A Liar? Duplicitous? A Fraud? Take Your Pick!
The Scarlet Tirade: What It's REALLY All About
Haven't you figured this out yet? It wasn't about saving the soul of our nation. Nah! It had nuttin' to do with that. Nuttin! And it wasn't about democracy, either. Nor was it about free and fair elections or healing or restoring any sense of unity to our country. None of that!
This was once again simply all about a vindictive old man, his monstrous ego and his need to energize his base.
Don't you understand? It's all political and the first rule in politics, as you're going into a campaign is solidify and energize your base. So Biden, who is in his dotage and engenders paltry enthusiasm, had to do something -- anything! -- to arouse his base, such as it is. He's had to get his people worked up -- get them angry; pit them against a concocted enemy; push all their buttons; fuel them for battle. Last night was a grandiose attempt at epic saber rattling. And sadly (but unsurprisingly) the media was complicit in this.
At this point, this is all Joe Biden has. It's the only card he can play. It's not like his presidency can point to any significant positives or any credible list of accomplishes. To the contrary, the current state of affairs is abysmal and leaves him with absolutely no bragging rights whatsoever. He's a desperate old man.
And, it gets worse. He's a desperate old man with nowhere else to go. Politics has been his whole life. It's all he's ever known. There's really no other dimension to him. He's a lifelong windbag with little left but a sputter and not much to show for it. Think about it. It's not like he's ever built a business or hired employees or established a successful brand or written a best selling book or launched a successful media enterprise or become widely known and admired for sensational accomplishments. No way! He's never done any of those things (all of which, by the way, are in the domain of his immediate predecessor). And think about this, too: when he finally did land in the Top Spot, Biden got there by hiding out under the most extraordinary circumstances -- kinda like a self-proclaimed hero who emerged amidst an omnipresent fog of war. "TahDah! I am your new leader!"
How sad. How outrageous! And last night, against a hellish red backdrop that dishonored a treasured national shrine, our beloved country witnessed a pitiful performance that, invoking the soul of the nation, denigrated its sensibility, its decency and its generous heart. Indeed, today Mephisto himself must be embarrassed.
WOW! The Answer We've Been Waiting For!

GOP Moves To Crackdown On NJ Mob Shoplifters
New legislation by Senator Jon Bramnick and Senator Anthony M. Bucco would target flash mob shoplifters who ransack stores and destroy small businesses.

“We’re seeing more and more instances where flash mobs of shoplifters have run through clothing stores, pharmacies, and even a 7-Eleven recently where they smash and grab anything that isn’t bolted down,” said Bramnick (R-21). “If people want to do these crimes, they need to get the message that their next flash mob will be in jail.”
Bramnick and Bucco’s bill creates the third-degree crime of gang shoplifting, which would be punishable by at least a year in jail during which the person would not be eligible for parole.
The senators said the organized looting of stores seems to be happening most in California as a result of the state’s decision not to prosecute most shoplifting crimes in recent years.
Videos of the incidents shared on social media have led to copycat crimes in a growing number of places across the country, including New York City, with groups of looters brazenly entering stores with duffel bags and even suitcases that they fill with stolen goods before leaving.
“We’re seeing a combination of organized criminal gangs and flash mobs planned on social media that have the ability to destroy a business in a matter of minutes,” added Bucco (R-25). “These crimes have the greatest impact on struggling urban communities that already have a hard time attracting and keeping grocery stores and pharmacies to serve their residents. With videos of these incidents widespread on TikTok and social media, New Jersey won’t be safe unless people know they’ll face real jail time for participating.”
The new legislation will be introduced at the next Senate quorum.
