The Root Cause of Today's Problems 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The article posted here is the authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google

The very nature of the word “problem” itself...whether it be an individual's personal problem or a generalized all encompassing political problem...usually implies that a specific situation has gone against what is considered to be the accepted “norm,” and thus must be either resolved in full or at least tempered down to some degree via what is known as “compromise,” a seemingly “dirty word” in relation to today's political discourse.

And while the word “problem,” vernacular wise, does tend to encompass the sum of American politics no matter which political party one aligns themselves with, said “problem” more times than not has its basis in a commonality that is either willingly being ignored by one party or simply not being addressed by the other party out of fear of facing what are sure to come ramifications. And while most Republicans rightfully feel that today's Democrat party has lost all vestiges of what is both “common sense” and “rational thinking,” thus leaving them in multi-stages of chaos, misdirection, and an uncertain political future; most Democrat's feel that the Republican party is not willing enough, not open minded enough, in its thinking to even try to understand why they deem the concept of “inclusion” to be so important.

But no matter the two parties current differences, the root cause of all the“problems” we as a nation still face today, whether we be Republicans or Democrats...I believe... remains the same, as in one Barack Hussein Obama, America's 44th president, whose platform when running for office was “Hope and Change” which when elected morphed into the “fundamental transformation of America.” And this in turn set into motion not only what became known as the “weakest recovery from a recession in modern American history,” but all the hate, divisiveness, and anger that follow us to this day. How so...because the America Obama led for eight years was then and remains now, vastly different than the America he inherited, but obviously not in a good sense for his presidency heralded in extreme social, demographic, and cultural changes that caused tenuous shifts in both government policy and in the “court of public opinion.”

Known also in some Democrat circles as the “Father of DEI,” Obama started said transformation by establishing “The Diversity & Inclusion Council” via “Executive Order 13583,” beginning with the infamous  Department of Education...and not surprisingly we all know how well that turned out now don't we. And while Obama claimed that DEI would, “lead us down the path to true equality,” DEI instead turned out to be a guise for anything but “equality” as skin color and misguided sexual deviations overrode not just common sense, but merit based qualifications in both educational endeavors and in the public work force hiring.

And again, America's current troubles were courtesy of the“media anointed” first black president...a misnomer to begin with as Barack Hussein Obama technically is of “mixed race”...or what's scientifically classified as “bi-racial”...as his mother was white and his father black...yet he still deliberately ripped open what was, at the time, healing racial wounds. How so...by his outwardly embracing radically dangerous groups like “Black Lives Matter” and “Antifa” while turning black criminals...like Michael Brown, George Floyd, and the infamous, “If I had a son...” Trayvon Martin...into heroes and victims simply because their skin color was black.

And while Obama's supposed “blackness” was and does remain his true driving force, his political ineptitude while in office led to more Americans receiving government aid...aka “welfare”...then working full-time, thus creating a new generation of “welfare dependent” individuals, which unfortunately continues to this day. Remember too, that it was Obama who, in 2012, helped shield from deportation over 1.2 million so called “Dreamers”....as in children brought to our country at a young age and whose families our taxpayer dollars helped to support...as well as his 2014 spending of our monies on five million then called “undocumented residents.” Simply, Obama loved spending what was our hard earned taxpayer dollars on individuals that it should never have been spent on.

And dare not forget that Obama's answer to all America's money “problems”...“problems” including his putting us on a so-called “fiscal cliff” by having added $6.5+ trillion dollars to the then national debt...was simply to “print more money,” never mind the fact that the needed “treasure” to back it up was simply not there.

And while Americans were financially hurting at the same time the printing presses were merrily rolling along, Obama relished in shoving his namesake piece of legislation known as “ObamaCare” down American's collective throats.

“ObamaCare”...the healthcare disaster that was then and still remains now in the hands of “pencil pushing” bureaucrats instead of seeing an individuals doctor/patient relationship deciding what should be the logistics of ones healthcare plan. Simply put, “Obamacare” is but another name for government controlled healthcare for the masses that comes replete, yet unknown to most, with its own dirty little secrets...secrets such as the fact that “Obamacare” made it all but impossible for millions of hard working Americans to keep what was their individual or employee-sponsored group health insurance, and led to hundreds of thousands...possibly millions...of workers losing what was full-time, good paying jobs. How so...because the actual healthcare costs dictated by “Obamacare”..as in the costs carried by one's employer...literally became unsustainable for most business owners/employers to bear, especially when an additional “destructive tax” on all medical devices was added into the mix.

