Send the Incompetent Brass a Message: Don’t Enlist

 

Sometimes they need to learn by pain. There are only two ways we patriots can force our failed military leadership to learn its lesson until 2024, when we get a real president in office who is not bedazzled by medals and impressed by a bunch of guys who had two decades to exterminate a crew of fanatical banditos and failed. We can starve the brass of treasure, but expecting the Republicans to impose that penalty in the wake of the Afghanistan debacle is – to evoke another famous failure of planning and arrogance – a bridge too far. Or we can starve them of blood – our kids’ blood, which for too long has been put at unnecessary risk by unserious military senior leaders consumed by unserious elite fetishes like “white rage” and “climate change” at the same time the Chi Coms are seriously prepping a slaughter of our troops that you can barely conceive of.

Don’t enlist or recommend others enlist, not until there is a real change in the collective mind of the military leadership that indicates that they have learned their lesson. But words cannot be enough – we need to see the same kind of massive convulsion and reform that we saw after the last Democrat/Pentagon betrayal in Vietnam. My generation of officers learned from the guys who rebuilt a ruined military, torn by careerism, lethargy, internal dissension, and the incorporation of society’s low standards in an effort to entice recruits with bribes instead of offering the rigors of service. During the Gulf War, I watched those reformers move a half million Americans (including me and my heavily armed carwash platoon) halfway around the world to the middle of a desert and then sweep an entire national army off the battlefield in 100 hours. But that was 30 years ago. This year, I watched our military bumble our way out of a disaster of our own making, leaving behind our citizens and our credibility while bringing home 13 heroes in metal cases.

The brass, insulated and utterly unaccountable, won’t learn until they see the steady stream of patriots dry up and stop, not because the next generation of warriors is unpatriotic but precisely because they love their country and will sacrifice their dreams of serving her in order to force this desperately-needed change.

We need to go on strike. We need to go on strike against a failed establishment that concerns itself with trendy nonsense, fails in spectacular fashion by making mistakes (like giving up Bagram) that a E1 recruit or a precocious third-grader could anticipate, and that eschews any accountability.

Who has been fired for this fiasco? Well, there was that Marine lieutenant colonel fired for pointing out no one had been held accountable. No one else. Enough. If Milley and Austin are in, keep your kids out. They need to learn. 

The alternative is for our Republican reps to force change by cutting the military budget, which is a disaster in and of itself. But that’s not going to happen anytime soon, despite being one of the rare times the party out of power has some leverage, here by working with progressives who want to cut the budget because they hate the military since it defends America. But, again, that is not going to happen anytime soon – it was hard enough for even a critical mass of our reps in the GOP to get past their forever war mindset. I know how hard it was to stop being a reflexive hawk – I was one of them, and even after two deployments it was still a major 180 to get my head around the idea that maybe we don’t need to be everywhere all the time.

We, the slice of America that supplies the critical mass of the men and women who make up our military, have got to do this ourselves. After all, the military is, largely, us. You don’t see recruiting stations in Beverly Hills – you see them in places the swells don’t go lest they be soiled by contact with those Jesus gun people who like flags and believe there are only two genders. The military is us, and if we go on strike, the brass has to take notice. There aren’t enough gender studies princesses and other cultural detritus to fill the ranks. We need a strike. We need it now, not to destroy the military but to save it.

Now, the strike is already underway from the inside. Those of us vets with a high profile have been inundated with communications from all levels of the military about how morale is at the rock bottom due to the total absence of real leadership at the top. Careerism is rampant. Wokeism has replaced warfighting. And the idiotic vaccine mandate – for a healthy population whose real risks come from suicide and terrorism enabled by inept planning – is going to lead to a flood of trained, experienced troops leaving and taking their training and experience with them. That talent and skill will take years to replace; the generals and admirals have squandered it. 

In the next war with China, if this decline continues, the first day will see a bloodbath that will stagger your imagination. The Chinese are serious. They are not playing, and they have no time for frivolous nonsense about trans soldiers and the scary, scary weather. They will sweep the seas of our ships, wipe out our land installations, and plant their flag over the whole western Pacific.

I am sure, though, that the mainstream media will dutifully pass on the excuses du jour and that it will all be attributed to Trump, patriarchy, and anti-vaxxers.

Don’t play. Don’t sign up. Not until this nonsense stops.

