LAST NIGHT’S CRAZED, PARANOID SPEECH IS NOT PLAYING WELL:

Harsh, but they should have seen this coming given the heavy handed way this was done. What were they thinking? Were they thinking?

UPDATE: Here’s the gist of President Biden’s ‘soul of the nation’ speech that’s not at all fascist-sounding.

Actually, after a coup, they usually try harder to make things seem normal. But no:

Plus: Why did Biden use “Hail to the Chief” as a prelude to what was a hardcore political speech?

Maybe when you hear the song you think of “Fortunate Son,” the 1969 Creedence Clearwater song:

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they’re red, white and blue
And when the band plays “Hail to the Chief”
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

He was certainly pointing the cannon at his opponents last night.

Plus: “It was nighttime, and the backdrop — Independence Hall — was lit in deep red. The rhetoric was demonizing the enemy, the American enemy among us, the people who are not ‘normal,’ not ‘mainstream.’ And our ‘soul’ is stake.”

I’m always a bit concerned about old men who are overly interested in my soul.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Hypocrite Biden’s speech was about one thing only — trying to bait Trump.

Pretty sure the baiting is working the other way.

YES, IN MANY WAYS FASCISM WON. AND PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE FIGHTING IT:  Fascism, real and fake.

It is also collapsing worldwide. You might know it as “the blue model.”

YOU SEE, TO THEM DEMOCRACY MEANS RULE BY DEMOCRATS AND EVERYONE WHO OPPOSES THEM IS A FASCIST:  “Dissent is Fascism” — Latest Democrat Mantra.

And you should remind all your idiot friends of this. This is what they’re supporting.

OH, YOU MEAN THE GUY WHO WAS CRAZY BECAUSE HE WANTED TO OPEN THE SCHOOLS?  School Scores Dropping Is Now Trump’s Fault .

They’ve been blaming their opponents for all the nasty things they did, from slavery onward. It’s time we shove their own words in their faces.

HE IS A FRIEND/ALMOST ADOPTED KID AND ONE OF THOSE RARE CASES IN WHICH SOMEONE YOUNG ALMOST DIED OF COVID:  He’s recovering, but the recovery took the resources he and his new bride had to re-start his business after he moved near her.

I put the link to his Gofundme here.  Yeah, I don’t like GoFundMe either but I took great satisfaction out of not giving them a tip on my donation.

Some of you said you wanted him to put up a GiveSendGo. He did.

WHEN A DEM LOSES CNN and ABC…: ‘It’s Wrong:’ CNN Blasts Biden for Using Military As Backdrop for ‘Battle’ Speech.

A producer for ABC pointed out an obvious but important truth as well:

Meanwhile, even CNN talent was unnerved by the display. Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny took issue with the staging of the Marines behind Biden for such a political speech, calling it a “break with White House traditions.”

CNN’s Brianna Keilar joined in the criticism as well saying the positioning of Marines behind Biden for a speech like Thursday night’s “flies in the face” of the idea that America’s military is “supposed to be apolitical.”

As one wag joked on Twitter, “Can we all bow our heads a moment in solemn memory of the White House advance man who will be found in Fort Marcy Park tomorrow.”

UPDATE: Biden’s ‘blood red’ backdrop steals show in speech attacking MAGA.
