Guest Post by Pat Buchanan
What Gov. Andrew Cuomo did to the nursing homes of New York — send COVID-positive patients back into them — Biden is doing to the USA… How do you control a pandemic when our 2,000-mile southern border is a crossing corridor for thousands of infected every single day?
Our mainstream media largely ignored it, the world media did not.
Ascending the stairs of Air Force One on Friday, to fly to Georgia, President Joe Biden slipped and stumbled. Getting up, he slipped again and then fell. The scene was jolting and disquieting.
Adversaries abroad will use it as a metaphor for the decline of the last superpower to emerge from the Cold War.
And while our major media may scoff at it, there is talk all over this town about what appears to be the visibly declining physical and mental capacity of this oldest of American presidents at 78.
Biden’s press conference this coming Thursday — after the longest delay before a first full presidential press conference since Cal Coolidge — will be as closely monitored as Ronald Reagan’s second debate in 1984, after he seemed to suffer a mental lapse in his first debate with Fritz Mondale.
But now, after his legislative triumph with the enactment of his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, Joe Biden has some new problems, all of his own making.
The COVID-19 pandemic he inherited, as Nixon inherited Vietnam in 1969. But Biden and the nation were fortunate in that, by the time he took the oath, two vaccines had been approved and the shots were being given to Americans at a rate of a million doses a day.
The new crisis on America’s border, however, with record numbers of children, teenagers and families arriving and asking for asylum, is almost entirely Biden’s doing.
By trashing Donald Trump’s border controls as inhumane and promising a more compassionate policy, Biden sent word to Central and South America and the world that the U.S. borders were open again. The result is what we see nightly on TV: Migrants crossing over into the USA in record numbers, with no end in sight.
What Gov. Andrew Cuomo did to the nursing homes of New York — send COVID-positive patients back into them — Biden is doing to the USA.
Of the thousands of illegal immigrants entering our country daily, few are tested for COVID-19 before being moved into the American heartland, carrying the infection with them.
How do you control a pandemic when our 2,000-mile southern border is a crossing corridor for thousands of infected every single day?
Biden’s people call this a “challenge.” But for the country, which seemed to be pulling out of the pandemic, it is a medical and security emergency and a national crisis.
Yet, it is not only on the domestic front that Biden and his people have created for themselves new and unnecessary crises.
Biden is only two months into his presidency but already has brought U.S.-China relations to the lowest level since the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989. And he has brought U.S.-Russian relations to the lowest level since Nikita Khrushchev blew up the Paris summit of May 1960 over President Eisenhower’s refusal to apologize for the U-2 spy flight over Russia that the Soviets had shot down.
Biden is himself responsible for the poisoned relations with Russia, after telling ABC that, yes, Vladimir Putin is “a killer” whom he once told to his face that he had no “soul.”
In chilling relations with China, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has played the lead role.
Before taking office, Blinken publicly charged the Chinese government with “genocide” in its treatment of the Uighurs. He then opened the two-day Anchorage meeting with a two-minute indictment of China for its actions in Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan — and got back a blistering 20-minute Chinese counterattack. The thrust of Beijing’s response:
Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong are Chinese national territories, and how we rule there is none of America’s business. Nor do you Americans have any superior moral claim or right to sit in judgment on us, given your own record with indigenous peoples and Black Americans.
Nor do you have any right to impose your democracy or values on us, when we prefer our system and our values. As for your claim to define for the world the so-called rules-based international order, we reject that, too, and intend to erect an order based upon our interests and our values.
So, stop trying to impose your democracy on us or the rest of the world which may not want it. The U.S. delegation can speak for the United States. It does not speak for the world, much of which openly rejects it.
By calling Vladimir Putin a “killer,” Biden seems to have aborted the kind of summitry with Moscow in which Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan and Bush I engaged during the Cold War when the Soviet Union was a far more menacing and hostile power than Putin’s Russia is today.
From Biden’s behavior in his first 60 days, we already seem fated to endure years more of deepening Cold War with Russia and China.
To what end this Biden-Blinken in-your-face diplomacy?

First, enough with the corona virus shit. It’s over. If it ever even started. The open border is a separate issue that stands on it’s own.
Second, No one seems to be asking/pointing out that Stumbles was ASKED a leading question. Why? Stephanopoulos isn’t smart enough to do that on his own. Who fed him that?
Third, not to stand up for Blinky, but the USSA addressed the Indian/black thing last century. You can debate the methods. China is fucking over the Uyghurs in China as we speak.
Can no one in the media point that out, considering the cover they have provided so far?
If you thing COVID is over, you are in for a big surprise. Not only is it not over, there is a very real possibility that because of the vaccines, it will turn into a “real” catastrophe.
If, as most believe, there are persons surrounding Biden who possess considerable, if unofficial, political power, is it not possible that there exists a back channel of communications between those persons and key players at the highest levels of the Russian and Chinese governments? And if so, is it possible that those on the Russian and Chinese sides of that back channel have been fully informed that Biden is merely a prop? We already know of soon-to-be President Harris’ phone calls with foreign heads of state. Is she functioning as the de facto American head of state, or at least as a representative of the small group actually running the show? Power abhors a vacuum, as the old saying goes, and if Mr. Biden is physically and mentally incapable of exercising that power, then the “laws” of politics suggest that one or more persons must be.
Nobody ever prosecutes the employers of these 10-20-30 million illegals. Meanwhile, 10-20-30 million citizens sit around doing nothing living on handouts.
Biden likely has difficulty creating a solid stool.
Anyone who believes that he is even aware of what’s going on is exceedingly hopeful.
Just hope Jill doesn’t let him wear white then.
Biden is creating nothing, he is the face of the democrat communist party. The effort to destroy America and individualism or individual freedom if you wish is what all of this crap is about, and never forget greed as the treasury is being pillaged daily.
What the hell is this info links highlighting stuff? I don’t give them permission.
One way to avoid the info link ad is simply send admin 25 bucks per day.
Biden and Harris repeatedly appearing together. against security protocols.
China might take out a Carrier, but after that they get vaporized in the Wok
“China might take out a Carrier, but after that….”
It’s usually the “after that” part of war which gets complicated. Seriously, unless the FUSA gets its act together pronto, the willingness of the modern American population to “fight a war”, or even be seriously inconvenienced, in order to advance what DC says are our national interests is very, very questionable.
Napoleon noted that “in battle the moral is to the physical as three is to one”. The Chinese military is not ten feet tall, but the neither is the USA: Americans have become moral pygmies.
It’s gonna take an awfully big false flag to get the current US population to rally to the cause. Personally, I’m more likely to get out to work, de-railing trains….
Most ‘migrants’ will vote democrat. And the influx of non-whites will mean that white people won’t have a voting majority in our own country anymore, very pleasing to the jew.
Pat writes because if he stops he dies, just like a shark that has to constantly swim. He is a sharp man but he fails to see the big picture. He thinks we can reason with each other. No can do.
Pat was sharp in the 80’s and early 90’s, but has lost a step or 12 the past 25 years.
I will always think highly of Pat Buchanan. But I no longer read much of what he writes… it’s mostly non-helpful for today’s world.
I sure wish that the so-called conservatives/GOPers would stop calling it a crisis. It’s the plan, and it’s malevolently magnificent.
‘Crisis’ is synonymous with ‘opportunity.’