And not to be forgotten is Obama's what some call “foreign policy blunders,” but what I call his back-stabbing traitorous actions...a list that truly did go from bad to worse with number one on said list being:

1. Obama's infamous “I Apologize for America” tours based upon his utter and total disdain for our U.S. armed forces even when being deployed on behalf of our national interests.

2. The disaster known as “Benghazi” which cost U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and C.I.A. Operatives Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty their lives, and whose blood is clearly on Obama's and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's hands.

3. Obama's ever so proudly signing what was the the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” ...useless U.N. nonsense that has done absolutely nothing to stop or even deter Iran's nuclear ambition

4, Obama's ever infamous five Taliban terrorists for one American traitor deal.

5. Obama's too numerous backstabbing betrayals of the Jewish State of Israel who is America's staunchest ally.

6. Obama's exposing his true “personal allegiance” with these 15 words, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

7. Obama's secret middle of the night deal where he sent $400 million dollars in cash to Iran, then as is now the world's leading sponsor of terrorism...while knowing well that said monies would likely be used to increase funding to their proxy armies...armies like Hamas and Hezbollah...in their quest to wipe Israel off the map.

And these seven “foreign policy blunders” along with the previously stated domestic based “problems” lying at his feet, are just the proverbial “tip of the iceberg” in regards to all the harm this one man has done to both our beloved America and “We the American People.” But to make it all even worse is the fact that not one of our duly elected officials, to date, has officially and publicly called Obama to task “on the record,” let alone charged him with any (I believe ) crime committed. Getting away with murder so to speak, Obama has not even been held accountable for any of the damage that he has caused out country. And why...in my opinion...it's because of fear of the “race card” once again coming into play.

Remember, to most people using “common sense” skin color means nothing...but to Obama and his minions skin color was, is, and will always remain everything to them as it helps to focus their hate to a point where pulling out the “race card” becomes the answer to their “problems.” How so...because most people will do every and anything not to be seen as being “racist.” And besides, those folks whose entire existence is defined by one's skin color, and their “self perceived” definition of “inequities,” do tend to reach for the “race card” when facts, reality, and truth gets in the way of what is actually their anti-American agenda.

And why so...because for a man like Obama who wasn't “white enough” to “pass” while growing up, he embraced his having been socially deemed to be black, after all it gave him the coveted chance to be “anointed” as America's “first black president.” And in the symbolic nature of his having fully erased his white half, Obama was able to openly embrace the radical left's “Black agenda” replete with the implementation of “white guilt.” And sadly, because a sizeable number of very vocal people “of color” continued to think about the color of their skin upon first awakening in the morning and as the last thing before going to bed at night, Obama had a dedicated group of supporters who would do and say anything to help rip open the aforementioned, once healing, racial wounds.

Also, remember that while the sum total of Obama's presidency was one of putting the wants and needs of our enemies over America herself; over “We the American People;” as well as over our country's allies and friends; it was “We the People” who suffered through eight long years of Obama shoving his race driven and overtly anti-America agenda down our collective throats. And yet Republican leaders still have done nothing of substance about it. And why...because the only logical explanation can be is that they still fear being called “racist” in both the still leftist controlled media and in the court of public opinion no matter that Trump is now, thankfully, in charge.

And while Donald Trump, during his first term as president, did try to expose the truth about Obama, his administration, and all the harm he and they did to our country, Obama...in my opinion...was able to gather together the components that became the infamous “Trump witch hunt.” And in Obama's successfully doing so, along with his knowing that Republican leaders would fear his using the “race card” against them, the stage was set for Obama's third term in office. 

Remember, it was obvious to many...even before Joe Biden's physical and mental health decline became obvious...that Obama would be the one running the country. And this scenario was proven true when Biden's policies mirrored that of Obama's...not unlike two ships passing in the night...replete with a not so healthy dose of manufactured DEI policies and calls of racism being thrown in for good...or should I say bad...measure.

And so...in my opinion...the man who relished in“aiding and abetting” our nation's enemies...the man to whom “bipartisanship” was a dirty word...the man whose promised “immigration reform” turned into our open “free for all” southern border fiasco...the man who deemed “globalism” superior to “America First”...and the man whose inner racist self relished in seeing American cities burning and lives and businesses being destroyed in the name of black criminals...actually remains the shadow now hanging over all the “problems” President Trump is trying to fix today. But until the “problem” source itself is outwardly called to task...until Barack Obama is so charged and sentence adjudicated...this man will continue on to try to get what would be his “fourth term” in office. Case closed.

