My latest in PJ Media:
When Sundown Joe takes office on Wednesday, the old gang will be back in the saddle again: the foreign policy establishment hacks who have done nothing but fail, fail, and fail again, and in response keep getting rewarded not with dismissal and a forced return to private life, but with honors, awards, and promotions. AFP reported Saturday that Biden has appointed Wendy Sherman, whose chief claim to fame is negotiating the notorious Iran nuclear deal, to be deputy secretary of state. It’s a classic example of failing up.
Biden said of Sherman and anti-Russia career diplomat Victoria Nuland, whom he named undersecretary for political affairs, that they “have secured some of the most defining national security and diplomatic achievements in recent memory. I am confident that they will use their diplomatic experience and skill to restore America’s global and moral leadership. America is back.”
Well, that may be overstating the case, but there is no doubt that the disastrous State Department “experts” are back. Sherman is getting her promotion nearly two years after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled 55,000 pages of documents and 183 cds demonstrating that “Iran did not come clean about its nuclear program,” and that it pursued a program “to design, produce and test five warheads with 10 kiloton of TNT yield for integration on missiles.”
When Iran’s leaders denied that they intended to construct nuclear weapons, Netanyahu said, they were “blatantly lying.” He charged that “Iran lied about never having a secret nuclear program. Secondly, even after the deal, it continued to expand its nuclear program for future use. Thirdly, Iran lied by not coming clean to the IAEA.”
Wendy Sherman’s Iran nuclear deal was, according to Netanyahu, “based on lies based on Iranian deception.” The Islamic Republic’s Fordow nuclear plant was, he said, “designed from the get-go for nuclear weapons for project Amad…We can now prove that project Amad was a comprehensive program to design, build and test nuclear weapons. We can also prove that Iran is secretly storing project Amad material to use at a time of its choice to develop nuclear weapons.”
The head of project Amad was a nuclear scientist named Mohsen Fakhrizdeh.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Wendy Sherman looks like the kind of skinny arrogant pseudointellectual richebiche who ran the race-shaming seminars in the basement of our town library before the WuFluManchu closed it last March, and who truly believes that when the mullahs start throwing nukes none of them would evah even daah be headed her way, dahlings.
She’s the kind in whose honor I conceived of the educational experience of being lowered in nothing but her undies into the main square of Tehran just as the mosques let out to test her hypotheses about the peaceful and feminist nature of Islam.
I thoroughly expect her to become more worthy of such an honor as her career with the Senile Old Geezer’s regime proceeds. I can only hope the Israelis get to Iran before she does because they can do even more damage and in their case, in the right places.

Here’s where my ultimate ire resides: ALL those who actually voted for the nothing which is Biden all the while thinking he was a better alternative to Trump.
Forget the phony votes for Biden (in the millions), I am addressing those who actually did vote for Biden. And here is what I think of you: To a greater or lesser degree you all are foolish—not one damn exception.
Infidel says
The bizarre thing about him is that instead of starting on things that people are in broad agreement on – be it the $1400 or $2000 stimulus checks or vaccine distribution operations or something like that, he’s pouncing on all the hotbutton issues – stopping the wall, legalizing 11 million illegals, declaring that everybody in the US today has a path to citizenship, be they legal or illegal, deleting references to the 1776 commission in the whitehouse website, revoking the permission of the Keystone pipeline (and ironically upsetting Canada, which would normally be celebrating him), and trying to rejoin WHO, Paris accord and all that
The great thing about the January 6th riots is that it forced Republicans to show their true colors on where they stood on Trump, and today was another such day, when Pence, McConnell and McCarthy all showed themselves as willing to ‘normalize’ (to use one favorite cliche of the Left) Biden. I hope that the President really does what the WSJ reported him as contemplating, and start a new Patriot Party, and leave the GOP. In the House, he’ll probably have a third to half of the members join him and caucus accordingly, in the senate, he’ll probably have a quarter to a third, and he might have a lot of governors. That would be a good start.
That way, a new Patriot Party can just whitelist members who do support America-first and KAG policies, and automatically leave out the McConnells, Cheneys, Sasses and Murkowskis. I am convinced that the GOP needs to split, and if that’s gonna happen, the time to do it is now! Get the new party started, start recruiting people to run in state, local and national races all over the country, or at least in red states, so that by 2022 itself, the GOP gets wiped out, and all those losers can sign up for the ‘Lincoln Project’
tgusa says
The GOP sent me a text today asking for a donation. They used Brian Mast to pull at my wallet. While I have nothing against Mast I texted back that the GOP was dead to me. I was always with Trump and nothing has changed.
