This video from 1988 is well worth 4+ minutes of your time for several reasons.

The Joe Biden of 32 years ago is a stark contrast to the doddering old man we see today.  It is really startling to see how animated and emphatic he was back then.  The extent of his mental deterioration is made vividly clear.

Equally vivid is the extent of his perfidiousness, his utter lack of character and willingness to lie about his life.  Because he continues to lie about himself today, it is clear that he has not changed a bit from the defects of character that caused him to withdraw in shame from the quest for the nation's highest office.

This segment from Connie Chung's CBS Evening News, back when the MSM were not mindless propaganda outlets for the Democrats, shows Biden delivering lines stolen from British left-wing Labor politician Neil Kinnock, followed by Kinnock delivering those same lines before Biden stole them.  It is quietly hilarious.

There is no reason why Joe Biden should be tolerated as a presidential candidate when he proved himself to be such an untrustworthy scoundrel that he withdrew in shame.

Delphi Workers: Joe Biden Had 7 Years as Vice President to Restore Our Pensions but Did Nothing

Delphi workers who had their pensions slashed during the Obama-Biden administration’s auto bailout say Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden had seven years as vice president to represent their interests but chose not to.

In 2009, as part of the Obama-Biden administration’s taxpayer-funded bailout of General Motors (GM), the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) terminated the pension plans of about 20,0000 non-unionized Delphi workers. In some cases, workers had their pensions gutted by as much as 75 percent.

A federal report in 2013 detailed that the Delphi workers would likely have their pensions cut by an estimated $440 million. Meanwhile, GM topped off unionized Delphi workers’ pensions at a cost of about $1 billion.

After President Donald Trump’s administration confirmed that he is weighing plans to restore the Delphi workers’ slashed pensions, Biden changed his tune during a campaign stop in Alliance, Ohio, where he said the workers “deserve the pension” after saying in 2012 that the workers “did fine” in the auto bailout.

Members of the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association (DSRA) said they are open to hearing what Biden would do as president to restore their pensions, considering he did not act over the course of seven years as vice president.

“We agree with what Mr. Biden said in Alliance. We do deserve our pensions — the full, earned amount we were promised and planned to receive in our senior years,” DSRA’s Chuck Cunningham said in a statement:

Then Vice-President Biden sung a different tune in May 2012, when he was campaigning for reelection. Biden told a different TV reporter, “We were able to protect the hourly workers. Some salaried workers got hurt.” [Emphasis added]

The Obama/Biden Administration had seven years to correct the injustice and horrible damage that was done to the salaried retirees, our families and our communities when our pension plan was terminated during the involvement of the Administration in the GM bankruptcy. We would be glad to work with Mr. Biden to help him understand the damage that was done when that administration chose not to protect the salaried pensions in the same manner as it did the major union pensions. [Emphasis added]

Cunningham said the Obama-Biden administration “chose instead to divide the workers at Delphi into winners and losers by supporting full pensions for the members of the major unions who often worked side-by-side with the salaried workers.”

The pensions of secretaries, clerks, technicians, engineers, estimators, customer service representatives, front-line supervisors, and thousands of other salaried workers were “completely disregarded” by the Obama-Biden administration, Cunningham said.

DSRA members say the funding for their pensions “was always sufficient to pay the full pensions of the participants and there was never any financial need to terminate the plan.”

Cunningham said the president does not need to pass legislation in order to restore the “unjust and unnecessary termination” of the Delphi workers’ pensions.

In 2012, federal documents unveiled how the Obama-Biden administration’s Treasury Department worked to gut the pensions of the Delphi workers. In other emails, PBGC officials indicated they had the green light from the Obama-Biden administration to slash the pensions.

Delphi, which has since split into Aptiv and Delphi Technologies, announced in 2006 that it would shutter 21 of its 29 plants in the United States — offshoring some 20,000 U.S. jobs to Mexico, China, and other foreign countries.

At the time, Delphi employed nearly 50,000 Americans who earned about $30 an hour on the assembly line. Now, workers in Mexico for the company earn about $1 an hour.

Wednesday’s vice presidential debate provides an opportunity for the American public to get answers from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA).

The Democratic vice presidential nominee should be asked the following 25 questions. This list is by no means exhaustive.

Many of these questions were suggested by this author last month, but because they remain unanswered, I offer them again in the hope that the debate moderator will see fit to get answers from the California senator who, if elected, will be one heart beat away from the presidency.

