What do you believe has been the most significant problem President Biden has created for himself, one for which he bears direct responsibility?
What is your perspective on President Biden's approach to problem-solving?
I'm not seeking a repetitive catalog of President Biden's achievements; I've already encountered that numerous times. Therefore, if you believe my inquiries are not pertinent to your viewpoint, feel free to disregard this discussion.
The list of horrors this Administration has accomplished in so short a time is going to be historical, future generations will look back at this Presidency the way people today look back at the Buchanan Presidency.
Let me present you with an example.
Biden's Inflation Reduction Act.
If you haven't noticed, while it created trillions more in debt/wasteful spending, it didn't relieve Americans from inflation as was promised.
Since passed:
Inflation is up more than 15 percent.
The cost of groceries for Americans has risen approximately 20 percent.
U.S. gas prices are up nearly 62 percent.
Natural gas prices are up more than 40 percent.
That's not the worst of it, the pain for this is still to come.
Better we call it Biden’s Inflation Expansion Act.
This is some of what it gave us (in addition to the above):
A natural gas tax - It’s a tax on every part of our lives. This has done nothing to ease prices for Americans from heating homes and buying goods, to manufacturing thousands of essential, everyday products.
EPA-run climate bank - An unaccountable $27-billion-dollar, taxpayer-funded slush fund for liberal pet projects and Democratic cronies. It fails to ensure accountability or transparency in how the resources are used, heightening the risk for overspending, fraud, and abuse.
DOE Loan Guarantee Program - $250-billion-dollars in government handouts to fund the Left’s rush-to-green pet projects. Which of course, will be forgiven when they can't pay it back.
And this is just one aspect.
I won't belabor our involvement in Ukraine, I've said plenty on that.
Most people here are familiar with the immigration/border problem, I'll leave that alone as well.
So other than giving special consideration and protection to transgenders and minors that want to have sex-changes, what exactly has he done that could be considered good?
His push for Equity throughout the Government?
His alienating former longtime allies of American interests (IE - Saudi Arabia)?
There is nothing that will benefit Americans that he has done, other than for a small, very small, minority... and in doing that he infringed on Women's Rights and safe spaces, as well as Parent's rights.
Thank you, Ken, for addressing the core of my concerns. Your comment highlights how Biden seems to be causing issues and then neglecting them when they become problematic. It appears that he is actively trying to dismantle various aspects of America without hesitation, resulting in a series of crises and a rapid decline in the country's well-being. Sadly enough I see a great decline, in a minority, when it comes to values. He continually works to create problems, one can only wonder why.
Would the idea being floated of a 10% tax on goods coming into the country (imports) be a problem created or solved?
He creates problems, he has no ability to solve the problems he creates!

The Biden administration on Thursday rescinded former President Donald Trump's restoration of U.N. sanctions on Iran, an announcement that could help Washington move toward rejoining the 2015 nuclear agreement aimed at reining in the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.
WSJ -- The report confirms estimates that Iran shipped 1.6 million barrels per day in May and June, up from 250,000 barrels in 2019 and 2020, just after the United States imposed full sanctions.
Over the last few weeks, various reports have emerged on Iran’s increased crude oil sales. The most recent report by monitoring service TankerTrackers indicates that Aug. 2023 saw the highest volume of Iranian exports since 2018, when the Donald Trump administration unilaterally left the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and reimposed all sanctions.
Last year, Iran’s revenues from the export of crude oil and condensate reached 42.6B USD, compared to 25.5B in 2021, 7.9B in 2020, and 19.4B in 2019. The peak of export performance in recent years was in 2018, with 60.5B USD in revenues.
In my view, lifting the sanctions on Iran has increased the wealth of Iran. Has this wealth contributed to the current war in Israel?
This man is dangerous. Israel has claimed Iran is responsible for this attack. In my view, Biden's poor decision-making has enriched Iran, and Biden is committed to paying for a war that will end with thousands dying.
When will this man be removed from office?
This administration has left our borders open, we have no idea who we now have in our country... Do you trust this administration to be truthful? Do you trust this administration's ability to handle any crisis?
A week or so ago, a cell phone alert went out... Scared yet? When will enough be enough?
He creates problems, he has no ability to solve the problems he creates! On top of that, he surrounds himself with inept individuals. What scares me at this point, we have a fluid situation on several foreign shores and an inept president. I think Ken is correct we are headed for a world war.