Commonalities Shared, Differences Be Damned

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google.   

 

“For all their differences in temperament and style there’s a deeper continuity in the beliefs of our 40th and 45th presidents.”

- Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark) in a March 8. 2022 speech at the Reagan Presidential Library

The great Ronald Reagan, in my opinion, was the best president of the 20th century...Donald J. Trump might well be the best in this the 21st century, obviously only time itself will tell. And while both men are molded in the “populist” based tradition of “law and order,” the two men are quite different in temperament, personality, and governing style. However, both Reagan (our 40th and 41st president) and Trump {our 45th and now our 47th president) not only championed states rights, but both men had a deep distrust of “big government” bureaucracy. 

And with both men embracing the concept of MAGA...as in “Make America Great Again,” know that the MAGA acronym was first coined by Ronald Reagan as “Let's Make America Great Again” (LMAGA) and used it in his 1980 successful campaign for the presidency, while Trump dropped the word “Let's” first in 2016, then in 2020, and now in 2024.

Two great men, two great presidents, one an orator bar none, the other speaking more in line with today's common vernacular. In fact, to me, Reagan's “Challenger” speech embodies presidential emotion and pride in American exceptionalism like no other, while with but six little words spoken, “Mr. Gorbechev tear down this wall,” he geo-politically realigned both Europe and the world. And while Donald Trump is not nearly as polished a speaker as Reagan...few ever will be nor does Trump have to be...Trump had his shining moment with but three little words spoken...spoken as blood dripped down his face...“fight, fight, fight”...three little words more powerful than any campaign speech to date.

 

 

 

To me, Donald J. Trump is the common man's Ronald Reagan orator wise if you will, but Trump did shine bright in a CPAC speech given seven years ago when he first spoke about the “forgotten men and women of America”...the very men and women who are the “backbone” of our great nation...as in America's working/middle class citizens...the very men and women that the Biden/Harris administration lost complete touch with, thus rightfully costing the Democrats the 2024 election.

 

And this identifying with America's seemingly forgotten middle class...even though Ronald Reagan was then and Donald Trump is now anything but middle class...both men let their core conservative values and belief in American exceptionalism take center stage in an attempt to unite together the different factions within the Republican party. 

And while both men traveled similar yet different paths to reach the same destination...remember both Reagan and Trump were originally Democrats...Reagan's path was then forged courtesy of his “Eleventh Commandment,” as in “do not to speak ill of your fellow Republicans”...simply, do try to put your “differences” aside in the name of “party unity”... while Trump, even with all his silly name calling of those Republicans who dared to oppose him, was still able to accomplish the same final goal as Reagan by his circling the Republican party faithful around him courtesy of the economic and foreign policy successes of his first term in office.

So while Trump did fail to garner a consecutive term in office...and we all know why... Reagan easily did. But as events continue to unfold, I've come to believe that the break in continuity has now worked in Trump's and “We the People's” favor. How so...first by allowing Trump the time needed to not only expose both the hypocrisy and the tactics used by the Democrat party's hierarchy to hold onto the reigns of power...and do so by any and every means possible legal or not...but it also helped to set the stage for showing how Ronald Reagan was the right man for his time, and that Donald J. Trump is truly the right man for today's time.

And the similarities continue on with both men leading a nationwide turn to the right. For Reagan it was courtesy of the abject failed economic and foreign policy agenda of his predecessor, Jimmy Carter, which easily allowed him to turn Carter's negatives into his landslide election win. Remember, not only did the Carter years see the energy crisis of 1979...which was due to massive Middle East oil price hikes...directly lead to an increase in cost-of-living expenses, which culminated in the recession of 1980 all thanks to what was then double-digit inflation. Simply, Jimmy Carter's economic polices were a complete failure, and it took “Reganomics”...replete with major tax cuts...to help turn our economy around. And not to be forgotten is Carter's owning the foreign policy disaster that was the “Iranian Hostage Crisis”*...a crisis which Reagan used as rightful political ammunition to help him win his first presidential election.

Now here the similarities between the two men continues on for while the mid-to-late 1970”s were mired down in Carter's economic and foreign policy disasters...only to turned around courtesy of “Reaganomics”...we today are the victims of “Bidenonomics”...an economic plan that was doomed to fail for it did not understand nor take into account the wants and needs of average middle class American citizens. But thankfully, Donald Trump was the recipient of a “red tsunami” win based primarily upon the economic successes of his first administration. Energy independence, low inflation, sanity at the gas pump and in our supermarkets, proved we were indeed better off four years ago than we are today.

