Joe Biden is heading back from an embarrassing trip to Saudi Arabia and the middle east. Putting aside the fact that physically and mentally Biden looked weak, foolish, and generally incoherent, in an odd way he was appropriately representative of the current of U.S. influence on the global stage.
Before getting to detail, first it is important to emphasize a point that doesn’t get attention domestically. Democrats are exceptionally weak on all aspects of foreign policy, specifically because their modern ideology is based on hypocrisy of a stunning magnitude.
Domestically, the U.S. media protect democrats by spinning everything into the best light possible.
However, on the world stage the non-western leaders like Putin, Xi and MbS use that hypocrisy like geopolitical ammunition.
Examples… Domestically the U.S. media do not bring up the Joe Biden Afghanistan mess, the rise -and current legitimacy- of the terrorist Taliban; or the brutal mess Barack and Hillary created in Libya; or the unauthorized intervention into Syria that created ISIS; or the complete fubar that was an illegitimate invasion of Iraq; or Hillary’s insufferable “reset” in Russia; or their inability to deal with China’s proxy province of North Korea (because they pretend it’s not); or the current circus célebrè in Ukraine.
Each region, and there are many more, a typical example of how modern democrats are fundamentally weak on foreign policy. It is not just Joe Biden either; just about every leftist head of state within the alliance of “western democracies” are also pathetically impotent when it comes to influence on a global stage.
The U.K’s Boris Johnson, Canada’s Justin Trudeau, New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern and France’s Emmanuel Macron are collectively as pathetic as Biden when it comes to leadership and influence. Once they step out of their ‘liberal democracy‘ bubble, and head into a nation that doesn’t have state run media like CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, Politico and/or The New York Times, those leaders look like the pathetic fools they are.
Biden and the rest of the leftist heads of state decry “autocracy,” and wax philosophically about “western democratic values”, while standing atop two years of their authoritarian pandemic rules, regulations, mandates and unilateral fiats. Consider their chase for their beloved climate change energy policy and contrast it against their political pearl-clutching over the energy inflation they created.
Is it any surprise that Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador want’s nothing to do with the other two knuckleheaded leaders of North America who are selling windmills while regulating traditional oil, coal and natural gas out of existence? At a certain point, a good neighbor has to look at the duct-taped landscaping and say this is ridiculous. I digress.
The point is, the so called “western values” are nothing more than high-minded think tank talking points. Nowhere in actual policy do you find western values exhibited in real world action. Biden wants to confront Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS), or Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping over possible human rights abuses, while the same Joe Biden is locking up his political opposition under the justification of an insurrection? Wait, what?
Yeah, so we started a civil war in Libya and thousands of people are dying in the aftermath. So what? Biden is here to talk about the Khashoggi splinter your eye, not the Abu Ghraib plank in his. And, oh yeah, don’t you dare talk about Biden shutting down pipelines and his beloved Green New Deal, just give the U.S. more oil damn you, or something.
I remember well in 2016 when the U.S. media were saying Hillary Clinton was going to mop the floor with Donald Trump at a foreign policy debate. All Trump did was point out the stupid Clinton state dept hypocrisies and it looked like he just threw a bucket of water on the wicked witch. Hillary melted, and it was hilarious.
Fast forward four years later and another foreign policy matchup was scheduled between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Do you remember what happened? If not, it wouldn’t be surprising, because THEY CANCELLED THE DEBATE. Why? …
…. Because Trump the peacemaker had just introduced the Abraham Accords. There was actual peace in the Middle east. The U.S. embassy in Israel was built in Jerusalem, without violence. The U.S. under Trump had a peaceful relationship and mutual understanding with North Korea and Kim Jong Un. North and South Korea were talking about reunification. ISIS was destroyed; there was no longer any issue with Syria, and Turkish PM Erdogan was both accountable and on a leash. There was no conflict with Russia; no expansion of NATO, and every NATO country finally paying for their own defense. Yeah, go figure, THEY CANCELLED THE DEBATE.
Donald Trump had the upper hand in all of his foreign policy engagements, because Trump foreign policy was not inherently based on hypocrisy.
Joe Biden, not so much…
From MbS as interpreted: “We agree on many things, but we differ on a few others. Every country has its own culture and circumstances. I respect yours, you respect mine. Do not impose your culture on us. Do not impose your beliefs on us.” … “We agree we need to do more for climate change, but you guys are doing it wrong by favoring certain energy sources over others. The world needs energy security. We need all energy sources including oil & gas. We are doing our part on both fronts: climate change & energy security.” … “The stage of a country’s economic & social development must be considered in climate change negotiations.” … “We are increasing our production capacity to 13 million barrels per day (from 12 mb/d), but that is it. We cannot do more.” The message here is: You guys do your part and invest more if you want to avoid energy crises, recessions, and unemployment. Do NOT blame us!
(Via Wall Street Journal) – After his meeting with the crown prince, Mr. Biden said he felt confident that Saudi officials are supportive of increasing oil supply in the coming weeks. But Saudi officials tempered expectations, reiterating that the kingdom would do what is needed to balance the market if there is a shortage of supply.
Any action, Saudi officials said, would need to be coordinated with the rest of OPEC+, a coalition that includes the Saudi-led Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and a separate group of crude producers led by Russia. OPEC+’s current production agreement is expiring at the end of August, setting up some crucial decisions about output for the Saudis and Russians in the next month.
[…] Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said after the summit that there had been no discussion of military or technical cooperation with Israel.
