The Biden Administration’s Agenda: A Critical Analysis

The author would like to credit Victor Davis Hanson for his original thoughts on this.

If an adversary intended to ruin America, would they devise a more devastating strategy than the current situation? How do our actions differ from those an existential enemy might employ to dismantle our society?

The Border

In the United States, the situation at the 2,000-mile border with Mexico has become increasingly contentious. The current administration has openly incentivized illegals to enter America unlawfully. Mathematical modeling suggests that up to 22 million people have entered the United States without legal permission in recent years. This influx of undocumented immigrants has placed a significant strain on the country’s resources and infrastructure, and has contributed to increased levels of drug trafficking and crime along with massive child sex trafficking and slavery in the form of indentured servitude for cartels.

One of the most controversial aspects of the current situation is the administration’s decision to suspend or not enforce certain federal immigration laws. This government is undermining the rule of law and encouraging illegal immigration. Additionally, the failure to effectively secure the border has been blamed for the increased flow of illicit drugs, such as fentanyl, which is responsible for tens of thousands of overdose deaths in the United States each year.

Furthermore, the administration has provided free support and services to those who have entered the country illegally, including housing, healthcare, and education. This has sparked a debate about the fairness and sustainability of such policies, particularly in light of the ongoing economic challenges faced by many American citizens.

Finally, the discourse surrounding immigration has become highly polarized, with observers claiming that those who express concerns about the current situation are labeled as racists or xenophobes. This has led to a breakdown in constructive dialogue and hindered efforts to find a balanced and humane solution to the challenges posed by immigration.

National Debt

The United States is currently grappling with a significant national debt, which has now reached an unprecedented $35 trillion. This staggering figure has been steadily increasing, with the debt growing by an additional $1 trillion every 100 days. This rapid accumulation of debt has raised concerns about the long-term sustainability of the country’s fiscal policies and its ability to meet its financial obligations.

The current administration’s spending policies is engaging in excessive and unsustainable spending, which is contributing to the rapid growth of the national debt. Such high levels of debt have serious consequences for the nation’s economy, including higher interest rates, reduced economic growth, and a weakened dollar.

Despite these concerns, those who advocate for fiscal responsibility and spending cuts are often met with accusations of being cruel and inhumane. This line of argument suggests that reducing government spending would disproportionately impact the most vulnerable members of society, such as low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled.

As a result, the debate over the national debt and government spending has become highly polarized, with little consensus on how to address the issue. Some argue for a combination of spending cuts and tax increases to reduce the deficit and slow the growth of the national debt, while others propose more targeted measures, such as reforming entitlement programs and reducing waste and inefficiency in government spending. However, finding a solution that is both politically and economically feasible remains a significant challenge for policymakers.

Foreign Policy

The current administration’s foreign policy is a disaster on its approach to international relations, particularly regarding its treatment of allies and adversaries. This the administration has adopted a policy of appeasement and subsidization towards countries like Iran and China, which are threats to American interests and global stability. This approach has been weakening America’s standing in the world and undermining its alliances with countries like Israel, which has been a longstanding partner and ally in the Middle East.

Furthermore, the administration has failed to respond adequately to terrorist attacks against American citizens and interests. This weakness has been seen as emboldening America’s enemies and undermining its credibility on the world stage.

In addition, the administration has a preference for Islam over Christianity. This is reflected in the administration’s policies and rhetoric, which elevates Islam to a position of superiority over Christianity.

The administration has also sought to make amends for what it sees as past American neocolonial and imperialist behavior. It has done so by following the lead of international organizations such as the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, and the World Health Organization. This approach has led to a decline in American influence and power, as the United States cedes its leadership role to these international institutions.

Overall, these policies have contributed to American decline and a weakening of the country’s position in the world. As a result, the administration’s foreign policy has been a source of significant controversy and debate.

Victimhood

In a diverse and multicultural society, the current administration has redefined identity solely in terms of tribal affiliation. This approach has been emphasizing the differences between various racial, ethnic, and cultural groups, rather than promoting unity and shared values. This focus on tribalism has led to increased competition and rivalry between different identity groups, as each vies for recognition, resources, and political power.

