Lol! Before we begin the countdown, this is another opinion piece from a known right winger conservative blogger which is to say it's obviously going to be a biased opinion piece. There's your first clue, Sherlock...
1. "He was handed a stable foreign policy," Are you friggin kidding?! Here's an example: "With John Bolton dismissed, Taliban peace talks a fiasco and a trade war with China, US foreign policy is ever more unstable and confrontational"" Donald Trump was talking about relaxing sanctions on Iran and holding a summit with its president, Hassan Rouhani, at this month’s UN general assembly in New York. John Bolton, his hawkish national security adviser, was dead against it and forcefully rejected Trump’s ideas during a tense meeting in the Oval Office on Monday."
"Big mistake. Still angry over the humiliating collapse of his secret Camp David weekend summit with the Afghan Taliban, which Bolton had also opposed, Trump was in no mood to listen to his aide’s notoriously hardline views. “I disagreed strongly with him,” he said later. Trump lost his temper – and Bolton lost his job, summarily dismissed by tweet."

2. "On energy, Shapiro took issue with Biden's shuttering of the Keystone XL pipeline," "A Facebook post, appearing eight days after the order, claimed: "Stopping the pipeline did not change our use of oil. It just made oil more expensive for us to use. Thanks Joe!! What an idiot!!!"
"The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed."
"There’s no evidence yet that Biden’s decision, which fulfilled a campaign promise dating back to at least May 2020, triggered any spike in oil prices that affects consumers now."

3. "Biden's foreign policy, Shapiro said, also leaves too much room for China to make inroads in taking territory in the South China Sea, including Taiwan."
"We rate the Biden administration’s China policy in the first year as promising. Transatlantic convergence on language and positioning vis-à-vis Beijing has been notable (the Europeans deserve their share of this credit, as well) and Washington, despite some stumbles, is working hard to coordinate with partners. This sets the stage for smart coordinated action moving forward."

4. Illegal immigration: "Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, most encounters have resulted in expulsion from the U.S., unlike before the pandemic, when the vast majority ended in apprehension instead. The Trump administration began expelling migrants in March 2020 under a public health order aimed at limiting the spread of COVID-19. The Biden administration has continued to expel migrants under the same order."

5 "On crime, Joe Biden has consistently sided against police and with those who would make their job harder." "The answer is not to defund the police, it’s to give you the tools, the training, the funding to be partners, to be protectors and the community needs you, know the community,” "He called for increased funding for community policing and for the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and the U.S. Marshalls office, arguing that monetary support will help reduce violence."
“We're not about defunding, we’re about funding and providing the additional services you need beyond someone with a gun strapped to their shoulder,”

The above is just some of Ben Shapiro nonsense duly debunked...
