Today we offer a version of news and views. Call it the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! variation. We present the supposed news and you choose whether or not to buy it.

NEWS: Various reports indicate that the Biden regime is claiming to have killed at least one ISIS-K “planner” via drone strike, with no apparent civilian casualties. We have no name. We have none of the traditional drone video showing the actual assassination. We are told the person might have been planning “future attacks.” The timing was suspiciously quick – one day after the Kabul airport massacre, which supposedly was expected, but still was not prevented.

VIEWS: We now are being told that our recently bumbling hierarchy got off quick and specific retaliation, which continues Sunday even as I type this. Believe It or Not!

NEWS: There are reports today of a drone strike on suicide bombers in an explosive-laden truck on their way to the Kabul airport, resulting in a massive explosion. There also was word of a rocket attack lacking in details. Sketchy initial reports have claims of civilian casualties.

VIEWS: Where was all this proactive intelligence and swift action before 13 U.S. service members and scores of other innocents were killed in the initial airport bombing? Yet, we now are being given indications that vengeance has been swift and precise. Believe It or Not!

NEWS: Journalist and author Alex Berenson has been banned from Twitter for violations of misleading information standards. His latest offense was posting information about an Israeli study that finds natural immunity to COVID-19 (received from having gotten the virus and survived – so called herd immunity) is 13 times more effective against the Delta variant than that received from those widely promoted jabs.

VIEWS: This sanction probably has a lot to do with headlines such as on thehill.com, which described Berenson as a “conservative author.” Apparently this study was not approved science since it doesn’t further the vaccine narrative and Twitter, acting as an independent social media company and not a left-wing government shill, had no choice but to ban Berenson. Believe It or Not!

NEWS: Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller has been relieved of duty and likely will face a court-martial proceeding for posting a video on Facebook calling out superiors for their mishandling of the situation that led to the Kabul airport massacre. Meanwhile, Capitol police officer Michael Byrd, who once forgot his loaded weapon in a Capitol Visitor’s Center men’s room overnight in 2019 and suffered no consequences, is being praised for publicly outing himself as the man who shot and killed unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt Jan. 6.

VIEWS: Byrd claims that he saved “countless lives” by killing Babbitt, his heroism achieved while shooting at an unarmed woman target, through a broken window, alongside a barricaded door. By contrast, the people in charge of Kabul, whom Scheller publicly shamed, contributed in the death of 13 members of the American military so far, and upwards of 169 Afghan civilians. Byrd supposedly is a hero and Scheller, a villain. Believe It or Not!

Word of today’s horror at Kabul, costing the lives of 13 American military members so far, was not wholly unexpected.

Just yesterday on this blog the incompetence of the Biden regime was chronicled. That lack of ability among a president and his advisors is dangerous in the best of times, but becomes deadly in times of geopolitical flux such as that unfolding in Afghanistan.

Want additional bad news on a day already full of it? There’s more to come in the way of terrorism.

It won’t necessarily be limited to Afghanistan. The way Biden has thrown open our southern border invites terrorists to march into this country and to plot their deeds with little if any interference.

It would not surprise me to learn of terrorists coming here and immediately being put on the public dole as they work to derail this nation. Social justice warriors among the bureaucracy eagerly will sign them up for all possible governmental handouts, register them as Democrats and vote for them 10 or 15 times each, too.

It was disconcerting to see Biden stumble through his address to the nation, begun, in typical Biden fashion, 25 minutes later than advertised. Perhaps they needed the extra time to get Biden’s diaper changed.

The guy came across as frail and weak, despite his blustering about tracking down the terrorists and holding them accountable. As some qualified analysts pointed out, good luck tracking them down when your intelligence sources in Afghanistan are cowering in basements, or have left the country to avoid being handed over to the Taliban.

During his address, Biden at least partially confirmed that his clueless people had handed over lists of Americans in the country and Afghans who had aided us, to enable them to pass through Taliban checkpoints around the Kabul airport, hoping to be flown out of the country.

As one media source called it, such a compilation amounts to a death list. How convenient that the Taliban has all the names in order to search for them and, likely, to kill them.

Speaking of the Taliban, it is that terrorist group that Biden and friends have charged with protecting the outer perimeter at the Kabul airport. It likely was a Taliban-manned checkpoint through which the suicide bombers passed yesterday on their way to visiting carnage on our troops and innocent civilians.

No, said Biden, he doesn’t trust the Taliban. But they control the country so we are depending on their help.

