Joe Biden, leader of the free world

 "So many inspiring speeches that could have been made even better if they were given in the unmistakable fashion of Joe Biden. It's too bad every president can't capture the same magic." Babylon Bee (below)


From the Babylon Bee: 10 Famous Presidential Quotes If All Presidents Spoke Like Joe Biden | Babylon Bee    "Have you ever noticed that Joe Biden has a funny way of speaking? From his endearing way of retelling events that never happened to his uncanny ability to make up new words on the spot, it's a fascinating testament to his abilities as a communicator. If only other presidents throughout history could do the same thing!

"The Babylon Bee is here to provide the following glimpse at what it would have been like if other presidents spoke like Joe Biden:

  • "Four score and seven… eight hundred… sixty-five million… billion million… years… anyway…": Honest Abe spitting numbers Joe Biden style is how it should be done.
  • "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this...uh, you know... the thing!": A truly powerful moment in history from Ronald Reagan.
  • "We choose to go to the moon not because it is easy but because my uncle was eaten by cannibals. True story, folks.": The space race was never the same after this gem from JFK." . . .


Joe Biden Comes to Town - Lauri B. Regan  "Here is a firsthand account of what it’s like when a senile leftist president invades and disrupts a small town."

If not senile, we must realize Biden has been a very unintelligent man, doing very unintelligent things his whole life. TD

The idiocy of youth; As demanded by our educated Antifa generation: A Hamas country next to Israel

 Khalil al-Hayya says Hamas will disarm if a deal is reached with Israel - The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com)


"Senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya said on Thursday in an interview with the Associated Press (AP) that the terrorist organization is ready to agree to a five-year ceasefire and to disarm itself if an independent Palestinian state is established within the pre-1967 borders.

"Al-Hayya is the Deputy Chairman of Hamas in Gaza.

"On Wednesday, al-Hayya told Al-Aksa TV that Hamas maintained its demand that a hostage deal would include a permanent ceasefire.




"To the AP, Al-Hayya added that Hamas is interested in receiving "a fully sovereign Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and the return of Palestinian refugees in accordance with international decisions."

" 'All the experiences of groups who fought against occupiers, when they became independent and got their rights and their country, what did these forces do? They became political parties, and their protective fighting forces became the national army," he added." . . .


“This is an openly anti-American movement, which is using Israel as the scapegoat” (legalinsurrection.com)

“Academia, particularly at the level of Columbia and the Ivy League, is completely broken. I don’t think it can be repaired internally. They have created over 20 to 30 years a unified monoculture which is hostile to western values, which is hostile to capitalism, and which exploits and singles out Israel as the object of their ire as a mobilizing tactic…. People need to understand that there is no internal opposition left.”

"There is a plus-side to the vile anti-Israel and antisemitic encampments at Columbia and several other universities – the anti-American side of the movement is on full display. As I’ve been saying for years, the racialized and radicalized campuses are a threat to our nation, now they have shown their hand for all to see.

"When they burn American flags, and when they chant for the destruction of the U.S., they are showing us who they really are." . . .

Anti-Israel protesters storm New York's Fashion Institute of Technology  "Dozens of anti-Israel activists stormed into New York's Fashion Institute of Technology today as anti-Israel protests rage on across university campuses in the United States.

. . .Speaking about the protesters, Mr. Levant said they are repeating "antisemitic mantras calling for the racial purging of all Jews. They have that phrase, 'from the river to the sea.'"

"They call for basically the extermination of the Jewish people in Israel. They call for the globalization of the intifada, which is an Arabic word for a violent pogrom," he said." . . .

Douglas Murray: Rage At Israel But Silence On Hostages? (youtube.com)

Editorial: When protest turns to hatred: There’s far too much antisemitism in the free Palestine movement...New York Daily News

. . ."Everyone is upset as anti-Israel students feel that their right to legitimate protest (a college tradition) is being impinged, while some Jews on campus are feeling afraid (a tremendous breach of the idea of university) and the professional Israel-haters out in the street raise their voices and the temperature under the protection of the police and the Constitution." . . .

The Best Thread Explaining Why Liberals Love Hamas - The Lid (lidblog.com)

Why aren’t the “protestors” demanding that the terrorist group Hamas release hostages and surrender? Literally none of them are calling for that. All the fury is aimed at Israel, none at the party that started the war with an act of mass slaughter and rape and that keeps it going with hostage-taking and human-shielding. Hamas has turned down every “ceasefire” offer. Why would pro-ceasefire activists support the side that refuses a ceasefire?

