Democrat Bidens report card

Peter Doocy Reveals White House's SHAMEFUL Excuse For Joe Biden Skipping 9/11 Memorial Ceremony (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit  “It’s no surprise to me that he’s not coming to Ground Zero or any of the 9/11 sites,” Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Donald Arias, who lost his brother Adam during the attacks, told “Fox & Friends First” Monday.

“And quite frankly, I prefer he stay away anyway. We will be spared one of his stories of how he can relate, like he did with the people of Lahaina, how he can relate because of a kitchen fire. We can do without that.”

"Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked White House staffers why Joe Biden won’t be attending the 9/11 ceremony." . . .


The Lesson of 9/11 Is a Warning That Biden's Declining Physical and Mental Ability Could Get People Killed – PJ Media   . . ."Enter President Joe Biden. A president who has taken more vacation days to recover from fewer hours worked than any president in living memory. A man who is the barely breathing role model for the 4-day 32-hour work week that socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders is now advocating. A man who, in rambling, almost incoherent appearances with other national leaders, keeps referring to his aides as the people telling him what to do.

"Joe Biden’s cognitive ability, never great, has declined over the last year to the point where even many Democrats are admitting he is too old to do the job. His insurance policy has been Vice President Kamala Harris, whose flitting forays onto the national stage have only served to highlight that Joe Biden is the brains of the operation." . . .

 OUTRAGE: The Biden Gang Preparing to Wire $6 Billion to Iran in Prisoner Swap This Week | The Gateway Pundit "

"When $6 billion of unfrozen Iranian funds are wired to banks in Qatar as early as next week, it will trigger a carefully choreographed sequence that will see as many as five detained U.S. dual nationals leave Iran and a similar number of Iranian prisoners held in the U.S. fly home, according to eight Iranian and other sources familiar with the negotiations who spoke to Reuters.

"As a first step, Iran on Aug. 10 released four U.S. citizens from Tehran’s Evin prison into house arrest, where they joined a fifth, who was already under house arrest. Later that day U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the move the first step of a process that would lead to their return home.

"They include businessmen Siamak Namazi, 51, and Emad Sharqi, 59, as well as environmentalist Morad Tahbaz, 67, who also holds British nationality, the U.S. administration has said. The Tahbaz and Shargi families did not respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for the Namazi family declined to comment.

"The identities of the fourth and fifth Americans, one of whom according to two sources is a woman, have not been disclosed. Reuters couldn't establish which Iranian prisoners, in turn, would be swapped by the U.S." . . .

Please. No more trips overseas for Joe Biden – HotAir

9/11 families to President Biden: Don't come to our memorial events (nbcnews.com)  . . ."Nearly 1,800 Americans directly affected by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks are opposing President Joe Biden’s participation in any memorial events this year unless he upholds his pledge to declassify U.S. government evidence that they believe may show a link between Saudi Arabian leaders and the attacks.

"The victims’ family members, first responders and survivors will release a statement Friday calling on Biden to skip 20th-anniversary events in New York and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon unless he releases the documents, which they believe implicate Saudi officials in supporting the acts of terrorism. The group says that as a candidate Biden pledged to be more transparent and release as much information as possible but that his administration has since then ignored their letters and requests." . . .

Joe Biden visited Ground Zero on 9/12/2001--in his own mind – HotAir  . . ."At least he didn’t compare his kitchen fire or the perils his Corvette found itself in to the troops, most of whom wouldn’t be old enough to remember the events of that fateful day. Instead they can remember that time a president visited them in Alaska to recount a Walter Mitty fantasy.

"So where was Joe Biden on September 12th? “Exactly where he wanted: in the U.S. Senate.”. . .

"The Biden Administration also had the good taste to announce a deal with Iran today of all days, despite the fact that Iran has admitted its complicity in the terrorist attacks. Why, of all days, would they put this out in the news?

 "The Biden Administration is like a social science experiment in which researchers are testing the tolerance of a population to incompetent and occasionally hostile leadership.

"How many insults to our intelligence can a population take? How much gaslighting will people tolerate? Can a political party survive a policy of disparaging its citizens and destroying the social fabric of a nation?

"So far the answer has been yes, it can.

"That doesn’t speak well for Biden’s supporters, in my view. The guy isn’t just senile, which would be bad enough. He oozes contempt for us and apparently revels in insulting us." . . .

The Lawyer on the Playground: the price we pay for a litigious society

 Intellectual Takeout

Tony Christopher, executive director of the National Institute for Play, said playgrounds post these signs hoping to “mitigate the liability of the entity responsible for the playground (school, municipality, etc.) in the event they are sued.”

“Welcome! Play Safe” reads the sign at a Fairfax County Public School playground in Virginia just outside of Washington D.C. It goes on to list a few simple rules — 21, by my count.

"First off, the playground should never be used when it’s frozen. Or wet.

"There can be no climbing on things like the safety rails (which are… fences?). And kids must not wear any clothing with drawstrings, hoods or toggles when playing — because these could get caught on something. (Ponytails seem grandmothered in.)

"On the slide, children must “take turns,” “sit in an upright position,” and “not climb.” There also must be “No loitering at slide entry or exit.”

"Loiter not, little ones!

"While she has seen this same sign at a playground for kids ages 6-12, Katie Courtney, a 32-year-old mom of four who brought this sign to my attention, says: “This is literally a playground that’s for 2- to 5-year-olds.” The slide there is about “as tall as an adult.”

"Nonetheless, when a child gets up to the top, legally they must hustle their butt right down. This disturbs Coutrney, who has her master’s in education and used to teach pre-school.

“ 'Part of the fun of being on the playground is that for three seconds you’re at the top of the slide — you have one moment of being in charge.” And if another kid is right behind you? “How hard is it for a 4-year-old to negotiate, ‘You need to move! You’re blocking everyone else!’?”

"Without legal counsel? That’s crazy." . . .

Biden Does the Unthinkable To Gold Star Mom After Marine Son’s Death -

  Analyzing America

The attack was a horrific tragedy that took the lives of many innocent people. It also highlighted the chaotic and dangerous situation in Afghanistan as well as deadly consequences of President Biden’s incompetence and poor leadership

Gold Star mother Kelly Barnett lost her 31-year-old son, Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover, during the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal of U.S. service members from Afghanistan.

Crying during a forum held from the families, Barnett opened up about the “disrespect,” “lies,” and “hatred” from the Biden White House. Republicans have launched an investigation into the botched withdrawal.

The grieving families of the fallen were “told lies” and given “incomplete” and “incorrect” reports. “I was told to my face, he died on impact,” Barnett explained. “That’s not true. The only reason that I know this is because witnesses told me the truth. I was lied to and basically told to shut up.” . . .

. . ."She said her son expressed concerns about how he witnessed “chaos, no communication, lack of leadership” during his final deployment.

“He lived for a little while… he was giving out his ammo,” the gold star mom said. “He tied a tourniquet at around his leg. I don’t understand the reasoning of that lie,” Barnett said. “It makes no sense other than the fact that, did they really even do an investigation? Did they talk to witnesses? I don’t know.” . . .
