The two things I enjoy reading the most are report cards for either of my boys with straight-As, or a Democrat-friendly puff-piece in a major publication gone horribly wrong.
Since report cards arenât due for another three weeks, I guess weâll just have to make do today with Sarah Baxterâs clueless revelation that Joe Biden isnât up to the job of being president â and that heâs basically turned the job over to an appointee who didnât even need Senate consent.
Hell, Baxterâs Times (of London) article even puts âPresident Klainâ right up top in the headline.
âPresident⊠WHO?â I hear you ask.
Before we get to that, the The Times isnât exactly a raid left-wing publication. Itâs owned by Rupert Murdoch, although admittedly that doesnât mean what it once did, and is probably center or center-right most of the time.
Still, the tone of Sundayâs âAmerican Diaryâ piece is uniformly friendly to the Biden White HouseâŠ
âŠitâs âmerelyâ the content thatâs more shocking than a wet fork stuck in an outlet with no breaker.
For a taste of the friendly tone, look no further than Baxterâs lede:
The nameâs Klain â President Klain. Washington insiders delight in assigning the White House chief of staff this mischievous title as the driving force behind the actual president, Joe Biden. The man himself, Ron Klain, would never describe himself this way, but his firm grip on the levers of government has enabled the 78-year-old president to cruise through his first 100 days in office without breaking sweat.
Fluffing is a most unserious way for a journalist to behave, but weâre all used to seeing now, arenât we?
Baxter says that âalthough few people outside the Beltwayâ have even heard of Klain, he is a âpowerful, confident operatorâ whom Biden trusts to âexercise power and take decisions.â Klain even âkeeps his boss informed while lifting the burden of office from him.â
Goodness. And weâre only two paragraphs into the story.
If you had wondered who the power was behind the Fixodent, now you know. And if you had wondered if I should keep referring to Slow Joe as âPresidentish Biden,â all doubts have been removed.
From there, Iâm sorry to have to tell you, Baxter starts gushing like Yellowstone as it unleashes an extinction-level event:
Klain, 59, has recently emerged from the shadows as the surprising face of the administration on Twitter, where he touts Bidenâs achievements with gusto under the handle @WHCOS, for White House chief of staff. His output is very different in style to Donald Trumpâs but equally triumphal. Among his latest tweets was a Reuters/Ipsos poll showing 55 per cent of Americans approved of Bidenâs job performance, as opposed to 38 per cent who disapproved. He also highlighted a Washington Post article headlined: âNo wonder the president has a bounce in his step.â
If youâve ever wondered what itâs like to drown in a vat of Velveeta, now you know. And if you have ever wondered that, you might want to keep it to yourself (unlike me right now).
But back to the more alarming stuff, because if Baxterâs boosterism is notable, itâs only because itâs a bit more exuberant than weâve come to expect.
According to Baxter, Klain is âthe ultimate enablerâ who âdetermined to secure Bidenâs place in the pantheon of presidents, with Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson.â
If Klain gets his way, this country will spend and tax itself into oblivion for the noble cause of proving what a big, swinging dick he is.
It surely wonât be because of anything President Porchlight is doing because, as Baxter writes, Biden is âpacing himself.â Thatâs according to a âseasoned officialâ who basically admitted that Biden isnât capable of performing his duties â and said so âwryly.â
Weâre supposed to be charmed to learn that the country is being run by an appointed hack with an ego so dense that not even light can escape from it.
Letâs give credit to Baxter for including this bit, however: A former colleague told her that Klain is âis so smart he doesnât understand when he is wrong.â
And heâs running the White House, apparently without adult supervision.
Sleep tight.
The Inmates are running the Asylum! Truer words were never spoken…also, the Blind leading the Blind! What a joke! Only, it’s not funny! When will the Press, a Honest Journalist, a Honest News Media, finally come to grips with the truth after they have continually swallowed this Crap and need to finally admit that they all have been “Suckered” and led by the nose! I don’t know how any of them can sleep at night, unless they are so far gone it really don’t matter any more!
