News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
PHILADELPHIA, PA — In a speech tonight, Joe Biden condemned fascism and extremism while also debuting a delightful little mustachioed look.
Reporters oohed and aahed over his fashionable new facial hair look as the president ranted about people he disagrees with needing to be condemned as terrorists in order to fight fascism.
“It’s a good look for him,” said an Entertainment Tonight reporter on the red carpet. “I know they say don’t wear that kind of mustache before Labor Day, but I really think he pulls that off. It’s kind of a classic look – vaguely European, perhaps 1930s or ’40s Germanic, maybe? – really inspired.”
“The one who owns the youth gains the future!” shouted Biden, pounding on his towering lectern as he stood before giant banners lit up in blood red. “To conquer a nation, you must first disarm its citizens!” He got really worked up here, screaming and holding his arm at a 45-degree angle to the sky. Finally, he concluded his speech by defending democracy and condemning fascism with the powerful line, “We must employ the final solution to exterminate those vermin who would oppose our glorious third Republic!”
Go here to read the rest. Leni Riefenstahl envy? Nazi kitsch? Late Soviet Union? The most bizarre American speech I have seen in my lifetime. Utterly barking mad.
Purpose of this declaration of war on the opponents of the Puppetmasters? Let us assume, for the sake of argument, that rationality still exists in some small quantity in the White House. I guess the most charitable interpretation would be that it is an attempt to stir up the base, but only an idiot wouldn’t comprehend that this will stir up the opposition even more. A darker guess is that they are trying to provoke a violent reaction, allowing for a vast crack down on their opponents. They will be disappointed if they are. That would be mad folly indeed, just the type of thing to turn a cold civil war hot. I find it hard to believe, but we live in a time when mad folly seems to be the order of the day.
These people— and I say ‘these people’ because Biden is just their puppet— these people aren’t just corrupt, they’re evil. And they’re not just evil, they’re also insane.
All signs have been pointing to the corrupt, evil, insane party taking a beating in the elections just two months from now. So you’d think they’d dial back their crazy to try and pass for less evil and insane. But they’re shouting their insanity on national TV!
They’re acting like the elections this November aren’t going to make a difference. Is that more of their crazy, or do they know something we don’t?
Republicans will soon be accused of treason; treason punishable by death.
I have talked to many good people who say that they will not vote because it is a waste of time. They are mad enough to make the cold war hot. Many will not say it out loud.
It’s as if Biden handlers have asked:
“How do we keep a decrepit bitter angry dementia patient on track during a speech???”
(Scary.)

I know people who believe everything Biden said in this speech is true … Scary times we live in.
America is in the thrall of evil men and women.
Clinton, it all makes sense when you recognize the fact that “these people” naturally fear and loathe ordinary Americans because they are usurpers, profiteers, and foreign agents.
Sixty or seventy million can’t afford both food and utility bills; since January 2021 140,000 dying of Chinese fentanyl OD’s; 5,000,000 new illegal immigrants bankrupting state, county, municipal governments, hospitals, schools; Americans’ life expectancies decline by one year; school children falling behind; homeless’ drug needles and feces and violent criminals terrorizing major cities, etc.
And hard-working, loan paying, taxpaying Americans are the ENEMY.
We have met the enemy and he is us.
Let’s Go Brandon.
What’s more scary than Biden is the fact that there are so many Americans who aren’t repelled by this speech. But, as PT Barnum said, “you won’t get poor by underestimating… “
What kind of drugs was he on to make him that energetic? He’s usually very slow.
Dalton: Same thing Hitler used when he sent pilots out for one hundred missions without stand down time.
I’ve heard that Hitler himself was also given stimulants. High Hitler.
Quite right. The amount of drugs he took increased with age.
Führer John Gill did it better.
If only they had a good old fashion torch parade with a book burning in the background…
Latter day Fascists lack the showmanship of the original goosesteppers!
The absurd amount of Projection is really starting to wear thin. It’s not working.
Biden isn’t a red background type.
I picture rainbows and unicorns with sparklies, glitter and clad in purple transvestite types for Joe’s backdrop…but not Marines.
