We approve of Biden — responses to the challenge

Re: “Who approves of Biden?” Oct. 24 letter to the editor

The letter you published in Sunday’s paper is so rife with half-truths and outright falsehoods that it might as well have come from The Desk of Donald Trump. I understand that the editorial board is trying to provide a forum for a range of opinions, but that effort should not facilitate the spreading of misinformation.

One obvious reason for the president’s waning popularity is the widespread propagation of Republican talking points that have little or no basis in fact. I expect to see this kind of bilge on OAN or Fox, but not in The Post.

If you can’t find any anti-biden commentary in your inbox that isn’t laced with Trumpian inaccuracy, maybe you should just leave a blank space in the letters column with the note: “Insert Right-wing Fantasy Rant Here.”

C’mon, man!

I approve of President Joe Biden and the job he is attempting to do for us!

In answer to the letter, I would like to point out a few things. The following are not in the control of the president: gasoline prices, the supply chain problems, and the behavior of parents at school board meetings.

The empty shelves and inflation are being caused by the supply chain — not presidential policy. The shortage of workers is caused by a wide variety of reasons: obtaining education that allows entry to a new job; finding that the hours offered are not steady or guaranteed; finding that salaries/hourly wages don’t provide a livable wage; lack of workplace safety; lack of affordable childcare; founding their own business ... the list goes on.

Drugs come into this country via ports — not individuals attempting to enter our country through the southern border. The released individuals are asylum seekers awaiting judicial hearings, but our immigration courts are behind. Their release is both humane and economical.

The investigation into the Jan. 6 uprising is both appropriate and necessary. Innocent visitors to the Capitol do not enter through a window they broke. The Capitol police were severely outnumbered and did their best to keep our elected representatives safe.

In the meantime, we must stop vilifying or threatening those who disagree with us. Let’s start listening and finding common ground. Let’s work together to keep our country an example of good governance.
