New in PJ Media:
Practically every day, Old Joe Biden gives us new evidence that he should be relaxing in his taxpayer-funded, walled Delaware beach house and watching Matlock reruns – oh wait, that’s what he is doing most of the time. But nearly every day he shows the world anew that he shouldn’t be doing this while pretending to be president of the United States.
Seldom, however, has he illustrated this in a more spectacular manner than on Wednesday, when he boasted about his efforts to “help keep guns out of the hands of domestic political advisors.” Maybe he was signaling that his political advisors are so angry and frustrated over working for him that they’re contemplating violence, and certainly it’s clear that some of these people aren’t exactly stable. Would you like to see Rachel Levine running around with a pistol? (“Dr. Levine, is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?”) But it’s more likely that Old Joe can’t read off his cue cards anymore, and that talk of continuing this comic opera past January 20, 2025, is even more insane than Leftists usually are.
The White House transcript wonks performed their usual act of walking behind the circus elephant with a dustpan, crossing out “domestic political advisors” and informing us that what the putative president really meant to say was “convicted domestic abusers,” but that just makes things even worse. To get to this particular gaffe, Biden had to change the word order and two of the three words. Sure, “abusers” could be “advisors” when you’re 80 and squinting through the fog of dementia, but reading “political” for “convicted” is a real stretch – unless, of course, you’re accustomed to thinking of politicians as habitual criminals who might one day be convicted of their crimes, and not just Bad Orange Man and his imaginary crimes, either.
The disarmed domestic political advisors were just the beginning. On Thursday, the alleged chief executive spoke at a celebration of Obama’s healthcare train wreck, and in the middle of the presidential blather and blague, a baby started crying. You’d cry, too, if you had to sit through Old Joe stumbling and fumbling his way through the latest concatenation of clichés and propaganda posted on his teleprompter. Affable Lunchbucket Joe stopped to reassure the mother, who was hurrying the crying child out of the room: “That’s all right — we like babies. You don’t have to worry about it. It’s — it’s okay. It’s all right. Matter a [sic] fact, I like babies better than people.”
Biden may be excused for not thinking babies are people. After all, he is indefatigably dedicated not only to forcing every state to keep abortion legal, but even to forcing pro-lifers to pay for abortions. As this barbarity rests upon the anti-science claim that the unborn child is not a human being, maybe Old Joe isn’t sure about the humanity of just-born babies, either.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Phil Copson says
“…communications director Greg Price heard that as “stealing our spine,” and that’s certainly understandable, although it would make a hash of the statement; it isn’t as if Joe has never mumbled incoherent gibberish before. Interpreting it as “steeling” rather than “stealing” makes the statement marginally coherent, although nevertheless strange, as “steel” is hardly commonly used as a verb.”
—————————————————————————————————————————
The actual phrase that the Hocus-Potus may have been grasping for is “to stiffen one’s spine”.
However – and this may be the only time that I defend Biden’s linguistic contortions – “to steel” IS used as a verb, as in “To steel oneself to face an ordeal”. It originally meant not to “steel” oneself mentally as the phrase is now used, but literally, ie – to arm oneself with a steel sword etc.
“Steel yourself” or “Draw steel” are forerunners to “Present arms” / “Lock and load” etc.
To have a steel spine is a recognised phrase applied to the brave. The Northamptonshire Regiment of the British Army is known as “The Steel-Backs” – a nickname dating back to the Peninsular Wars fought in Spain and Portugal against Napoleon. (One of the main roads through Northampton is called “Talavera Way” in remembrance of the regiment’s gallantry at the Battle of Talavera, after which the Duke of Wellington commented that “The battle was certainly saved by…the 48th Regiment.” (I’m sure that JW’s “Wellington” will be pleased to expand on this.))
I expect that FJB picked up on this idiom from a lifetime of hearing people muttering ironically to each other “Steel yourself – here he comes…” each time he enters a room.

Harris is as much of a pretender as Biden is.
Walter Sieruk says
To think that this demented man .Joe Biden, has the power of the United States Presidency in America is a disturbing.
Biden can’t handle national affairs is a reason sensible logical way so how much less is he able to handle international situations of serious concerns.
Proof enough that Joe Biden is feeble Minded is that he can’t hardly even speak a rational statement. For many times, when he speaks, he exposes just how feeble -minded and nonsensical he really is.
