As the Biden administration winds to a close, the time has come to examine his record. Certain policy decisions stand out as colossal mistakes, while others are noteworthy for their extremism. Below are three policy areas where Biden administration extremism caused American voters who believed he would restore normalcy after the 2020 COVID pandemic to say \u201cno thank you\u201d to a continuation of his policies in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Abortion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

President Joe Biden began by\u00a0implementing<\/a>\u00a0abortion policies that have become standard for Democratic administrations. He rescinded the Trump administration\u2019s strengthened version of the Mexico City Policy, which prevents U.S. tax dollars from funding abortion organizations overseas. He also overturned the Trump administration\u2019s Protect Life Rule that restricted Title X family planning dollars from funding abortion facilities. The Biden administration Department of Justice challenged state laws that protected unborn babies in the womb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Biden administration took its pro-abortion agenda much further, especially after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. Biden\u2019s FDA removed the basic safety requirement for chemical abortion pills to be dispensed in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s Department of Defense (DOD) unilaterally\u00a0cha<\/a>n<\/a>ged<\/a>\u00a0its policy to begin paying for servicemembers and their family members to travel across state lines to obtain an abortion. When Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) held up military promotions over the illegal policy \u2014 something\u00a0senators do routinely<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the DOD\u00a0did without<\/a>\u00a0promotions for months rather than back away from their abortion policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. LGBT Agenda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in his term, President Biden directed all executive agencies to pursue a \u201cwhole-of-government<\/a>\u201d approach to advancing the LGBT agenda, which means deeply integrating the issue throughout the entire federal government. This played out across the administration in a variety of small ways. For instance, the U.S. State Department\u00a0added preferred pronouns<\/a>\u00a0to all email bylines, many of which were wrong. Also, on Easter Sunday 2024, President Biden issued a public proclamation\u00a0recognizing<\/a>\u00a0a Transgender Day of Visibility, but not one recognizing Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A much bigger issue was the Department of Education\u2019s attempt to\u00a0rewrite<\/a>\u00a0Title IX, which was written to protect women\u2019s rights and women\u2019s spaces in schools. The Biden administration\u2019s rule would allow biological males to compete in women\u2019s sports, it would punish school officials for using incorrect pronouns, and it would let biological males into women\u2019s locker rooms and restrooms. However, while the rule\u2019s extremism was clear, its legal justification was not. By summer\u2019s end, courts had temporarily\u00a0blocked<\/a>\u00a0the rule from taking effect in more than half of American states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there was the Biden administration\u2019s unnecessary meddling in efforts to protect minors from gender transition procedures. It started with officials in Biden\u2019s Department of Health and Human Services\u00a0pressuring<\/a>\u00a0transgender activists to modify their treatment guidelines based on political considerations \u2014 although those emails only became public in 2024. Biden\u2019s Department of Justice (DOJ) also\u00a0intervened<\/a>\u00a0in a lawsuit against a state law protecting minors from gender transition procedures,\u00a0arguing<\/a>\u00a0before the Supreme Court in early December that minors have a constitutional right to access these dangerous, experimental treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Weaponization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of the Biden DOJ, that department has engaged in weaponized lawfare against the president\u2019s political opponents. In mid-2022, the FBI conducted an\u00a0unprecedented raid<\/a>\u00a0on former President Donald Trump\u2019s home. This raid kicked off a whirlwind of political prosecutions of the former president, who was widely expected to be Biden\u2019s chief challenger in the next presidential election. The DOJ prosecuted Trump on federal criminal charges in both Washington, D.C. and Florida, but the charges were ultimately dropped after Trump won the 2024 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Biden\u2019s DOJ sat on serious federal charges against\u00a0the president\u2019s son, Hunter<\/a>, until the statute of limitations ran out on the most serious charges. They then tried to offer Hunter a sweetheart plea deal, derailed by a judge asking too many questions. Hunter eventually pled guilty to charges but then received a\u00a0pardon<\/a>\u00a0which father Joe had previously promised not to grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden administration\u2019s weaponization of justice was not only directed against former President Trump. The DOJ colluded with school boards to\u00a0investigate<\/a>\u00a0(using counterterrorism resources<\/a>) parents who confronted the school boards at public meetings over their woke policies. The FBI\u00a0spied<\/a>\u00a0on traditional Catholics on the absurd notion that they were domestic terrorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DOJ also aggressively\u00a0prosecuted<\/a>\u00a0pro-lifers for protesting at abortion facilities years earlier, while doing nearly nothing to investigate scores of acts of vandalism against pro-life pregnancy centers committed in 2022. They arrested\u00a0Mark Houck<\/a>, father of seven, in an early morning SWAT raid on his home, only for a jury to later acquit him for the trumped-up charges the DOJ brought against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden administration carried out this campaign of terror under a veil of secrecy. When a doctor blew the whistle on a hospital secretly providing gender transition drugs to minors, in violation of state law, the DOJ\u00a0investigated<\/a>\u00a0the doctor \u2014 not the hospital \u2014 charged him with serious criminal penalties, and\u00a0tried to obtain<\/a>\u00a0a gag order against him. The DOJ retaliated against government whistleblowers and subtly\u00a0threatened<\/a>\u00a0more punishment if any DOJ staff informed congressional committees tasked with oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weaponization of government stretches all the way back to the COVID era, where the Biden administration fired soldiers and others who refused to take an untested vaccine; the Biden administration tried to implement a similar mandate for private businesses, but federal courts quickly struck that down. Additionally, files\u00a0released<\/a>\u00a0after Elon Musk\u2019s 2022 purchase of Twitter showed intense collusion between the government and Big Tech entities to\u00a0censor<\/a>\u00a0the legitimate opinions of American citizens who questioned the official government narratives about COVID or other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t take a right-wing extremist, or even a conservative, to find such brazen radicalism distasteful. These extreme policies were out of step with what even the average American swing voter wanted, and they collectively spewed these policies out by returning Donald Trump to the White House with a convincing victory in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, conservatives have retaken control of power in Washington simply by standing for commonsense principles like, don\u2019t force taxpayers to pay for abortions, don\u2019t allow men in women\u2019s sports, and don\u2019t use the force of law to persecute political opponents. True conservatives believe the government should do far more to promote human flourishing, and they must do a better job persuading the American people of their very good reasons for the convictions they hold. In the meantime, however, if radical progressives want to stand against everything that is \u201cnormal,\u201d conservatives are quite willing to stand for normalcy, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
