Joe Biden Is Not Normal
By RICH LOWRY
April 15, 2022 6:30 AM

Joe Biden is falling down on his promise to bring normality back
to the presidency for a basic reason -- he's not normal.

Biden's long pedigree, conventional politics, and contrast with
Donald Trump suggested that he'd bring predictability and calm to
the highest reaches of the nation's politics.

The press touted this impending shift. A headline in Financial
Times announced, "Biden signals return to normality on first day
as president." The CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza opined,
"The single most radical thing that Biden has done in his first 48
hours of being president is act totally and completely normally."

Yeah, well, a funny thing happened on the way to renewed normality
-- President Biden has engaged in one bizarre escapade after
another as he's crashed his presidency into the rocks of
incompetence, tone-deafness, and stubbornly misplaced priorities.

It's not normal for a president to say things flagrantly at odds
with his own administration's position, but there was Joe Biden
the other day saying that Vladimir Putin is committing genocide in
Ukraine.

This statement fared about as well as his declaration that
Vladimir Putin has to be removed from power, or the distinction he
made between a Russian invasion or "minor incursion" at a press
conference prior to the war.

The president, his aides said of his latest meandering, "spoke
from his heart" (undersecretary of state for political affairs
Victoria Nuland), and "is allowed to make his views known at any
point he would like" (White House press secretary Jen Psaki). This
amounted to administration officials patting the president on the
head and telling people not to take whatever he says too
seriously.

(In this, Biden is continuing in the unfortunate tradition
established by Donald Trump of issuing readily ignored
presidential pronouncements.)

It's not normal for a president to be such a tepid performer that
it's very difficult for him to command a stage.

It's not normal for a president to misspeak so routinely that it
almost seems strange when he gets it right.

It's not normal for a president to shovel trillions of dollars
into a growing economy, and then still want to spend trillions
more when it's clear that inflation is a real problem.

It's not normal for a president to want to suppress U.S. oil and
gas production at the same time he begs OPEC to pump more.

It's not normal for a president to open the floodgates for illegal
migration at the southern border and pretend that if he doesn't
call the ensuing deluge a "crisis," it somehow isn't.

It's not normal for a president to abandon his long-standing
support for the Senate filibuster to try to pass a no-hope
Democratic voting bill and warn of looming autocracy if the
legislation doesn't pass.

It's not normal (or shouldn't be) for a president to extend an
eviction moratorium that he knows is illegal.

It's not normal for a president to abandon Americans in a foreign
country after his withdrawal of U.S. forces, against the advice of
his generals, leads to a hostile force rapidly sweeping to power.

It's not normal for a president's son and brother to get millions
of dollars in easy money from a company that is a cat's-paw of the
Chinese government.

It's not normal for a first-term president to be on the verge of
becoming a lame duck because almost no one believes his assurances
that he's going to run again (only 41 percent of Democrats in a
recent Wall Street Journal poll say they think Biden will run in
2024).

It's a badly divided country at a time of growing threats abroad
and of declining faith in U.S. institutions. These are serious
challenges that it would take deft, farsighted presidential
leadership to overcome. Instead, what's on offer isn't even above-
average presidential leadership, and that's not going to change.

For Joe Biden, this rocky, uninspired performance is indeed the
norm.

Add to this the denial of what is coming in the midterms perhaps
unless we get WWIII. If and when Ukraine is resolved, if Putin and
company are still in power, the next hot spots will be Belarus and
Kaliningrad. Belarus is run by an admitted dictator and Kaliningrad
has become totally isolated by land and air by Poland and the
Baltic states. The only resupply is by sea, but the news media has
not picked up on this potential issue.

I do apologize; this was intended for another group. I can't cancel
because of the way I manage my headers. Enjoy the political
diversion, or don't.

No apology needed from this quarter; I had missed the elegantly-written column, and needed to read it.

And on point is this cartoon.
