There’s an old proverb, “A fool and his money are soon parted.”  There’s no doubt that our Fearless Leader, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden, is a fool, but we might need to change the proverb a bit.  The Biden Crime Family has amassed a great deal of money over the years, from which they haven’t  easily been parted.  If foolish Joe wanted to blow his own money, no one would care.  The problem is that the Fool in Chief is parting with our money, not his.  Well, that’s not correct either.  He’s borrowing and parting with trillions of dollars; money that our children and grandchildren will have to repay in perpetuity.  What’s more, this out of control borrowing and spending is for no sensible government purpose, worse than that, our spending is downright counterproductive, ruinous, and insane.  The Biden spending spree would be disastrous even if we actually had the money he’s blowing, but we don’t.  Currently, our national debt stands at more than $33 trillion, which is 120% of our Gross National Product.  The only other time that’s happened was World War II.  That was a good reason for high spending and debt.  Today, there’s no good reason.  In today’s dollars, World War II cost the U.S. about $4.1 trillion.  That’s the total for four years.  Joe Biden is spending $6 trillion a year, and he wants to spend more next year.  I’ve written recently about the sea change in Congressional acceptance of debt.  When Democrat LBJ wanted to lower tax rates, other Democrats opposed him, until the federal budget actually was cut.  And in 1964, a “budget cut” really meant spending less next year than you spent this year, but not anymore.  Now, if you spend $10 billion this year, and plan to spend $15 billion next year, but only spend $12 billion, that’s considered a $3 billion budget cut.  Only it’s not a cut, it’s just another lie.  Our Congressional leaders, the people who are supposed to be the guardians of our national finances, and the protectors of our future as a nation, have become incurable spending addicts.  And they’re spending money we don’t have on stupid crap.  Recent Omnibus Budget bills have included such things as $750,000 for new fire alarms at the Metropolitan Opera, and $3 million for an LGBTQ museum.  Here’s a good one.  $15 billion “to save the entertainment industry.”  Save it from what?  Then there was $200 million for the Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund.  This was a vital outlay.  The Fund is dedicated to tackling “the disproportionate impact of Covid, climate change, conflict, and crisis on women and girls.”  Huh?  This puts me in mind of a old joke.  A deadly asteroid is about to destroy the Earth.  The New York Times headline-  WORLD ENDS TOMORROW, WOMEN AND MINORITIES HARDEST HIT.  But speaking of old jokes, let’s get back to our old joke.

     Joe Biden is spending money like he’s just jumped in a cab and told the driver, “Take me to Hell in a hand basket, the road to ruin is the fastest route.” First, Joe decides to destroy the oil and gas industry.  Our nation runs on oil and gas.  All of our industries, our military, the cars we drive, the trucks that deliver goods, heating our homes, cooking our food, and thousands of products we can’t do without depend on the availability of abundant and affordable oil and gas.  Without it we face massive unemployment, starvation, and ruin.  Simply put, without oil and gas America is a Third World country.  Biden’s actions have artificially increased oil prices, which along with ruinous spending caused high inflation that hurts every American.  The inflation resulted in high interest rates, which have crippled the housing industry.  Oh yes, then there’s the little problem of worldwide warfare.  Since Biden took office, Russia and Ukraine are at war, the Mideast is on fire, the Chinese are about to invade Taiwan, and Iran is threatening the world.  Joe Biden is directly responsible for all these calamities.  Russia has been called a gas station with nuclear weapons.  Russia invaded Ukraine only because the Biden increase in oil prices from $50 to near $100 a barrel made an invasion possible.  This was no surprise.  Oil spiked in 1980.  Russia invaded Afghanistan.  Oil spiked in 2014.  Russia invaded Crimea.  