Letter to the editor: Biden administration is destructive

It must be obvious to all non-cognitive challenged citizens that the Biden administration is the most incompetent and destructive in our history. The policy choices made on serious matters have been horrendous. A few examples among many: the southern border debacle, destroying energy independence, economic policies that retard growth, the race calamity, crime, massive spending and inflation.

And now our catastrophic Afghan withdrawal. President Biden’s decision permitting the Taliban to be in charge is unconscionable, perhaps even treasonous. This weakness has and will result in preventable American deaths and will have negative ramifications for America’s foreign policy far into the future. Our allies will no longer trust us and our enemies will use this failure to undermine America throughout the third world.

Our genius founders designed a government with checks and balances to guard against implementing disastrous policies. Unfortunately, our Congress and especially the Democratic component fail to exercise leadership to stop or modify Biden’s destructive policies. Where are you, Sen. Bob Casey and Rep. Conor Lamb?

America is at risk, driven by the national political class and their elite constituents. The task of saving America rests with the typical citizen. The avenues are grassroots participation and voting to keep the Biden/Harris/Schumer/Pelosi types out of office.