1. After President Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, many Democrats endorsed the idea of “packing” the Supreme Court by expanding the number of seats and filling them with liberal justices. You and Vice President Biden have refused to give your position on court-packing. Are you in favor of packing the court?

2. Do you believe Judge Barrett’s resume as a federal judge, former Supreme Court law clerk, and Notre Dame law professor qualifies her for the job? If not, why not? If so, how do you—as a feminist—justify your apparent ambivalence about even meeting with a qualified woman judicial nominee?

3. Judge Barrett has been attacked by members of your party because of her Catholic faith. This is of great concern to many millions of American Catholics because this appears to be a pattern with your party. In fact, you yourself once attacked a judicial nominee on the basis of his membership in the Catholic organization the Knights of Columbus, which is the largest fraternal organization in the world and includes among its past and present members many prominent Americans like President John F. Kennedy, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Gov. John Bel Edwards (D-LA), and Vince Lombardi. Do you believe that being a member of the Knights of Columbus disqualifies a person from holding public office? Would you refuse to hire someone on the basis of their membership in the Knights of Columbus or any other Catholic organization? In your questioning of this Catholic judicial nominee, you singled out the issue of the Catholic teaching on the sanctity of life. Would you disqualify a job applicant on the basis of their Catholic beliefs, including their beliefs about abortion? Do you believe that being pro-life disqualifies someone from employment?

4. Your history of attacking a judicial nominee solely on the basis of his membership in a Catholic organization led former Speaker Newt Gingrich to describe you as an “openly anti-Catholic bigot.” Do you disavow this characterization?

5. Should American Catholics or Catholic organizations be forced to pay for other people’s abortions? If elected, would you seek to force Catholics to fund abortions and other practices that are fundamentally in violation of their faith?

6. You recently claimed that you chose to become a prosecutor because you wanted to protect victims of sexual abuse. However, during your 13-year tenure as San Francisco’s district attorney and then California’s attorney general, you refused to prosecute any of the sexual abuse claims brought against Catholic priests, despite the pleas from victim groups. Why?

7. Also, why did your attorney general’s office refuse to release the documents obtained from the San Francisco archdiocese with all the information about priests accused of sexual abuse? Victims’ rights groups have criticized your office for deliberately burying these documents and thereby covering up the crimes and leaving the public unprotected. Why did you do this? The San Francisco district attorney’s office claimed in 2019 that they no longer have these documents in their possession. What happened to them? How can you claim to be a defender of children when you declined to prosecute the abusers of children?

8. Last June, you encouraged your Twitter followers to donate to a bail fund to assist protesters arrested in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, riots. Are you aware that in July this bail fund sprang from jail a man who was accused of sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl? In August, the fund posted bail for a man accused of assaulting a 71-year-old woman whose home he had burglarized. In June, the fund helped bail out a man accused of stomping and robbing a victim in Minneapolis on the same day George Floyd died. Between June and August, the fund helped bail out six men who were accused of domestic violence, including two who were accused of strangling women in their homes. Do you have any words for the victims of these crimes?

9. Why did your office decline to investigate the health supplement fraud cases involving companies your husband’s law firm represented? Did you, as California’s attorney general, ever purposefully decline investigating or prosecuting clients of your husband’s law firm?

10. You said you believed the women accusing Joe Biden of inappropriate touching. Do you believe Tara Reade? If not, why not? If so, how do you justify supporting him now?

11. Why did you single out journalist David Daleiden for prosecution for undercover journalism that others do without penalty?

12. Your chief-of-staff, Karine Jean-Pierre, wrote an op-ed last year attacking the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and Americans who associate with it, stating “You cannot call yourself a progressive while continuing to associate yourself with an organization like AIPAC that has often been the antithesis of what it means to be progressive.” Do you believe that pro-Israel activism is incompatible with progressive values?

13. The Biden campaign has adopted a version of the Green New Deal that calls for 100 percent renewable electricity generation by 2035. California has adopted similar “green” goals, but now it can’t keep the lights on due to the state’s reliance on wind and solar energy. California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newson recently admitted that the Golden State needs a “backup” plan for energy because the current blackouts caused by lack of wind and overcast skies have shown the danger of relying solely on “green” energy. Why would the nation fare any better than sunny breezy California in keeping the lights on if we adopt 100 percent renewable energy?

14. You said in the past that we “need to hold China accountable” for trade violations, but you are against the use of tariffs. How do you intend to hold China accountable? You also said that “we need to export American products, not American jobs.” How do you intend to make sure we don’t export more American jobs to China? How would your policy differ significantly from the same policies that led to the loss of 4 million jobs to China?

