But rarely is there a \u2009single day where consequences pack as much wallop as Friday, where the irrationality of Joe Biden\u2019s policies came into full view.<\/p>\n<p>From the border with Mexico, where the new administration started opening the doors to at least 25,000 migrants seeking asylum, to the Mideast tinderbox, where it moved to rejoin the misbegotten Iran nuke deal, the new president <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears fixated by the desire to turn back the clock to 2016.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as if Biden has been seized by a sentimental longing to try to make the world like it was when the Obama-Biden administration left office. Unfortunately, \u201cThe Way We Were\u201d is a nice song but not much of a guide to the future.<\/p>\n<p>Still, trying to recapture the past would be reasonable if those years had created prosperity at home and peace abroad. In fact, the world \u00adDonald Trump inherited was brist\u00adling with trouble and America\u2019s economy was moving forward at a snail\u2019s pace.<\/p>\n<p>Despite revisionist efforts by the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> and the left to erase the achievements of the president they hated, Trump had major policy successes that benefited all Americans. It\u2019s especially unnerving, then, that Biden is choosing to reverse the very policies that produced those benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump Derangement Syndrome leads people to do weird things, but Biden\u2019s attempt to cancel Trump\u2019s biggest victories is among the weirdest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The migrant admittances, through a border crossing in San Diego, came after Biden scrapped his predecessor\u2019s policy of having asylum-seekers wait in Mexico. The \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d program was an effective solution to the endless stream of caravans of Central Americans that moved north to escape violence and find work in a booming US.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Obama-Biden policy had been to admit the asylum applicants and turn them loose pending hearings. Naturally, many never showed up because they knew they could not qualify as refugees from persecution. But their ability to stay here illegally served as an incentive for others to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of building on the program that reduced mass migrations, Biden returned to the broken system Trump had fixed. Biden also pledges not to build another foot of border wall and pause nearly all \u00addeportations for 100 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"President Biden\u2019s lenient immigration policies are already causing chaos in Central America, where caravans of migrants are packing their bags for an easier entry.\" class=\"wp-image-17375321 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Honduranmigrants.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Honduranmigrants.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Honduranmigrants.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Honduranmigrants.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Honduranmigrants.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>President Biden\u2019s lenient immigration policies are already causing chaos in Central America, where caravans of migrants are packing their bags for an easier entry.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS\/Luis Echeverria<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In what world does any of that make sense, especially in a pandemic?<\/p>\n<p>Something similar happened at the G-7 Security Conference Friday, where Biden abandoned Trump\u2019s America First policy and embraced the \u201cKumbaya\u201d notion that everybody is better off when we \u00adoutsource our interests to globalist institutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica is back, the transatlantic alliance is back, and we are not looking backward,\u201d Biden said. He declared that the partnership with Europe is \u201cthe cornerstone of all we hope to accomplish in the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although he didn\u2019t mention Trump, Biden went out of his way to distort recent history. \u201cI know the past few years have strained and tested our transatlantic relationship, but the United States is determined \u2014 determined \u2014 to re-engage with Europe, to consult with you, to earn back our position of trust and leadership,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, America\u2019s major fight with Europe, especially Germany, was over the failure of NATO members to meet their agreed-upon commitment to spend at least 2 percent of their GDP for defense. For years, American presidents, including Barack Obama, had made the same complaint and were ignored.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump of course cannot be ignored. He loudly questioned the value of the alliance and railed against the fact that America was paying far more than a fair share for the common defense. He also was not amused that NATO spent more than $1.4 billion for a new Brussels headquarters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bingo, he succeeded. Most of the deadbeats increased their defense spending, to the tune of more than an additional $100 billion a year, while agreeing to a reduction in US contributions. They remain unhappy but why should Biden care?<\/p>\n<p>And why is he such a generous sap with American taxpayers\u2019 money?<\/p>\n<p>His plan to rejoin the Iran nuke deal that Trump scuttled is perhaps the looniest idea of all because of the shock waves it sends around the Middle East. The deal didn\u2019t even address, let alone stop, Iran\u2019s military aggression and terror proxies, which the Obama-Biden administration admitted. It also conceded that some of the billions Washington included ended up financing terror.<\/p>\n<p>Recall also that the lack of faith in the deal led Saudi Arabia and others to talk of getting their own nukes. Just recently, more evidence confirmed that Iran had a nuclear-weapons program despite its constant denial.<\/p>\n<p>After Trump withdrew from the pact, reimposed sanctions and droned Iran terror leader Qasem Soleimani, an odd thing happened. As Democrats, including Biden, were running around like Chicken Littles warning of new wars, four Muslim countries signed historic peace and diplomatic accords with Israel, part of which involve joint security \u2014 against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>So again questions arise: Why would Biden trust the untrustworthy Iranians and undo the enormous progress Trump achieved? Does he hate Trump more than he loves peace?<\/p>\n<p>Before you answer, remember what former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said about Biden: \u201cI think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national-security issue over the past four decades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Friday was the day America formally rejoined the Paris climate accord that Trump abandoned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Soon the White House will push more job-killing restrictions on \u00adindustry and consumer emissions, all while China and India keep \u00adincreasing theirs.<\/p>\n<p>But fear not, the intrepid John Kerry is on the case. The private-jet warrior for eliminating greenhouse gases used the occasion to restart the countdown to catastrophe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, the scientists told us three years ago we had 12 years to avert the worst consequences of climate crisis,\u201d he told CBS. \u201cWe are now three years gone, so we have nine years left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To underscore that this time is different, Kerry insisted, \u201cThere is no room for BS anymore. There\u2019s no faking it on this one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Funny he should put it that way. If you eliminate fakery and BS, Biden\u2019s policies don\u2019t have much going for them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cuo_woe_spiraling\"><\/span>Cuo woe spiraling\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Round and round it goes and where it stops nobody knows. That describes a roulette wheel and also Gov. Cuomo\u2019s angry, frenetic efforts to escape the self-inflicted nursing-home debacle.<\/p>\n<p>The celebrity cheerleaders and media popinjays have melted away as Cuomo finds himself encircled by harsh criticism, much of it from fellow Democrats. He has two potential escape routes: that Biden buries the FBI probe as a favor and Albany Dems return to their usual state of somnolence.<\/p>\n<p>Both are possible, but in the short run Cuomo needs to help himself. He could start by dropping the shovel he\u2019s using to dig himself in deeper and deeper.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brought_to_heel\"><\/span>Brought to heel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Headline: Blue dogs discovered near Russian chemical plant.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s where the moderate Democrats went?\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
