Given the tone of his campaign and the people surrounding him, this publication predicted Biden would crash and burn in 2021. But even we didn’t see how bad it could be. Liz Peek makes a survey of his rookie debacle.
Biden’s disappointing first year in office https://t.co/geV4XPBtaN
Disappointing? How about DISASTROUS ???
Why was it even an option?— Athena Cruz (@kjfkugkujvj) December 30, 2021
Peek: Here’s how bad things are for Joe Biden: the White House is pumping out stories about the new First Puppy as frantically as a fire brigade dousing a raging inferno. Anything to distract from the president’s abysmal polling, stalled agenda, failed COVID management and four-decade-high inflation.
The worst news for Biden is that voters now score him poorly even on those qualities that he has banked on throughout his career, like honesty and empathy.
Bottom line: the first year of Biden’s presidency has been a bust.
There is no guarantee that 2022 will be any kinder to the president. Inflation will continue to run hot as employers will have to pay up for workers and the Fed’s gentle down-shift on monetary largesse will prove too little, too late. Crime will remain a headline issue, thanks to Democrats who have turned our criminal justice system upside down while defunding the police. The southern border remains wide open as Biden and liberal mayors and governors do everything possible to invite people to enter our country illegally.
Meanwhile, China and Russia see this feeble presidency as an opportune time to press their advantage.
In the midterm elections, Democrats will lose, and probably lose big. That will be, in effect, the end of the Biden presidency.
Can Biden turn around his fortunes? Doubtful, but for the sake of the nation he could try, by adopting these five New Year’s resolutions:
Number one: Fire somebody! When a White House crashes, it’s good to let the public know that the president is angry, too, and demands accountability. Biden has kept his team intact, even as disasters pile up. That is a mistake.
Second: Come out from behind your Teleprompter. Stop telling people you are not “allowed” to talk to the press, or to go off script.
Third: Watch more television. Yes, you heard that right – tune in, or grab a newspaper, and get up to date. On a live Christmas show with you recently, a caller from Seattle said, “Let’s Go Brandon;” you repeated those words, and then said “I agree.” Is it actually possible that you haven’t heard that phrase and are ignorant of its meaning? That is an alarming possibility.
Fourth: Drop the divisiveness. You were elected in part by people tired of constant political wrangling and hoping for comity. You promised to bring the nation together; instead, you have widened our divides. In a new poll, only 15% of the nation thought you could bring the country together; that’s a pathetic vote of no confidence on this, your signature promise.
Suggesting that the unvaccinated are not patriotic, or that Republicans are to blame for inflation because they are blocking passage of your Build Back Better bill may play well to a small part of the electorate, but the majority would like less finger-pointing and more good faith.
Fifth: Stop denigrating the United States. Americans love their country, and they want their president to love it, too. This is not a “systemically racist” nation, we do not need to topple our statues or rewrite our history. Our founding fathers conceived of and delivered a miracle for their time and indeed for all time – a country dedicated to providing opportunity and freedom to all.

Disaster is actually a kindness to the sob. He has deliberately helped to destroy the nation, make inflation unreal, spend money like it was dirt available without end, and helped 2 million illegals come to do MORE damage to everything we have. Being illegal means they are already felons, so it isn’t like they are going to contribute in a way that is needed. We taxpayers are paying for them to be distributed at 2-3 AM in cities around the country!!! They have broken our federal law WITH THE HELP and blessing of the demonrats who are hellbent on being dictators.
Rerun this year for the next 3?? X100
Excellent insight by Liz Peek.
Since China’s got their man in our white house now, Chinese troops will most likely be in America’s streets in 2022. Biden will just let them walk right in. Get ready.
Joe Poopy Pants a disaster? Wow you guys have a keen eye for the obvious.
The only thing Senator/VP Joe Biden had going for him really was that people thought he was one of the few uncorrupted politicians who came to DC and did not manage to enrich himself on a good, but not exorbitant salary. I had read in the last couple of years that the way pols had gotten around being banned from insider trading was to tell their different family members the scoop and “they” enriched themselves. In the article they said Joe Biden was one who had used that sleight of hand and his brother had gotten wealthy. Then before the election it came out that he was perhaps has corrupted as any politician ever and not only through his brother but his son Big Time! Emails from son to family stated that apparently “Joe” got a percentage of whatever deals were made by selling Joe’s prestige, office, influence to foreign entities that he was involved with from his Office! So he was never super bright, but it was also obvious that age had caught up with him and he Could Not, on his own handle ANY big responsibilities. We swore in a man who had to be surrounded and “managed” by we have no idea who!! Were and are people really bamboozled and had/have no idea if Joe is cognitively “capable”? It’s absurd what we have allowed to happen and those in DC who “should” have a more complete idea???
