Global approval of the United States has rebounded under Biden, survey finds
America is BACK
Biden's G-7 Trip Gets Off to Bad Start as Lawmaker Says He's 'Senile,' 'Won't Remember' What He's Told
Remember when the establishment media told us that our friends and foes across the world were collectively laughing at us when former President Donald Trump was running the show?
Some of those people are certainly laughing now — if they aren’t fuming.
One British politician reportedly called President Joe Biden “senile” this week as he makes his first trip abroad as commander in chief to attend a G-7 summit in the U.K.
The Sun reported that the globalist Democrat has already ruffled some feathers in Britain, sticking his nose into a dispute involving Brexit, the European Union and sausage.
Basically, the EU does not allow chilled meats to be imported into member nations, and Britain is no longer a member of the EU. The U.K. is unwilling to enforce a sausage blockade on Northern Ireland, so multiple parties find themselves at odds over pork.
Enter Biden, who can’t even manage an international border on this side of the pond.
The president expressed “great concern” over Britain’s handling of the trade disagreement, according to The Times, and ordered the top American diplomat in the U.K. to essentially censure London — siding with the EU in doing so.
One member of Parliament — described by Politico only as a “conservative Brexiteer” — had harsh words for Biden on Thursday.
“America should remember who their allies are,” the MP said. “Unfortunately he’s so senile that he probably won’t remember what we tell him anyway. Unless an aide is listening I’m not sure he’s going to remember for very long.”
Trump ally and Brexit leader Nigel Farage also ripped Biden.
“We now have an anti-British US President in the White House. I hope all those who condemned Trump see their stupidity,” Farage tweeted.
If our friends have such nice things to say about Biden, imagine what our enemies are saying about him behind closed doors.
In a matter of months, Biden has mismanaged this country’s affairs to the point where our southern border is the epicenter of a humanitarian crisis, inflation is skyrocketing and unemployed Americans are being paid to sit at home while businesses face a labor shortage.
One could make the compelling case that Biden isn’t qualified to weigh in on an overseas sausage dispute.
The Brits certainly don’t need any input from a 78-year-old Democrat from Delaware.
The president’s bumbling, combined with Vice President Kamala Harris’ disastrous visit to Mexico and Central America earlier this week, makes the Biden administration 0 for 2 on international trips.
The pair should cut their losses while they still have a shred of credibility left at home and abroad.
The Nut Job Wacko News
It'sHILARIOUS
I live in America. I dont really care what our global approval is. To me global approval of biden just means they know there is a president in office they can run over and get what they want from us. Even half of our allies dont really like us but they suck up for our money and protection.
The FACT CHECKING WEBSITES are garbage and shouldn't be trusted. They're owned by liberals and used by liberals to spread lies.
Collapsed Lafayette Square narrative is yet another 'fact-checked' story gone bad
Fact-checkers having to walk back 'supposedly all-knowing rulings' damaging media's credibility
Another left-leaning media narrative with fact-checker cover went belly-up this week, as an Inspector General report found former President Donald Trump did not have Lafayette Square forcefully cleared of protesters so he could pose in front of a church last year.
"Fact-checked" mainstream media stories unhelpful to Republicans or conservatives – like ones related to Russia or vaccine development or police shootings or the origins of the Coronavirus – have later fallen apart or been amended, updated, corrected, or retracted over the past few years. And observers are taking note it doesn't seem to go the other way.
"I have been through a lot of fact checks, and I cannot recall a check favoring the right half of politics that's been reversed," the conservative Media Research Center's Tim Graham told Fox News. "This pattern of fact checkers having to walk back their supposedly all-knowing rulings underlines how eager they are to solidify Democrat narratives and undermine conservative journalism."
GLENN GREENWALD TEARS INTO CNN, JIM ACOSTA FOR QUESTIONING IG CREDIBILITY: PEDDLING ‘OUTRIGHT FABRICATIONS'
The latest example involves one of the more controversial episodes of Trump's presidency. When the former president walked from the White House through Lafayette Square to visit a riot-torched St. John's Church, protestors had already been cleared from the area. Many journalists concluded Trump had been the one to order the protestors out.
But an investigation released this week by Interior Department IG Mark Lee Greenblatt says U.S. Park Police and the U.S. Secret Service deemed it necessary to remove protestors from the park on June 1, 2020, in order to install anti-scale fencing. The decision was reached after at least 49 U.S. Park Police (USPP) were injured while policing protests days earlier.
At the time, there were numerous examples of media figures pushing the story that Trump demanded protesters to be cleared. CNN correspondent Jim Acosta asserted at a briefing that the White House had "gassed and pummeled protesters" so Trump could have a photo-op. MSNBC anchor Joy Reid said it happened so Trump could have his picture taken with a Bible. And CNN's Anderson Cooper said it "obviously" happened for Trump's photo-op.
The New York Times reported, "Protesters Dispersed With Tear Gas So Trump Could Pose At Church." ABC News, MSNBC, NPR, the Washington Post, and other outlets also reported the story at the time. The Post produced a 12-minute video about how police "cleared the way for the president to cross Lafayette Square."
Biden administration will return $2 billion to military projects that had been set aside for border wall construction
The Biden administration is returning more than $2 billion to military projects that had previously been set aside for the construction of former President Donald Trump's border wall, the White House Office of Management and Budget said Friday.
In one of his first actions in office, President Joe Biden ordered a pause on wall construction and called for a review of projects and funds. Friday's announcement builds on the Biden administration's decision to cancel all contracts for wall construction on the US-Mexico border that used funds originally intended for military missions and functions.
The administration is now taking steps to send back billions' worth of funds to the Pentagon, so that they can be used for their initial purpose. That includes returning military construction funds to 66 previously deferred projects in 11 states, 3 territories, and 16 countries.
The move, according to the OMB, will restore funds for on-base schools, hangars, housing, and facilities, including more than $10 million for the missile field expansion at Fort Greely in Alaska and $79 million for an elementary school for US military children in Germany.
The US Army Corps of Engineers is in the process of canceling 20 contracts for construction of the southern border wall, their commanding general testified to Congress this week.
The Department of Homeland Security, meanwhile, is using appropriated funds to address environmental issues stemming from the Trump administration's wall construction, as well as for construction clean up. The department is also reviewing the status of land seizure cases for wall construction, as well as land acquired in previous years, to assess whether those properties are still necessary. "If DHS determines it no longer requires the use of such land, it will work to return the land to its prior owners," according to OMB.
Biden's fiscal year 2022 budget included over $1 billion for border infrastructure, like technology, but no additional funding for border wall construction.
We have a urgent crisis at our southern border and liberals have lied to our face about the reality of it and they're against the wall because Trump was for it. Democrats are destructive and soon we all will feel the results.