Do you believe that any person should be subjected to brutal acts like beheading, including innocent babies, children, men, and women? Can we justify a situation where a pregnant woman has her baby forcibly removed from her womb, leading to her bleeding to death? Is it acceptable for anyone to be publicly subjected to torture, ultimately resulting in a horrific death, and then be humiliated?
I find it incomprehensible that anyone could rationalize such extreme acts of brutality under any circumstances. Unfortunately, these heinous actions are taking place not just due to the attitudes of a few individuals but are occurring globally.
What has been unleashed upon certain populations can only be described as pure evil. There can be no excuses for anyone who, in any way, supports individuals capable of committing such unspeakable atrocities. This way of thinking is, in many aspects, deeply disturbed, and it deeply troubles me to acknowledge that there are individuals within the United States who hold such disturbing beliefs. Our society is becoming increasingly tainted and twisted and possesses this mindset.
I hear the name Hitler used frequently by some on the left. Yet we have protesters who support evil beings who are willing to commit the above-mentioned atrocities and kill Jews - babies, women men, women... Not just kill but slaughter.
I don't think anyone is supporting Hamas, are they? Hamas is a terrorist organization. The Palestinian people and Hamas should not be confused as one. Currently somewhere around half of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank may support Hamas, maybe less. Hamas needs to be eradicated, they are much worse than Isis. Netanyahu has only made things worse. A great majority of Israelis believe that it was his policies that continued to raise the inevitability of this war. These tensions have simmered and boiled over for years. We need a real and lasting solution to Gaza. Keeping Palestinians penned within the borders of Gaza hasn't been workable either. Many innocent Palestinians in Gaza who do not support the terror of Hamas will die in this conflict also.
Sounds like never ending family feuds.
Bring 2 shovels to a revenge.
Can't these "family feuds" be avoided by a very secure border walls between Palestine and Israel?
... or better yet remove the border(s) all together and make it the state of Israel/Palestine.
Why not?
Because they do not really know God?
The Muslims and Jews can get along just fine if they realize that the God of one is the God of all, and the same morals and behavioral guidelines for happiness apply for each and every person no matter what their tribal affiliation.
Contrary to your opening sentence, there is quite the support for what occurred within America, from too many groups and individuals.
Rather than type in length what happened and then the reactions to it, I will allow this clip to express it fairly well on my behalf:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPx1muBhjZc
After 70 years of both sides trying to blow each other off the face of the earth. There still hasn't been enough pain, suffering and death for both to draw the lines of their own system and territories. For Godly people there couldn't be any greater hate and fear. Now there is a new group called Queers for Palestinian. I bet that will cause more bloodshed. Rather be a cosmic sand gyspy.
I think this group may want to realize the war is between Jews and Muslims... And may want to check the teachings of the Quran in regard to homosexuality.
The rainbow prides won't listen to what we have to say. Let them try their colourful flags and marches over there. It could save us on our young persons military costs.
"A week or so ago, a cell phone alert went out... Scared yet? When will enough be enough?"
yikes!

Very conflicting whats happened in the history of Jewish people, who are like gypsies of the world. Winston Churchill set up jewish Holocaust survivors into Israel in 1948 . In the 1500s Israel only had Jewish population of 1.5 percent, Today it's 74% of Israel and 80% of that is Zionist. But some say "Zionist" can be used as a coded attack on Jews, while others say the Israeli government and its supporters are deliberately confusing anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism to avoid criticism. Hard to set boundaries when groups of people don't know who to ID as. Or who is like a secret societies. Secrets is a great waste of time. I set boundaries even with my own family for better peace and love. Or it's my God is better than your God, so na, na NA naaaaaa na. used for political and religious control.
Foreign powers have enabled the war against Israel. Our tax payer money has been released for the purpose of empowering evil.
WHO is taking our tax payer money and doling it out to Ukraine, Iran and Palestine?
It c a n ' t be kind Joe.
WHO!?
Yes, it is Joe and Congress... We need to take note of who we vote for and send to Washington.
... well, this is true, too many voted for Biden, in hatred of Trump.
Again I ask, what, s p e c i f i c a l l y did Trump do/has done that
was/is detrimental?
The list of beneficial actions is long, but I have yet to see a list of detrimental actions.
