Friday's Font of Absurdities: Slidin' Biden Keeps Dropping as Manchin, Sinema Deal Him Another Big Blow
Cause: Thursday morning, Old Joe Biden said he supports suspending the Senate filibuster rule so his fellow Democrats can enact their national abortion on demand law.
Effect:
Oh.
Here’s an excerpt from that story at Mediaite:
Arizona Democrat, Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ), poured cold water Thursday on the Democrat’s hopes to codify Roe v. Wade by reforming the Senate filibuster to get around the 60-vote threshold otherwise needed to pass such legislation.
CNN anchor Ana Cabrera reported that Sinema’s office told her, that despite President Joe Biden supporting such an effort, the senator “is still opposed to gutting the filibuster on any topic including on reproductive rights.”
Sinema’s announcement comes after moderate West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin (D-WV) made a similar comment.
[End]
God Bless Senator Joe Manchin and Senator Kyrsten Sinema. God Bless them both. They, along with the conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, have saved our country from complete socialist takeover during the past 18 months, and paid a great personal and political price for doing it.
Meanwhile, in London, this was happening:
The oil industry has no idea how fortunate it truly is to have this particular class of lunatics leading its opposition. You just could never make these people up.
Leftist nitwits went wild on Twitter with inflammatory and hyperbolic reactions after Thursday’s Supreme Court decision in the West Virginia v. EPA case, which I detailed in this morning’s Campaign Update.
But no one was more hyperbolic than our favorite fake Indian, Elizabeth Warren:
The planet, according to the most aggressive computer models - which are always wrong - faces a 2 degree temperature rise over the next century. To Fauxcahontas here, that means it is “on fire.”
Try cooking some eggs with that sometime and see how it works out for you.
Good lord.
Our newest Supreme Court justice was sworn in on Thursday, and the Democrat activists in the corrupt news media all gushed:
But hey, wait a minute: How do we know Ms. Jackson is actually this thing called a “woman,” when she herself admits under oath she has no idea how to even define what that word means? Weird.
Today’s Polling News Update: Slidin’ Biden’s approval ratings continued their precipitous drop in the latest Civiqs poll:
31%! Holy moly.
Meanwhile, Old Joe’s main apologist, the incredibly awful Karine Jean-Pierre, is now starting to lose even the most liberal and corrupt media platforms, including Mediaite and Politico:
Here’s an excerpt from that hit piece:
“Her answers have baffled reporters, and even made some of her White House colleagues wince,” they wrote. “She has increasingly found herself sharing the podium or splitting briefings with JOHN KIRBY, who has been taking the lead on foreign policy and at times appears to function as a co-press secretary.”
Amid multiple issues including Ukraine, the Supreme Court overturning the landmark abortion decision Roe v. Wade, inflation and gun violence, Jean-Pierre’s “stumbles in several instances have made her appear underprepared — in moments quickly weaponized by the right.”
They wrote that “while White House reporters love to complain about non-answers from communications officials, many have privately grumbled that when Jean-Pierre does have answers, they are often vague and rarely stray from the pre-written talking points prepared in the binder at the podium.”
[End]
As I noted last week, it often seems as if this White House goes out of its way to find and hire the most unqualified and ineffective people it can find to appoint to its administrative positions. Ms. Jean-Pierre is just the latest in a long line of examples, and one of the very worst.
Today’s Oil Price Update: In case you were becoming optimistic about the recent slight drop in gasoline prices at the pump, ZeroHedge reports you might want to cool your heels just a bit:
Ouch.
Here’s an excerpt from that story:
The CNN article then goes into a lengthy analysis of what is behind the current gasoline crisis (those with lots of time to kill can read it here) and also tries to explains, without actually saying it, that the only thing that can fix the problem is more supply, but - as we first explained - this can't and won't happen because green fanatics and socialist environmentalists will never agree to boosting output.
Which brings us to the punchline: as CNN's Phil Mattingly writes, "instead of managing an economy in the midst of a natural rotation away from recovery and into a stable period of growth, economic officials are analyzing and modeling worst-case scenarios like what the shock of gas prices hitting $200 per barrel may mean for the economy."
Well, in an article titled "Give us a plan or give us someone to blame", this seems like both a plan, and someone to blame.
[End]
Yikes. Sadly, modeling for $200 oil prices seems like a perfectly rational endeavor at this point. That’s the reality of the Biden presidency, and just a part of its plan.
That is all.
OMG Brandon & his crew of Communists are doing everything possible to sink our economy! At first I attributed their bad decisions on stupidity & the majority are stupid but now it’s obvious destruction is their goal!
