Joe Biden, our first semi-retired president

We've known for quite a while that government workers aren't the hardest workers in history. Secretary Pete Buttigieg got confirmed as Joe Biden's Transportation Secretary. Shortly after his confirmation and swearing in ceremony, Buttigieg took a 2-month paternity leave of absence while we suffered through supply chain shortages, including the baby formula shortage.

As unqualified for the job that Buttigieg is, not to mention how lazy he is, it's stunning how qualified he looks when comparing him to Joe Biden, the first semi-retired U.S. president in history. When Biden isn't vacationing at his beachfront mansion in Rehoboth Beach, DE, he's vacationing in Nantucket, MA, over Thanksgiving. When Biden isn't vacationing at either of those places, he's vacationing in Wilmington, DE. When he isn't vacationing at any of those places, he's ringing in the new year in the Virgin Islands while Buffalo digs out from one of the deadliest blizzards in Buffalo's history.

That's a ton of vacations for an 80-year-old man. Some might think that Biden is semi-retired. Biden's results certainly suggest that he isn't pouring himself into his job. To appropriate a line from President Reagan's debate with Jimmy Carter, there he goes again:

The border is totally chaotic. Inflation is still historically high. Parents of little newborn babies still can't get formula a year after the crisis started. The war in Ukraine drags on because our semi-retired president won't get Ukraine the lethal military aid on a timely basis. Had Biden done a decent job with any of these crises, the people would cut him some slack. Because he's taken a recovering, low-inflation economy and turned it into a struggling economy with historically high inflation, he's one of the worst presidents in U.S. history.

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...
