Expiration Date Check: ‘I Think Joe Biden Is Going to Be an Important President and a Very Good One’
What a difference a year makes. But, then again, the truth really was crystal clear at the time the quote was issued. (H/T to OffThePress.com):
Joe Biden’s disastrous 48 hours
It’s hard to imagine a worse 48-hour stretch for any first-year president than the one Joe Biden endured over the past two days. …
Add it all up: The economy is crippled by high prices and not-so-transitory inflation. The president is rebuffed (again) by a member of his own party on a major initiative. And then his vaccine mandate is struck down by a 6-3 decision in the Supreme Court. …
It is stunning to see this president drop this far, particularly when considering that this administration had a gale force breeze at its back with the House and Senate in Democratic control. It’s the straight flush of power in Washington. …
The hill that Biden decided to die on was voting rights, with the president’s speechwriters going full hyperbole in portraying anyone who is for voter identification as Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis. …
It’s hard to see how Biden turns these numbers around. He’s fighting inflation, which isn’t transitory. Crime, particularly in major cities, continues to get worse…
But actually, these recent admissions of realized doom and gloom aside, the real amazing thing is that things aren’t even worse at this point. Given the die that was cast in the first twelve hours, and reinforced over the first 36 hours, and then further solidified over the first week, there was only one direction for this ship of state to go…and circling the drain was the charted path.
And the ignoble pest of a demagogue turned hollow carcass being used as a puppet by anti-republican, anti-liberty, anti-American forces proved to be the most valuable…and “important“…tool for their job. But, as far as presidents go, this one is certainly not, and was never going to be, “a very good one.” Only fools thought otherwise.
Good day.

I would be curious to know who took him off, and when, and why.
The other thing they said later was MI5 had visited his home within the last few weeks.
The guy was in jail for 10 years.
This is the NGO the trained the rabbi separate from the FBI. I’ve always wanted to donate to synagogue security and here it is.

Everybody in a synagogue should have a revolver.
This should become a consistent theme over the next three years*:
