Overthrowing Joe Biden

“…Nineteen months into his first term as president, Joe Biden appears to be the lamest of lame ducks. The rapidity and completeness of his political collapse is unprecedented in my long life as an observer of such things, and possibly in our history. It’s as if the death scene that wrapped up an elaborate plot happened 15 minutes into the movie. What on earth can we expect for next two hours? Similarly, with Biden disappearing into a tar pit of irrelevance, the next two-plus years until the 2024 presidential election present an uncertain and inscrutable aspect.

The array of disasters accumulated by Biden in less than two years is impressive: defeat and humiliation in Afghanistan; the outbreak of war in Europe; spiking inflation and energy costs; a sputtering economy; a resurgent pandemic; supply chain disruptions of essential goods like baby formula. The response to each crisis has followed a recurring pattern. Ignorance and denial come first. A few comic pratfalls later, the rhetoric turns to panicked scapegoating. The essential duty of government, which is fixing the situation, gets skipped altogether.

Such impotence is, in large part, a function of the astounding levels of unreality and policy incoherence that afflict decision-making in the administration. I defy anyone to explain how Biden believes U.S. interests are engaged in the Ukraine-Russia war, or what he thinks about the not-inconsequential matter of energy extraction and supply.

A sullen public has judged the president’s performance and found it wanting. According to one poll, a remarkable 71 percent say that he should not run for a second term. In the same poll, an equally remarkable 62 percent think that “Biden is too old to be President.” Biden’s popularity ranges between 36 and 41 percent—but he has been plummeting for months and has yet to touch bottom. He is perceived as a leader who does nothing well: His “approval on management of issues is weak across the board,” proclaims a recent Harvard/Harris poll. Adding horror to injury, Donald Trump, arch-fiend to the Democratic faithful, handily defeats Biden in many matchup polls (see here and here).

The numbers are devastating and almost certainly fatal. Furthermore, they reflect, in my opinion, a just assessment of President Biden. He was, in his prime, an empty suit, a hanger-on whose chief ambition for decades had been to cling to the top of the pyramid—and he is today diminished by the usual ravages of age. This means that, unlike Reagan or Truman, he can’t tap into some iron principle or a defiant character to save himself from catastrophe. Never much of a political force, Biden is now done.

He is himself dimly aware of his premature burial. Like many persons of a certain age confronted with a circumstance they can’t quite comprehend, he has responded with fits of anger. Articles in Politico and NBC News portray a president railing at White House staff for correcting his misstatements, at prominent Democrats for presuming to test the waters as 2024 presidential hopefuls and at the general public for saddling him with those humiliating opinion polls. He has blasted the Supreme Court for what he called its “outrageous behavior” and mocked reporters for asking uncomfortable questions (“You sound like a Republican”).

At times he resembles a new-age version of broken old King Lear, forsaken in the heath, screaming imprecations at the storm. Here is Biden on the Fourth of July, a day usually reserved for inspirational bromides timed before millions of hamburgers hit the grill: “Liberty is under assault, assault both here and abroad. In recent days, there has been reason to think this country is moving backwards, that freedom has been reduced, that rights we assumed were protected are no longer.”

Of course, this is Washington, D.C., not Shakespearean tragedy. The protagonist never really goes mad or dies—but there will be talk of firing his staff…”

You wonder why trust in media is at an all time low? This is why.

We All Must Act to Rescue Earth From Climate Change

This would be another Democrat money grab to be spent on preferred constituents. There would be no measurable performance criteria, no oversight, just virtue signaling to the woke cultists who believe this garbage and knowing winks from lefty businessmen who will donate back to Democrat causes a certain percentage of the taxpayer gains.

When I read stuff like this, for some reason, the following photograph always comes to mind. These folks have some bare wires floating around in their noggins and every now and then the wires touch:

I am inclined to think that folks like this should not be directing national policy on anything, let alone efforts to geoengineer climate.

From the “you can’t make it up” file, a real doozy of left on left queer-crazy in Portland

Lesbian bar shuts down one week after opening because they weren’t woke enough

“…Doc Marie’s is a lesbian bar that opened on July 1st of this year with the hope of bringing more inclusivity to the city of Portland. But just one week after their grand opening they were forced to shut down because of complaints that the bar was not a “safe space.” Similar to the story I wrote a few weeks ago about the queer-owned cafe in Philadelphia that was shut down by employees for not being woke enough, Doc Marie’s was cannibalized by the woke mob.