I’m not alone. Vets across the country are recommending that young people put off or forgo service altogether and not be cannon fodder for bemedaled clowns. Brace for the backlash – the trash response will be that we’re unpatriotic, that we hate America. Whatever. We are utterly indifferent to what these incompetents think. They need to go.

This is not what we wanted. We loved the military we served in, and are proud of being a part of it. For decades I recommended enlistment, wholeheartedly and eagerly. I still hear from folks I swore in. So, calling for a strike breaks our hearts. 

Now, there will be some that hear what I say and enlist anyway. To them, I say that I am bursting with pride. We patriots will always support our troops – always. But their current leadership? They need to be overseeing a snow cone operation at some radar station outside Nome, Alaska.

Only a strike has a chance to break this paradigm of failure prior to the inauguration of a new and competent commander in chief. If it does, it is worth it. And the military can come back. It seemed to become a joke overnight because, as a hierarchical organization, the troops do what the commander checks. Our commanders decided their priority was currying favor with their civilian masters and reading Ibram X. Kendi rather than building war-winning forces and reading Sun Tzu. Change the mindset, start checking warfighting capability, and the military will shape up. I just hope it can do it before the Chinese pounce on America.

Joe Biden's Culture of Death

 

On Sunday morning at the Dallas area’s respected Prestonwood Baptist Church, Pastor Jack Graham delivered two strong—really electrifying—messages before he preached this week’s sermon.

First, he asked that the lights be brought up in Prestonwood’s cavernous auditorium so that churchgoers on hand and those watching online could see and pray over 13 large American flags draped over rows of pews all over the main floor and in the balcony, honoring the 13 fallen heroes killed in the humiliating military defeat engineered by President Joe Biden. It was a heartbreaking and powerful reminder that we owe so very much to young people who enlist in our Armed Forces, fulfilling the Scripture (John 15:13) that “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Second,  Pastor Graham took a few moments to single out members of the Texas legislature who this week finalized SB8—Texas’s “Heartbeat Bill”—the law banning abortions six weeks into a pregnancy anywhere in the Lone Star State and which lets any citizen bring a lawsuit against abortion providers who violate the ban and provides cash bounties of at least $10,000 (plus legal fees and costs) to encourage such litigation.

Praising the bill which was signed by Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX), Jack Graham observed that the implications of this landmark legislation will be felt far beyond Texas.

“We’re going to turn America from a culture of death into a culture of life,” he declared.

Of course, Pastor Graham’s words stood in stark contrast to Joe Biden… who flatly declared the Texas Heartbeat Law to be “un-American” and he ordered—think about this for a hot minute—his Gender Policy Counsel (???) to “launch a whole-of-government effort to take action to counteract the Texas law.”  When was the last time in American history that there was a “whole-of-government effort” on anything apart from World War II?

I’m no theologian, so far be it for me to question Biden’s oft-professed Catholicism which he says took root in parishes and parochial schools in Pennsylvania and Delaware. He even crowed about his faith on the very first page of his 2007 memoir Promises to Keep…noting it was his working class Irish Catholic family that shaped him as a man.  If so, the nuns and priests at those parochial schools must have not noticed that Joe was out battling his imaginary foe Corn Pop at the swimming pool the day they taught the lessons about the Catholic church’s reverence for life.

Why is Biden—only the second Catholic besides John F. Kennedy ever to serve as President of the United States—now the de facto poster child for the culture of death in America? Why is he refusing to answer hard questions about his traitorous, unforgivable disaster in Afghanistan that led to the deaths of those 13 heroes honored Sunday at Prestonwood Baptist Church? Tone-deaf Biden says it was “tough” meeting with the families of the 13 dead servicemen and women. Apparently not quite as tough as what the families themselves endured at Dover Air Force Base as Biden offered his “condolences” by reminding each of them that his son Beau “also died.”  (Earth to Joe: Beau Biden served in Iraq, returned home safely, was elected Attorney General of Delaware and then, tragically, succumbed after a battle with cancer. He wasn’t needlessly killed by a suicide bomber as some jerk in the White House tried to engineer a photo-op-moment on the upcoming 20^th Anniversary of 9/11.)

Which brings us back to the Texas Heartbeat Law. Biden, virtually all Democrats, and their accomplices in mainstream media are now up-in-arms because the split U.S. Supreme Court—on a 5-4 ruling—refused to “block” the Texas law from going into effect. Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are all in favor of the rule of law until a decision they don’t like occurs. Then they roll out everything from hysterical rantings about “coat hanger abortions in back alleys” to renewing calls to pack the Supreme Court with extra Justices until it votes their way. (Google “FDR Court Packing” to see how well that worked out for President Roosevelt.)

