The awareness level of Americans about Joe Biden’s intentions as president of the United States has now reached a peak and it is quite ominous.
I don’t say the peak because even more could seep out about his malevolent motives in the next few months. And one day down the road, hopefully, historians will pry open and pump out the entire septic tank of truth about No. 46’s reign of error.
But the stark fact is clear now:
The ongoing intention of Joe Biden’s administration, including the shadowy foreign sources paying off his family, those in media and elsewhere either knowingly or blindly supporting his narrative, and the unidentified puppeteers pulling his strings and telling him what to do, is definitely to weaken and potentially destroy the unique soul of this country.
The ultimate goal, one could guess, could be to replace it with something else, something more malleable and totalitarian. Or maybe the goal is simply to enjoy the power, the perqs, and watching things crumble.
That is a serious allegation. I will detail the compelling evidence below.
Joe Biden’s political career, indeed his entire life, has been long and unremarkable. Every day in office, he sets a new record for oldest sitting – or shuffling, stumbling, or falling – president.
His political career began at the county level in Delaware, where he seriously considered running as a Republican because why not?
But the path to success there is blue. So he chose that one.
American voters are not noted for being attentive or owning a long memory. As a result, inertia rules federal politics. Here’s the simplest definition of that word: Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion, and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes their speed or direction to change.
Despite all their grumbles, voters go for the familiar names of incumbents at a near 90 percent rate. Thus, federal political careers tend to continue in motion until affected by some external force. Joe Biden was elected to the Senate six times, achieving virtually nothing of note except surviving.
He attempted to change his course by running for president. But his tendency to lie and steal the words of smarter people forced him to abandon that goal.
The external force that did change Biden’s career path was Barack Obama’s need for an unremarkable vice-presidential partner who added more Washington experience to the 2008 Democrat ticket than the rookie senator from Chicago possessed.
Bill Clinton did the same thing in 1992, adding Sen. Al Gore to his ticket, as did George W. Bush in 2000 with D.C/White House vet Dick Cheney as his partner.
Obama wanted to keep 2016 open for Hillary Clinton’s historic White House return. Biden’s excuse then was his son’s death a year before from cancer, not, as he often implies, in Iraq.
In 2020, Biden presented himself as a moderate return to normalcy after Trump’s turmoil. Aides successfully minimized exposure of Biden’s anger and mental confusions by keeping him in the basement, literally, using COVID as the cover.
His “work” days usually ended mid-morning.
But here’s where the trail of evidence begins. In a flurry of numerous pre-planned actions, the new president revoked, rescinded, and issued new executive orders to, among many things:
Kill the approved Keystone XL pipeline that would have created 30,000 jobs and delivered 800,000 barrels of Canadian oil to Texas refineries daily, silently underground out of sight. This shifted energy transportation to more dangerous trucks and trains. The guise was protecting the environment.
Effectively canceled the nation’s hard-won energy independence, which reduced reliance on foreign sources and even enabled lucrative foreign sales of LNG that allowed European allies to buy less from Russia. He also canceled oil leases and new sales and closed vast new areas to exploration. The excuse was his green agenda.
In the spring of 2021, the nation experienced a disastrous shortage of infant formula, which Biden claimed to be unaware of despite federal agency assurances they had informed the White House.
The previous president had negotiated with the Taliban a complete troop withdrawal from Afghanistan in April, thankfully ending the 20-year war.
Joe Biden changed the date to 9/11 for ill-advised PR purposes, then back to August, then abruptly without announcement into July.
He rejected Pentagon advice to keep troops in-country for an orderly evacuation of American citizens and allies. Thousands were abandoned and remain so, while Taliban death squads hunt down Afghans who helped U.S. and allied troops for two decades with the promise of safe exit.
Thirteen U.S. military and nearly 200 Afghans were killed in a homicide bombing during an aborted, unplanned refugee evacuation.
Biden left behind billions of dollars in sophisticated military vehicles and gear, which the Taliban now uses in-country against Afghans and has sold to terrorists trying to subvert Pakistan, which has nuclear weapons.
