Honoring the History of the Democrat Party, Biden Hangs Portraits of Slave Traders in Oval Office.

On Wednesday, AP photographers got a look at President 46's personal changes to the Oval Office shortly before he arrived at the White House to begin work. Right away they noticed that the portrait of populist President Andrew Jackson was gone, replaced by a portrait of notorious womanizer, Benjamin Franklin.

It was also noticed hanging above the Oval Office fireplace portraits of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, along with two participants in the Slave Trade, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. As of time of this posting, no word of outrage from Alyssa Milano, Black Lives Matter, the congressional Black Caucus or Don Lemon.

The Guy Who Once Sold His Own Driveway is Now Your President

We all have known someone like this.  They think they know a lot more than they really do.  And when they talk about how things work, it's with so much confidence that you figure there must be some genuine smarts behind it, but in actuality, they are just full of shit.

They manage somehow to stick around a long time, so it’s hard to imagine the person is completely clueless and inept.  But once you start really paying attention to the things they say, you begin to wonder.  What would happen if you put the person in charge of something challenging?

When Joe Biden was vice president, he wasn’t in charge of much of anything.  When he was in the U.S. Senate, he wasn’t in charge of much of anything either.  And he hasn’t had a job in the private sector in more than 50 years. To find out how Joe handles actual responsibility, we have to look a little deeper.

National Review's Kyle Smith reminded us recently that Joe Biden has already shown us what he’s made of.  Joe once thought he saw a huge real estate opportunity and displayed his managerial ineptitude on a grand scale.  It was a fixer-upper he thought he could buy cheap and make a few simple tweaks to. Kinda the way the Joe of today sees America.

As Smith recounts in lurid and often comical detail, this did not go well at all:

"A couple of years into his Senate career, Biden had a dream of living grandly by buying on the cheap a former du Pont manse, together with a huge chunk of land, for $200,000. The house was boarded up and soon, probably, to be torn down. But Biden saw something in it. Sure, it needed some fixing up. Never fear, Joe is here! Joe is a can-do fellow.

The first winter he and Jill spent in the house, it used up 3,000 gallons of fuel oil. It turned out the third floor was wide open, to the stars. Squirrels were living up there. Oops. The judgment on display here is not great. Next year, Biden starting selling off bits of the land for development to pay for improvements such as storm windows.

Small problem here: One of the lots he sold off was his own driveway, and the new owner blocked it off so he couldn’t pass through it. So Joe built a second driveway, which turned into a swamp in winter. He sold off another piece of property that, it turned out, included the front of that second driveway, so he couldn’t use that one anymore either. So I built a third. He hated that one for being a dumpy little thing. Eight years went by, and he made a deal to buy back the original driveway, the one he sold off when he first bought the house. Which cost him a fortune in landscaping to reshape."

It’s worth the time to click over and read the whole thing.

Now to be fair, this was a long time ago. You might say, OK, Joe has learned a thing or two since then, he’s more experienced now. He must have a better understanding of how things work than he did back then.  That’s a reasonable theory.

But Joe still runs around proposing insane ideas to problems he doesn’t understand.  Witness his “plan” to address COVID, which consists of  a) a bunch of things DJT has already instituted; and b) a mask mandate Joe would lack the authority to impose as president.  Sounds like the guy who bought that house back in the ’70s.

This is a guy who complains that “families are reeling” and notes how many people are on unemployment.  Yet he wants to confiscate more capital from the companies that could be hiring them.  Kind of like the guy who sold a piece of land to get money and found out he had sold his own driveway.

25,000 Politically Pure Armed Military Install the New President

North Korea is again making noise, Iran is testing missiles near US Navy Ships, and a caravan of illegals is headed for our border. The new administration fears it's own people. The World Smells Weakness.

An Obese Man Who Think They're a Woman Has No Business in The Nations Physical or Mental Health Policy

Joe Biden (?) just named the Pennsylvania Transgender Secretary of Health to be US Assistant Secretary for Health. No really.

