Joe Biden Makes a Series of Insane Claims in a Speech, and No One Is Buying Them

The current president is responsible for the border crisis. Full stop. Any suggestion otherwise is absolutely bonkers. As I've said before, Biden is a sociopath. That's how he's able to say the things he does with a straight face, but in the end, no one is buying them.

 Joe Biden's mind and his as it pretty much as it has been: RedState   "Joe Biden had a rare late night on Thursday, appearing at the 46th Annual Gala for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. 

"As he began to speak, it was immediately obvious why the president rarely does evening events. He continually screwed up his own "MAGA Republican" insult, calling them "mega" Republicans instead. It wasn't his senility that was noteworthy, though. Rather, it was a series of insane claims he made. 

"Let's start with this one on the deficit because it's maybe the mildest one. Yes, I've got another example coming that is simply mindblowing, but patience is a virtue." . . .

BIDEN: "I love our friends on the right talk about, the mega guys, about reducing the deficit ... on my watch, deficits have already fallen over $1 trillion!"

 Biden Has More Concerning Repetition of Words During Zelensky Meet-up, Then Forgets Who He's Addressing – RedState   "As I reported on Wednesday, Joe Biden's meeting and remarks with the Brazilian President Lula da Silva did not go very well. 

"He said the quiet part out loud, acknowledging that they were telling him when he could talk and when he should be cutting off the reporters. He also almost knocked down the Brazilian flag as he walked onto the stage, leaving Lula and another speaker behind when they were announced together. But perhaps worst of all, when he was leaving after the remarks with Lula, he saluted the audience and just walked off, as Lula stood there. He shook hands with the other speaker and then just seemed to wave his arm in disgust in response to Biden walking off and not even acknowledging him. Biden didn't even seem to understand that he was supposed to shake hands/walk off with Lula." . . .

Hands off Our Kids Comes of Age

When we send our children to public schools, which are government institutions, we put them in their care because we trust them to care for our children in our behalf and by foisting the trans ideology and indoctrination in general upon them the government is betraying that trust.

 Max D. Dublin- American Thinker   "The only good that came from the pandemic lockdowns was that parents in great numbers finally began to learn what was going on in the public school system as the corrupt curriculum was inadvertently beamed into their homes. This knowledge has given birth to an ever-growing backlash. Although protests and demonstrations are no longer my thing, when notice arrived in my inbox that concerned parents and their supporters were organizing demonstrations across Canada called “A Million March 4 Children” for September 20 I could not resist attending. I expected a sizable protest of diverse concerned parents and their supporters and as well as a strong counterprotest from the transgender lobby. I was not disappointed.

"In her book Totalitarianism Hannah Arendt wrote that the first order of business for aspiring totalitarian regimes is to get their hands on a country’s children. That’s why the German Nazis established Hitler Youth. That’s why Communist USSR set up the Young Pioneers. That is why in Mao’s Cultural Revolution children were made to turn against their parents. And that is why in the early days of the mainly leftist kibbutz movement in Israel children were raised in the so-called children’s homes, apart from their parents. Lenin is said to have written, “Give me a child till the age of seven and I’ll have him for life.” But Lenin wanted to own children through indoctrination -- it never occurred to him to do so through drugs and genital mutilation. Indeed, the idea would have appalled him: mutilated children are disabled for life, their ineluctable need for self-care and personal maintenance renders them useless even as useful idiots." . . .

Teens Accused of Intentionally Hitting, Killing Biker Now Id'd, Driver Claimed He'd Be 'Out in 30 Days'

RedState

“We believe that Andy’s murder is a direct result of society’s decayed family values and the strong effects that social media has on our youth,” Probst added.

It was horrible enough that retired police chief Andreas Probst, 64, was hit and killed while riding his bike in Las Vegas. 

