In a humiliating military withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, 13 U.S. service members were killed. Biden left the Taliban terrorists in control of Afghanistan with $7 billion of our military equipment, including 40,000 military vehicles and 78 aircraft, allowing the regime to rule with “an iron fist.”
Biden also abandoned Bagram Airfield, which is critically important. As President Donald Trump noted, it is “an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons.” He called it “one of the biggest air bases in the world” that we gave to the Taliban “for nothing.”
Biden was also a disastrous President domestically. His economic policies led to a surging federal debt, high inflation and soaring interest rates, which made the “American Dream” of home ownership impossible for millions of young couples.
In addition, Biden was horrific in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Under his administration, there were approximately 800,000 deaths, double the total from the Trump administration.
Biden supported draconian policies such as lockdowns, as well as vaccine and mask mandates. Fortunately, these policies were vigorously challenged in court by liberty-minded organizations.
He also elevated the role of Dr. Anthony Fauci to his “Chief Medical Adviser” and “Chief COVID-19 Adviser.” This mistake was revealed last week as U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released Fauci’s diaries, exposing his lies to the American people.
Instead of addressing the discrepancies between his public statements and his diaries, Fauci refused to answer any questions. As a witness before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Fauci invoked the 5th Amendment 111 times.
Unfortunately, the quest to hold Fauci accountable for serious crimes will be difficult, as he was given a pardon by Biden, who issued 4,245 acts of clemency during his administration, the most of any U.S. President.
There is an ongoing controversy about the Biden pardons, as most were signed by an autopen. Whether Biden knew who he was pardoning is a legitimate question.
