Jen Psaki cleaned up on Aisle 5 the following day. By lying, of course.
In other words, ignore what the old man said . . . we ain’t sending in our military if China decides to pull a Russia and invade Taiwan.
So Biden will always admit mistakes when he’s wrong, huh? In Jeopardy! parlance, I’ll take “Afghanistan withdrawal” for $500.
On August 31, Biden didn’t admit mistakes around the fall of Kabul, which happened far earlier than predicted by U.S. intelligence and his military advisers. Instead, he blamed the Afghan army, the same one he bragged about being so fully trained and ready just one month prior. And, as this administration loves to do, Biden also blamed Trump for forcing him to pull out of Afghanistan.
In fact, Biden signed more executive orders than Trump, Obama, or Bush in his first one hundred days. Yet we’re supposed to believe that Biden had to abide by a deal his hated predecessor made?
Biden, as he has done so often throughout his relatively young presidency, turned his back and walked away without answering a single one.
We have a president who will turn eighty this year, and a vice president who may only be in her fifties but consistently dumps incoherent word salad on the world stage when without the aid of a teleprompter. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who is in her eighties, increasingly acts and says things that are profoundly odd.
Complaining about the liberal media is one of the mainstays of pragmatic, commonsense punditry. With such a varied selection of imbeciles, lickspittles, and brownnosers to choose from, who could blame us?
One thing’s for sure: You’d have to be a fool not to see how skewed the news is now.
The bias is clear even to the least informed voter who hasn’t lost their common sense.
And there wasn’t the unintentional comedy that is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to make us laugh and cringe simultaneously. Most of all, there was no Fox News or MSNBC, just a responsible, sane version of CNN.
When 2020 came, they simply were not going to allow his reelection to happen. His opponent could have been anybody. Didn’t matter. Trump had to be stopped. The only problem was that not many bothered to explore exactly who would be replacing Trump. There was just no interest by most of the media in investigating Joe Biden’s checkered past.
The amazing thing about this lead was that Biden was running for the highest office in the land by essentially pleading the Fifth.
Press conferences were few and far between for Joe Biden. Just one in April 2020 via video, and one in person in Delaware in July. In that time, Trump was front and center on most days taking questions primarily on coronavirus for sixty, ninety, 120 minutes. Reporters would get multiple follow-ups. Very few questions were easy. Contrast that with Biden on the rare times when he did take questions, when most of the queries thrown his way were questions about Trump. There’s no easier question for any candidate to field than those that ask to define one’s opponent.
Joe Biden has been and is . . . constantly tested? By whom? A doctor? What’s the doctor’s name? What were the results of the tests?
The more voters saw of Biden, the less confident they would become in his ability to do the job. Months later when he was front and center on weekdays as the forty-sixth president, his poll numbers dropped, especially on leadership and competence and having the mental sharpness to do the job.
How did so many outlets, including the New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN, among others, all get the story wrong? Why, almost like clockwork, do these “mistakes” go in one direction against conservatives or Republicans?
Because maybe, just maybe, these “reporters” see and hear what they want to see. If they’re fed unverifiable information from a questionable source, their eyes get bigger than their stomach and they swallow the information whole. In an age when getting it first trumps getting it right, this is what happens.
When you look back on the way violent crime and riots and looting and the chaos in general were covered in 2020, it’s hard to overstate just how partisanly many in our media conducted themselves. It was (and still is) several flavors of stupid.
When all was said and done, the Kenosha area had suffered $50 million in damage.
Mostly peaceful riots. It’s like saying that serial killers are “mostly peaceful.” Just think of all the potential victims they don’t murder, after all.
The Kyle Rittenhouse trial and his exoneration were also an example of bias in broad daylight. Even before the jury in his murder trial returned a verdict, Rittenhouse was guilty, according to Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). “Lock up Kyle Rittenhouse and throw away the key,” he wrote on November 10, 2021.
The judge wisely banned the network from the courtroom for the remainder of the trial.
As for the teenage defendant Rittenhouse, he was portrayed to be a white supremacist, per then–presidential candidate Joe Biden: “There’s no other way to put it: the President of the United States refused to disavow white supremacists on the debate stage last night,” Biden tweeted with a video montage that included Rittenhouse.
When the verdict came down on November 19, 2021, anyone watching the trial objectively knew that Rittenhouse would likely be found not guilty. Video showed he clearl...

Hmmm . . . what’s missing from those headlines? Perhaps the word allegedly in automatically connecting Trump walking to a nearby church as the reason tear gas was used? “He tear-gassed peaceful protesters and fired rubber bullets. For a photo,” Biden tweeted on June 1, 2020. “For our children, for the very soul of our country, we must defeat him.” It turns out that this, too, was complete horseshit.
Sixteen cities set homicide records in 2021. Democrats saw the mostly peaceful riots of 2020 as an opportunity to gain points with far-left voters by supporting those protests because it was an election year. Now they want to say they’re tough on crime. Good luck with that.
If we’re following along correctly, going to church was a public health threat, and keeping your small business open was a public health threat, and sending your kid to school was a public health threat. But thousands gathering and chanting in close proximity to each other was fine as long as the cause and protest were approved.
Attending sporting events outside? Superspreader event. Trump rally? Superspreader event. Sturgis biker rally in South Dakota? Superspreader event! Black Lives Matter protest? That’s fine. Biden victory celebration? That’s fine. Thousands of COVID-positive migrants illegally entering the country and being released into the general population? That’s fine.
In the end, words matter, especially when discussing “mostly peaceful protests.”
I’d go B. Which would really anger Time magazine, which says the term rioter is racist.
Because they’re being targeted like never before, with the first three months of 2022 showing a 43 percent increase in the number of police officers being shot in the line of duty compared to 2021, which was a horrible year on this front. This obviously is beyond unacceptable.
To put into perspective just how big the entertainment industry was in 1998, 57 million people watched the Oscars on one network, ABC, that year. Let’s put that number in perspective: 34 million watched Joe Biden’s inaugural address in January 2021 . . . on seventeen networks.
The factors are clear: The country is infinitely more divided, to the point that entertainment is comprised almost entirely of elite progressives while common cultural touchstones have been eliminated.
If Trump doesn’t run, we’re already seeing Ron DeSantis being presented as the guy who may be worse than Trump. And Hitler, of course.
Joe Biden, by a country mile, has provided these folks enough material to last a lifetime.
How utterly reckless and ridiculous does this sound now? No wall. No borders. And millions have entered the country illegally under Joe Biden after he sent a verbal Evite to the world to drop everything and come on over for a permanent vacation, stretching our resources to a breaking point and in the process taking jobs away from those here legally.
Kimmel also said that night that we as a country need to “have a positive, considerate conversation, not as liberals or conservatives, as Americans.” Here’s what this clown said six months later to CBS News: “I want everyone with a television to watch the show, but if they’re so turned off by my opinion on health care and gun violence then . . . [raises his hand and waves good-bye]. I don’t know, I probably wouldn’t want to have a conversation with them anyway.”
It’s fascinating that Kimmel, who has called Trump a racist hundreds of times on his show, thinks it is LOL funny to mock an immigrant’s accent.
It should also be noted that Melania speaks five languages. Five. Yup. She’s the dumb one, right, Jimmy?
