“Standing With Ukraine” while supporting Biden, Fauci, Pelosi, China, Soros & Co. in their destruction of freedom makes you a loathsome hypocrite.
***********
Former White House physician Ronny Jackson, who served in the role under the Obama and Trump administrations, said on Friday that Democrat President Joe Biden needed to immediately resign to spare putting the country through more suffering because Biden is not mentally fit to be president.
“Biden doesn’t know what’s going on with Ukraine,” Jackson tweeted. “He doesn’t know what’s going on with ANYTHING! He’s not cognitively capable of leading. He needs to RESIGN before our country suffers any more.”
We’re screwed with or without Biden. The Democratic Communists are an occupation, openly hostile to the U.S. Constitution, individual rights and economic freedom. We have to get rid of all of them, not just Biden.
I am astonished and impressed. I watch Joe Biden like you watch a rare bird at the zoo. If I don’t throw peanuts at him to find out how he eats, it’s only because he is too far away. It’s only fair to admit it. He’s the best at what he does — let’s face it! No matter how hard you search through the history of the most incompetent people to ever populate the White House, you won’t find anyone remotely close. It’s him. He is a walking accomplishment. A prodigy of science. He is number one. The best. Biden is the best at being a complete idiot.
Some idiots shine in situations of maximum tension and end up betraying their own incompetence; they get things right out of fear. Some are so stupid that sometimes, by mistake, they do something right when they wanted to do it wrong. But Biden goes beyond that. Biden is 100 percent high-class ineptitude. Biden is the only one capable of being wrong every time, every day, in everything.
Not that I had any doubts about it. I have always bet heavily on Biden being unfit for the presidency, and even less so as a leader of the West. But that doesn’t stop me from being amazed at his ability to take even more steps in the wrong direction. First, he doesn’t know anything. Then he misdiagnoses the problem every time. Then he studies the three worst ways to solve it, guaranteeing that none of them will end well. But then, at the height of his prowess, he has a knack for choosing the worst of them. Always the worst. He’s a genius. Don’t think it’s that simple. It also takes a certain talent to be that dumb.
He proved it to us again this week. Good. You have a problem with oil. You’ve got a problem that’s increased with the war in Ukraine, but you had it before. I mean, even before the war, you were trying really hard to deal with it really badly. Remember, Joe? Green energy and all that mumbo jumbo. The taxes you love so much. The cancellation of your own smart energy projects. Ruining industries and impoverishing workers. You had already done all that badly. But now, you have decided to make it all the more worse: you have gone to kneel, to ask for help, to the most disgusting (and also the most idiotic) dictator that you had within reach. You have gone to Nicolás Maduro to give wings to the murderous Venezuelan regime, to boost the morale of its tyrants, and to offer it a way out of its isolation with the West. To let him laugh at the United States, which is the country he hates the most in the world, and also the country he insults the most. You have given that orangutan the greatest joy of his life.
All, in the end, for a handful of oil that you may not even need any time soon. You’re the most useless guy to ever enter the White House, Joe, useless to the point of exoticism. I mean, I’m fascinated by your interplanetary stupidity. Science should analyze what’s left of your brain because analyzing your soul is something we couldn’t do without maximum protection suits against the most contagious and lethal viruses. You are a case apart, the greatest discovery of science, perhaps, the missing link.
Maduro is a despicable dictator who mistreats his people and finances the most corrosive and lethal ideas against freedom around the world. He is a great enemy of the United States and all that it stands for. Sending a delegation to canoodle with him is disrespectful to your people and to all the allies the Chavista regime attacks every chance it gets.
Yes, you have an oil problem and you want to isolate violent Putin. Okay. But to get close to Maduro is like looking for the gas leak by lighting yourself with a damn lighted match, Joe. Haven’t any of your advisors suggested that you shouldn’t be so miserable? Haven’t any of your friends told you that if you embrace Maduro, you’ll never sit at his table again? I don’t know, Joe, change your advisers and change your friends, or change your drug dealer. Maduro can recommend several.

When historians gathered at the White House shortly after President Biden’s inauguration, they discussed what makes a presidency consequential. Biden reportedly told one historian in attendance, “I’m no FDR, but…”
On this, Biden is right: He is no Franklin Delano Roosevelt, nor is he any of the other presidents to whom he has delusional hopes of being compared to, such as Lyndon Johnson or Abraham Lincoln. After just one year of complete Democrat rule, there is no denying that the average American is far worse off under the Biden administration.