But it got so much worse when a video came out about how he was killed, that he was run down intentionally by teens in a car, who giggled with one even saying "Hit his ass."  You can see that graphic video here. After allegedly hitting Probst, they fled and left him lying there to die. The video was shocking and it went viral on social media because of the laughter, the seemingly deliberate nature of the act, and the filming of it. Police discovered it and then said they believed the actions to be intentional. 

Now, the teens have been identified. And it turns out they aren't just accused of hitting and killing Probst. " . . .

When Ayala was originally picked up, he was arrested on a warrant as well as for obstructing a police officer, and he told them he thought he would be out in thirty days. 

“You think this juvenile [expletive] is gonna do some [expletive]? I’ll be out in 30 days, I’ll bet you,” Ayala told the cops, according to KLAS.

“It’s just ah, [expletive] ah, hit-and-run — slap on the wrist.”

It looks like he may have miscalculated on that. 

My Party: The Stupid Party!

 Ann Coulter

You only have a bare majority in one house of Congress, Republicans: This is no time to be hot-shots for causes that won't get you a single vote.

. . ."Meanwhile, the not-stupid -- but unfocused -- conservative Freedom Caucus is threatening to shut down the government unless they get concessions, primarily cuts in government spending.

"I have a secret for you, GOP: No one cares about government spending. I'm sure it's important, and there are probably a hundred Wall Street Journal articles explaining why, but not more than 1% of voters will ever reward you for cutting spending.

"Government spending is Republicans' "climate change." We've gotten frantic warnings that the world will end if we don't cut spending for the last 50 years -- exactly as long as we've been warned that the world will end if we don't cut carbon emissions. Year after year, we do nothing, and yet the world doesn't come remotely close to ending.

"You only have a bare majority in one house of Congress, Republicans: This is no time to be hot-shots for causes that won't get you a single vote.

"But you know what would be hugely popular? Put down the Journal and look around you. There's not a corner of this country that isn't sick to death of "migrants" (illegal aliens) streaming into their towns and neighborhoods. And this horror show, now playing nationwide, is 100% Biden's fault. 100%.

"Even the most cosseted, liberal "sanctuary cities" have cried uncle, pleading for Biden to cut off the flow of illegals." . . .

America Is Becoming a Joke; Kurt Schlichter     "The United States just lost an F-35 as part of its campaign to reduce itself from the greatest superpower in human history to a pitiful punchline. Ah, the magic of leftism – only it can make a great country like America ridiculous. From an inability to find its fighters to an unwillingness to defend its borders or prosecute criminals – with the exception of conservatives framed for the crime of conservativing – our country has become the Three Stooges without the dignity.". . .

We left our nation in San Francisco

 Shellenberger joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how the left’s “victim” ideology has harmed West Coast cities and what can be done to save those communities from complete ruin. 

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

Former Soros Activist Explains How Progressives Ruined San Francisco (dailysignal.com)  . . ." One of the things, when you interview progressives still to this day, and I discovered this quite a bit in my research, they blame [Ronald] Reagan, first as governor in the 1960s and then as president, for the homeless crisis, even though progressives have controlled California for decades. Democrats have a supermajority in Congress. We spend more than any other state per capita on homelessness and mental illness, and we have the worst outcomes.

"So I wanted to write “San Fransicko” to both get to the bottom of what’s really going on and also figure out what the solutions are because, obviously, we’re dealing with a catastrophe. I mentioned drug overdose deaths rose from 17,000 to 70,000 by 2017. Last year, drug deaths were 93,000, which is almost three times as many people than die from car accidents and four times as many people as die from homicide. Clearly, we are in the midst of a massive drug crisis, and it felt like nobody was offering a particularly clear explanation of it or offering very good solutions.

"Allen: I love that curiosity and that drive to say, “OK, there’s obviously an issue here, and we actually need to find a solution.” You’re asking the hard questions. That’s something we really need more of. Now, Michael, for those who have not been to San Francisco, for those who are not too familiar maybe with the situation there, if you were to leave your house, cross the bay, and walk through the streets of San Francisco, give us a picture of what we would see.