And now we’re funding both sides with borrowed money.  China’s aiding Russia.  We sell our oil reserves to China, aiding their eventual invasion of Taiwan, then we borrow money from China, turn around and send it to Ukraine, to fight the Russians, whose invasion of Ukraine we made possible.  It’s perverse.  And funding both sides has become a habit for us.  Hamas attacks Israel.  We’re allied with Israel.  We send them aid, and move our military to the region to fight Islamic terrorists, then we try to hold Israel back.  At the same time, we’re sending $100 million to the Hamas terrorists.  Biden calls this “humanitarian aid,” which again is perverse, as it’s being sent, no strings attached, to the same inhuman homicidal maniacs who butchered women, babies and the elderly.  Not crazy enough yet?  Hamas is financed by Iran.  Iran is the most notorious financier of international terrorism on the planet. Lately, there’s a lot of criticism of the fact that Biden unfroze $6 billion in Iranian assets.  That’s peanuts.  Il Duce Obama gave them billions more than that, including pallets of cash.  Biden undid the Trump sanctions on Iran, permitting them to sell oil worth over $60 billion.  And now Iran has threatened to attack the U.S. if we continue to aid Israel.  And imbecile Biden is doing exactly nothing to cut off Iranian oil income.  Instead, he’s lurching closer to a wider war in the Mideast.  And all of the Biden lunatic escapades are being financed by borrowing that will cripple the U.S. for generations to come.  It’s high time that the current Fool in Chief is parted from our money.  Biden’s response to those who might get involved in the Mideast war is “Don’t.”  That’s good advice.  Want to stop having our money pissed down a rathole?  Don’t reelect Joe Biden.

President Trump’s slogan was MAGA, Make America Great Again.  He made  promises to the American people, and he fulfilled each and every one of them, to the consternation of the Establishment swamp creatures in both Parties.  As a result, they determined to rid themselves of the meddlesome upstart who dared to deliver the things they had been promising for decades.  He made them look bad.  He endangered their phony-baloney jobs, and he threatened their access to continued graft, so he had to go, and he went.  Enter Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden, who has a dilemma.  He’s still threatened by Donald Trump, a man he’s indicted four times, and has New York hard at work trying to put out of business.  And yet, Biden himself is so unpopular that he needs to run against a weakened Donald Trump.  As part of Biden’s campaign of slander, incoherent perhaps, but no less slander, Biden has turned MAGA from a slogan into the Scarlet Letter, identifying anyone thereby marked as “an existential threat to our democracy.”  Biden blames “MAGA extremists” for every ill.  They’re a handy scapegoat for all the calamities Biden and his keepers have wrought.  Don’t like the economy?  MAGA.  Problems on the border?  MAGA.  What group poses the greatest threat of domestic terrorism?  MAGA.  And so it goes.  Well, I’ve reached my limit.  I’m tired of MAGA, and I’m tired of the senile boob who’s constantly yammering about MAGA.  We need a new slogan for 2024.  I propose BASTA.  In Italian, basta means “enough,” and I definitely have had enough.  MAGA is an acronym, and so is BASTA.  BASTA stands for, Bring America Sane Thinking Again.  It’s fitting because that’s what we need right now.  We don’t need a revolution.  What America urgently needs is a lucid interval, because clearly, we’ve lost our way.  We’ve strayed from from the course of sanity, and we’re indulging our nation, our futures, and our very existence in the world of the insane.  Several examples are in order.  Let’s consider the border.  A nation without a border ceases to be a sovereign nation.  Without a means of determining who has entered, neither national security nor economic security may be assured.  Moreover, a welfare State with no border is doomed to collapse.  Yet though all these risks were well known, we’ve erased our border.  We’ve admitted millions of homeless aliens who expect our support, and we’ve supported them, in some cases, by displacing homeless American veterans and senior citizens with aliens.  (I say “displace” because I know how much Democrats hate it when you say “replace”).  This is illegal, it’s criminal, and it’s downright crazy.  What about crime?  The refusals of prosecutors to enforce the law have turned cities into Hellscapes.  After law school, I clerked for a judge who taught me, “the first duty of government is to protect people in their homes and on the street.”  We’ve abrogated that duty.  We now tolerate, and in some cases, condone crime.  Where the rule of law ends, society ends.  No sane nation would pursue this path.  We need help.  Consider our national debt, now standing at $33 trillion.  A story is in order.  In 1964, LBJ was trying to get the JFK proposed tax cuts through Congress.  Democrats controlled the presidency, House and Senate, but Democrat Senate Finance Committee Chairman Harry Byrd refused to move on the tax bill until LBJ proved to him that the government actually would spend less.  The debt was then $312 billion.  With the debt now more than 100 times greater than in 1964, no official supports cutting real spending, few favor even slowing the rate of increase, and only a precious few even acknowledge that our finances are unsustainable.  One who blithely skips down the road to ruin is dangerously unbalanced, and in need of help.  Then there’s our energy policy.  Our leaders promised us energy independence for more than 40 years.  President Trump achieved that goal.  With $40 to $50 dollar a barrel oil, prices were low, and America became an energy exporter.  On top of that, even after we quit participating in the Paris CO2 Accords, the U.S. met the Accord goals 5 years early, the only nation to do so.  But not good enough for the current Administration.  Biden ran on a pledge to destroy our oil and gas industries, he cancelled leases and pipelines, appointed Energy and Interior Secretaries who pledge to “leave oil and gas in the ground,” and depleted most of our strategic petroleum reserve.  The result has been artificially high energy prices, crippling inflation, and one thing most people leave out, war and threat of war all over the globe.  People like to say, “Russia wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine if Trump was president.”  They’re right, but for the wrong reason.  With oil at $50, Russia couldn’t afford a war with anybody.  By raising oil prices, Biden made the war possible.  Now, we’re on a path that no sane nation would follow.  U.S. policies made it possible for Russia to invade Ukraine.  China is supporting Russia in that war.  Meanwhile, we’re selling our oil reserves to China, while borrowing money from China, so we can turn around and give it to Ukraine, so they can fight Russia.  We started the war and are funding both sides.  The only word for this is “crazy.”  We’ve lost our minds.  And it’s not just Ukraine.  Trump sanctioned Iran.  Biden refused to enforce the sanctions, and Iran, the chief financier of terrorism in the world, was permitted to sell oil, now worth some $60 billion.  Iran finances Hamas, and now Israel, and perhaps the entire Middle East is on the brink of war.  And why have we embarked on such a ruinous energy policy?  Because Biden and Company want to mandate electric vehicles.  Put aside for now the nagging question, “Where in the Constitution does it give the government the right to dictate what vehicles we drive, and what light bulbs we can buy?  The fact is few people want or can afford electric vehicles.  I know this because I can’t think of another product that the government will give me $7500 to convince me to buy.  And if that’s not crazy enough, the government insists on the mandate, despite the facts that we lack the infrastructure to charge the vehicles, and the electric grid can’t generate the energy necessary to charge them anyway if it’s running on wind, solar and pond scum.  In summary,  our nation’s present condition can only be described as the product of insane delusions.  It’s high time we told our leaders BASTA.  Enough already!  Enough reckless spending, enough open borders, and enough of paying attention to imbecilic Woke protesters.  We’ve run off the rails, and we’re beyond petty politics. We must support candidates who will restore America to sanity.

President Bush 41, George H.W. Bush, called himself “the Education President.”  Two time presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, who clearly is sitting in the dark, sticking pins in her Joe Biden doll, in hopes that he’ll trip and fall and Democrats will draft her for president, has served notice that, if elected, she will be “the Re-education President.”  In an interview with CNN, during which she denounced anyone foolish enough to disagree with the smartest woman in the world, Fascist dictator-in-waiting Hillary made a stunning announcement.  Stunning, not because it revealed anything new about her, but because she said it out loud.  In the course of insulting and further alienating any voter who might support former president Trump, in other words some 75 to 80 million Americans, Gruppenfuhrer Hillary announced, “Maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.”  This statement prompted the satirical website “The Babylon Bee” to post this story – ELDERLY WOMAN ESCAPES NURSING HOME, RANTS ABOUT DEPROGRAMMING THE POPULACE[Please note – no matter how apt, the text at the bottom of the above screenshot regarding the recall of an airbag was not a reference to Hillary Rodham Clinton]

I want to take this opportunity to thank Hillary for her helpful comments.  Every time I think Democrats can’t descend any lower into the depths of hypocrisy, they prove me wrong.  Don’t forget, it’s Democrats and their media lapdogs, who keep telling us that any and all Republican policies represent “an existential threat to our democracy.”  These bastards consider Donald Trump himself to be such a threat.  Once again, one wonders what their definition of “democracy” might be.  To us, “democracy” requires educated, informed voters, and responsible elected officials, all dedicated to preserving the freedoms guaranteed to us by our Constitution.  Democrats don’t agree.  They consider personal freedom, the exchange of differing opinions and ideas, and the notion of any dissent whatsoever as threats to what they call “our democracy.”  The whole Democrat drive to eliminate “misinformation” is nothing more than a Fascist attempt at speech and thought control.  Democrats consider any attempt to improve their failing schools, which are producing generations of illiterates, to be racist, thereby condemning racial minorities to continued poverty, and exposure to violent crime, which Democrats consider to be “progressive.”  An uninformed populace is easier to control, so they keep the students ignorant, and bombard them with Woke claptrap, while striving to cancel any speech that might reveal the truth.  But they have a problem.  Those 75 million pesky Trump supporters won’t conform, so what to do?  Hillary just spilled the beans.  Throw them into Progressive reeducation camps.  By making that suggestion, Hillary has aligned herself with a number of other well-known “democratic” leaders in our history.  Right now, that sterling democrat Vladimir Putin has more than 6,000 Ukrainian children in political re-education camps, presumably to convince them that the nation that destroyed their villages and killed their parents did so only to preserve “our democracy.”  Putin certainly didn’t invent the camps.  The Gulag was an instrument of political repression in the Soviet Union housing political prisoners.  The Gulag “re-educated” 14 million Russians, less the 2 million or so who failed to survive the curriculum.  The thoroughly democratic Chinese Communist government also runs re-education camps, where about 2 million Chinese undergo a 3 to 4 year program of instruction, designed to teach them that dissent is a crime.  Then, of course, the Chinese have millions of Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in camps designed to counter extremism (you know, like the MAGA extremists Biden keeps talking about) and to promote social integration, i.e., conformity.  China’s Cultural Revolution saw thousands of officials transported to the countryside, at hard labor, for “re-education,” I guess the Freedom Caucus members  better be on the lookout for Comrade Hillary.  Of course, China’s democratic neighbors, across the Yalu River, the North Koreans, also operate a number of re-education camps, in which hundreds of thousands are forced to labor, while contemplating the error of their ways, i.e., failing to adequately support the Dear Leader, Kim Jung Clinton, oops, I mean Un.  And that bastion of democracy, Soviet era Romania, also used its prisons to conduct both “passive” and “violent” re-education.  Hillary hasn’t announced the details of her proposed curriculum.  I’m sure that part of it will entail forcing the internees to watch hours of coverage from MSNBC, in order to banish the evil notion that all is not well in America.  It might look something like this –

  He must be watching Joy Reid.  Now that I think of it, Hillary may have hit on a way to greatly improve the U.S. economy.  They’ll need lots of construction projects to build camps for 75 million MAGA extremists.  I guess that’s what the Democrats meant by “shovel ready jobs.”  Of course, most of the construction people will be internees, but I guess that’s what the 7 million “migrants” are here for.  Since Democrats are taking a page from history, maybe the camps can even have signs over their front gates like the one at Auschwitz

Only, instead of Arbeit Macht Frei (Work makes you free), it could say Sklaverei Macht Frei (Slavery makes you free).  George Orwell would approve.  Of course, it wouldn’t be a metal sign, because that would require the fabrication of steel, which would emit far too much CO2.  Maybe it could be hand-painted with human excrement from the streets of San Francisco.  That would be appropriate.  I guess we would need a new Cabinet department, the Department of Re-education, run by Secretary Jamaal Bowman, the House Squad member who last week thought he was a volunteer fireman.  He once worked in a school.  The Department, sure to be known as DRE, could issue Block Grants, to fund razor wire to be constructed around the prison blocks.  And with Democrats in charge, there wouldn’t be a need for male and female camps, as gender would be optional.  There would be lots of interesting classes in the camps, like Denial of the Truth 101, Mass Delusion 101, Insipid Chanting 101, and the intermediate level course, Destruction of Society 202, taught by visiting professors from BLM and Antifa.  And every Saturday night, the camps could have recreational activities, games like, Pin the Blame on the Republican, and The Three-Legged Race, featuring amputees from Islamic terrorist bombings and other atrocities that the Democrat Party refuses to denounce.  One good thing about the camps will be that they won’t be too hard to escape from.  Because the guards will be coming from Gen Z they won’t be too smart, and they’ll insist on working from home, so it will be hard for them to chase the escapees.  Anyhow, good for Hillary, I’ve been wanting a vacation, so I’m sure we’ll all meet again in the camps.  Look for me, I’ll be Number 24601, and I’ll have a file in my shoe.

