"The Dumbest Biden"; . . ." ultimately the dumbest people around are those who voted for Joe."

 Townhall

The Biden myth – this idea that Joe is some average guy who found himself in politics, but never lost his “middle-class Joe” roots is a joke. Joe was never middle class. His family was wealthy until his father squandered the money. It seems no one with the name Biden was particularly bright.


. . ."But since they, Joe has been in “public service,” which is code for government jobs. That gave him power and a level of job security most people never experience. If the people of Delaware were dumb enough to elect him, he was set. 

Joe’s story isn’t compelling or even interesting, so he lies about it. It’s a sign of wild insecurity that he lies about his life the way he does – from academic achievements, which he claims but did not have, to the tragic death of his first wife and daughter, which he blamed for years on a drunk driver but simply is not true. Again, there is something deeply wrong with a man who would not only exploit the death of family members, but would also lie in the process.". . .

. . ." Jill’s first husband is still alive, and in a story that would be front page news were her name Melania Trump, tells how she started having an affair with Joe while they were still married. Since she’s a Biden, the media has little interest.". . .

. . ."When you have a hooker and stripper-banging, crack-smoking son in the family and there’s still a question over which member is the dumbest, you’ve stumbled onto a very “special” group of people. The Biden name is associated with a lot of arrests and abuses, so there isn’t really a winner in the bunch. Yet somehow, miraculously, they’ve managed to become fabulously wealthy with no discernable skills among them, except a willingness to exploit Joe’s position of public trust."

On Biden's Build Back Bitter Bluster   . . ."Beyond this, it should be added that Reagan, and most other presidents, were. usually disciplined enough never to let the media visibly get under his skin. Clinton had a few lapses in this department, but Biden makes Clinton look like a model of chastity by comparison.

"More evidence that he isn’t up to the rigors of the office."...See for yourself:  President Reagan handled his age issue perfectly...   Great humor and Mondale's reaction was classy

Russia-Ukraine tensions need a unified NATO response. But Biden shook the alliance.

NBC News

The president's words will embolden Vladimir Putin to be even more aggressive and accelerate his asymmetric attacks on other neighboring nations.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin won a major victory this past week, and it didn’t require him to move a single soldier or weapon into Ukraine. During a news conference at the White House Wednesday, President Joe Biden made several considerable concessions. These rhetorical retreats would not only damage and further destabilize the government in Kyiv. They also reverberated in capitals across eastern and central Europe, leaving leaders there feeling even more vulnerable to Moscow’s meddling.

What should Biden have said? He needed to channel Winston Churchill: Describe in stark terms the gravity of our present predicament.

"In diplomacy, the messaging really matters. Having served in numerous embassies overseas, I’ve seen how the right message can help secure peace. But the wrong message can lead to conflict. What Biden said about a potential Russian invasion and NATO’s response falls squarely into the latter category. His words will embolden Putin to be even more aggressive and accelerate his asymmetric attacks on other neighboring nations.

"The president recklessly remarked that the price for Russia invading Ukraine “depends on what it does. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do” — the “we” apparently referring to NATO.". . .

Everywhere one looks, Biden has made the world a more dangerous place: China threatens Taiwan, saying Afghanistan withdrawal proves US ‘won’t help’ if war breaks out    Always relevant: Do we need show business celebrities picking our national leaders?

Senator John Kennedy: Americans Are Tired of Democrats Calling Them Racists (VIDEO)

 The Gateway Pundit   "Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana is a gem who has a way with words and a great sense of humor.

"During a recent appearance on FOX News, he called out Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and various other Democrats for constantly accusing other Americans of racism.

"He said that the American people are tired of it, and is he ever right." . . .


. . ."The American people are getting pretty tired of being called a racist or a traitor or Nazi because they don’t agree with the president’s woke neo-socialist agenda. And that is why his poll numbers are on a journey to the center of the Earth, and he needs to stop it."

