Commentary

On Tuesday, making his first appearance before the UN Security Council as president, Joe Biden found himself in the embarrassing position of attempting to restore America’s diplomacy following a series of his foreign policy screw-ups.

In my September 12, 2021 post, “Why, George, Why,” I wrote about the gratuitous slap George W. Bush took at Trump supporters while speaking at the 9/11 memorial ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, comparing the 9/11 terrorists with the January 6, 2021 Capitol rioters.
