My latest in PJ Media:
Joe Biden is always good for laughs, but there isn’t really any joke: he’s serious. On Sunday, he reminded us just how far around the bend he is when he called a female questioner in New Hampshire a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier.” Even Fox News, along with the rest of the establishment media, immediately rushed to his aid by claiming he was “joking,” but imagine what the uproar would have been if Trump had called anyone that. In any case, it’s important to remember that Crazy Joe is not alone: the Democratic candidates are all crazy.
The “dog-faced pony soldier” remark was not Old Joe’s first trip to the Crazy Rodeo. Last August, he was asked by a college student in Iowa how many genders there were. “There are at least three,” he answered, and when she asked him to explain, he shot back: “Don’t play games with me, kid.”
Three genders. Well, at least Joe is saner than those who insist there are seventy-three genders, or whatever the number is this week.
Affable but testy and thin-skinned, Joe has been just as testy on numerous other occasions, hardly a winning strategy for someone who is trying to ingratiate himself with voters. When another Iowa voter challenged him about his son Hunter’s highly questionable dealings in Ukraine, he grew increasingly agitated and finally responded heatedly to the portly questioner: “Look, Fat, look, here’s the deal…”
Dotty old Joe has also been given to nostalgic ramblings, as when he said: “And by the way, you know, I sit on the stand, and it’d get hot. I gotta lotta, I got hairy legs, that turn, that, that, that, that, that, that turn, uh, uh, um, blond in the sun. And the kids used to come up and reach into the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair, mmm, come, come back up again. So I learned about roaches. I learned about kids jumping on my lap. And I’ve loved kids jumping on my lap.”
Time to back away slowly, while smiling reassuringly at old Joe, hoping he doesn’t make any sudden moves. But where to turn?
There is much more. Read the rest here.

On a related topic…
There was an excellent opinion piece in today’s Wall Street Journal titled:
“The Democrats Gave In to Radicals and Gave Up on Common Sense”
By Joseph Epstein
It certainly makes sense to me, curious to know what your take is on the article. I highly value your opinion….
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-democrats-gave-in-to-radicals-and-gave-up-on-common-sense-11581444825
Wellington says
James: I would very much like to comment on the WSJ article you provided a link to, but after reading the first paragraph the WSJ, rather in full blackmail mode (as I have experienced many times before), disallows a person from reading the rest of the article unless they subscribe to the WSJ.
And I will not do this. I pay enough for Internet service to begin with. And sad to say, this avarice seems more common among traditional, conservative papers, another example being the Boston Herald, than is the case with leftist papers.
I would add here that the editors of the WSJ have made excuse after excuse for tons of immigration to this country on the basis that the economy needs it, even overlooking illegal immigration many times over.
Frankly, while I used to admire the WSJ, I do no longer. Collectively speaking they’re RINOs and greedy, even though of course they still stumble into the truth more often than does the Left—which ain’t hard to do.
Sorry for the rant, but the WSJ is more often part of the problem in our times rather than any sane solution. Still way better than the NYT but this functions as faint praise.
James Lincoln says
Understand, Wellington.
I appreciate your candor.
Best wishes.

Or given how Lefty they are….a Communist party meeting {like the Chinese Gang of Four of the 1970s}with Comrade Sanders on the Right.
One might expect the “internationale” to be playing in the background or maybe “Keep the Red….{-Green-Democrat}…flag flying”

Biden’s ‘Lying, Dog-Faced Pony Soldier’ Remark Reminds Us: The Dem Candidates Are ALL Crazy
……………….
The worst thing is that Biden is among the sanest of the Dems.
IslamKills says
How is this everyday Muslims fault? Your system was created in the 1770’s. You’ve had time to figure it out.
Stop blaming other people for your shortcomings. Step up and do the right thing. Maybe show some respect to President Trump??

