Running the world

 During ABC News' exclusive interview with President Joe Biden on July 5th, 2024, the following statement was made:

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: “Look. I have a cognitive test every single day. Every day I have that test. Everything I do. You know, not only am I campaigning, but I'm running the world.”

It is telling that the President of the United States' statement claiming he is "running the world" did not elicit any remarks from the interviewer or the subsequent reporting press.  Do the citizens of the United States expect or approve of their President “running the world”?

Central planning has always and everywhere been a failure.  The approximately 205 sovereign states of the world might not agree with President Joe Biden’s assessment of his authority.

Apparently, President Joe Biden has decided to enhance the cold war title “leader of the free world” that was first applied to President Harry S. Truman.  This is arrogance characteristic of an empire not a constitutional republic.

Compare our current President’s opinion of US foreign policy (and apparently the opinion of the main stream media) with that of two esteemed prior Presidents.

During his first inaugural address on March 4, 1801, Thomas Jefferson described the essential principles of our government: “Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political; peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none…”

John Quincy Adams delivered a speech on July 4, 1821, celebrating the anniversary of American independence while serving as Secretary of State under President James Monroe. In this speech, Adams articulated his vision of American foreign policy, emphasizing the principles of non-intervention and neutrality.  "Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her [America’s] heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own."

Consider this: Would you enjoy greater individual liberty and a lower burden of national debt today if the USA had adhered to the advice of Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams?

  1. Yes, we would be much better off if we adhered to the founding fathers' vision and Constitution. We have lost sight of the purpose of the Federal government - to protect the citizens and states.

  2. Biden says, "Look. I have a cognitive test every single day." Why didn't George Steph. and other reporters jump at the opportunity to respond back: "And that is why, Mr. President, we are all asking you would you take a cognitive test today...BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE DAY YOU HAVE DEMONSTRATED SOME FORM OF MENTAL IMPAIRMENT...Otherwise we wouldn't be asking you EVERY SINGLE DAY whether or not you have have had a cognitive test done."
