Joe Biden: ‘I Give You My Word as a Biden’ Say What?

“I give you my word as a Biden: If you make under $400,000 a year, I’ll never raise your taxes one cent.

But, I’m going to make those at the top start to pay their share in taxes.

It’s only fair.”

Joe Biden September 26, 2021 Tweet

This tweet is patently false, the world’s largest bureaucracy, aka the federal government, can’t survive without ever increasing taxes and inevitably every president feels compelled to raise taxes.

According to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation, every taxpayer in every income bracket will see a tax increase by 2023.

But today’s essay isn’t about Biden’s tax policies; I take issue with the first words of his tweet: I give you my word as a Biden.

I take every president’s words with a grain of salt, just like you can count on taxes going up every year, you can count on a politician lying as a matter of course.

I’m not comparing Joe Biden to Donald Trump, the short-fingered vulgarian took lying to an extreme level, unusual even in the realm of politics.

No president should preface his remarks with the words, “I give you my word,” that expression just serves as a warning that bullshit is about to ensue.

Biden would be well-advised never to utter the words, “I give you my word as a Biden”, It’s not as if the surname “Biden” is renowned for truth telling.

The only president who could attach his surname to a promise to be truthful was Honest Abe, every other politician is hardly Lincolnesque when it comes to telling the truth.

Biden is a hundredfold improvement over the lying peace of excrement Trump, but please Joe never preface a bold lie with the words, “I give you my word”.

Joe Biden, 78, Has No Business Riding a Bike

President Joe Biden often rides a bicycle for exercise, and he takes proper security and safety precautions: he always wears a bike helmet and Secret Service agents always ride with him.

I commend Biden for exercising on a regular basis, but he would be well-advised to trade in his 10-speed bicycle for a stationery exercise bike.

A frail-looking 78-year-old man who falls down three times walking up the steps of Air Force One has no business riding a bike that’s not equipped with training wheels.

I’m not Catholic but whenever I see the president riding a bike, I lament that I don’t have any rosary beads to clutch and that I don’t know the words to “Hail Mary.”

Let’s get real, if your 78-year-old grandpop rode a bicycle, you’d be worried sick, even if he had a Kevlar bike helmet, knee pads, safety goggles and a medical alert device.

We don’t expect a septuagenarian president to be in tip-top physical condition, and Biden shouldn’t risk physical injury by riding a bike for show.

Pizza Delivery Driver Shoots Woman Dead Because She Had Biden Yard Sign

“A pizza delivery driver allegedly shot dead a lawyer and wounded her husband because they voted for US President Joe Biden. 

Joseph Angel Alvarez, 38, claimed he attacked Georgette and Daniel Kauffman after seeing a Biden flag on their property in El Paso, Texas.

Alvarez reportedly told investigators he targeted the couple in a bid to ‘execute and exterminate the pro-choice Jewish Satan worshippers’. “

Metro

Republicans in general and evangelicals in particular demonize Joe Biden, they paint the devout Catholic and moderate Democrat as a Satan-worshipping Communist.

Most white evangelicals believe in the QAnon conspiracy theory that Democrats, celebrities and other elites belong to a Satanic cabal that’s imprisoned thousands of children in caves and underground bunkers, and that one day their Orange Messiah will free the children and imprison their pedophile overlords.

When the pizza delivery driver saw the Biden flag on the property of the Jewish couple, he immediately put two and two together and deduced that the Biden-loving couple, both lawyers, were pro-abortion, Satan worshippers deserving of execution.

Religious Jews believe Satan represents the sinful impulse, the force that prevents human beings from seeking the divine. It’s Christians who regard Satan as a real person, a fallen angel who is constantly seeking to tempt believers into doing evil and forsaking the Almighty. It’s much more likely that Christians, who believe the devil is a real person, who might end up worshipping him, rather than Jews who believe Satan represents our evil impulses.

Fundamentalists who see everything in black and white often see red and react violently to anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their Neanderthal beliefs.

What a world? Do I need to remove my “Black Lives Matter” sign on my front yard and my Biden bumper sticker from my car on my driveway before I order a pizza?

