“If my record was as bad as this White House’s record, I’d probably give my staff blow, too.” Sen. John Kennedy, (R-LA.)

In the Blame Game, all roads lead to Joe Biden.
Like the bad seed that he is, nothing has gone right since he became president.
How he ran his game in Delaware, and while a negligible player in Congress in the past didn’t matter, until he became president. But now, as president, his reach has exceeded his grasp, and not in a good way.
You can’t swing a cat nowadays without seeing what Joe has destroyed.
An obvious one is the Marlon Brando/On the Waterfront destruction of his son, Hunter.
In the movie, Brando, a prize fighter, was told to take a dive by his brother, a mob boss.
Without Joe, Hunter, like Brando’s character, “could have been a contender,” instead of a bag man.
Without Joe, Hunter could have “been somebody, instead of “a bum.”
That’s the very least Joe could have done. As Brando put it, "You was my brother, Charlie. You shoulda' looked out for me a little bit."
And then there's the rest of us. Joe has stumbled and mumbled. Berated and traded our country’s integrity.
This past week he skipped an evening dinner event with NATO leaders in Lithuania because he “had a lot of work to do,” in Lithuania…
And he embarrassed our country, mindlessly breaking cultural protocols during his visit with U.K.’s King Charles.
Things like these things are an everyday occurrence with Joe. And Kamala is no better.
It is what makes it impossible to use the Constitution to retire what his staff calls "Ol’ Yeller."
Last week, Kamala attended The Essence Festival in New Orleans, an annual event featuring panels, parties and performances by black performers, sponsored by Essence, a magazine aimed at black women.
As vice president and a much-touted woman of color, Kamala was asked her opinion on culture. Here’s her response.
“Culture…It is a reflection of our moment and our time. Right?
“And present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment, and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment. That is a reflection of joy.
“Because, you know, it comes in the morning. We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection to how people are experiencing life.
“And I think about it in that way, too."
I know...
The Festival was the perfect place for her. With Al Sharpton and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Both intellectual giants.
And like Oprah, who also attended, the threesome like to criticize America, the hand that has overfed them.
Oprah’s commencement speech at Tennessee State University this year was Super Woke.
In it the billionaire media celebrity encouraged graduates to tackle what she thinks are this country’s many problems: Systemic racism. Climate change. A corrupt Supreme Court. Attacks on LGTBQ people.
Fatima Mohammed did something similar as the student-commencement speaker at City University of New York School of Law this year.
“Like many of you, I chose CUNY…one of the very few legal institutions created to recognize that the law is a manifestation of white supremacy that continues to oppress and suppress people in this nation and around the world.”
She went on to call the NYPD fascists, and concluded with, “May the rage that fills this auditorium, dance in the hallways of our elementary schools, in our home villages of Sheikh Jarrah, Aden, Yemen, Haiti, Puerto Rico and the Philippines."
Loosely translated, she ain't from here.
“May it be the fuel for the fight against capitalism, racism, imperialism and Zionism around the world.”
Sharpton, Adams and Oprah don’t say it exactly that way, but the general tone sounds the same. To me.
In the end, none of these people “of color” do anything that would help people of color.
Instead they are happy to continue to be fat and happy, courtesy of the U.S. of A.
And to bitch and moan about how tough they still have it, after all these years.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