There was a time when Democrats, who now go by the misnomer “Progressives,” spend much of their time asking the question, “Why do people from other countries hate us?”  Misbegotten leftists pondered that problem at length after the 911 attacks.  The answer was as obvious then as it is now.  A strong America, dedicated to the personal freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution is an irresistible force that can impose its will on lesser nations, and those lesser nations resent it.  However, I submit that the real question to be pondered is, “Why do Democrats hate America?”  This is the subject of a new book by Mark Levin, and while I have not yet read the book, the answer once again seems obvious.  Shortly before to the 2008 election, Il Duce Obama gave a speech in which he stated, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”  He didn’t explain what he wanted to transform the country into, but in the years since then we  found out.  Today’s elected Democrats, almost uniformly Progressive, Woke, or just simply leftist, really don’t like the United States of America, or at least the America that was envisioned by our Founders, and which is based on our Constitution.  You may have noticed that Democrats don’t approve of the Bill of Rights.  Left to their own devices, they would cancel the First Amendment rights to free speech, religious exercise, and a free press.  They really hate the Second Amendment.  When they want to spy on you they don’t respect the Fourth Amendment.  The Fifth and Sixth Amendments guarantee fair trials.  One look at what they’ve done to Donald Trump and the January 6th defendants should convince you Democrats are against those.  The 10th Amendment limits the scope of the federal government and protects the rights of the States and the people.  Democrats don’t even acknowledge that one exists.  They’re transformative, and the transformation was outlined in a 1966 plan by two Democrat-Socialist professors, Clowerd and Piven.  Their 8 point plan is designed to collapse our government, so it can be replaced by a new Socialist model.  Here are the components: control healthcare and you control the people; increase poverty,  poor people are easier to control; increase the debt to an unsustainable level; impose gun control to prevent people from defending themselves from the government; take control of every aspect of life, food, housing, and income; take control of what people can read and listen to and of what children learn in school; remove the belief in the God from government and schools; and promote class warfare.  Democrats are hard at work on all of the above, the object of the exercise being to stress the system to the point of collapse, thus permitting a Fascist takeover.  Don’t doubt me.  Democrats may be crazy, but they’re not stupid.  If they’re not working on the Clowerd and Piven plan, then what they’re doing defies explanation.  Look at the border, or lack of one.  Democrats have long complained about homelessness, or at least they do when Republicans are in office.  Streets in our big cities, and most notably in California and the West coast, featured tent cities before Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden erased the southern border.  Simply put, there was a glaring homelessness problem among American citizens, many of them veterans, long before Biden opened the floodgates to illegal alien invaders.  Given that fact, if not to collapse the system, what could be the purpose of admitting 6 million homeless invaders, who must be housed, educated, fed, and provided medical care?  Even New York City, the premiere Sanctuary City, is feeling the stress from the alien invasion.  In 2022, faced with 17,000 “migrants” Mayor Adams laid the blame where it belonged, on Joe Biden, announcing a “state of emergency.”  This year, faced with nearly 125,000 hungry invaders, Adams is panicked.  New York has a Right to Shelter consent decree, imposed in 1981 to address the needs of homeless New Yorkers.  Adams, Governor Hochul, and even Slick Willie Clinton are now advocating for a change to that agreement.  As this is written, Eric Adams is visiting Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia, where he’s telling prospective invaders not to come to New York.  However, in order to maintain his hold on stupidity and Democrat hypocrisy, Adams is also calling for the border to remain open.  He just wants the invaders to go somewhere else, like, to Texas.  