Aside from the U.S. saying the Saudis would work to settle the war in Yemen, which it was already doing, the White House didn’t detail any specific human rights-related concessions that the kingdom agreed to during the meeting.
To the Saudis, the benefit of the visit was more immediately evident. From the moment Mr. Biden arrived at the gilded royal palace in this seaside city, Saudi officials enthusiastically held up the meeting as evidence of the crown prince’s renewed influence. State media promoted photos and videos of the two leaders together. Saudi newspapers later showcased images of the duo bumping fists and sitting together at a conference table. “All Weather Friends,” read one local headline.
“The fact that they’ve come and met means we can resolve these matters quicker and faster, because there’s a personal relationship, and the kingdom has historically had a personal relationship with the president of the United States,” said Princess Reema bint Bandar, the Saudi ambassador to Washington. “So, this isn’t a matter of turning the page. This is a matter of strengthening the relationship.”
Mr. Biden is the latest world leader to make the trip to see the 36-year-old crown prince after years of keeping him at arm’s length over the killing of Mr. Khashoggi. French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to Saudi Arabia in December, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson made the trip in March. (read more)
LOL!!!!! That headline just smacked me into a laugh I have not had in a very long time. TY, SD!
Too bad this is not a comedy.
If it walks like a duck….
Hey , WSB 🙋♀️
Have missed You !
Wishing You Well 💐
Absolutely Agree , Hilarious Headline ..
*beggar joe*
and his tin cup 😄
#MeToo
Laughter is all we got sometimes. Hey saw the other comments I remember you sir. If it’s same WSB. Hope you are well.
Those pictures are worth more than a thousand words, unfortunately…the whole world is laughing at us! I miss my country!
The world isn’t laughing at us. They are pitying us for having a moron in the WH!
No … they are all hoping and praying the Democrats hold power and keep driving America off a cliff
Hoping? It’s a done deal, they’re just wondering how much longer it’ll take.
Wrong! President Trump with our help will right the American ship of Fools! Watch.
Exactly right! This place is full of surrendered people. Geesh
The Bot Masters are not sending their best.
Bot masters? LOFL
They should be afraid and disturbed, I think many of them are
Khashoggi happened to be a CIA agent working for the Washington Post as a cover.
if Biden gave a crap about journalists, he would be respecting Laura Logan and others who have been cancelled.
You can tell which Americans who have been captured or killed under a Democrat President. When they raise a fuss, it is always a US spy. When the govt says nothing about their capture or death, and then does nothing to try to get them released, they are a nobody. Except under Trump.
No they are clearly laughing because in times past our negotiating card was that big strong United States military looming in the backdrop or pallets of greenbacks.
Haha but not anymore, the world leaders know we broke and they also watch as Russia eats both NATO and our lunch in Ukraine.
So in like response other nation such as Saudi Arabia says, “you can’t impose your values on us by force”
I love it what comes around goes around.
Now it’s time for judgment on the the almighty United States of America.
The foreign affairs / national security gene disappeared from democrat DNA during the Vietnam era and has absolutely zero chance of regenerating.
We certainly do not need another Vietnam War.
Vietnam was a proxy war….these morons are trying to get us into a direct shooting war with Russia
If these morons were in charge/control, it would’ve happened already. They AIN’T in charge/control.
You mean, like Ukraine?
Or Afghanistan?
People have forgotten that the draft is still in place.
That alone scares me to death with this illegitimate regime.
lets go brandon
fjb
Biden goes to the Mid-East and come back after making the US look like a horses-ass.
Thought Obama was bad in making a mockery of the US. Now he has a literal empty suit to to use for one-upping his prior acts.
Obama had to “kill osama” so the bowing to SA was necessary to keep the fraud going.
But, but, but … the Saudis dismembered a representative of The Press. The HOLY Press …
the Saudis would have a field day in the US dismembering our “news” reporters for multiple kinds of crimes
Josef Stolen Biden is living proof that horse’s asses don’t have to come with actual horses.
we are finding out how the late empire Romans felt about bad and insane government
It took 2000 mules to elect one horse’s ass.
x 1000
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hope you don’t mind if I may borrow this Seneca! Greatness!
“Honor the Holocaust”
What a Maroon!
Biden doesn’t have to burn fossil fuel to make the US look bad. He does that very well sitting in his basement.
In 6 months we make Biden irrelevant on the domestic side. BRICS, Saudi Arabia, and Russia are making him irrelevant on the foreign policy side as we speak.
WE didn’t make him irrelevant on the domestic side, and Brics etc. aren’t making him irrelevant on the foreign policy side, either.
HE (Joe) and his handlers, along with ALL those who participated in the Steal, made him irrelevant.
He is relevant — he’s destroying this nation. He is very relevant to those whose bidding he is doing.
Whatever Saudi Arabia thought of Joe Biden before has now been confirmed 100% sitting there talking with him face to face. What a disaster and a complete embarrassment. The mocking and the laughs must have been very entertaining.
We should also keep in mind that this is the laughing that is taking place when the amused know that they are in public and on camera. I am certain ever so much more laughter is taking place behind closed doors. Joe Biden is the public face of the Globalist American Empire. He will be remember in world history if for no other reason than his buffoonery will be a staple of political humor for generations.
Don’t we have a Secretary of State? Is this not the sort of thing that they are supposed to handle? Who advised this trip?
Calling Mr. Blinken. Please pick up on the red line.
The SOS is the presidential advisor on US foreign affairs. The SOS is appointed by the POTUS with the consent of the Senate.
The SOS is supposed to conduct negotiations relating to US foreign affairs, ideally benefiting Americans.