Readying for a dangerous 2022 election

Apart from Trump, what other president, Democrat or Republican, acted upon closing the southern border?  None.  What other president promised and delivered moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?  None.  And what other president stood up to the one-sided trade practices of China?  None.

 American Thinker   . . ."Such is the case with the election and rejection of President Donald Trump and the subsequent appearance of President Joe Biden. 

"These men didn't just happen.  President Trump was elected on the heels of eight disappointing years of President Barack Obama — a presidency that saw America embarrassed and diminished on the world stage, a sinking economy, and many Americans' dismal outlook of the future. 

"Trump was seen as the antidote to the self-serving establishment.  Always a threat as a true outsider, he became the establishments' kryptonite when he started to fight back, something Republicans had little stomach for. " . . .


. . ."Make no mistake: the establishment or swamp, call it what you want, is well aware of Biden's and Harris's dismal approval ratings.  Their insatiable quest to maintain power, along with the reality of a Republican wave, will most likely cause them to act in imprudent ways dangerous to the Republic.  With this in mind, in the weeks and months to come, all Americans must be extra-vigilant regarding voting rights legislation as well as any proposed changes to the structure of the Supreme Court."

You only thought you were vaccinated

 


Andrea Widberg  . . ."I'm pretty sure that the people advancing the endless shots do not intend for everyone who had them to die, which is what some people fear.  Instead, I believe that the pressure for vaccines lies in two things: profit and power. A lot of people are getting very rich thanks to vaccines and, now, an unending number of boosters.  And across Europe and America, way too many small-minded, stupid political leaders are accruing terrifying amounts of power.  At the end of the day, if I had to choose between a disease with a <1% mortality rate and a power-mad political class, I'll take the first every time."

The Top 10 COVID Villains of 2021 - American Thinker  "Your humble correspondent hoped to have this retrospective completed by the start of the New Year, but a tussle with omicron intervened.  Nevertheless, it still seems worthwhile to pause and remember the worst COVID offenders of 2021.

"As we do so, questions inevitably arise.  When will these wrongdoers be held accountable for the death and destruction they have wrought on our world?  What should their punishments be?  How should they be made examples of — cautionary tales to dissuade those who might plot similar evils in the future?

M&M’s Efforts To Be ‘More Inclusive’ Met With Mockery On Twitter UPDATED

UPDATE: Babylon Bee: Trans M&M

M&Ms Introduces New Trans Character Who Identifies As A Skittle | The Babylon Bee


"As part of a bold new marketing strategy to promote inclusivity and appeal to less than 1% of the population, Mars, Incorporated has introduced a new M&M character who identifies as a Skittle. 

" 'I'm gonna be honest here. We basically are doing this because it's hip and makes us look cool," said Mars, Incorporated CEO Franklin Crunchy. "And that adds to the bottom line. I think we can make a decent fortune by comparing the hardship of real trans people to a wacky cartoon character."

" 'Trans people deserve to be represented by M&Ms," he continued. "Our Trans-Skittle character will help us break chocolate-covered barriers in your mouth and not in your hands."

"The new character, named Quinn, is an M&M that wears an "S" because they haven't had letter reassignment surgery yet. On the inside, Quinn has the same chocolate taste because it isn't able to change anything but its outward appearance.

" 'We just want to let the trans community know that M&M supports you and wants your money!" said the Mars CEO.

"The LGBTQ+ community took to Twitter to ask why there isn't a Latinx M&M. "Do better," tweeted user @ihatemyself.". . .

Forbes


"Mars, Incorporated, the producer of the popular M&Ms, announced this week that its famed characters will get a "modern makeover" and that will include more "nuanced personalities," as part of a "global commitment to creating a world where everyone feels they belong and society is inclusive."

"Not Changing the Colors

"More than 400 million of the colorful, candy-coated chocolates are produced daily and eaten around the world. The original colors included red, yellow, green, brown, orange and violet. In 1949, tan replaced violet – only to be replaced by blue in 1995.

"However, those familiar colors won't be changing. Rather, it is the personas of the M&Ms that are getting a makeover.

