After 20+ months of President Joe Biden and his ill-advised policies, multiple crises are impacting the nation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When Biden assumed office, the nation\u2019s economy was strong. There was minimal inflation, strong economic growth, a robust stock market, and low-interest rates. Today, we have a 40-year high inflation rate, negative economic growth, a recession, a bearish stock market, and the highest interest rates since 2008.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Biden inherited a county that was energy independent, but, today, we are once again dependent on foreign nations and depleting our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to keep gasoline prices from spiraling out of control. Biden declared war on our domestic oil and gas industry, putting moratoriums on drilling in this country while begging Saudi Arabia for increased production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At the end of the Trump administration, the southern border was secure, and a security wall was being erected. After taking office, Biden immediately ended the construction of the border wall and opened our nation to illegal immigration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Millions of illegal aliens have crossed the border since January 2021, breaking\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2022\/09\/19\/u-s-mexico-border-arrests-record-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">records<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. It is such a crisis that former President Bill Clinton noted that the country cannot manage such an influx. In a recent\u00a0<\/span><em>CNN<\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0interview, he said, \u201cThere is a limit to how many migrants any society can take without severe disruption and assistance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When Bill Clinton begins to criticize the Biden administration it is an admission that the country is seriously on the wrong track. It is a reason so many Democratic candidates on the ballot in the midterm election are not interested in campaigning with President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The reality is that Americans are scared and angry and want change. Incredibly, Biden continues to insist the economy is strong, claiming that \u201cThe great American jobs machine continues to come back. American workers are back to work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While a 3.7% unemployment rate is good, wages are not keeping pace with the inflation rate. The increasing interest rates are supposed to tame inflation, but the negative effects include causing both credit card debt and mortgages to skyrocket, thereby making it more difficult to purchase a home. It is little wonder that the real estate industry is suffering, with home sales\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/09\/21\/homes\/existing-home-sales-august-2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20%<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0below last year\u2019s level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All this negative economic news is souring the mood of investors and the stock market has turned negative. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell below 29,000 for the first time since November 2020. This marks an\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/09\/29\/stock-futures-are-flat-following-thursdays-broad-sell-off.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8.8%<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0decline in just a month of September.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In contrast to Biden\u2019s misplaced optimism, there is nothing positive on the economic horizon. Inflation will not be tamed soon, especially since the Biden administration refuses to instill any fiscal discipline. The signature bills passed by Congress in the Biden administration have been extremely costly, adding to our national debt, which nears\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usdebtclock.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$31 trillion<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With massive spending bills passed that require more borrowing, inflation will continue to be a problem. Until there is a change in leadership in Congress and the White House, there will be no appetite for any adjustment in our fiscal policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On Friday, Biden signed another stopgap spending measure that funds the continued operation of the federal government in the short term and includes another\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/29\/us\/politics\/senate-bill-ukraine-government-shutdown.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$12.3 billion<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0in aid for Ukraine. While the United States sends a steady stream of funding to Ukraine, our borders remain open, our cities have become crime hellholes and over\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/news\/hsph-in-the-news\/drug-overdose-deaths-hit-record-high\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">100,000<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Americans are dying each year from drug overdoses, exacerbated by the Chinese fentanyl pouring into our country from Mexico.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">None of these problems seem to matter to Biden and Harris. They are not worried about the economy but seem to be focused on issues such as abortion and \u201cright-wing extremism.\u201d Instead, there is much more violence committed by unhinged liberals. For example, in McHenry, North Dakota, a deranged motorist, Shannon Brandt, was charged with murder after he used his vehicle to kill a young man, Cayler Ellingson, who he believed was a \u201cRepublican extremist.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sadly, Biden and Harris are not interested in dealing with the harsh reality that their policies have created. As Americans have noticed for months, Biden does not have a firm grasp on reality at all. On Wednesday, at a White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, he asked \u201cWhere\u2019s Jackie? I thought she was going to be here.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Of course, U.S. Congresswoman Jackie Walorski (R-IN) could not be there since she died in an automobile accident in August. Supposedly, Biden knew she died and sent a condolence note to her family. He forgot about her death in the span of a few weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Biden\u2019s mental incompetence is getting worse. Often, he looks lost after finishing speeches and extends his hand to greet a person only he can see.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Vice President Harris offers her own set of problems. This week, during a visit to the Demilitarized Zone in the Korean peninsula, she mistakenly praised our country\u2019s \u201calliance with the Republic of North Korea.\u201d On Friday, at a Democratic Party forum, Harris asserted that the federal government should be \u201cgiving resources based on equity.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This claim, in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, was denounced by Florida officials. An assistant to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Christina Pushaw, blasted Harris and noted that \u201cFEMA Individual Assistance is already available to all Floridians impacted by Hurricane Ian, regardless of race or background.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Thus, Biden is mentally incompetent, and Harris is the \u201cword salad\u201d queen. Some are calling for the removal of Biden via the 25th Amendment. Ideally, Republicans should demand that Biden submits to a mental competency test. If he fails and is removed, he will be replaced by Harris, a chilling prospect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">No matter how embarrassing his behavior, Biden remains in office, for the foolish Vice President is his best insurance policy. Unfortunately, America is stuck between a rock and a hard place as our troubles continue to mount.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jeff Crouere<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0is a native New Orleanian and his award-winning program,\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cRingside Politics,\u201d<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0airs Saturdays from Noon until 1 p.m. CT nationally on\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Real America&#8217;s Voice TV Network\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#038;\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/americasvoice.news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AmericasVoice.News<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and weekdays from 7-11 a.m. CT on\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WGSO 990-AM<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0&#038;\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wgso.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wgso.com<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.
