Report Card Time

 


It’s been about a week since President Joseph Robinette Biden marked his first year in office.  Just like countless kids and some adults, he is due a report card to see how well he is performing.

 

Since learning is part of performing daily tasks, this seems like an ideal time to more closely examine Biden’s ability to both perform and learn through his life’s lessons. And there’s no better time like the present to make course corrections and changes, as needed.

 

Report Card for Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States of America

 

Economics                              Grade: F        Details: Joe is apparently not well-briefed in handling money, especially money of people other than Joe.

 

 

Inflation                                 Grade: F        Details: Because of his limited knowledge of how over-spending directly affects inflation, he earned a solid F in his handling of inflation.  By the way, his inflation numbers are the highest in over 40-years.

 

 

Public Health                         Grade: D-       Details: Once again, Joe’s ideas of how medicine and health works are poor, at best.  He’s been listening to others in the guvment and apparently has been applying the worst of that information on the entire nation.  Further, Joe appears incapable of making a decision on things like wearing masks, how many shots are really necessary, and whether lockdowns are necessary or effective.

 

 

Geography                             Grade: B        Details: Joe got a B because he seems to have the brain of a homing pigeon inasmuch as he can certainly find Delaware, but has yet to locate Mexico.

 

 

International Relations         Grade: F        Details: With intentions of making a grandiose statement, Joe hastily withdrew American troops from a 20-year conflict in Afghanistan.  His point was muddied by directing the military to simply depart the country without concern of other trapped Americans and American allies.  Selfish.

 

 

Military Strategy                   Grade: D-       Details: With the Afghanistan disaster only six-months old, Joe appears to be overly eager to directly confront Russia in a saber-rattling scenario in Ukraine.  His vision for Taiwan is further questionable as China has also expressed it displeasure over Joe’s threats concerning this Far East danger zone.

 

 

Reaching Across the Aisle    Grade: F        Details: “Antagonistic” is the best word to describe how Joe deals with his cohorts in both Congress and the Senate.  He publicly promises to work multilaterally, but quickly changes his tune when others balk at his hare-brained ideas.

 

 

Conventional Energy            Grade: F        Details: Literally within minutes of his swearing-in, in January 2021, Joe felt it necessary to immediately stop the flow of American crude oil through the Keystone XL pipeline.  This action caused the price of gasoline to rise more than a dollar-per-gallon, with no end in sight.  Also, as a result, he is now begging other countries for foreign oil to replace our inexpensive crude defeating the purpose of world-wide clean air.

 

 

Alternative Energy                Grade: D        Details: Joe has been agog about alternative energy for years, particularly solar and rechargeable sources.  To help Americans, Joe’s administration is offering up to $10,000 for people to purchase electric cars; unfortunately, those e-vehicles cost upwards of $90,000 – far out of the range of the average American who cannot afford food, much less an overly expensive vehicle.

 

 

Build Back Better                  Grade F          Details: This campaign is best described as “goofy.”  He has been relying on this nebulous catch phrase to attempt to rally the country for such inane things as college debts and creating new, higher taxes at a time when the economy is sinking like the Titanic.

 

 

Infrastructure                        Grade D         Details: Joe seems to have a problem conceptually understanding the link between inflation and the value of the dollar.  His infrastructure plan includes child day care, railroad maintenance, and bridge and road repair.  There seems to be an overlap in the bridge and road repair from the Obama administration who supposedly earmarked billions of dollars for those repairs.

 

 

Candor                                   Grade F          Details: Besides having imaginary friends, Joe is happy to invent schools, degrees, accomplishments, and false accusations.  He fabricated a tale about a train conductor he allegedly saw every weekend, a fellow named “Corn Pop,” and his stellar grades from law school; unfortunately, he did not graduate in the top of his class – rather he found himself at the bottom.  He further tried to distance himself from known, confirmed racists such as the late Sen. Robert Byrd, who he personally eulogized.  This is especially disturbing because he enjoys pointing his finger at anyone disagreeing with him and calling them “racist.”

 

 

Athletic Abilities                    Grade D         Details: Joe has publicly demonstrated his athletic abilities on the playground with aplomb during a bicycle ride with his wife and Secret Service Agents; for that he deserves a “C.”  Alas, he fell UP the stairs of Air Force One – three times.  For that, he gets an “F.”  I averaged that out to a “D.”

 

 

Care of Animals                    Grade D-        Details: Upon his inauguration, Joe introduced two German Shepherds he had raised in Delaware as a Senator.  One of those was poorly trained and bit several Secret Service Agents; suddenly the dogs vanished without much explanation.  He now has another German Shepherd puppy.  He should realize that dogs are not items which can simply be disposed of.

 

 

As is evident, Joe has many shortcomings in his life that are not conducive to a strong leader of a once-strong country.  It’s clear he needs remedial attention lest he only make things in America, worse.  It’s time to reevaluate his skills and abilities.