I wonder how House Democrats, who foamed at the mouth because Donald Trump once had Russian dressing on a salad, are progressing in their impeachment plans for Biden, him having entrusted a terrorist organization to aid our troops, resulting in 13 deaths among those troops – so far.

Of course Biden blamed Trump for the Afghanistan problem, noting Trump had negotiated with the Taliban to withdraw U.S. Troops by May. Alas, Trump allegedly lost the election and so Biden came up with his own plan, but got a lot of details wrong.

First, Biden incorrectly presumed you can take out most of your military capability, including handing over your massive military air facility, without first having gotten the civilians out.

Second, Biden forgot that when you lose what Teddy Roosevelt used to call the “big stick” your diplomacy becomes a toothless tiger.

Third, hearing Biden whining about inheriting a plan and being stuck with it rings hollow. He inherited Trump strengthening our southern border, both with a physical wall and stepped up patrols, but took the guts out of that.

Biden also inherited a trade policy making inroads with China’s mercantilism, and a United States that was the largest oil producer in the world and energy independent. Already Biden, or his handlers, have dismantled those initiatives.

Biden is a stooge and most of the people he counts on for advice are similarly deficient in critical reasoning ability.

At times, this puppet reveals his strings to the public. Before opening his address to questions from the media, Biden blurted out a name and added “the first person I was instructed to call upon.”

Instructed by whom? Aren’t you the commander-in-chief?

After mishandling a few questions, Biden was looking for the exit, cutting off further inquiries by saying “I have another meeting, for real.”

Other times it isn’t “for real?”

Unfortunately, the rapid decline of this great nation after just months of Biden stewardship is very much for real.

Programs. Get your programs. You can’t tell the players – in a game, or the Joe Biden regime – without a program.

And here are the players.

DisinJenuous (Jen) Psaki: White House Press Secretary. Known to torture the facts. At first insisted no Americans were stranded in Afghanistan. Since has modified that to some might be left behind when the Taliban’s Aug. 31 deadline for the U.S. to get out has passed. No big deal and obviously she considers all who ask about this topic as being quite ridiculous. Runs press briefings (stonewall sessions) when she’s not vacationing during the crisis of the moment.

DR JILL BIDEN: First lady even though she’s Joe Biden’s second wife. Insists on being referred to as DR. JILL BIDEN, especially when addressing anything having to do with COVID-19. Seems to believe that her doctorate, even though it’s in something called “educational leadership,” gives her the credentials to issue medical advice – more correctly demands.

Joe Kabul Fool Biden: President, at least he holds the official title. Adds to his Kabul Fool credentials every time he opens his mouth and tries to insist the U.S. running out of Afghanistan, leaving people, equipment, buildings, facilities and likely money, behind isn’t nearly as bad as it looks.

Dr. Anthony Fauci: The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases actually is a medical doctor – eat your heart out DR. JILL BIDEN. But Fauci’s advice is just as suspect as DR. JILL’S. Known to offer input to the public, then contradict himself within days. Would like to see those disdaining the COVID-19 vaccines segregated into leper colonies. Thinks if one mask or vaccine is good eight or ten are even better. Meanwhile, he continues to ignore evidence that large numbers of vaccinated people are contracting COVID-19’s assorted variants. Could give Joe Biden a run for Kabul Fool title if he veers into discussing that disaster instead of the Biden regime’s disastrous response to COVID-19.

General Mark Milley: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, whose group is charged with providing military advice to the president. Most recently, Milley and his gang saw nothing to indicate the Afghanistan government would collapse in 11 days. Perhaps that’s because Milley and company have been too busy trying to turn the various military branches into acolytes of the Woke movement, content it seems that future wars can be fought successfully with social justice warriors instead of traditional troops. Milley ought to keep track of how the requests to the Taliban to be civil with the Afghan populace are met. This guy couldn’t lead a Boy Scout troop, but here he is with the president’s ear, likely getting a cold from the breeze blowing through Biden’s empty cranium.

Kamala Harris: Vice president. Her disappearing acts are becoming legendary, sparking hints that soon we will have a Where’s Kamala? series to replicate the children’s classic Where’s Waldo? Likes to be referred to as President-in-waiting.

Lloyd Austin: Secretary of Defense. We’d be better off with Austin Powers in that role.

Janet Yellen: Secretary of the Treasury. Between this job, and her former title of Chairman of the Federal Reserve, her money creation/spending excess is to be celebrated every time you see the price on essentials and luxuries you purchase rise at accelerating rates.

