The Two Worst
By: Bill O'Reilly .April 23, 2023
March 4, 1857, was a cool, breezy day in Washington, D.C. Penn-
sylvanian James Buchanan had been elected the 15th President of the
United States with one overriding mandate: keep the United States
together.
Buchanan, a bachelor and career politician, was succeeding the
hapless, often intoxicated Franklin Pierce, who allowed the country
to fall into disarray over slavery. Buchanan was supposed to fix
that.
It started badly. Old Buch's Inaugural Address was a mealy-
mouthed batch of nothing.
"All agree that under the Constitution slavery in the states
is beyond the reach of any power ..."
Foolish blather that engendered joy among plantation owners in
Dixie. The new President would not confront the evil of slavery. And
that's exactly what happened throughout the next four years; James
Buchanan sat in the Executive Mansion doing nothing while the South
destroyed any semblance of federal power.
It is said the White House is haunted. If so, the ghost of
Old Buch must be best friends with the foggy Joe Biden, the 46th
President of the United States. The two are kindred spirits, so to
speak.
President Biden's mandate is to solve difficult problems like
illegal immigration and racial animus. The truth is he has made
those vexations far worse, just as Buchanan did with the slave
issue.
The best illustration is the southern border which is under
siege by foreign nationals trying to find a better life in America.
On Biden's watch, nearly seven million migrants have illegally
crossed the border, with thousands more coming every day. That
collapse of federal authority has led to chaos throughout the
country. Just last week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a liberal
Democrat, said the unfettered flow of migrants is destroying the
fabric of the nation's largest city.
Biden's open border policy has also led to a record number
of narcotics coming into the USA, including heroin and fentanyl. In
2022, the DEA seized 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder, double the
amount seized in 2021.
Of course, drug overdose deaths are at a record level as
well, with hundreds of thousands of Americans dying.
Joe Biden rarely speaks to the press, but his administration
says there is no crisis at the border. And in the President's
clouded mind, there isn't. Like Buchanan, Biden doesn't want to
confront the problem. He will not even try.
The proof of that is Biden's January meeting with President
Obrador in Mexico City. Obrador has lost control of his country to
the drug cartels. Last year, there were more than 50,000 murders
of "disappearances" in Mexico. In the USA, with almost three times
the population, there were 26,000 homicides.
Obrador has no interest in halting drug trafficking and il-
legal migration. Mexicans working in the USA send home an estimat-
ed $60 billion dollars every year. Cartel money fuels Obrador's
economy. Outrageously, the Mexican President even taunts Americans
for consuming narcotics saying the entire criminal mess is our
fault.
So you would think Biden would be getting tough on Obrador,
whose administration is hurting every American. But, no. Biden's
trip to Mexico City looked like an outtake from the Three Amigos
movie. The whole thing was an embarrassing slap-and-tickle display.
Somewhere, James Buchanan is nodding with a smile. Like sla-
very, there is nothing to be done by President Biden. Just go with
the flow - of drugs and poor people.
President Buchanan was a dangerous incompetent whose apathy
led to massive death and destruction.
So is President Biden.**
It seems to get worse everyday and on very frequent occasions
Biden HAS to be standing alone as the worse.
Never have I seen anyone shatter the "Peter Principle" like
Biden has and he is killing the United States and doesn't seem to
care which is very sad.
We have to pray that God will intervene and save our nation
and every Christian on Earth. No one is above being saved by God's
forgiving grace.
Conservatively,
John
