THE ENTERPRISE: A PARADOX, PARTISAN POLITICS, FLAWED POLICIES AND A PERSISTENT LACK OF LEADERSHIP — AT ALL LEVELS — A BIG MESS
LACK OF COMPETENT LEADERSHIP IS OUR COUNTRY’S GREATEST ISSUE
1. Biden is not a leader, never has been. He’s a flawed compromise candidate whose age and cognitive decline is perhaps America's greatest dilemma. He’s currently a puppet of behind-the-scenes Democrat operatives, and he can’t even deliver Teleprompter speeches well.
2. Removing Biden passes the presidency from bad to worse. Because he chose a VP based on “political correctness—female, mixed race” instead of competency, Kamala Harris is clearly proven and recognized as being incompetent to serve as President. She simply has no idea what to do, or how. She laughs and parrots the same lines over and over.
3. Next in line is Nancy Pelosi, who is at or past her “use by date,” She is probably “technically more competent and experienced” than either Biden or Harris. However, she too has decades of political “baggage,” that makes her poorly suited to be in the line of succession.
4. Biden won’t fire anyone — regardless of how they screw up —the opposite of Trump , who fired staff at a whim, in an instant of pique, even when doing well! A failing staff needs to be replaced, to support a failing president.
5. Sending Biden abroad is a disaster on many levels. He misspeaks, misreads the Teleprompter, ad libs (badly), and is an embarrassment. Staff spends the next week, walking back his mistakes.
6. Optimism is a good characteristic in a leader; but wishful thinking is not; convoluted logic is a disaster. Each one of those leads to a different (serious) problem when misapplied.
7. Biden’s words are seldom his own—even when his intended words have merit—he can’t deliver them clearly. The VP is incapable of doing “clean up duty.” No Cabinet member, or leading members of Congress is able (or willing?) to put aside their political agenda “axes to grind,” and stand up as leader(s) of the entire US Congress.
8. Blind ambition brought Biden into a job that he is clinging to by his fingernails, in hopes of retaining some shred of (or respect for) the dignity of the high office he now holds—until he can finish his first term. That is more worrisome than anything else.
9. When he doesn’t know what else to do, and goes into the executive “Beast Mode,” Biden skirts the law and tramples the Constitution—only to be reined in by the SCOTUS. Otherwise he seems to be “dithering and indecisive”—because he is!
10.The policy mistakes and bad decisions of the Biden Presidency’s first 18 months have been chronicled everywhere. No need to repeat them
AMERICA FACES SERIOUS ISSUES, IS IN TROUBLE BECAUSE OF FAILED LEADERSHIP, AND NO EASY SOLUTIONS
1. A brutal, protracted and illegal invasion & war in Ukraine by Putin & Russia.
2. A struggling, stumbling giant in China is throwing its weight around; threatening Taiwan‘s independence, terrorizing the South China Sea, tolerating Kim Jong Un’s belligerence in N. Korea, and facing down the USA — just because it can!
3. The volatile Middle East remains trapped in Centuries old tribal warfare, but with 21st century weapons being developed. And the US sends over the feckless, biased and misguided John Kerry to sort it out? Dumb (again).
4. At home the Fed can’t decide whether it wants to avoid a recession (too late) or rein in inflation it helped Biden & Congress cause (also too late)!. In the end, they’ll do neither—leaving yet another mess to clean up.
5. The GOP, who should by all measures be the beneficiary of Biden and the Democrats foolishness, can’t seem to get out of its own way. Trump makes matters worse by backing candidates who support his irrational vendetta over the 2020 election and its aftermath—some of whom are not the best ones to support!
6. Spend now—worry later is irresponsible. Now the GOP has learned that, after supporting too-generous money handouts to help post-Covid distress, many American workers would rather stay home on government largess and loaf. The most partisan GOP-ers also noticed that by signing onto irresponsible spending bills, they can “buy some votes!” Work ethic is being destroyed—what a tragedy.
7. Meanwhile, hard working Americans, joined by a large cadre of responsible Hispanics, are getting hammered by rampant inflation, high gas prices (after Biden erased Trump’s American energy independence), and coming next—high interest rates, which filter through into everything people buy!
8. Washington deceives Americans by more than quadrupling the cost of the CHIPS bill from $52billion to $280 billion by loading it with political “pork” — very, very loosely connected with the intention—helping America compete globally.
9. Supply chains will eventually self-correct. Walmart will push its costs back to vendor who will pass them on in higher prices to middle-income America!
10. Finally Biden & Schumer & Pelosi’s outrageous $$$ bills will wear down Joe Manchin & Kirsten Synema’s opposition, until they agree to raise taxes on those nasty, big corporations. How will those nasty, big corporations (that many of us own their stocks in our IRA & 401(k) accounts, handle those increases and stay profitable? Simple: Pass them on in higher prices (how else?); prices to whom? To the poor middle income Americans Joe Biden promised "no tax increases unless you make over $400k.” Wrong!
Don’t worry! Mid-term elections (and football season) are right around the corner, and if we stay “boosted” against Covid’s new strains (and Flu), life in America will go on—as chaotic as it is. YOU CAN VOTE FOR NEW LEADERS ON TUESDAY, NOV. 8!
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO ELECT SOME COMPETENT LEADERS IN NOVEMBER 2020—AND IN 2024—BUT WHO?
Best, John 🤞🇺🇸
