Jawbones And Asses

Perhaps the Clueless Joe Biden regime should send some jawbones to Ukraine instead of high-tech tanks, the better to defeat the Russians.

Clueless Joe clearly believes in the power of the jawbone, in the metaphorical sense. He yammers away to pillory his enemies, most recently taking Chevron to task for having the temerity to return profits to shareholders through stock buybacks.

Clueless Joe has emptied our strategic petroleum reserve trying to tamp down the price of oil and, by extension, gasoline prices. Now, because oil prices are rising again due to China reopening its economy by abandoning idiotic zero COVID policies, Clueless Joe is out of bullets (again metaphorically, but as our military soon may be literally after all the Ukraine aid).

So, populist Joe, the guy who can’t keep track of all the classified documents he’s misplaced through the years, is taking to the bully pulpit to get the nation inflamed about a company actually making money and sharing the wealth with stock owners.

It must really wound Clueless Joe and his witless Green pals that they can’t kill coal or oil and gas industries, as he so proudly has promised he would.

Unlike the Biblical tale of Samson, who is said to have slain a thousand or so Philistines using as his weapon the jawbone of an ass, Clueless Joe’s jawboning is all talk.

Jawboning is, however, an appropriate metaphor since the Democratic symbol is the donkey, AKA, an ass.

The Clueless Biden regime is desperate to turn the conversation to something other than his ongoing classified information problem, or our porous southern border.

On that second point, the Biden regime insists there is no problem, despite copious evidence to the contrary.

Now Biden, who at the height of the gasoline price rise claimed it was not a problem, or if it was a problem, it was Trump’s fault, blames oil companies.

The Biden regime’s answer to our nation’s energy problems is to put out talking points about eliminating natural gas stoves. They encourage us to buy electric vehicles to cut down on oil and gasoline use, failing to explain how our failing electrical grid could handle a ramp up in EV usage and necessary recharging.

Clueless Joe and his lackeys are pitching smoke and mirrors over substance.

They have nothing concrete – other than Joe’s classified problem – and so they seek to muddy the picture with various tangential crusades.

Protect corrupt Ukraine at all costs. Resource companies are evil personified. And, of course, mean-spirited Republicans are going to eliminate Social Security and Medicare because they won’t give the Clueless One a blank check to plunge this nation yet more trillions of dollars into debt.

The sad news is, Clueless Joe’s tactics might work because the average American voter is a bit of a fool, totally absorbed in self-interest.

You give them a free lunch and they whine it isn’t a free dinner.

They envy success, but aren’t willing to put in any real effort to achieve it.

For them, Clueless Joe pointing out any success stories are merely oppression of the morons is music to their ears.

In this case, Clueless Joe is using his jawboning to preach to asses.
