Hot Takes: Biden's White House Address
Was an Unmitigated Disaster

Original Article

As is obvious to everyone who watched it, President Joe Biden's impromptu address to the nation Thursday night was an unmitigated disaster. He was late (as usual), immediately lied about what Special Counsel Robert Hur's report found, exhibited memory issues, indignantly responded to press questions, looked like a deer in headlights when the cacophony of press questions got a little loud, and confused Egypt and Mexico when answering a question about Gaza.The only people disagreeing with this so far is CNN's Van Jones,

These are scary times when you think about Biden not being mentally there and when you think of who is running the show (the govt.) these past 3 plus years. The scandal is who is behind the curtain ala The Wizard of Oz and who is responsible for the disaster of the Biden Administration. It's not Kamala.

Joey Baby is a walking Bernie Lomax. We've had four years with Bernie Lomax. Can it get worse? Yes. Edith Wilson continues to trot out Bernie, day after day, weeks after weeks. Can you imagine four more years of this Lomax? I can, and it's a horrible vision.

"Unmitigated disaster?" How about a dumpster fire? I think this was an intentional move by Brandon's handlers to feed him to the sharks.

This is one disaster that is going to continue, Dems will find it hard to spin the obvious, though they will try! Biden will not leave this alone and he is foolish to think the report exonerates him, while it may in one respect as far as charges, but it dumps a huge pile on him in other respects. He should have been charged, no excuses, but the catastrophic bulls eye it hits with his mental decline is right on. and from his own Justice Dept! He would have never been convicted of anything due to the doc theft anyway, but this hurts just as much if not more, and he is too stupid to realize it, judging from the clip of his gloating. MAGA

There are a couple ways to play this, the right way and the political way. If we had a functioning and respectable dem party, the right way to deal with this would be to gather congressional leadership and deliver an bilateral ultimatum to Biden, resign or face certain impeachment. Since we do no have such a dem party, the Republicans should start a drumbeat of calling for resignation and shaming Biden and the dems. They should DESTROY them in the election. Yes, an impeachment process would be the proper approach to protect the country but the dems would never let a 2/3 vote pass to impeach. It would be dragged out for months. A constant drumbeat for resignation over something the media has FINALLY been forced to admit, Joe's unfitness for office, would be irrefutable. Kamala in the warm up circle would be a disaster for dems. Would she then try to run for President? How could the dems push her aside? Per Napoleon, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.". Dems put themselves in this position when they supported a failing Biden in 2020 to stave off a Bernie Sanders primary win. They cemented their insanity with Kamala as VP. They let these idiots destroy the economy and break the border. ALL this needs to be placed, gift wrapped, at the feet of the dem party and broadly declared by Republicans as a catastrophic failure of leadership by the dems, NOT just a problem with Biden. Biden was in cognitive decline when he ran in 2020. It was hidden, by dems, from the public, in collusion with the media. Dems and their media OWN this mess, ALL of it. Dems are not a responsible choice for running the government. THAT should be the message until the elections.

To be fair to Quid Pro Joe both Egypt and Mexico have pyramids. And mummies. Whenever something like this happens the press and others overreact. Still remember Slick Willie waving his finger at the camera and saying he did not have sex with that or this woman. Old Yeller's handlers will handle the Cigar Store Injun. Like the ground hog he will only be allowed to stick his head out of his hole one day a year and for only 10 minutes during which he will blame 6 more weeks of winter on Trump. Once we were told banks were too big to fail and now Ole Joe is too old to do time.

Napoleon Bonaparte is reputed to have originated the expression, “Never interfere with the enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself.” It’s to be hoped that, when it comes to the Democrats and their reckoning with Biden’s profoundly diminished brain power, Republicans heed this advice. In 2020, when Biden ran for office, conservatives warned that (a) he was a deep well of corruption, kind of like an unplumbed cesspool; (b) he was never the brightest bulb in the box, to begin with; (c) he was showing early signs, if not of clinical dementia, but at least of age-related diminished capacity; and (d) that he seemed to be in

Glassbrook Elementary is located in Hayward, California which is south of Oakland on the east side of the San Francisco Bay. The school has just under 500 students and lately it has been struggling with falling test scores. But that didn't stop the school from signing a $250,000, three-year contract with a company called "Woke Kindergarden" which, as the name suggests, provides training to teachers (but not to students in this case) on how to fight white supremacy. One teacher at the school, whose name is Tiger Craven-Neeley, felt the expense wasn't justified under the circumstances. Funding for the Woke Kindergarten program came from federal money which was intended

