New in PJ Media:
Old Joe Biden has told us that, as bad as gas prices are now, they’re “gonna go up” even more, and he can’t do anything about it. “Can’t do much right now. Russia’s responsible,” he claimed risibly and also asserted with a straight face that “It’s simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy production.” Actually, it is true, and Biden’s handlers are now poised to make matters even worse by racing ahead full throttle with their climate agenda, heedless of the fact that it will cost American taxpayers even more, and in fact much more, than they’re coughing up now.
Old Joe made this clear on Monday on a most significant occasion: a Democratic National Committee Fundraiser. The issues that politicians talk about at fundraisers are the ones you can be sure they’re really serious about and will move on in every way they can to keep the donors happy. Biden began by thanking the assembled wealthy and powerful Leftists “for your commitment to the environment.” Old Joe claimed he had been committed for decades (of course, many say he should be committed now, but that’s another story), asserting that “way back in the ‘80s, I wrote the first climate bill, and it didn’t go very far. We — we had rai- — (coughs) — excuse me — raised consciousness, but it didn’t go very far.”
Given that Joe Biden is a serial liar, there is plenty of reason to doubt that he actually did write the first climate bill, but he is certainly on board now, claiming that climate change “is the existential threat to humanity. And it’s not hyperbole.” As if repetition would make it true, Biden said it again a bit later on in his remarks: “The climate crisis is the existential threat. That’s not hyperbole; it’s a fact.”
Actually, that’s exactly what it is. Norman Rogers, author of Dumb Energy, who spent ten years studying climate change and its scientists, has explained that “Climate change prophecy hangs its hat on computer climate models,” but these models “have gigantic problems.” Kevin Trenberth, who has been in charge of those climate models at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, remarked that none of the climate models “correspond even remotely to the current observed climate” that is actually on earth. Rogers concludes: “The models can’t properly model the Earth’s climate, but we are supposed to believe that, if carbon dioxide has a certain effect on the imaginary Earths of the many models it will have the same effect on the real earth.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Old Joe has been reading up in the Book 1984 for pointers on what to do next,while making it sound good and truthful.
Infidel says
Yeah, 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a how-to book

Whatever one might think about Donald Trump’s views and methods, he came across as on-the-ball, dynamic and competent as a President. Whatever possessed you good people across the pond to sack him in favour of this person who gives every impression of being a retired assistant janitor rescued from a care home, with a failed nursing assistant as a sidekick to match? If this gruesome twosome are really leading the Free World, could someone please stop the planet and I’ll get off now.
Sorry if this offends anyone, so please feel free to insult ‘our’ Boris Johnson as much as you like. In fact since he was actually born in New York, you can take him back as soon as you like. Please?
PRCS says
Yes, he did come across as on-the-ball, dynamic and competent as a President. But–I paraphrase–as former Attorney Barr has noted: he alienated people who coulda/woulda voted for his reelection. How many? Well, perhaps enough that we’re now stuck with Joey Baby and his imbecilic sidekick.

Yes the most honest election in history! When Bush beat Gore in 2000 the left cry like stick pigs having recounts after recounts in one area of Florida. When Trump beat Hillary we had 4 years of Trump is called a Russian agent by MSM and the democratic party ,election fraud accusation with no proof. This last election because of the China flu we had drop off boxes, massive mail in voting ,many election laws in swing states changed at the last minute or even after the election day took place. Now we have a senile angry old man as President and an aging escort girl as vice President.

Oh dear oh dear, and this is ‘democracy’ in action? But it sounds a bit like our mayoral elections some years ago here in London UK when a certain S. Khan made it into City Hall after outdated electors’ lists were ‘mistakenly’ sent to a Conservative-leaning outer borough (losing possible a few thousand votes) and at least one muslim-dominated inner-city borough magically acquired lots of new residents with islamic-sounding names in modest-sized houses, and people conveniently forgot to check it all out. Seems like this sort of thing is becoming a trend.

Jayell, one of the worst things re Boris Johnson is that he was actually very much the *lesser* of two evils–the actively Jihad supporting Jeremy Corbyn would have been much worse.
James Lincoln says
True enough, gravenimage.
But Jeremy Corbyn set a pretty low bar…
Jayell says
What a sad situation this is. It seems like we’re all having to shop around for ‘decent’ politicians in the ‘Pound Shop’ – or 90 cent Store, if you like.

As Gas Prices Skyrocket, Biden Promises He Is Going to Inflict Even More Pain On Us
………………
Yes–part of this *is* on Russia. But between skyrocketing inflation and cutting oil production, prices were *already* going up here before Putin invaded Ukraine.