This competition is often framed in terms of a victimhood narrative, with each group claiming to be the most oppressed and deserving of state intervention and support. This has led to a situation in which political issues are increasingly defined by race and gender, with certain groups labeled as oppressors and others as the oppressed.

The administration has also dismantled meritocratic standards in various areas of society, including education, employment, and promotion. This is undermining the principle of equal opportunity and rewarding individuals based on their identity rather than their abilities and achievements. This approach is damaging to social cohesion and weakens the foundations of a just and prosperous society.

Overall, these policies are contributing to increased division and polarization within the country, as well as undermining the principles of meritocracy and equal opportunity.

Criminal Justice

The current administration’s approach to criminal justice has leniency towards violent offenders. The administration has sought to redefine violent crime as an understandable expression of social injustice, rather than a serious offense that requires punishment and rehabilitation. This is demoralizing the rule of law and eroding public confidence in the criminal justice system.

One of the most controversial aspects of the administration’s criminal justice policies has been its approach to bail and release for arrested, repeat violent offenders. The administration adopted a “no bail” policy that allows dangerous criminals to be released back into the community, often on the same day as their arrest. This has caused increased levels of crime and violence, as repeat offenders are given the opportunity to reoffend.

In addition, the administration empathizes with violent criminals, rather than focusing on the victims of their crimes. This is particularly egregious in cases where police officers have been killed or injured, as the administration has ignored the suffering of the victims and their families.

Overall, these policies are contributing to a criminal justice system that is more concerned with the rights of offenders than with the safety and security of the public.

National Defense

The current administration’s approach to military policy has weakened the armed forces. The administration has sought to emasculate the military by using non-meritocratic standards of race, gender, and sexual orientation to determine promotion and commendation. This demoralizes the principle of equal opportunity and rewarding individuals based on their identity rather than their abilities and achievements.

In addition, the administration has deliberately smeared the largest demographic in the military, who in recent wars have died at twice their numbers in the population, as racists and insurrectionists. This has destroyed morale and forced a reduction in the number of individuals willing to serve in the military.

Furthermore, the administration has cut the defense budget and fails to produce sufficient weapons to meet the needs of the military. This has left the armed forces ill-prepared to deal with the challenges of a rapidly changing global security environment.

Finally, the administration has left billions of dollars’ worth of arms to terrorists, which emasculates American interests and endangers the lives of American soldiers and civilians.

Justice System

The current administration has adopted a USSR style to the justice system and its handling of political opponents. The administration has reinvented the justice system as a tool to indict, bankrupt, convict, and jail political opponents, rather than relying on elections to determine the will of the people.

The administration’s approach has used of ballot removal, impeachment, civil suits, and state and federal indictments as a means of defeating political opponents. This has been shattered the democratic process and destroyed public confidence in the fairness and impartiality of the justice system.

In addition, the administration has used mob tactics to intimidate non-compliant Supreme Court Justices. There have been incidents in which the homes of Justices have been mobbed and the Justices have been attacked personally by name. This is a dangerous escalation of political tactics, undermining the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary.

Overall, these policies have contributed to a perception of a justice system that is more concerned with the political interests of the administration than with the principles of fairness, impartiality, and justice.

Main Stream Media

The current administration has been elevating its approach to the relationship between the bureaucratic state and the media. The administration has encouraged the fusion of these two entities to form a powerful force for political audit, surveillance, censorship, and coercion. This shattered the principles of free speech and press, and erodes public confidence in the independence and impartiality of both the bureaucratic state and the media.

The administration’s approach has married the FBI with Silicon Valley and hires its contractors to manipulate the news and hound supposed enemies of the people. The FBI has been worked with social media companies and other tech firms to suppress information and target individuals who are critical of the administration.

This is a dangerous expansion of state power and a threat to the rights and freedoms of American citizens. This emasculates the rule of law and the principles of democracy, and that it creates a climate of fear and intimidation that stifles dissent and discourages political participation.