Gold Star Families Aren’t the Only Ones Sick of Hearing Joe Biden Grieve Over Beau Biden

In 1972 a 29-year-old Joe Biden was elected as the junior senator from Delaware. A few weeks after the election, Biden’s wife Neilia and one-year-old daughter Naomi were killed in an automobile accident. Their sons Beau and Hunter survived the accident.

Biden’s political career was christened in personal tragedy, and in his decades of service in the Senate and during his two terms as Obama’s Vice President, he often used his personal grief to empathize with victims of gun violence, terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

In August 2015, Biden’s favorite son, Beau Biden died from an aggressive type of brain cancer. Joe Biden was devastated and he used his son’s untimely death as an excuse not to run for president in 2016.

The ruling class can afford to take a sabbatical when they lose a close family member, but the working class is usually back to work after only a couple of days of bereavement.

The consoler-in-chief was criticized by some of the families of the 13 fallen U.S. service members from the Kabul terror attack last month, for bringing up his grief over his late son Beau.

I agree with the Gold Star families, I empathize with a parent who loses a son or a daughter, but enough already with the Beau Biden sob stories. There is a time and a place for everything and the dignified transfer wasn’t the place for Biden to shed tears for Beau, that ceremony should have been all about the ultimate sacrifice of those 13 warriors.

Joe Biden is in danger of being seen as a maudlin geezer instead of as the empathizer-in-chief.

Joe Biden, For the Love of God Stop Quoting the Bible!

“Thursday’s suicide bombing at Kabul airport was the most deadly attack on American forces in Afghanistan since 2011. In remarks on the attack, President Biden honored the fallen soldiers by quoting the Hebrew Bible. The American military has been answering for a long time. ‘Here I am, Lord. Send me, ‘Biden said, in an allusion to Isaiah 6:8. ‘Each one of these women and men of our Armed Forces are the heirs of that tradition of sacrifice, of volunteering to go into harm’s way, to risk everything; not for glory, not for profit, but to defend what we love and the people we love.”

The Week

God damn any American politician, especially the president, when he invokes Scripture or the Almighty, thereby making a mockery of the cherished constitutional principle of separation of church and state.

Biden may be a faithful Catholic, but he’s no Old Testament scholar. The verse he quoted wasn’t a call to arms for the Israelites of old to defend their country from their many enemies, it was a prophet answering Jehovah’s call to warn his chosen people to obey his commandments.

America isn’t an exceptional country, every nation on Earth believes it is an exceptional, and Israel isn’t God’s chosen nation, blessed over every other country.

Politicians would be well-advised to leave the Almighty out of political and military matters. Biden may quote the Bible to justify his Afghan policy, but ISIS quotes the Koran to justify employing suicide bombers against on occupying power.

Have we learned nothing in centuries of written history? For the love of God, leave God out of politics!

Joe Biden and Donald Trump Are Too Damn Old to be President

Septuagenarian, soon to be an octogenarian, Joe Biden mocked 75-year-old Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Virginia.

Biden stopped mid-speech to drink from a glass of water. “Excuse me,” he said before putting the glass to his mouth using one hand in a none too subtle dig at Trump’s penchant for using his two tiny hands to hold a glass of water.

Biden’s schtick drew loud cheers from the crowd at the rally being held in Arlington, Virginia to support Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s gubernatorial campaign.

But Biden doesn’t deserve any cheers, it’s a notable achievement he didn’t raise the glass of water to his ear instead of his mouth.

Biden, 78, shouldn’t be president, the old geezer oozing white privilege and entitlement, refused to gracefully step aside and let younger qualified Democratic presidential candidates battle for the nomination.

Biden is a quantum leap improvement over Trump, but let’s face it, they’ve both lost more than a step. Biden’s mental acuity may be suspect, but at least he’s not a senile, corrupt, obscene, dictatorial, amoral piece of shit like Trump.

The law should be changed to prevent anyone who would be 65 or older on inauguration date from running for president.

