Mr. President, I am really beginning to believe everyone in the White House is clueless.

Then, to cover up the connection between his actions and their disastrous outcomes, the President plays the blame game. Since Joe Biden was sworn in as President just a little over a year ago, we have experienced record-setting inflation, making everyday essentials unaffordable; an unprecedented number of migrants rushing our southern border; our national debt topping $30 trillion for the first time; the Taliban's retaking control of Afghanistan; and the world being brought to the brink of nuclear war.