Antony Blinken: Secretary of State. Told the media he had “been on the phone with President Karzai” the day before the Afghanistan government fell, adding that Karzai was gone the next day and the administration collapsed. Karzai has not been Afghanistan’s president since September 2014. We apparently settled for Blinken in this role because Wynken and Nod were unavailable.

File this post under the category of history repeats itself, all life is cyclical and eventually all things come full circle.

Brutal crackdowns by Australian authorities on those who would dare to exercise freedom and oppose mandatory COVID-19 lockdowns have taken on the look of authoritarian oppression. Treatment of the protesters has been violent.

It has all the earmarks of a police state, bringing to mind the historical fact that Australia originally was populated as a penal colony for criminals from Great Britain.

Someone forgot to tell the current government that this no longer is the case.

We are seeing similar protesting pushback in the United States, from those who would argue that the government branding them as lepers, losers and criminals for refusing the questionable COVID-19 vaccinations is not in keeping with minor concepts of freedom such as those promoted in our Constitution.

Historians will note that this country was born in revolution over governmental repression from England that pales in comparison to what we now must endure if we opt not to join the flocks of sheep with their blind obedience to the government needle.

Could history repeat with another revolution? Or, more correctly, could we have another civil war? That possibility, once remote, gains credence with each additional governmental overreach.

Still on the subject of history repeating, with each passing day the Biden regime is looking more and more like the same exercise in incompetence on daily display as when Jimmy Carter bumbled his way through a single term as president.

Biden, who has been branded the Kabul Fool for his ham-handed Afghanistan pullout, seems to be attempting to emulate Carter.

Carter presided over a period of national and military embarrassment (recall the embassy hostages in Iran and our failed attempt to rescue them).

Carter’s term was marked by ramping inflation (have you bought anything lately that hasn’t gone up in price?)

Carter also saw the economy break into recession on his watch, gold and silver prices skyrocket along with interest rates, and the public mood turn into one of despair.

Carter’s administration was remarkable for its lack of polished professionals, which fully describes the Biden regime with its vacations-during-crises staffers and general inability to coordinate messages to push the same propaganda agenda.

The good news is the U.S. recovered quite nicely from the Carter debacle when a God-fearing conservative, Ronald Reagan, was swept into office by a tidal wave of revulsion from those in Middle America for Carter and the political left.

It’s arguable that such a potent political base that reveres traditional values might no longer exist in this Balkanized nation. More to the point, even if it does still exist, can it count on electing its candidates considering the bastardized election system we now have?

Yes, I still think Trump won the past election if you strip out all the fraudulent ballots.

Ideally, the nation could be put back on course with ballots. If that fails, the alternatives are not pretty, either way.

Media members are beginning to ask bumbling Joe Biden tough questions and he’s not holding his composure well under the unaccustomed heat from formerly fawning sycophants.

Where were these kinds of questions during his presidential campaign, when he hid out and said virtually nothing and it all was accepted?

Rifts within the regime, such as unhappiness in the Biden-Kamala Harris marriage of convenience, are being aired publicly.

Why now?

Polls are being published that a majority of Americans question Biden’s mental ability to be president, doubt he’s actually making the decisions, and don’t see Harris as qualified to step into the position.

Where were these people during the election, when these two lightweights allegedly won with record vote totals?

Some see these recent happenings as shocking. They’re actually fairly predictable if you’ve applied critical reasoning to the whole Biden ascent to the Oval Office.

It began when a foundering Biden campaign had life breathed into it from an unholy alliance of lamestream media, social media power brokers and others who made the determination that Biden, for all his shortcomings and ethical baggage, was the only hope of preventing Donald Trump from a second term as president.

The de facto coup attempts from the media and intelligence agencies had failed to remove Trump from office. Biden, if only he could be kept under blankets for much of the campaign, could win if the usual Democratic vote-enhancing apparatus could be magnified to heretofore unseen levels. And it was.

Harris, who had shown herself to be an empty suit during her brief presidential campaign, was viewed as key to swinging women and minorities into the Biden camp, or at least presenting a plausible explanation for any outsized gains Biden might realize in those demographics.

Biden was the beard to enable social justice warriors to get their backup dream, that being a woman of color in a position where she was but a heartbeat from the presidency. Now she wouldn’t need to win an election heading the ticket, just wait like a vulture for Biden’s physical and mental decline to reach a death spiral.