Simply, few were buying into what Jimmy Carter...the man politically deemed a “weak and ineffectual president”...was trying to sell then, leaving Reagan to be elected in a “red tsunami” of his own; just like now when few bought into what Kamala Harris was trying to sell, as proven by Trump's overwhelming win. A decidedly countrywide shift to the right for both Reagan and Trump primarily, but not completely due to their successful economic policies with their foreign policy stances being icing on the proverbial cake.

Reagan was aided in his win by the ongoing “Iranian Hostage Crisis,” a crisis Carter was ill-prepared for; and in his second term Reagan's well tempered oratory skills and his mastery of diplomacy led to not just the tearing down of the Berlin Wall but the collapse of the Soviet Union as well. And in his contest against Harris, Trump was aided in his win by Biden's disastrous pullout of Afghanistan; Biden's seemingly endless blank check to help Ukraine fight its war against Putin's Russia, and the Middle East War between Israel and Iran...remember, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi's are just proxy armies of Iran.

Simply, our country was weary of war during Reagan's time...we were just a few years out of the end of the nightmare that was the Vietnam War...coupled with the fact that the hostage crisis had gone on for way too long. And now during this, what will be Trump's second term in office, we find ourselves facing maniacs...especially the mullahs in Iran...who are hell bent on not just starting World War III, but reshaping and realigning the world's geopolitical map to where individual nations take second place to sought after globalization under the auspices of a “one world” dictatorial style government.

 

And yet even with this above stated fact, what these two men truly have in common is that both Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump fully embraced and more importantly did understand the concepts of not only “peace though strength,” but also the great need to prioritize both our military and to put America, our American interests, and America's safety first. That cannot be said of Jimmy Carter then nor of Joe Biden now, and most especially it cannot be said of Kamala Harris, as easily witnessed by her failed campaign agenda and its overtly weak and extremely lopsided political alliances.

And here it's also important to remember that both Reagan and Trump were and are of the belief that their predecessors were politically naive and that naivety in and of itself is dangerous by design...dangerous to not only hoped for diplomacy but dangerous to both the applications of the law and to our Constitution itself. Simply, what Reagan worked for then and what Trump is working for now is not just to make America herself great again via a rebirth and pride in American exceptionalism, but to solidify America’s standing on the world stage as both the number one superpower as well as being the true leader and broker of world peace.

So what then are the main differences between these two great men...these two great presidents? While their overall political and policy differences are not many, their differences personality wise are clearly more well defined and telling. Here are the four main differences that, to me, do stand out, but at the same do not diminish either man's greatness.

• First, Ronald Reagan, as president, was way more tolerant of those within the Republican party who disagreed with him, and was more willing to listen to and at least entertain other points of view even from the Democrat side of the aisle; while to disagree with Trump on almost any topic sometimes left one open to a barrage of silly name-calling with a political dismissal of sorts.

• Second, while Donald Trump is still viewed by many Democrats and even by some in the Republican party as being more “extreme” in his ideologies and communication style, Reagan is viewed by many as being a man more “establishment” in his overall demeanor, political presentation, and style wise.

• Third, while Trump demands unwavering personal loyalty to Trump the man, Reagan was more insistent on loyalty to the Republican party then he ever was to himself.

• And lastly, political vendetta's needing to be settled was never part of who Reagan was either as president or personally, but it is a part of Trump the man. But in Trump's defense I must say it's rightly so for no president has ever had to face a political witch hunt on the scale that this man has.

And so I end with these two quotes from each man's first inauguration speeches...quotes that while not as well known as others do clearly show how both Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald J. Trump truly define what constitutes a deep love for this country, a pride in our people; and American exceptionalism at it's very best. 

First President Reagan... “If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on earth. - 1981

Now President Trump...“It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.” - 2017

And here may I say, “God Bless America...today, tomorrow, and always.” Case closed.

_______________________________________________________________

* Briefly, the “Iranian Hostage Crisis” began in October 1979, when a group of armed, militant, Iranian college students...who supported the “Iranian Revolution”...attacked the U.S. Embassy in Tehran after the overthrown of the Shah Mohamad Reza Pahlavi. The U.S. allied Shah had been granted asylum to came to the U.S. for cancer treatment during this time but the revolution's leaders wanted him back to stand trial. In total, 53 U.S. diplomats and citizens were held hostage from November 4, 1979 to their release on January 20, 1981...the day when Ronald Reagan was sworn in as our 40th president.