But to Biden, Planned Parenthood, nutters like Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin and MSNBC’S Nicole Wallace—who clumsily pretends not to know who South Dakota governor Krist Noem is while reading a news item about Noem proposing a “copycat” of the Texas Heartbeat Law in her state—abortion trumps everything else. And they love parroting the line that restricting the right to kill the unborn in Texas “will disproportionately disadvantage black women who have most abortion in the state,” while failing to acknowledge the obvious corollary that SB8 will be a huge advantage to unborn black babies who now will have a real opportunity to experience the wonder of life rather than be sacrificed to Joe Biden’s culture of death.

I try not to spend a lot of time on social media, because so much of it is fringe material to verify or simply moronic opinions by simpletons. But one image caught my eye in the furor following enactment of the Texas Heartbeat Law.  It was a photo of a woman protesting the legislation, waving her arms while wearing a t-shirt which read: “I’ve had 21 abortions!”  

My immediate thought was that Kamala Harris better watch her back before Biden dumps her and adds that sad kook wearing the t-shirt as his new Veep.

Woke Companies Must Wake Up on ESG

 

Growing numbers of companies, banks, universities and investment houses are adopting Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards and disclosure rules. They’re pressured to do so by activists, legislators and regulators. Many expect to get rich via taxpayer-subsidized “renewable” energy projects.

Nearly all hope to “greenwash” their reputations, by claiming they’ll “make the world a better place,” by reducing fossil fuel emissions, and thus planetary temperatures and extreme weather events.

They recently got a boost from the US House of Representatives. It voted 215-214 party-line to pass a bill supporting Securities and Exchange Commission plans to impose new ESG rules requiring publicly traded companies to disclose “climate risks” caused by oil, gas and coal production and use. Some think ESG climate claims and misconduct could receive greater SEC scrutiny, though that seems unlikely.

Woke organizations need to wake up to climate, ESG and renewable energy realities.

The ever-more-hysterical climate and weather claims have been roundly debunked by Dr. Roy Spencer, Gregory Wrightstone, Marc Morano, Steven Koonin and others. But what’s truly outrageous about ESG is the way it studiously ignores the massive, widespread damage inflicted by pseudo-renewable energy.

Wind and sunlight certainly are clean, renewable and sustainable. But harnessing their highly dispersed, unpredictable, weather-dependent energy to meet humanity’s huge and growing energy needs absolutely is not.That requires lands and raw materials that are anything but renewable– using fuels and processes that are absolutely not clean, green, ecological or sustainable. Because they fail to recognize this, ESG programs are dishonest, even fraudulent – and must be reformed or scrapped.

Wind, solar and battery land and raw material requirements are astronomical. Onshore wind turbines require nine times more metals and minerals per megawatt than a modern combined-cycle gas power plant. One onshore 3-MW turbine foundation needs 600 cubic yards (1,500 tons) of concrete, plus rebar.

Offshore wind requires 14 times more materials per MW. Just the 2,100 850-foot-tall offshore turbines (30,000 megawatts) that President Biden wants to install by 2030 would require110,000 tons of copper, plus millions of tons of steel, aluminum, fiberglass, cobalt, rare earth metals and other materials.

At an average of 0.44% copper in ore deposits worldwide, the copper alone would require mining and processing25 million tons of ore, after removing 40 million tons of overburden to reach the ore bodies!

Add in materials for solar panels, more onshore and offshore wind turbines, backup battery systems, electric vehicles, transmission lines, and all-electric home heating and cooking systems – to run the entire USA, Europe and world – and the “green energy transformation” would require hundreds of billions of tons of metals, minerals and plastics, trillions of tons of ores, trillions of tons of overburden, and thousands of mines, processing plants and factories. Nearly all these operations employ fossil fuels.

America’s laws and attitudes make mining in the United States nearly impossible, even to support ESG-certified “green” energy facilities. That means most mining and processing will be done in Africa, Asia and Latin America, increasingly by Chinese companies. The manufacturing is done increasingly in China, which is why that country is building more coal-fired power plants every month.

