But President Biden\u2019s scheduled visit to Mayor Adams this week flips the <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\">script<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden is coming to New York Thursday to get a boost, not to give one. Sinking below the horizon, the president needs Adams more than Adams needs him.<\/p>\n<p>The ostensible reason for the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> is to talk about crime, which is \u00adAdams\u2019 strength and Biden\u2019s weakness. Indeed, a major reason why the president is a failure is that his administration, and Democrats in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>, are viewed as anti-police and pro-criminal.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a reasonable view, with the decision to open the southern border to virtually all comers as one example. Another is that the far-left wing of the party pushed to defund the police in 2020 just as violence erupted across America.<\/p>\n<p>A third is that its progressive district attorneys in major cities, including New York, act as if criminals are the real victims and thus refuse to prosecute too many cases.<\/p>\n<p>Biden himself has contributed to the soft-on-crime image. He often denounced what he calls \u201csystemic racism\u201d in law enforcement and has said almost nothing about soaring murder rates in most cities. He has demonstrated no compassion for victims, and offered no serious ideas on how to stop the bloodshed.<\/p>\n<p>On the border crisis he created, he actually said his team was trying to \u201cfigure out\u201d why so many people from Central America are desperate to get into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Get that man a clue!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soft-on-crime_issue\"><\/span>Soft-on-crime issue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Enter Adams, who has been drafted to help Biden get on the right side of law enforcement in advance of the midterm elections \u2014 or at least make it look as if that\u2019s the case. The mayor is practically giddy about his role, and spoke about Biden as if he were making a campaign commercial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love the fact that the president is coming here,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cI met with him after the campaign, and we spoke and we just connected, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adams called himself the \u201cBiden of Brooklyn\u201d and said it\u2019s because they are both \u201cblue-collar guys.\u201d<\/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\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-613.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Eric Adams\" class=\"wp-image-21057922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-613.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-613.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-613.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>New York City Mayor Eric Adams has a strong plan on tackling rising crime rates. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Welcome Wagon chatter notwithstanding, Biden is coming because Adams is emerging as the \u00adantidote to the Democrats\u2019 far-left lurch. A black former cop who spent 22 years in the NYPD, he complicates the screed against law enforcement as inherently racist and could lend credibility to Biden\u2019s need to be seen as doing something about crime.<\/p>\n<p>Although the visit is understandably flattering to Adams, its impact for him will be fleeting. After securing the mayoral primary, he promised to be the new face of the party and said he would show America how to run a city.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>If he fails to meet those ambitious goals, Biden won\u2019t help. If he succeeds, the visit will be a footnote.<\/p>\n<p>The stakes are much higher for the president, and the timing adds to the importance. Biden is coming to Gotham in the aftermath of the funerals of the two young murdered NYPD cops and when the politics of crime dominate the city.<\/p>\n<p>With an enormous law-enforcement presence turning Fifth Avenue into a sea of blue, last week\u2019s funeral for officer Jason Rivera was marked by his widow\u2019s dramatic denunciation of the plan by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to go soft on criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Her eulogy was an emotional crescendo, and the Wednesday funeral of Rivera\u2019s partner, officer Wilbert Mora, will compound the sense that the city is losing a war of survival. While shootings, carjackings and assaults are almost routine, the murder of the two cops rattled New Yorkers to the core.<\/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\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-614.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"NYPD Officers at funeral\" class=\"wp-image-21057924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-614.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-614.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-614.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>This will be Biden\u2019s first trip to New York since the death of two NYPD officers.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Paul Martinka<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fear is spreading like wildfire.

Although he will no doubt promise to heed Adams\u2019 request to use federal law enforcement to stop smugglers from bringing more guns into the city, that won\u2019t mean much unless cops can seize more of the illegal guns that are already here and lock up those who carry and use them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lean_on_lefty_Dems\"><\/span>Lean on lefty Dems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For that to happen, Biden must lean on Dems in the City Council and Albany and get them to fully support the mayor\u2019s efforts.<\/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\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-607.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Adrienne Adams\" class=\"wp-image-21057913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-607.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-607.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/biden-adams-607.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Adrienne Adams serves as New York City Council Speaker.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Gregory P.

Hochul, meanwhile, owes Biden big time. She got her job after the president said Andrew Cuomo should resign over sexual-harassment allegation, a move that signaled the death knell for the disgraced Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>Biden could remind Hochul of her debt and urge her to get off the fence and get the Legislature off its ass. So far, she says she wants to help Adams stop gun trafficking, but has sided with Heastie and Stewart-Cousins by rejecting the mayor\u2019s demands for changes in the bail and Raise the Age laws.<\/p>\n<p>Come to think of it, Biden\u2019s visiting the wrong city. If he really wants to help New York win the war against crime, he ought to go Albany.
