America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections
Despite the happy face that the legacy media are putting on the first day of President Biden’s European trip, his customary level of hypocrisy and incompetence is showing through the PR gloss.
Start with the spectacle of a leader intent on demonstrating “leadership” on climate issues (as in throwing away billions of taxpayer dollars on useless, expensive, and harmful measures to curtail emissions of CO2) parading into Rome with an 85 car slow-moving motorcade, after 4 giant jets carried the party to Fiumicino Airport completed transatlantic flights. China’s President Xi Jinping, in contrast, will be attending the G-20 Summit in Rome today via video link, sparing the atmosphere many tons of CO2 for transportation. To be sure, China is building coal-fired electricity generation facilities at a breakneck speed, but he gets bragging rights on conserving energy compared to Biden’s extravagant emissions
Joe and Dr. Jill had hoped for a lot of live TV time with Pope Francis to kick off Friday’s round of events, but:
The Vatican on Thursday abruptly canceled the planned live broadcast of U.S. President Joe Biden meeting Pope Francis, the latest restriction to media coverage of the Holy See that sparked complaints from White House- and Vatican-accredited journalists.
The live broadcast of Biden’s Friday visit was trimmed to cover just the arrival of the president's motorcade in the courtyard of the Apostolic Palace. Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said the revised plan reflected the “normal procedure” established during the coronavirus pandemic for all visiting heads of state or government. (snip)
Cancelled was the live coverage of Biden actually greeting Francis in the palace Throne Room, as well as the live footage of the two men sitting down to begin their private talks in Francis’ library, at which time the cameras would have stopped running.
The Vatican said it would provide edited footage of the encounter after the fact to accredited media. Bruni didn't say why the Vatican had originally announced fuller live coverage only to dial it back on the eve of the visit.
Rumors were that the Vatican feared Joe bringing up the issue of his receiving communion despite endorsing abortion on demand, putting the Holy Father on the spot. Whatever the motives for the Vatican, after the private meeting, Joe was free to make his own claims:
President Biden told reporters on Friday that Pope Francis had called him a “good Catholic” and said he should keep receiving communion, an unexpected development that appeared to put a papal finger on the scale in a debate raging in the United States’ Roman Catholic Church over whether the president and other Catholic politicians who support abortion rights should be denied the sacrament.
In response to reporters who asked if Francis had told him during their private 75-minute audience at the Vatican whether he should keep receiving communion, Mr. Biden replied, “Yes.”
Asked to confirm Mr. Biden’s remarks, Matteo Bruni, the Vatican spokesman, said the Holy See limited its comments to the news release about subjects discussed during the meeting and added, “It’s a private conversation.”
In other words, the Vatican would neither confirm nor deny the account offered by Biden.
Next on the agenda were meetings with the President and Prime Minister of Italy, the host country, described by the New York Times as “drama-free.”
Such was not the case for the next and final public item on the agenda: a meeting with France’s President Macron. The body language and public words spoken by the two men were relatively cordial.
During the press availability, Macron said, “this is very much the beginning of a process of trust, of confidence, which we're building together.” When asked by a reporter if the relationship between the two nations had been repaired following France’s temporary recall of its ambassador over America elbowing France out of a huge contract to build a fleet of submarines for Australia, Biden fessed up:
Such a public confession of being uninformed about what his government was doing with regard to a key ally could hardly have been reassuring to Macron – or to American citizens for that matter.
But what Macron said after the meeting amounted to a rebuke of Biden’s behavior and unease as to whether he would really follow through:
"Trust is like love: Declarations are good, but proof is better," Macron said.
That’s about as close to “Put up or shut up” as leaders of allied countries get in public statements.
Nolte: 57% Say Economy Worse Under Biden, 60% Blame Democrats
A clear majority of Americans say the economy has worsened under His Fraudulency Joe Biden, and 60 percent put the blame squarely on Democrats.
Rasmussen Reports asked 1,000 likely voters, “Has the U.S. economy gotten better or worse since Joe Biden became president, or is the economy about the same?”
A clear majority of 57 percent said the economy is worse, only 21 percent said better, and ten percent said “about the same.”
I’m curious who the 21 percent are who say the economy has improved.
Other than illegal aliens and the Taliban, Biden hasn’t improved anything for anyone.

Rasmussen then asked, “Who deserves more blame for current problems with the U.S. economy, President Biden, Democrats in Congress, or Republicans in Congress?” A whopping 60 percent blamed Democrats—either Biden (38 percent) or congressional Democrats (22 percent).
Only 31 percent blamed congressional Republicans.
Biden and congressional Democrats are entirely to blame. Their lunatic spending has exploded inflation to record levels, a cruel tax on all of us, especially the working class and poor. On top of that, the business community is scared to move due to the constant threats of more taxes and regulations. The worst, though, are the supply chain issues, which are far from over. This lack of goods not only causes price spikes, it comes with job losses and lost hours. If the materials don’t arrive on the job, you have no job. If there’s nothing to stock or sell, you need not come into work today.
This failed administration is also shattering confidence. Exploding gas prices (up 35 cents in one week where I live) and empty store shelves freak people out. And the White House is doing nothing to alleviate anyone’s fears. Instead, they joke about inflation as a “high class” problem, dismiss the supply chain crisis as the “tragedy of the undelivered treadmill,” and pretend all of these problems have been caused by Biden’s sizzling hot economy.
Yeah, well, our economy grew at an almost stagnant two percent last quarter, and with the Democrats prepared to spend another $1.7 trillion, which will overheat things even more, our inflation problems are about to get a whole lot worse. Additionally, these fascist vaccine mandates will only add to employment problems: specifically, the people we need to fix the supply chain and protect our downtowns from the left-wing marauders in Antifa and Black lives Matter.
There is just no doubt in my mind that America is headed into a recession. But unlike the others, this recession was almost entirely avoidable. We should be roaring out of the coronavirus downturn. We are not because Joe Biden has chosen to put his boot on the neck of everyday Americans as he gives the store away to illegal aliens and the Taliban.
