UNFORCED ERRORS

The term "unforced error" is used a lot in sports, especially tennis. Loosely defined it is a mistake made by someone who should know better. Often those mistakes are left to others to fix.

 

What's this got to do with what is happening in the world today, you ask? Well I'll tell you. On Biden's first official day in office, he committed his first of many unforced errors. With a stroke of his pen he set in motion one of the worst inflation periods this country has ever experienced. He basically declared war on the fossil fuel industry. Anybody with half a brain knows this country cannot exist without a liberal supply of fossil fuel. Biden, apparently bowing to the so-called progressive wing of his party, made this first unforced error.  Now the Federal Reserve is busily trying to unscrew Biden’s screw-up. I heard the chairman of the Federal Reserve say that the only way to get inflation under control is to raise interest rates. Trump was asked at a recent town hall what he would do to bring down inflation. His answer was clear, "Drill, baby, drill." Now there are a lot of people who are smarter than me, but I believe that is the answer. I don't see how raising the cost of everything with interest rate hikes, brings prices down. Maybe I needed a few more years of economics training.

 

Ever since Biden has been in office he seems determined to destroy everything Trump established. With his war on fossil fuel we are no longer energy independent. Obviously we need the fossil fuel. This then makes us beholding to countries who are not friendly to us. So now we are energy dependent.

 

Everything we have, whether it be food, clothing, or materials, is delivered to us using fossil fuels. Without doubt, if we survive as a human race, alternative fuels will be in our future but they’re not here now. 

 

Another unforced error is Biden’s handling of our southern border. There are more people trespassing across our border than we can imagine. They are bringing their poverty, their diseases, and their illegal drugs with them. Most of our southwest border cities are overwhelmed. Our hospital emergency rooms, our schools, our food kitchens, are inundated with non-citizens. We have to get a handle on this. This country can’t sustain the ongoing invasion of people from all over the world. We also cannot go into foreign countries trying to improve their standard of living so that their people will want to stay home.

 

I want to close this with this thought. Attention Democrats, everything that Trump did was not bad. In fact, most of it was very good. You decided to inflict Joe Biden on us and now we all see what that has caused. We have to end these errors, unforced or otherwise. We need competence in government and we need to get rid of Biden and his gang.
