France summoned its envoy to the U.S. after Team Biden snubbed our oldest ally in creating a national security deal with the United Kingdom and Australia.
And a drone strike the government claimed took out a key ISIS-K planner did no such thing; the Pentagon confirmed that 10 civilians were killed, including seven children.
As the seasons change, it's safe to say Biden's first summer as the president went about as well as it has for the Baltimore Orioles (currently about 45 games out of first place in the American League East).
With multiple vaccines and more than 75 percent of the U.S. population receiving at least one dose, COVID-19 was supposed to be almost an afterthought at this point. Instead, the U.S. daily death toll approaches 2,000.

Afghanistan, from drone, strikes killing civilians to Americans still captured in the Taliban-controlled country, is an unmitigated disaster.

It would be like trying to defend the performance of the New York Jets, which simply cannot be done in any positive way. But what's missing in Biden's case is the piousness, the hostility, that we saw so often from the media during the last president's term.
CRITICS SLAM BIDEN'S ATTEMPT TO RELATE PERSONAL TRAGEDY TO POLICE OFFICER DEATHS
"Do you regret at all, all the lying you've done?" former President Trump was once asked at a press conference.
Fair question. But would that ever be posed to Biden after he's been caught lying? Of course not.

Ah yes, "uncontrollable events."
