Biden – or his animatronic – gives a pre-recorded speech on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 — 46 Comments

  1. Although various polls (not necessarily trustworthy) continue to suggest that the popularity of the senile buffoon, illegitimately installed at 1600, is steadily declining, one might well argue that voter’s remorse from Democrats is being somewhat exaggerated. Although Biden’s “America Last” agenda is painfully obvious (whether as the result of stupidity and incompetence or, as is more likely the case, as part of a deliberate strategy of fundamentally transforming this country, demographically, culturally, and politically), those who supported Biden in last November’s hardly “free and fair” election were so utterly convinced of Trump’s maleficence as to accept any alternative without subsequent reflection and despite massive amounts of evidence of the failings of this administration.

  2. Neo: When you talk with your Democrat friends you might ask them how Biden got to be the nominee in the first place. Why did Warren, Klobuchar, and Bittixyz drop out exactly when they did? My suspicion about Kamala is that it was pre-determined that she would be on the ticket, so it was pointless for her to run in the primaries.

  3. I wonder how many takes and how many hours of editing it took to produce a more or less coherent speech?

  4. Neo’s blogroll includes No pasaran!– a blog that describes itself as “Behind the Façades in France.” Yesterday’s post is titled “Who Is the Incompetent POTUS Now?”

    The first commenter below the main post made a point about what we can expect from “Doctor” Jill’s husband: “I would suggest that the Afghanistan debacle is a more dangerous moment for us than for Joe Biden. After being publicly humiliated in such a manner, Joe is going to be eager to reassert his fractured masculinity and the easiest way to do this, as anyone who feels regularly humiliated can tell you, is to get drunk and go home and beat the hell out of your wife. Joe can’t lash out at the Taliban, or anybody else for that matter, but he certainly can lash out at the American people. And he will. Joe is a petty, weak man who will bully anybody he can get away with bullying.”

    The vaccination mandate is only the beginning of Biden’s bullying rampage.

  5. Speaking of the 9-11 disaster;

    I find it hard to believe that the terrorists carried out this attack without the financial assistance and other forms of support from some sovereign nations; perhaps one or more nations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Iran, Cuba, etc.
    Of course, we will never learn about any of this.
    The geniuses who run our govt. have determined that the sheeple do not need to know this.

  6. neo. I’m not sure what your more temperate liberal friends are thinking. But for a good many, if the choice is admitting they were wrong about Trump…that’s not a choice. Doubling down would be the defense.
    As I see it, the first step is to say, with the defiant chin, “I voted against TRUMP.”
    After an instant, the thought occurs…. “And here we are.”
    Now what? What is the next thought?

  7. Biden condemned “violence” against Muslims in the wake of 9/11/01. There was very little such violence, in truth. And G.W. Bush, today, gave a statement which can be construed as comparing the 9/11 hijackers to the 1/6/21 Capitol event.

    I knew very little about Islam on 9/11/01. I know a lot more now, both from reading and from having lived among Muslims for a few years. Especially in the context of the horrifying events of twenty years ago, and all the jihadi attacks since then, statements like Biden’s and Bush’s make my blood boil. Islam is capable of a very violent interpretation to which approximately one-quarter of its members adhere. Refusing to face that plain fact leads to some of the asinine policy mistakes of the current administration. Who but the blithering idiots in the Biden State Department could possibly “expect” the Taliban to have an “inclusive” Cabinet?

  8. I was just speaking with my neighbor and I don’t recall how this topic even came up, but she said that she wants to vote Republican next presidential election but absolutely will not vote for DeSantis if he is the nominee because DeSantis believes that “schools should be prohibited from allowing kids to wear masks in school.” Well, let’s just say that is is not possible to push back on such statement, even though it is not correct, because, well this person is certain about such things. Of course, no vote for Orange Man either. Somehow having the dolt in office is better. We are doomed.

  9. Kate,

    “Islam is capable of a very violent interpretation to which approximately one-quarter of its members adhere.”

    It’s not an “interpretation”, the violence is specifically and repeatedly stated to be an obligation for every Muslim by both Allah in their ‘sacred’ Qur’an and by Muhammad.

    Though the majority are ‘cafeteria Muslims” there are no mass protests against the violence by ‘moderate’ Muslims. Nor are there even anoymous condemnations on the internet by Muslims when terrorist attacks occur. Instead, a universal cry of “Islamophobia!” in response to any criticism linking Islam to the violence. No acknowledgement that Muhammad was a lying, mass murdering pedophile and that, by their ancestor’s own writings. Instead, Muhammad is proclaimed throughout the Ummah as “the perfect man”.

