**Bad Guys in the White House

Bad Guys in the White House
Americans have elected some dubious people to run our show,
and it always leads to pain. However, there's a difference between
personal badness and terrible policy. For example, President
Carter was a well-intentioned man but was in way over his head,
hurting the country in significant ways.
Conversely, Thomas Jefferson cannot be considered a good guy
but was a political genius. Many of the citizen protections he
advocated remain in place today.
I write about all this in "Confronting the Presidents," as
the struggle to find "good" leaders is, of course, ongoing. We had
another chaotic situation this year, so it is worth looking back.
Elected in 1856, President James Buchanan was by a wide margin
the worst president of all time, as we document in the book.
Cowardly, with no sympathy at all for enslaved human beings, Buc-
hanan did nothing as the South rose in ferocity. His weak admin-
istration directly led to the Civil War.
President John Tyler was actually a traitor. Lyndon Johnson
and Warren Harding exceedingly corrupt. And then there's President
Joe Biden.
Although my coauthor Martin Dugard dissents, I consider Mr.
Biden the second worst president in history. Most bad presidents
inherited problems they couldn't fix or made worse. Think Herbert
Hoover. He didn't cause the Great Depression but was clueless in
helping Americans gravely damaged by it.
Joe Biden is a different cat, as Dennis Miller might say. He
created problems. On his first day in office, he opened the southern
border to millions of migrants now in the country unsupervised.
Biden didn't have to do it. Congress wasn't even involved. Joe
simply waved everyone in and has never explained why.
Even the often-inebriated Franklin Pierce would have been
appalled.
And remember that Biden, Vice President Harris, and Homeland
Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas all told the country the border
was secure for three years.
But then, confronting an election, they suddenly changed their
minds, which might qualify them for the Cynicism Hall of Fame.
No doubt Andrew Jackson would have called this out in a big
way, maybe with a dueling pistol.
President Biden also drove the inflation rate from 1.4 percent
to more than 9 percent. Working Americans continue to suffer from
that. Joe blamed the surging prices on Trump. Two words: homework,
dog.
Biden and Harris cede nothing, of course. Few bad leaders do.
Buchanan wrote a book blaming the Civil War on Congress. Nobody
read it.
Finally, in order to cast a responsible vote, you have to know
stuff. That's not easy in a country where propaganda is now a
thriving industry. That's why I wrote "Confronting" to provide
perspective about the lows and highs of presidential votes.
Finally, she probably doesn't know it, but Kamala Harris is
doing exactly what Warren Harding did in his 1920 campaign: no
meaningful interviews.
And while Warren H. got away with it, the country was very
badly served by his White House presence.
Worth considering 104 years later.**
Since Bill wrote this, we have a cumulative inflation of over
23%, costing the average family $1200 per month over 2019. He sold
off over half of the nations Strategic Petroleum Reserves. Gas
prices reached $5 a gallon, many grocery items have doubled, and
so many other things that ALL could have been avoided.
The corrupt Democratic Party was so screwed up that they form-
ed a coup and kicked Joe to the side and installed Kamala Harris
as the candidate for President without a single vote in primary
and she proceeded to destroy the party and hand Trump a his second
term.
Now the Left is trying to start WWIII out of their hatred for
Trump, Republicans, and the American people.
God has given us another chance to save our nation and Trump
has hit the ground running. His cabinet is made of qualified souls
that want what is best for the U.S. and not what is in it for them
but what's best for ALL Americans.
So now we are blessed to get rid of the Biden Crime family and
a large percentage of the corrupt media, so now we wait until we
can stop the racism and "The View"
We have an awesome God and hopefully a new beginning.
Conservatively,
John