Fred Skolnick says
Ditto
jim says
I am afraid that a third party would be another Bull Moose party. It splits the Republicans and gives the Dems the WH. It only works in parliamentary systems like GB or Germany, and even there it is unlikely that a 3rd party candidate could get to be chancellor.
Infidel says
I don’t agree! Let’s say a Patriot Party came in and ran against both Republicans and Dems
It would win the bulk of working class votes, hurting the Dems, and on the right, it would also vacuum up votes of MAGA/KAG voters. Leftists might vote Dem, and those people who refuse to vote Trump b’cos of his personality may vote GOP, but that’ll reduce both of them to fringe status. In the bulk of states, plurality of votes is all that’s needed to win a seat
Also note that there is enough friction in the Democrat Party: only reason they are united is Trump, but if they see the GOP splitting, they’ll feel bold enough to split as well. Ideally, I think as a country, we should have 3-4 parties – Patriots, Republicans, Democrats and Socialists. I have a feeling that in such a scenario, the Republicans and Democrats would merge
gravenimage says
That is certainly a danger, Jim.
tgusa says
How many Trump supporters would stay with either party? Demolicans. Even that name sounds disturbing. A real turn-off.
Fred Skolnick says
If the Election Process isn’t cleaned up, it wont matter how many Parties there are. We will never have a fair Election again.
Rob Porter says
Infidel – Don’t delude yourself about Canadians. In the most dimwitted manner most of them (outside Alberta) will consider the Keystone Pipeline cancellation a minor hiccup in relations with the new ‘wonderful’ Biden president, are rejoicing over his election and rejecting as fraudulent all discussion of the rigged election. Last night I watched a Paul Workman on CBC talking utter drivel with his fantasyland, thumb-suck, projection of all the wonders that will emerge from a Joe Biden Administration. Workman was truly pitiful, his wondrous thoughts utter nonsense, but most Canadian viewers will have soaked up this utter crap as if it were gospel. How else do you think Canadians managed to elect – and re-elect – a disgusting liar and fool like Justin Trudeau as their ‘leader’? It takes a very special genius.
Clifford Fodor says
You must have vote fraud problems, too. Do you really think there are honest Muslims in Canada?
James Lincoln says
I agree, Wellington.
Anyone who actually voted for Biden is a political fool…
mortimer says
Biden, like El Cid, was a ‘Dead Candidate’ that was carried across the finish line.
Biden did nothing to win the presidency but exit from the basement into the glaring daylight and then return to the basement. Hence, the Biden Squinty Look. He is not used to daylight.
James Lincoln says
And I hope that Sleepy Joe has been taking some vitamin D to make up for that lack of sunshine…
Westman says
“The head of project Amad was a nuclear scientist named Mohsen Fakhrizdeh.”
Was, is the operative word, courtesy of Israel. And no Sunnis are are saddened by it.
The danger now, without US support, is Israel may be forced into war with Iran to secure its own survival. It’s a terrible position for Israel – damned if you do and dead if you don’t. If Biden intends to keep supporting the defense of Israel, he must speak up soon or Khamenei will decide that he has an unspoken mandate to destroy Israel.
gravenimage says
Good analysis.
Walter Sieruk says
The naive and unrealistic American people who are actually hopeful that inauguration of Joe Biden into the power of the presidency will be start of a better America probably have the political blinders on and are likewise in a state of mental dental about what kind of awful character that sinister and subversive old Biden really is . Those same people in time,sooner or later will be very disappointed. They will have an a extremely harsh reality check in store for them.
To put this in another way, the people who are so very naive as to sincerely believe that the Biden inauguration will be beginning of a new and improved America are most likely the same people who believe that Santa Claus is a real person.
Walter Sieruk says
That insidious unconscionable dangerously subversive terrible man Joe Biden , as a President, pretender of the United States he will just mindlessly just continue in the same old terribly flawed fool and unAmerican pro-Islamic policies of his former boss and chief, Obama, favoring that tyrannical cruel and hostile Islamic regime of Iran.
The Biden administration is a catastrophe just waiting to occur.
James Lincoln says
Walter Sieruk says,
“The Biden administration is a catastrophe just waiting to occur.”
It’s already a catastrophe, Walter.
Just look at today’s US Presidential Executive Orders, for starters…
mortimer says
Disastrous invaders will soon breech the Mexican-US border making the breech of the Senate look like a lark.
