His focus was on the fate of two massive pieces of legislation, worth $3 trillion combined, even though the larger of the two hadn\u2019t been written and major issues, including whose taxes would be raised, were still hotly disputed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, with his job approval tanking and needing anything he could call a victory, especially at the Scotland climate summit, the president was desperate for signs of progress. Even a mere promise that both bills would eventually be passed would have been something he could boast about.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, he got the back of Sen. Bernie Sanders\u2019 hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After Biden\u2019s closed-door meeting and a public statement in which he tried to portray progress by citing a sketchy \u201cframework\u201d for the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> spendathon, which includes $550 billion worth of climate projects, the real power emerged from the shadows. Sanders, the Vermont socialist, flatly rejected the president\u2019s request to pass the separate infrastructure deal first and urged his fellow <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ers in the House to say no, which they promptly did.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So the man who is supposed to be the leader of the free world cannot even lead his own party, meaning Biden headed for Europe bearing nothing except embarrassment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Friday in Rome, he was again the pleader-in-chief, this time seeking forgiveness from French President Emmanuel Macron after a rupture in relations over a nuclear submarine deal in which Australia backed out of a deal with France and switched to one with the US and Great Britain.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Emmanuel-Macron.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"French President Emmanuel Macron\" class=\"wp-image-19980486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Emmanuel-Macron.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Emmanuel-Macron.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Emmanuel-Macron.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>President Joe Biden\u2019s clumsiness has damaged America\u2019s relationship with France and its president Emmanuel Macron after the botched submarine deal.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Pool via REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The deal enraged France and hurt Macron politically just months before an April election. Video showed Biden looking like a scolded, sheepish child as he called events around the Australian deal \u201cclumsy\u201d and confessed he was not up to speed when the deal was announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So if the president isn\u2019t up to speed on major events involving key allies, who is up to speed and, most important, who is making the decisions?<\/p>\n<p>Weakness here, weakness there, weakness everywhere. Even live coverage of Biden\u2019s meeting with the pope was canceled by Vatican TV, with a few minutes airing later. Why not show the whole thing?<\/p>\n<p>In both meetings, Biden was maskless, a rare sight when he is in the United States. Is the rule follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>, or when in Rome\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If that were all, the week would have been trouble enough. But Friday brought a disaster of another sort in the form of a report on the administration\u2019s plan to pay up to $1\u2009billion to illegal migrant families separated at the border by the Trump administration. The Wall Street Journal scoop was so outlandish I first thought it had to be a mistake or a pre-Halloween prank because something so fundamentally stupid can\u2019t possibly be true.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But of course the report is true and as such reveals two other disturbing aspects of the Biden presidency: arrogance and incompetence.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/BidenPopeFrancis.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Pope Francis meets U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden at the Vatican, October 29, 2021. \" class=\"wp-image-19980517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/BidenPopeFrancis.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/BidenPopeFrancis.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/BidenPopeFrancis.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden meet Pope Francis at the Vatican on Oct. 29, 2021.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Vatican Media\/Handout via REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There is no rational way to explain the mere existence of settlement talks with lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the migrants, and the fact the talks were held in secret, then leaked.

Tom Cotton got it right in a tweet: \u201cIt\u2019s unthinkable to pay a burglar who broke into your home for the \u2018psychological trauma\u2019 they endured during the crime,\u201d the Arkansas Republican wrote. \u201cYet the Biden admin wants to reward migrants who illegally entered our country with up to $450,000 each for just that reason. Insanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others, including Texas GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw, who lost an eye in combat in Afghanistan, noted that the families of American service members killed in the line of duty receive an insurance payment of $400,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet that sink in,\u201d Crenshaw tweeted.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Migrants-6.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Haitian migrants cross the Rio Grande south into Ciudad Acuna from Del Rio, Texas.\" class=\"wp-image-19980534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Migrants-6.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Migrants-6.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Migrants-6.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The Biden administration has clearly gone insane with possibly paying undocumented immigrants millions for breaking the law.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Omar Ornelas\/USA Today Network\/Sipa USA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The migrant payment is hard to swallow, as is so much else that Biden is dishing out these days. The sheer volume of inanity and failure, combined with the president\u2019s mental and physical decline, recalls a wise observation by the late economist Herb Stein that, \u201cIf something cannot go on forever, it will stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a hopeful thought, but doesn\u2019t tell us how this disaster of a presidency will stop and when. Though it feels like forever, we are still in the first year of Biden\u2019s term. And while he has been busy shrinking the presidency and avoiding the press, Vice President Kamala Harris has pulled a total disappearing act.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps America can go on like this for four years. But I don\u2019t see how.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"City_a_bloody_horror\"><\/span>City a bloody horror<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0A friend, in what seems a dispatch from another planet, recounts a Manhattan experience: \u201cLast Friday, I head downtown on the #1 local to visit a pal.
