When his White House handlers lead the rheumy-eyed old man forward to speak on the critical issues like the beginning of possible World War, what do you do?

Do you lean forward, eager to pay attention to his words? If you’re like me, you cringe and worry for America and the world. Most of us are in that category now when Joe the Boneless opens his mouth. We fear what he’ll say.

Charles Hurt, the opinion editor at The Washington Times had the perfect line about doddering old President Joseph Biden in his column that was linked by Real Clear Politics. Hurt said it was painful to watch Biden learning to read what appeared to be a foreign language, even for his detractors. It got better.

“It was like watching an old man picked up off the street and hauled before cameras to be waterboarded.”

Bingo.

The world sees the spectacular weakness in Biden. There is no hiding it. And who is responsible? The Democrats who installed him to wreak his dreams upon the world.

It is Biden’s own policies that fuel both war in Ukraine and feed Iran’s war machine. It’s all about the oil and continuation of ruinous policy from Barack Obama. Meanwhile, Biden apologists—including those Iran apologists within his administration—refuse to acknowledge that he and Obama have allowed Iran to reap $70 billion in petrodollars to fund Hamas and Hezbollah terrorism against Israel.

Even the constant protection of the corrupt corporate media no longer works for Biden as it once did.  He’s weak. He’s afraid of Iran. He appeases Iran.

His disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan was only the beginning. The people see what he’s done. They’re waking up. They know.

Watching Biden draw unintended but altogether feeble comparisons between himself, and failed President Jimmy Carter, gives me no satisfaction. It offered only dread as if the best course of action would be to pull the covers back over our heads and hide from the world. But we can’t.

At least when Carter was exposing himself to the world as a weak man, when his name became a joke synonymous with feebleness, when the Americans were taken hostage in Iran.  Carter only cemented the notion he was a weakling when he literally panicked and  feared he was being threatened by a rabbit near a fishing hole.

Yet even through that, as inflation tore through our wallets and our savings, as Iran burned our flag, as our hostages waited helplessly because the president was so seemingly powerless, the Democrats were behind him and we called him president.

But that’s not true for today’s Democrats, who tear each other up over support for Israel. The hard left of Barack Obama has grown. They’re the anti-Semites who hate Israel. They’re the Democrats who support the do-nothing Soros prosecutors who don’t prosecute. And they take the country on a wild, dangerous joy ride, to a demolition derby on their Intersectionality Highway where victimhood crashes into victimhood.

The Democrats have a Hamas problem. It is an alliance of the sick, of the ill, as explained by my friend Charles Lipson in his essay “The Sick Alliance between the Left and Muslim Extremists” here.

“The virulent anti-Israel protests across America and Europe throw a glaring light on the bizarre alliance between left-wing activists and militant Muslims,” Lipson writes. “That odd combination has been the bedrock of political activism at universities and in the streets for years. It began in universities, where it now dominates political discourse, threatens Jewish students, and intimidates anyone brave enough to voice their dissent. We can now see how it has spread far beyond the campus.”

Some readers have already sent messages warning me against making  any Biden Carter comparison. If there was a cage match of today’s Biden now, the president who high steps it across short cut grass, and Carter then, only Carter would walk out on his own two feet. Biden is little more than a meat puppet. He will not debate anyone with a brain and lips to speak, let alone sit for hard-ball news interviews. That scripted puff piece by 60 Minutes shouldn’t count. America watched, horrified as he played Israel for campaign photo ops and could barely recite the lines provided to him by his puppet masters. He could barely focus his gaze.

 

But then, CBS News has long been in the Democrat pocket, pumping for Obama’s notorious Iran nuclear deal promoted by media manipulator and puppeteer Ben Rhodes–the brother of then CBS president David Rhodes–is but one example of the dangers of the Democrat Media Complex.

I’m writing this for Sunday, the day Americans say they’d like to go to church, but corporate America dictates otherwise. Jesus Christ must compete with football with the hands and football with the feet on TV. Before the sports spectacle is a visit to the narthex of TV service on Sunday: The sermons of the chin strokers, those armchair anchors and armchair generals and armchair pundits.

On those shows they will talk of things we can barely grasp, like what it must be like fighting in the dark, in the terrorist built tunnel networks that have been dug under Gaza. And Democrats and their pundits will push Joe Biden’s wrong-headed policy of linking U.S. military aide to Ukraine to support for Israel and humanitarian aide for Palestinians–which means terrorist Hamas will take more American money.

One of the silver tongues supporting a linkage between aid to Ukraine and Israel is Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. When Blinken opens his mouth, please think of two things: Biden’s horror at even mentioning Iran as the architect of the Hamas war crimes against Israeli civilians in Gaza, and also remember how Blinken got his job in the first place.

Because it was Blinken who who orchestrated the slime attack against The New York Post for its reporting of the Hunter Biden laptop fiasco.

The Democrats have a Hamas problem, as my friend Charles Lipson explains here.

It is in the narthex of the news shows where the Liturgy of Nikki Haley is sung. I’m not a fan. I don’t know the woman personally, she might be gracious. I could be wrong, but I see her as a cheerleader for the Bush wing to reassert itself.

It has been years since the establishment Republican War Party broke the Middle East by pushing former President George Bush’s wrong-headed and completely unnecessary invasion of Iraq backed by disinformation experts in the intelligence section and Vice President Dick Cheney.

Back then I, like many Americans after the September 11 terrorist attacks on our country, was vulnerable to the whisperings of the neo-cons, from their insistence on increasing the dangerous powers of the Deep State and all its surveillance of Americans, to the pushing of endless wars and their determination to set unelected federal bureaucrats (the American Kemalists) against American liberty.

I promised myself then, never again. I’ve studied political animals all my life. There’s one thing that those out of power really want: power.

Fox News and the neo-conservative catechism seeks to elevate Nikki Haley, because she and the war in Ukraine and the war now in Gaza are their tickets back to power.

John Daniel Davidson in The Federalist warned against the neo-con impulse now being fueled by Biden to build one big war in the Middle East and Ukraine in his column “No, The Conflicts in Israel and Ukraine Are Not ‘One War’.

“A memo must have gone out this week to all unreconstructed neocons directing them to propagate the idea that the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine are “one war,” and that the stakes of this one war are so high — civilization itself hangs in the balance! — that the United States must get deeply involved in both of them,” Davidson wrote.

“I know, it sounds idiotic,” he continued, “but that’s the line. President Joe Biden peddled a version of it in an Oval Office speech Thursday, saying Hamas and Putin represent different threats but “both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy.”

I agree with Davidson, and with Ohio Republican Sen. J.D. Vance and I think most Americans agree also. Aid to Israel and Ukraine should not be linked. We should support our ally Israel.

Most Americans don’t like what Putin has done in Ukraine, but spent so much already without accounting. The U.S. is $33 trillion in debt and the Biden administration has opened the Southern border with Mexico, and how many terrorists have crossed over there?

“What Biden is doing is disgusting,” Sen. Vance wrote. “He’s using dead children in Israel to sell his disastrous Ukraine policy to skeptical Americans. They are not the same countries, they are not the same problems, and this effort to use Israel for political cover is offensive. Hell no.”

Let Israel do what must be done to protect Israeli citizens. Stop linking aid to Ukraine with aid to Israel. And stand up to Iranian aggression, stop helping fund Iranian terrorism, or it will only get worse for you, America and the world.
