Joe Biden's weakness & confusion

 Last week was a week of weakness and confusion for Joe Biden. If you think that NATO didn't decide what they'd do to help Ukraine defeat Putin, then let's add indecision to weakness and confusion. First, let's deal with the confusion since there was so much of it.

When Biden was asked about whether NATO would respond to a chemical weapon attack, Biden said that there would be an "in-kind" response, meaning that NATO would respond with a chemical weapon attack of its own.

When Joe Biden visited the troops of the 82nd Airborne Division, he said "But the Ukrainian people, the Ukrainian people have a lot of backbone. They have a lot of guts. And I’m sure you’re observing it. And I don’t mean just the military, which is, we’ve been training since back when they uh, Russia moved into, into southeast, southeast Ukraine. But also the average citizen. Look at how they’re stepping up. Look at how they’re stepping up. And you’re gonna see when you’re there. And some of you have been there. You’re gonna see, you’re gonna see women, young people, standing, standing in the middle of, in front of a damn tank, just saying, 'I'm not leaving. I’m holding my ground.' They’re incredible."

Snopes insists that Joe Biden shouldn't be taken literally:

According to The Associated Press, Biden’s remarks were delivered in front of U.S. troops who were stationed in Poland near the border with Ukraine. They were there "to assist with the humanitarian emergency and to bolster the U.S. military presence on the eastern flank of NATO."
That explanation might've worked if not for Joe saying that the 82nd "would see ... women, young people ... standing in front of a damn tank."

Why would Biden call an American tank a "damn tank?" Why would it take guts for a Ukrainian to stand in front of an American tank in Poland? Watch Biden speak these words in this video:

It's almost 4 minutes into the video. Joe Biden wasn't talking about U.S. troops in Ukraine. I'm betting that Biden started ad-libbing about how tough Ukrainians legitimately are, then forgot what he was talking about, then went off-script. It's perfectly understandable given that Biden is cognitively in decline.

The 'highlight' of these lowlights, of course, is when Biden spoke about regime change. Antony Blinken didn't walk those 9 words back. He sprinted them back. The problem for the administration is that Biden insists that his administration isn't walking any of these statements back:

Final note: In this final video, Biden insists that his statement to the 82nd Airborne were about training Ukrainian troops. If that's true, which it isn't, why did Biden say "You’re gonna see, you’re gonna see women, young people, standing, standing in the middle of, in front of a damn tank, just saying, 'I'm not leaving. I’m holding my ground.'?" This guy is making this stuff up as he goes along. He's either lying intentionally or he's that confused. Either way, we have 2+ years of this type of frightening leadership left.

Joe Biden still hasn't committed to defeating Putin. Biden hasn't committed to fully arming Ukraine in a fight that Ukraine can win. Finally, Biden seems fine with battling Putin to a standstill. That's a defeatist attitude unworthy of a U.S. president.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