Andrea Dick Ordered to Remove ‘Fuck Biden’ Signs or Face $250 Daily Fines

“A trial date has been set for a Roselle Park homeowner who has been cited over profanity-laced anti-President Joe Biden flags outside her residence.

The Willow Avenue property owner was issued a summons earlier this month over three of six flags that her daughter, Andrea Dick, has on display outside the home, including one that says “Fuck Biden” and another that shows former President Donald Trump raising middle fingers.”

NJ.Com

Donald Trump supporters tend to take on the demeanor and character of their orange messiah, consequently their arguments in support of him are generously sprinkled with obscenities. Their Trump merchandise and campaign posters often includes profanity, that’s just how they roll.

Trump followers, many of whom are evangelicals, have a tendency to be evangelical in the support of their Dear Leader. Eight months after the election many of these cult leaders still have Trump flags and signs on their front yards.

To put it mildly, Trump sycophants are annoying assholes, but the price of living in a democracy requires us to put up with them.

Joe Biden won. Trump lost. Trump cultists have a constitutional right to believe in conspiracy theories and to put up obscene signs on their property. Andrea Dick has a constitutional right to be a dick.

Dick’s signs are an affront to decency, common sense and civility, but they do serve a practical purpose: They demonstrate the stupidity, ignorance and fucked-up spirit of Trump devotees.

Word to Joe Biden: Latinos Hate Being Called ‘Latinx’

BIDEN: “It’s awful hard as well to get Latinx vaccinated… Why? They’re worried they’ll be vaccinated and deported.”

Joe Biden traveled to Raleigh as part of a nationwide campaign to boost vaccination rates before the July 4th holiday. His speech didn’t go well, it’s bad enough that he confused the Tuskegee Airmen with the African American victims of the infamous decades-long Tuskegee syphilis study, but then he referred to Latinos as “Latinx.”

Making such a transparent attempt to look “woke” isn’t going to dissuade his critics from referring to him as “Sleepy Joe.”

Urban Dictionary:

“A term being pushed by PC culture advocates, even though absolutely no one who is actually Latino uses it.

Apparently, it’s supposed to be “inclusive” of Latin American non binary people, even though most don’t care if you refer to them as Latino.

LatinX is a bullshit word made up by people who are not even Latino themselves.”

Spanish is a gendered language, get over it.”

The only ones I ever hear use “Latinx” are politicians, pundits and pendejos. I’m a Latino and I have never heard anyone in my family or any of my friends or acquaintances utter that ridiculous word.

Conservatives are always accusing progressives like me of advancing “cancel culture”, but the only thing I really want to cancel is the word “Latinx” from the lexicon.

Pray tell, why does Biden assume that every Latino is an undocumented person who isn’t vaccinated because he/she fears deportation. 

I’m a proud fully-vaccinated Latino who was born in the United States, who fears being called “Latinx” by wankers and pretentious idiots.

Kamala Harris Needs to Lose Her Nervous Cackle

Allow me to preface my remarks by stipulating that I’m a progressive whose first choice for president was Kamala Harris, unfortunately when it was my turn to vote in the Virginia primary she had already dropped out of the race.

Vice President Kamala Harris is one heartbeat away from becoming commander-in-chief, and you don’t have to be an expert at reading actuarial tables to recognize that the chances she’ll succeed the 78-year-old Joe Biden as president before 2024 are pretty good.

With that in mind, Harris needs to step up her game, immediately. Biden hasn’t done Harris any favors by appointing her as the administration’s go-to-person for stemming the flow of migration from Central America.

Harris has totally botched her role as the immigration czar. In an interview with Lester Holt, the NBC anchor asked her why she hadn’t yet visited the southern border.

“At some point, you know, we are going to the border,” Harris responded. “We’ve been to the border. So, this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border. We’ve been to the border. We’ve been to the border.”

Holt, to his credit, fact-checked her by stating: “You haven’t been to the border.”

“I, and I haven’t been to Europe,” Harris replied to Holt, with a nervous cackle.

What can we gleam from this ill-fated interview?

Harris needs to recognize the obvious: The situation on the border is a genuine crisis, and she needs to visit the damn border.