Since the exit, Biden paid the Taliban more than $1 billion for reasons his administration refuses to explain to Congress’ Inspector General on spending there.
Joe Biden continues to “forgive” hundreds of billions in student loans despite the Supreme Court striking down his original plans. Biden claims authority under other programs. Taxpayers will cover all costs.
As a direct result of killing energy independence and new drilling, gasoline prices surged. Joe Biden, who previously called Saudi Arabia a “pariah” nation, went to the kingdom in person to plead with it to increase production and lower prices before the 2022 midterm elections.
The Saudis said No.
So, Biden turned to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the vast subterranean salt caverns on the Gulf Coast set aside by Congress in 1973 for genuine national energy emergencies, not election needs.
Donald Trump had ordered the reserve filled with some 70 million barrels purchased when oil prices were cheap. Biden ordered a million barrels drained every day and sold abroad at high prices, promising to refill the reserve right away.
However, Biden did not set those huge revenues aside. He spent those billions on other projects.
Fourteen months ago, we wrote a RedState post warning of this political ploy as part of this president’s strategy: Joe Biden's Policies Quite Simply Damage the US.
Now, as our colleague Nick Arama has written, the Liar in Chief has canceled that promise because, by golly, oil costs much more now. Once again, you see, it can’t be Biden’s fault.

So, with two active wars underway, the SPR remains 200 million barrels down, its lowest level in 40 years. (One barrel produces about 44 gallons of petroleum products.)
One early Biden action was to cancel his predecessor’s agreement with Mexico to keep immigrants there while their cases were examined.
The result, which even a former senator could have predicted, was a rush to cross into the U.S. by, first, thousands and now millions of illegal immigrants.
To date, we know of around 10 million new illegals scattered about the country, with thousands more crossing every day. The administration quietly flew 320,000 others over the border into U.S. cities and has bused thousands more undocumented and untracked.
That’s the combined populations of Chicago, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Houston, and Phoenix.
Joe Biden’s answer was another border photo op. But he has made no serious attempt to staunch the ongoing flow, to track these illegals, including Chinese and Europeans of military age, or to prepare to address the huge future costs for Americans of education, housing, welfare, and law enforcement.
Or to explain his three years of non-action, other than it changed Trump’s policy.
While Iran and its proxies continue to attack U.S. troops, to fund and arm Hamas in Gaza, and to attack international shipping in the Red Sea, Joe Biden continues attempts to cozy up to the Tehran regime. He has lifted sanctions, tried to revive talks on the failed nuclear treaty, and has freed billions of the mullahs’ frozen funds, even as they continue to export terrorism.
Biden plans another multi-billion dollar gift to the terror-exporting nation.
Venezuela’s dictator, Nicolas Maduro, continues arrests and repression that has prompted more than six million refugees to flee to neighboring countries and beyond. That’s more refugees than have fled Syria or Ukraine.
Last fall, Biden lifted sanctions on Venezuela to encourage political prisoner releases. They have yet to happen. Biden said he might reimpose sanctions. That, too, has yet to happen.
Biden and his spend-silly allies in Congress are directly responsible for the worst inflation in four decades. The monthly price increases have eased, though remain higher than Federal Reserve goals. But the more than 18 percent increased food costs remain in place for American families.
One of Joe Biden’s more egregious inactions that damaged the country concerned last year’s Chinese spy balloon. Despite calls to down it, Biden permitted the massive instrument package to drift across the entire country for a whole week, collecting data from 60,000 feet over military installations and transmitting it home via satellite.
The president claimed shooting it over land would destroy the package. So, the Air Force was ordered to down it over the Atlantic, where it was destroyed anyway.
Another Biden practice calling for explanation is his penchant for taking vacations, which have now consumed 40 percent of his time in office. Typically, this puts him in Delaware, where his visitors, communications, even potential medical treatments go unrecorded.
Of course, looking at the record of his 1,173 days in office, you might argue that keeping Joe Biden out of action somewhere is actually good for the country.