    And now Biden repeats Bush’s lie that Islam is a religion of peace.

  10. It’s not up to me, Geoffrey Britain, to tell Muslims which version of their religion they must follow. I know many who do not endorse the violence. What they have to learn to accept is critics pointing out that the violent passage are there. And we non-Muslim Americans need to stop pretending we don’t see that.

  11. Kate. There are various ways of endorsing or not endorsing violence. You can not mind it without endorsing it. You can not endorse it but continue to attend a mosque whose clergy excuse it.
    If a couple of young Muslim guys harass and assault a non-Muslim women in a public space and are tried by jury, you can vote to acquit because you’re not supposed to put a brother in the hands of the infidel or some such.
    What we need to see is active condemnation. Why are Wahhabi mosques not empty?

  12. As much as I disliked Clinton and Obama, I at least could understand their appeal. They both had some talent. It’s hard to find a single admirable quality about Biden. Well at least no one can accuse the Biden administration of being a personality cult.

  13. @ Gregory Harper: “As much as I disliked Clinton and Obama, I at least could understand their appeal. They both had some talent. It’s hard to find a single admirable quality about Biden.”

    It doesn’t matter. Rest assured that a “cabal” of Obama-era hacks and retreads is assiduously “fortifying” the US presidency.

  14. “I have no idea whether they are getting at all regretful about their votes for Biden, or whether they are still very pleased he won. My guess is the latter.”

    It’s the latter. They’ll fondly remember the warm glow of being very pleased, and internally they’ll work on their definition of “won”, so they can keep the glow. They won’t ever admit to changing the definition, and if pressed into a corner with proof, will blame it on their “subconscious”.

    “A hell of a lot of people, Dutch, just can’t stand to be wrong.”

  15. Kate – I agree with you regarding Islam. All my liberal “friends” started lecturing all who would listen about our Islamic xenophobia on 9/12/2001. It shocked me. It still does. I began to grasp the liberal hatred of our country. There is no satisfaction in realizing this. I wish I was an idiot and could not know it.

  16. @Geoffrey Britain at 4:55 pm

    “Though the majority are ‘cafeteria Muslims” there are no mass protests against the violence by ‘moderate’ Muslims.”

    GB, I have lived and served in two majority Muslim nations (one principally Sufi and one principally Sunni) and the cafeteria Muslims are afraid. They have to live among the fundamentalists who despise apostates, as the other Muslims are seen, more than they despise infidels such as you and me. In both countries where I served (one where Boko Haram figuratively had a sword with my name on it, itching to remove my head, where I was assigned an armed local guard just to go to the grocery store) the suicide bombings were all directed at the non-fundamentalist Muslims populations to keep them in line. We had to try to identify which arm or head went with which torso, adult or child. These bombings are very effective persuasion tools on the locals. They are afraid to speak out, and often for very good reason.

    For the record I’m not disagreeing with you. People need to speak out more. I once heard a certain non-fundamentalist muslim African president tell a certain leftist US Ambassador to the UN, after she chastised him on behalf of the Obama mal-administration for killing about 1000 Boko Haram, “Madam, when they kill my old people, burn my villages, and steal and rape my young girls, we hunt them down and kill them. We kill rabid dogs, we do not negotiate with them.” IMO, the US and the rest of the 1st world should stand back and give our quiet and tacit approval to this approach. Let these other leaders know that they can do whatever they need to do with the understanding that we will look the other way and not hold it against them politically, diplomatically, or economically.

    It’s not the only approach, but should be one of several.

  17. I couldn’t, just couldn’t, watch that whole thing. I watched about 30 seconds and wanted to puke.

    How can those around him not see what the rest of us see?

    He is among the walking dead. He isn’t even a well-meaning, but still a buffoon, like Carter. Biden seems to not even be aware of what he is saying. As someone above asked how many hours does it take to make this? How many hours of practicing and practicing until he seems to come even close to being human or being coherent?

    And, yes, how can those who voted for him now feel? Are they in denial of what they see? Or are they so glad that he isn’t Trump that it doesn’t matter?

  18. He couldn’t pronounce “unity” clearly. Maybe it’s because he either doesn’t believe in it or he knows it’s a con job. He’ll get enough gullible people to believe his every word though. Unity Joe? Accusing a number of your fellow Americans of being guilty of “white supremacy,” and stating that “domestic terrorists” are a greater threat to the nation than Islamic extremists. Yup, that’s a call for unity

  19. Kate,

    “It’s not up to me, Geoffrey Britain, to tell Muslims which version of their religion they must follow. I know many who do not endorse the violence.”