Why would a supposedly anti-war movement overtly support the side of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas, all of whom exist only to wage war? . . .


Perhaps this would be appropriate for a poster outside the university; or even outside the offices of Rep. Tlaib and the Squad. It's sad that we cannot say her name.

Why do so many work as tools for these Democrats?

Joe Biden slobbers over a little girl then wonders (out loud) ‘how many times’ Trump has to prove Biden and his buddies ‘can’t be trusted’ -Olivia Murray   "Joe Biden finally said what’s on all our minds, and posed this question before a little gaggle of ostensible supporters: “How many times does he [President Trump] have to prove we can’t be trusted?”

"It was just too perfect a Freudian slip, too embarrassing a gaffe; see below:

. . ." How about everything that ever came out of Adam Schiff’s mouth about Trump being a Russian asset? The “51 former intelligence officials” who declared the Hunter Biden “Laptop from Hell” Russian propaganda? The lies told by Obama’s deep-staters to the FISA courts to spy on Trump and his allies? Biden’s plagiarism that forced him to drop out of two presidential runs? In how many different circumstances has Beau Biden died? Joe “never” talked business with his son? Again, the silly pseudonyms and aliases from Joe would prove otherwise.

"They’re traitors. They’ve completely dissolved our border, begging third world welfare classes and hostile armies to invade; they also literally just waved Ukrainian flags in the “American” Congress after voting to send the corrupt nation another $61 billion. They tell us they’re coming to take our guns, and the Second Amendment doesn’t “exist” in their courtrooms." . . .

Lawyer up, Republicans - Don Surber (substack.com)  . . . “But this simple longstanding prohibition on sex discrimination has been manipulated by the Biden administration to both undermine constitutional freedoms—like the freedom of speech—and erase the very women that Title IX was enacted to protect.”

"Most of the attention to this unconstitutional legislation by a president — not Congress — has focused on turning over women’s sports to trannies and drag queens.

"But Biden’s Law — and hold him, not bureaucrats, responsible for this travesty of justice — also strips men accused of rape of their rights to due process and the presumption of innocence.

Adam Schiff’s (D-Calif.) office in 2019. Democrats accused Trump of attempting a quid pro quo with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in which Trump allegedly called upon Zelenskyy to investigate Joe Biden’s corruption in Ukraine in exchange for Trump not cutting off military aid. 

"According to Democrats, it was a corrupt effort to influence the 2020 election. The charges were so weak that Democrats faced accusations of politicizing impeachment, but with control of both the House and Senate, it was the last chance to impeach him before the election. So they did." . . .

NYT Claims Trump Is Getting 'Favorable Treatment' from the NYPD (townhall.com). . .“We endorsed you in 2016.

Today on behalf of the 12,000 law enforcement people that the Police Officers Association of Michigan represents, we want you to accept our endorsement for president of the United States.”

"Since April, Trump has been “supported by just about every law enforcement agency in the country; I think, maybe everyone,” according to the former president himself

 DA Bragg's Attorneys Make Fatal Error When Revealing Underlying Crime in 'Hush Money' Case - Trump Attorneys Must Move to Dismiss Now | The Gateway Pundit    "DA Bragg’s case is in serious trouble. The gang behind the prosecution of President Trump made a serious error that should lead President Trump’s team to move to dismiss.

Prosecutors in New York have revealed what the other crime is that Donald Trump was allegedly trying to conceal when he was falsifying business records and they claim it was to unlawfully promote his candidacy. The fatal error is that the NY Statute they cite only applies to elections within the State of New York and not Federal Elections!

Trump was running for the federal office of President of the United States and not a State Office and therefore the premise of what the prosecution is trying to prove as the second crime used to get around the statute of limitations issue and to elevate this business records case to a felony must fail!

Prosecutors also cannot use a federal law as the second crime and additionally, the FEC, Federal Election Commission, declined on two occasions to prosecute the claim against Trump that the alleged hush money payment was in fact a federal violation. . . .

Is Joe Biden a sitting duck? Biden should be more concerned than anyone about the precedent the Trump trials are setting - Monica Showalter   . . ."Here's the thing, though: Joe Biden would not be immune from such lawfare, not just from Republicans and all-red state governments, a few of which are out there, but from his own people.

"Because the ongoing narrative in the Democrat party these days are that Democrat voters should just hold their noses and vote for Joe Biden for re-election, because they'll find a way to get rid of the senile old dotard afterward. They want the White House now, though, to hold onto the seat of power.