Harris needs to be better prepared for interviews, even with reporters who are predisposed to be friendly to the Biden administration.

Harris needs to lose the cackle, post-haste. It’s useful to break out in a cackle if you’re impersonating Hillary Clinton or if you’re auditioning to play the Wicked Witch of the East, otherwise cackling is a career killer.

The only role Harris is auditioning for is commander-in-chief, and a nervous cackle is ill-suited for that critical role.

Joe Biden is Fit to Serve and He’s Doing a Great Job

Biden’s dimensia is getting worsening. He is not fit.

Bad grammar, typos, and lack of punctuation are ubiquitous on social media platforms, and only an anal-retentive grammarian would throw a hissy fit if a tweet wasn’t a sterling example of the Queen’s English. However, I would ridicule anyone who misspelled dementia as “dimensia” in a tweet.

But this message didn’t appear on a tweet, it was the caption on a huge billboard that featured pictures of then presidential candidate Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris in October 2020.

If I made such a shocking spelling error on a freaking billboard, I would become a hermit and never again question anyone’s mental acuity.

Republicans didn’t gain any traction with their baseless accusations that Biden was suffering from dementia, and he won an electoral college and popular vote landslide.

Conservatives haven’t found a line of attack that works against Biden, and they’ve fallen back time and time again to claiming that he’s too mentally feeble to serve as commander-in-chief.

I’ll stipulate that Biden has lost a step or two, but he’s still a quantum leap improvement over Trump whose cognitive capability was as irredeemably impaired as his moral fitness for the presidency.

Only a quack would diagnose Biden with dementia, and only an idiot would claim that Biden’s demensia is worsening. Not only is Biden fit to serve, but he’s doing a great job.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden: A Love Story For the Ages

In spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, but spring’s elixir is so powerful that even an old man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love and romance.

President Joe Biden was photographed picking a dandelion for first lady Jill Biden, proof that love still blooms in the septuagenarian’s heart.

While the power couple walked across the Ellipse to board Marine One, the lover-in-chief stopped to puck the flower from the ground and hand it to his wife of four decades.

Middle-class Joe is in reality a millionaire and he can afford to shower his beloved spouse with diamond rings and gold earrings, but that dandelion was more precious than silver or gold in her eyes.

When they reached the helicopter, he placed his hand on her lower back, guiding her up the steps. Joe has lost a step or two and he has trouble climbing stairs, but his thoughts were focused on making sure that the love of his life made it up the ramp safely.

What a lovely vignette of their endless love, may the spring time of their love be eternal.

Shame on Joe Biden for Wearing a Mask to a Sparsely Attended Outdoor Event

“After walking to the podium in the black face covering, Biden took it off and said, ‘Starting today, if you’re fully vaccinated and you’re outdoors, you need — and not in a big crowd — you no longer need to wear a mask.’

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) unveiled updated guidelines on Tuesday detailing activities that vaccinated people can safely resume, including attending small outdoor gatherings without the need to wear a mask.”

CBS News

Moments after the CDC announced the updated guidelines relaxing rules for wearing masks for fully vaccinated people, President Joe Biden wore a face mask to a sparsely attended, outdoor press event at the White House, although he removed the mask when he reached the podium.

The president’s photo-op was designed to trumpet the eased mask restrictions for people, such as himself, who are fully vaccinated.

The small gathering on the North Lawn was precisely the type of event where, according to the CDC, vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask.

Talk about sending conflicting signals, the modeler-in-chief should have removed his damn mask before exiting the White House. By wearing the mask just for show, Biden undermined the guidance of the CDC and made a mockery of common sense.

For over a year I have practiced social distancing, avoided crowds and donned a mask whenever I entered a public building, but now that I’m fully vaccinated, I don’t wear a mask outdoors, and I wear one when I enter a public building only because it’s mandated in the state of Virginia, where I live.

About a third of adults in America are fully vaccinated and all the trends are pointing in the right direction, and we should no longer pretend like we are in the midst of a raging pandemic.

