As I've watched the events of the past few weeks – and thought about the nature of Joe Biden’s young presidency – I began to ask myself: How much more of this can we take? In just seven months, President Biden has overseen a remarkable number of complete blunders. To make sense of them all and consider how to overcome them, I decided to make a list of them.
Of course, it would take months of time and writing to list all the errors Biden has made in his 48 years in politics, so I decided to start at his inauguration in January.

day after at least 13 U.S. soldiers were killed at the Kabul airport, it’s still unclear how many Americans will be abandoned in Afghanistan by the Biden administration. What we do know, though, is that most of the U.S. weaponry in the country will not be recovered. It’s as if Joe Biden himself was the military procurement chief for the Taliban. Until Thursday, there had been no U.S. combat casualties in Afghanistan since February of last year. But a bloodbath that the entire world outside of the White House saw coming arrived, and it became the deadliest day in the country for American troops since 2011

President Biden is being attacked from all sides after the deaths of at least 13 American service members Thursday in an ISIS-K terrorist at the Kabul airport, with calls for his impeachment and resignation from some. The outrage over the American deaths Thursday was compounded by news that the U.S. gave the Taliban the names of Americans and Afghan allies it wanted to evacuate.
The political crisis for Biden follows a foreign policy crisis in Afghanistan after the Taliban swept into power as American troops withdrew from the country on Biden's orders. And even Democrats are criticizing the president's actions. Prior to yesterday's bombings

Arrogance is the mask incompetence wears. And so, as President Biden’s failures become more obvious, his spine stiffens. He reportedly ignored intelligence community assessments to make his now infamous July 8 claim that a swift Taliban victory was “highly unlikely.” He did not correct course even after shaken State Department officials warned of a coming crisis on July 13. As the human tragedy unfolds for millions of Afghanis because Biden failed to take basic steps to protect them, the president refuses to admit errors. As billions of dollars’ worth of U.S. military hardware falls into the hands of the Taliban and their pals from al-Qaeda

The former Democratic majority leader for the California state Senate, Gloria Romero, endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder in a campaign video. "Our public schools need big change. I’m Gloria Romero; I was the majority leader of Democrats in the state senate. I believe in charter schools and and school choice. So does Larry Elder — but not Gavin Newsom. He shut our public schools while he sent his kids to private schools," Romero says in a video released by the Elder campaign. "Yes: I’m a Democrat. But the recall of Newsom is not about political party. It’s about Newsom. Larry Elder for governor," she adds.

The Taliban’s seizure of Afghanistan — emboldened by President Joe Biden’s senseless decision to rush U.S troops out of the country without a plan — blindsided the Afghan government, the Afghan military, and America’s allies. This reckless decision has led to bipartisan criticism in the United States and from our global allies, and ridicule by America’s adversaries.
Biden’s attempts to blame everyone but himself for this fiasco, his refusal to take press questions for nearly a week (except from sycophantic George Stephanopoulos), and his decision to hide at Camp David while these events unfolded have only intensified criticism. As commander-in-chief, Biden is at fault for this disaster. But his senior security

Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen told "America's Newsroom" that Biden has given radical Islamic terrorists, including Al-Qaeda, the tools they need to conduct attacks potentially deadlier than 9/11. MARC THIESSEN: If Al Qaeda reconstitutes itself in Afghanistan and starts carrying out attacks on the West—there’s gonna be a backlash alright and the politics are going to be very bad for Joe Biden…
When we talk about ending endless wars—radical Islam hasn’t ended its war against us. People take for granted the fact that we haven’t been hit since 9/11 like the terrorists lost interest or something. No, it’s because we’ve had our boot on their necks all over the world…

The Biden administration has moved to quickly process migrants streaming across the southern border but has not been able to speed up the processing times for Afghan interpreters and other allies who assisted in America's 20-year war effort. The White House announced last month that it will speed up asylum claim processing for migrants at the southern border, claiming in a release that they are seeking to "fair, orderly and humane" immigration system after the Trump administration policies "unjustly prevent individuals from obtaining asylum."

Oh, for the days when trolls were mythological creatures, living in Nordic caves. Today, they live online, poking us with bitter invective instead of intelligent arguments. That’s what some of President Biden’s defenders are doing, now that he is struggling. With only a weak defense to offer, most are in hiding. The few who venture out in public have turned to a last resort: trolling anyone who dares to criticize the president. Their favorite taunt is “Do you want the president to fail?” The point here, apparently, is to try and inoculate Biden against any criticism by suggesting that to question his actions is tantamount to wanting

President Biden promised that the United States would welcome Afghan allies escaping the Taliban into the U.S., but only after they have been "screened and cleared" at military bases and transit centers.
Biden said that the U.S. has set up processing stations in third countries, "working with more than two dozen countries across four continents." When planes take off from Kabul, they go to U.S. military bases and these processing stations," he said in a press briefing on Sunday.
"Once screened and cleared, we will welcome these Afghans… to their new home in the United States of America," Biden pledged.
The president also said the Taliban has to

Last year, during the presidential campaign, Joe Biden promised the American people his administration would be characterized by order, discipline, experience, and, above all, competence.
That has turned out to be spectacularly and obviously wrong.
As we watch the spiraling disaster that is the withdrawal – which, unlike its antecedent collapse in Saigon, is likely to get worse, not better in the coming weeks — fundamental questions arise about the competence of the Biden administration and what the answers might mean for the remainder of its agenda.

The past week was filled with harrowing images out of Afghanistan. Helicopters evacuating U.S. embassy staff in a visual callback to the fall of Saigon. Taliban soldiers roaming the streets, executing innocents. Afghans clinging to the outside of C-17s, some falling to their deaths after takeoff. Like most Americans, I agreed with Presidents Trump and Biden’s goal to finally leave Afghanistan after 20 years. In my naivete, I expected a modicum of competence as we withdrew. By Sunday, everyone realized the withdrawal was a tactical fiasco. But instead of correcting the problems, our governmental officials thought it best to point fingers.