"President-elect Joe Biden announced Tuesday that he will nominate Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania’s top health official, as his assistant secretary of health. Levine, a pediatrician, would become the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate."

If this was really Joe's idea or those who handle him, this is a hideous choice and one that can only be explained by the leftist subservience to two gods.  The first is the worship of the “first [fill in your racial/ethnic/sexual minority here]” to hold as certain post as if immutable characteristics such as genitalia or melanin (or variable ones such as mental instability) were, themselves, qualifications for office. The second is his utter obeisance to the cause of transgenderism.

Regardless of Levine’s desire to be something that he is manifestly not, that would be a woman, Levine’s character makes “her” unsuitable for confirmation and “she” should not be confirmed. Levine, while ordering Pennsylvania nursing homes to accept Wuhan patients, removed his own mother from a nursing home to keep her safe, cold-bloodedly condemning thousands of infirm and elderly Pennsylvanians to a preventable death.

In a sane nation, Levine would be indicted for manslaughter in Pennsylvania and not be in line to establish health policy for the nation. But then, in a sane nation Joe Biden would not be on the cusp of becoming president.

Squinty & Meat Puppet Rage Against the Machine!

Who are theses people and what did they do with Joe and Mika??

I'm confident that Joe and Mika shocked their hundreds of caffeine deprived soft skull viewers Monday morning by speaking the forbidden, defying the leftist narrative and peeing on the gun powder of the media all at the same time.

They came unglued and blamed social media platforms for their part in what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6, saying Facebook and Twitter played a bigger role in the planning than did Parler.  At one point Mika even went so far as blame them for further dividing the country as she screams at Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg. “You are pathetic! You need to be shutdown. Nobody needs what you have to offer. You have destroyed this country!”

After I watched this vid, I'm convinced the earth is slipping off it's axis and we will soon be spinning uncontrollably off into space...

CNN Proves Their Unparalleled Reporting Abilities Again.

In what's become more and more frequent for them online, CNN was forced to issue an embarrassing correction to a story Thursday that falsely claimed Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu of California valiantly “grabbed a crowbar” and took up a heroic defense position leading readers to believe that the congressman was bravely waiting to ward off those who breached the Capitol building.

Going as always for the coveted Pulitzer prize, the CNN reporters Jeremy Herb, Phil Mattingly, Lauren Fox and Manu Raju pieced together quite a timeline of the events of the incursion and Lieu’s role during the chaos.

Congressman Ted Lieu (D-Cal) & Constituent

The CNN correction clarified that Lieu was apparently never in any danger at all. It appears that while he never held a blunt defensive object, Lieu was never in any danger of starving.

"CORRECTION: A previous version of this story misstated that Rep. Ted Lieu grabbed a crowbar before leaving his office. He grabbed a ProBar energy bar."

In reality Lieu was no Charles Bronson after all. He and his chief of staff hunkered down in House Rep. Cicilline’s office in the Rayburn House Office Building, the CNN report said after the correction.  Apparently it was after grabbing the protein bar that Lieu, joined by Cicilline, promised Democrats would again impeach President Donald Trump.

The network was obliterated online by people who didn't give CNN's amateurish reporting any slack for apparently, on purpose or not, portraying Lieu as a heroic symbol of defiance to those who eventually breached the House chamber. Even some at the NYT took a shot:

.@CNN again proves their unparalleled journalistic abilities. At the end of this piece they let us know-

😆😆😆

Did someone dictate that story down the phone like in old movies? "Hold the front page! Now, take this down... Chewing nonchalantly on his pro-bar as he strolled- what? No that's PRO, P, R, O."

And here I thought @tedlieu was going the way of John Wick over there https://t.co/CglX059vE8

In regard to the ProBar Energy Bar the Democrat was apparently wielding, the company states its products are "delicious, on-the-go, plant-based food that is essential for a healthy and balanced life. "