We need to incentivize the vaccine hesitant to get vaccinated by pointing out all the benefits of being vaccinated, and Biden’s theatrics of wearing a mask to a sparsely attended outdoor event isn’t helping one damn bit.

Willie Nelson Calls on Joe Biden to Dub 4/20 a National High Holiday

On 4/20, the unofficial holiday for marijuana lovers, Willie Nelson, the patron saint of cannabis, urged president Joe Biden to declare April 20 a high holy holiday.

Granted, Willie was probably high when he made that pronouncement, but then again, he’s high most of the time.

Willie has been promoting the benefits of the magical herb for decades, and America is finally coming around to his point of view. Polls show that most Americans favor legalizing weed, and recreational use of marijuana is now legal in 17 states.

I hope Biden, 78, takes the advice of his elder who’s 87, and comes out in favor of legalizing dope. On the federal level marijuana remains illegal, it’s high time for Congress to legalize the recreational use of pot.

Let’s heed the prophetic words of the Pontiff of Pot:

“I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?”

Amen! Amen!

Understandably, Joe Biden is in a Hurry to Enact His Agenda

Joe, Biden, 78, has lost a step or two physically and mentally, but it’s certainly not apparent by his breakneck pace in issuing executive orders, overseeing mammoth legislative victories and his tireless assault on the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden was dismissed as “Sleepy Joe” by Donald Trump, but the commander-in-chief has been a whirling dervish, not wasting any time in Trumpian “executive-time” tomfoolery or social media shenanigans.

Biden is just getting started, his $2 trillion (in reality more than $4 trillion) infrastructure proposal is the latest item on his agenda that he’s going to bring to fruition come hell, high water, or reconciliation.

Why is Biden in such a damn hurry?

Most of Biden’s supporters are in denial, and they refuse to accept the reality that the president’s mental acuity is in decline, but he has enough active brain cells left to know that he will be lucky if he survives his first term. That’s why he’s on a mission from God to get us much done as quickly as possible.

Thank goodness, that waiting in the wings is a young and vibrant vice president who is ready to take control, whether it’s in four days, four months or four years.

Biden also knows that recent political history indicates that Democrats will most likely lose control of the House in the midterm elections, and they will be lucky if they retain control of the Senate.

You go Joe, you have our blessing to burn yourself out in service to our country.

There is Zero Chance in Hell Joe Biden, 78, Will Run for Reelection

During President Joe Biden’s first press conference Nancy Cordes of CBS News asked him: “Have you decided whether you are going to run for reelection in 2024?” “The answer is yes,”, he responded. “My plan is to run for reelection. That’s my expectation.”

You don’t have to be an insurance agent with actuarial tables at the ready to be cognizant that the odds aren’t very promising that a 78-year-old frail looking man in the most stressful job in the world will survive a four-year term.

The expectation of political analysts, insurance agents and bloggers is that there’s no way in hell Biden will run for reelection in 2024, if he’s still alive.

When you’re a septuagenarian on the cusp of becoming an octogenarian, it takes a lot of optimism to fill out a monthly planner, let alone make career plans for four years into the future. For Biden taking things one day at a time isn’t a platitude, it’s his strategy for surviving his golden years.

Biden could have deflected the question by saying: I’m too busy trying to rescue the economy and defeating the coronavirus pandemic to worry about my future plans. Ask me again in a couple of years.

Or he could have told the truth and admitted that at 78-years-old he’s already exceeded his expiration date, and that in 2024 he won’t have the energy to get up in the morning, let alone assume the burden of the presidency. But if he declared that he wasn’t running for reelection he would immediately become a lame duck, and all attention would shift to vice president Kamala Harris.

So, Biden told a transparent lie, to no pushback from the assembled reporters. Of course, we couldn’t expect the press to tell the president: Joe, you aren’t fooling anybody, we all have you as our top pick in our death pool.

But I’m not worried about Biden’s tenuous hold on life, a frail good-hearted competent politician is exponentially better than a raging out-of-control fascist racist. Not to mention, that standing in the wings, is Kamala Harris, the future of the Democratic Party.

Joe Biden Stumbles Once, Twice, Thrice on Steps of Air Force One. Should We be Worried?