When the time came, and that time seems to be now, the pretense that Biden is capable could be dropped. Throw him to the wolves in the media who have new marching orders. Watch him fumble and bumble under the pressure of the office, and collapse predictably into a puddle of incoherent babble.

All of a sudden the egomaniacal DR. JILL BIDEN would have no helpers in keeping the reality of Joe Biden hidden behind the curtain.

That’s why Biden has continued to be trotted out in public to duck blame and rationalize the chaotic Afghanistan pullout by blaming Trump, gutless Afghan political leadership and military, and any other number of patsies for the debacle.

This isn’t playing well with a skeptical public and Biden’s handlers know it.

If the Biden puppeteers had wanted to keep Joe viable as president, they would have cut off his media exposure after his address to the nation in which he noted – correctly – that it was time to get out of Afghanistan.

It’s the details, and Biden’s consistently pathetic and contradictory rationalizations for the continuing horror stories about that Afghanistan pullout, that are undermining any faith that his acolytes among the public had in him.

Expect Biden to be allowed to continue to twist in the wind as more and more sad tales from Afghanistan get full-blown media coverage from people who formerly asked Biden “hard-hitting” questions about his preferences in ice cream or socks.

When the time is right, Biden’s handlers will leak some damning story to the media, or provide video of him sitting under his desk sucking his thumb, or reveal some Hunter Biden baggage that can’t be explained away.

Or maybe it will be something else, like Biden taking himself out of the picture, citing physical and/or mental problems. But if Biden doesn’t take advantage of that possible out, make no mistake he is being walked to the gallows and one or more of his former allies have their hands on the lever that will open the trapdoor.

All that’s left to be determined is the timing.

Let me tell you about my experience with COVID-19 protocols for visitors at my mother’s long-term care facility, a mishmash microcosm of the misguided and superficial policies being practiced across the nation and around the world.

Mostly, these alleged safety measures are a mixture of the dog and pony show, Potemkin village and kabuki theater.

The phrase all hat and no cattle comes to mind.

First, some history, although one official at the facility at which my mother resides once told me that we have to forget history and look ahead. The fact that we were discussing her facility’s poor history in delivering quality care to my mother on many fronts – in this case, specifically food – probably had a lot to do with her dismissal of history and its relevance.

No visits were allowed at this facility over a sustained period in the recent past to prevent, as we were told at the time, visitors exposing residents to COVID-19. We were assured that the visitation ban would not last long.

I begged to differ and offered the two supervisory types who were telling this to me and my brother that I’d bet them $1,000 each at 10-1 odds it would last longer than a month. I also offered to let them go up and down the hall to get others to bet against me, giving the same 10-1 odds.

There were no takers. Too bad, because I’d have booked a lot of profit.

But my mother did test positive for COVID-19 during the visitation closure. Presumably a staffer had infected her, which was just as I had predicted at the time of the bet offerings.

This is what the odds dictated. If you ever visit a long-term care facility, take note of how few visitors there are. Most of the residents are warehoused — forgotten and/or ignored by friends and family. Staff vastly outnumbers visitors.

My mother, despite being 84 years of age and possessing many pre-conditions that were said to make COVID-19 particularly deadly, fortunately came through without problems.

When the facility re-opened to visitors, it was mandated that masks must be worn to enter the facility and while one is inside the doors. Visits are limited to two visitors at a time in the resident’s room. Visiting hours are only 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There is a sign-in procedure in which names of the visitor and resident, time of entry, and temperature of the visitor are logged. Also various questions are asked. Upon departure, time and temperature again are entered into the log.

The temperature scanning device is suspect, registering me most of the time at 97.9 degrees Fahrenheit. My brother once clocked in at 92.4 or thereabouts, well below the hypothermia threshold of 95 degrees. I’m guessing that was an error.

The temperatures are a running joke with the people who sit at the nearby reception desk. Just today, when my brother and I checked out, me at 97.9 (again) and him with a similarly suspect reading, he remarked that he doesn’t really trust the results and the woman at the desk replied that she doesn’t either.

Then why do them?

There also is a column on the log sheet in which visits are recorded either as accepted or denied. I have seen the column filled out many lines deep beforehand, giving acceptances to people yet to arrive, sign in, or test their temperatures.

Similarly, I have come and gone with no determination of whether the visit I already had made had been approved.

I tell you all this because I am reasonably certain this sort of bureaucratic nonsense is being repeated locally, nationally and worldwide.