Pseudo-clean-energy activities utilize hazardous chemicals and release toxic pollutants. They require vast volumes of water, often in the world’s most water-deprived regions. They cause acid mine drainage, create mountains of waste rock, and often result in vast “lakes” of toxic chemicals from refining the ores. Most are conducted under almost nonexistent pollution control, mined-land reclamation, endangered species, workplace safety, child and slave labor, and fair wage rules.

Cobalt mining already involves 40,000 African children, as young as four! Many Chinese solar panels are made with Uighur forced labor. ESG “green” aspirations would multiply this slavery many times over.

These travesties occur overseas – out of sight and out of mind – letting ESG activists and profiteers make incessant false claims that fossil fuel replacement energy is clean and virtuous. But when wind, solar and battery facilities are installed, adverse consequences will reverberate across the United States.

Hundreds of millions of acres of scenic, wildlife habitat and coastal areas would be impacted; millions of birds, bats, tortoises and other wildlife displaced, maimed and killed. And when their short productive lives are finished, billions of turbine blades, solar panels and batteries will be sent to gigantic landfills, because they cannot be recycled; their toxic metals and chemicals could leach out into soils, streams and groundwater. The same will happen in Europe, Canada, Australia and elsewhere.

Even on windy days, Mr. Biden’s 2,100 monstrous offshore turbines won’t meet New York State peak summertime electricity needs. Meeting just US coastal city needs would require tens of thousands of turbines. Dredge-and-fill operations associated with installing them would smother mollusks and other benthic species. Vibration noises would harm whale and porpoise navigation and communication. Their mere presence would create major safety issues for aircraft and fishing, naval and commercial vessels.

A single industrial solar facility near Fredericksburg, Virginia required clearcutting thousands of acres of forest habitat. Solar installations proposed for the American Southwest would blanket millions of acres of desert habitats. Dominion Energy is planning solar facilities on Virginia acreage totaling one-fourth of Delaware. Wind and solar operations would threaten or eradicate dozens of bird and other species that environmentalists have utilized for decades to stop drilling, fracking and pipeline projects.

Connecting far-flung wind, solar and battery installations to industrial centers and urban areas would require thousands of miles of new transmission lines – and still more steel, copper and concrete. Battery fires have already destroyed electric vehicles and homes. Imagine huge warehouses filled with thousands of battery modules erupting into enormous, uncontrollable conflagrations.

Biodiesel projects have already destroyed important orangutan habitats, and thousands of acres of US hardwood forests have been turned into wood pellets for Britain’s Drax Power Plant.

Threatened, endangered, migratory and marine species must be protected –wherever mining, processing and manufacturing take place, and wherever “renewable” energy installations are contemplated. Human health impacts from infrasound and light flicker must guide decisions on how close to homes and businesses wind turbines may be installed.

Reformed ESG rules – call them Environment and Human Rights (EHR) principles – must require that all these issues are addressed for every wind, solar, battery, transmission and biofuel proposal.

People must know in advance how many turbines, panels, batteries and power lines are contemplated; how many tons of metals, minerals, concrete and plastics they will require; where those materials will come from; under what environmental, pollution, safety, wage and child labor standards. Companies and government agencies must certify that supply chains are free from child or slave labor.

Project-specific, comprehensive and cumulative US and global environmental studies must be conducted before any projects are approved, and must include regular, independent reviews of bird, bat, reptile, whale, porpoise and other wildlife displacements, injuries and deaths. Project studies must fully assess all environmental, human health, human rights and other impacts worldwide, and must not be fast-tracked.

These reality-based EHR principles will help ensure that any “green future” is founded on ethical standards that address all human and ecological consequences, and actually do make the world a better place. They can also help guide SEC investigations and prosecutions for ESG misconduct and fraud – and help spur much-needed mining in the United States, to reduce our reliance on China, Russia, Taliban Afghanistan and other adversarial countries for critical and strategic minerals.

Picture This: The 2024 GOP Dream Team

 

NEW YORK — President Joe Biden’s total collapse of leadership makes former President Donald J. Trump look better by the hour. Those who voted him out of office because they didn’t like his Twitter feed should burst with pride. They should be thrilled with what they bought with their lack of focus on public policy and obsession with personality quirks:

•A strategic, diplomatic, and humanitarian catastrophe in Afghanistan

•The erasure of the U.S.-Mexico “border”

•An attendant invasion by (so far) 1,035,352 illegal aliens — many of them with COVID-19 — on Biden’s watch

•A surge in homicides, assaults, and other violent crimes in Democrat-run cities

•The sudden and deliberate rejection of American energy independence

•The resurrection of 1970s-style inflation

•The imposition of society-splitting Critical Race Theory

•And much more — nearly all of it dreadful

If the November 2020 face-off were held today,Trump would trounce Biden 43 percent to 37 percent, according to an August 18 Rasmussen Reports survey.