"As TheHill.com reported, the current green M&M character, which has been seen in ads posing seductively and wearing white go-go boots, will now sport a pair of sneakers instead. In addition, the description for the green candy on the M&M's website noted that she enjoys "being a hypewoman for my friends."

"Via the M&M's promotional site, the green M&M character added, "I think we all win when we see more women in leading roles, so I'm happy to take on the part of supportive friend when they succeed."

"Another character, the brown M&M, described her motto as, "Not bossy. Just the boss."

Democrats making it 'harder to get a burger in your nation's capital than it is to get carjacked': Chip Roy | Fox News

"The truth is going to keep coming out … and all roads are going to lead to big health care," he added. "Follow the money and you're going to see what's driving all of this." 

Smash & Grab Back Better (wnd.com)

 Fox News  "Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, condemned the left's COVID response Thursday on "Fox News Primetime."

"Democrats are "making it harder to get a burger in Washington … than it is to get carjacked," Roy told guest host Pete Hegseth.

"A Centers for Disease Control & Prevention study suggested natural immunity against COVID-19 provided better protection against the delta variant than vaccination alone, Roy said. 

"The study noted vaccination is still the safest preventative strategy against the virus.

" 'It's not about science, right?" he asked. "This is all about power.". . .

DC RESIDENTS SPEAK OUT AFTER NIGHT OF BRAZEN SHOOTINGS: 'DEFINITELY AN INCREASE IN VIOLENCE'

Kirsten Powers of CNN declares "Joe Biden is not failing or flailing"

Just in time for the State of the Union. Could Ms. Powers have been assigned this job by Zucker? What was her reaction upon being told to write these words? 

Powers
 Opinion: Joe Biden is not failing or flailing - CNN  "Here's an apparently unpopular opinion: Joe Biden is not failing or flailing. His presidency is not in peril.

"It's hard to see this through the blizzard of over-the-top headlines such as, "
Biden Can Still Rescue His Presidency," "How the Biden Administration Lost Its Way" and "Biden's Epic Failures.". . .

It seems that whatever Biden's flaws, the country is in a better place than it was when he took office, something that was not a given considering the challenges he was up against. Like all presidents, he is clearly absorbing the lessons of the first year and recalibrating for the next.

This... is CNN! 

CNN analyst implores Joe Manchin to leave Democrat Party: 'It would be better off'

During an appearance on "Don Lemon Tonight," Powers slammed Manchin over his lack of outright support for the bill and, appearing to forget that Democrats only maintain control of the Senate with Vice President Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote, called on Manchin to either become a Republican or independent.

"Countering acts of racism is a necessary and noble cause... but the new ‘cancel culture’ has turned it into reverse discrimination, that is, reverse racism."

 Althouse  "The obsessive emphasis on race is further dividing people, when the real fighters for civil rights dreamed precisely about erasing differences and refusing to divide people by skin color.... Incidentally... I think this should remind you of something that is happening. And we see what is happening in the Western countries. It is with puzzlement that we see the practices Russia used to have and that we left behind."

"Said Vladimir Putin, making the news last October (in the Boston Herald), but I'm thinking about them this morning because yesterday — prompted by YouTube's algorithm — we watched this new Jordan Peterson video:"

America's adversaries are serious. Too many Americans are merely silly!

 New Rule: Losing to China | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - YouTube  "Bill warns Americans that while they're busy obsessing over silly culture wars, China is overtaking them on the world stage." Be sure to read the comments: click on this subject below this. video here TD


“You’re not going to win the battle for the 21st Century if you are a Silly People, and Americans are a Silly People,” said Maher. “That’s the classic phrase from Lawrence of Arabia when Lawrence tells his Bedouin allies that as long as they stay a bunch of squabbling tribes, they will remain a Silly People. Well, we’re the Silly People now.”

"Scathing criticisms of Joe Biden’s disastrous cut-and-run in Afghanistan have been issued by even his media cheerleaders at CNN, NPR and the New York Times. Career diplomats including former Obama officials have publicly excoriated his administration for incompetence. Foreign leaders are baffled.