For example, one time in a speech Biden said “The old expression ‘Time is money.’ As one computer said ‘If you’re on the train as they say Portal Bridge, you know you better make other plans.’ ”
What an idiot Joe Biden is. It’s horrible that he’s supposed to be “America’s President.”
Walter Sieruk says
Just this last St. Patrick’s Day, Joe Biden was trying to be funny when he said “I might be Irish but I’m not drunk or in jail. “
The St. Patrick’s Day year before he public said, “I might be Irish but I’m not stupid.”
First, many people would strongly disagree that Biden isn’t stupid.
Second, some people might even take offence to such attempted “jokes” by Biden saying that such statements aren’t humorous but in poor taste and inappropriate.
In all fairness, to dummy Joe considering his feeble mentally level and the low intelligence of that demented old man. Such “jokes” are rather whitty for that dimwitted clown.
For as it has been said, “When a donkey flies you don’t blame him for not staying in the air very long.”
Walter Sieruk says
The real “joke” is having that brain dead vegetable/zombie, Joe Biden, masquerading and a real US President.”
Idiot Biden said, “If you’re paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls, off how many pancakes fit in a doghouse ?”

Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden may be best defined as demented of just as in idiot, either definition fits him.
For example, Biden said “America a nation that can be defined in a single word. In the foothills of the Himalaya with Xi Jinping traveling with him 1700 miles.”
Walter Sieruk says
An idiot Joe Biden truly is. For example, senseless Biden declared, “Imagine had the Tobacco industry been immune to prostitute being sued, come on.”
Therefore, the more Joe Biden speaks the more he reveals that he has terrible cognition problems.
So much so that the wise words of Abraham Lincoln easily apply to feeble-minded old Joe.
For Mr. Lincoln had said, “It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.”
Walter Sieruk says
The ancient Greek philosopher Plato wrote “The penalty for refusing to take part in politics is to be ruled men inferior to yourself.”
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden must really be an idiot. So much so that he can’t even get and old saying right
For example, Biden said “Buy a man eat fish, the day, teach man to a life time.”
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden, America’s first brain dead, vegetable or zombie “president.”
John Smith says
Spot on Walter, everything you say here is true.
John Smith says
I’ve nothing against anyone with dementia. but no one with dementia should ever be running a country. Especially when that country is the most powerful country in the world.
Walter Sieruk says
About that babbling idiot,Joe Biden, he’s terrible in handling the US economy and every other important subject.
Biden is guilty of either extreme incompetence or outright treason.
somehistory says
harris is saying she’s ready to run again. Should be running for the hills, but she’s too stupid and arrogant.
The residents of Scranton just want the liar biden to be gone….not to run again.
And if nothing biden said was stupid…holding up nasty pelosi as something to praise, is enough to get him kicked out of any room where people have a moral view, a clear conscience, an honest heart , etc.
nasty nancy is all for ripping apart…”stealing” the spines of unborn babies.
Soon, these ghouls will be calling for the rocks and mountains to cover them over. biden wont need any cue cards or teleprompters for that.
tgusa says
Cmon man. He is a damned idiot, always has been. No joke.
tgusa says
Back in the day Old Joe took french fry behind the gym to give him a salty beat down. Well, that is what I heard but I doubt there is any truth to it.
James Lincoln says
I’m surprised that Karine Jean-Pierre is not attributing Biden’s brain fog to “long Covid”.
OLD GUY says
The American people elected Biden or at least thats what we are told. As brain dead as he is, who is telling him what to do is my question? Our next in line Cackles is not an improvement either. So what do we do?
E T says
Stop all the damn madness. I worked in politics for many years, stood back, and listened to the elected ones. I stayed up until 3:30 am on the last US election night. I would stake my life that the mailin guy was not elected.
That being said, I also read about Event 201, the simulated table top, event put on by Johns Hopkins, the WEF, and the Bill and a Melinda Gates foundation on October 18, 2019. An event that discussed a strategy for a plandemic, ooops pandemic. Then poof we had Covid-19.
October 26, 2022 Belgium – Catastrophic Contagion ——Johns Hopkins Center, WHO and Bill and Belinda Gates Foundation, a table top event with madmen discussing a virus much worse than COVID -19, coming soon that will kill many children and young adults.
Please sports fans, keep your eye on the ball. Obama wants you vaccinated.
