Lucas: No comfort in a world hanging between Putin and Biden – Boston Herald

So, here we are, living in the greatest country the world has ever known, caught between two world leaders, one of whom is mad and the other sad.

And Armageddon, which is the destruction of mankind, is lurking right around the corner waiting to be unleashed.

What did we do to deserve this?

On one hand you have madman Vladimir Putin, who has wrecked his country, threatening to use tactical nuclear weapons to ward off total humiliation and defeat at the hands of the Ukrainian freedom fighters.

On the other, you have the sad specter of Joe Biden, who has also wrecked his country, stumbling, mumbling and barely coherent, talking about Armageddon and the end of the world in off-the-cuff remarks at a fundraiser.

Someone should tell Joe that Armageddon is not a rock band.

The difference between Putins Russia and Bidens America is that people in Russia are seeking to a get out. In America they are seeking to get in.

Not only seeking, however, they are succeeding

The one thing the two do have common is that they are destroying their countries, Putin by a stupid and reckless war, and Biden by stupid and reckless policy, beginning with open borders and closed pipelines.

It would have been funny, if it were not so pathetic, to hear New York Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, faced with thousands of illegal immigrants bused into his sanctuary city from Texas saying, This crisis is not of our own making.

This is like Joe Biden, in his war on U. S. produced fossil fuel, blaming Putin for skyrocketing gasoline prices after he turned off the U.S. oil spigot.

Adams, who has declared a state of emergency in his city, in 2019 welcomed immigrants into the city, the way Biden waved in immigrants into the country.

Back then Adams, in words he is now eating, said To anyone in the world fleeing hatred and oppression, the ultimate city of immigrants wants you to remember youre always welcome here.

So, the illegal immigrants came. At last count some 19,000 illegal immigrants have recently arrived in New York. The New York school system has been overwhelmed with the enrollment of 5,500 new non-English speaking young students.

Adams welcoming remarks were like Joe Biden signaling to illegal immigrants from around the world that he would halt construction of the wall and open the borders to allow everyone in with few, if any, questions or exceptions. So they came.

Speaking about illegal immigrants at an event in 2019, Biden said, We could afford to take in a heartbeat another two million. The idea that a country of 330 million cannot afford people, who are in desperate need and who are justifiably weak and fleeing depression, is absolutely bizarre.

No. What is absolutely bizarre is the humanitarian crisis, which has now spread to cities like New York, that Biden created by opening the southern border in the first place.

Biden not only got his two million illegal immigrants, but he also got another one million so called getaways who under Joe Biden who are now roaming he country. Nobody knows who they, where they came from or where they are going.

He also got smugglers flooding the country with Chinese initiated deadly fentanyl, which is killing some 150 young Americans a day, not to mention the evil sexual exploitation of children and the racket of human smuggling.

Biden does a lot of talking, but he does not talk about the border, which he has never visited.

He is hiring 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service agents to investigate Americans, but not hiring a single Border Patrol agent to protect the border.

Biden not only deceptively opened the border, he also took an energy independent country and turned it into a beggar nation. He embarrassed America by abandoning our allies and helping our enemies in Afghanistan.

Biden has done more damage to the country than any president in history.

And he does not even know it.