Blinken needs to be reminded that the US encompasses a rather large land mass with a rather large population that do not agree with high priced petrol and needs to get his boss refocused.
The thief in chief confirms, on a daily basis, that the US is in serious trouble.
This trip was nothing more than a photo op.
https://www.state.gov/duties-of-the-secretary-of-state/
What does Blinken do?
Photo op for even more bad press. Why not?
I suppose it is just too much to expect the Usurper in Chief to refuse to “do business” with the Saudis (and any other islamic country or group).
Too few Americans, and certainly not our government, seem to understand evil in general or islamic evil in particular.
Most Americans (assuming they can break away from their fun and entertainment long enough to think about islam at all) believe the standard lie typified by the Bushes that islam is really a peaceful religion and the myriad acts of savagery in its name somehow do not represent the true nature of islam.
One has to be deaf and blind not to see that ALL of our (and the rest of the “civilized west”) “involvements” in and with islamic countries and groups since before the first “Gulf War” have been unspeakably disastrous. Not only have we lost precious lives and incalculable treasure in these misadventures, but our “involvement” has actually left things in a much worse posture than they would likely have been had we just stayed home and minded our own business.
Certainly the humiliating and tragic retreat from Afghanistan has both armed and equipped the Taliban such that they are now one of the better armed “militaries” in the world but as importantly we have emboldened islamists who only understand force in their 8th century mindset.
As a 33 year retired combat Marine officer, I believe we should have nothing further to do with islam (including Turkey) and instead let them kill each other in their Sunni/Shia internecine conflict. If and when a legitimate (not a wag the dog lie) and actionable threat to our actual national security interests arises in an islamic nation, we then eliminate it with overwhelming force, primarily using stand off weapons rather than ground forces. Never again should we maintain any military presence on the ground in any islamic nation but rather deal with threats violently and quickly in a “flyswatter” fashion without any attempt at “nationbuilding” etc.
Of course this approach also means we must return to being energy independent as we were under 45.
You may get your wish sooner than you think. If a multipolar world reemerges the US will lose the capability to control every corner of the world, nor will we want to. Find that map of the world that sundance puts up that shows the western world in yellow. The yellow areas will be the dominion of the US plus some shipping lanes across the globe.
Fine with me.
” I believe we should have nothing further to do with islam (including Turkey) and instead let them kill each other in their Sunni/Shia internecine conflict.”
Your plan has one major flaw.
It makes way too much sense.
” Never again should we maintain any military presence on the ground in any islamic nation but rather deal with threats violently and quickly in a “flyswatter” fashion without any attempt at “nationbuilding” etc.”.
Diana West (from quite some years ago now. and so much smarter than our Bourbon Generals)
Could a culture that wasn’t emasculated, dumbed down, and distracted even consider such a pusillanimous idea as COIN[(Ismaic) Nation Building]? It’s Kipling’s “Danegeld” on overdrive. Is there no decency left in the Pentagon?
And don’t even get me started on sacrificing our young men for a depraved hopeless country like Afgh. Actually, not even for Afgh. They are being sacrificed for the vanity of those who hatch ideas like COIN [(Ismaic) Nation Building], and who, even when those ideas fail spectacularly, will not face reality.
The vain ones don’t have to. Like guests at a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, they get to *move on* from their messes, to be promoted, to paint pictures in plush retirement, take seats on corporate board$, teach “leadership” classes, gather up honors at black-tie galas. It’s a luxe life, and no one calls them on it, not even to acknowledge what they have wrought.
Others are not so fortunate.
Will there ever be a reckoning?
Excellent riposte!
Excellent post, sir, and thank you for your service. Your words are pure common sense, and far advanced for someone so young. If we only lived in a country that was not irredeemably corrupt, such sensible words would surely be national policy. But those days ended with Eisenhower, if not before. Eisenhower said “The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist” [Emphasis added]. He didn’t tell us what we should do if that potential ever became reality, but reality it has surely become. At this point, the enemy most threatening to the American people is a purely domestic one, not a foreign one, and I agree completely that we should leave Islam to fester in the country’s enslaved by it.
Everything happening points to a certain external enemy exploiting the US weaknesses to bring it down over 50-100 years.
The US internal enemies are co-opted in this program.
“Those with eyes to see” will understand after reading this:
https://suntzusaid.com/
Correct. Most American sheeple now have attention spans measured in the time between commercials for their reality shows and sports and critical thinking skills of a gnat.
As a result, our implacable and existential enemies, foreign and domestic (that include the globalists, Russia, Red China and islam among others) play chess while our government (those parts not yet fully controlled by the globalist fifth column) play checkers.
Thank you for your service, from a mom who’s kid ‘stood in the boot prints’ at Paris Island. My son was also friends with one of the Marines deliberately stranded and killed on ‘that hill top’, because of women and children down below, under Obama, 10-12 years ago.
In this house, we take a dim view of the Islamic ideology. You are right on every point.
I want to know, in 2022, why is there media ‘radio silence’ on what is going on over there. They did not suddenly come to the table to not blow it up. Are they even at the table? Am thinking not. I believe they are still plotting our demise. They still want to convert the world to their ideology. But they also want Palestine. So this administration is playing a dangerous game? Time will tell.
Yet, the ‘radio silence’ implies, to the average American uneducated in foreign affairs policy and negotiations, that under the potatus, all is good and at ‘peace’.
Yes, let them wipe out each other.
I compare ‘nation building’ to the American housing market; a lot of money gets spent on rebuilding and furnishing all sorts of things, infrastructure included.