"Were the move against Trump to succeed and Biden somehow got re-elected, the stage would be set for the next attack on a president, and Democrats are most likely to target Joe. They'll find and pin something on him, and after that take him out from the presidency. Biden is unpopular, even among Democrats, with few allies, and no enthusiasm among Democrat voters, all he has going for him is his adherence to the Democrat party line, and well, any Democrat could take his place.

"So the reports of plans to get rid of Joe next, taking Kamala Harris out first on some tax or campaign finance charge, and replacing her with someone more to the establishment's liking, and then taking out Joe politically is definitely something that could happen. That's if she is not involved, too, and don't bet on that. Harris herself has asked about the applicability of the 25th Amendment for removing an incapacitated president, so she, too, could be in on the palace coup among the blue party elites." . . .

Jewish Democrats, wake up!

 Jonathan Bronitsky - JNS.org 

Right-wing antisemites are kooks and grifters. Left-wing antisemites are college professors, newspaper editors, Hollywood stars, a growing number of Democratic members of Congress and quite a few Biden administration officials. They have immense cultural and political influence, and they are decisively shaping the future of America. 


"This is addressed to you, my fellow Jews, since most of you are Democrats.

"You’ve heard from liberal colleagues that Tucker Carlson (whose show you’ve never watched) has been flirting with antisemites. You’ve been told by liberal friends that Candace Owens (whose show you’ve never watched) has been picking fights with Ben Shapiro (whose show you’ve never watched). From CNN and MSNBC, you know that a pack of guys with citronella tiki torches marched through Charlottesville while shouting “Jews will not replace us.”

"And that’s why you’re convinced there are far more antisemites on the right than there are on the left.

"I wish to pose several questions:

"How many of the thousands of individuals who gathered in Times Square on Oct. 8, 2023 and chanted “resistance is justified” and “glory to our martyrs” are registered Republican voters and plan to cast their ballots for Donald Trump?

"How many of the individuals who barricaded Jewish students inside Cooper Union’s library on Oct. 25, 2023, pounded on the doors and carried signs that read “Zionism hands off our universities” are registered Republican voters and plan to cast their ballots for Donald Trump?

"How many of the thousands of individuals who rallied in Manhattan on Dec. 25, 2023 and carried banners emblazoned with the words “by any means necessary” and “resistance until return” are registered Republican voters and plan to cast their ballots for Donald Trump?

How many of the thousands of individuals who assembled at Columbia University on Feb. 2 and shouted “Globalize the intifada” and “Death to the Zionist state” are registered Republican voters and plan to cast their ballots for Donald Trump?

"How many of the individuals who amassed in Dearborn, Michigan on April 5 and yelled “death to America” and “death to Israel” are registered Republican voters and plan to cast their ballots for Donald Trump?" . . .

"The answer to every question posed above is “close to zero” if not “none.”

Comment to the above: "A stunningly effective piece by Mr Bronitsky. All American Jewish organizations should ne putting forth this message. But no, that's career suicide if your big don[o]rs are Democrats."

"This is the sound of civil rights being denied of a Jewish professor."

Terrorists delighted at campus student protests - Monica Showalter

That's Hamas, we are talking about, the monsters who floated in on gliders carrying weapons, murdered 1,200 Israelis including hundreds of young people dancing at a music festival, injured untold others, raped women, men, and children in a systemic bid to degrade and dehumanize Jews, held more than a hundred people, including Americans, hostage in torturous conditions, danced and paraded with the bodies of the desecrated dead, and vows to do it again.

Is everybody we see yelling on campus merely as intelligent as Greta Thunberg?

"Picture your ideal Republican candidate. Would they look something like this?

1. An "anchor baby" (technically, "illegal immigrant");

2. Parents were illegal aliens from Syria, who avoided being deported only because of their "American citizen" anchor baby, i.e. "the candidate";

3. Father indicted for firebombing a synagogue (charges dropped when co-conspirators refused to testify against him);

4. Supported Sen. Marco Rubio's amnesty;

5. Was thrilled that President George W. Bush gave a speech at a mosque on 9/11;

6. Constantly demands that Americans become entangled in foreign conflicts having nothing to do with our country;

7. Has been driven to a cursing rage at me for mentioning that immigrants commit a lot of crime.

"No? Well, that's Abe Hamadeh

, the Trump-endorsed candidate for Arizona's 8th congressional district. (I happen to notice Hamadeh because he's running against the excellent Blake Masters, who actually is the ideal Republican candidate.)