Maybe I am being judgmental, but I think that in Habakkuk 2:2-20, the Lord could well have been speaking to the Democrats. Yes, I know Habakkuk wrote those words around the late 7th century BC to Judah in its apostasy as the Assyrian Empire declined and soon God would allow Babylon to punish Jerusalem just as the prophet foretold. But I still think there are lessons here 2600 years later for what Don has elsewhere called the “almost chosen people.”
PS, I used the New Living Translation. There’s a Catholic edition with Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat that has the Deuterocanonicals.
Habakkuk 2
1 I will climb up to my watchtower
and stand at my guardpost.
There I will wait to see what the Lord says
and how he will answer my complaint.
The Lord’s Second Reply
2 Then the Lord said to me,
“Write my answer plainly on tablets,
so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.
3 This vision is for a future time.
It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled.
If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently,
for it will surely take place.
It will not be delayed.
4 “Look at the proud!
They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked.
But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.
5 Wealth is treacherous,
and the arrogant are never at rest.
They open their mouths as wide as the grave,
and like death, they are never satisfied.
In their greed they have gathered up many nations
and swallowed many peoples.
6 “But soon their captives will taunt them.
They will mock them, saying,
‘What sorrow awaits you thieves!
Now you will get what you deserve!
You’ve become rich by extortion,
but how much longer can this go on?’
7 Suddenly, your debtors will take action.
They will turn on you and take all you have,
while you stand trembling and helpless.
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
now all the survivors will plunder you.
You committed murder throughout the countryside
and filled the towns with violence.
9 “What sorrow awaits you who build big houses
with money gained dishonestly!
You believe your wealth will buy security,
putting your family’s nest beyond the reach of danger.
10 But by the murders you committed,
you have shamed your name and forfeited your lives.
11 The very stones in the walls cry out against you,
and the beams in the ceilings echo the complaint.
12 “What sorrow awaits you who build cities
with money gained through murder and corruption!
13 Has not the Lord of Heaven’s Armies promised
that the wealth of nations will turn to ashes?
They work so hard,
but all in vain!
14 For as the waters fill the sea,
the earth will be filled with an awareness
of the glory of the Lord.
15 “What sorrow awaits you who make your neighbors drunk!
You force your cup on them
so you can gloat over their shameful nakedness.
16 But soon it will be your turn to be disgraced.
Come, drink and be exposed!
Drink from the cup of the Lord’s judgment,
and all your glory will be turned to shame.
17 You cut down the forests of Lebanon.
Now you will be cut down.
You destroyed the wild animals,
so now their terror will be yours.
You committed murder throughout the countryside
and filled the towns with violence.
18 “What good is an idol carved by man,
or a cast image that deceives you?
How foolish to trust in your own creation—
a god that can’t even talk!
19 What sorrow awaits you who say to wooden idols,
‘Wake up and save us!’
To speechless stone images you say,
‘Rise up and teach us!’
Can an idol tell you what to do?
They may be overlaid with gold and silver,
but they are lifeless inside.
20 But the Lord is in his holy Temple.
Let all the earth be silent before him.”
Where was the Commandant of the Marine Corps commenting on using two marines as props in what was really a campaign speech for the Democratic Party and Biden’s reelection? Plus it was hate speech. On the other hand remember Gen Milley…..when he whined (and later apologized ) about his presence with President Trump, Mrs. Trump, AG Barr and others in front of the burned St John Church ( federal crime of arson) at Lafayette Sq. Milley complained it was a publicity photo op. This was when the rioters were trying to take down the Gen Jackson statue (federal crimes of destruction of property, rioting, vandalism and attacking officers). The Secret Service at some point relocated the First Family to a bunker because of attempted rioters rushing the White House. I forget how many federal officers were wounded. This was not a photo op it was Trump telling the country and BLM, Antifa that they were safe; the Executive branch had prevailed and torching an historic Christian place of worship would not stand. The arsonist STILL has not been identified and charged.
Despite what Karin St Pierre states this show should not have been funded by taxpayers dollars.
Biden looked like he was in the top most circle of Hell. It was a nightmarish scene. With a few touches of photo brushing it would make a great poster. I’m undecided whether Biden should have horns and a tail, or mustache and armband a la Der Fuhrer
