As part of the absurd pretense that he somehow represents the regular Americans that his regime has been eradicating through open borders, socialism, and the DEI ideology of the liberal elite, the figurehead of our degenerate ruling class presents himself as “Scranton Joe,” on the grounds that he happens to have been born in the working class town before moving to Delaware. LANGUAGE ALERT — here’s how Biden is welcomed by the actual residents of Scranton:

Biden’s visit to Scranton was intended to contrast his middle class background with Trump’s privileged upbringing. Marxists forget that in America, it isn’t where you start; it’s where you end up.

Creepy Joe represents the decadent rich. The wealthiest have grown wealthier with him in office, whereas the rest of us have been incrementally impoverished by inflation. In contrast, Trump represents resistance to their misrule, which is why they hate him so much.

If Joe Biden is clever enough to serve as Commander in Chief of the USA, he ought to be put in charge of Israel’s fight for survival against Islamomaniacs. Never mind; he already is in charge of it. Watch as he delivers orders not to move on Haifa:

Haifa is the third-largest city in Israel. This is equivalent to Netanyahu demanding Biden not move on Chicago.

The liberal establishment would be hard pressed to find a more appropriate figurehead than this clueless moron.

When bad behavior is not punished, it continues. Eighty percent of Obama’s generous green energy loans went to those who had backed him financially. Prominent among these wasteful debacles was Solyndra, which raked in over half a $billion of taxpayer money and soon afterward declared bankruptcy. Because Obama was never held accountable, similar malfeasance continues during his third term. The Regime is still giving our money specifically to the same guy who ran the Solyndra scam:

The Biden administration is giving $6.6 billion to a semiconductor project run by the former CEO of Solyndra, the failed solar energy company at the center of an Obama-era scandal over government misspending.

The money is going to the Arizona subsidiary of Taiwan’s TSMC to make chips in Phoenix.

[TSMC Arizona President Brian] Harrison, who is overseeing TSMC’s projects in Arizona, said he was involved in securing the federal financing in a media interview last August.

It is not competence that makes you valuable in today’s business world. It is what friends you have.

Regarding Solyndra under Harrison’s tenure,

An inspector general investigation found that Solyndra executives provided misleading information to Department of Energy officials during the loan negotiations in 2009 and later “while drawing down loan proceeds.” The IG report said the “actions of certain Solyndra officials were, at best, reckless and irresponsible or, at worst, an orchestrated effort to knowingly and intentionally deceive and mislead the Department.”

Deceiving people is easy when they are eager to pay you off for helping to put them in power.

Outrage over Solyndra forced Obama to scale down the DoE’s loan programs office — but only temporarily:

[N]ow the Biden administration has revived and expanded the office—giving it a massive $400 billion budget for green energy loans.

This isn’t a government. It is a looting spree.

Some are pushing back. Like Cardinal Gerhard Müller, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano calls for the Catholic Church to preserve its credibility by excommunicating the belligerently blasphemous leftist creep in the White House. In response to Biden’s Easter Transgender Day of Visibility proclamation, Vigano defends the faith:

The unprecedented and scandalous proclamation of March 31 as “Transgender Visibility Day” by self-styled U.S. President Joe Biden — who dares to declare himself a Catholic — constitutes a most serious offense to God and to millions of Catholics and Christians in America and around the world, before which it is impossible not to react with due firmness. …

I ask my Brethren in the Episcopate and priests to recognize that Joe Biden has incurred latæ sententiæ excommunication, and as such must be expelled from the churches and not admitted to Communion.

Vigano decries “a world awash in execrable perversions that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.” He gets what Sunday’s Democrat Easter blasphemy represents:

Christians are progressively banished from civil society and considered a threat to the subversive project of the New World Order, while a minority of the vicious and perverted claim to erect their deviations as the universal norm. Here is the “visibility” of Biden and the woke ideology, celebrating a macabre mad dance to the abyss.

We’re going into the abyss with them if we fail to turn the ship around.

