Biden Administration

Giving Rational Ignorance a Bad Name

Featured image More evidence that the Biden Administration is largely staffed by morons and ignoramuses. A couple days ago I drew a contrast between the late UN Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Biden’s UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who gives Kamala Harris a run for her money in the word-salad platitudes sweepstakes. Thomas-Greenfield outdid herself when, after the Algerian cease-fire resolution was defeated a few days ago, she concluded her statement as follows: »

When Democrats Actually Defended Israel Without Reservation

Featured image I’ll have more to say very shortly about the UN Security Council resolution dance that Scott wrote about this morning, as I agree that it looks like Biden is positioning himself to turn on Israel at a moment’s notice. For the moment, I want to note the contrast between Biden’s UN ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, a career foreign service officer who was likely picked for the post for the obvious reason, »

It Can’t Happen Here

Featured image Via InstaPundit, re today’s absurd order from rogue judge Arthur Engoron: Between the United States and Russia, one country just arbitrarily seized the assets of an oligarch opposed to the regime, and is trying to jail him The other country is Russia — Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) February 16, 2024 There are obvious differences between our regime and Russia’s, starting with the fact that the Biden Administration has not yet actually »

When Tim Met Saule

Featured image South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has been mentioned as a possible running mate for Donald Trump. Those who wonder what Scott is about might dial it back to his meeting with Saule Omarova, Biden’s pick for Comptroller of the Currency in the Treasury Department. Born in Kazakhstan, Omarova attended Moscow State University on a Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship. She came to the USA during the Gorbachev Era on an exchange »

Borderline Biden

Featured image The powers-that-be in the White House and the Biden reelection campaign think they can turn the “bipartisan border bill” fiasco to Biden’s benefit. As the sole author of the “emergency” that the bill was allegedly designed to address, Biden is in a uniquely poor position to advance the argument that Republicans are to blame. Regardless of one’s cynicism about the American electorate’s level of knowledge concerning such matters, no one »

Biden’s border win

Featured image Politico West Wing Playbook celebrates “Biden’s border win.” This is what the White House wants its supporters at Politico to know about the so-called “bipartisan border bill.” Metaphorically speaking, we need to separate the propagandistic twigs and seeds from the dope before we put this in our pipe and smoke it, Clinton style (links omitted): Last night’s unveiling of a bipartisan border bill kicked off a hectic race for the »

Sign of the times

Featured image If there is a story/video/photo that captures the madness of the moment, it must be the one featuring illegal alien Jhoan Boda flipping off the crowd as he left the courthouse in Manhattan last week. Miranda Devine recapitulated key elements of the story in her Devine Online newsletter with the subject heading “Crazy Town.” Here is her summary of the story: Look at this charmer coming out of Manhattan Criminal »

Axis of Biden crises

Featured image Andrew McCarthy has posted “Biden’s Iran Crisis Overlaps with His Border Crisis” in the accessible Corner cubby of NRO. This is his opening (links omitted): For many years, Iran has had an operational alliance with the Marxist totalitarian regime in Venezuela. This gives Iran a toehold in the West and a well-trod route to infiltrate operatives across the southern border. Biden has appeared blithely indifferent to this — which is »

Border Warning from Retired FBI Agents

Featured image I haven’t followed the estimates and accounts of potential terrorists and other bad actors crossing over our southern border, but last week a groups of senior retried FBI agents wrote the following letter to our congressional leaders indicating their belief that the problem is serious indeed. Could there be a critical mass of infiltrators who stage a 10/7-style attack here? These agents think so. (You can click on each graphic »

Gov. Abbott Stands His Ground

Featured image Texas Governor Greg Abbott is standing his ground in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s dreadful ruling on Monday to allow the Biden Administration to tear down the fencing Texas put up along its southern border to effect what the Biden regime refuses to do: Control the border. »

Bordering on demented

Featured image As he had vowed to do, President Biden opened the borders to illegal aliens on January 20, 2021. It was among his first acts in office and stands as an almost unbelievable act of willful destruction. Administration officials have both repeatedly lied about it and deflected blame over the years since that day. The Free Beacon’s Drew Holden notes that last week Biden acknowledged the border is not secure. “I »

Sully Phone Home

Featured image The Federal Aviation Administration, under a national outreach program for diversity and inclusion,  is pushing to recruit workers with total deafness in both ears, blindness, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism. John Hinderaker wonders, “How crazy are these people?” and as Paul Simon might say, the FAA is still crazy after all these years. Joe Biden’s pick to head the FAA was »

Biden Ducks Capitol Bombshells and Bullets

Featured image Back in 2021, Joe Biden referred to the events of January 6 as “the worst attack on our Democracy since the Civil War.” The Delaware Democrat ignored Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the attack on the U.S. Capitol on November 7, 1983. The “Armed Resistance Unit” planted a bomb in the Capitol, the Senate document “Bomb Explodes in Capitol” explains, “in retaliation for recent U.S. military involvement in Grenada and Lebanon.” »

Vacuum at the Top

Featured image As Scott noted previously, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was hospitalized for three days before Joe Biden knew anything about it. Austin claimed he “could have done a better job ensuring that the public was informed.” Such an understatement raises more than a few questions. We now know he was being treated for prostate cancer, but neither President Biden nor his staff knew this until today—weeks after Secretary Austin went »

Austin anomalies

Featured image Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was admitted to intensive care at Walter Reed on January 1. He was suffering complications from an undisclosed surgical procedure. For some reason he held his hospitalization as a secret to be kept inside the Pentagon. No one in President Biden’s world was notified — not Biden, not National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, not communications spokesmen inside the White House. No one mentioned Austin’s disappearance »

The Austin auscultation

Featured image The Austin Auscultation might be the title Robert Ludlum would have given to a suspense novel if he were inspired by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s secret hospitalization. It doesn’t have quite the ring of The Bourne Ultimatum and other of his Bourne series thrillers, but it could do. Secretary Austin’s hospitalization was so secret that it was kept strictly within the Pentagon’s five sides. Politico reports: “The Pentagon did »

Alejandro Mayorkas: It ain’t me, babe

Featured image DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appeared for an interview on FOX News Special Report with Bret Baier this past Thursday. FOX News has posted video of the whole thing here. At the Fox News site Charles Creitz reported on the interview here. Running for office President Biden invited illegal aliens of the world to come on in under his prospective presidency. On his first day in office he made good on »