Op-ed:

A Failed Presidency Exposed

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

Three and half weeks of escapism goes by way too quickly especially when it's your older son's destination wedding/vacation. But now it's time for me to get back to the real world and once again face the fact that the Democrats and their media cohorts...the very party and its propaganda arm who still refuse to acknowledge the differences between a man and a woman...continues on with the same old tired distractions from before I left. And it's all in a misguided yet ever so divisive attempt to divert our attention away from the undeniable fact that Joe Biden's presidency...his objectives, his policies, and his agenda...remains a total disaster, something we must focus on as the mid-term election draws near.

And said disaster encompasses both domestic and foreign policy issues. First, Biden's domestic disasters see soaring gas prices blatantly being manipulated to fall back down as the midterm election draws near while he ignores the basic principle of “supply and demand;” and the now 40-year high in across-the-board inflation shows no sign of abating any time soon. Couple that with continuing supply chain shortages (with baby formula supplies reported to be worse off now than they were four months ago), and sadly recession has become the new reality as the GDP fell another 0.9% in the second quarter of this year, leaving one to easily see how our economy under Joe Biden is simply, to put it mildly, a mess.

But how could it not be when the ongoing crisis at our southern border is helping to drain our government's monetary coffers what with almost two million folks with their hands out for the Democrats promised “free stuff” having crossed our border ILLEGALLY last year alone with almost that many crossing this year, to date, as I write this. And yet DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas still claims that the border is highly secure and “getting securer by the day” while border patrol agents themselves state that, “Hundreds of thousands crossing every month is not the definition of secure,” and that, “They are liars and anyone who believes them are fools.” Could not have said it any better myself.

And surely not to be forgotten are the issues of “domestic terrorism” and supposed “insurrection” lurking not so silently in the background. And while “insurrection” coupled with “domestic terrorism” truly does come in the guise of government hating, America defaming groups like Antifa and BLM, remember as fact that neither group has yet to be called to task for the rioting, looting, mayhem, murder, and the burning of American cities all done in their name, let alone their outright government subversive agenda... true “insurrection” that's willingly being overlooked by their Democrat naysayers. 

And yet we only hear the word “insurrection” in regards to the “Trump Impeachment Hearings Part 3” otherwise known as the “unfair and unbalanced” televised House January 6th hearings. And really, how can the word “insurrection” even be bantered about in regards to January 6th when no one who was arrested or tried, to date, has had the charge of “insurrection” being levied against them, especially when many who were present claimed that the Capitol police quite willingly opened the Capitol doors to let the protesters in.

Also on Biden's failed domestic front we continue to see crime figures soaring as America's streets are turning red with the blood of innocent victims what with the police still being ordered to “stand down.” And while some in the political arena are now calling for a “refunding” of the police, their voices are being drowned out by those whose hatred of the police still runs as deep as the color of their skin. It's no wonder why we need the Second Amendment now more than ever before, after all we need a means by which to defend ourselves and our families, because if the police can't or won't do it we must do it ourselves. And with the rise in gun violence coupled with the federal government acting more like the Gestapo incarnate, perpetrators of crimes are turned into heroes or victims while crimes true victims are barely given lip-service at all.

And here let's separate gun violence into two categories with the first being when a firearm is used in the process of committing a crime, like robbery for example, from that what's now referred to as “mass shootings” where killing is done for killing's sake alone. To try and take firearms away from both petty criminals and we law abiding citizens while not addressing the mental issues of those who commit mass shootings does no good at all for firearms...for guns...will not only always be gotten by those hell bent on doing bodily harm, but those of us “behind every blade of grass” will not nor must not give up our firearms willingly for to do so will lead directly to the downfall of American freedoms. Remember, it's only those of unsound mind who commit mass shootings, and besides guns themselves do not kill people...people knowingly and willingly kill people...gun free zones be damned.

And lastly on the domestic front, for this article anyway, we continue seeing both abortion and Covid on the front pages. So while Democrats are up-in-arms (pun intended) over the fact that their sanctioned killing of babies in the womb has been dealt a not unexpected blow with the SCOTUS' overturning of Roe v. Wade, Covid fear-mongering lingers on as Joe Biden, the man who just a year ago said, “You’re not gonna get Covid if you get the shots,” has (as I write this) Covid himself. Quite telling I'd say as “our bodies ourselves” in liberal-speak matters only when the killing of unborn babies is involved while the willingly “unjabbed” (like me) still remain healthy and Covid free. 

