Don’t let the bedbugs bite…

A week has gone by, and we’re still trying to come to terms with the meltdown of SloJo Biden in the, er, presidential debate.

What We Didn’t See

What we saw was Biden–babbling, stumbling, hemming and hawing, confused, feeble… yeah, all those qualities we look for in a president.

What we didn’t see was whoever it is who’s pulling his strings. We know the nooze media spent three years lying to us about this old wreck’s condition. We know the D.C. power structure lied about it.

Don’t they care about the welfare of this country?

I think the answer to that question is obvious. Don’t you?

They Won’t Let the, um, President… Read?

This page was okay. It has a picture.

Well, they brought back the traditional White House Easter Egg Hunt yesterday; and then SloJo tried to read a children’s book to the kiddies. But–!

“They’re not going to let me read at all,” said the man who was elected by I don’t know whom (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/04/18/joe-biden-theyre-not-going-to-let-me-read-a-childrens-book/).

The tome in question was a children’s book called “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” After a few minutes of being balked at this, the, er, president tried to get up to leave. But First Lady Jill grabbed his arm and pulled him back down. “Just stay,” she said. Did she think she was talking to a dog?

And what did he mean by “They’re not going to let me”? Who’s “they”? Who gets to tell the president of the United States that he can’t read a book?

This guy’s more than a few candles short of a birthday cake. Sometimes I get accused (gently, mind you) of making up these stories that I report to you. I understand–they do seem way too ridiculous to be real. I mean, this is The Leader Of The Free World. Anyway, yeah–it’s real.

God help us.

A War for No Reason?

You don’t need me to report on the Russo-Ukraine War; there’s enough confusion already.

But see, I’m a political scientist, with a strong interest in military theory and history, and normally I know about things like this. But for the life of me, I have no idea at all as to why this war started, who was at fault, what the stakes are, who’s the good guys and who’s the bad guys–I don’t know!

Am I just a dope for not knowing these things, when our politicians and TV commentators seem to know all about them? They certainly are passionate about what actions they think America and her allies ought to take. Wack Putin. Send troops. Don’t send troops. Stop buying oil from Russia. Buy more oil from Russia.

After our fiasco in Afghanistan, the whole world–and especially the world’s bad guys–saw the weakness and sheer inanity of America’s leaders, and concluded that they can now do anything they want. As long as the chairman of our Joint Chiefs of Staff says his chief concern is White Supwemacy (or Climbit Chainge, depending on what side of the bed he gets up on), they knew they don’t have to take America seriously.

Unless SloJo sleepwalks us into World War III.
