He implored Russia to exempt some American institutions from its cyber-attack target list.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder an empowered Russian President Vladimir Putin went into Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biden&#8217;s family is corrupt from top to bottom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Its influence peddling schemes increasingly are targets of congressional investigations. Biden himself is explicitly mentioned by his son Hunter as the recipient of a 10% commission on monies the family syndicate leveraged from foreign interests.<\/p>\n<p>Biden promised &#8220;unity.&#8221; Instead, he habitually smears half the country as &#8220;semi-fascists&#8221; and &#8220;ultra-MAGA&#8221; extremists.<\/p>\n<p>Biden is cognitively challenged and often incoherent. And he is now losing support in the polls from African Americans, once his most loyal constituency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In response, Biden does what he has always done for some 40 years: mouth wild racist demagoguery.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This graduation season, Biden deliberately chose Howard University to scare its Black graduates into believing the greatest threat to their aspirations is &#8220;white supremacy&#8221; &#8211; but that he, Biden, has been their protector in fighting it.<\/p>\n<p>Note the existential threats Biden deliberately omits.<\/p>\n<p>Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are flooding over a border Biden deliberately destroyed. Millions of incoming poor will vie for limited federal and state support with Americans who are in need.<\/p>\n<p>Since Biden was elected, there have been nearly 7 million illegal entries.<\/p>\n<p>Some 100,000 Americans now die each year from Mexican-produced fentanyl and other opioids shipped across a wide-open border.<\/p>\n<p>Biden did not mention that nearly 10,000 African Americans are murdered each year, over 90% of them killed by other African Americans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biden first should heal his own racism before he fabricates it in others.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He fueled his early Senate career with homages to southern Democratic segregationists such as Senator James O. Eastland, D-Miss. Biden even bragged that Eastland &#8220;never called me &#8216;boy.'&#8221; Biden gave eulogies for former Dixiecrat Sen. Strom Thurmond and former Klansman Sen. Robert Byrd.<\/p>\n<p>Of school busing, a younger Senator Biden thundered, &#8220;My children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden in 2008 patronized former President Barack Obama in racist terms as &#8220;the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 2012, Biden condescended to a group of accomplished Black professionals that the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, would &#8220;put y&#8217;all back in chains.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a presidential candidate in 2020, he dismissed two Black journalists, respectively with the putdowns &#8220;you ain&#8217;t Black&#8221; and &#8220;junkie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>His fabricated &#8220;Corn Pop&#8221; he-man autobiographical tales are utterly racist.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As president he has referred to two prominent people of color as &#8220;boy.&#8221; <strong>He still uses the term &#8220;Negro&#8221; to refer to Blacks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden never cites data to support his wild accusations that white supremacy poses the nation&#8217;s greatest threat.<\/p>\n<p>The 2020 riots, the lengthiest in our history, left up to 40 people dead, destroyed $2 billion in property, led to 14,000 arrests, spanned 120 days of mass looting, and arson, and saw mobs torching police precincts, federal courthouses, and an historic church.<\/p>\n<p>That violence was engineered by radicals in Antifa and Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n<p>In the January 6 Capitol protests, the only person confirmed to have been killed at that event was an unarmed military veteran and Trump supporter, Ashli Babbitt. She was lethally shot by a Capitol police officer for the misdemeanor of attempting to enter through a broken window.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If &#8220;white supremacy&#8221; is our &#8220;greatest&#8221; terrorist threat, surely crime statistics would reveal such an existential peril.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yet federal hate- and interracial-crime data show that so-called whites are considerably unrepresented demographically in such racially motivated violence.<\/p>\n<p>Far from galvanizing the public, Biden&#8217;s monotonous racial demagoguery is turning it off.<\/p>\n<p>The military suffers a vast drop in enlistments that began once Biden&#8217;s Pentagon brass, without evidence, likewise began demagoguing about supposed &#8220;white rage&#8221; in the ranks.<\/p>\n<p>Only 37% of independents in a recent poll now support Biden. Some 70% of the public in other polls opposes a second Biden run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So on spec, a panicked Biden now turns to what he has done for decades &#8211; inflammatory racial demagoguery.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><em>Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and the author, most recently, of The Case for Trump.