"Like many on-the-go immigrants, Hamadeh immediately abandoned all of his previous positions the moment he saw an advantage to doing so. What do I need to say to fool the rubes?

"He's the Alexander Vindman of the right, the Dinesh D'Souza of the Muslims, the immigrant credit card fraudster of electoral politics." . . .

Republicans need to get it together - Jay Davidson

The party is infighting like nothing I’ve ever seen.  Each faction is convinced that it is correct, and nobody can bridge the chasm.  Yet we citizens are vaguely united under the banner of constitutional control over government — which means more freedom for the individual.  Sadly, our petty differences are more important to each faction.  And the Blue Beast keeps winning.
 

I’ll See Your Charlottesville and Raise You Columbia

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

             How is Biden’s reaction not unmistakably worse than Trump’s?


"I think it’s time for a little trip down memory lane, don’t you?

"The date was August 14, 2017, and Donald Trump was holding a press conference a couple of days after a civil disturbance in Charlottesville, Virginia, had turned deadly.

"In Charlottesville, the local Hard Left-dominated city council had opted to defenestrate a historical landmark, that being a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee in a prominent place in town. A protest was planned and permitted for those critics of tearing the statue down to express their opinion, and attaching themselves to that protest was a group of alt-right agitators who held a tiki torch parade through Charlottesville the night before.

"Counterprotestors, including Antifa and Black Lives Matter agitators, then turned the demonstration over the Lee statue into a melee, and one of the alt-right “neo-Nazis” ended up running over a leftist demonstrator in a car.

"Charlottesville was thus elevated just below the status of 9/11 in the mainstream media lexicon, and Trump was battered for waiting two days before making a statement. Trump defended himself by saying he wanted to know and understand all the facts around Charlottesville before he weighed in.

"Then there was this exchange at the press conference:

"Trump: Okay, what about the alt-left that came charging at [indiscernible] – excuse me – what about the alt-left that came charging at the, as you say, the alt right? Do they have any semblance of guilt? What about this? What about the fact that they came charging – they came charging with clubs in their hands swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do. As far as I’m concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day. Wait a minute, I’m not finished. I’m not finished, fake news. That was a horrible day. I will tell you something. I watched those very closely, much more closely than you people watched it. And you had, you had a group on one side that was bad. And you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that, but I’ll say it right now. You had a group – you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit, and they were very, very violent." . . .

Why Isn't the MSM Talking About the Hostages?

 One assumes those chanting for Hamas everywhere are also those who tore down pictures of Hamas's hostages. You know; those people supporting Gazans who raped and mutilated young women after making their families watch or simply machine-gunning them to death. TD

David Strom – HotAir

One of the key ways the MSM shapes the narrative is by choosing what they cover and what they ignore, and they are assiduously ignoring anything related to Hamas' perfidy. We hear "Israel bad" all day, every day, and calls for a ceasefire, yet most Americans haven't a clue that Hamas is the party that keeps turning offers of a ceasefire down. 

 "If you only paid attention to the MSM coverage, you could be forgiven for not realizing that there are still American hostages being held by Hamas. 

"It's not that the fact is exactly hidden; rather, they are barely mentioned. It's almost as if the media considers them as unimportant as the Americans left behind in Afghanistan. Remember them? Few do, because the media dropped that story like a hot potato. 

"Perhaps if they were transgender, they would get a mention. But no, they are only Jews for the most part, and Jews are settler colonialists. 

. . ."They want to keep the hostages--the few they haven't killed, that is." 

"Biden doesn't want any focus on this issue because it makes him look bad, and the regime media is totally compliant."

"However much you hate and distrust the media, you still overestimate their integrity." 

Pro-Hamas protests show higher education has crossed the line (nypost.com)

 . . ."And at the University of Michigan, a business professor smirkingly posed for photos as he tore down posters with names and photos of people Hamas took hostage, while a Cornell diversity and inclusion officer came under fire for social-media posts celebrating the Hamas attack as “resistance.” . . .

Kids are Beginning to Pass on Ivy League Schools to Attend Colleges in the South

 Rick Moran – PJ Media  

"Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and the rest of the Ivy League have been floating along, dependent on a reputation that's more myth than reality. Why go to a stuffy school when you can live freely at Clemson or North Carolina State?"


"There's been an unprecedented movement by college-age kids away from Ivy League and other so-called elite schools toward schools in the South.