Follow the money. 12 years ago, Lockheed Martin stock traded at $60, now its about $400.
An excellent post and encouraging to see at least a few Americans who actually understand the evil that is islam (yes—ALL of it).
It is truly a death cult that will allow no infidel to live in their imagined global caliphate.
Islam has spread primarily through Hijrah—the islamic method of jihad where they use immigration as the means to eventually dominate their enemy. When I last looked those already here are reproducing at a rate about 7 times faster than white Americans.
If you doubt this look at cities such as Dearborn MI and Minneapolis. This is how they roll—cluster in a local area, get a voting bloc majority and put islamists in office.
Meanwhile we enjoy our “reality” shows, porn on Netflix and sports—all controlled by our mortal enemies.
One MUST always remember that most of the time when the US is “nation building” overseas,
the prime objective is a payoff of some kind to the politicians.
Everyone knew the Mideast trip would be a complete waste of jet fuel.
I’m more po’d about the waste of oxygen
Who is the guy in the white robe, last photo?
He is the guy who just sold Biden two donkeys and a camel for a million bucks.
I think he was saying that JB farts more than a feral camel.
He planned joetato’s menu.
FJB probably left a dark wet spot in MBS’s chair after FJB was told to pound sand.
They double depended the schiff stain, so there would be no wet, or brown spot!
I’ve often said that world leaders must be laughing hysterically at this clown. I guarantee you, whether they liked Donald Trump or Ronald Reagan, they respected them and feared American resolve.
I suspect that many nations liked President Trump and thought he was good for the world.
Just because the globalists one world order cabal and their complicit media thought/reported
otherwise, doesn’t make it true.
People say this make America look bad!
I did not vote for Old Joe and I want to know how he was elected. Who on this planet was apart of getting him in office, I mean every foreign country involved in his being there.
Every person institution every country needs to have some retribution come down on them.
Yes, we should be laughed at for allowing this to continue and for not putting a stop ot it long ago.
George Soros is responsible for installing Biden into the White House. It was a “deal”, set in stone when NY took Bernie out of their primary race.
China, China, China
Well … THAT would JACK gas and diesel prices!! But SD … there’s still hope … The Saudis are taking feeble Joe’s request to the full board of OPEC.
Why is Joe intent of replicating the oil embargo of the 1970’s? Why is he SO intent on replicating Carter’s disastrous policies?
China told him to.
Does taking it to the OPEC board really improve our stance? It gives the Saudis plausible deniability and places any decisions outside of the Saudi’s responsibility. Is OPEC our friend? I doubt it.
Joe wants to destroy America. He is not paying attention and has delegated his ‘authority’ to his ministers and puppeteers that hate Americans.
Taqiyya of the highest order.
He hasn’t delegated authority, he never had it. His handlers put him front and center to be the perceived dumb old white man to take the fall for what they are doing. He is doing what’s told and enjoying every minute, especially the 10%.
Because the head of the 4th branch of government is run by OB. and he is Islamic although he hides it but watch his actions. Particularly for Iran. A lesson on Biblical history is needed. Islam from a Babylonian – Assyrian background is different from an Islam from the Abraham and sons of Keturah (second wife of Moses) background and that is what PDJT’s son-in-law Jarrod understood when they made their mideast that peace agreement.
it’s not necessary for SA to do any of those things…(I do understand the satire).
fact is though, SA has no need to do ANYTHING to destroy the US energy segment.
this administration is doing all the work.
SA could produce 25 MILLION MORE BARRELS OF OIL a day starting TOMORROW
and it would not change a single thing to improve the issues wrt to US energy.
the “prince” is many things, and most of them are very bad, but a fool and idiot he is not.
The “prince” is correct, there is no solution SA can provide to mitigate against what this administration has done and is doing.
In Biden’s post Saudi meeting he stated:
” And I’m doing all I can to increase the supply for the USA which I expect to happen”.
Is there any reporter who will follow up on that and ask if that might include rescinding his executive orders that started this whole mess?
sheepdog2: “Is there any reporter who will follow up on that and ask if that might include rescinding his executive orders that started this whole mess?”

🤣 🤣 Urmmmm…. no.
But that does remind me; where’s Jim Acosta?
Unless its Trump, we may have a very difficult time in moving forward from this ‘non-negotiating’ position that the thief in chief has placed the US of A.
If that is our ‘position’ for future negotiations, a lot of work will need to be done, by talented negotiators. IMHO.
negotiation, treaties, agreements, MOU’s, settlements. ALL of these require:
Leverage…something of value. something that carries real risk and or reward.
It really is that simple.
Now consider the situation that this administration has created.
By nulling the POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC POWER OF US OIL AND ENERGY PRODUCTION, THIS ADMINISTRATION have no leverage in the world at all.
The most powerful negotiating asset IN THE WORLD is energy and market making capability.
This administration zeroed itself out.
SA knows it
EVERYONE knows it.
you can’t tempt or pressure or bully anyone or even charm them into trading or negotiating terms without the ability to leverage an asset.
Now there IS ONE ELEMENT OF NEGOTIATION that does remain viable for the US, but it is the one that carries the most risk and violence:
US could secretly assist SA clearing out its enemies and destroy it’s opponents.
harken back to the original gulf war type of “negotiation”.
that is what gets left on the table when all other negotiation assets no longer exist.
SA isn’t interested in that either, fortunately.
It’s not the same military now. The US military is a joke to SA. What with the woke and perverts running the show, I am sure there are plenty of SA officials advising the “prince” that the chances of any success using the US military to fight their enemies are slim or worse, potentially create more problems for the stability of SA itself.
the US no longer has any leverage.
none.
this administration walked off the field…and burned the stadium down.
