Joe Biden Is Who We Said He Was
National Review ^ | August 21, 2021 | DAN MCLAUGHLIN

Nobody should, any longer, pretend that Joe Biden is fit to lead this nation.

Joe Biden has badly, visibly bungled America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. He has compounded the problem with his sluggish and dishonest public statements. This has gone so badly that even people and institutions that are normally sympathetic to Biden and his party have noticed. American allies have been appalled, and vocal about it. What is slowly dawning on people is that Biden’s critics were right about him all along. Not since James Buchanan has America had a president who came so prepared by experience for the job, yet had so little clue how to do it. That reality will be shoved from consciousness soon enough by people with a professional stake in not acknowledging it, but a growing number of the American people are likely to remember. So will our allies and enemies around the world.

Yet, longtime Biden-watchers knew better. Two sets of critiques of Biden have followed him over the course of his career, and Republicans and conservatives have hardly been the only ones to level them. First were the things people noticed about Biden before 2019. For all his time-serving in Washington, Biden was widely understood to be a lightweight, a fabulist, a plagiarist, an exaggerating braggart, a walking gaffe machine, a purveyor of malarkey who covered his inch-deep grasp of everything with his Irish charm and his ability to talk fast and at length until the listener had long since lost track of the topic. Biden rarely had ideas of his own, and when he did, they were usually the subject of mockery. His capacity for filling airtime at Senate hearings without actually saying anything was legendary.

My wife grew up in the former Soviet Union and was a Lenin Pioneer. Now she is a rightist and sees clearly what is happening here. I’m reading August 1814 by Alexander Solzhenitsyn and before Russia fell into the abyss, the colleges and universities were dominated by radicals. As I point out continuously, the hardcore Leftists dominate 99 percent of the colleges and universities in this country even here in Alabama. We are in a world of hurt.