"Shellenberger: Sure. San Francisco remains one of the most spectacularly beautiful cities in the world. Just driving across the Bay Bridge into San Francisco, its skyline is stunning; three major bridges into San Francisco, incredible skyline, beautiful, surrounded by water, humpback whales not far from the coast.

"But as soon as you drive downtown, you see tents. You see what are euphemistically called homeless encampments, but they are more accurately described as open drug scenes. That’s the expression that’s used by European researchers. I point out that the Europeans dealt with this exact same problem in the 1980s in places like Zurich, Switzerland; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Lisbon, Portugal; Frankfurt, Germany.

"What you find is just these are people that are living on the street. They’re living on the street because … almost all of them, if not really all of them, are suffering from severe drug addiction, severe drug and alcohol addiction.

"In the 1980s, what we called homelessness—I point out in the book that homelessness is a propaganda word. It was designed to mislead people about what’s really going on. It was designed by progressives to mislead people into thinking that people live on the street because they can’t afford the rent. That’s not the case. The people on the street, we know, are there because of addiction and untreated mental illness." . . .

Has The Hallmark Channel Gone Too Woke?

 Has The Hallmark Channel Gone Too Woke?

"They need to go back and bring back the original awesome actors and actresses. Hallmark is not the same as it was a few years ago. I’ve lost interest in watching.

Nolte: CEO and Stars Flee Hallmark Channel for Non-Woke Network (breitbart.com)

. . ."No one wants to watch that crap.

"No.

"One.

"The Hallmark Channel had a very specific audience, a wholesome audience. The left targeted it to deliberately alienate that audience and destroy one of the few remaining family channels that was still a family channel. That’s what the left does. And those who fall for it find they have not increased their audience. Instead, they are ruined.

"Knowing this, Bill Abbott, the CEO of Crown Media Family (which owns the Hallmark Channel), jumped ship. He wanted nothing to do with producing propaganda. This is also true of a number of the stars who helped make the Hallmark Channel what it is: Candace Cameron-Bure, Danica McKellar, and Jen Lilley.

"Giant Freakin’ Robot says Abbott’s goal at his new network, Great American Media, “is to respond to the Hallmark Channel’s initiatives by providing the family entertainment his former employer became known for[.]”

"Abbott adds that Great American Media viewers can “expect lighthearted fun … heartwarming stories [and none of the] “dark situations, violence, sexual situations, things that just…create anxiety.”

"And now, the same thing that happened to Star Wars and the Boy Scouts will happen to the Hallmark Channel. What had been universally beloved will now become polarized, intolerant, stressful, and no fun.". . .

Well, I haven't seen Hallmark get to that point yet. TDing

Randi Weingarten's Divisive Rhetoric

"There might not be anyone that's done more damage recently than Randi Weingarten to the kids living in distressed communities, especially like the ones where I grew up… It's so frustrating to hear these liberal lies, hearkening back to a day that no longer exists."  Sen. Tim Scott 

 American Thinker   "Teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten has taken a troubling stance that has left many parents and supporters of school choice and parental rights initiatives feeling alienated and insulted. Weingarten's recent comparison of these advocates to segregationists is not only divisive but also a grave mischaracterization of the very parents who are striving to be more involved in their children's education. 

"Weingarten's likening of the rhetoric of parental rights advocates to that of segregationists is a deeply flawed and misguided attempt to delegitimize their cause. Using race as a weapon to shame those who seek to empower parents is not only disingenuous but also a troubling trend in today's political discourse. Weingarten's choice to invoke the specter of segregation is a deliberate attempt to silence opposing viewpoints and shut down legitimate debates about the future of education.

"At its core, the issue at hand is not about race but about the fundamental rights of parents to have a voice in their children's education. Randi Weingarten, as the leader of a prominent teachers union, has made it her mission to deny parents this crucial voice. Even more concerning is her consistent effort to subvert educational standards, effectively fueling an era of low expectations for our children.

