What’s Happening:
You’ve got to hand it to President Biden—it’s hard to know whether he’s telling the truth at any given moment. Problem is, Joe often doesn’t know himself.
The man has done everything from accuse Mitt Romney of wanting to put African Americans back in chains to claiming recently that he went to a Historically Black College or University (no, he did not). And he actually said that inflation leveled off when it continued at an historically high rate.
But one of Joe’s biggest lies was just exposed. When the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was accused of murdering a Washington Post journalist named Jamal Khashoggi, Biden promised to make the Crown Prince a “pariah” across the world. Except he just did the exact opposite. From AP News:
The administration spoke out in support of a claim of legal immunity from Prince Mohammed — Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, who also recently took the title of prime minister — against a suit brought by the fiancée of slain Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi and by the rights group Khashoggi founded, Democracy for the Arab World Now.
“Jamal died again today,” Khashoggi’s fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, tweeted after the U.S. filing late Thursday in her lawsuit.
How heartbreaking the news must have been to anyone who knew Khashoggi. Joe Biden actually stood up for Prince Mohammed, claiming that his role as ruler and now prime minister (sounds like the man is gobbling up power in Saudi Arabia) should protect him from charges of murder.
Sadly, this seems to line up with how Biden has acted concerning the power of the President. He attempts to use emergency powers to force medical mandates on American citizens. He bypasses Congress to forgive over $500 billion in student debt loan.
Not only that, Biden labels anyone who politically disagrees with him an enemy of democracy. And to put icing on the cake, he has laughed off recently announced investigations into Hunter Biden and the President’s role as “the big guy” with his overseas business dealings.
The man simply acts like he is immune to the rules and responsibilities of the President. Like Prince Mohammed, he acts like he can do anything he wants. So, no wonder he supports the Saudi Arabia leader, who Joe went groveling to just weeks before an election to get them to pump more oil and lower gas prices.
We agree with Robert Gates, who said: “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” Biden botched Afghanistan, he bungled keeping Russia from going to war in Ukraine, and the situation with China and Taiwan is quickly getting out of hand.
But this is publicly humiliating for Biden, who is clearly all bark and no bite to world leaders. He may talk big, but now he is folding to a Middle Eastern ruler who is clearly abusing his power, and is showing that he has power of America’s top leader.
