President Joe Biden declared that he would take executive action to further his climate agenda in a Wednesday speech if Congress didn’t act, warning of an international environmental catastrophe just as China ramps up coal production and continues to increase its emissions.

There have been forty-six presidents of the United States. Among them have been the grossly incompetent (James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson), the unabashed racists (Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson), the scandal-ridden (Warren Harding, Richard Nixon) and a duplicitous Marxist ideologue (Barack Obama). But none has been as susceptible and acquiescent to political blackmail as has Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.

Leading Biden administration officials are debating ways to advance the president’s agenda, and the president is prepared to announce a number of new initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reported the Post, citing three people familiar with the matter. The internal discussions come after Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia told party leaders last week that he opposes the plans to advance this month’s significant economic package that includes billions of dollars toward slashing carbon emissions and promoting green energy.

“End of the quote. Repeat the line.” Such is the senescence of the 46th president of the United States that when he is not flat-out misspeaking, it is because he is reading the cues as he stumbles through the see-Jane-run prose of White House speechwriters. Like life at 79, the teleprompts come at you fast.
We must bear this in mind when assessing how consequential it may be when the putative leader of the free world misspeaks. We gasp, yes, but it is probably not as damaging as one might fear.

Carlson predicted the scramble would start the Wednesday after the 2022 midterm elections. “You have all the power,” he told the audience, “you can decide who represents you and on the basis of what issues.” Politicians are “very simple organisms,” he quipped, but all they want to do is “win elections.”

Joe Biden who campaigned to shut down the fossil fuel industry, and carried through on that promise through his stroke-of-a-pen shutdown of the Keystone XL pipeline and issuance of some 30 regulations to hamper domestic fuel production, has stuck to his policy like a jackass to glue. He’s made America energy-dependent again, in a major shift from its previous status as a fully self-sufficient energy exporter. He says it’s all about going green.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson asserted Friday that the circumstances surrounding President Joe Biden’s dwindling mental capacity are far worse as the man was “like a small child” on the campaign trail until he was given “pills before every public appearance.”
Broadcasting from Des Moines, Iowa where he was a featured speaker at The Family Leadership Summit, the host led off “Tucker Carlson Tonight” with candor related to the worsening disaster of the Biden administration that he called a “direct result of [Democrats] lying.”

There’s more in the thread.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) ruffled feathers with a potshot at a couple of President Joe Biden’s more recent speech blunders earning her both the ire of the humorless mob and a swift report to the FBI and Secret Service for “dangerous” threats to “the life of the president.”

The New York Times has once again suggested Joe Biden may be too old to run for re-election in a piece that revealed the president now ‘shuffles,’ and that staffers are fearful he may trip over wires.
Biden, 79, has experienced a decline in energy levels, with some aides alleging he ‘often shuffles’ while walking, prompting fears ‘he will trip on a wire.’ He also often stumbles over his words during public speaking events.
Staffers told the left-leaning New York Times they find themselves holding their breath during Biden’s speaking engagements to see if he makes it to the end without a blunder.
You have to wonder about the timing of this piece. Is it related to the Hunter Biden 4CHAN leak?

Just two years ago, the National Endowment for the Arts made only one grant to an art project that promised to address the issue of climate change, awarding $25,000 to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art to commission work informed by “research on the Earth’s dissolving permafrost layer.”
During the last two years, the federal agency has provided $1,369,000 to fund some 40 climate-focused projects. The 29 such grants approved for fiscal year 2022 include support for multidisciplinary artist Hajra Waheed’s collaboration “with researchers and organizers on issues such as land sovereignty and food and climate justice”; development of a Baltimore Center Stage production titled, “A Play for the Living in a Time of Extinction”; and a grant to the Dance Exchange in Takoma Park, Maryland, to use “movement and storytelling to explore the ways different landscapes and communities are navigating climate change.”
Never mind the prospect of reins on executive climate action in light of the Supreme Court’s stinging regulatory rebuke last week: These art projects are one small piece of an explosion of climate spending since President Biden called during his first days in office for a “whole-of-government approach to combating the climate crisis.” In response, every department, bureau, and agency has climate-related budget lines, responding to Biden’s mandate by claiming a slice of the climate pie.

At an Independence Day barbecue, crises cascading around him, Joe Biden declared that he had “never been more optimistic about America than I am today”.
Of course there were challenges, grave ones, the US president told the military families assembled on the south lawn of the White House. And the nation had a troubling history of taking “giant steps forward” and then a “few steps backwards”, he acknowledged.

Scrolling through the sea of posts, pictures, and memes online can make conservatives feel like they’re outcasts. Endless screeds claiming anyone to the right of Mao is a bigoted and hateful person make up most of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. But a growing cadre of conservative creatives is trying to make its mark online and prove the left doesn’t have a monopoly on the digital world.