"Only the Taliban is happy.

"A withdrawal from Afghanistan may have been necessary, but it didn’t have to happen this way. Only 2,500 soldiers were there anyway – about the same as in Iraq. As in Iraq, this small number kept relative peace. The last American soldier killed in Afghanistan was a year and a half ago. That’s one more dead soldier than I’d like, but it’s a violent world and soldiers keeping the peace have a dangerous job.

"Biden assured us just a month ago that this wouldn’t happen. He said the Afghan soldiers far outnumbered the Taliban, and there would be no “Saigon” moment where American embassy staff are helicoptered from the roof of the embassy as the barbarians bang down the gate." . . .

Five Quick Things: Boy, How About That Press Conference, Huh?

 


Our denier-in-chief would have us believe that no, he’s not losing it, the Ukraine situation is fine, and there’s nothing to see here in his dismal poll numbers.

"Thursday, on Hugh Hewitt’s show, Sen. Rand Paul summed up the Joe Biden one-year anniversary press gaggle accurately.

"Paul said that putting Biden out in public is now dangerous. It signals weakness to our enemies and it’s provocative.

"He’s right, you know. That press conference was awful in ways that shouldn’t be possible for the elected leader of the world’s indispensable nation.

"How bad was it? Well …" 

Point #2 was, to me, the most significant as Democrats lay the groundwork to challenge any Republican victory predicted this coming year:

2. Pre-slandering the 2022 election   "

Remember when the legacy media repeatedly erupted in paroxysms of contempt back in 2020 and in 2016 when Donald Trump would openly complain about rigged elections? That was unacceptable, they said, even though much of Trump’s motivation for trashing the sanctity of our balloting was trolling the Democrats about their own refusal to accept losing (as in 2000 and 2004, for example).

"It turns out that Joe Biden is as bad as they accused Trump of being. In one of the lowlights of the speech, Biden attacked the legitimacy of the 2022 midterms in which his party is due to suffer a legendary rout. The latest Trafalgar poll has the generic congressional ballot in uncharted territory — 55.7 percent R, 42.2 percent D.

"Amid this, Biden says that if the Senate won’t kill the filibuster and give him his Banana Republic Vote Fraud Bill, then the 2022 midterm elections are bogus: . ."

Perception vs Reality: Leftist Journos See What They Want to See – RedState


"Yesterday, Joe Biden spent two hours speaking. At least it resembled speaking. Kinda. It was mostly gibberish and nonsense that reporters, journalists, Jen Psaki, and Americans were left to interpret. It was, objectively, a flame-out for ‘ol Joe Biden — from his creepy-scary, clown-in-a-sewer whisper to flat-out lies, from his uncomfortable pauses when his brain had to reset like Windows 95, to “Old man yelling at clouds.”

"But objective facts are not in style with our betters. PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor couldn’t wait for Joe’s corpse to cool; she resurrected and pretended to reanimate Joe, like Weekend at Bernie’s. She alerted her followers that Biden had won the night, and won her heart. In a stunningly Bagdad Bob-like tweet, she lavished praise on Biden.

"If you wonder what level of leg-humping it was, Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain retweeted it. My colleague, Sister Toldjah covered and critiqued in full the absurdity of Alcindor’s adulation here, but suffice to say, Alcindor was looking through rose-colored glasses. She didn’t see what the rest of America saw.

"Alcindor and other leftist journos might see Superman, but the rest of America sees a doddering old man.". . .

Yes, the Tunnel Wall has been scathingly anti-Democrat just as our left-wing media has been anti-Trump and will be anti-any-Republican who comes next. TW sees America in great danger as the world sees us as a silly nation with our wokeness and ridiculous choices for national leadership. Our silliness may soon manifest itself in a Shift From U.S. Dollar As World Reserve Currency Underway - What Will This Mean for America? I see it as beginning with Obama and accelerating under left-ruled Joe Biden.