    There is only ONE ‘version’ of Islam and it is unequivocable in its support for murderous violence. There are NO ‘versions’ of the Qur’an. Allah gives over a 100 commands to do violence to the infidel in the Qur’an and every Mosque, regardless of the sect, has the exact same Qur’an in it. Only written in arabic.

    For a Muslim to say they don’t support the violence, while still remaining Muslim and, through their silence (even when anonymous on the internet) they make a mockery of their ‘moderation’. Their silence condones the violence.

    Would you accept someone saying they’re not racist, while insisting upon staying in the KKK?

    Telemachus,

    “the cafeteria Muslims are afraid. They have to live among the fundamentalists who despise apostates, as the other Muslims are seen, more than they despise infidels such as you and me…”

    I’m sure that’s so. Fear alone however is not the whole story. They know that the fundamentalists hold the theological high ground. They know that the Qur’an fully backs up the fundamentalists. They know that everything Muhammad said after being rejected by the Meccans backs up the fundamentalists. ‘Cafeteria’ Muslims haven’t “a leg to stand upon”, they have no theological basis for opposing the fundamentalists.

    A Pew poll revealed that 84% of Egyptians support the death penalty for apostasy. That, after decades under Mubarack’s semi- secular rule.

  20. [Muslims] know that the fundamentalists hold the theological high ground. They know that the Qur’an fully backs up the fundamentalists. They know that everything Muhammad said after being rejected by the Meccans backs up the fundamentalists. ‘Cafeteria’ Muslims haven’t “a leg to stand upon”, they have no theological basis for opposing the fundamentalists.

    Geoffrey Britain:

    You’re having a good night!

    Yes. Islam is not Christianity, nor any other religion, with a turban.

  21. GB, you are undoubtedly already familiar with the work by some Western oriented scholars, starting in the 1970’s on into the 90’s and beyond, performing critical historical analysis of the Muslim version of the history of Islam. Besides pursuing a psyops campaign against the concept of “a religion of peace”, I do wonder how this latest scholarship could be used in a “war of ideas” to further erode the certitude of “moderate” Muslims and possibly give them an historical and moral backbone to resist and [dream on] reform the original violent version.

    I am thinking of sources such as:
    1. Robert Spencer, Did Muhammad Exist? [2012], which also summarizes #2 and #3 below
    2. Ohlig and Puin, eds., The Hidden Origins of Islam [2010]
    3. Nevo and Koren, Crossroads to Islam [2003], covering their work in early 90’s.
    4. work by Patricia Crone and from Ibn Warriq = various
    5. Nicolas Wade, The Faith Instinct [2011?] also summarizes with very forthright assertions about a Hellenized and Christian Levant during the 600’s AD that only later [750-850AD] gets forced to accept a caliphate inspired version of Islam, the Quran, Haditha, etc. Most or all of any earlier “apostate” material was ordered to be destroyed so that only the pure version / edition remains extant.

    All of this is basically made up from bits and pieces that can be compelling enough if you want to believe it, from a Western viewpoint, but is perhaps not yet enough “evidence” to solidly unseat the established historical portrayal for deeply indoctrinated believers. As we see with our “woke” fellow citizens, maybe nothing will ever convince the Muslims of the flaws in their ideology either. As you point out, very difficult to compete with commands attributed directly to Allah.

  22. @Neo:

    Because Ernest Renan and Friends and going all Philological on the OT and NT helped make the West into a happier friendlier cuddlier place, right? Sure… eventually and for an exhausted while… over the bones of how many tens of millions? And now starting to looks like we’re in the run up to a re-run.

    Be careful what you wish for with the Muzzies.

    Instead of meddling with their heads and attempting to undermine their world view, how about Separation? Rigorously enforced.

  23. @ Neo > “I have no idea whether they are getting at all regretful about their votes for Biden, or whether they are still very pleased he won. My guess is the latter.”

    My guess is that they don’t know anyone in the military or working in Afghanistan, and they have no personal connection to anything that has happened, have bought Biden’s excuses about “that was the best we could do,” aren’t aware of most of the stories showing the horrifying extent of the disaster, and can’t evaluate it as a meaningful example of Biden’s unfitness for any office, starting with squirrel catcher, because I wouldn’t hire him to catch dogs.

    And Orange Man Bad, of course.