Democrats fervently hope to overwhelm Texas with millions of migrants to turn it Blue, and forever prevent the election of a Republican president.  They adamantly deny that they’re trying to replace American voters with new voters, and because they always lie, that proves it’s precisely what they’re doing.  Slick Willie admitted as much last week. “We should build more housing just over the Rio Grande, and Mexico, I think, would support that, keep people there, and let them in as quickly as possible if they are going someplace where we know they can get a job, and they’ll be welcome.”  Yeah, Democrats know the invaders can get jobs in Texas, they’ll make them poll workers in the next election.  And the illegal alien invasion is but one component in the plan to collapse America.  They’re promoting class warfare to the point where there’s a risk of actual warfare in the streets.  The George Floyd riots fanned the flames of a racial divide.  The ridiculous calls for reparations and guaranteed incomes added to the conflagration.  And the leftist war against law enforcement: defund the police, abolish bail, and refuse to prosecute crimes, has fundamentally transformed our cities into unrecognizable Hellscapes.  Thieves are permitted to loot stores to the bare walls without fear of arrest or prosecution.  Stores in these neighborhoods close, establishing what leftists like to call “food deserts,” places where residents don’t have access to food or drug stores to obtain the basic necessities of life.  That forces the government to provide more, hastening its collapse.  Faced with rampant robbery, theft, and carjacking, citizens are increasingly resorting to self defense.  Absent a functional justice system, vigilante justice is the logical next step.  What could be the goal of the purposeful destruction of civil society?  The only answer I can think of is “See Above,” these bastards want to collapse our system to usher in their Fascist takeover.  The most disturbing proof that they’re planning our collapse is the Left’s attempt to control speech in the media and on the internet.  What do you think the Democrat obsession with stamping out “misinformation” is for?  When politicians get to decide what is true enough to be heard and seen, the end is near.  Russian painter Elena Gorokhova put it best, “The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them.”  If that becomes our reality, we’re through.  Don’t let the bastards win.  Remember those inspiring words of Al Sharpton, “Resist we much!”

I used to hate it when the Left kept telling us, “the walls are closing in” on President Trump, but today, it actually appears that the walls indeed may be closing in on the current resident of the White House, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden.  Biden truly has screwed up absolutely everything he’s touched since he assumed office in 2021.  Before the Chinese attacked the world with the Wuhan plague, Trump had given us lower taxes, higher wages, energy independence, no inflation, full employment for all groups including minorities, a secure border, greatly improved trade agreements, a revitalized military, a fully funded NATO alliance, China, Russia, North Korea and Iran in check, and peace throughout the world.  True to form, and as Il Duce Obama predicted, Joe Biden has managed to F up all those things and then some.  His withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster that needlessly cost the lives of 13 Marines.  Biden’s energy policy, which is – leave oil and gas in the ground in favor of solar, wind and pond scum – is about to result in $150 a barrel oil, up from $50 under Trump.  That fueled runaway inflation, costing families an additional $700 a month, just to get to work and provide food.  Delusional Joe Biden calls this Bidenomics, which he hails as a great triumph.  Add to this Joe’s continual lies about his involvement in a foreign bribery scheme run by his crack-head son Hunter, and his disturbing episodes of mumbled gibberish  and wandering off during public events, and the picture is bleak.  In fact, it has caused 75% of Democrats to conclude that Old Joe should not run in 2024.  How does all this relate to the recent indictment of NJ Senator Bob Menendez?  Patience, I’m getting there.  Senator Menendez, who a few years ago escaped conviction for bribery with a hung jury, has been indicted once again for bribery related to his position as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.  The indictment charges Menendez with taking bribes from Egypt, and from businessmen seeking government contracts to provide U.S. aid to Egypt.  