President Joe Biden is "Rattled," according to NBC News, and "Looking to regain voters' confidence that he can provide the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign."
On May 30, Biden published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that explained "My Plan for Fighting Inflation." The next day, Biden wrote a "Guest essay" for the New York Times on "What America Will and Will Not Do in Ukraine."
"The Federal Reserve has a primary responsibility to control inflation." You wouldn't know that from listening to Progressives, including some of Biden's nominees to the Federal Reserve, who argue that the Fed's interest in price stability distracts it from promoting full employment, green energy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Parts two and three of Biden's inflation plan are the remnants of his Build Back Better agenda: some clean energy and housing subsidies here, a few tax hikes there.
As for the obvious answers to America's energy problems-a complete reversal of Biden's hostility to oil and gas exploration and production, huge investments in nuclear power, and emergency efforts to increase refinery capacity-Biden has no words.
Why limit the weapons deliveries to systems with ranges of 40 miles? Why slow-walk and agonize over each tranche of support? Why engage with Russia in farcical and dangerous negotiations over Iran's nuclear weapons? Why not take a more active role in peace talks between Ukraine and Russia? The Biden policy is static even as the shape of the war changes in ways that favor the aggressor.
Absent a change in Biden administration policy-in the ranges of weapons systems America provides Ukraine, in the establishment of a humanitarian corridor to relieve the Russian blockade of Ukrainian Black Sea ports, or in a major diplomatic effort-the war will turn into a frozen conflict with no clear resolution and with mounting humanitarian costs.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.

The closer attention you pay to Biden, the less he has to say
