Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Breitbart News that American adversaries like Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, and Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei “were thrilled” with the “weakness” on display from President Joe Biden during his first overseas trip.
In an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel, Pompeo panned both Biden’s trip to Europe and Vice President Kamala Harris’s Latin American trip to Guatemala and Mexico City.
“Both of those trips remind me so much of the Obama administration and frankly I think they’re happy about it — they talk about going back, say ‘America is back’ back to the years of apologizing for America,” Pompeo said. “We always asked ourselves something different when we traveled and when I traveled with the president. The question always was: ‘What are we trying to achieve? America First is our policy and what do we get for America?’ If you stare at the meeting with the Europeans, he said ‘yup, we’re going to allow an international organization to tax Americans.’ ‘Yup, we’re happy to allow the Nordstream 2 pipeline to continue and to put America at risk.’ ‘Yup, we’re happy to allow NATO countries not to spend as much of their money on defending themselves and America will pick up the tab.’ Then you talked about the vice president down in Central America — there’s no way cutting a big check to Honduras or El Salvador or Guatemala is going to in any way remotely solve the problems at our southern border.”

I have great respect for Pompeo. He just reassured what everybody already knew.
Pope Francis was thrilled with the compliant nature that Joe Stolen has displayed. Might even make a ruling that Joe can continue to receive Communion despite any findings the American bishops come up with.
But the Communion has to be limited to sweet tea and a Ritz cracker.
There is a reward in Heaven (or somewhere).
Rusty old halo and a skinny white cloud, wings all covered with patches....
And wearing a robe so woolly it scratches.
