I recently participated in a "Fox & Friends" panel to discuss Kathleen Parker's Washington Post op-ed about Vice President Kamala Harris. Parker argued that Harris is a liability to the Democratic ticket and should consider stepping aside due to concerns about her competence.
While the debate was framed as a partisan discussion, the show’s host was taken aback when I disagreed with Parker and joined my Democratic counterpart in saying that Harris should not step down. I stressed that accountability must extend beyond Harris and include President Biden because Harris is merely executing the destructive policies of her boss. The buck doesn't stop with the VP; it stops at the desk of the president.
U.S. Border Crisis
Accusing Harris of incompetence distracts from the failures of Biden's socialist policies, which the former is tasked with implementing. For instance, the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, with over 10,000 people arriving daily, cannot be blamed on Harris' incompetence. The reason our border problem remains unresolved is due to a deliberate choice not to address it, driven by Biden’s allegiance to a globalist ideology that advocates for open borders.
Yes, the crisis unfolding at our southern border is intentional.
Given the post 9/11 world we live in, we must consider that some of the individuals crossing the border may not be our friends, but rather our enemies. Neglecting to tackle our border crisis could lead us into a situation similar to what unfolded in Israel on Oct. 7th, 2023, when Hamas broke through Israel's border security, slaughtering hundreds of people and taking hostages. Our adversaries don't need to breach our border security to wreak havoc on our soil; they can simply walk across it unimpeded.
Lowest Average Approval Rating in History
Most Americans, including some Democrats, oppose Biden's socialist policies, contributing to his historically low job approval rating, as reported by Gallup – easily making him the worst president ever. The administration's policies are clearly undermining America – progressively pushing our nation closer to communism.
A Costly Failure
President Biden's botched handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan cannot be overlooked, resulting in over $7 billion worth of U.S. military equipment ending up in the hands of the Taliban. But the outcomes of Biden's poor leadership in Afghanistan extend far beyond the borders of that country.
Media Manipulation
Over the past eight years, we've seen the left-wing media continuously aiming their attacks at conservatives like former President Trump to shape public opinion against them – tarnishing their reputations and distorting their images. Their actions remind me of a couple of quotes from Malcolm X:
"The media's the most powerful entity on earth,” Malcolm X once stated. “They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses."
He also noted, "If you are not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppression."
Biden’s America
Biden's economic policies are also bringing hardship to numerous Americans. It seems he puts America last, thus bolstering our enemies' confidence and audacity. It's worth noting that our adversaries, including Iran, Russia, and Communist China, are all rooting for Biden's re-election in November. Quite telling, isn't it?
Biden's socialist policies are dragging our nation down, leading to disastrous outcomes for both domestic and international affairs. But that's just the outcome we get when we have a weak leader guiding our nation.
