The Professionals

It’s such a good think our nation returned to seasoned, professional leadership in 2021:

Given the Orwellianism of modern Democrat politics, I’ll wait for the declaration that “Senility is intelligence!”.

  1. For all of his political career, Joe Biden has had the reputation of possessing neither intelligence nor judgment.
    And now he is in serious mental decline.
    Here is Slow Joe giving a speech at the dem convention ten years ago:
    https://youtu.be/MiGZzNEZmHY?t=1082
    Compare it to any of his recent prepared remarks. He slurs his speech, he stumbles over common phrases, he misnames people, countries, issues.
    This is a man incapable of leadership who has surrounded himself with incompetents. There is literally nothing that this administration does well.
    What normal human beings think are clear disasters — shutting down oil exploration and pipelines in the US, the bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, a pending spree which has led to the highest inflation in 4 decades — the Biden admin counts as successes.

  2. Pretend that you hate America as it exists today. Doesn’t matter why you hate it – maybe you believe Fly Over County is racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-intellectual and bitterly clinging to its guns and Bibles – but you have decided the nation cannot be saved. It must be destroyed so that a new nation can arise from the ashes, a nation in which people know their place, a nation in which the superior are properly recognized for their talents, a nation in which you and your class of far-sighted right-thinkers will rule over the lower classes, as you should.

    Now pretend that you’ve found yourself in a position to manipulate the levers of power in Washington. You aren’t the President sitting on the Rose Garden Throne, you’re the power behind the throne, the one who give orders in the President’s name because he’s too senile to know the difference. You’ve got your team of similarly-minded people appointed to the top jobs in the agencies.
    You control the power to implement your dream of taking down America so you can Build Back Better – but how do you do it?

    You need to impoverish Americans so they stop being capable of independent action and start being dependent on government handouts and therefore subject to the strings attached to the handouts.

    You need to create conditions that frighten Americans so they plead for you to accept more power over their lives to save them from the conditions you created.

    You need to disarm Americans so they can’t resist your agenda.

    It’s all a fantasy, of course. There is no class of Ivy League graduates in Washington who believe they’re so much smarter than the rest of us, that they’re entitled to rule over the few of us who survive – them as Lords and us as Servants. It’s fiction, and bad fiction at that.

    But if it were true, how would their actions be any different?

  3. The Politico story on Hunter Biden’s illegal gun purchase in 2018:
    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/25/sources-secret-service-inserted-itself-into-case-of-hunter-bidens-gun-477879

    Almost every detail is worse than you can imagine. Hunter buys a hand gun, lying on the transaction form about his drug use. Hunter’s Mistress, who is also his brother’s widow, is concerned that Hunter might use the gun to kill himself, so she gets it out of hos truck (!!), takes it to a grocery store across from a high school, and throws it in a trash can. When she tells Hunter what she has done, he makes her go back to the store and retrieve it from the trash can, but it is gone.
    Some days later, a pair of secret service agents show up at the shop where Hunter bought the gun and demand all records of the sale. The gun shop owner refuses to do this, and instead contacts the ATF and tells them what has happened.

    Best quote from the article?
    At one point, two of Janssen’s employees, described by the police report as “Mexican males,” walked past the loading dock area, and Hunter told a police officer that the store had some suspicious people working for it. Asked if he was referring to those two staffers, Hunter responded, “Yea, prolly illegal,” according to the report.

  4. One of the things I enjoy most about SiTD is that every take, no matter how ridiculous, must be aired publicly.

  5. ^ And here you are. Virtually every day. Airing your take. No matter how ridiculous.

  6. Presidentish Biden, President Trump on line 2, said something about what did you do to the energy independence I created for America? By drilling (who said you can’t drill your way out of it?)

  7. Coincidences, JD. And how many? I mean, a few? 10? 50? Then they’re just anecdotal and no conclusions can be drawn. That’s Science, right?

  8. There’s an article in the Washington compost about why gas prices are high. Its just a blurb on the portal site that loads when I open my browser, so I haven’t read it, might be behind a paywall anyway. But gosh, I wonder what they blame as the causes? I wish we could have a pool, but somebody might have read it already. I wonder if gropey joe even gets mentioned. Doubt it.

  9. This is just pitiful “Biden to visit Saudi Arabia, a country he vowed to treat as a ‘pariah'”
    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-visit-saudi-arabia-country-vowed-treat-pariah-rcna31750

    Remember when Saudi head man Prince Mohammed bin Salman had a foreign “journalist,” Jamal Khashoggi, hacked to bits at the Saudi’s Turkish embassy back in 2018? Trump shrugged it off in a “they don’t call them shit hole countries for no reason” sort of way. On the campaign trip Biden promised that because of the murder he would treat Saudi Arabia as a pariah state.
    Now he is headed off to Saudi Arabia to beg Salman to open the taps on his oil wells.
    This is a big f’n deal. The ME that is not Israel is split into team Saud and Team Iran. Trump was Team Saud. Biden, and Obama before him, were on Team Iran.
    Well, well, well. What a slap to the Iranians to have an official meeting between Biden and Salman — with Biden going to Israel as well.
    Biden is utterly incompetent. There is a youtube video out there from 2020 with all the best journalists explaining how candidate Joe Biden was a foreign policy wonk, a genius on the subject, compared to clumsy Trump with his America First foreign policy.
    And here is Biden being controlled by events, not controlling them.
    We have a long, long, 2.5 years ahead of us.

  10. Woolly = It’s all Biden’s fault!!!

    OK, then how, precisely? Specifically?

    The. President. Doesn’t. Set. The. Gas. Prices.

    Pipelines. Don’t. Make. More. Oil. They just move it around.

    Seriously woolly—do better.

    By shutting down US oil oil exploration and pipeline projects. By fostering a trillion dollar plus spending plan. By BIDEN’S bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan. By pledging to reopen the southern border to illegal immigrants.
    These are all in the comments I have written that MBerg has published on SITD.
    You are a very stupid person, Emery.

    The. President’s. Policies. Affect. The. Gas. Prices.
