The Moore You Know January 25 - February 7, 2022

Remember when Joe Biden ran a presidential campaign on a promise of unity and governing from the middle? He seemed to have forgotten that promise the moment Democrats took control of the Senate, assuring Democrats control of the White House and Congress. In fact, over the past year, the Biden administration has been the most radical we have ever seen. However, with Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s announcement that he will be retiring, President Biden has a chance to finally stand up to the radical socialist activists who seem to be running his government and honor his campaign promise. Unfortunately, it appears Biden will double down on his radicalism. The President’s pledge to exclude any nominee who does not meet racial and gender requirements is un-American and will only further divide our country. This is a missed opportunity for President Biden, and his year of failures sadly will be extended into 2022.

I received a classified briefing from some of the Biden administration’s top officials about the worsening Russia-Ukraine standoff. It is clear that Biden’s calamitous Afghanistan surrender was a green flag to Russian President Vladmir Putin to increase his aggression, and Putin’s bet that we would not have the strength to counter his Ukrainian strategy seems to have been the right one for him. Make no mistake, Biden’s failure of leadership is the cause of our current situation in which we simply do not have any good options to deal with Russia’s moves in Eastern Europe.

House Democrats rushed through their sham “America Competes Act,” which would be better called the “America CONCEDES Act.” Instead of getting tough with China, this bill cozies up to China – the country that lied to us about the origins and dangers of the coronavirus it created, commits rampant human rights abuses, and is the greatest perpetrator of mass genocide on the planet today. If that wasn’t bad enough, Speaker Pelosi had the nerve to instruct American athletes competing in the Beijing Olympics to remain silent about China’s human rights abuses to avoid angering the Chinese Communist Party. She told our athletes with a straight face, “do not risk incurring the anger of the Chinese government because they are ruthless.” She says she “worr[ies] about what the Chinese government might do to their reputations, to their families.” Why is Speaker Pelosi so insistent that Americans look the other way at the evil that the Chinese government is trying to spread across the globe!? It's simple - Speaker Pelosi wants to put America LAST. *** My office is continuing to put service to our constituents as our top priority.
