Three big news stories at the beginning of the week, and Joe Biden is on the wrong side of each one. Not on the wrong side by a little, but he's on the wrong side by a lot.
First, the prosecution’s opening statements in the Trump New York jury trial were made by the Biden Justice Department's former number three, Matthew Colangelo, which shows just how involved the Biden White House and Justice Department are in this crazy prosecution of Donald Trump.
Ironically, the DOJ initially passed on the prosecution, as did the Federal Election Commission. But Biden is involved. Big time.
Also, what's illegal about nondisclosure agreements? They're used all the time.
And, what's illegal about candidate Trump running for president and trying to influence the election? It's called "campaigning." But there's something very wrong with President Biden trying to keep Trump off the campaign trail, and thus interfering with the election. In other words: campaigning, ok. Interfering, not ok.
Plus, Mr. Trump's gag order prohibits him from talking about Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels, but they are constantly trashing him. There's something wrong about that.
Cohen's a serial liar. Daniels owes Trump about a half million dollars. Strike one for Joe Biden.
COLUMBIA JEWISH STUDENTS ‘NO LONGER FEEL SAFE,’ SAY ANTI-ISRAEL MOB CHASED THEM OFF CAMPUS
Then comes the antisemitic campus riots at Columbia, Yale, and elsewhere. Joe Biden has expressed sympathy for the Jewish students who are under attack. But sympathy is not the same as a Justice Department or FBI investigation and prosecution of antisemitic hate crimes and hate speech.
These elite colleges are guilty of both. University laws are being violated. Classes have been cancelled. But, remember, Joe Biden has become the principal defender of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion). And DEI has been the principal trigger behind the whole antisemitic movement. Until these university trustees are forced to change, they're not going to change. Joe Biden could force change, but he won't. Why?
Many reasons, but think Dearborn, Michigan, for one. So the wave of antisemitism on college campuses is strike two for Joe Biden.
The third news item this week is Earth Day, where Joe Biden wants to spend another $7 billion on a climate change solar slush fund. This is just the latest installment of the Biden Green New Deal climate bank ATM. This is strike three for Joe Biden. Why?
Because most folks don't care about Earth Day or climate change. A Gallup survey released today shows that 55% worry about inflation. 53% about crime and violence. 48% worry about illegal immigration. And only 37% are concerned with the environment.
A couple of weeks ago, a Wall Street Journal headline read: "Biden Is Spending $1 Trillion to Fight Climate Change. Voters Don’t Care." Voters surveyed in seven swing states showed immigration was most important at 25%, economy 22%, inflation 13%, abortion 10%, and climate change... 2%.

So, in other words, Americans are far more worried about "Bidenflation" and illegal immigrants than climate change. Know what? Three strikes and you're out, Joe.