When a child falls, he quickly dusts himself off and resumes whatever mischief led to his mishap. But when a septuagenarian, soon to be an octogenarian, falls everyone holds their breath, hoping and praying he hasn’t cracked his skull or broken his back.

President Joe Biden, while boarding Air Force One, lost his footing and fell three times in rapid succession. Biden desperately grabbed the railing, dropped to his knee, and willed himself to stand up again.

Biden experienced his senior moment walking up the ramp, imagine if he had tripped descending the stairs, forward momentum might have propelled him all the way down and all the president’s physicians and all the spin doctors wouldn’t have been able to put him together again.

White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president was doing fine following the incident.

I give Biden style points for quickly composing himself and snapping off a salute before entering Air Force One.

But this accident reminds us that Biden is 78-freaking-years-old, and that his expiration date might be sooner than 2024.

Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to install a chair-lift to the boarding ramp on Air Force One.

Jill and Joe Biden Have a Phone-free Dinner Date Every Night at the White House

Joe Biden is the President of the United States and Leader of the Free World, and as you can imagine his daily schedule is chock full of meetings with cabinet members, congressional leaders, foreign heads of states, and White House aides.

But Joe realizes that his relationship with his spouse, Dr Jill Biden, is more important than cultivating close ties with political allies and befriending foreign leaders.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief ends every day by having dinner with his wife. In an interview with Kelly Clarkson, Dr. Biden said that they have dinner together every night, with the phones turned off.

Jill Biden is almost as busy as her husband, besides her duties and responsibilities as first lady she also has a full-time job as a college English professor. If this uber-busy couple makes time to have a quiet dinner together every day, there is no reason why we can’t have a daily meal with our spouse or significant other.

Enjoy a meal with your loved one every day and remember three’s a crowd. That means leaving your smart phone in your purse or in a drawer.

Model the excellent behavior of the first couple.

The PDA’s Between Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden are Sweet and Heartwarming!

Donald and Melania Trump were infamous for their PDA’s (Public Displays of Animosity: the countless times Melania swatted away her husband’s disgusting tiny hands, the frozen stares between the couple, the several times Trump failed to cover Melania with his umbrella …

You don’t have to be a political scientist or a marriage counselor to discern that the Trump’s marriage isn’t a romantic fairy tale but a marriage of convenience. Sparks will rarely fly between a trophy wife and her doddering old husband.

Joe and Jill Biden are infamous for their PDA’s (Public Displays of Affection). Since Inauguration Day, the first couple hasn’t been shy about expressing the love they have for each other.

Joe Biden has been rightly criticized for being too handsy with the spouses and female children of politicians, but at least he’s also very affectionate with his wife of 43 years.

Whether it’s a tender kiss before boarding Marine One or holding hands as they walk their dogs, the love and affection between the Bidens is an expression of their sincere love and it’s a wonder to behold.

The PDA’s between President Biden and Dr. Biden aren’t ostentatious or gratuitous, but heartwarming. They don’t make us cringe, instead they make us smile at delightful display of an elderly couple still in love with each other.

I wish the Bidens a happy Valentine’s Day.

Jill Biden Decorates White House Lawn With Giant Hearts for Valentine’s Day

First lady Dr. Jill Biden decorated the North Lawn of the White House for Valentine’s Day with candy-heart sentiments as a message of hope and healing for Americans.

This simple gesture is a soothing balm for a country recuperating from the four years of Trump administration fuckery.

The Bidens and their two German shepherds, Champ and Major went for an unscheduled stroll to view Dr. Biden’s handiwork, with a pool of reporters and a C-SPAN crew in tow.

Dr. Jill was sensibly dressed for the frigid weather in a long raspberry coat and black boots, and Joe was wearing a black leather jacket and faded jeans. A casually dressed couple, wearing face masks, walking their dogs is the shot of normal behavior that we so desperately need in these troubled times. The fact that this normal couple happens to be the First Couple gives us hope that we may just be able to return to normalcy after four years of chaos.