Islamabad — Independent candidates affiliated with jailed Pakistani political leader Imran Khan’s party won the most National Assembly seats in Pakistan’s general election, delivering a surprise victory in a vote marred by a slow count and rigging allegations. According to the Election Commission of Pakistan, independent candidates won 98 seats so far, with 22 seats still unclaimed. The majority of the independents are affiliated with Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz party (PMLN), headed by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, which had been favored to sweep the polls, has so far won the second-most seats with 69. The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has the third-most with 51 seats.

Republicans on up to former President Donald Trump have for three years now been making credible cases alleging the Biden administration at the highest levels has been using the FBI and the Dept. of Justice as political weapons to use against a potential general election opponent. A new story that dropped Friday night detailing Biden's growing frustrations with Attorney General Merrick Garland after the release of the Hur report lent more credence to those allegations, with sources stating Biden had privately been "grumbling" to those close to him about the fact that Garland didn't "move sooner" on the Trump election interference investigation - because maybe by this point

The special counsel report which cleared Biden legally has become a loose grenade for his campaign politically. Now everyone is talking about the one thing the Biden campaign didn't want them talking about: Biden's age and mental fitness.

In a 122-page motion filed Friday night, Roman’s attorney wrote that Wade’s former law partner, Terrence Bradley, will soon testify that the pair’s relationship started before Willis appointed Wade to the state case involving former president Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants, or before she even became district attorney.

President Joe Biden held a press conference on Thursday night to do damage control over special counsel Robert Hur’s report over Biden’s handling of classified documents. However, the presser was such a disaster that it unquestionably caused more damage than it controlled. It was a public relations nightmare for Biden, who came off as angry, bitter, confused, uninformed, and incompetent. Had it been former President Donald Trump instead of Biden who spoke last night, Democrats would claim he’s unfit for office. But Democrats don’t hold Biden to the same standards they held Trump. Biden can spread misinformation, be ineffective, sow the seeds of discord, cause division, and fuel

It's long past time for Congress to act to investigate the arguable incapacitation of the president. For the past three years, Americans knew what Democrats refused to admit -- that Joe Biden had entered a cognitive decline that rendered him unfit for office. Democrats and the media insisted that Biden still had energy and vigor, even while every public appearance added evidence to the contrary. Voters had to rely on their own eyes to reach their conclusions that Biden's aphasiac mumbling, stiffness, and repeatedly false recollections indicated that Biden was clearly unfit for office. In poll after poll, majorities of respondents complain that Biden is too old

Joe Biden, senior aides and political observers strongly criticised the special counsel, Robert Hur, for extensively discussing the president’s age and allegedly fading memory in his report on Biden’s retention of classified information from his time as a senator and as vice-president – which did not produce an indictment. Hur, who Donald Trump appointed US attorney for Maryland, “could not refrain from investigative excess”, said Bob Bauer, Biden’s personal counsel. Though this was “perhaps unsurprising given the intense pressures of the current political environment”, Bauer added, the final report “flouts Department [of Justice] regulations and norms”.

More than two dozen confidential witnesses against former president Donald Trump face “significant and immediate risks of threats, intimidation, and harassment” if their identities become public, federal prosecutors have told a judge. In response, U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon in West Palm Beach, Florida put a hold on Friday’s previously scheduled public release of a trove of documents. Cannon has given Trump's attorneys until Feb. 23 to respond, meaning the documents likely won't be released earlier. At issue is evidence prosecutors turned over to defense attorneys in the case over Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida after leaving the White House.

Israel's neighbors and key mediators warned Saturday of disaster and repercussions if its military launches a ground invasion in Gaza's southern city of Rafah, where Israel says remaining Hamas strongholds are located — along with over half the besieged territory's population. [SNIP] The announcement set off panic. More than half of Gaza's 2.3 million people are packed into Rafah, which borders Egypt. Many fled there after following Israeli evacuation orders that now cover two-thirds of the territory following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that sparked the war. It's not clear where they could go next. Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said any Israeli ground offensive on Rafah would have "disastrous consequences."