I think Saudi Arabia subtly did that. Their production upper limit expression leads one to wonder where future oil and gas will come from… Russia? USA? Brazil? Not Canada…
They indicated their production upper bound is 13 million barrels per day (mbd). Their current OPEC+ target is ~11 mbd (same as Russia). OPEC’s accepted methodology for forecasting global energy growth is 1:1 ratio with global economic growth and subtract slightly.
Last year’s global economic growth was 5.8% while OPEC indicated global energy growth was 5.7%. This year, early global economic growth was forecast at 3.5% while OPEC forecast global energy growth as 3.4%. Basically, every percent global energy growth equates to 1 mbd.
Going forward, where will the oil and gas come from to fuel global commerce?
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/opec-forecasts-slower-oil-demand-growth-2023-2022-07-12/
https://themedialine.org/headlines/saudi-arabia-to-increase-oil-production-to-13m-barrels-per-day/
Let us see at how the MSM will spin the story…
For certain Russia plays a vital role in meeting a significant part of current and future global demand.
that is what this war is about.
the west KNOWS it cannot continue to force big oil into a tight corner AND allow russia to interfere with it’s purely political ambition to throttle oil based global economics.
the two energy “strategies” are incompatible.
that is what this war is about.
Just five short years ago it would have been unimaginable for me to foresee the collapse of the U.S.A as a superpower and Americans accept an imbecilic criminal continue as President.
Yet here it is…
Optimism is terrific and a mainstay top for healthy living.
However realism indicates that my country ( Canada) and our benevolent neighbours to the south are on a death March.
A few of us took a trip into downtown Vancouver’s Eastside last week..there were thousands. Yes thousands of drug addicted individuals lying on the street, in the sewage ravaged lanes near Main St and Hastings.
Similar scenes are to be found in many N.A. Cities.
All left wing run, all propped up by left wing media and academia.
This kind of degradation is unsustainable if a society is to remain feasible.
The Republicans in the U.S.
The Conservative Parties in Canada and the U.K. are like Pablum.
There is nothing about them that will change the trajectory.
Faith, family and dear friends will get us through this and just maybe President will get back into his rightful position as President of the U.S.A. and go scorched earth.
I am praying that is Gods will..
Cheers, and God bless PDJT.
It is pleasing to remember that the Saudis that are backing the LIV tour that has the woke PGA tour angered, the bass turds that trashed President Trump.
Think so highly of President Trump that their next event is at PDJTs Bedminster Course and the final event of the season at his Doral Course.
😂😂 F TPGA
I love, love, love this! Vindication of a sort for President Trump!!!!!
The LIV boys seem to be holding their own in The Open this weekend.
And it was announced this week the DOJ is taking a look at anti-competitive action against the PGA by banning independent contractors (Golfers) that play for LIV.
Could be just a (squirrel!) press release, but … Wha Tha Hal? Bizarro world we live in these days.
NO one in their right mind goes downtown in Winnipeg anymore. Two Ukrainian refugees were stabbed during Canada Day celebrations. That symbolizes Winnipeg today.
I think it is much the same in Canada, the “Conservatives” are only there to protect the Libpukes form the electorate. I am bummed I may never get to snowboard Whistler. My luck would be Castreau will turn it into a junkie sanctuary.
If you are an avid snowboarder you will find Whistler spectacular.
The junkies there are in expensive hotel rooms, and are likely just out of an expensive rehab resort on an island that one would have driven by on the “ Sea to Sky” highway en route to Whistler.
Whistler is for the extremely “well heeled” but is truly spectacular.
Cheers!
Everyone remember the saber dance? That was so great!

“The point is that the so called “western values” are nothing more than high-minded think tank talking points. Nowhere in actual policy do you find western values exhibited in real world action.”
But what about the $63 Billion in aid we have given Winston Zelinsky, and in just a few months, to keep Ukraine from coming under the rule of a dictator who would outlaw all other political parties and confiscate all their assets?
Surely this is a fine example of our “western values exhibited in real world action.”?
That’s an example of the DNC milking its money laundering machine over there even harder than usual. As to the Russia policy, the CCP wants Russia split off the rest of the West permanently, and compensates DNC donors well to keep the CCP goals at the forefront.
Trump had the Crown Prince’s respect and friendship!! Joebama; obama; clinton and the both bushes did not and do not- if anything the joebama and obama oppressive and totalitarian autocratic supporters of radical islamic jihadi murdererers thugs and villains.
The joebama and oscummer’s just got handed their just due reward/payback/ and karma – along with bozo beijing biden and oscummer – the clintons and bushes were effectively shown the “f – en door”!!
Hey crooked, lying, cheating – fake, phoeny and fraudulent deep state “ “uniparty – rino cratic – nwo traitors” the entire world knows what you have done by the coup that you planned, plotted, and conducted and are trying to justify it – but be warned you cannot and will not!!
You bast•rds will pay for your domestic and foreign treason as well as crimes against humanity !! You scumbags are the neo now known as the “4th reich”!!
Probably close to 1/2 a billion or maybe even a billion spend for an empty tin cup.
Exactly.
The media should be asking Biden to prod the Saudis to produce more wind mills or solar.
If he truly hates fossil fuels, why beg them to produce more? This is counter productive to his goal.
If there was a true opposition party here it would be a great television advertisement …
Thank you for giving us more information about Biden’s visit. The only coverage that I have seen are Biden gaffes and going to sleep, the promise that Saudi Arabia would increase output to 13 million barrels a day, and the NBC reporter shouting a question about Khashoggi and his arm being grabbed by the prince’s security.