"It's no mystery. Several factors are at play in this migration, including a greater sense of freedom, great college sports teams, and warmer weather. The pandemic hastened the migration as southern schools had relaxed strict COVID restrictions long before the eastern schools got around to it.

"The Free Press reports, "Both Brown and Harvard saw dips in their application numbers this year—by 5 percent and 3 percent, respectively. (Early decisions to Harvard were down 17 percent.) And while applications to private colleges in mid-Atlantic (25.3 percent) and New England (29 percent) states have risen since 2019, the gains have been small compared to Southern colleges, which saw a 42 percent increase overall."

"Admittedly, a drop in applications is not a reason for Harvard to panic. They get 50,000+ applications a year and are still one of the most selective universities in the country." . . .

The Morning Briefing: Let the Protesters Stay Until Academia Burns to the Ground – Stephen Kruiser 

"We're not seeing something that came from the deep recesses of the collective college student consciousness. This has been simmering just below the surface for a very long time. Academic leftists are the cancer, the anti-Israel protests are the symptom."

 . . ."We're going to broaden the definition of "campus protesters" today. In yesterday's Briefing, I was mostly referring to the student mobs who have been making all of the anti-Israel noise and trouble on campuses all over America. We can't forget the adults in academia who are paid handsomely to indoctrinate the kids and saddle them with such crippling ignorance, however. What we're seeing is the product of decades of pumping impressionable minds full of, to borrow a leftist word, misinformation.

"Or lies, for those of us who don't always need to be polysyllabic. 

"This is from a post that Rick wrote yesterday

The most serious confrontations between police and protesters did not feature idealistic, earnest 19- and 20-year-olds, but rather 40- and 50-something faculty members who acted like a bunch of spoiled brats. 

“The faculty were — from what I personally observed, and spoke to lieutenants and captains out there — the most aggressive towards the police,” NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry told Fox 5. “They would not move, they would not let go.”

"The student mobs have been whipped into a frenzy by the alleged adults in the room. That's the real tragedy here."

Pro-Hamas protests show higher education has crossed the line (nypost.com)   . . ."With the horrific massacre, rapes and infant murders and kidnappings Hamas proudly perpetrated in Israel, much of the American academic community, especially at elite universities, sided with . . . Hamas." . . .

Dozens of Harvard student groups released a remarkably callous statement saying Israel’s government is “entirely responsible” for Hamas’ violence. 

When Accuracy in Media’s “doxxing truck” took to campus on Thursday,
 someone lashed out by crossing out HarvardHatesJews.com in spray paint. . . .

. . ."Sen. Marco Rubio summed up the objections: “For decades cowardly college administrators have enabled our universities to become nests of Anti-American/Anti-Western activism. This week student groups at our most ‘elite’ universities signed their names to proclamations siding with savages who murdered & mutilated babies and raped & desecrated the bodies of dead women. And across America college students” with “federal taxpayer subsidized” loans “celebrated the murder of Jews.”. . .

. . ."It’s almost amusing to see the shocked reaction of elite university students and administrators to the notion that people might object to their statements.

"In their insular worlds, endorsing murder, rape and torture isn’t objectionable so long as the perpetrators are deemed “oppressed.” It turns out others disagree.

"There may be a sea change in attitudes. 

"We’ve long known higher education breeds a lot of silly — and sometimes dangerous — ideas." . . . 

We say they will grow out of all this, but the professors didn't, did they? Jane Fonda didn't. TD

A Prosecution In Search of a Crime

  Power Line (powerlineblog.com)  "Donald Trump is undergoing a criminal trial in Manhattan. He is charged with filing corporate records that included a false statement; namely, that payments to Michael Cohen that were described as being for legal services were, in fact, to reimburse Cohen for making one or more payments to Stormy Daniels in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement. But those payments to Daniels were perfectly legal, and filing a false corporate document is a misdemeanor on which the statute of limitation has passed.

"So in order to charge Trump, District Attorney Alvin Bragg had to allege that the false documents were filed in order to cover up another crime. That would make it a felony. But what is that other crime? Bragg has been coy about it. In truth, there was no other crime, and Bragg’s prosecution is election interference on behalf of the Democratic Party, plain and simple.

"One would think that this case could not have gone to trial without a clear specification of that other crime and evidence in support of it. But that appears to be what has happened, courtesy of trial judge Juan Merchan, who is in on the scam.

"Byron York points out this classic of obfuscation from the prosecutor’s opening statement:
