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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