Biden’s desire for a consequential presidency has meant disastrous consequences for American families. The economic harm from his policies has been particularly devastating. For too many American families, rising costs for gas and groceries have shrunk household budgets. Consumer prices reached a 40-year high in January, while workers’ wages failed to keep up. A University of Pennsylvania Wharton School analysis found Americans paid $3,500 more in 2021 as a result of runaway inflation, and currently, Americans are shelling out an estimated additional $276 per month for basic goods and services. Skyrocketing inflation hurts the middle and working classes the most, as they are least able to withstand rising prices.
Consequently, Biden’s economic ratings are now worse than President Jimmy Carter‘s. How’s that for a historical comparison?
While Biden’s destructive policies drive inflation and higher prices, his corrosive political agenda is costing many Americans their jobs. The Democrats‘ vaccine mandates have forced small businesses to fire employees while making many first responders and frontline workers choose between their medical freedom and providing for their families. Biden’s attempted federal vaccine mandate put nearly 45 million jobs at risk and many small businesses in a position of losing employees at a time when so many are struggling to find workers.
Biden and his bosses (since he’s a puppet) seem to think they can turn him into a Trumanesque figure by making him come across as mean. I think he really is mean, a corrupt shell of where an actual human soul might have been. But regardless: mean is not strong. Biden is not Truman. Even Republicans could respect Harry Truman for making the toughest decision ever to save the world from tyranny. Biden is a tyrant, but he’s such a pitiful, petty and ultimately unimportant one.
When I look at him, I don’t see a true existential threat. I see a train wreck of a country, the irredeemably stupid, ignorant people who put him in power along with the corrupt cabal of legalized mobsters in office and media who prop him up. It’s truly heartbreaking. Our country is filled with untold millions of great minds, character and talents — individuals whose lives and potentiality may be wiped out forever if we permit these nasty charlatans like Biden to keep doing what they’re doing.
“Biden cursing out [Peter] Doocy is just the latest example of his ‘terrible temper’,” says a Fox News story. No, it’s not just a temper. That’s an excuse. Biden’s outburst reflects the psychology of someone who has never been questioned about anything, and feels entitled not to be questioned, ever.
It’s the same mentality of any tyrant.
It won’t hurt Biden with his supporters. They are tyrants too. To them, Biden’s response makes total intuitive sense.
The New York Times reports that Biden is going to forestall Russian aggression against Ukraine by deploying between 1,000 and 5,000 US troops on Russia’s border and is prepared to increase the number of troops tenfold to 10,000 to 50,000 soldiers. A Russian army would eat this small number for a snack in 5 minutes. Clearly the purpose of the deployment is not military. The purpose is to heighten the “Russian threat” in the minds of the people in advance of a false flag event that will be blamed on the Kremlin.
If Biden wants to deter Russia all he needs to do is to give Russia the security guarantee she says she needs. Why does Biden want Russia to be insecure?
The cause of the problem is obvious. In 2014 the US in an attempt to deprive Russia of her Black Sea naval base overthrew a Russian-friendly and democratically elected Ukrainian government and installed a neo-Nazi regime that began war against the Russian inhabitants of the Donbass region of Eastern Ukraine, formerly parts of Russia that had been transferred during the Soviet era into the the Soviet Union’s Ukrainian province.
To stabilize the situation, Russia hammered out the Minsk Agreement but neither Ukraine nor the Western signatories kept the agreement.
Russia does not want the broke and troublesome Ukraine. Russia just wants Ukraine not to become a place for US missile bases.
It is a simple demand easy to accept in the interest of peace.
But peace is unprofitable and is the last thing the US military/security complex wants. Therefore Washington is responding to the Russian/US/NATO security talks by deploying troops on Russia’s borders. The stupid British are stirring the pot of “Russian aggression” by withdrawing the embassy staff from Kiev. https://www.rt.com/russia/546916-uk-begins-evacuation-diplomats/
We have been hearing from US/NATO about the “growing Russian threat” for a long time. What happens to credibility that is already damaged if there is no Russian invasion? It seems that Washington and its NATO puppets are so far out on the limb that they simply must provoke a Russian invasion.