Here’s another regular apologist for Jihad, despite his mendacious username.
IslamKills says
Everyday Muslims are the ones suffering the most from Jihad. Simply look at the comments section of any article.
The hatred of fellow man is clear. So, who’s the terrorist?
Wellington says
“So, who’s the terrorist?”
Uh, Muslims by a mile. Over 36,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide just since 9/11. The fact that many of these attacks are Muslims against other Muslims DOES NOT MEAN that Islam is peaceful or tolerant, which certainly it is not, or that therefore this makes Islam OK. Which takes me to my four givens in life as I have mentioned before here at JW: 1) death; 2) taxes; 3) Muslims killing non-Muslims; and 4) Muslims killing other Muslims. 4) is preferable to 3) and both 3) and 4) overlap with 1).
Islam is so screwed up. It is a bane to mankind and any faults any other major religion has pales into almost complete insignificance compared to (easily) the worst religion in the history of mankind. Islam is indeed the turd in the punch bowl of world religions, as I have noted before here at JW. Not all Muslims are evil, but all Muslims are confused human beings and the world would be infinitely better off without Islam around at all.

The constant implication that if Muslims slaughter more of their coreligionists that that they are somehow not a threat to Infidels of course makes no sense.

Jihadist terrorists are terrorists. The suggestion that we are somehow terrorists for opposing this savagery makes no sense, either.
somehistory says
I remember once, seems like a million years ago, and a totally different human involved…biden was on a train, being interviewed by a reporter (might have been from ABC as my favorite anchor was Peter Jennings), and he (biden) was speaking about the terror threat and how safeguards were needed for trains too, not just airplanes.
He sounded sane then. And not creepy.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, it seems like a million years ago for us …. and a million brain cells ago for old Joe. He and Bernie both need to find a commune somewhere in Venezuela or Cuba where they can enjoy the the fruits of the labor of the others living there (and maybe take Hillary and Ruth Bader Ginsburg with them).

I’m looking forward to a complete ass kicking being given to the Democrats in November … sort of like what happened to the Labour Party in the UK this past December. Oh, the weeping and gnashing of teeth will be even greater than in 2016. We haven’t seen the half of crazy yet.
Lydia Church says
It’s like the globalists selected the most motley, raggedy, ridiculous crew for their democratic lineup ever! Like, what a joke! I have this gut feeling they have a plan with this, like to make their hand picked puppet look really, really good in contrast, who will slide in and ‘save the party’ or something like that… like the worst one ever, like Oprah or something. Or the ‘reason’ that Trump will be re elected, so they can have their civil war, because the democrats are falling apart and making a mockery of themselves…
tgusa says
They will never vote for Oprah Lydia. They are the Jerry Springer party, on steroids.

They call Pres. Trump a ‘Loon’! This shower’s deliberate & cynical intention is to drag the entire Free World over the abyss & plunge it into a Dark Age that will take decades , if not a century or two, to recover from. In early/mid February, 2020, on a UKTV Station, there was this film, made only a few years ago called: “The Free State of Jones”. It was a bout a guerrilla band of poor whites & runaway slaves that formed in Jones County, Mississippi to resist the Confederacy. It covered some of the post bellum period as well & was interspersed with a court scenes from the 1950’s-60’s, I think,. where a descendant of the white coloured Leader, Knight, was contesting an issue. His ancestry proved that Knight had married an African American & he had “Negro Blood” in his lineage. He was defending his right to marry a white women. Eventually the US Supreme Court, overturned the court’s verdict & the man was freed from prison. A damning indictment of the Democratic Party as they gerrymandered half a continent for over 100years. In this day & age it is hard to believe that they want to return to those dark days with them toadying up to the Supremacist doctrine that is Islam.
During the Olympic Year of 1936, the Leader that snubbed multi- Champion, Jesse Owens was……. I am ashamed to write this was…… his OWN President, FD Roosevelt. If only Pres. Trump had applied himself to some proper study. Even when he decided to run for the Presidency during Obama’s terms.

I’ve got a film quote for Joe: ‘Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn’

And, Biden loses to a communist – a failed small town mayor & gay man – and a fake native American… Wow! …The village People..
Patriotliz says
I have not seen any posting of the movie clip from which Joe reportedly got the quip of “Lying Dog Faced Pony Soldier.”
Also, no one even brought up the fact that Joe was besmirching our military. There really are proud “Dog Face Soldiers.” It would have been marvelous if Trump would have introduced some of them at one of his rallies.

Thank you, Patriotliz.

It seems that Biden thought this was a quote from a John Wayne film–why he thought it was appropriate to use against a college girl is anyone’s guess.
And it seems he didn’t even have that right.
Slate tried to track this quote down, and the closest thing they could find was the Tyrone Power movie “Pony Soldier”, where one of the characters says, “the pony soldier speaks with a tongue of the snake that rattles.”