If I am honest, I feel it was detrimental when he did not accept the election results. I think even though he believed and still does that he won the election he should have presented evidence that would be provable. Otherwise, he should have just accepted the results.
The country became even more divided after the 2020 election, that is the only issue that I can consider detrimental to the country. I feel while he was in office, he did a good job, I can't think of mistakes that were detrimental.
Q." What do you believe has been the most significant problem President Biden has created for himself, one for which he bears direct responsibility?"
A. He has tried to enrich himself and his family. He is kind to a fault toward them, but not toward the American people.
At all.
His focus is too narrow. He is directly responsible for his limited, self-oriented focus. He needs to expand his consciousness and become consciously aware of himself, the role he has assumed and the job he must do.
But he really can't see beyond the tip of his own eyelashes, (and leg hairs.)
I agree. He has little to no intelligence. This was apparent his entire time in Washington. I really could not believe it when the Democrats ran him. I guess they knew due to so many hating Trump they could put this puppet man in the White House. I am with Ken, Biden should not take all the blame. He feels that he makes others are making the decisions. I mean this war in Israel, this is serious stuff... So many will die. I really can't believe our Congress is not removing Biden due to his dangerous decision-making.
Yes, this body is doing the world wrong.
And we may get a spanking:
The biggest, hardest spanking in our history.
.... and all because we did not accept the fact, (as in mathematical facts, data and calculations), that the vote was STOLEN!
Closest thing I can relate to Bidenomics trickle down, that he is doubling down on. Is to the great depression, yet don't know for sure, didn't live it.
Not bad for a 80 year old man with a speech empediiment, clumsy legs, frail, part-timers, can't read the script on a teleprompter. A career politician like this, needs his diaper change every 4 years.
... take off the diaper and give him the spanking!!!
Okay, I'm done for a while.
That would be senior abuse by today's changed laws.
Only Trudeau here, has done more destruction to it's citizens society than Biden.
US still has actually more free speech venues than we do.
The leaders of Palestine and Israel should have meetings to compare and discuss the Guidelines for Happiness as stated in the Koran and the Bible.
Agree to the most important guidelines, such as The Ten Commandments, and follow laws based on them. However, I get the feeling that cooperation and harmonizing in this way would be very hard for the Palestinians, and I really do not understand why.
Biden contributed to the conflict of Ukraine and Israel. He has not helped and cannot help either country because the war machine is profiting. Pure and simple.
Follow the profits/profiters.
Correct, these conflicts could not have occurred without American funds and weapons.
The issue with this Administration is not that they provided funds and arms, but that they did so without covering up their tracks, almost obviously, as if they don't care who knows.
I think we see this arrogance in the current Administration throughout everything they do.
The attacks on our standards here in America, their attacks on foreign nations abroad, alienating allies to the point where they join with the nations we say are directly opposed to us.
I have been warning of this for a couple years now, how BRICS is looking to be free from the Dollar and American global dominance, but the Biden Administration has poured gas on that fire, speeding the process tenfold.
What might have taken another 20 years to occur the Administration through its actions has forced upon the world.
In starting the confrontation with Russia, they cut the EU (supposedly our allies) off from cheap Russian energy and raw materials needed for everything from food (fertilizers) to steel (ores).
They turned the spicket back on for Iran allowing them to trade their oil to western nations while also releasing billions of their funds that had been frozen, this allows them to fund all the radical terrorist groups that had been cut off from those finances under Trump.
Doesn't make much sense does it? When one considers Iran is aiding Russia fight its war against Ukraine, and that Iran's goal is to destroy Israel and the Great Satan supporting it.
Oh well... you vote the corrupt warmongering establishment puppets in, you support their efforts to enforce global tyranny abroad as well as at home, you deserve what you get.
And what we are going to get is WWIII.
With BRICS gaining strength with Africa, Middle east and Asia. I wondered how long after 50 years would the Palestinian children and youth grow up in a society characterised by fear, lack of security, hopelessness and the lack of work, medical services, food, freedom of movement and other essentials. Today many refer to the Gaza Strip as the world’s largest open-air prison, where the prison guard is Israel. Now NATO steps in and create another 9/11. If I lived in Israel or Ukraine I'd pack up my family and high tail it out of there in a heartbeat. Nothing worst than suffering and dying.