"Every year, millions of parents entrust their children's educational well-being to a system that should prioritize their input and concerns. Instead, they find themselves belittled and voiceless in the face of a union boss who claims to care about parents but consistently works to destroy local control of education. This isn't just about policy differences; it's about the very essence of democracy and the role of parents in shaping the futures of their children." . . .

Joe Biden Can’t Stop Making Racist Comments

  America Insider (msn.com)   . . ." An attorney for IRS agent Gary Shapley responded, “This suit against the IRS is just another frivolous smear by Biden family attorneys trying to turn people’s attention away from Hunter Biden’s own legal problems and intimidate any current and future whistleblower.”

“The federal judge in Delaware who oversaw the aborted plea deal shot down similar claims against the whistleblowers after they exposed the secret backroom deal between Hunter Biden and the Department of Justice,” the lawyer continued.

“Neither IRS SSA Gary Shapley nor his attorneys have ever released any confidential taxpayer information except through whistleblower disclosures authorized by statute. Once Congress released that testimony, like every American citizen, he has a right to discuss that public information.” . . .

"Biden’s offensive comments came during a speech at Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Maryland.

"Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT), who is black, said, “Another day, another racist comment from Biden. Crickets from the mainstream media. I keep saying I am almost 51 years old and Joe Biden is the most explicitly racist president in my lifetime,” said attorney Aaron Walker. “Good lord.”

National GOP spokeswoman Madison Gesiotto Gilbert said, “Nooo, he didn’t.”

"Later in the speech, Biden appeared to admit that he discriminated when hiring his cabinet and judicial nominations.

“You know, and, by the way, when I got elected, I promised that I wanted an administration that would look like America,” Biden said. “I got more women in the Cabinet than any president has ever in history. And I got more women — more women than men in the Cabinet,” he said.

"“And I put more black women on the appellate court and the Supreme Court than every other president combined in American history.”

"The mainstream media is accused of giving Biden a “free pass” by failing to scrutinize these remarks. Here’s a look at some of Biden’s other racially-charged comments: . . ."

Hillary Clinton Hit With Some Inconvenient Truths After Speech on ‘War on Truth,’ Journalists in America –

  RedState

"As I've said before, Hillary Clinton is one of the least self-aware people on this planet, and she proved it once again in remarks she made Tuesday in a speech given on the second day of the Clinton Global Initiative Meeting in New York City.

"Clinton portrayed herself as a staunch defender of journalists and the First Amendment and talked about how she saw the dangers the press sometimes faced firsthand during her time as Secretary of State under then-President Barack Obama.

"She could not of course resist ranting about how journalists here in America faced attacks on a daily basis from people who she said wanted to create "alternative facts to support false narratives."

" 'We have a very real war on truth, facts, and reason," she also declared, while calling on people to do their "duty" in defending "free and honest journalism, to help keep all of us informed, to hold institutions to account."

"She went on to say, "You can't have a democracy if you don't have people reporting on what leaders are doing."  

"Watch a short clip below (or the full speech here starting at around the 1:04 hour mark):" . . .

 Hunter Biden Sues IRS For 'Embarrassing' Him, And We Can't Stop Laughing - America Insider

Hunter Biden – Hollywood Hills, $2.5 Million   "Amidst the rolling hills of the Hollywood Hills, Hunter Biden’s home is a hidden gem. The midcentury modern abode is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city, offering its residents a taste of old Hollywood glamor.

EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden moves into $15,800-a-month Malibu home with wife Melissa and son Beau - as Secret Service hunkers down across the road in taxpayer-funded crash pad | Daily Mail Online

"Four California homes in four years – Hunter Biden is on the move again.

"The beleaguered First Son and his wife Melissa Cohen have moved into a new $15,800-per-month Malibu pad, DailyMail.com can reveal.