Before moonbattery, we had great leaders, whom we commemorated with public statues. The liberal establishment egged on Black Lives Matter mobs to tear these statues down. It would be hard to imagine anyone putting up a statue of our current “leader,” the senile corruptocrat chosen as the figurehead for the forces deliberately destroying our country. Yet a statue in Wyoming is known as the Joe Biden head:

The sculpture has a name — “Exhaling Dissolution” — but most everyone around Laramie knows it as the Biden head because they say it bears an uncanny resemblance to the current U.S. president.

Residents try to ignore the monstrosity and are glad it will be removed next month.

[Hannah] Blair said that she, like many other locals, has always been baffled by what the statue is supposed to represent and why it was deemed appropriate for Laramie or anywhere in Wyoming.

She thinks the artist was trying to convey a message about a need for equality.

Good guess, but creator Sarah Deppe of Iowa…

…has said that the sculpture is a commentary of the huge levels of pollution humans gorge out into the environment.

She denies that the head represents Creepy Joe. Yet the empty-eyed mouth-breathing stare does call Biden to mind:

Via the regulatory Deep State, Biden is progressively banning the automobile, which has long been a symbol of American freedom and industry. As part of his overall war on transportation, he is doing the same to the trucks that transport food and other goods:

The Biden administration finalized long-awaited regulations targeting emissions generated from heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and buses, the latest salvo in President Biden’s sweeping climate agenda.

Climate agenda. As if these power-mad insects controlled the planet itself.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced the new regulations Friday morning, and officials said they represent the strongest-ever greenhouse gas emissions standards of their kind.

Regulations that might engender resistance are announced on Fridays, to make it easier for the complicit media to bury them. They are then inflicted progressively, so the frog doesn’t jump out of the pot:

The rules will kick in beginning in 2026 for model year 2027 vehicles and progressively become more stringent through model year 2032, forcing a larger number of trucks and buses to be zero-emissions in that time frame.

The measurable effect on the supposedly problematic weather will be absolutely nil, as even Biden probably knows. But there will be plenty effect on the price of most everything we buy. Visit Biden-Mart to see the effect his policies have already had at the grocery store.

Meanwhile, as Joe Biden joins liberal elite bastion Fairfax County in blaspheming against the Christian faith by celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility in place of Easter, movement may finally get underway to excommunicate this walking obscenity:

The former prefect of the Vatican’s highest doctrine office, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, condemned U.S. President Joe Biden’s support for abortion, saying it is “infanticide” and that those promoting “infanticide” should be “excommunicated.”

“The word ‘abortion’ is too much a soft word. The reality is killing, murder of a living person,” said Gerhard Cardinal Müller. “There’s no right to kill another person. It’s absolutely against the Fifth Commandment.”

Not only does Biden aggressively advocate abortion (if only through the first three trimesters), his regime would even force doctors with consciences to perform it against their will (as well as sex change mutilation). Yet for political purposes he poses as a Catholic. Participating in this charade costs the Church credibility.

A leader provides moral clarity. Joe Biden is not a leader but a figurehead, so morally vacuous that he cannot make up his mind to defend civilization against Islamic terrorists in the aftermath of the horrific atrocities of October 7.

Biden responded to pro-Palestinian protesters who interrupted his health care speech on Tuesday, saying that “they have a point.”

Two protesters were escorted out of the Raleigh, North Carolina, venue after they cut off the president mid-remarks, shouting, “What about the health care in Gaza?”

This is equivalent to Nazi supporters barking “What about the health care in Berlin?” during the Battle of Britain.

“They have a point,” Biden said after the protesters were escorted out. “We need to get a lot more care into Gaza.”

“Care into Gaza” means “money into Hamas,” the Democratically elected government of Gaza.

Biden has been putting our money where his mouth is, bestowing vast amounts of it upon Hamas as a reward for systematically raping and mutilating women and children and even building the terrorist organization a port so as to facilitate sending more. He is a traitor not only against America’s ally Israel and against America itself, but against Western Civilization, decency, and the human race.

