Will Joe finally meet his own flesh and blood after he leaves the White House?
Don’t hold your breath. Given his family’s lack of values, probably not.
Because… as I’ve written before, Thanksgiving at the Biden residence is…
A RAFTER OF TURKEYS
On the eve of Joe Biden’s birthday (tomorrow), a re-post of my column in the Santa Barbara News-Press from Thanksgiving 2021.Thanks for reading ERINGER! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This Thanksgiving, the biggest turkey is the one occupying the White House.

What’s the difference between a Whoopee Cushion and Whoopi Goldberg?
One comes without a stink.
“Jill Biden Drops out of Presidential Race” (The Babylon Bee)
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Jill Biden has formally dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, she announced today at a press conference that was supposed to be for her husband.
"I cannot in good conscience continue," the acting president said as her husband wandered around somewhere backstage.
Good riddance to a first family and their White House handlers who conspired for many months to keep the American people in the dark about Joe Biden’s senility—and thereafter allowed their meal ticket to make a fool of himself.

“None of us understand what’s happening,” said one such staffer.
It’s very simple: Start boxing up your personal office items.
“Blagojevich: Obama Used ‘Chicago’ Way to Take Down Biden’” (Newsmax)
Was this an Obama coup?
Barrack has not endorsed the cackling Kamel, a Cali gal that belongs to a Willie, not a Barry.
According to former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, the Demo Party’s peaceful coup d'état is “classic Chicago Democrat machine politics”—a style, Rod says, that puts “selection over election, bosses over the people.”
So who might Boss Barry favor?
If Rod is to be believed, a Windy City fix is in. (Another flatulence joke?)
Under the guise of “democracy,” the backroom boys (Chicago’s DNC) may select (not elect)…
And speaking of Willie…
“Scandal Behind the Cackle as Kamala’s Former Lover Demands Biden Make her President NOW—All the Sordid Secrets America’s ‘Momala’ Hopes You’ve Forgotten” (Daily Mail)
Says Willie, “In all the jobs she’s had… she’s always been outstanding.”
Especially when she wasn’t standing!
In an embarassing 2019 op-ed for the San Francisco Chronicle, Willie proudly proclaimed: “Sure, I dated Kamala Harris. So what?”
Most damning, he also conceded in the article that he “certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco.”
“Kamala Harris is Officially Running. Will Any Democrats Challenge Her?” (NBC News)
Goofy Gav and wretchy Gretch say nay.
But—aha!—unlike Gav, Gretch, Buttigeig and PA Gov Josh Shapiro, JB has not endorsed Kackle. Instead, Pritzker announced, “I will work every day to ensure that [Trump] does not win in November.”
“RFK Jr. Floated a Job in a Trump White House as he Weighed Endorsing Trump” (The Washington Post)
Said RFK, Jr: “I have a lot of respect for President Trump for reaching out to me. Nobody from the DNC, high or low, has ever reached out to me in 18 months. Instead they have allocated millions to try to disrupt my campaign.”
So much for democracy in today’s Democratic Party.
“Trump & Zelensky Hold Phone Call—and Ukraine Says it Liked What it Heard” (Politico)
I’ve heard pro-Biden folks say Trump would have handed Ukraine to Putin on a silver platter
If that’s so, why didn’t Putrid Putin invade Ukraine while Trump was president?
Answer: Putin would not have dared. Only with the advent of a Biden presidency and Joe’s bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan did Putin choose to take advantage of what he perceived as weakness. (He also correctly pegged Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan as lightweights.)
Putin’s hero, Joseph Stalin, once said, “You are backward, you are weak… hence you can be beaten and enslaved.”
Yes, Biden’s support—with NATO—has been formidable, and Putin’s imperialistic ambitions remain at bay. But this has been at the cost of so very many lives while weapons manufacturers enrich themselves (and senior USG employees hope to do the same after retirement by joining the boards of such companies).
“Whistleblowers Claim Trump’s Security Detail was Mostly ‘Unfamiliar’ DHS Agents, Not Secret Service” (The Blaze)
A subscriber/ former senior official of CIA brought the above news item to my attention along with his own take on events:
“So let me get this straight. Mayorkas pulled trump’s regular Secret Service protection detail and replaced them with a mix of untrained DHS investigative agents, some 5’5” women who couldn’t even re-holster their weapons? Then they leave the most obvious shooter platform unsecure and ignore up to an hour of warnings that a threat exists from the eventual shooter? They let Trump go out there like a sitting duck even when they know there is a problem? Cmon man. And we are not supposed to ask Q’s? 🤨”
DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) is U.S. Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle’s main mission, which means the protection of her boss’s opponent was given a low priority.
Which presumably jibes with Institutional Washington’s wishful thinking: Lower the guard and give “lone-nuts” a crack.
In her testimony before Congress yesterday, Cheatle said the attempted assassination of Donald Trump was a failure that deserves an A.
Which sums up the very strange notion of many Dems on everything from sky-high inflation, an influx of over ten million illegal immigrants since January 2021, rampant crime and the seriously flawed withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Failure starts with an F and deserves an F, not an A.
Furthermore, Cheatle evaded or refused to answer all pertinent questions on the basis that “We need to know the full details” and “I do not have that information at this time.”
After nine days the Secret Service and the FBI should be in possession of enough details to explain the failure to Congress and the American people.
Saying “we need to know the full details” and “I do not have that information at this time” is nothing more than swamp-speak for the bureaucrat’s favorite hat trick: obfuscation.
As in, Keep stalling until the incident is overtaken by other news.
The murky swamp in which Institutional Washington resides needs to be drained and refilled with crystal clear water. Only then can true democracy exist.
Said Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) directly to Cheatle: “You are being completely dishonest, you are lying. You’re full of shit today.”
Amen.
Or maybe Cheatle was just doing her job: Trying to neutralize Donald Trump on behalf of Institutional Washington.
Her appalling non-performance yesterday serves only to bolster such a theory.
Thanks for your analysis and observations, Robert, of these very strange and seemingly not very Democratic times ,,,What a Cluster F---- this has turned out to be . The debates if there even are any should be epic !!
