Biden Stumbles Over Remarks Abroad, Promises to Send Billions More of Our Money Overseas


Nick Arama reporting for RedState 

Joe Biden was in Spain on Tuesday for the NATO summit that is concentrated on the war in Ukraine and the NATO alliance.

But as Biden delivered remarks, along with the President of Spain about the NATO alliance, he had a bit of a time describing just what their purpose was.

“But the bottom line is this,” Biden declared. “Together, the [NATO] alliance is threatening its posture!” Then he fumbled, trying to cover. “Is dealing with the threats, strengthening its posture.”

Even just reading from a prewritten speech right in front of him, he can’t get it straight.

Then he was asked about the tragic deaths of people being smuggled into the country in a tractor-trailer. Caring, compassionate Joe didn’t respond to the shouted question.

If any illegal aliens died when President Donald Trump was in office, it would be a three-day story on how evil he was because he had a strong border policy. But when it happens under Joe Biden, it’s not even worthy of a live comment from Biden–or any real connection to Biden’s policies that have encouraged people to come, knowing it’s highly probable that they will get to stay.

Biden’s team later released a statement about the deaths, allegedly from him — if he actually wrote it, I’m a monkey’s uncle — blaming the smugglers.

While we are still learning all the facts about what happened and the Department of Homeland Security has the lead for the investigation, initial reports are that this tragedy was caused by smugglers or human traffickers who have no regard for the lives they endanger and exploit to make a profit.

No, it’s Biden and the Democrats who have no idea (or don’t care) about how their policies, which they claim are caring, hurt people and help the smugglers.

The problem with Biden is that his gaffes and his mistakes while speaking are bad, but his policies and actions are even worse.

We’ve seen that with his border policies. But he doubled down on the bad moves with his G-7 promises. We’ve already seen how much he is spending on Ukraine, seemingly without any checks from Republicans and without much to ensure that it’s going where it’s supposed to go. But while at the G-7, he promised a whole new round of spending that was breathtaking.

It was part of a “global infrastructure initiative” to promote “stability,” with Biden promising $200 billion, claiming it was “critical.”

“These strategic investments are in areas critical to sustainable development and to our shared global stability: health and health security, digital connectivity, gender equality and equity, climate and energy security,” Biden said.

“We need a worldwide effort to invest in transformative clean energy projects to ensure that critical infrastructures resilient to changing climate. Critical materials that are necessary for clean energy transition, including production of batteries, need to be developed with high standards for labor and environment,” he added.

Oh. Not like helping America in the middle of a crushing economy is ‘critical’ at all. Of course, that doesn’t help his leftist aims, which never seem to be about advancing America. “Strategic investments” is another way of saying spending our money like a madman to advance leftist goals.

We’re going to pay to create good jobs in Angola and a vaccine facility in Senegal.

This is the same guy who says he’s all for buying American — while he ships our money overseas. All he and his handlers seem to be about is doing all they can to tank this country?
