Age is just a number in regards to Joe Biden opines Richard Aquila in The Hill this morning. Richard, along with Juan Williams, are certainly all in for Joe’s second term. Juan is here to tell us that Joe Biden is the THIRD Black President! 

In the ads, Biden is reminding Black voters that he named the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

It is not in his ads, but last week Biden’s vice president — the first Black vice president, Kamala Harris — swore in a Black woman, Laphonza Butler, as a U.S. senator. It is amazing to me, after 50 years of covering Washington, to see a Black woman sworn in as a senator while her wife — another Black woman — holds the bible, and the oath is administered by a third Black woman, who is Biden’s Vice President of the United States.

In contrast to that insulting treatment just 30 years ago, Biden can talk about naming the first Black secretary of defense, former General Lloyd J. Austin. He also selected Charles Q. Brown, an Air Force General, as chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Biden also stripped confederate names from military bases.

Oh sure Juan! Pull all the other legs! First of all, the unemployment figures are bogus because no NEW jobs have been added since Joe stepping into office. Secondly, Laphonza Butler (NOT a resident of California) was nominated solely to check very specific boxes promised by Gavin Newsom. That’s ….not an accomplishment by any means. Third, Lloyd Austin along with his boss Joe Biden, are THE architects for the Afghanistan withdrawal that left thirteen American soldiers dead, hundreds wounded, and billions in money and military equipment left behind. Some of which, it is becoming clear, was used to help Hamas and Hezbollah. 

Richard, in his fawning piece, touts Joe’s record as a net positive for this country. OH REALLY?

Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972. In the decades since, he has racked up numerous accomplishments, as a senator, vice president and president. No candidate in either party can match Biden when it comes to political achievements, policy-making or understanding not just how government works but also how Americans think.

In the Senate, he served with distinction on the Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees. He fought hard — and successfully — for new policies involving civil rights, gun control, immigration and women’s rights. As president, he battled the COVID pandemic, rallied allies to help Ukraine fight Russian aggression, improved the American economy, initiated projects to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure, advanced health care, and pushed environmental policies to combat climate change.

In regards to Judiciary, Richard needs to be reminded of Joe’s egregious behavior during the Robert Bork hearings. Foreign policy?? You mean like the foreign policy that Joe started work on while Senator, and continued it while Vice President that involved bribes, graft, and corruption across the family BRAND? THAT foreign policy? 

How about today’s foreign policy debacle where most of the Administration and the media working overtime to gaslight the public with the “No, Iran really isn’t using that $6 billion right now to fund Hamas or other terrorist organizations against Israel.” Except Anthony Blinken blew that narrative out of the water yesterday while making the rounds on the Sunday morning talk shows. Furthermore, Joe attends a BBQ while our so-called foreign policy experts are trying to get Israel, ISRAEL! to agree to a cease-fire. 

I’ll just leave this here regarding Joe’s immigration policy.

Oh, and let’s add this to the mix as well. 

Border Patrol arrests of suspects on the FBI’s terror watchlist at the southern border:

FY’23 – 151 (so far).
FY’22 – 98
FY’21 – 15
FY’20 – 3
FY’19 – 0
FY’18 – 6
FY’17 – 2

There have also been over 1.5 million *known* gotaways since start of 2021, enough to fill 16 Rose Bowls.

As for improving the American economy… don’t make me laugh.

Inflation is high, gas prices are bound to go higher now that Israel has been attacked, and our debt is out of control.

Biden’s energy policies and embrace of climate change crap has left us with literally ZERO oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve! 

But sure! Tell us again how great Joe is! As for his age?? That’s just a silly number. 

To win in November 2024, Biden has to turn his “old age” negative into an “experienced and accomplished” positive. He can pull this off by celebrating his age rather than hiding from it. President Biden’s age and experience are powerful reasons to vote for him, not against him.

Given all the problems the country now faces, America needs a talented and tested leader like Joe Biden more than ever. Voters need to focus on Biden’s accomplishments and judge him on his ability to do the job, not the date on his birth certificate.

Unbelievable. Even more so when Richard invokes that rancid speech Joe gave in front of Independence Hall a year ago September and uses that as an example that voting for Joe in SPITE of his age will save the soul of this nation. Except …

The White House has called a lid before noon.

We do not expect to see or hear from President Biden for the rest of the day.

OH. Well, there you have it folks. If we don’t vote for Joe, we will be guilty of age discrimination and delivering a fatal blow to the soul of our nation.