  24. @ Jeanne > “Where was Giuliani today? Have they already imprisoned him?”

    I was wondering that myself; haven’t found anything for today, but this is where he was yesterday.
    https://www.newsmax.com/us/rudy-giuliani-newsmax-9-11-20th-anniversary/2021/09/10/id/1035887/

    Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who became widely recognized as “America’s Mayor” after the 9/11 attacks brought down the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers, told Newsmax Friday, on the eve of the 20th-anniversary commemoration, that when he gets “too down” he remembers how Americans became unified in their shock and grief.

    “When I when I get too down about September 11, and think of the people I saw jumping and people I saw getting killed with debris and then having to identify a lot of the remains, that can really get you down and thinking about the families, I think about the response,” Giuliani told Newsmax’s “National Report.” “And it was breathtaking.”

    The former mayor compared it to the “beginning of the Second World War,” because “everybody was an American.”

    “Everybody was wearing flags,” he said. “It was none of this, you know, kneeling for the national anthem, of burning flags. President [George W.] Bush and Gov. George Pataki drove up the Westside Drive three days later, and there must have been thousands of people lining it with American flags”

    Giuliani will be featured in Newsmax’s documentary, “9/11: The Day That Shook the World,” which premieres at 9 p.m. Friday.

    Some of he reminiscences follow.

  25. Zaphod is no wrong.

    Islam has long practiced religious separatism to keep the Infidel from poisoning or defiling the purity of the Ummah.

    This Chapter and Verse must be emulated and embraced in the West to protect our way of life from our more protean denied and for parallel reasons.

    But who will be the vanguard?

  26. “he” should be “his” – missed that during the edit window.

    Found this interesting post from last month, before the Afghanistan debacle sucked all the pixels out of the internet.

    https://nypost.com/2021/08/14/9-11-museums-decision-to-scrap-a-20th-anniversary-memorial-is-a-disgrace/

    As the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack looms, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum is crying poverty for the second year in a row. This time, it says it can’t afford to mount special exhibitions planned to mark the two-decade milestone.

    In 2020, the twin-beam “Tribute in Light” was canceled only to win a last-minute reprieve after soon-to-be-ex Gov. Cuomo pitched in state resources. But no such bailout appears in the offing this time.

    In fact, this year, the museum is shamefully restricting the reading-of-the-names ceremony exclusively to the families of 9/11 victims. No hero firefighters, cops, first responders or emergency workers, who were normally welcome until the pandemic eliminated last year’s event, are invited.

    It’s simply outrageous that the great museum — a “humanely crafted engine of catharsis,” as I wrote at its 2014 opening — plans to sit out the 20th anniversary with a diminished acknowledgement of America’s worst terrorist attack and more pleas to pay a visit with tickets starting at $28 each.

    No one can blame COVID this time. The ceremony takes place in the open air, where even the Delta virus can’t spread easily. All participants will wear masks. Many or even most will be vaccinated.

    Remember all the talk that if we didn’t rebuild after 9/11, the “terrorists would have won?” The museum has raised the white flag to the virus and there’s no turning back.

    What a wrongheaded, defeatist message for these times. New York City lost 33,000 citizens to COVID-19. The pandemic-stricken Big Apple needs every affirmation it can get of its inherent valor and resilience, qualities that saved us on 9/11 and in the fraught years that followed.

    To be fair, the museum alone is not to blame for this failure. The 20th anniversary date has been no secret — for twenty years. And yet Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio planned nothing to make the 2021 commemoration special. The attack’s toll has been lost in their hearts and minds to the politics and phony “science” of the current crisis.

    Despite the museum’s very real budget crunch, the catastrophe’s 20th anniversary should not be allowed to become a shadow of its past commemorations.

    Our finest minds in politics, philanthropy and the arts have less than a month to come up with something fresh. They need to get down to work — now.

    I don’t know if anyone got down to work or not, but there wasn’t much to commemorate after Biden gave Afghanistan back to the Taliban, so maybe just as well nothing much was planned.

    Or, that was why nothing much was planned – –

  27. Only 7% of Germans were members of the Nazi party. The Peaceful Germans allowed the radical Germans take over and control Germany. Like wise, very few Muslims are radical. They are people who came to this country wanting to get away from the radical Islam element. They still follow the teachings of the Koran, which include honor killings, lying about the final goals of Islam to put the people to sleep about their true intentions, denigration of women and gays including stoning them. Finally 5 people following the Islamic religion have earned Nobel prices. Three for the peace prize. While zero prizes have been award in Medicine, Science or Economics. Their contributions to the human race after Mohammed have been negligible.