Iran’s proxies will soon be gearing up for attacks in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and elsewhere.
Put on your seatbelts. Biden’s weakness is seen as an invitation by America’s enemies.
gravenimage says
Grimly agree, James and Mortimer.
Infidel says
Yeah, James, when President Trump described Biden as one of the stupidest people in the senate, I used to think it was just hyperbole. But looking at his EOs today, I realize how accurate Trump was. He could have started w/ the stimulus checks, or vaccine distribution, or something like it. Instead, he rattled everything that would make people nervous, be it the border wall, abortion EOs, banning oil drilling in ANWR, stopping the Keystone pipeline (ironically, Canada is concerned, since they can’t now get their oil out) and ending the 1776 commission (he probably thinks we were founded in 1619)
If he wanted to humiliate Trump, he could have started by pre-emptively ‘pardoning’ him: the reason Trump didn’t do it for himself was that he did nothing wrong, but if Biden thinks he did, he can convey that left-handed compliment by pardoning him. But issuing all these EOs just b’cos Trump did the opposite is really inane
Walter Sieruk says
Today 1/20 /21 is the inauguration day of Joe Biden as the President of the United States of America.
Likewise is specfic inauguration event may wisely be taken as an evil omen of a coming calamity for the USA ..
Huh!?! says
Uncle Sam is in deep trouble. No doubt about it. I just pray God still will bless the U. S. and protect the U.S. from these two fraudulent people.
gravenimage says
Biden Is Already Rewarding Failure
……………
No surprise there.
Walter Sieruk says
This Joe Biden inauguration day may be seen as having a symbolic meaning .Which is that the this day of the inauguration of Joe Biden as President of the USA may well be understood also sympoble of doomsday for America.
James Lincoln says
I certainly hope you’re wrong, Walter.
I was looking at books the other day and I came upon “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany” by William L. Shirer.
All I could think of was a nightmare called “The Rise and Fall of the United States”.
I pray that the country finally wakes up – and prevents this from *ever* happening.
To say that I am deeply concerned is a gross understatement…
Walter Sieruk says
With this inauguration of Joe Biden as President and likewise start ofthe Biden administration,this sad and tragic event marks the start of the beginning of the end of the United States of America of a great world power .
So th USA is now finished forever as a major world power anong all the other nations.
Walter Sieruk says
On inauguration day ,Joe Biden ,in his speech declared a half -truth .That is the first part of his sentence that is true. Is when he said that January 20, 2021 this is “A day of history..” That is very true . It’s very obvious that that his inauguration day will be part of ” a day of history ” of America.Will be that future historians will write about how that day marked the start of the final decline of the United States as a great power and fall into a dismal third world power.
As for when Biden further said about his inauguration say being a day of”hope.” The only “hope ” for the US now by some naive Americans is a day of a “false hope since the start of the rise of the Biden administration will be a calamity for the USA.
In addition, when lying Biden said a totally false statement when he said “This is democracy’s day.” This is a completely bogus claim . In reality that day is the day for start of the the terrible powerful advancement of socialism and and Sharia law in America.
Ade Fegan says
Biden supporters wear LASC caps
(let America stay crap)
A David Darman says
How do you bankrupt a casino?
Infidel says
Yeah, let’s assess Trump according to his failures in the 80s, as opposed to his great success in the last 4 years. And no, the Chinavirus doesn’t count: that would be like blaming Churchill for the breakout of WWII
gravenimage says
David Darman used to be an Anti-Jihadist. Of late, all he has done is castigate Donald Trump. Very odd stuff.
Fred Skolnick says
This is an Administration of Libs, Lefties, and Socialists. It’s a Circus. Any good that POTUS Trump’s accomplished will be erased by these Traitorous Incompetents.
OLD GUY says
Yes we are going to be overrun with migrants from South America, who hopefully want to become Americans and are willing to learn our language and work for a living. The group I worry about are the Muslims/islamics who will infiltrate our country with no plan on becoming Americans or part of our society and culture. Open borders with no background checking and verifications will bring lots of bad people looking to take advantage of our society and tax payers.
Oh I know the WHITE people of America need to pay for it all. It’s the WHITES fault so many countries in the world are failing to take care of their own. And because we have worked hard to achieve our lifestyle we should have to give out fortune and lifestyle to everyone else. Thats the liberal left plan.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s obvious that future historians will record Donald Trump as a great American President.
In contrast they will no doubt, record Joe Biden as a catastrophe for the USA.