15. You have supported the often violent Black Lives Matter uprisings and encouraged them to continue. Have you spoken to any victims of the riots — people who lost loved ones or businesses?

16. Do you believe that the looting of the Magnificent Mile in Chicago was a “form of reparations,” as one Chicago Black Lives Matter organizer claimed? Is looting an appropriate form of protest as a means of reparations?

17. Seattle Black Lives Matter protesters stormed a neighborhood, demanding that residents “get the f*** out” and “give black people back their homes” as reparations. Do you support that style of protest? If not, have you condemned it?

18. You recently claimed that it is both “outdated” and “wrongheaded” to think that adding police officers to the streets is the only way to make communities safer. What do you propose we do to stop the current wave of violent crime engulfing our cities?

19. What is the maximum number of illegal immigrants you would allow into the country before securing the border to stop more from entering?

20. The Obama administration deported an estimated 3 million illegal aliens. Was that a bad thing?

21. With 30 million Americans unemployed due to the coronavirus, would you support a halt on work visas for foreign workers competing with Americans for jobs? If not, explain to us why CEOs will not use this huge increase in the supply of labor to freeze and reduce salaries for American workers?

22. A number of prominent tech industry leaders have endorsed your campaign citing your support for increasing the number of H-1B foreign workers. Why is importing more foreign workers to compete with Americans a good idea right now?

23. Wall Street has praised Vice President Biden’s decision to choose you as his running mate. Why do you think financial special interests support you so much?

24. Will you be following the advice of your Wall Street and Silicon Valley donors in negotiating with China? If not, whose advice would you seek out in negotiating with China?

25. You have called on Congress to act on a coronavirus stimulus package, but you skipped a vote on a Republican proposal that would have provided relief to Americans. Are you putting any pressure on members of your party to stop blocking relief legislation for Americans?

Creepy Joe goes to Florida

Joe Biden, who's been bunkered up out of presumably protecting himself from COVID, is back on the campaign trail, this time attempting to win votes in Florida.  He was out and about, speaking impromptu, and it didn't take long for the talk to get gross.

Transcript:

[T]he good news is, for me, I'm here. The bad news, for you, is, I'm comin' back. I'm comin' back. And I wanna see these beautiful young ladies (points to elementary-school aged girls sitting in the back), I wanna see them dancin' when they're four years older, too. So. It's great to see you. So thank you.  

It sounds like the kind of thing a pedophile, focused closely on what's of legal, and barely legal, age, might say, focusing on that four-year mark to get to "barely legal."

The other thing that's cringe-inducing is the pasha-like fascination with dancing girls, even though the elementary school–aged girls he was pointing to most certainly were not dancing.  Why didn't he point to some boys, or some random old people, or a happy-looking couple?  Somehow, wandering around without staying in the social-distancing circle his team made everyone else stand in, Biden effectively pointed to the girls and told them to "dance" for him, a creepy Roman emperor or King Herod thing, something one orders of one's slaves.

And speaking of that, most of the audience in attendance was Haitian black people.  What's even creepier than a pervy pedophile pointing to young girls and commanding them to dance for him is the spectacle of an old white colonialist perv calling on black girls to dance for him.  If I were those kids' mother, I'd yank them from that event immediately.

Context is important, though, and maybe Biden's remark could be dismissed, right?  We know that his team will do that.  But he's got a long history of these kinds of "Creepy Joe" remarks.  He makes them when he's relaxed and expansive, and given the poll numbers now showing him comfortably ahead and the good news for him that his rival was sick with COVID, he was out feeling his oats.

Biden has a long history of pervy acts when he thinks no one's looking or expects that no one cares.  CBS's 60 Minutes aired an exposé of Biden's alleged sexual assault by a former aide named Tara Reade...in Australia just this past Sunday.

There was also Lucy Flores, a Nevada candidate for political office who said Biden engaged in "unwanted touching," something the press has failed to follow up on as Biden conveniently claims he can't remember.

There's been other acts, repeatedly other acts, with him pretty much always going for the comely young women or the very young girls:

Business Insider has a list here.

Whenever Biden is allowed out to campaign, these kinds of creepy statements happen.  If he's not sounding garbled or senile, and he's not insulting a voter, he's doing this.  It's his happy act, zeroing in on little girls and making suggestive remarks.

Why this guy is the best the Democrats can do tells us a lot about the nature of their party.  Expect to see a lot more of this.