  28. Like wise, very few Muslims are radical. They are people who came to this country wanting to get away from the radical Islam element.

    Al Catraz:

    I’d say few Muslims are *actively* radical. I suspect most Muslims came to this country for economic opportunities, not to escape radical Islam.

    Never forget that Bin Laden and his jihadist associates declared killing Americans to be a religious obligation for all Muslims:
    __________________________________

    The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies–civilians and military–is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it…

    Bin Laden was not a fringe psycho “hijacking Islam.” He enjoyed widespread support in Muslim countries:

    Those numbers dropped the longer the War on Terror continued. But that wasn’t the result of spiritual clarity evolving among Muslims. We were the strong horse beating the weak horse (radical Islam).

    Now that we are behaving like the weak horse again, radical Islam will be re-energized and we will get more jihad.

  29. R2L,

    “I do wonder how this latest scholarship could be used in a “war of ideas” to further erode the certitude of “moderate” Muslims and possibly give them an historical and moral backbone to resist and [dream on] reform the original violent version.”

    Not possible. No “war of ideas” nor reform of Islam, either internally or externally is possible. That’s because to implement reform, absolutely and inescapably requires declaring Muhammad to have either been a liar or deluded. In either case, Islam’s theological foundations would collapse.

    This is so because of Muhammad’s most basic claim, one he repeatedly and consistently declared; that Allah not Muhammad is the author of the Qur’an. That he, an admitted illiterate… was miraculously enabled to take dictation transmitted to him from Allah through the Archangel Gabriel during repeated visits.

    Gabriel making sure that Muhammad got every word, every comma exactly right. Angels are incapable of accidental errors and Allah would have known if Gabriel went astray.

    So, since fallible mankind is literally incapable of ‘correcting’ infallible Allah, not even one comma can be changed in the perfect Qur’an.

    That’s also why Muslims insist, upon pain of death, that Imams amd Mullahs only study the Qur’an in the original Arabic.

    This is also why the ‘moderates’ can never permanently prevail over the fundamentalists and why a higher percentage of Muslim immigrant’s children in the West become more fundamentalist than their parents.

  30. Ah yes, the Great Search for Moderate Muslims… I remember it well back in the 2000s.

    Essentially none were found. The few candidates which emerged had bodyguards to prevent them from being murdered by their more traditional co-religionists.

    What Geoffrey Britain says about the Qur’an is true. In fact it is worse. According to Islamic doctrine the Qur’an exists before time in its perfect form like Platonic solids. It can’t be revised even more than the triangle can.

    Sure, there are plenty of Muslims who grew up in the religion and just want to do their work and raise their families. God bless ’em.

    But if America were put under Sharia Law and the wholesale beheadings of American Christians, Jews, and freethinkers began, American Muslims wouldn’t lift a finger anymore than they do in their home countries.

  31. geoffb,

    There are many fine examinations of Islam and of its history. The bottom line however is what I stress because therein lies the source of the inescapable and irresolvable conflict between Islam and “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. Islam’s most basic tenets and America’s foundational precepts are entirely antithetical to each other. They cannot be combined.

    “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24

  32. During the War on Terror I recommended all Americans read the Qur’an. After the success of the War on Terror on tamping down radical Islam, it seemed less necessary.

    However, I still recommend Americans read the Qur’an. It’s a must to understand how vicious, violent, intolerant and totalitarian Islam is at root. It’s the only foundational book of a major religion with a chapter on military booty. It ain’t the Old or New Testament, the Tao Te Ching or the Bhagavad-Gita.

    http://www.wright-house.com/religions/islam/Quran/8-spoils-of-war.php

    The Qur’an is not long nor hard to read (except a few sections which are close to gibberish), but it is quite dispiriting for the non-stop hate-filled rants, supposedly the Infallible Words of the Most High.

    There are a few dodgy sections in the Old Testament, but they are by far the exception, while in the Qur’an they are the rule.

    My challenge for Americans is to pick up a translation of the Qur’an, open it at random, then see how far you read before encountering a rant about how horrible the infidels are and what juicy, cruel punishments Allah intends for them.

    I was live-and-let-live for all religions … until I read the Qur’an. After 9-11 I encountered the “Why Do They Hate Us” bilge and that was where my Political Change began. I understood immediately 9-11 was Muslims being Muslims.

