Joe Biden is a miserable failure as president across the board, but few examples are quite as vivid as his failure in Latin America where he is doing literally nothing as the place goes to hell in a handbasket.
The neglect is so bad even Democrats are embarrassed.
According to Politico:
Biden’s diplomatic team has spent most of his first term trying to rebuild alliances in Europe and Asia stressed by former President Donald Trump’s brash nationalism. They have only recently started to turn their attention to Latin America, but lawmakers and corporate officials alike say those efforts are scant — and their patience is starting to wear thin.

Once upon a time, New York City's top urban planning strongman, Robert Moses, built highways and bridges across and into New York City, aiming to stop traffic congestion.
And more of them. And more. Moses is why New York City has the Triborough Bridge, the Brooklyn-Battery Link, Interstate 278, the Cross Bronx Expressway, and many other passageways. He built them all, and then he built some more.
And as every journalism student, having read Robert Caro's The Power Broker, would know, Moses was astonished. Instead of less traffic coming into Manhattan from the outer boroughs and beyond -- there was more. Manhattan became more traffic-congested than ever as a result,

Some eighty-one percent of Democrat voters are perfectly happy to keep supporting Joe Biden for reelection to the presidency.
But there's one subcategory among them that is scaring the heck out of Democrat pollsters: Black men, whose support for the old dotard has cratered.
Biden is down by thirty points among this normally loyal political group. A very significant number just don't want to vote for him.
According to the Daily Caller, citing a Washington Post report:
Black voters are significantly less enthused about a Biden reelection campaign than they were in 2020, with only 55% saying they’re likely to support him in 2024, according to an early May AP/NORC poll.

President Trump has had a lot of ups and downs in his real estate career, which means his relations with banks and credit can be pretty dicey. The matter was made worse for him in the wake of the January 6 protests, where wokester banks outright cut him off.
His Trump Organization financial operation however did find a bank that would loan to his organization, a relatively small bank in San Diego called Axos Bank. and that set the Washington Post scrambling to look for some seedy Biden-style corruption.
They found nothing.
They must have spent some time on this, however, because they ran a story, and had to satisfy themselves with innuendo

Are the Democrats the only ones with a "Dianne Feinstein" problem, that of entrenched leaders who are visibly shambling apart, yet impossible to remove from power?
Sure looks like it, with the sudden seize or freeze up of Senate Minotiry Leader Mitch McConnell yesterday:
Here is the tweeted video of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnelll, aged 83 suddenly going silent during a speech: (Snip for tweet) We've seen this sort of incapacity in Feinstein, a 90-year old Democrat whose infirmities should require her to retire from office, and in Democrat Sen. John Fetterman, who cannot plausibly serve in his post-stroke condition, as well in Joe Biden himself,

When your whole life is about freeloading, and from only the best, what's the problem with bumming a ride on Air Force One?
Which is what Prince Harry and his disastrous wife were caught trying to do.
Seriously.
Here is the story from the New York Post:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tried to hitch a ride back to America on Air Force One after the Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral but were quickly rebuffed.
Sources told the Daily Mail Wednesday that it was an immediate no from the White House, adding that the request was a “non-starter.”

Who needs enemies when you've got Gen. Mark Milley running the Pentagon?
Here's the latest military fiasco on his watch, as reported by the Financial Times (second link here):
Millions of US military emails were misrouted to Mali by a “typographical leak” that exposed highly sensitive information, including diplomatic documents, tax returns, passwords and travel details of senior officers.
Despite repeated warnings over a decade, the steady stream of email traffic to the .ML domain, the country identifier for Mali, continues to be the result of people mistyping .MIL, the suffix for all US military email addresses.

MEXICO CITY -Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Monday urged Mexican-Americans not to vote for Texas Governor Greg Abbott in response to Texas putting a barrier of orange buoys in the Rio Grande to stop migrants crossing into the United States.
Mexico's incoming foreign minister, Alicia Barcena, said last week that the barrier violates a water treaty and may intrude on Mexican territory.
"We don't have to do much, just tell our compatriots not to vote for the governor of Texas or for lawmakers of the Republican Party who support these measures," Lopez Obrador said in a press conference when asked about the Texan initiative.

How's this for a fake controversy generated by wokester identity-politics fanatics?
A top country music star named Luke Combs pulled in a number-one hit by singing the 1988 song of a black female folk singer named Tracy Chapman, and instead of celebrating that happy revival, the radical left is out complaining,
True to form, the Washington Post has created a fake controversy by quoting a malcontent:
To quite a few people, this is cause for yet another celebration in Combs's whirlwind journey as the genre's reigning megastar with 16 consecutive No. 1 hits. But it has also prompted a wave of complicated feelings among some listeners and in the Nashville music community.

A few days ago, Americans were treated to this "edifying: spectacle: (Snip for tweet) Joe Biden looks wretched -- sleepy-eyed, strident, bitter, sneering, mirthless, slurry-voiced, and ugly.
If this is his best campaign face to the public, he's in a world of trouble. (Snip for screen shots) But that's not nearly as bad as the claim he is making -- that he's somehow creating jobs across the country, and here's this place where he's out waving his magic job wand in Marjorie Taylor Greene's district in Georgia to "prove" it.
Since I took office, we've seen over 60 domestic manufacturing announcements, all across the solar supply chain.

Pete Buttigieg has announced he's taking over the White House social media feed in order to tout Joe Biden's achievements. (Snip for Tweet) What could go wrong.
To start with, the plan looks suspiciously close to being part of Biden's presidential campaign re-election strategy, given that Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom are out touring the country to do the exact same thing. For Pete, that would violate the Hatch Act, which prohibits political campaigning while on the job.
But let's put that aside.
The front screen shot of the ad is so bad, what with that closeup of Pete with his mouth wide open it looks like a political enemy created it.

Bud Light, which reportedly saw a catastrophic drop in sales just prior to the Fourth of July weekend, still doesn't seem to get it.
Here's their latest ad, featuring their customers in the act of grunting: [Snip for tweet] They are male, they are hetero, but they aren't exactly classy or uplifting as the cameras focus on a few pot bellies along with grunts away for the cameras.
It would seem to go against basic marketing principles, as customers like to feel uplifted about their purchase of a product, which was why Budweiser's Clydesdale horse ads in the past have been so effective.
Comments:
Like Robert Moses, Joe Biden built migrants more pathways. The result is the same ... more traffic, more migrants.