Americans come begging and think they can be rude and arrogant while doing it. Breitbart’s article today on the low number of people in Biden’s administration who have no business experience is shocking, but that lack is a true disability when trying to work with leaders of other countries.
I dont think there was ever any real intention for biden to seek oil from the sauds. It was just a facade to fool the ignorant into thinking that “well hes trying”. One just needs to listen to what the puppet masters and the politburo heads say: its green all the way baby! Welcome to the liberal world order, build back better, the great reset, or whatever flavor they want to call their living hell on earth.
Everything about green energy is nothing but bull shit. It’s all a scam driven by China so globalist WEF pigs can rape the Western nations through idiotic policies. The mere fact that the Demented Fraud goes begging for oil when the US has more oil in the ground than anywhere else in the world screams total bs
If memory serves me right … Mexico’s nationalized Oil Corp. PEMEX provides the majority of all government and welfare program funding for Mexico … and our “green new deal” FAKE POTUS … is selling them windmills and solar panels … and wants to make all fossil fuels unaffordable.
Yeah … what does dementia Joe think the Mex. President is gonna do? Bow and scrape before him? The people puppeteering Joe Bidinh are literally … criminally INSANE
Wow, that welfare program in Mexico is top notch.
And here I thought the US taxpayer funded Mexican welfare programs.
Another ill informed person.
YOU do not know what your talking about. Here.. read this. Mexico is now building more cruse oil refineries. FJB.

I just hope that Biden came home with equally empty Depends…
WHAT is going on, with the “fist bumps”?
Did the Saudis not want to shake Joes hand?
Has Joe had too many “ghost handshake” moments, where he turns and holds out his hand to shake, and nobodies there?
Is he simply not capable of having the mental acumen, to shake hands? (something most dogs and children are taught).
Its clear it was all worked out, ahead of time, that it would be ‘fist bumping’ not hand shaking,….but why?
I imagine shaking Joe’s hand might be similar to grabbing a dead fish – weak, sweaty palms, with the added sensation of involuntary geriatric shaking. Not exactly a “power handshake.” Plus there’s always the risk that in his compromised mental state, he won’t know when to let go, and in front of TV cameras that could be quite embarrassing and awkward. Eveything has to be dumbed down for Slow Joe. He has the mental capacity of a small child, and so his interactions must be choreographed as such.
Dutchman ,
Even fist-bumping joe would be too much touching for me with that perv ! Gak !
Maybe MbS felt the same !
And , I Agree , it looked all worked out ahead of time .
Best to You , Dutchman 😊

Biden thinks he looks “cool” with the fist bump
They laugh at us because our Military failed in Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. Now we are going to war with Russia, without realizing it is lost already. Our Globalist Build Back Better is an evil ideology. We need Trump’s Peace and Prosperity back.
Photoshopped the other arm out…he was actually filling his depends.
Did Joe steal his ice cream with that fist bump?
Joe’s got 3
And they ridiculed PresTrump for 2
I call ice cream disparity
Mr.Piddles~
HA !
h/t WSB 😊
Damn that MbS is smokin’ hot.
.
I thought so, too!

Biden looks uglier every day. Incredible shrinking of the “Big Guy” too.
Egg without a yolk.
Dreyfus: “The beggar was the lookout man for the gang.”
Clouseau: “That is impossible.”
Dreyfus: “Why?”
Clouseau: “He was blind. How can a blind man be a lookout?”
I am guessing that the one thing Biden did do that is going under the radar is agree to give Saudis a nuclear reactor.
I’m also guessing that in exchange MBS agree to stash a billion dollars in a Swiss bank account for the biden crime family.
Let’s go Brandon is the laughingstock of the free world. (The real free world, not the New World Order).
On one hand the world doesn’t want to see a crash and burn of the West. There’s a whole host of reasons for that from nuclear war to major economic upheaval. I have to believe the BRICS + nations are much better suited to survive than Western Nations. They started their plans in 2008. Seems they toned it down a bit in 2017. I think they were hoping and maybe even helping to some degree that America would get smart. Well some of us did but unfortunately not enough. I am well aware of the cheating but that couldn’t have worked had enough idiots refused to fall in line.
Would the Saudis agree to help us thru our political turmoil knowing that we would lampoon the oil industry and screw the world Greta Thunberg style? Hell know they wouldn’t. I have to think countries outside the sphere of Globohomo are operating on logic and common sense. We are not a serious nation anymore. My God look at Sam Brinton if you think I exaggerate. REMEMBER The highest security clearance possible. Look at that hun.
Unfortunately it’s going to take a cataclysmic event to get them to help pave the way for a soft landing. That was Trump in 16 but I don’t think they have any plans to give us another opportunity. They will continue to move forward.
FF this vid to 42:30 and watch several minutes. Look at the boats. I don’t know what to tell any of you. It has nothing to do with Jewish or black or brown. It has everything to do with this elitist group who have gotten used to the idea they must control the world. Again FF to 42:30 and don’t forget to look at the boats.

CRT. Their cure for racism via racism.
Whereas Trump would have already bought Greenland, opened up Alaska and Greenland for oil exploration and maintained our oil reserves. He would have prevented the Ukraine invasion.
JObama and Soros/WEF/cabal) has stopped the US oil and gas industry, depleted our oil reserves for China’s benefit, sent billions to Ukraine, caused catastrophic inflation, opened our borders to drugs and criminals, opened our jails or refused to jail criminals…
JObama and the globalist cabal are a clear and present danger.
