A Foxworthy Take On Boastful Biden

Joe Biden claimed his administration has overperformed in its first year and I thought of comedian Jeff Foxworthy and his trademark you might be a redneck if . . . jokes.

Biden is no stranger to playing fast and loose with the facts. These days it’s often chalked up to his declining mental faculties, but the trait has accompanied Biden throughout his public life.

Exaggerations over his academic performance, his political accomplishments, where he’s been at historic moments, sort of like Forrest Gump, all are part of the Biden resume. But while the fictional Gump was a likeable simpleton, Biden really isn’t likeable — except by other simpletons.

Biden can be amusing, though, in a sad, pathetic way.

This is a tribute to the shrinking number of people who are believing without question whatever Biden says.

You might think Biden has overperformed if you anticipated gas prices would be $10 a gallon by now.

You might think Biden has overperformed if you thought the Afghan pullout went flawlessly.

You might think Biden has overperformed if you expected the stock market already would be cut in half on his watch.

You might think Biden has overperformed if you predicted the annual inflation rate would be 50 percent and climbing.

You might think Biden has overperformed if you feared the COVID death rate would be 99.4 percent under him.

You might think Biden has overperformed if you were certain there was no need for him to do anything to shore up our southern border.

You might think Biden has overperformed if you thought he’d actually be at the Ukraine border to welcome any invading Russian troops instead of merely giving Vlad Putin the green light for a “minor incursion.”

You might think Biden has overperformed if you thought he would do absolutely nothing to try to stem the rising tide of overdose deaths among young people.

You might think Biden has overperformed if you thought his claims could pass fact-checking only 5 percent of the time.

And, finally, you might think Biden has overperformed if you’re still running around with a Biden bumper sticker on your Prius.