Even a villain might inspire the respect you would accord a formidable adversary. However, Biden characteristically inspires no respect whatsoever as he lamely attempts to take both sides by also half-heartedly supporting Israel.

Revelation 3:16 comes to mind:

So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Meanwhile, as left-wing apparatchik Mark Milley is knighted for his role in Biden’s Afghanistan debacle, a Gold Star father gets the Jan 6er treatment:

Gold Star father Steven Nikoui says charges have not been dropped against him after he was arrested for heckling President Biden during the State of the Union address.

Nikoui, 51, the father of slain Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, shouted ‘Remember Abbey Gate!’ ‘United States Marines!’ and ‘Abbey Gate!’ from the balcony of the House chamber in the middle of the president’s remarks last Thursday.

His son, Kareem, was killed by a suicide bomber, along with 12 other soldiers, during the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

If Mark Milley is a hero, then Steven Nikoui is a threat to democracy.

He called it ‘devastating’ that Biden instead mentioned the name of murdered Georgia student Laken Riley, which he confused with ‘Lincoln,’ but not the soldiers killed at Abbey Gate.

Biden apologized for his reference to “Lincoln” Riley, an apparent victim of his open border policy. That is, he apologized for calling the illegal alien charged with killing her “illegal.”

There might be no greater indignity than to see your country ruled by its worst enemies.

Fellow Gold Star father Darin Hoover called Nikoui’s arrest ‘ludicrous’ that he was singled out among other hecklers during the State of the Union.

‘The optics don’t look good, that’s for damn sure,’ he told DailyMail.com.

No worries, Democrats. If public revulsion against you overwhelms the media’s demonization of Trump, and lawfare doesn’t work, you can always fall back on cheating.

As housing becomes unaffordable for a growing number of Americans, our senile Moonbat in Chief hails outgoing Housing Secretary Marcia Fudge:

The White House, in a statement, hailed Fudge’s dedication to increasing the supply of affordable housing and protect the housing needs of some of the country’s most vulnerable residents.

In the context of Marxists like Marcia Fudge, the phrase “most vulnerable residents” refers to illegal aliens and welfare freeloaders.

Meanwhile, young people aspiring to home ownership are lucky to keep a roof over their heads, thanks to hyperregulation that retards construction and skyrocketing mortgage rates resulting from attempts to control the inflation produced by Democrats’ never-ending wasteful spending spree.

“From her time as a mayor, to her years as a fierce advocate in the U.S. House of Representatives, Marcia’s vision, passion, and focus on increasing economic opportunity have been assets to our country,” said Biden, a Democrat. “I’m grateful for all of her contributions toward a housing system that works for all Americans, and I wish her well in her next chapter.”

“All Americans” does not include you.

It would be good news that Fudge is leaving, except that the Regime is certain to replace her with another leftist just as awful.

The Hamas terror atrocities of October 7 shocked the world. The violence inflicted on women was particularly horrific. Nor were children spared; at least 36 were murdered, often in front of their parents. The Biden Administration responds:

At the State Department, officials are investigating Israeli actions in Gaza that they believe may have broken international law. The State Department is also evaluating Israeli conduct through the Civilian Harm Incident Response Guidance process, a policy introduced by President Joe Biden last fall. This process is intended to monitor whether foreign governments use weapons provided by the U.S. to hurt civilians, and it could unearth evidence of international law violations.

That would be consistent with spouting Islamist propaganda, shoveling our money at Hamas, and calling on Israel not to retaliate.

Meanwhile, out of the other side of their mouths, the Biden people claim to support Israel, an outpost of civilization besieged by pure evil. There is an election in the fall, and decent people vote.

In 2020, the Democrat establishment took the nomination from communist Bernie Sanders and gave it to conspicuously incompetent corruptocrat Joe Biden, presumably because James Clyburn promised the black vote. Biden famously proclaimed that those who don’t vote for him “ain’t black.” He has been pandering to blacks ever since, openly choosing his VP and appointing a justice to the Supreme Court on the basis of their race. But despite the favoritism, even blacks have had enough of this decrepit creep. His handlers are getting desperate:
