Joe Biden gave a disastrous interview to “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday. He stated that if China attacked Taiwan, we would provide U.S. troops, and the White House had to rush out to clean that up. He tried to spin the heck out of questions regarding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (which he called the “Drategic Petroleum Reserve”) and his son Hunter, but it didn’t go well. He lied his head off about inflation and he even declared that the pandemic was “over.”
 

That last part is already driving some on the left crazy that he would say that because they’re so stuck in that mode of having their lives controlled by that fear.

But beyond that, as Charles Cooke observes, Biden’s big excuse — the alleged legal underpinnings — for the student loan bailout was the pandemic. The bailout was based on there being an emergency. If there is no more emergency, then the excuse goes away and we’re just talking about an illegal act on the part of Joe Biden. Of course, the excuse was ridiculously flimsy to start with.