This heartwarming scene could never have occurred during the Trump administration, the disgraced president didn’t have any pets in the White House, and I doubt he kept any jeans in his closets.

In an interaction with the press the Bidens debated with each other over who loved each other the most. Can you imagine if the Trumps argued about who loved each other the most, the press would break out in laughter.

I’m going to have a terrific Valentine’s Day and a peaceful next four years in the knowledge that Joe and Jill Biden, and Champ and Major are in the White House.

Joe Biden is a Work Horse

“This decrepit old grifter works maybe five hours a day. We traded in a work horse, for someone that belonged out to pasture or sent to a glue factory a long time ago. Nothing says we threw in the towel better than this nauseating image, ‘the commander-in-chief’ can’t even stay awake.”

This is a description of an image that purports to be President Joe Biden asleep at his desk in the Oval Office, it was posted on Facebook and other social media platforms.

Here is a link to the doctored image:

https://archive.is/9WVsM

The photoshopped image was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. This image illustrates just how much work Facebook still needs to do to cleanse its platform from fake news, fake photos, and fake conspiracy theories.

Joe Biden has been working tirelessly since he assumed power to clean up the horseshit left behind by his lazy predecessor, and it would be understandable if he did take a nap in the Oval Office.

The description that accompanies the digitally manipulated image perfectly describes not Joe Biden, but Donald Trump. The disgraced president is a decrepit old grifter who worked maybe five hours a day on his scams when he wasn’t enjoying his executive time.

Joe Biden is the work horse and Trump is a one-trick pony who excels only in grifting. Biden’s work schedule is available online, and it chronicles how Biden is working day and night for the American people:

https://factba.se/biden/calendar

Speaking of nauseating images there are hundreds of nauseating photos of the morbidly obese Trump golfing when he should have been in the Oval Office managing the coronavirus pandemic and dealing with the economic collapse.

Let me end my essay by once again reminding my readers not to rely on social media for news and current events. Stick to reliable and legitimate news sources like CNN, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal.

Army Chaplain Maj. Andrew Calvert Calls Transgender Soldiers ‘Mentally Unfit’ to Serve. Ban Chaplains From the Military

On the same day President Joe Biden signed an executive order lifting a Trump-era ban on transgender people serving openly in the military, Texas Army chaplain Maj. Andrew Calvert stated in a Facebook post that transgender soldiers were “mentally unfit” and “unqualified to serve.”

Biden is the commander-in-chief and moral leader of the United States, and one of his first acts was to lift the ban on transgender citizens serving openly and proudly in the military.

Major Calvert is going against the express order of his commander-in-chief and he should immediately be relieved of his duties. America is a stronger democracy when discrimination against the LGTBQ community is illegal in civilian life and in the military, and Biden must demonstrate that he is serious about inclusivity in the military by summarily firing Calvert.

The bigotry of this army chaplain begs the question: Why are there even chaplains in the military? I believe in the separation of church and state and that includes separation of church and military.

Military chaplains aren’t allowed to carry weapons, rendering them totally useless in a war. We know the folly of bringing a knife to a gun fight, but what about the insanity of bringing a crucifix or a Bible to a war?

Joe Biden’s Dogs Champ and Major Arrive at the White House

You can almost always count on presidents to keep a dog in the White House, in fact, the only presidents who didn’t have presidential pets while in office were James K. Polk, Andrew Johnson and Donald Trump.

There is something rotten in Denmark when a president doesn’t have a pet while in office, is it any wonder that Johnson and Trump were both virulent racists who were impeached?

A White House without a dog, is like a bodega without a cat, a dairy farm without cows and a Firehouse without a Dalmatian.

President Joe Biden brought his two German shepherds, Major and Champ to his new residence, thereby going a long way to restoring normalcy to the White House.

Major is the first rescue dog to live in the White House and was adopted by the Bidens in 2018 after the couple fostered him from the Delaware Humane Association.

I’ve adopted three dogs from my local animal shelter, and the fact that Joe brought his pooches to the White House confirms in my mind that I made the right choice in voting for him. LOL, as if I really needed any affirmation that I did the right thing by kicking the racist Trump to the curb.

