We have completely lost our minds and moral compass. When I say we, I don’t mean the collective we. I mean the Biden Government “We.” Weeks ago, Biden freed $6 Billion of Iran’s assets. Biden, Blinken, KJP, and the rest of the sordid cast have repeated ad nauseam that Qatar was in control of the funds and it could only be released for humanitarian purposes. I surmise that Biden thinks Iran will order vast amounts of medical supplies from Amazon, and Qatar will pay the bill. How stupid is this Biden team, and how ignorant do they see Americans?

Now, we are five weeks into the Israeli/Hamas battle. We know that Iran is funding Hamas and Hezbollah and is controlling the rogue countries surrounding Israel. It is countries like Syria and Libya that are taking sporadic shots at our military installations and hurting our troops. Biden and his Team continue to claim we will retaliate for any attack on our forces, but so far, that has proven to be lip service and idle threats. We moved two carrier groups into the area and an Ohio class submarine. The Navy does not usually advertise the location of our subs, but they wanted all parties in the Middle East to know we were prepared to act in a big way. But we haven’t, which is a weakness and indicates poor leadership.

On a day when Biden is placating Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco, making numerous concessions, including relaxing sanctions, in exchange for a promise of China cutting back on Fentanyl shipments to America, Biden releases $10 Billion in frozen Iranian funds. The obvious response is why. Why in the world would you pad the wallet of a country that is orchestrating the attack on Israel and the multi-headed attack on Israel and our facilities in the region? This move is proof of how dysfunctional our current military leadership is.

In one day, Joe Biden weakened America with a country that wants to be the sole superpower and another that wants to obliterate Israel and the United States. What did we get for the concessions made by Biden? Nothing. We got no movement on the hostages held in the tunnels of Gaza, and our troops are still in the crosshairs. China made promises on Fentanyl, but there is no way to hold them accountable for their commitment. Xi and Biden may have dined on ravioli and chicken, but Xi ate Biden like a cheap egg roll on the noon-to-three buffet.

Biden, Xi, and their teams met for four hours on Wednesday. The official readout indicates that Xi dominated the time and was very guarded in his answers to Biden’s questions. On Wednesday evening, Biden held a solo press conference where he recapped the day’s meeting. Biden claimed the two leaders agreed on Fentanyl, AI, and stability in the Taiwan region. There were no significant announcements of agreements, but the two sides are now talking. He talked about the high-level diplomacy over the last year, but we only got an agreement to communicate. That is a failure. This is an Administration that cannot be given a second term. Every decision weakens America and favors our adversaries. That is not a President with America in mind. That is a President on the take, and today is ugly, vivid proof that these foreign countries are calling the shots. That is what money buys.
