Joe Biden made a big deal of promising to fight for human rights as a critical part of his Presidential campaign:
The United States is committed to a world in which human rights are protected, their defenders are celebrated, and those who commit human rights abuses are held accountable. Promoting respect for human rights is not something we can do alone, but is best accomplished working with our allies and partners across the globe. President Biden is committed to a foreign policy that unites our democratic values with our diplomatic leadership, and one that is centered on the defense of democracy and the protection of human rights.
Far left Biden sycophant Al Hunt wrote:
Donald Trump long looked the other way and may even have endorsed Chinese detention camps of ethnic minorities; he referred to the oppressive Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as “my favorite dictator,” and bragged that he “saved” Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS), who ordered the murder of an American journalist.
There is a new sheriff in town.
Yeah, well, it’s not working out so great. Biden said he was going to make Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman a “pariah” for his involvement in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Despite evidence linking MBS directly to the murder, Biden has done compeltely the opposite. He first went to Saudi to grovel before the Prince and fist bumped him while begging for oil. MBS told Biden to shove it and then went on to cut oil production.
Biden then bowed to the Prince, giving MBS what he sought in return for more oil production- immunity in the murder of Khashoggi. This shocked left wing journalists
David Ignatius:
“What’s disturbing here is that the decision to elevate him to prime minister…came three days before the deadline that Judge Bates had set for a ruling on this question from the Justice Department and the State Department of whether he was entitled to immunity. In other words, this was the only way he was going to get it, and it came in at the 11th hour. The Trump administration, for all of its embrace of MBS, never gave him the immunity he wanted. He has been seeking immunity since 2020, 2021. The Trump administration left office without acting on that request. And it’s disturbing that the Biden administration ends up doing what Donald Trump himself wouldn’t do.”

Axios correspondent Jonathan Swan tied Biden’s decision to the fraught U.S. relationship with the Middle Eastern country over oil. Swan blasted the president for vowing to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” on the campaign trail and then having this “dizzying reversal when gas prices rise,” as one of the “most incoherent elements of Joe Biden’s policy agenda.”
“Then the fist bump, then the retraction, it’s just completely incoherent. It’s hard to know where he stands on this policy,” he huffed.
The CEO of the Washington Post said it was granting MBS a “license to kill.”
Desperately needing the oil Biden has said ad nauseum that he wants to end, rather than seek a boost in US production Biden decided give Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro a financial booster:
The Treasury Department granted permission Saturday for oil giant Chevron to produce and export oil from Venezuela following the South American country’s decision to restart talks with opposition groups.
The move could add supply to the global oil market, which may ease fuel prices and speed the declines in U.S. gasoline prices that have been a political burden for President Joe Biden since Russia invaded Ukraine in February.
But a senior administration official said the easing of sanctions was not driven by the oil market pressures and was instead a response the Venezuelan regime’s decision this week to participate in the negotiations with opposition groups. Those talks, which were originally launched in Mexico City in September 2021, are expected to focus on humanitarian programs and setting future elections.
“was not driven by the oil market pressures”
Bullsh*t.
Biden’s biggest bumbles are the ones benefiting China. It’s as if China owns Biden.
As the Chinese people protest new draconian zero-COVID measures (that don’t work) Biden is silent.

There’s a chance for a regime change in China and Biden is mute

Biden met with Xi this month at the G20 in Indonesia and got tough with Xi.
Just kidding. Biden kissed Xi’s ass. He refused to take up the Uyghurs, the fentanyl flood into the US, or the origins of COVID with Xi.
President Biden on Thursday refused to answer a question about whether he pressed Chinese President Xi Jinping on fentanyl exports and the origins of COVID-19 when they met this week — as House Republicans prepare to investigate the Biden family’s extensive financial links to Beijing.
Fentanyl and COVID-19 claimed about as many American lives in recent years as all of the nation’s wars combined, but a White House readout didn’t mention either after Biden’s three-hour Monday meeting with Xi in Bali, Indonesia.
“President Biden, is it true that you did not mention fentanyl or COVID origins to the Chinese president? How could that be true after more than 1 million Americans died?” a reporter for The Post shouted at Biden on the White House lawn as he returned from Asia.
“I’m not looking for conflict,” said Biden.
Despite the FBI Director warning that Tik Tok was a “national security concern” Biden reversed Trump’s ban on the app.
Unfolding before your very eyes are two things. One is Xi cashing in on the debt owed to him by the Biden family. 300 deaths a day from COVID is a national emergency but 300 deaths a day from fentanyl is just another day at the office.
The second is his quixotic effort to increase the oil supply which he knows the US cannot sustain without but risks being ridiculed more than he is now for abandoning one of his principal campaign promises were he to allow US producers to take the far more sensible approach and pump more of their own.
Biden is a pervert. We’ve proven that repeated. The big problem is that he has proven himself to be a limp wristed panty waist when it comes to foreign policy. The only time he’s shown any balls at all was when he extorted Ukraine for a billion dollars to stop the investigation into his ne’er do well son. Now his foreign policy is all about salvaging his own ass from the mess he’s created for the country. As I have written before, Biden is a lousy politician and a worse liar. When in Congress and even as VP his idiocy could be hidden under the penumbra of others but as President there’s no hiding place for his ineptitude and mendacity.