The Russians are waiting in vain for Washington’s written response to their proposal for mutual security. Washington has answered with more accusations, more provocations.
Is the Kremlin having difficulty understanding: (1) that Trump was removed from office because he said he wanted to normalize relations with Russia, (2) that Russia is the necessary enemy for the power and profit of the US military/security complex, and (3) Russia is regarded as the obstacle to US hegemony? How can it be that in the face of all evidence to the contrary the Kremlin has the delusion that Washington is interested in Russians feeling secure.
While the Kremlin wastes time, weapons pour into Ukraine and the Western media prepare their people for “Russian aggression.” Russian protests of intentions attributed to her are pointless. The Western media knows the required narrative and is not interested in any facts.
The question really is whether Russia can accept that she has an enemy.

If the left believed that draping the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, around the neck of former President Donald Trump and the party that refused to repudiate him would sink the GOP, it appears to have miscalculated.
For, as the left painted the Capitol riot as an “armed insurrection,” “domestic terrorism,” “attempted coup,” and political atrocity that stands beside Pearl Harbor and 9/11 as “a day that will live in infamy,” Republicans were displacing the Democrats as America’s first party.
Democrats began 2021 as the preferred party of 49% of the country. Only 40% identified as Republicans.
When 2022 began, the standings had been reversed.
Forty-two percent of Americans identified as Democrats, and 47% as Republicans, a turnaround of 14 points.
While President Joe Biden began 2021 with an approval rating in the mid-50s, he ended the year with an approval rating in the low 40s. One national poll showed Biden’s approval rating sinking to 33%.
On Wednesday, a Politico/Morning Consult survey came out that showed that 37% of Americans awarded Biden a grade of “F” for his first year, with another 12% giving him a “D.” School kids with grades like that risk being held back a year or expelled.
On his handling of the issues of immigration and restoring national unity, 40% of Americans flunked Biden. On the economy, 38% gave him an “F.”
Also, in that Politico survey, 68% of respondents said America is on the “wrong track,” more than twice the number who believe she is heading in the “right direction.”
In this same survey, Biden’s overall approval stands at 40%.
What is the message that the totality of these numbers conveys?
Democrat and media obsession with Jan. 6, their vast exaggeration of what happened, and the campaign to indict the GOP as a mortal threat to “American democracy” has failed as a strategy. And Biden’s presidency is seen by the people he leads as a failing presidency.
If the election of 2022 were held next Tuesday, Democrats would be swept from power in both houses of Congress, and a Republican Congress would face a lame-duck President Joe Biden for the next two years.
And it is hard to see any deus ex machina waiting in the wings to prevent what is coming: gridlocked U.S. government from 2023 to 2025.
Indeed, when one considers the political situation one year after Biden’s inauguration and 10 months before the 2022 elections, how Biden turns things around for himself, his presidency and his party is not easy to see.
The foremost issue in the public mind is the economy, inflation in particular. The consumer price index has been surging at 7%. But for the Federal Reserve to put on the brakes to control inflation could mean a major hit in the stock market, which was robust in Biden’s first year.
If Biden is fighting stagflation by the fourth quarter of calendar year 2022 — as Jimmy Carter was in 1980 — Democratic candidates will be avoiding him the way Stacey Abrams shunned him on his visit to Atlanta.
A second issue on which Biden is racking up failing grades in the public’s mind is immigration, which means the southern border across which some 2 million illegal immigrants from more than 100 countries poured in 2021. Biden has conceded that he has no chance of dealing with the crisis legislatively because of GOP opposition in Congress.
And his unhappy progressive allies would not permit Biden to employ the means necessary to halt the invasion of the country whose borders he has sworn to protect and defend.
Another issue gaining traction is the explosion of flash mob robberies and shootings and killings in Democratic-run cities, coupled with the perception that progressives are soft on criminals and tough on cops.
Saturday, a week ago, Michelle Alyssa Go, a 40-year-old New Yorker, was shoved to her death in front of a subway train at Times Square station by a “homeless” person.
Atrocities like this are now almost daily fare, and the stories and video are moving public opinion back to the law-and-order attitudes that worked so well for the Republican Party in the Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan eras.
As for the coronavirus, the Biden administration neither anticipated nor prepared for the delta and omicron variants. And no one knows where we will be next November — hopefully, in a better place.