“Among voters who say they voted for Biden in last year’s election, 12% now say they regret their vote,” Rasmussen explained via Twitter. “By comparison, only two percent (2%) of Trump voters now regret their vote.”

If Trump seeks the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, it almost surely will be his for the asking. I proudly will support him in that effort, especially after Biden’s Afghan mega-disaster confirms that having a reputed bully in the White House sometimes comes in handy.

But what if Trump, who will be 78 at the next presidential election, bequeathed the GOP standard to a new generation of Republican leadership? If so, visualize this 2024 Dream Team:

•President of the United States – Governor Ron DeSantis (R – Florida)

•Vice President of the United States – U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R – South Carolina)

•Secretary of State – Robert C. O’Brien (former National Security Advisor)

•Secretary of Defense – Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R – California) (House GOP leader)

•Secretary of the Treasury – Steve Forbes (Veteran free-market advocate; 1996 and 2000 GOP presidential candidate)

•Attorney General – John Yoo (U.C. Berkeley law professor; DOJ alumnus)

•Secretary of Veterans Affairs – John Ullyot (Former spokesman for VA and NSC)

•United Nations Ambassador – Dr. Monica Crowley (Conservative national security scholar and Treasury Department alumna)

•Director of National Intelligence – Ric Grenell (Former Acting DNI)

•Director of Central Intelligence – K.T. McFarland (GOP foreign-policy luminary)

•Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation – Ted Ullyot (Former DOJ chief of staff)

•Federal Reserve Chairman – Larry Kudlow (Legendary free-market economist)

•Director, Office of Management and Budget, Steve Moore – (Free-market advocate, economist, and scholar)

•White House Press Secretary – Candace Owens (Conservative firebrand)

•Speaker of the House – Donald J. Trump (45th President of the United States)

This line-up would generate America First policies while somewhat limiting the Left from foaming at the mouth over Trump’s eccentricities.

DeSantis is much like Trump — conservative, intrepid, and combative — but without the distracting Twitter blasts. He also is the highly successful and popular governor of Florida, which likely spins the über-swingy Sunshine State and its 30 Electoral College votes into the GOP column.

This likely would place the Republican nominees 11.11 percent of the way toward the 270 electoral votes that spell victory. This also would let Team GOP devote vital cash and talent to other battleground states.

Tim Scott’s Palmetto State is non-swingy. As reliable GOP ground, Scott’s home address adds little on the road to 270.

That said, if the Republican ticket includes a well-respected and accomplished black running mate — whose Reaganesque response to Biden’s State of the Union won widespread plaudits — the Democrats’ “Racism! Racism! Racism!” Klaxons will sound hollow, absurd, and laughable. And if the Democrats lose their “Republicans are racist” truncheon, they’ve got nothing.

Scott’s stirring personal story and presence on the ticket could win Republicans perhaps 15 percent of the black vote, just three points above the 12 percent that Trump won last fall. If DeSantis-Scott actively stump in black neighborhoods, and the GOP builds on Trump’s much-welcome outreach to black voters, Republicans reasonably could win at least 20 percent of ballots cast by black Americans.

This would be curtains for Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, or virtually anyone else who carried the Donkey banner. And those same black citizens who pulled the Elephant lever for president might do so down ballot.

This development would be smashing for GOP candidates for Senate, House, governor’s mansions, and state legislatures. Democrats know this and are terrified by this prospect.

Their despicable defense mechanism: Push Critical Race Theory, cleave America along racial lines, scare blacks with spooky tales about white-nationalist bogeymen, and hope that this will send them screaming into Democrats’ evil arms.

Revolting.

Making Kevin McCarthy Defense Secretary would place a competent and poised leader atop the Pentagon. This also would reward and challenge him for his seven years of service as chief House Republican.

This also would create a vacancy that Trump could fill. The former president either could run for a safe seat in the House or simply get elected as speaker by a majority of House members, presumably Republicans.

