Is Biden Our Own Reincarnation of Russia’s “Goofy Drunk” President Boris Yeltsin

Boris Yeltsin won a surprise re-election in 1996 thanks to support from business and media oligarchs and US intelligence, only to find himself presiding over the same problems that his first term caused. Yeltsin’s popularity once again collapsed in his second term, opening the door to Vladimir Putin.

Is a similar situation brewing in the United States of America?  The media, intelligence agencies, and oligarchy have walked Joe Biden into the White House to reinstate the disastrous policies of the Obama era, which are precisely what led to Trump’s upset in 2016. 

The last remnants of the Soviet Union crumbled under Boris Yeltsin’s watch. His immediate predecessor, Mikhail Gorbachev, attempted to save and preserve the USSR by way of his twin Perestroika and Glasnost reforms. The failure of these reforms led to the dissolution of the “Evil Empire,” as the individual republics of the Federation began to secede as communism itself collapsed. The Soviet system had been creaking all throughout the 1980s, with a collapse in confidence in governing institutions and the economic system.

A divide grew between the party elites and the people who were left with little reason to “pretend to work while they pretend to pay us.” Bogged down in a fruitless war in Afghanistan, its global rival quickly sped ahead of it economically (sound familiar?). Increasingly unable to provide the most basic services for its people, the COVID-era USA likewise fails to protect its citizenry. No wonder that the rise in opiate and cannabis use and decline in US life expectancy neatly mirrors the alcoholism and shortened life expectancy in 1990s Russia.”

The DMF Culture Corner

I have come to believe, for some strange reasons that escape me now, that there are some faithful readers of DMF who I sense are, shall we say, cultured gentlemen.  So I though I would draw upon on my ample education and Musicology background and bring a little dignity and culture to this joint. So pay attention!!

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) 

J.S.Bach as a composer had at his command the wealth of musical gifts, most superb contrapuntal feats as well as the most profound reserves of moving musical expression. He also possessed outstanding gifts as a virtuoso on the organ and harpsichord as well an innate and reliable knowledge about the acoustics of space. He did not need any complicated experiments but simply looked around a knew what to expect, as a practitioner through and through.

In Bach's own words: “It's easy to play any musical instrument. All you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself.”

He knew of what he spoke. Bach fathered 20 children because he had no stops on his Organ.        ______________________________________________________________

Throwback Thursday: When Joe Biden Defeated Ebola

Not to worry America. We should be confident in Biden's leadership abilities as he showed in his command acumen during the epic fight against Ebola during his stint as Barky O's VP.

Kountdown To Kamala

As it has become obvious to all but the most soft skull observers, Joe Biden is a shadow of his former self.  Long gone is the aggressive, pugnacious, sleazy inquisitor known for shameful mistreatment of  Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in his confirmation hearings. Today, Americans see a President who is clearly mentally diminished and is getting worse on a daily basis.

During the campaign, when asked by a CBS News correspondent if he had taken a cognitive test, Biden snapped, "Why the hell would I take a test?" His last medical report was issued in December of 2019. While his doctor labeled 46* fit to perform as President, that view was not shared by other experts like Dr. David Scheiner, the former personal physician for Barack Obama who observed 46* for eight years, claimed that Biden was “not a healthy guy.” And Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician for President Obama and DJT, said Biden doesn't seem to have the cognitive ability to serve as head of state. He also reiterated a concern shared by many Americans, “I really think that he needs some type of cognitive testing before he takes over the reins as our Commander-in-Chief.”  Unfortunately, as far as we know, no such testing has been conducted. 

Clearly, Biden was chosen by Obama as VP because he was born in Pennsylvania and could theoretically appeal to white, working class voters in the Rust Belt. But during eight years on the same ticket, Barky did not value Biden as a Vice-President and never invited him to his personal quarters in the White House for a visit. Obama held Biden in such low regard that he did not encourage him to run for President in 2016. Instead, he endorsed Ma Clinton. 

After the election, his mental decline has become obvious.  He has not held a formal press conference and has only been interviewed a few times by friendly reporters. His one town hall meeting was broadcast on CNN, who still to this day uses most of its airtime fuming about DJT still breathing.

46's* condition has become so worrisome that 31 House Democrats are demanding the control of the “nuclear football” be removed from the sole authority of the President.  In the background, smiling and patiently waiting, is Vice President Kamala Harris.  To bolster her position, she has the full support of former President Obama and his political entourage. She knows that her ascendancy will come sooner rather than later. I believe it was the plan all along.

After all, if you were to criticize a black women president, what would they call you?? Harris is biding her time, as the countdown has begun.

Media Whines New Boyfriend Pays Them Little Attention

RS - It’s hard to believe but it’s only been a little over a month since Joe Biden took office. During that time, he’s signed a stack of executive orders that have resulted in everything from exploding gas prices to a surge of illegal immigration at the border, loss of untold thousands of jobs, and never mind his bombing of Syria.

When it came to transparency, we were assured that things were going to be different even though the Trump administration was, in actuality, incredibly transparent.  CNN’s chyron blared “how refreshing” about new Press Secretary Jen Psaki, while journalists everywhere proclaimed that honesty had returned to the White House. Instead, what the media got was a cliché ridden Orange Girl.  Psaki is terrible at her job, but it doesn’t matter because she has no need to actually be good at her job. She can throw the talking points out there knowing they’ll be dutifully repeated.

The news media fluffed Biden in unimaginable ways, making the bed they now have to lie in. You see, when you give a politician a pass on everything, do no investigative reporting on him, and essentially worship at his feet to defeat the orange man, that politician will not respect you when the time comes to press him on an issue. Biden feels completely comfortable snubbing the press, and they have no one to blame but themselves. 

There are no citizen petitions or schedules for the president and vice president posted online. The White House comment line is shut down. The White House won't release virtual visitor logs. Biden has yet to hold a news conference of his own. https://t.co/FZMlibcEPf

Biden won’t release his virtual schedules, he hasn’t done a presser since taking office, and he hasn’t even been seen in public since Friday. What’s that say to you? Perhaps the lack of transparency is a necessity given Biden’s probable condition? I think that’s the real explanation here. Biden is only getting worse, and it’s going to get harder and harder for his handlers to cover it up.