Think of how the authorities have flip-flopped on details of whether or not wearing masks helps prevent spread of the virus. Think of the conflicting reports on the effectiveness of vaccines. Think about microscopic percentages of deaths from COVID-19 infections and how we now have headlines blaring numbers of new infections instead of deaths.

Above all, think of how any reports that question the dire assessments of COVID-19, or tell of promising treatments, are censored.

Much of the COVID-19 narrative bears the stench of a psychological operation to keep the citizenry scared and, most of all, compliant.

Against that backdrop, I dutifully don my mask and fill out the log upon each visit to my mother. But I see it for what it is, that being a triumph of style over substance and nothing more.

So much is happening, and there’s so little time to process it all.

The need is real for another installment of news and views.

NEWS: Reports are coming out indicating that the long-running, almost forgotten John Durham investigation into the false Russian dossier regarding Donald Trump may be near to naming names of FBI agents and others who acted improperly in the sham attempt to discredit Trump.

VIEWS: Wake me when something actually comes of this long-running farce, which was supposed to be reported last year. The Hillary Clinton link to the false dossier already has been well-documented, as have assorted misdeeds by our so-called “intelligence community,” that being the same group who assured all that Afghanistan was not going to collapse quickly, but it did. Maybe a little public shaming of these arrogant types would be good for the nation’s collective soul, but somehow that doesn’t seem to be enough.

NEWS: Now that the Taliban has taken control of Afghanistan, it is sending people door-to-door to confiscate guns from the citizens because, in the words of one Taliban official as quoted by Reuters “People no longer need them for personal protection.”

VIEWS: That Taliban official sounds a lot like our left-wing radicals here in the good, old USA, who want to ignore the Second Amendment and seize the guns owned by the public because we don’t really need them. Just ask the people in Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, or even the Moxham section of tiny Johnstown about the need for law-abiding citizens to own guns despite what progressive socialists maintain. And Joe Biden, who in one gun-control screed during June noted there was no sense in the public being armed here to protect from overzealous government because we in the public don’t possess F-15 fighter jets or nuclear weapons. Neither did the Taliban, but it kicked our collective butts. Take notes, Joe.

NEWS: New Zealand has gone on full lockdown because a single case of COVID-19 has been detected. One, in the entire country.

VIEWS: Just when you thought the likes of California and New York were the best examples of Covidiocy, along comes New Zealand to compete for the crown. Australia, which has been over-reacting longer than New Zealand, is finding lockdowns aren’t working. But just ignore that, stay home, wear five masks, and keep your distance from your friends and family.

NEWS: Crude oil prices have been falling lately, yet gasoline prices don’t seem to be following the trend.

VIEWS: It’s a common occurrence. The purveyors of retail gasoline note that the oil refined to make the gasoline was bought weeks earlier, so oil price declines have a lag before impacting gasoline prices. Fair enough, so why when oil shoots up quickly, within hours gasoline prices are being raised at the pump? You can’t have it both ways, people.

NEWS: Those forward-thinking Taliban types are warning that unless the thousands of American soldiers rushed to Afghanistan to cover the retreat of staff and civilians must be out of the country by Sept. 11 (a date no doubt just arbitrarily picked and not meant to convey any extra meaning).

VIEWS: There’s nothing wrong with Afghanistan that couldn’t be cured by some well-delivered neutron bombs, the kind of lower-yield nuclear devices designed to eliminate the people but spare the buildings and other infrastructure.

The ongoing debacle in Afghanistan is a bi-partisan issue, with plenty of blame to be distributed on both sides of the political isle.

Simply put, Democrats and Republicans are equally responsible for the wasted lives, wasted dollars, wasted time, spent, as Joe Biden succinctly put it today, to fight another country’s civil war.

Four U.S. presidents have spent 20 years presiding over the Afghanistan experience.

The lesson learned, one we should have learned long ago, is you don’t fight a war unless you are willing to do whatever it takes to win it unconditionally.

The concept of “limited war” began in Korea. All these years later, that country still is divided into North and South.

Vietnam was another limited war with pathetic outcomes considering the costs in lives and national treasure.

We started out OK in Iraq, but quickly lost our way there. Afghanistan has been Korea and Vietnam rolled up into one seemingly never-ending example of how not to accomplish a goal.

I’m often critical of Joe Biden, but he was clear and concise in this livestream today on the internet that the United States no longer should fight in wars the country’s residents aren’t willing to fight for themselves.