There is no constitutional requirement that the speaker be a member of the House, although electing a non-congressman to that post would be unprecedented. No other ex-president has served as House Speaker, although Massachusetts voters elected former President John Quincy Adams to nine terms in the U.S. House, from 1830 to 1846.

This strategy would allow Trump to steer the DeSantis-Scott Make America Great Again agenda through the House.

Speaker Trump also could direct GOP House committee chairmen to investigate Democrat corruption and grotesque incompetence — from the finances of the Biden Crime Family to Biden’s reckless retreat from Afghanistan.

At long last, the House might get to the bottom of Obama-Biden-Hillary’s swap of uranium to Russia in exchange for $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation.

And America finally might learn which members of the Deep State broke the law in their deranged and demented attempt to persecute Trump as a Russian agent and portray his White House as a Kremlin outpost.

Speaker Trump also could leave far-Left House Democrats paralyzed with rage, every time he grabbed the gavel.

Just imagine how hard it would become for representatives Jerry Nadler, Ilhan Omar, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and Maxine Waters to get out of bed in the morning knowing that they would have to watch Speaker Donald J. Trump preside over the U.S. House as a turbocharged Republican majority sent their socialist bills down to ignominious defeat.

Yes, please!

The Troubles with Biden’s Brain

 

Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York got a special Emmy last year for his nauseating daily pandemic press conferences.

So why shouldn’t President Biden win something this year from his Hollywood supporters for his series of wildly untrue Afghanistan speeches about the evacuation of Kabul?

How about something like a special Oscar for “Best Performance by a Confused American President in a Reality TV Series”?

Gov. Cuomo and his sickening ego had to step down, and his phony politically inspired award was revoked by the Emmy people because of the credible groping accusations by nearly a dozen young women who worked for him.

But unfortunately for our future, Biden continues to play the lead role in the Democrat Party’s long-running production of “The Decline and Fall of America.”

He’ll be reading his scripts from a teleprompter, refusing to take tough questions from journalists and pretending he truly believes the lies he’s saying for as long as his guardians think it’s safe to let him out of his basement.

Biden and his brain created a lot of trouble for his floundering administration and his nervous party earlier this week by declaring on TV that the evacuation of Kabul had been a spectacular success.

Unfortunately, however, the whole world, which had been watching in real time, had seen that the “Kabul Airlift” was a tragic screwup, and everyone but Jill and Hunter Biden could see that the Big Guy was either demented or lying, or both.CARTOONS | AF Branco View Cartoon

Everyone saw how Biden’s evacuation fiasco ended up killing 13 U.S. soldiers, stranding an unknown number of Americans and our Afghan allies and gifting the Taliban with tens of billions worth of U.S. military equipment to use or sell.

If the military had not sent in airborne troops to protect the Kabul airport during the airlift, there’s no telling how much worse Biden’s terrible plan would have been.

It was Biden’s own wrongheaded military decisions as commander in chief and his diplomatic deals with the Taliban that turned our long-overdue exit from Afghanistan into a bloody, humiliating and historic catastrophe.

According to Biden’s twisted logic, America is supposed to be safer from terrorists now that the Taliban is in charge of Afghanistan.

Biden congratulating himself for “ending our forever war” and praising himself and his generals for the “successful” exit from Kabul is a sad joke.

It’s like the captain of the Titanic boasting that he got most of the lifeboats in the water without admitting it was his fault that his ship rammed into the iceberg in the first place.

The scariest thing about President Biden, though, is that no matter how dumb, incompetent or addled he is, it’s highly probable that his understudy, the still missing Kamala Harris, would be even worse.

The Democrat Party bosses, who obviously know this is true, have kept her so muzzled and out of sight of the media that I’ve heard reports her laughing face is starting to show up on America’s milk cartons.

But seriously, there’s nothing funny about what’s happened to Biden’s brain. It’s sad to watch it decline in public.

What Old Joe said about the success of the Kabul Airlift was so untrue, and so bonkers, even the Washington Post and most of the faithful Biden press choir (except diehards like MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell) called him out on it.

David’s friendly advice to our poor president is, “Just turn the teleprompter around and let us read what you’re trying to say.”

Biden and his brain have become a serious problem for Democrats, who are terrified of being crushed in next year’s midterms and losing control of Congress.

I don’t want to help the Democrats hold on to their power for one more second, but a smart way to keep the president from saying things that hurt their chances next fall would be to listen to my good friend David Webb, the conservative talk show guy.