This government is more concerned with maintaining power and control than with upholding the principles of democracy and protecting the rights and freedoms of its citizens.

Energy

The current administration’s energy policies is at war on affordable gasoline and natural gas. The government is promoting a transition to wind and solar power, which they claim are inefficient, unreliable, and expensive. This raises energy prices, which is putting a strain on the budgets of middle-class families and threatening their financial security.

Their policies are not only driving up energy costs, but also undermining the reliability of the energy grid. Power outages have occurred due to a lack of reliable baseload power is a result of the administration’s focus on wind and solar power at the expense of more reliable sources of energy.

In addition, the administration’s policies are not only making energy more expensive, but also less environmentally friendly. The production of wind and solar power requires significant amounts of land, and the manufacturing of the equipment used in these energy sources generates substantial amounts of pollution.

Nuclear Family

The current administration promotes late marriage, single parenthood, and having few or no children. They are sending a message that traditional family structures and child-rearing are outdated and undesirable, and that individuals should instead prioritize their personal fulfillment and career aspirations.

They also advocate the notion that males, especially boys, are toxic and should be viewed with suspicion and skepticism. This has developed a culture of fear and mistrust, and undermining the relationships between boys and their families, friends, and communities.

Furthermore, the administration’s policies are encouraging parents to raise their children to have a sense of entitlement and grievance against past generations and current norms. This approach is fostering a generation of young people who are more interested in tearing down existing institutions and values than in building a better future for themselves and their communities.

Higher Education

The current and former administration’s approach to higher education has transformed world-class universities into indoctrination centers. The regime wants a culture of political correctness and ideological conformity on college campuses, at the expense of free speech and open inquiry. This has led to the suspension of the Bill of Rights on campuses, as students and faculty are discouraged from expressing views that are considered controversial or politically incorrect.

In addition, they are training youth to graduate with a deep-seated hatred for their own culture and civilization. This approach is fostering a generation of young people who are deeply resentful of our nation.

Furthermore, the administration’s policies are encouraging universities to recruit foreign students from hostile nations to subsidize campus bloat. This approach is not only undermining the quality of education, but also posing a security risk to the United States.

They also replaced the traditional curriculum with therapeutic propaganda, which is more concerned with promoting a particular ideological agenda than with providing students with a well-rounded education. In addition, they have eliminated standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, and its failure to evaluate high school GPAs, arguing that these policies undermine the principle of merit-based admissions and ensure that the student body is not selected based on academic achievement.

Finally, they are charging tuition that is higher than the rate of inflation, and of billing the government when students default on their loans. This methodology not only exacerbates the student debt crisis, but also shifts the financial burden of higher education onto taxpayers.

The motivations behind the Biden administration’s agenda are destructive, complex, and multifaceted. One perspective posits that the individuals guiding the administration’s policies are driven by a radical mindset. These individuals harbor a deep resentment towards the established order, seeing the current state of the United States as fundamentally flawed or unjust. As a result, they might seek to dismantle and rebuild the system in their image, regardless of the short-term consequences for the nation and its citizens.

Another assessment is that the Biden administration, or those controlling it, hold a misguided belief in the effectiveness of their socialist and globalist agendas. They genuinely think that these policies are necessary for the betterment and sustainability of the country and the world at large. Their conviction stems from a deep-seated belief that the current system is fundamentally flawed or unjust, and that a radical transformation is required to address critical issues such as economic inequality, climate change, and social justice.

In this view, the administration’s policies are driven by an ideological commitment to progressive and internationalist principles. They may believe that their agenda will ultimately lead to a more equitable and sustainable society, both within the United States and globally. This perspective is underpinned by a faith in the power of government intervention and international cooperation to solve complex problems and address systemic inequalities.

However, this faith in the efficacy of socialist and globalist policies is misplaced and that these agendas are not only ineffective but also harmful to the nation’s long-term interests. These policies undermine individual freedoms, stifle economic growth, and weaken America’s position in the world.