Investigators seized more than $500,000 in cash, three kilos of gold, valued at $200,000, and a 2019 Mercedes automobile.  Many of the payments were made to Menendez’s wife who also was indicted.  Now, a NJ politician being accused of taking bribes is nothing new.  Years ago, when Congressman Hugh Addonizio left Congress to run for Mayor of Newark, a Congressional colleague asked him why he would want a seemingly lesser position.  Addonizio explained, “As Mayor I can make $1 million.”  He did, and he wound up in prison.  As a Democrat, Menendez assumed he couldn’t be touched.  He was wrong.  He crossed Obama and Biden on Iran and other issues.  And NJ Governor Murphy needs a new job, so Bob was expendable.  But what’s the connection to Biden?  The Bidens have done the same things as Menendez and wife, only more so.  Joe Biden has escaped charges – so far.  It’s good to be the King.  But that may change.  Remember the Left preaching that there’s no evidence connecting Joe Biden to Hunter’s receipt of money from China, Russia, Ukraine, and other nations?  Their BS story was that Hunter’s solicitation of payments from foreign actors based on a promise of his father’s political influence didn’t implicate Joe because the money was paid to Hunter, and not to Joe.  The Menendez indictment spoils that theory.  The law is settled.  When a family member takes money in return for a promise of political favors from the elected family member, that’s bribery no matter who pocketed the money.  The timing of the Menendez indictment thus serves two purposes.  It gives NJ Democrats enough time to nominate a different crook to take Bob’s place in next year’s election, and it serves as a warning to Joe Biden.  There are parallels between the Menendez charges and the information we now have on the Biden Crime Family.  The only difference is that what the Bidens have done puts Bob Menendez to shame.  Menendez got $500,000 cash.  The Bidens got anywhere from $20 to $50 million.  Menendez got gold bars.  The Bidens got a 3 carat diamond from China worth $80,000.  Menendez got a $50,000 car.  Hunter Biden got a $142,000 car.  It is good to be the King.  Topping that, Menendez has hired the same lawyer who’s representing Hunter.  The bottom line is this, when 3 out of 4 Democrats want you to retire, then it’s time for you to go, quietly, or else you and Bob Menendez may wind up as cellmates.  The signs are all there.  For three years, Democrats have protected Joe Biden by covering up for his many gaffes, and simply denying that he’s a gibbering fool who’s made everything worse.  Now that’s beginning to change.  Polls are showing Trump ahead of Biden nationally.  One had Trump and Biden tied.  Another had Trump 5% ahead.  Last week, a Washington Post/ABC News poll had the four times indicted Trump ahead of Biden by 10%.  The release of such polling is not coincidental.  It’s part of the message to Biden that it’s time to go.  The poll had Biden’s approval at 37%; 30% on the economy, and 23% on the border debacle.  If Trump truly is ahead of Biden nationally by any measure, it spells disaster for Democrats.  They know they must rid themselves of Old Joe.  The rats are beginning to desert Biden’s ship of State.  This week, “unnamed Administration officials” leaked the fact that Joe Biden has a problem standing and walking.  Orthopedic physicians have recommended a walker, which is optically unacceptable, as Karine Jean-Pierre keeps insisting Joe’s so spry she has trouble keeping up with him.  The result has been daily physical therapy and a recommendation that Joe wear sneakers.  So why leak this now?  Well, Old Joe is pretty stubborn.  If he insists on running again, he will be hard to get rid of.  The problem for Democrats is that they know they’re in big trouble.  When it comes to elections, Democrats don’t take chances.  They have to make Joe go away, one way or another.  Ideally, they’ll convince Joe to step aside due to infirmity, with the private assurance that he won’t be prosecuted.  But if Joe digs in the heels of his sneakers and refuses to go, I would not put it past the Democrats to take him out, physically if need be.  So, you could view the leak of his physical problems either as the prelude to his announcement of retirement, or as a way to prepare the public for a tragic “accident” which accomplishes the same result.  Then then Left will have to find another stooge to finish their destruction of America.
