Editor,

This is in response to yet another letter from Michael Oberg, (“Follow up to ‘I’m so proud of our President Biden” in the Oct. 16-17 edition of the Daily Journal).

And of course, the Taliban has honored its commitment to respect women... unless it's a woman on an athletic team.

Great letter, Mr. Wild. Note also that Mr. Oberg cannot cite any bumbling Biden accomplishment other than the catastrophic kneeling to the Taliban. But what can left-wingies do when Biden thinks he’s been a senator for 370 years (as Biden claimed in his town hall) and claims his trillion dollar multi-infrastructure bill costs nothing. Pure delusion.

Neil, have you, or anyone close to you, served in the military, or served during a useless war? During the Viet Nam War, and later in the Afghanistan War, I lost friends and family members to each. It changes your perspective on the value of a human life and why you serve. Biden made a politically tough decision, did not back down from it, and owned it. The end result is we are not losing more lives and tossing billions of dollars down a rat hole. History is likely to treat the withdrawal more kindly. There is no blueprint for withdrawing from a losing war without significant further losses, yet Biden withdrew nearly 125,000 people with a minimal loss of lives.

As to whether Biden is doing a good job, he inherited a mess. The previous administration was incompetent in every form possible for four years and and no one can right the ship overnight. The pandemic is getting closer to being under control; our country is addressing climate change once again; diplomacy abroad is being reinstated; the American Rescue Plan is lifting millions of children out of poverty; voting rights is being addressed; the Afghanistan War is over; and our infrastructure will likely be improved when the Democrats agree on a framework. One may disagree as to the level of competence of Biden, but it is totally delusional to think his actions are not an improvement over the prior administration.

Déjà vu, folks. Once again, we have Rel attempting to promote failure as an accomplishment. And with his hackneyed Democrat talking point that increasing our national debt to over $30 trillion with only about 10% of the $2 trillion actual helping to Rescue America is an accomplishment. Hey Rel, in a previous thread, you said this plan would raise 90 million children out of poverty - which would be amazing given that the US doesn’t have 90 million kids (and is not expected to in our lifetimes). Now if that were true, it really would be an accomplishment but alas, just another lie. Along with other delusional lies you’ve bought hook, line, and sinker.

The Biden Administration are doing a perfect job!......of what they, and other socialists and communists, have planned for decades! To completely destroy America, our economic system, culture., Judeo-Christian values, practices and heritage, history, and peoples. And make us subservient to their totalitarian rule. Part of the Great Reset.

We must not let this happen!

It’s not just Afghanistan - the incompetence of the Biden admistration is startling. Government spending is accelerating inflation which will take back the “free” money people think they got. The boarder is such a disaster that neither Biden or his VP will go there. Biden is almost incoherent in his interviews and contradicts his own policy. He created a mess for Nancy by promising the left and the moderate Dems he’d support them. When he speaks Dems cringe and the leaders of Russia and China thank their good fortune for having “old go along to get along” Joe in office.

Hi, Ed

It's kinda peculiar that we don't hear a lot from the left side of the aisle re: the issues mentioned in your post unless it is to say, "It's all Trump's fault!" Yeah, I remember Trump opening up the border, withdrawing from Afghanistan without a solid plan, running up inflation, chanting "systemic racism!" as leftists try to install CRT in schools, and switching from being an oil exporter to now buying foreign oil. But Trump's a liar... who canceled a presidential campaign for lying? Joe or the Donald? Trump's a racist... who pushed legislation to disproportionately incarcerate African-Americans? Joe or the Donald? Instead, what we hear is carping from the left about the past administration after the progressives jump into their time machine and revisit 2016-2020. Amazing.