The Bidens have announced that they will soon be bringing a cat to the White House. How can Biden not be reelected when he has won the hearts of dog and cat lovers?

Joe Biden Redecorated Oval Office

When a new president moves into the White House, one of his first actions is to decorate the Oval Office in a way that the aesthetics reflect his views and passions.

It’s no surprise that Joe Biden, who appointed the most diverse and inclusive cabinet in history, ditched the portrait of former president Andrew Jackson, who was acknowledged by historians as the most racist president in history before Donald Trump assumed office.

The presidential office now features Abraham Lincoln who emancipated the slaves and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was president during the depths of the Great Depression and the horrors of World War II.

A bust of labor leader, community activist and Latino icon Cesar Chavez adorns the Oval Office, needless to say the immigrant-hating Trump doesn’t know Cesar Chavez from Cesar Romero from Little Caesars Pizza.

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, so it was no surprise that Trump’s Oval Office was festooned with American flags. The military flags displayed during the Trump presidency have been replaced by a solitary American flag.

Biden has included a moon rock, of all things, among the new decorations, as a reminder that we can accomplish the seemingly impossible, such as landing a man on the moon. A rock from Uranus would have been a perfect fit for Trump’s Oval Office.

The Oval Office is looking so much better, and so are the prospects for peace, racial equality and democracy during the Biden administration.

Epidemic of Mask-Slipping at Joe Biden’s Inauguration

In this article I’m not going to wax poetic about all the grand implications of Joe Biden’s inauguration. Permit me to take a break from all the weighty essays I wrote during the Trump regime denouncing his attacks on civility, common sense and democracy itself.

Today I’m writing about a disturbing trend I noticed while watching the inaugural festivities, an epidemic of mask slipping. I didn’t see a single person who wasn’t wearing a face covering, and social distancing was in full effect, but I witnessed dozens of men who allowed their mask to slip below their nose. This is a social faux pas that afflicts only men; the women in attendance may have exhibited cleavage and their shapely legs, but none of them exposed their nose in the midst of a raging pandemic.

Men whom I deeply admire like former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and the Chief Justice John Roberts made a mockery of coronavirus safety guidelines by proudly walking around with a face covering below their nose.

Let’s be real, that’s as disgusting, ridiculous and unhygienic as a man prancing about in his swimming trunks worn so low that his manhood is exposed, swinging in the breeze.

Leaving your nose uncovered defeats the purpose of wearing a mask. Period. End of story.

If your friend, acquaintance or co-worker was wearing a low-cut blouse and she was exposing her nipple, would you keep quiet or would you at least suggest she should look at herself in a mirror? If your buddy left the restroom with his willy hanging out, would you keep quiet, or would you tell him, “you freaking moron your dick is hanging out”? Rhetorical questions.

If you’re at a party or any social setting and you see a man with a mask pulled down so low that it only covers their mouth, would you keep quiet? I wouldn’t, I would call out the inconsiderate/oblivious offender.

Joe Biden Strikes a Tone of Optimism in His Last 2020 Interview

Joe and Jill Biden’s last interview of 2020 was virtual, not unusual in the midst of a pandemic, it was conducted on “Dick Clark’s New Year Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” I was awkward and unusual even in these days, for it’s not every day that jumbotrons in New York City’s Times Square are used for an interview.

Dick Clark has been dead for almost a decade, but he still commands top billing. If the morbidly obese Donald Trump is still alive a decade for now, I assume he will demand top billing and insist he be introduced as the President of the United States whenever he speaks at a campaign rally or political convention.

Unlike Trump the narcissist Biden didn’t exploit the conversation to toot his own horn, he used the opportunity to thank essential and frontline workers for their bravery, with the president-elect stressing: We owe them, we owe them, we owe them.

Biden ended the interview on an optimistic tone saying:

“I’m more optimistic about America’s chances than I’ve ever been. I am absolutely positive, confident, that we’re going to come back and come back stronger than we were before.”

I share Biden’s optimism; Trump will soon disappear from our rear-view mirror and peace and a sense of normalcy will be on the horizon.