  33. Geoffrey Britain,

    The book I named is a quite readable history of just how the Islam that is came into being during the period after the death, if he ever lived, of Muhammad. That was when the beliefs you speak of became set in stone as the aftermath of a 3 sided internal war over just what Islam was, and was to be. The most radical, fundamentalist group won out and set the course Islam has been on ever since.

    It was also during this time that what is called the Koran was organized in it’s present form, and done so for the political-secular-religious power it then gave to the ruler, and all other texts destroyed so there would only be one from then on.

  34. 1. I believe there are other versions of the Koran still out there (or at least written about or referred to).
    2. I would recommend “The Closed Circle: An Interpretation of the Arabs” by David Pryce-Jones and “Among the Believers: An Islamic Journey” by V.S. Naipaul.

  35. I believe there are other versions of the Koran still out there (or at least written about or referred to).

    Barry Meislin:

    I recall a scholar looking into those in the 2000s. As I recall, he was murdered for his efforts.

    If I have the time, I’ll look it up.

  36. Hmm…not murdered but good old defenestrated. However, according to Bahear’s wife (wiki says) this didn’t happen.

    The history of 9-11 includes the Saudi Arabian state, whose nationals were among the terrorist flying the planes.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijackers_in_the_September_11_attacks

    The hijackers in the September 11 attacks were 19 men affiliated with the militant Islamist group al-Qaeda. They hailed from four countries; fifteen of them were citizens of Saudi Arabia, two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Lebanon, and one from Egypt.[1] To carry out the attacks, the hijackers were organized into four teams, each led by a pilot-trained hijacker who would commandeer the flight with three or four “muscle hijackers” who were trained to help subdue the pilots, passengers, and crew. Each team was assigned to a different flight and given a unique target to crash their respective planes into.

    Some details about their fraudulent applications for visas, fake passports, and numerous trips in and out of the US before the attack.

    https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2021/08/how-911-terrorists-got-here-terence-p-jeffrey/

    More than two dozen al-Qaida terrorists whom the commission associated with the 9/11 conspiracy tried to enter the United States. Most of them succeeded.

    “Twenty-six al Qaeda terrorist conspirators — eighteen Saudis, two Emiratis, one Egyptian, one Lebanese, one Moroccan, one Pakistani, and two Yemenis — sought to enter the United States and carry out a suicide mission,” said the commission’s staff report. “The first of them began to acquire the means to enter two years and five months before the 9/11 attack.”

    “The 19 hijackers applied for 23 visas and obtained 22,” said the report. “Five other conspirators were denied U.S. visas. Two more obtained visas but did not participate in the attack for various reasons.”

    One thing that interests me about the new document releases is: Why did “Biden” authorize them now? Sabotaging the Abraham Accords? Dissing Iran’s strongest opponent? That sits oddly with his begging for more Saudi oil to make up for the American fuels he shut down.

    Joe Biden ordered the declassification and release of a 16-page document relating to the government of Saudi Arabia’s potential involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

    The document — heavily redacted, according to Fox News — sheds little light on the Saudis’ role, if any, in the attack.

    Why order the release of redacted documents?

    In addition to leading immediately (4 months) to hoarding and inflation, mostly because of the sudden imposition of the ban of chemical fertilizers on the totally unprepared agricultural sector, the virtue-signaling president ignores the actual science.

    According to experts, three scientifically rigorous meta-analyses of organic-conventional crop yield comparisons indicate that across all crops, the mean yield reduction in organic agriculture in Sri Lanka is around 19-25 per cent. This shows that an overnight shift to organic cultivation presents a clear and imminent threat to the country’s food security.

    Eminent researchers have also noted that organic farming increases farmland due to its low yields. This results in deforestation, leading to large scale extinction of species and a rise in greenhouse emissions.

    According to the Annual Review of Resource Economics, organic agriculture generates more air pollutants and environmental emissions in the crop production process for a unit of food than chemical farming.

    Moreover, organic farming has exponentially higher monetary input costs due to a lack of usage of pest and pathogen-resistant chemicals, which increases manual labour, according to experts. The additional processing and marketing costs of organic produce is also significantly higher, analysts said.

    The bolded part is one of the major factors in the collapse of civilizations, according to Jared Diamond, who is somewhat of an environmentalist himself.
    But they don’t ever actually look at the science, just what they feel ought to be the situation.

  39. With regard to those who still prefer Biden to Trump; voter’s choices are tied to self-esteem. To change ones mind or admit error would involve a massive blow to the ego.
    At least that is one explanation as to how anyone cannot detest Biden at this point.