Western nations the democrat party ‘liberals’ feminists and the unhinged lunatics there in have created a parallel, fantasy universe that is propped up
By media propaganda and a mentally insane education system.
Their framing about green energy and carbon free nonsense and diversity and all the rest, simply does not reflect reality and the human condition. They have to believe dozens maybe hundreds of lies to
Go along with this mentally ill mindset.
As Sundance rightfully notes, these ideas don’t hold up in nations that don’t subscribe to these fantasies. The rest of the world must laugh and just look on in amazement at all the transgender nonsense, and be speechless when we send abroad juveniles like Kamala Harris or joe Biden or Lloyd Austin as senior representatives, and not bd sure if these people can add or spell properly.
The western nations amassed a lot of wealth and an enviable position of global influence, but it diminished every day.
You know that fist bump almost seems like Biden is saying “are you down with the Covid charade?”
Because let’s not forget, SA has 800,000 cases so far of Covid – but get this: they’ve only got 9k deaths from it. What is that – just over .01?
MBS is like “yeah you f’n idiots, I’ll play along if you’ve got something I need.”
TV news banner the other day trumpeted
“Saudis to increase output 50% !”
Today we get the truth
From 12 to 13 million barrels
That’s 8 percent
That’s a boner gone limp, I’m afraid
EVERY SINGLE failure of this joe malarkey regime had a denominator:
there is no national security energy policy.
none.
nada
it “would be” one thing to realize “some” issue when attempting to transition from classic fossil fuels into alternative energy basis.
let there be zero doubts on this matter.
not ONLY has this administration FAILED TO PRODUCE A SINGLE NEW KILOWATT OF USABLE POWER WITH ANY OF THE ALT ENERGY EXPERIMENTS, BUT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DESTROYED AND RUINED THE EXISTING WORKING POWER FROM CLASSIC FOSSIL FUEL.
There IS NO TRANSITION. This administration has made a total of THREE FAILURES.
a failure to maintain two working energy basis in parallel.
a failure to produce a single kilowatt of NEW energy with alt energy
a failure to protect and maintain classic fossil fuel based economy
these are no accidental errors.
these are intentional failures…
this is not neglect or a lapse in judgment or due to some rare black swan event that no one could have predicted or planned for.
in FACT, this regime want to kill you.
if you do not realize this, do not understand the reality of the situation, you will never recover by performing what needs to be done.
this administration and all of its corruptors must be broken …complelely vanquished.
each and every single one.
you start with the secret police spy state…and then work down from there.
there is no political solution for this problem.
God Bless America
They probably think by making power and gas so expensive, along with everything else, more and more people will not be able to afford it and drastically cut back. Then, all that “leftover” power can be used for EV’s. ???
Stupid, I know. Sorry. I’m trying to think like their minions. It is hard.
it is indeed impossible for a sane and rational person to “understand” the severe defects of this administrations and it’s sycophants.
at every turn when you attempt to run down the agenda, you come up with nuts.
literally, the strategy is nuts…completely and utterly void of anything that could possibly work.
and for the record, I am not opposed to “alternative forms of energy”. I am most certainly not opposed to more clean, efficient, easy to manage, and affordable and sustainable energy.
But I don’t smoke crack.
I don’t believe in fairy tales either.
the reality is that the demented severely retarded strategies (if you can even refer to these actions as having working plans), are completely unworkable.
the current alternative energy choices being pushed by embeciles DO NOT and can not provide:
higher efficiency
sustainability
clean or ecologically reasonable use
affordability
scalability
portability
emergency/scarcity contingency
think of it this way, just as a simple and very real example:
how does one create a national strategic “energy” reserve with electric power?
how does one provide the kind of energy required by super power military both to defend the domestic conus and also project power when necessary using electric?
both of these two issues are directly associated with a working national security energy policy and strategy.
this administration has blown that all up.
we may as well refer to what is happening for the effects that this is causing:
the United States is being attacked by a foreign power.
this administration by its feckless, inept, cowardly, corrupt actions has the same effect as if a series of devastating terrorists have bombed the shit our of our infrastructure.
it will make the economic setbacks from the covid pandemic policies look like the good ole days if this continues.
we are at war.
our country is being attacked.
and we KNOW EXACTLY WHO IS CAUSING THIS AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.
DC!
So, Biden genuflects before the producers of fossil fuel and his prayers are answered with increasing gas prices. Great diplomacy, Joe. Thank you for your wonderful leadership.
How could we have elected such a nincompoop as President?
WE didn’t. They elected themselves.
Just like the windmills in Texas that are not generating due to low winds?
I am ashamed of this country. Too many patriots are doing nothing useful. It is all talk and no action. I am glad I’m old.
“I am glad I’m old.”
And so is the country. And like most old countries, there’s much in their history to be ashamed of. Clearly the American exceptionalism phase ended some 40 years ago. Now we’re better than some, and worse than others.
It seems we lost are “Mojo”, when we cancelled the Apollo program.
Germany’s natural gas reserves are not enough to see the country through next winter without purchasing additional Russian gas, the top official in charge of electricity and gas networks has told the media.
To satisfy their/our “green” ambitions, the Germans will beg the Russians for gas just like the Americans just begged the Saudis for oil. Of course it doesn’t have to be so but since when has that mattered?
Wait! We were told that DJT murdered Khashoggi!
If you compare the pics of POTUS arrival in SA and Joe arrival. What is the
significance of the fact that POTUS got RED carpet rolled out.. Yet
Joe get PURPLE.. I have never seen a purple carpet rolled out for
a Head of State?