"And when Hunter moves his Secret Service detail has to pick up stakes as well. They have landed a home across the street at $16,000 per month – funded by none other than the US taxpayer." . . .

. . ."Hunter’s first home in Southern California was a $12,000-per-month rented house in the Hollywood Hills, where he set up his art studio for his new career in 2019. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom mid-century property had a pool and a gated drive. 

"He then moved to a $4.2million canal-side Venice Beach house in 2021. He and Melissa allegedly left the home in a state of 'disarray and disrepair' and owing approximately $80,000 in outstanding rent, a source told DailyMail.com.>" ''Hunter and Melissa were horrible tenants. Not only did they stiff the owner for months of rent, they left the house in terrible condition,' the source said.

"At the time, the imposing three-story property was owned by Sweetgreen CEO and co-founder Jonathan Neman.

"The source added, 'They were totally disrespectful of Jonathan and [his wife] Leora's property.

" 'Melissa was rude and entitled. They destroyed the stereo equipment in the home and when someone came to fix it, they were uncooperative. They also left the place dirty.'

"The former owner allegedly could only shift the property after cleaning up the Bidens' mess and was left out of pocket when Hunter shorted him more than three months' rent, the insider claimed.

"Hunter, Melissa and  Beau then moved on to Malibu later that year. "  . . .

Bidenomics to the rescue

Biden is making it harder for America to get back to work (nypost.com)    "Economics is all about incentives. And if you incentivize people not to work, they will drop out of the labor force, and unemployment will rise.

"Friday’s employment report is a stark dramatization of how the Biden Administration — with its grandiose designs to turn the US economy into a European-style welfare state — is providing all the wrong incentives. There’s a workforce on the verge of significant growth, if only the government would get out of its way.

"Despite vast swaths of the economy reopening from the COVID shutdowns, and small businesses complaining they can’t find help, unemployment perversely rose to 6.1 percent in April. Hiring oddly slowed — only 266,000 jobs added to the economy, which is about 750,000 less than what was expected. The reasons for all these mixed signals are varied, but the primary source of the problem is extended unemployment, with hundreds of extra dollars tacked on to regular benefits. Wittingly or not, the administration is begging Americans to live on the dole instead of going back to work.

"The president, of course, doesn’t see the logic that paying people to stay home means more people will do just that. But then again, he also doesn’t see the logic that being fully vaccinated and wearing a mask outdoors as he often does makes people think twice about taking the COVID vaccine. Responding to the weak employment report, Biden said the economy is on “the right track . . . My laser focus is on growing the nation’s economy and creating jobs.” Translation: He and his cronies think they now have a decent talking point to ram through a Congress with slim Democratic majorities another $4 trillion in spending on top of the $1.9 trillion he just finished putting into the economy. " . . .

Guy currently destroying nation says Trump wants to destroy nation – HotAir    "I don’t know what they’re putting in Joe Biden’s Wheaties this week, but he seemed to have a bit more pep in his step than usual during a trip to Manhattan last night. He even managed to make it through some (obviously prepared) comments on stage without too much trouble. The event was a fundraiser for him, of course, with tickets at the theater ranging from $250 to $7,500, and plenty of Broadway stars turned out to support him. So what was Uncle Joe’s pitch to get people to support his flailing reelection bid? Since he has virtually nothing to point to in his own record, he fell back on his favorite golden oldie. He told the audience that Donald Trump is still lurking out there and he is “determined to destroy the nation.” That’s rather rich, coming from the guy who is currently in the process of doing just that. (Associated Press)" . . .

. . ."But what is that “democracy” that Joe Biden keeps promising to “fight for” and what does it look like? Does he mean the democracy where a leader’s political opponents are pursued by the so-called Justice Department and even threatened with prison time? Is it the democracy where family members of the most powerful in the preferred political class can thwart our system of justice and receive favorable treatment where others would find their doors being kicked in by armed FBI agents while their children were eating breakfast? Does he mean that democracy?"
