In this week’s White House report card: • Biden orders expensive military missiles to shoot down toy balloons • White House ignores the escalating environmental crisis in East Palestine • And more.
The president and his administration have been slow to respond to the twin issues, with Biden just late this week telling the public what he knew about the Chinese spy balloon and others floating over the U.S. And there are calls for the firing of his inattentive Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg over the chemical train wreck and fire in Ohio.It was also another week of not-so-great economic news.
Biden finally spoke about the balloons on Thursday to a limited number of reporters who were “pre-credentialed” so that Biden’s press team could weed out anyone from conservative media outlets. He said that the last three balloons weren’t from China but were shot down because he wanted to approach the issue with an abundance of caution. That caution extends — according to Vice President Kamala Harris — to thinking that the spy balloon shouldn’t impact U.S.-China relations.
To top it all off, on Wednesday, speaking to a labor group about Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Biden said, “He’s the real deal, and the boy looked like he could still play. He got some guns on him.” To say the least, calling a black man “boy” is an intolerable racial slur. If a Republican made such a remark, the media would be covering it 24/7, with every reporter spitting blood and demanding the Republican be imprisoned and driven out of politics. But Biden goes on and on and on.