Let us return to a combination of isolationism and Monroe Doctrine. Unless the threats are in this hemisphere, we ignore them.

The situation in Afghanistan is the equivalent of the police officers’ no-win domestic disturbance call. You show up to protect one side and, before you know it, both sides are fighting you.

Afghans are giving the French a run for their “Retreat. We Give Up” crown, earned through military misadventures from Napoleon onward.

Our intelligence services come away looking ridiculous, too, with their time estimates of how long it would take Afghanistan to collapse once Americans no longer were doing the fighting. The promised months disintegrated to hours.

“We could not provide them with the will to fight,” a wistful Biden noted after recounting a list of training, support and payroll the U.S. had invested in a 300,000 man army that collapsed like a tent in a windstorm.

Biden said he won’t be adventurous militarily going forward. Hopefully he can recall saying that in the future, when the cries will go out – as they always do – to intervene in some God-forsaken patch of real estate elsewhere.

It’s time American leadership learns from the lessons of Korea, Vietnam and now Afghanistan. Go big, or stay home.

The left-wing radicals love to toss out any objective measure of a matter, which is why they’ve added the math-is-racist crusade to their progressive wish list.

Much better to argue feelings, emotions, all manner of other intangibles than to be pinned down and required to cite honest statistics. When a numerical measure of a situation is readily available, their default solution too often seems to be to make up some number.

Enter the Centers for Disease Control (And Prevention), our federal propaganda wing that might as well be re-christened Centers for Disseminating Crap (And Prevarication).

The CDC was caught with its hand in the metaphorical cookie jar this week, overstating COVID-19 numbers for Florida, that state being under hard federal attack for failing to bow to virus dictates.

CDC reported COVID-19 case numbers for Florida that had to be reduced by 50 percent (that’s one-half for you people who believe math is racist) after state officials cried foul. How was such an error made?

Good question.

Better question: Why do these errors always seem to be made in the direction that advances the Biden administration narrative?

Recall the guy who died in a motorcycle accident, but tested positive post-mortem for COVID-19 and so was lumped into that category to help bolster the case? That’s become a template.

Second better question: Will we see an avalanche of lamestream media corrections on the matter of this CDC distortion of the Florida numbers?

Don’t hold your breath.

To reiterate, if you don’t like the numbers, make up some that favor your position and hope no one calls you on them.

Because, after all, math is racist.

Clueless Joe Biden got off his script today and reinforced the argument of those who question the soundness of his mind.

Biden was looking to take a victory lap for his half-passed stimulus/infrastructure legislation (getting it through the Senate is only half the battle), but Clueless Joe was asked about his political pal Andrew Cuomo announcing that he will resign – in due time – as governor of New York.

Cuomo has mounting allegations of sexual misconduct against him, some of which have been investigated and substantiated. He also is being investigated for the way he handled the nursing homes in his state during the original COVID-19 crisis and whether death numbers were fudged.

That’s a lot of baggage being carried by a guy who Biden said today did, “a hell of a job” as governor.

Give credit to some of the media on hand who found this incredulous.

Biden was asked how he could say a man with the taint that Cuomo now has did a “hell of a job” as governor? The accusations against Cuomo are interwoven with him carrying out governor duties.

Biden’s handlers, led by the Ginger Mouthpiece, were quick to clarify that Biden was praising Cuomo only for infrastructure gains. But Biden himself threw in “access to voting” and a “whole range of things” in his “hell of a job” statement.

For all we know, Biden believes Cuomo handled the nursing home matter well, too, within that “whole range of things” blanket endorsement.

Clueless Joe sounds like those who were willing to look past the atrocities committed by former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and note that at least “he made the trains run on time.”

To borrow a pet phrase of Biden, Come on, man!

Imagine Biden at a press conference after Nazi war criminal Adolf Hitler committed suicide.

Breathless media questioner: Mr. Biden, how would you rate Hitler’s performance overall in Germany?

Biden: You mean aside from all the stuff he did to the Jews, the millions of innocent civilians whose deaths he had a hand in, the carnage he wrought in Europe? And leaving out any personal foibles?

Breathless media questioner: Yes.

Biden: Well, Hitler did have a hand in the birthing of the Volkswagen Beetle and who among our generation hasn’t owned or ridden in one of those great vehicles?

Ginger Mouthpiece: Of course the president was not endorsing any of Hitler’s atrocities. But I would remind you that, like Mussolini, President Biden is making sure the trains of COVID-carrying illegal immigrants are getting to their United States destinations on time.
