Even the Left Isn’t Happy With Biden These Days

So, President Biden doesn’t seem to be having too much fun lately. The Democratic crazies on the far left are not happy with him because he won’t veto the soft-on-crime Washington, D.C., bill, after at one point saying he would. Thirty-one normal Democrats threw in with the Republican House majority to stop the mayhem in D.C. — or at least stop it from getting worse — by fencing off a lot of crimes that would’ve been made non-crimes. It’s not exactly New York-style no-bail, no-jail, but it’s certainly George Soros-style: Give the left-wing prosecutors the next couple of years off. Golf is more important than criminals. Victims don’t matter. A couple of Senate Democrats also voted to stop the Washington, D.C., crazies. I happen to believe Mr. Biden made the right decision here, but I think we can agree flip-flopping is no fun. Flip, flop: Not good, politically. Then, a total of 59 House Democrats voted with Republicans in support of Representative Elise Stefanik’s Rein In Inflation Act, which would require Mr. Biden to publish inflationary impact assessments of his executive orders prior to enacting them. We don’t know about the Senate — and we can only guess that the president would veto the bill if it got to his desk — but can you imagine a president who runs around the country telling people he solved inflation being opposed to an inflation impact bill? Really? By the way, the inflation rate is still around 6 percent. It’s down from 9 percent, but still up from the Fed’s 2 percent target. So, interest rates are going to go up a whole lot more in the months ahead, which will boost the threat of a recession. Mr. Biden won’t like that. He keeps saying that he’s cutting the budget deficit, but people looking at the CBO report are trying to figure out where the $20 trillion deficit increase over the next decade is coming from, if Mr. Biden has really become such a spending slasher. Or, better yet, please tell me just one spending item he wants to cut. Tell me any one. Bet you can’t. Then, he’s fixing to veto the ESG bill, which most Democrats support him doing, but that will potentially damage the retirement returns of 150 million Americans. Did someone say “unpopular”? Okay, well, I’m saying it. Bad call, Mr. President. Then, a lot of people in Mr. Biden’s own party have been highly critical of his botched handling of the Chinese spy balloon, and about the same number of Democrats have been critical of him regarding his botched handling of classified documents. Democratic defections on Biden policies and the president’s miscues seem to be growing, not shrinking. Mr. Biden’s pal, Lori Lightfoot, just got a major whupping in the Chicago mayor’s race, proving that crime doesn’t pay — even in the Windy City. A recent ABC/Washington Post poll shows that 58 percent of Democrats prefer someone other than Mr. Biden to run for president. Only 31 percent want him to run again. Just saying: I don’t think he’s having that much fun. From Mr. Kudlow’s broadcast on Fox Business News.
