Excellent, John. I concur. This is a bad Biden decision and more dangerous than you describe. Unfortunately, we are down to the wire as he intends to announce his candidacy this week -- more apology than celebration.

But bad decisions are no novelty to Joe Biden. His choice of VP was one. Others are complete misdirections that need to be broadly understood but will cost America plenty in the years ahead. Returning to "the good old days" of manufacturing in the U.S. is a whopper mistake.

Those chip industry jobs are estimated to cost America $M6 a piece before the ongoing expense. The chip industry in America will NEVER make money (steel and shipbuilding were once profitable). We look at decades of hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies before abandoning the industry.

With all the experts available to him, Biden either needed help understanding or listening to them.

Foreign policy is in a worse state. And again, most don't realize it. We need to have adequate communication with the Chinese leadership. We have slow-walked Ukraine every step of the way. Biden failed to see the opportunity in Afghanistan to elevate women's status worldwide.

To illustrate how awry our foreign policy is, President Biden ordered hobbyists' balloons (the cost and size of Walmart toasters) shot from the sky by $400,000 missiles fired from Lockheed Martin F-22s. All in the call for "Doing something about China."

Jesus, help us!

Many thanks. Best.