The crowd on opening day was huge. One woman said that the line for entry on opening night was “wrapped around the block” with “literally 200 lesbians” waiting to get in.

But the excitement about a new progressive hangout dissipated quickly. Within days, Doc Marie’s found itself on the receiving end of accusations of not being inclusive enough for trans people and people of color. Despite mask mandates being lifted in Portland, patrons accused the bar of not implementing enough COVID safety measures. Patrons also claimed that Doc Marie’s had “culturally appropriative art” on the walls…

…Employees of Doc Marie’s created an Instagram page to echo these concerns. They claimed that the owners weren’t proactive enough in creating a safe space and accused the owners of racism. The employees also demanded that the bar host “free opportunities for education” for the community.

Eventually, the employees demanded the owners relinquish ownership of the bar and hand the business to them. The owners were given a “24-hour deadline” to adhere to the ludicrous demands.

Celebrity hypocrites go green in talk only. Green is for the little people, the poor.

The eco-hypocrite jet set: Stars such as Mark Wahlberg, Jay Z and Steven Spielberg lecture us about saving the planet… then use their private jets for flights that take just MINUTES instead of driving

    • Kim Kardashian flew the same controversial route as sister Kylie days before she was hit with a backlash
    • Famous faces seem to plump for luxury multimillion dollar jets made by Gulfstream and  Bombardier
    • Rapper Drake, beauty billionaire Kylie Jenner and her sister Kim have all nicknamed the jets after themselves

Kamala – Killing unborn children is freedom. Having a baby is slavery. These people are twisted, soul-sick. Killing unborn children has become the most important thing in their pathetic lives.

It’s worse than this. Check the message below. Democrats are determined to convince America’s children that men are women, or some other cockamamie nonsense. In so doing they will confuse and disturb a huge number of kids who may already be experiencing mental trouble. Leave children alone. Parents and doctors can handle individual cases. Hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution and learning jettisoned to further some twisted woke perception of sexuality out of touch with nature and reality.  Hard to believe, but watch:

This is who they are. Believe them. Vote them out of office.

Thomas Massie brings simple arithmetic and common sense to bear on Green Baloney. Un-engineered, poorly thought out green nonsense from Democrats and media will push our great country into a disaster.

Biden economic adviser: Of course we’re disincentivizing oil and gas production!

Biden Energy Advisor Makes Revealing Comments While Discussing Gas Prices on CNN

“…During his remarks, Hochstein said the White House does not want oil and gas companies embarking on new projects and that they are working to accelerate the current, extremely painful and unaffordable transition to alternative energy…”

The hard push now by Democrats and their media is because they see their grip on power slipping away. The 2022 midterms look bad as does the 2024 general election. Democrats think if they don’t force feed climate garbage now, they may not have another chance for years. 

The strong rule where they can; the weak accept it where they must.

A feckless American foreign policy’s legacy

“…One idea in particular is going to have to go. Following the Cold War, the American foreign-policy establishment embraced the tragically misguided belief that we could set aside traditional forms of great-power competition and balance-of-power diplomacy while focusing our efforts on “global issues” like human rights, climate change and the construction of an ever-stronger set of international institutions operating under an ever-more-pervasive system of international law.

That destructive consensus rested on two mistaken perceptions. The first was that America’s victory in the Cold War was final and America’s economic and military power plus our diplomatic prestige ensured our unchallengeable supremacy for decades.

The second was that the so-called rules-based world order we were using our power to build would be popular abroad and uncontroversial at home. The economic benefits of the free-market, free-trading world system were so great that no serious country abroad or political movement at home would be insane enough to challenge it. And the elegant international system was going to be so ethically beautiful and politically inspiring that countries all over the world would be irresistibly drawn into it.

The war in Afghanistan illustrates the feckless nature of two decades of American foreign policy…”

Paleo-Republicans and Uniparty-Republicans, I repeat myself, still buy into this nonsense. In international affairs a more base-level fact of Human relations governs:

The strong rule where they can; the weak accept it where they must.

Parents think school boards are ‘not putting students first.’ They’re right. The wacky left has captured our education system and destroyed it.