As of now, Biden is a drag on the Democratic Party at the national level, and very probably in the off-year election in November.
What began his slide in public approval last August was a foreign policy debacle, the perception of a bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan.
And how Biden handles the Ukraine crisis ginned up by Russian President Vladimir Putin may come to be seen as a reflection of his mastery of foreign policy, or his ineptitude.
Ukraine could be determinant in history’s judgment of Biden’s presidency.
Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Nixon’s White House Wars: The Battles That Made and Broke a President and Divided America Forever.”
Try to imagine a President doing a worse job than Joe Biden. Think about how that would even be possible. Would they have to set the White House on fire while vomiting on Boris Johnson? Maybe a President in a Nyquil-induced stupor trying to start a nuclear war with Canada? Jimmy Carter on his worst day couldn’t hold a candle Joe Biden on his best, provided Biden ends up having a best day.
Remember this one: “I’m gonna ask the public for 100 days to mask, just 100 days to mask. Not forever, 100 days. And I think we’ll see a significant reduction if we occur that, if, if, if, if that occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down the numbers considerably, considerably”? That was Joe Biden 1 year ago Friday, part of his “plan” he swore he had to “shutdown the virus.” How’d that work out again?
Has there ever been a bigger disconnect between what a candidate for President promised and what they delivered? It’s not even that Biden tried and failed, it’s that the entire premise of his campaign was a lie. He had no plan, he had no clue. All he had was an objective and handlers determined to get him there, for their own reasons.
It’s unclear to me that Joe Biden ever wanted anything more than the trappings that go with being President of the United States – the house, the being waited on hand and foot, and most importantly to a career politician with wild insecurity and unrivaled narcissism like Joe, the guarantee of being remembered. Senators are forgotten, quickly, Presidents are remembered forever. Someone who loves themselves as much as Joe does, who desperately needs others to love him just as much, that matters.
There’s also the added bonus that former Democratic Party Presidents are showered with money after their term, often times by the industries they pretended to “fight” when they were running. And Joe Biden loves money. He made a bunch after his stint as Vice President on the prospect that he would run in 2020 (leftists hedge their bets and spread their money around). That’s, of course, in addition to the millions his family raked in through Hunter’s string of jobs and contracts for which he was wildly unqualified. Joe pretends he isn’t, but he’s all about the money.
But to get to the rewards of being a former Democrat President, those Presidents tend to want to accomplish some things; they usually believe in things. Joe Biden believes in nothing. His biggest, and really only accomplishment in the Senate was the 1994 crime bill and he had to denounce it because Democrats had gone from being against crime and supporting police to supporting criminals and wanting to defund police.
On abortion, Biden changed his tune completely as well. There isn’t a person serving his administration, either in the White House or the media, who won’t insist Joe labored between running for President or becoming Pope, such a devout Catholic is he. And in his time in the Senate he used to pretend to be personally against abortion, but refused to allow his religious beliefs to dictate his policy positions. It was and is BS, but many politicians play this game (looking at you, Nancy Pelosi).
Now, he’s no longer pretending. The party of “safe, legal, and rare” abortions is now the party of abortions for everyone, on demand, with no restrictions on when. It won’t be long, maybe 5 years, before they start advocating post-birth abortions, taxpayer funded, of course. That’s where Democrats are now, so that’s where Joe Biden is now. Biden is such a weathervane on everything, and always has been, that he’d perform abortions in the White House if that’s what the fringe of his party demanded.
With no moral code, no center, nothing matters. You just read what’s in the teleprompter and hit the sack by 7:00 while your degenerate son collects piles of cash for the family until you’re free to do it on your own. All you have to do is what you’re told, your handlers and the media will take care of the rest.
That Joe Biden hasn’t come close to fulfilling any campaign promises, or even that those promises were made, is a testament to what he was willing to do to get the job. Just imagine what he’s willing to do to keep it. Even scarier, just imagine how much worse things have the potential of getting as he works to do just that.
The emperor has no brain. Or mind. Or soul. Or charisma, gravitas. Or skill. Or grasp of human nature. Or talent. Or military ability. Or diplomatic, or economic, ability. Or past achievements, in business or even politics. He is (they say) the President of the United States — the greatest republic and civilization in all of human history. Yet he has NO redeeming qualities, no virtues, no assets, no talents OF ANY KIND. Nothing.
