Trump-hater Chris Wallace on Fox New was shocked at Biden’s performance:
"I have to say I was also struck by the fact that it seemed on every foreign policy question, not the others but on foreign policy, he went to his briefing book like Jen Psaki does sometimes in the briefings and was reading what was obviously White House guidance, White House talking points,” he said.
... “covering Ronald Reagan for six years I never saw that.
Watching a lot of news conferences over the years I have never seen that, a president at a news conference reading talking points.
He did that on it seemed every foreign policy question.”
"The president dishonestly answered questions about many issues
How could you tell President Joe Biden was lying in his long-awaited first press conference?
His mouth was open.
No wonder he had to use cheat sheets to keep his story straight.
... on every single topic, he deflected, blamed, or outright lied.
If only there were a few media “fact-checkers” to address the problem…
... Biden asserted, “I’ve not been able to unite the Congress, but I’ve been uniting the country.”
Wrong.
Creating a border crisis, forcing girls to compete against boys, injecting racism into everything, and spending $2 trillion on Democrat constituents is not unifying.
COVID-19
... It was just two weeks ago that Biden gave a prime time address to falsely claim credit for Donald Trump’s vaccine achievements.
Yesterday was no better.
... Some 22 million vaccine doses were distributed before Biden even walked into the Oval Office.
Biden has now set a new goal of 200 million shots in his first 100 days.
This too is virtually certain given the pace of distribution. ...
HR 1
HR 1 and S 1, its Senate companion, is a Democrat attempt at a federal takeover of elections in order to make the shenanigans of 2020 permanent.
“What I’m worried about,” Biden explained, “is how unAmerican this whole initiative is.
It’s sick. …
This makes Jim Crowe look like Jim Eagle.”
Huh?
He was talking about Republican opposition to bulk-mail balloting, but the question he was asked had to do with both state Republican efforts at ensuring election integrity and his own party’s efforts to “pass voting rights legislation.”
... Democrats are lying about what ails our elections.
Requiring voter ID and limiting access to mail-in ballots is not “Jim Crow.”
In fact, Democrats are grossly patronizing minorities by arguing they’re somehow less capable of meeting basic standards of integrity.
Democrats are trying to exacerbate the problems we all saw in 2020 and force them on every state and jurisdiction.
Senate Filibuster
... “You know, with regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to a position on the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago [sic].
... between 1917 to 1971 — the filibuster existed — there was [sic] a total of 58 motions to break a filibuster that whole time.
Last year alone, there were five times that many.
So it’s being abused in a gigantic way.”
Last year, Democrats were in the Senate minority.
He expressed frustration that his radical leftist agenda is facing trouble in a 50-50 Senate.
“I’m a fairly practical guy. I want to get things done,” he said. Sadly, his dementia then kicked in: “The best way to get something done, if you — if you hold near and dear to you that you like to be able to — anyway…”
Asked about it again later, he affirmed that he thought the filibuster was “a relic of the Jim Crow era.”
He certainly didn’t think that in 2005 when as a senator he made a lengthy and passionate defense of the filibuster.
Heck, he didn’t even think it 10 days ago, when Press Secretary Jen Psaki insisted that Biden preferred “not to make changes” to the filibuster but was “open to hearing” ideas.
That doesn’t sound like it was a pressing racial issue last week."
