There’s something wrong with Joe Biden’s thinking. The United States became energy independent under President Trump for the first time in 75 years, and we no longer bought oil from foreign countries. Now Biden is crushing domestic oil and gas production while pressuring OPEC to boost their production so we can buy theirs. We do not need their oil—there is plenty here.
Also, why are Biden and Harris ignoring our southern border and not stopping the invasion of illegals and drug traffickers, some of whom are bringing the Wuhan virus to our cities? During the time Donald Trump was our president, the southern border was rapidly being walled and well controlled.
Additionally, the decision to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan was probably a wise one. However, Biden’s failure to take his generals’ advice on how to orderly accomplish that exit proved to be a grave mistake. Under Biden’s direction the removal of our military happened hastily and chaotically, leaving some of our military equipment, technology, and Afghan friends behind to be seized by the Taliban.
