CNN town hall, Anderson Cooper interrupted the President to ask if Biden was saying “the U.S. would come to Taiwan’s defense if China attacked?” Joe Biden promptly responded with, “Yes, we have a commitment.” One Washington Post article wrote, “Most analysts believe simply that Biden misspoke.” If there were to be an attack, I’m not even sure the President would know what to do if he can’t accurately express what our policy is. We need to stop Joe Biden and his left-wing extremist allies. Will you help the Senate GOP and I restore conservative leadership to our country? Thank you, Kevin Cramer |