Now, as if on cue, enter Monkey Pox...the newest disease de jour...what with Covid scare tactics starting to wane.

And as for Biden's ongoing foreign policy disasters...of which I will highlight but a few...we must start with his foolishly ordered unilateral Afghanistan withdrawal that never should have been, most especially under what was then the current circumstances that presented in the country. Seeing the Taliban now winning the war that we should never have lost, left our troops returning home to find that it was more important for our military to become “woke” than anything else. What a sad commentary our men and women in uniform were now forced to face.

But Biden's forcing the leaving behind of millions of dollars of military equipment in what was a hastily conceived exit...an exit where the enemy dictated the timeline...led not only to a still ongoing humanitarian crisis, escalating starvation, and Afghanistan's general economic collapse...but to our arms being used against the very people we once proudly helped free. And not only does the media give little lip-service to this, but this only compounds the damage already done by Obama's “hearts and minds” directives...proving Joe Biden to be anything but a true commander-in-chief let alone one who is respected by both the military and we civilians alike.

And then there's Biden's recent trip to Israel, the Palestinian territories, and Saudi Arabia where in Israel he stated that he and his administration “won’t wait forever to get back into the (nuclear) deal.” In trying to placate Iran, Biden not only stabbed Israel in the back, but the self-called “messenger of peace” spoke out of both sides of his mouth when announcing America's “firm support” for Israel and that we would “ensure Israel’s military security” if Iran did obtain nuclear weapons. Empty words spoken for Biden then met with Palestinian leaders and announced a new $235 million aid package for the Palestinians, the very folks aligned with, financed by, and who receive the bulk of their weapons courtesy of Iran. And to add insult to injury, Biden repeated his support for a “two-state” solution ignoring the fact that the so-called Palestinians already have a homeland...it's called Jordan...proving that all Biden did while in Israel was to again channel his inner Obama.

Then it was on to Saudi Arabia to beg the Saudis to produce more oil. Unfortunately, the highlight of Biden's trip to Riyadh was a disrespectful “fist pump” with Saudi Prince and future King Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, who in effect is already Saudi Arabia's leader. And while no serious one-on-one oil negotiations took place between the two men Biden did promise...with fingers crossed behind his back no doubt...to “reconsider the decision to ban the sale of offensive armaments to Saudi Arabia.” And know this most likely will not happen what with Saudi Arabia now forging relationships with Israel as they share and must keep in check their common enemy, Iran. Simply, Biden’s attempt to cozy up to the Saudis has proven to be an embarrassment for our country as it has done nothing to ease let alone undo Biden and the Democrat's self-inflicted energy crisis.

And also not to be forgotten is Ukraine, a still ongoing foreign policy disaster for Joe Biden, what with the sum total of promised U.S. aid in regards to much needed equipment still not reaching Ukrainian hands out of fear of Russian reprisal. So while Zelensky and his loyalists continue their fight against Putin's forces, Biden shows weakness in not only his fear, but in his lackadaisical attitude towards Vlodimir Zelinsky himself, a man who has more courage in his little pinkie than Biden has in his whole body. But then again Ukraine is a sore point for both the "big guy" and his son Hunter, and blood always proves thinker than water...blankets anyone?

And lastly dare I not mention the misnomer known as Biden's “climate change” agenda...which in reality is but the “weather.” Remember, recorded human history itself has shown that the seasons run and will continue to run in cycles with summers always being hot while winters will always be cold...after all “Mother Nature” herself cannot ever be changed. And why do I now list “climate change” as a Biden foreign not domestic policy disaster...because what is now called  “climate change”...remember it was first called “global warming” then “global cooling”...is a key part of the globalist “Green Energy” agenda. And not only does Biden's “Green Energy” policies signal trouble here at home...both cost and common sense wise...but they do so on a global scale as well for failures here at home do tend to echo world wide.

And Biden's only success, if you can call it that, in all these aforementioned disasters is that he has allowed himself to become the willing puppet by which the left...by which Obama himself...can still openly try to destroy our beloved America. And Biden is oblivious to it all, after all, fools rarely know they are fools for the spotlight blinds them to the truth.

 And so reality continues on as my escapism and vacation time is now sadly over.
