The Fist Bump Follies

The media unloaded a barrage of criticism at President Joe Biden over his visit to the Middle East. The Washington Post said it was “shameful.” CNN said it was “a disaster.”

I agree completely. Except they’re totally missing the point. They are absurdly attacking Biden for the stupidity of his fist bump with the Saudi crown prince. The real issue, however, is that the trip was an abject failure. 

Saudi Arabia is a strategically placed nation that controls much of the world’s vital energy resources. Russia and communist China are working overtime to influence the Middle East.

Donald Trump went to Saudi Arabia in the strongest position of any American president in modern history. The Saudis welcomed him with an elaborate “extravaganza.” 

Joe Biden went to Saudi Arabia in the weakest position in history because of his globalist agenda that is pushing socialism in the name of climate change. He has spent the entirety of his administration undermining the greatest American national security asset – our vibrant energy industry. 

Biden is draining 180 million barrels of oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve while he’s over there begging the Saudis to drill for more oil! He’s selling millions of barrels of our oil to communist China!

I doubt Biden will ever try to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Or if he does, his own party will block him, just as they blocked Trump from refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

The people attacking Joe Biden over the fist bump are unserious people fretting over unserious things. We have an America Last president pursuing America Last policies. 

Biden is intentionally destroying America’s energy industry. That is the left’s goal. His left-wing critics are angry that he’s not doing it fast enough.