See Sundance tweet above for that info
Purple carpet absorbs the “gender fluids”.
Red carpet for visitors OF substance. Not leaking it…
LBGQ etc.
“Empty Tin Cup and Urgent need for More Windmills” [Cowbell]
I attempted a strikethrough @ Windmills……Fail.
not funny when you have to explain….oh well.
Let’s give Biden credit where credit is due.
The Saudis punked Biden into a photo op, to show the world that the western democracies bow to them.
At least Biden was only willing to fist bump him and refused to actually bow like Obama did.
At least there is that.
Haha… I bet Erdogan is green with envy right now since Mbs just shoved him out of line as potential leader of the global caliphate.
A supremely pathetic and embarrassing display on the global stage – EXACTLY what the crazed, hateful anti-American left was hoping for.
Gosh, I hadn’t realized how much Biden is looking more and more like the last of the Knights of the Roundtable guarding the chalice in the Indiana Jones movie. It’s sad to say, but I’ve never felt less enthusiastic about the state and direction of this country. The next generations are going to be smacked very hard with the reality that the baby boomers allowed the good times created by their parents to metastasize the tumor of political corruption and grift into a terminal diagnosis.
We would all be better off not falling into the leftists “collectivism”. It was the radicalized baby boomers who never grew up who pushed this crap. Not all the other hard working baby boomers.
Just sayin’
Thank you, Sharon.
Some try to divide us, male vs female. Others take a generational approach. And then there are those who go on and on about “nothing is being done about the machines!” (not true, see AZ court case, for example). Add to that those who proclaim all Americans are lazy, cowardly, ignorant, apathetic, etc. and the worst are the baby boomers.
It’s all crap.
Most of us boomers didn’t go to Woodstock. We were working and taking care of our young children. Today we’re among those who stand for the national anthem and honor the flag.
And many of us “dumb and patriotic” boomers (many of us were not draftees either) were in Vietnam during the “Woodstock” peace and love years.
Lets go Brandon!
The perfect cabal puppet playing his part of court jester to distract enemy MSM junkies from reality. See, B-B-B-Biden cares so much he’s going to bow and scrape in front of the evil Arab oil cabal (ARAMCO) “please save us from ourselves” .
Now the enemy MSM can now run with, “you see, no more oil for us, windmills and Unicorn farts” and team parasite will swoon with approval.
Liberals are dumb and dangerous.
Either the Dems are one wing of the Uniparty bird or they are, on the strength of their own single-handed (winged?) power, leading the US into Bolshevik hell. So I ask SD, which is it? Because I find he tends to drift back and forth. I mean, is the enemy the whole bird or merely its most offensive (to Patriots) wing, the Dems/Lefties?
One of the geniuses of the Uniparty is how it manages to steer conservative ire towards only one wing of the bird. So the flanks tend to take buckshot, never the head.
Obscuring the target further is the fact that the Dems happen to be more programmatically aligned with where the Uniparty wants to go: Bolshevism for US and a plutocratic vanguard for THEM.
So I can understand the rationale behind the perpetual conservative misfires. Maybe taking out the whole bird is simply too daunting a task. So we conservatives content ourselves instead with never fully exiting the red/blue meme. At least we get the satisfaction of firing some shots. But is it intellectually honest?
The bedevilling thing about engaging in political discourse in America is that practically everyone must lie to themselves in order to sound halfway
intelligible. Only playing some version of the blue/red game gets you a seat. A tepid hats-off to the evil genius of it all
I can’t speak for SD, but the way I see it is, the radical democrats are the ones pushing the agenda. The RINO’s are along for the ride. NOT working against the radicals puts them all in the same Uniparty box.
So, which do you think is worse? The pushers or the three monkeys who hear nothing, see nothing, and say nothing (and, DO nothing)? I
It seems to me the pushers are the greater enemy.
I admire the candor of the Dem at least, and feel the Rinos are in many ways more despicable, pernicious and, in their own way, more devastatingly effective.
Just as a bird requires two wings to be an effective flyer, the Uniparty’s interests are propelled by Pushers no less than Passengers.
So what is the FJB crew’s next move? Send Maxine and the shrill abortion mobs over to The crown prince’s place to protest? LOL.
Joe Biden has no clothes
That is a very bad visual.
There is also something bigger yet simpler going on here: BRICS. Based on the realization that “the West” does not “rule the world, period.” It’s not going to be a uni-polar world, partly because such a thing is much too dangerous. We all see that.
The world community is and must be exactly that: a grand human community composed of a diversity of relative equals who don’t love war. And, that’s not “kum bah yah.” That’s simple pragmatism.
What “the West” is preaching and demanding, it will no longer get. The rest don’t have to do it, and they won’t.
Sadly, it’s not the “West” any longer. It’s WEF.. multinationalism ruling our “common” life, soon to become nothing we will recognized. They are also moving at lightning speed with the CBDC .
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/central-bank-digital-currencies-are-coming-what-will-consequences-be
A few influencials are mentioning a class system assigned to the CBDC. So why isn’t anyone talking openly about this?
Our illustrious media always has our back, right? lol
Nah. It’s what the WEF wants but won’t get. Russia took care of that. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
Kum By Yah
I agree.
Pragmatism is not in the Leftist bible.
At the heart of their ideology is a complete disregard for the laws of nature and man.
Hence, everything they touch turns to crap. Marxism has failed everywhere this philosophy has been implemented.
The war you speak of has already started. But it’s a bio-war.
